NEW YORK, March 20.--Resum-

sue Opposition Claim II
Payne Bill is Enacted
CUBAN RECIPROCITY CAUSE
Favored Nation Clause Which Is Ap-
piled to Cuba Other Countries
Could Come in and Ask Same Fa-
vors be Granted.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 20.
That the Payne tariff bill would
bring great international tariff war
il enacted, because Of the section
which continues in operation the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty, Is one Of the
arguments that is being made against
the measure. 1t is urged that foreign
countries which would otherwise
agree to give the United States the
benefit Of the most favored nation
clause in return for the minimum
scale Of duties provided for in the
Payne bill will contend that the Gu
ban reciprocity provision in the most
favored nation clause Of American tar
iff and therefore refuse to enter into a
low tariff agreement with this coun-
try. The difficulty was not overlooked
BY the trainers of the measure who
after carefully considering It agreed
to allow it to remain upon the as
sumption that other countries recog
nize unusual relations existing be-
tween the United States and Cuba
would not object to lower duties
which the island republic would get
Furthermore in support Of this argu-
ment it is, contended that Cuba ships
to this country articles which do not
compete with imports Of countries
OF Europe There other difficulties
in operation successfully maximum
and a minimum tariff. Most Euro
pean nations have special trade rela-
tions on certain products with neigh
boring countries and il would be in
consistent for the United States to
expect these nations to abrogate these
agreements in order to get the bene-
fit Of our minimum duties. On the
other hand the trainers Of the Payne
bill have designed the maximum pro-
visions in such way that virtually
every country in Europe will be COM
PEELED to seek for minimum duties in
time.

TARIFF AND STOCKS.

NEW YORK, March 2O.--The in
PRODUCTION Of the tariff bin into the
special session Of Congress had little
effect on the stock market. 1t had
been expected that the proposed re-
ductions Of duties would weaken
stocks of many corporations directly
interested in the protective duties on
imports. But the professional short
selling previous to the introduction
of the bill more than balanced such
selling as may have been caused BY
it. The conviction that many altera-
tions will be made in the bill before
its final adoption disposes operators
in stocks to adopt a waiting attitude
pending more definite shaping Of the
proposed law, The growing tide Of
the gold movement to London at
tracted increased attention as the
week closed.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE RACES IN

PORTLAND, March 20.-Almost

fir Of mysterious origin at an early
hour this morning in the switchboard

entire telephone service on the West
Side is entirely cut Off causing an
almost complete paralysis of the

day,
Before the lines will be again in
working order 900 cables, each carry
ing 60 wires or a total Of 5000 wires,

like beavers to restore the lines, but
as the working space is only about
six feet square, only limited mum,
Der of electricians can be employed

work where the greatest damage
would follow, for had any other part
of the system been damaged certain
wires could have been cut and the

NASHVILLE, March 20.--After
filing bond totaling nearly $l,SOO,0O0
Colonel D. B. Cooper and Robin j.
Cooper, convicted OF murder in the
second degree and sentenced to 20
years in the peniientiary for killing
former Senator Carmack, retired to
the home Of Judge J. c. Bradford to-
night Although Judge Hart fixed
the bond at $4,000 for each defend
an, there was a rush to sign /, by the
wealthy citizens OF Nashville. In
vain the clerk protested that more
than enough sureties had been sign
cd than needed but the invariable
answers was I'VE want to put our
names on that bond, too"
Guilty Of murder in the second de-
gree, with 20 years imprisonment as
the penalty, was the verdict of the
jury this morning in the case against
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper and his
son. Robin Cooper. charged with the
murder Of former United States Sen.
ator +, W. carmaek.
The jury yesterday acquitted John
Sharpe, a co.defendant. Immediately
the defense moved to set aside the
verdict because of the verdict Of dis
agreement Of yesterday and asked
the court TO declare il mistrial,
Judge Hart said he would listen to
arguments on this motion later He
then fixed the defendants bonds at
$4,000 each, which amount was ac-
ceptabie to both sides. The verdict,
coming as il did upon the heels of
Foreman Burke's declaration yester-
day that "we are hopelessly tied up
as to the Coopers," was a decided
surprise.
The jurors looked tired, and when
the court remarked. 81 thank you,
gentlemen, for your patience and de-
votion to the state, and dismiss you
to your homes and your personal
ayocations," the entire IL sprang
from their seats as one man and
hurriedly left the courtroom. The
defendants and their counsel remain
ed to complete the bond preliminaries
and motions for a new trial.
The jurors we're not inclined to
talk, but one OF them said;
"On the first ballot we acquitted
John Sharpe and disregarded the CON
spiracy theory On this same ballot
we stood six for guilty OF murder in
the first degree, with mitigating cir
cumstances, FIVE for murder in the
second degree, with 20 years, the
maximum penalty, and one for ac-
quittal, The ballots all day Wednes-
day and Thursday showed the same
result, Yesterday the man who voted
for acQuittal went over to murder in
the second degree, but demanded that
only 10 years be assessed The rest
of us did not deem 10 years as any
thing like adequate, so we disagreed
again OF course this all refers to
the Coopers, not to Sharpe, who we
acquitted, Early this morning the
man who was holding out for 10
years agreed to 20 years and the six
who were voting for first degree
agreed to this verdict"
