COURTS DEFIED
IN CALHOUN RAID

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March q
An open outbreak is looked for as a
result of the Developments Of the last
forty-eight hours in connection with the
trial Of Patrick ]. Calhoun. head Of the
Tn on Railways, for attempted bribery,
and on both sides the feeling is SO in
tense that no one is bold enough TO
forecast where the matter viii end
The nine men who have been placed
under arrest on allegations which in
clude larceny of evidence from the
office OF District Attorney LangdOn
and disclosing plans of the prosecution
to the defendants attorneys, were ar
raigned before Police Judge Deasey for
4 preliminary hearing today
The fact that the raid on Calhoun's 8
Offices in which his safes were broken
open and his private papers inspected,
was made by State Detective Burns in
defiance of an injunction by Judge
Murasky OF the supreme court. adds
to the complications OF the case. The
real reason for the raid, friends of Cal
houn assert, was not to discover evil
dence that had been stolen from the
prosecution Instead. il is alleged that
il was to find out what copies Of tele-
grams Calhoun had IN the safe among
his private papers In order to prove
that Calhoun is guilty OF the charge on
which he is on trial 1t will be necessary
to show that while he was IN New
York city he sent q telegram TO the
officials OF the United Railways here
directing them to make no payments of
money as bribes- There IS no record,
so far as has been found of such teie-
grams I'm the local telegraph Offices
but the prosecution has insisted that the
local records have been tampered with
The officials Of the prosecution declare
they raided the safes TO get back docu-
its that had been stolen from the
iiIfice OF the district attorney. They an
nounce today that they are not through
raiding vet, and intimate that they will
find Just what they want before they

Potent as is the high tariff sentiment
in the Senate, and despite the talk
that the Senate will shove the tariff
duties higher than those in the Payne
bill. there is a strong probability that
the tariff measure which is passed
there will. on the whole, provide for
lower duties than the one which passes
the House
This is the belief OF some OF the lead
ing Senators who are in favor OF real
revision downward. They have been
scanning the ground pretty carefully in
the last week. As the result of this
accommodating, the conclusion has been
reached that from thirty-fve to forty
Senators are going TO insist that the
Senate bill be something more than re-
vision in name, and that it afford some
relief to the consumer.
Those Senators who are anxious TO
see the duties made higher than they
are in the Payne bill are finding them
selves in a difficult situation. Senator
Aldrich, as chairman or the Finance
Committee, who is naturally inclined
TO impose as high rates of duty as
Congress will stand for, finds that in
the first place there is strenuous op-
position to the inheritance tax and no
revenue can be expected from this di-
rection, because that feature of the bill
will probably be stricken out
To provide the necessary revenue,
without the imposition of many millions
of dollars of internal revenue taxation,
it is necessary to hold duties down 10
a point where there will be some i'm
portations and the rates of duty will
lot be prohibitiVe. In Other words, If
the Senate goes about increasing duties
over those imposed in the Payne bill,
the tendency will be 10 shut off revenue
and this is just what the Republican
leaders in the Senate are fearful Of do
ing, because il points to deficits, bond
issues, and other things of that sort
which are not comfortable for the
Administration.
Another Obstacle
Another large obstacle in the way of
the Senate increasing the rates, as
many of the large protected inter ests
insist be done, IS the flood of pro-
tests which are beginning to reach the
Capitol The country is just waking
up to the fact that the high cost of
living is going to be made still higher

SCHOOLS FOR RAILWAY MEN.
A Novel System Of Special Education
in Cape Colony.

A railway school system has been
devised and inaugurated for the edu-
cation of children living in out-of-the-'
way places, and it has also been util-
lied in cases of railway employees in
centers of considerable population.
Statistics of these railway schools for
1908 show that there are forty-one
schools on the railways. with a total
enrolment of 2135 pupils. Many of
these children would have no educa-.
tional advantages if it were not for
the railway schools established es-
pecially for them. The expense to the
Cape government railways for these
schools was s2S,3s7 for the year 1907.
Whenever railway employees in iso-
lated places can guaantee an average
attendance, of ten children or more.
not otherwise provided for by the
railway schools the railway depart
