against the wall, his arms folded def

The kettledrum has been 50 far i'm
proved that 1t has pitch; in fact, 1t
contains the large range Of four notes.
1t is. as its name shows. copper ket-
tie, or basin. covered over with skin,
which can be frightened or loosened by
screws placed around the edge. Drums
Of this shape were used by the Rom
ans, and even earlier by the Greeks
and Etruscans. But they were not
known in western Europe before the
crusadess e.. n,........,.. .
Although it may appear 80, the ket-
tledrum is not at all an easy instru-
ment to manage, for In order to get
each of the four notes the player has
to turn all the screws and adjust the
parchment anew. For this reason ket-
tledrums are often used in pairs, one
tuned to the keynote. the other to the
fourth below. In this way the drum
mer has always the two chief notes In
the scale to work upon, and If the COM
poser has not exacted much from him
he will have quite an easy time. But
when a change of key is approaching
it is quite exciting to watch the drum
mer screwing and unscrewing the
the drum and lightly tapping to hear II
the pitch Is true, and II we recollect
that he often has to tune his drum
while the whole orchestra is lifting up
its voice we realize that he must be
no mean musician; that he must pos
sess an exquisitely sensitive and well
trained ear and steady hand and
nerve as well.-Jessie X. Macdonald

DEFENDANTS TESTIFY
MEN ACCUSED OF CARMACk's
MURDER ARE HEARD.
Robin Cooper was Cool and Careful
but John Sharp Got Very
Badly Ratified.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb 23.-Court ad
journed yesterday in the midst of the
cross.examination of John d. Sharp
co-defendant with Col. Duncan Cooper
and Robin Cooper. now on trial for
the Staying of ex-senator Edward w
Carmack.
Robin Cooper, under a bitter cross
examination OF nearly four hours, held
his own. He was always cool, care.
full, with an inclination to be fair.
The only other witness OF the day
was Sharp, who told his story under
direct examination. Then he was
turned over to Attorney General Gar.
ner, whose cross-examination is of
the rapid fire variety.
John Sharp is a man Of high TEN.
per and Garner soon had him beside
himself. He contradicted himself on
many minor details. but never on the
more important particulars.
Once he got on dangerous ground
On direct examination Sharp swOre
that he saw the killing and that Car
mack fell after Robin Cooper had
fired three times"
One of the bullet wounds, a neces
sarily fatal one, pierced the senator's
neck within one-slxteenth of an inch
Of the spinal cord and came out un
der the tongue. AS Sharp swore that
Carmack was facing young Cooper
aiming revolver at him, this wound
would be impossible to reconcile
with the statement. On cross-examin
alton Sharp said, however, that Car
mack turned his head just as the
second shot was fired. He did not ex
plain how the senator could turn his
head far enough to permit the ball tC
enter the median line of the neck OF
a straight liue.

QUESTION OF TAXATION
WILL BE FOREMOST IN LEelsLA
TuRE THIS WEEK.
Cow Harmon Desires Some Aetlof
Taken to Avert a Shortage In
the States Revenues.

Columbus, o., Feb. 23.-There Is ne
doubt but that the question of taxa
ton is to be foremost in the consid
Grafton of the general assembly this
week. The house and senate resumed
session yesterday afternoon, but un
dertook no business. To-day they
will get down to work and may take
up taxes. A hearing is scheduled he
fore the taxation committee on the
Woods bill creating a tax administra
tlon board and a public utilities com
mission.
When this bill, after its passage
had been recommended by the codes
committee, of which its author, Rep
resentative Frank W. Woods, of Me
dina county is chairman, was referred
to the taxation committee last week
its end was forecast, but members Of
the taxation committee said they
would give Mr.. Woods an open hear
ing. This was announced to take
place to-day, but may be interfered
with by the reception to be rendered
members of the legislature and theil
wives in the evening by Gov. and Mrs
Harmon. Four hundred invitations
have been issued for the affair.
Gov. Harmon conferred yesterday
with Senators GottsclHll, Alsdorf and
Huffman regarding taxation legisla
tion. It was announced afterwart
that the governor wishes some sort oi
a taxation measure put through be
cause of the threatened shortage II
state revenues. He is said to be o
the same opinion as when at the
opening of the legislative session hC
sent a message to the assembly urg
ing n state board to look after cor
poration taxes, instead of having thii
work done by a board composed o.
state officials. The governor thinks
that II the laws providing various cor
poration taxes we're more vigorously
enforced, the state would receiv,
more money than It is now getting.
II is said the governor will no
send in another message regarding
taxation. II has been reported sine,
Thursday, when the senate took aC
tion practically putting off until mex
session all proposed taxation reform
that the governor would again cal
the legislatures attention to what h,
considered the necessity for action
now. Last evening, however II wal
stated that the governor will defe
and probably may never send in tn,
proposed message. He wants to SCI
what attitude the assembly will taxi
before he again writes a message.

SECOND TRIAL OF
STANDARD OIL CO.
FOR ALLEGED REeATINe 5EeINs
BEFORE JUDGE AMBER.
SON IN CHICAGO.
THE GOVERNMENTS LAWYERS
viii Try to Convince the Judge and
Jury that Each Shipment on
Which a Rebate was Paid
Constitutes an Offense.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-The very life OF
trust curbing legislation is said by
government officials to be involved In
the re-trial of the governments In.
diotment of the Standard Oil Com.
pany of Indiana for alleged rebating,
which begins before Judge Anderson
In the United States district court
here to-day.
A Sequel to the $2e,24o,o0o Case.
This is the case in which Judge
Landis, holding that each car lot of
oil on which the Standard accepted
an alleged rebate constituted sep
arate offense, inflicted his historic
fine of S29,240.000. In reversing this
decision the court of appeals IN an
opinion written principally by Judge
Grosscup held that each car lot did
not form an individual offense.
From this decision the government
sought review at the hands of the su
preme cour,, but following precedent
this tribunal refused to- consider the
case. Accordingly the decision of the
appellate court took effect and the
case was remanded for a new trial
Judge lands, averring that his opin
ion as to the justice of his celebrated
fine had not changed, refused to pre-
side at a second trial, but Judge An
derson was persuaded to accept.
Prosecution Has New Plans.
The new hearing will differ from
the old in one respect only-the gov
ernment will not contend that eacf
car lot constituted a violation OF the
law The appellate courts decision
precludes this. The government lega
batteries will be trained in an en-
deavor to convince the Judge and jury
that each shipment--perhaps CA
lot, perhaps a train locd-was an of
fense. If successful in this line of ar
gument the judge may fine the de
fendant a maximum of $4,000, 900, oI
a minimum of 100000.
The defense on the other hand will
II is said, claim that the settlements
of freight charges constitute the al
legged offenses, or these the govern
ment alleges there were SO, on which
fines of from $4,000 to S72O,OOO ma!
be inflicted. Even the maximum fin
on this basis the government declares
would render the law ineffective, al
| the maximum figure would be trivia
compared with the supposed earning
OF the defendant company. A no les
vital question to which careful atten
tion will be given is what constI
tutes proof of rebating.
