were mitigating circumstances con-
nected with the case, the complain

the reason he imposed such a small

GEN. WASHINGTON RESUMES
HIS ARGUMENT FOR
THE DEFENSE
Frenzy of Oratory He Denouce the Carmack Editorial in Which
Colonel Coopes Name Linked With DSreputabes-1e Also
Declares That Coopers Had Not Been Armed, They
Would Be in Their Graves Today

Nashville. March 1.-THE attend
nnce today al the opening OF the
Cooper Sharpe murder trial, showed
q decrease. and when General Wash
ington resumed his argument Tor inc
defense, there were many vacant
seats Mrs Lucas Burch, Robin Coop
er's sister. who collapsed yesterday,
was In court today pale and wan,
but bravely attempting to cheer ana
encourage her brother, Mrs Carmack
did not appear, and 1t was stated that
she was too i'll TO leave her room
Working himself into frenzy OF
oratory, General Washington devoted
nearly an hour to the wild denuncia.
tIon of the Carmack editorial OF Oc-
tober 81.
This editorial calls attention TO a
statement in the American from Rip
ley. which said that Patterson men
We're advocating trading Bryan Tor
Patterson votes Then the editorial
called the attention of the honorable
Ban Murray, the Honorable Dune Coop
er. the Honorable Max Hartman and
the Honorable Sol Cohen to this re-
port
Washington vigorously explained
that two of the two honorables named
were disreputables. and that when
Carmack associated Col Cooper's
name with theirs, he committed the
gravest offense a man could commit,
and affronted and insulted Cooper be-
yond endurance.
But the state SAYS no editorial ever
written justlfies killing man. we
agree that this is true. But we are
only trying to show how they aroused
Col Cooper's anger and to explain
his mental condition.
THE state says that this is only
a ridiculIng editorial Well, what OF
it, You can drive man insane with
ridicule, You can send mans son
into a frenzy by ridicule. and ridicule
is libelous and punishable with i'm
prisonment"
General Washington asked the Jur-
ors If they had ever seen a bull
fight. None lntimated that he had
so the speaker described one He
compared Col. Cooper With the bull
and declared that Car ks editor
1als were the banderlllos which mad
dened the bull into charge.
Well, Carmack wrote The Diplo-
mat of the Zwelbund' and he thus de-
clared open war. He did 1t to declare
open war and to compel Col. Cooper
either to let him alone or to approach
him on the street. He knew that
with those crumpled fingers, Col Coop
er could not pull trigger He knew
he WAS safe.
Col. Cooper saw that Carmack was
in an ugly mood. So he armed him
self, and if he had not done so, he
would be In his grave today"
Washington saw the error here-the
defense contention being that Colonel
Cooper never even drew his gun un
TIL the shooting was oyer-so he said:
"If Robin Cooper had not armed him
self, they would be both dead today"

INTERES 7
IN PAYNE
BILL
Newspaper Men and
Others Anxious About
the Tariff Measure

Washington, March 11.-With the
be introduced on the first day of the
special session. newspaper correspon-
dents, ANXIOUS to learn what has
been done with schedules affecting the
section In which their papers circu-
late. and manufacturers and others,
who have interests that will be affect
cd by the new measure, gather daily
at the ways and means committee
room In an effort TO learn something
regarding the new bill. No legisla-
tive measure has been SO carefully
guarded as the document now being
framed.
The proposition that has given the
committee the most concern, and
which has been the most difficult to
determine, Is the plan to tax coffee.
Some Republican memberk declare
that the taxing of the breakfast table
would make II impossible for the Re
publicans TO carry their district at
the next election. The National COZ
fee & Tea association wrote to the
committee that tax on coffee or tea
would be unjust TO consumers, detri-
mental to trade, irritating to the
masses and finally would fail to pro-
duce any material revenue to the gov
ernment for nearly two years to come.
"A duty OF five cents upon coffee
would mean an immediate profit OF at
least Sc so per bag upon every bag in
the United States TO owners thereof"
is the claim made in brief. There
being nearly 100000 bags at present
held here by individuals. corporations
and Wall street speculative interests.
such duty would mean a profit OF
s26, 1000, 900 to the owners and holders
thereof, but IL would not mean one
dollar paid into the United States
treasury"
Paper and pulp manufacturers have
expressed joint alarm over the report
that the committee would include IN
the bill the changes In the pulp paper
schedule. recommended In the report
of the Mann committee, which inves'
tigates the pulp and paper questions.
The American Paper &: Pulp associa,
ton. through It's president, Arthur
c. Hastings, has submitted lengthy
brief. urging certain changes in the
recommendations made by the select
committee. I'VE cannot too emphat-
ically state that the recommendation
of the select committee will fill us
with alarm" says Mr.. Hastings. and
we believe IL adopted, 1t would In
evitably be injurious to our industry,

consumer

ducers' association. claiming TO en-

There also are several cases against
the Standard OIL company now pend
Ing in the western district of New
York, and 1t Is believed that these
cases Will be prosecuted as promptly

Consideration already has been CIV
en- by government counsel to the case
OF the United States against the
Standard OIL company which shortly
Is TO come TO trial at Jackson. Tenn
The indictment in that case con-

being that the Standard shipped from

made by the railroads.
The decision OF the circuit court at
Chicago is not binding as a matter of
law on the Tennessee Judge who may
try the case, as he is not in the same
circuit, but 1t is considered likely
that he may follow the Chicago court
so far as the two cases have similar
