The defense secured an early luncheon

medical witnesses TO Flushing to swear
ths Captain Hams was insane when he
killed Tnnis. The State scored a dis
tinct victory when it got a ruling from
Judge Garretson that the defense must
show that there existed the taint of
lnsanity IN the mind of Captain Hains
before IT would become competent to
show the effect upon him of the stories
told about his wife's alleged infdelity
The defense had withdrawn General
Hams from the stand to make room
Tor an expert, who declared he ex-
a'nined Captain Hams IN the jaiI
and considered him insane. This was
not sufficient. however. and So the
adjournment was granted in order

called 70 tell of the present condition

Vations from the time he was incar-

Taxation and Representation.
President Taft, through mass

Americans, should determine how we
should spend our money.

MEASURE HITS HARD
BONDING CONCERNS
Tawney's Bill Would Create
a Government Bureau
for Officials.

Chairman Tawney of the House
Committee on Appropriations today
completed his plans to put the So
called bonding trust in the District
out of business and thereby relieve
Government clerks or the necessity OF
paving unnecessarily high rates.
The deficiency bill, which VIII De lii-
traduced by Mr. Tawney later IN the
session, viii contain paragraph Great
ing a bureau in the Treasury Depart
D1ent the officers of which Will have
charge of the bonds of all Government
officials and clerks. II Is Mr.. TawneJ
intention 10 have the bureau collect
small premium each year from those
whose positions are such that a bond
is necessary, and the premiums Will 30
into a special fund which viii be held
70 reimburse the Government IN case d
default.
Fund of s7oo,oOo.
II is estimated that these premiums,
based on the rates charged prior to
January / of the present year, would
create fund Of 100000 during the first
year. The fund, Mr.. Tawney explains,
would grow rapidly and Ids plan Is TO
have the rate of the premiums auto
matically reduced from year to year,
according TO the size OF he FUND, SO
thar within comparatively snort utle
the amount collected by the Govern
ment from it's clerks on the bonds issued
would be a very small amount
The benefit to the Government can be
realized when It IS stated that In the
Postoffice Department alone bonding
companies collected S320, 900.
Clerks Protected.
The concerns announced some time
ago that the premiums would be trebled,
and as soon as Chairman Tawney heard
OF this he set about preparing his bill.
Even though the men DO not care 70
take advantage of the loans which VIII
be furnished by the Government, they
will be protected by Mr.. Tawney's bill,
which carries the further provision that
no bond will be accepted from a COM
pany that demands a premium In ex-
cess of 81 a thousand, which was the
rate In effect on January l, 1909.

PRESIDENT QUOTED
FOR LOWER TARIFF
Senator Nelson Argues for
Revision Downward All
Along Line.

Senator Nielsen of Minnesota in his
speech in favor of free lumber IN the
Senate this afternoon quoted President
Taft himself as being in favor of re-
vision downward and in me with his
own position IN respect to the tarin
bill. Mr.. Nelson said the sentiment Of
the people in the great Northwest was
for revision downward and that they
had wanted it for the last several years.
Since my remarks OF several days
ago said Senator Nelson, some Sen
ators have been whispering about that
1 aI1 a tree trader. 4 don mind that
You may call me names as much as you
please- But l desire TO quote TO you
President Taft himself ah1 to take my
stano upon the sentiments ne expressed
IA that speech"
Quotes From Taft.
Senator Nelson then quoted from
speech OF President Taft made some
months ago. in which Mr. Taft said he
believed the way TO stamp out trusts
ano monopolies was to avoid excessive
tariff rates.
senator Nelson said that for several
years in the northwest the people had
been looking to revision Of the tariff
and when they spoke OF Il they meant
revision downward. He declared that
what made MT Taft strong with the
people Of that section was that when
he was nominated he had come out
squarely for revision downward.
Senator Nelson then sentered into a
discussion OF the lumber tariff and made
forciDle argument for free lumber.
Lower Lumber Tariff.
My objection TO the duty levied on
lumber" said he. rests on the fact that
II is fostering and building up one Of the
worst mOnopOlies in this country. We
have heard much about the Standard
OIL monopoly. but this much can be
said Of II. that II has made reductions
from time TO time In the prices OF It's
products. That much cannot be said OF
the lumber monopoly.
Senator Nelson pointed out two jokers
IN the lumber schedule. one Of these
mad the effect Of making the duty on
squared timber higher than In the
Dingley law. Another had the effect
OF imposing q cumulative duty of 3
per cent on lumber additional 70 the
duties appearing I'm the face or the bill.
