Defense in Calhoun Case Insinuates

Change Testimony for Base Purpose.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.-With
every new issue bitterly contested the
attorneys engaged in the trial of Par
trick Calhoun, president of the Unit
ed Railroads, devoted the entire ses-
sion to a minute scrutiny of the tes-
timony of Ferdinand P. Nicholas, the
former supervisor, who is alleged to
have been the recipient of a bribe Of
fered by the United Railroads. Mich
olas spent half the day testifying on
redirect examination by the prosecu-
ton and the greater part of the ses-
sion was devoted to argument on the
admission of his testimony.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
]. Heney, reviving a portion of cross
examination by Earl Rogers, declared
that the defense had attempted to
demonstrate to the jury that Nicholas
had changed his testimony given in
former trials because Of fear that he
would be indicted and convicted as
was Michael w. Coffey, another men,
Der of the board.
To support his adverse contention,
Mr.. Heney called as witness Ste
nographer who recorded the first con-
fession of Nicholas. For two hours
the attorneys argued over the admis-
sion of this testimony. At the end OF
this period Judge Lawlor made an Or

officials appear paralyzed, waiting for
the outcome of the events.
There is much satisfaction at the
signing of the protocol, which re-
lieves apprehensions of intervention
by Bulgaria. Throughout the night
there was great suspense at the Yil-
diz Kiosk. Everybody remained
awake, and many attendants fled,
fearing an attack upon the palace,
which is situated on the heights out
side of the city and is exposed to the
coup de main.
The consensus OF opinion is that if
the abdication of the sultan is brought
about, the proclamation of his sue
cessor will be completed peacefully.
Many Turkish families in the cen
ter of the city are removing to
abodes of greater safety, but in gen.
eral the people, though fearful of
coming events, are awaiting them
philosophically and with resignation

BUTTE, April 19.-Counsel for Fred
J. Bliss, complainant in the action
brought to close down the Anaconda
smelter, largest in the world, for al
legged damage because of poisonous
emanations from it's stack, today sub
mitted an offer to settle a question
of damages by arbitration and to dis
pose of the lands of the Deer Lodge
valley to the company through con-
demnation proceedings. Judge Hunt
had set today as the time for Bliss to
show cause, if he could, why the
smelter should be ordered to adopt
other means for further reducing the
solids in the smoke, but he had no evil
dence to offer. The offer to arbitrate
comes after the court had decided
there was no cause for an injunction.
Hearing on proof had been offered by
the smelter to show that every prac-
ticable process known to science was
in use at the smelter, and that the
company was prepared to adopt any
others that might solve the smoke
question. There being no proof Of
fered from Bliss on the matter, Judge
Hunt took the offer of arbitration un-
der consideration and it is expected
that his decision will be final in the
smoke case, an action on which the
costs have aggregated half a million
dollars.

Victorious Young Turks.

LONDON, April 19.-Interest in the
Turkish crisis is now chiefly con-
cerned with the fate of the sultan
and there is little doubt that he will
be deposed.
Recent developments have served to
emphasize the devotion of the whole
country to constitutional government.
The advancing troops tonight
reached San Stefani, which is about
seven miles from the capital, and the
victorious young Turks have refused
to consider anything but the uncon-
ditional acceptance of their terms.
The British governments latest dis
patches all point to peaceful settle
ment and that foreigners are in no
danger.
All rumors of the actual abdication
or flight of the sultan appear prema-
ture.

Dominant Features of First Days

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Music,
patriotism, oratory and harmony were
the dominant features of the first
days session of the Eighteenth Con-
tinental congress of the national So
ciety of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
With the interest at fever heat over
the impending election of a successor
to Mrs. Donald Mclean of New York,
the retiring president general, the
Daughters surged into the great audi
torium in great numbers. The two
contestants for president general, Mrs.
Matthew Scott of Illinois and Mrs.
William Cummins Story of New York,
occupied conspicuous seats in the
hall. On the platform were Vice
President Sherman, Ambassador JUS
serand of France and Judge Henry
Stockbridge, president general of the
Sons of Veterans.
When all were seated the chairman
stepped to the front of the platform
and heralded the approach of Mrs.
Mclean, who was preceded by num-
ber of charter members of the organ
iZation. She was accorded an ova-
ton. the Daughters all standing and
clapping their hands. Mrs. Mclean,
in her address, made it the occasion
for farewell talk. She said she loved
the service she had performed and
loved it we'll
81 have given you my whole soul,
my mind, my body, my energy. What
ever God has given to me, have
given to you," she said. Vice Presi-
Sherman, Ambassador Jusserand and
Judge Stockbridge were the principal
speakers.
Daughters Congratulated.
Mr.. Sherman congratulated the
daughters on their patriotism and de-
clared that the men who fought in
the Revolution little thought of what
the government for which they were
laying the foundation would be. As
he concluded, an immense silk flag
was unfurled and the Marine band
struck up "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," the words being sung by Mayor
Smith of Frederick. Md, the birth
place of Francis Scott Key.
Among the gifts of memorials for
the Continental hall was a solid ma
hogany table, reproduction of the
one used by the signers of the Decla-
ration OF Independence and which will
be used permanently by the president
general in all the proceedings. 1t was

District of Columbia.

tions and the Russian cruiser Admiral
Greig is lying in the Bosphorous
ready to take off the sultan.
Further proof of the unlikelihood of
resistance to the young Turks army
and the desire of the authorities to
appease the Salonikans, is found in
the issuance of orders for the trans
portation of 5000 troops of the Con-
stantinople garrison. This will mean
the removal from the capital of all
participants in Tuesdays revolt.
1t is expected that the invading
troops will enter the city on Wednes-
day or Thursday by the right wing,
by way of Stamboul, seizing the war
office, the porte and parliament; the
left wing crossing the Sweetwaters to
secure the heights above the Yildiz

ing the debate on the pending tariff
bill today, Senator Aldrich, chairman
of the committee on finance, assured
the senate in most positive terms that
the bill reported from the finance
committee would produce ample reye-

ed that, if by any possibility these
estimates should prove to be incor-
rect, the duty of congress would be
ito reduce expenditures and make
them conform to actual revenue con-
ditions and not to impose new and
onerous taxes"
While he did not refer specifically
to any proposition to impose an in
come tax, his statement declaring
that ample revenue may be derived
from other sources, was accepted as
direct opposition to all such PROPOSE
tions.
