new FIRST SACKER
FOR ST.. LOUIS TEAM

CHICAGO, April 2s-The Browns are
to have another infieder when they get
back home next Sunday. First Baseman
Paterson. with the Pueblo Club OF the
Western League last season, is to become
a full-fedged Brownie as soon as the
team returns home. Paterson was pro-
cured by McAleer last fall and 1t was
supposed he would be taken on the
spring training trip for trial. but for
some reason he was left out and McAleer
announced he had been allowed to go
back to Pueblo.
Paterson was in Chicago yesterday and.
after comforting with Manager McAleer.
/ it was agreed that he would join the
Browns in St Louis next week.
He is a big rangy fellow and hard
hitter. He played first base for Pueblo
last year. but it is said he can work
equally well at second. McAleer will give
him a thorough try-out during the long
home series that will follow the present
trip. but, Of course there is little chance
that he will beat Jones or Williams out
of their jobs.
Paterson batted second in the Western
League last year. 90 for 11o games.

American leagues. The proceeds and
profits of base ball will not admit of the
paying of such an exorbitant sum, and
Walsh and all other ball players should
realize this fact. There are limits to
everything and this demand upon the
part of Walsh is entirely beyond the linn
it of reasonableness. and the base ball
public stands to a man with Comiskey in
the latter's refusal to accede to such a
selfish and egotistical demand.
Contrasted with the status of Walsh's
case, that of Mathewson appears to be
one of equity. The great New York
pitcher has preserved dignified silence,
has never uttered a word for public print,
has made no vain boastings and, we be-
lieye, has asked for nothing more than he
is worth. He accompanied the team
south. participated in many of the pre-
limnary games. has practiced faithfully
since returning to New York, and is fit to
agement accedes to his modest request.
On the authority of the New York papers,
Mathewson's contract last year only
called for $1,000. Every one conversant
with Mathewsons record will admit that
it was his superior work that brought the
Giants up to within one game of the
championship last fall, and that $1,000
was not commensurate with his worth as
determined by his work. He is entitled to
an increase of 81 900 at least. and an ex-
ira bonus of $500 would not be hardship
ished high up in the race this year and
his work suffered no deterioration over
that Of 1908. That Mathewson will get
his increase is the general opinion of those
who know the facts in the case, and he
deserves 1t.

COMMITTEE DECIDES
To STRIKE OUT
DUTY
COUNTERVAlLING TARIFF ON
COFFEE is CONSIDERED A
COSTLY VENTURE.

Washington, March 30.-Recognizing
export tax on coffee, because the tax
is indissolubly linked with her foreign
debt, the senate committee on finance
decided today to strike out of the
Payne bill the countervailing duty pro-
posed.
Members of the committee said that
If the Payne provision were adopted
it would have the effect of placing
duty on coffee imported from Brazil
equal to the export tax assessed by
that country and the consumer would
be compelled to pay the difference in
cost. The responsibility of such a re
suit could not be shirked, it was said,
and congress would have to answer
to the people for this assessment
against necessity.
Secretary Knox sent to the commit
tee some confidential data supplied to
him by the Brazilian embassy in which
it was shown beyond contradiction
that Brazil, from which country comes
most of the coffee used in the United
States, could not repeal its export tax,
as foreign loans were secured by that
tax.
Undoubtedly that information had a
great deal to do in aiding the finance
committee in reaching it's decision, as
the data contradicted the theory of
the house ways and means committee
that if the countervailing duty was
adopted it would force Brazil to re-
move the export tax so far as it ap-
piled to importations by the United
States.
incidentally the senate committee is
seeking information about the alleged
American syndicate credited with hav-
ing 100000 bags Of coffee in storage
to be held for rise in price, which,
1t is believed would inevitably follow
the passage of the Payne bill in its
present form.

WALLACE, IDAHO, MAN is DE-

DER BY DENVER JURY.

Denver, Colo, March 3O.-The jury
in the case of John H. Cradlebaugh
of Wallace, Idaho, on trial for the mur-
der Of Frederick w. Walton, this
morning brought in a verdict of not
guilty. e4ssas assssgsa ~ iass-sss4,ts s.asSs
The verdict was reached shortly be-
fore midnight last night after two
or three jurors had stood out for con-
viction for some time.
Cradlebaugh, who is prominent
Odd Fellow of Idaho, shot and killed
Walton few weeks ago at the corner
Of Sixteenth and Champa streets after
Walton had refused to tell him where
Cradlebaugh's wife and boy, with
whom Walton had come to Denver,
were living. Both the 'unwritten law"
and self defense were urged in Cradle
baugh's defense and Mrs. Cradlebaugh
herself went on the stand and told of
her relations with Walton in an effort
to save her husband from the gal
lows.
Cradlebaugh, who has been confident
of acquittal from the first, took the
verdict coolly.
Walton was also an Odd Fellow.

TEXAS MAN HEARD FROM
Dies Accuses kitchin Of Being Free
trader, Which Draws Fire From the
Former Congressman Says That a
Year Ago Even Bankers and Trust
Companies Had No Money.

