Nashville. March 17.-Judge Hart
today delivered one of the longest
charges to a jury in the history OF
Tennessee in the trial of Col. Cooper
and Robin Cooper, his son and John
Sharpe, charged with the murder of
former Senator Carmack. The in
structions contained $4,000 words and
semed not to favor either side.
1t covered every point raised at
the trial. 1t was the general opinion
before the court convened that the
jury would disagree. In the course of
the instructions the court said:
while the indictment contains one
charge under the law. it embraces four
felonies, a murder in the first de-
gree, murder in the second degree,
voluntary manslaughter and invol-
untary manslaughter."

Il reached the senate. Senator Smith
pleaded that It was greatly needed to
enforce arguments now being made in

clared the line must be drawn some
where and insisted on a motion for
indefinite action, though protesting his
desire to assist the senator from Una

countries. A reduction of five cents

contrary to the stand taken by the
senate on the opening day.
This was the first memorial to
show up and the manner of its
equelching prevented the appearance
of any other similar measures. 1t
was postponed Indefinitely by viva
voca vote.
This resolution was almost identi-
cal to the one which was introduced
by Senator Smith, two years ago. as
n joint memorial. 1t was passed at
that time and forwarded to Wash
ington; but it failed to have the de-
sired effect. The fight for the free
roads was recently resumed with re-
newed vigor and it was believed that
the passage of the resolution at this
time would have had much weight.

Washington, March 17.-Repre-
sentative Serene Payne, chairman of
the ways and means committee to-
day presented tariff bill bearing his
name, containing a hundred thousand
words. The bill represents the judg-
ment of the committee passed on eight
thousand pages of printed testimony,
thirty thousand letters, and all known
statistics on the subject. The estlmat-
ed revenue under the duties prescribe
ed will be three hundred million dol
lars. The bin authorizes the issu-
ance OF treasury certificates amount
ing to two hundred and fifty million
dollars to run a year. Lumber tariff
is reduced fifty per cent. Coal and
agricultural implements are on a re-
clprocal basis. Tariff on woods OF
the first and second class are un-
changed. Hides are admitted free,
and shoes are reduced forty per cent.
Washington, March 17.-Chalrman
Payne explained the bill fully and
said Maximum rates are applied
TO countries discriminating against
the United States, or not giving the
United States rates as favorable as
they give to other nations. He said
this section was self acting, making
1t the duty of the president to collect
duties in accordance with the terms
Of the bill, and leaving 1t open for the
courts to decide upon the legality of
such actions He said: I'VE have a
large deficit. but revenues under the
present system will be improvins
monthly as business conditions be-
come better. The last normal year
for imports was the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1906, therefore the COM
mittee took 1906 as basis upon
which to form an estimate of the rev.
enue-producing qualities of the new
bill With the return of anything like
normal conditions during the next
fiscal year. It is safe to predict that
the deficit will be entirely wiped out; !
If not the bill provides for an issue
of Panama canal bonds to reimburse |
the treasury. There was also reen- !
acted a provision for issuing certif!-
Gates running for year for the pur- !
pose of replenishing the treasury and
raising from one hundred to two hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars"
The reduction of fifty per cent on
lumber duty will work greatly to the
advantage of Canadian lumbermen.
The reduction is opposed by lumber
men of the Pacific.
First and second class of wool will
remain unchanged, while the duty on
third class wool valued at not more
than 10 cents per pound is fixed at
three cents. Wool valued at from 10
to 16 cents must pay an additional
duty of half a cent for every other
pound for an excess cent of addition ,
al value over 10 cents. Wool valued
over 16 cents must pay duty of sgven
cents a pound. Printing paper val
ued at not more than quarter of d,
cent per pound Is reduced from three ,
Ienths to one tenth of cent per :

month are surprising those of all
previous months. This growth is
even more noticeable out of town
than in the city. Over 100 subscrib-