Washington, March 3O.-The tariff
debate waxed warm in the house to-
day. A revival of the discussion Of
the oil and lumber. schedules was like
setting a match to both products for
the subjects proved Of absorbing inter-
est to the members who entered gen.
orally into the debate. To Mr.. Vree-
land Of New York was accorded the
privilege Of explaining the position Of
the independent refiners who want the
countervailing duty on crude petroleum
retained, while Mr., Kitchin of North
Carolina, in an exhaustive treatment
of the question, pleaded for free
lumber.
A spirited discussion took place
among Messrs. Kitchin, Dies of Texas,
and Graham and Burke of Pennsylvania.
The Texas member accused Kitchin of
being a free-trader, which brought the
retort that those democrats who were
asking protection for their sections on
the plea that it was for revenue only
should come forward and admit that
the republican party had been right
and the democratic party wrong.
Mr.. Kitchin said that under Cleve-
shipped to the United States but
50,000,000 feet Of lumber more than
came in under the Mckinley law.
"They did not have the money to
buy" interjected Mr.. Graham.
Democratic applause met the reply
of MIR. Kitchin that only a year ago
even bankers and trust companies had
no money. He mentioned in particular
Pittsburg, "that citadel Of protection"
He declared that Pittsburg sent to
congress representatives who would
vote for it's interests.
This utterance aroused Mr.. Burke.
who vigorously denied its accuracy.
Mr.. Kitchin declared that the final
tariff bill would be made by four men
two in the house and two in the
senate.
you know who they are," he ex-
claimed, facing the republicans. "That
is the bill you are going to swallow"
he said, "and for that reason they
have put things in the republican
platform to please those western re-
publicans and they are going to take
it off in the senate so you can go
before your people and say, "Well,
now we have done the best we could.
We passed it in the house and that
doggoned senate just simply ripped
it up
Taking up the question Of oriental
labor employed in the lumber mills,
Mr.. Kitchin insisted that despite the
contentious to the contrary Of Mr..
Humphreys of Washington, there were
more orientals employed in the lumber
industry in Washington state than in
British Columbia, and that the wages
in the latter country were about as
high as in Washington.

Washington, March 3O.-President
Taft again today stated to callers that
he did not consider the appointment

president thinks that judicial appoint
ments should be free from political
influences. He considers himself to
be competent to pass upon the fitness
of them for the bench and will do so.
At the same time he said he would
be glad to receive suggestions from
senators and representatives as to
their knowledge of the qualifications
Of applicants. The president has sew
eral federal judgeships to fill in the
near future and has received many
calls from senators and representatives
from the districts where the vacan-
cies exist.

REvERSES DECISION
OF COURT
TRIBUNAL OF APPEALS SETS
ASIDE VERDICT IN CARO-
LINE EDDY CASE.

Detroit, March 30.-Local attorneys
for Mrs. Caroline Eddy, the aged
widow of Charles X. Eddy, a pioneer
Mmberman of Michigan, received word
today that the United States court of
appeals at Cincinnati had reversed
the decision of Judge Swan of the
United States court, that she was not
entitled to more of her husbands es-
tate than the $500 annuity given her
in his will.
Under this will the widow, who is
past So years Of age. will receive
about 500. Mrs. Eddy brought the
suit against Walter s. Eddy Of Sagi-
nav, son of her husband by his first
wife and executor Of the will.
In rendering the decision the court
ignored an assignment of her pos
sible rights in the estate which the
widow gave to Walter S. Eddy soon
after her husbands death in 1901 at
Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Caroline Eddy
now lives with her son, Willis E.
Chapman, on a farm near Woodstock,
Iowa. After her husband died she
went to the home Of son in Trout
dale, Ore, near Portland, and after
several years there journeyed to Iowa,
where she has since lived.

ADVANCES NEW PLAN
REGARDING PHILIPPINES

Washington, March 30-Representa-
tive Mccall of Massachusetts, has in
troduced resolution requesting the
president to open negotiations with
the various nations of the globe look
ing to an agreement for the neutraliza-
tion of the Philippine islands and for
the recognition OF their independence
whenever it is granted by the United
States.
The preamble to the resolution sets
forth that the argument for not Civ
ing the islands their independence has
been that If the United States should
abandon them, some other nation
would take them. This danger. 1t is
set forth, can be removed by an agree
ment among the nations of Europe
and Asia whereby the Independence
OF the Philippines would be declared
and they would become neutral ter
ritory.

CONCENTRATES ARMY
ON HONDURAN
FRONTIER

Mexico City, March 30.-Guate-
mala has concentrated large
portion of her army on the Hon
duran frontier, according to pri-
vate telegraph advices. The Hon
duran minister to Guatemala de-
manded an explanation and was
told that President Cabrera desired
to check the exiled Honduran revo-
lutionists from crossing the border
and fomenting an uprising against
General Davila, president Of Hon
duras.
The situation in Central America
is regarded in Mexico City with
pessimism, in spite Of various de-
malls of hostile intentions. This
latest reported move on the part
of Cabrera is believed to have been
taken to checkmate Zelaya of
Nicaragua and President Davila,
who are said to contemplate a joint
attack on Guatemala.
