FIGHT OF SENATOR'S
FOR LOWER TARIFFS
Finance Committee Agrees to
Reductions on White Lead
and Cotton Seed Oil
La Toilette Fails to Secure Con-
cession for Bark Used in
Tanning

WASHINGTON. May 20.-The senate
today distributed its attention among
the three items in the tariff bill pro-
viding duty on an extract of chestnut
bark used in tanning, known as que
brache, on cotton seed oil and on white
lead. On each of these articles the SEN
ate was led by the committee on
finance, although the committee was
induced to change its original sugges-
tons on white lead and cotton seed OIL
The lead duty fixed by the commit
tee was originally 2% cents per pound
but Curtis, a member of the commit.
tee, suggested a reduction of u cent a
pound, bringing the figure down to pa
cents and Chairman Aldrich accepted
the reduction.
When the vote was taken the COM
mittee triumphed, the Curtis proposal
carrying Al to 50. AS usual Beveridge,
Bristow. Brown. Burkett Clapp, Cum
minis, Dolliver, Gamble La Toilette and
Nelson voted with the democrats. Be-
rah voted with the republicans.
Probably the most interesting con-
test was over the duty on cotton seed
oil. Tillman, Bacon and Money fought
the senate provision fixing tariff of 8
cents gallon. on the ground that it
would injure the sale of cotton seed,
and after the controversy had gone on
for some time Aldrich withdrew the
provision.
La Toilette sought to reduce the duty
on quebrache to one-quarter of one cent
pound, but his amendment was re-
Jected, 20 to 3S. Daniel led the fight
for higher rate, exciting much inter
est, because of his advocacy of low
duties in the past. The committee had
reached the house rate and the Virginia
senator, in whose state are several que
brache factories, sought to have that
figure restored. He did not succeed
and the duty was fixed at half cent
pound, instead of e of cent, as he
proposed.

RULING DEFINES A
MINERAL DISCOVERY
Decision Against Government
Rendered by Helena Registrar
of U. S. Land Office

HELENA, May 20-The registrar and
receiver of the United States land Of
fee here rendered a decision today re-
speeding mineral claims in forest re-
serves. which-if affirmed by the de-
partment at Washington-will do much
to remove causes of complaint which
have, in the past, been lodged against
the administration of those reserves
in western states.
In the case of the United States
against Garneau and Hickey, prospect
ors in the Helena reserve. who had
located several quartz claims therein,
charges were brought against each To-
cation, alleging mo discovery of min
erals
The opinion says:
The only question to be considered
here is as to whether a discovery has
been made and the forest service Min
ing expert contends that there has
not been because the values obtained
by him did not meet his idea of values
that should be disclosed in discovery.
According to this idea, the expert
would have the discovery of mineral
in paying quantities at the very out
set of the location. Such a contention
could not be sustained for a moment,
because, il such We're the case pros
pector would be absolutely precluded
from making a location of a mining
claim in the first instance. as paying
mines. generally, are not disclosed on
the surface and are only made by ex-
ploration and development"
The decision was in favor of the
prospectors. The government will APP
peal to the general land office.

call attention TO the fact that 500 TO

lures where sanitary arrangements
are of the most primitive and the con-
ditions of the buildings a constant
menace to health.
The club also declared its intention
of not permitting the park commits

journment of the session of 1908, the

the question to that body whenever an
opportunity was offered
The members of the progresista, or
minority party asked permission to
abstain from voting, which was
granted. All the nationalists then vot-
ed in favor of the resolution.

HIGHER UPSTRY
IN Wild ALARM
TO GAG HELMS
Minions of Defense Vainly Seek
to Prevent His Return to
the City
William II. Nelson, Frank MUIR
ply and Assemblyman Nc
CIellan Are Used

Like some weird tale of mountain
brigandage is the story of the attempt
to keep John Helms from coming to
San Francisco from his home amid
the rugged country in Trinity county
to give his testimony against Patrick
Calhoun. Helms has a ranch at Ruth,
in the Trinity hills. The spot can be
reached by a stage ride of $50 miles
from Willis, the terminus of the Cali
fornia Northwestern Pacific railroad, or
by so mile ride from Eureka, which
has only boat connection with San
Francisco.
1t was into this section of the state
that three representatives of the prose-
cution went in search of Helms. The
men were Charles Golf, William Otis
and J. II. Lawrenson. They found
Helms at his ranch, where he conducts
hotel. In the words of Helms him.
self the hotel consists of "12 rooms and
a grub house"
DEFENSE BECOMES ACTIVE
After Helms had been located by
the prosecution the defense became ex-
ceedingly active 1t was in the early
part of this month that the effort to
keep him from returning was made.
Helms received a visit one day about
May l from Winfield S. Lamb. a cattle
man of Humboldt county, and from
John Mcclellan, the state assemblyman
from the same section. Lamb spent
some time in conversation with Helms
and finally persuaded him to drive
away from the hotel for a short dis
lance Lamb thereupon announced that
he bore an important message. He
stated that he had been sent by At
torney FL. A. Monroe Of Eureka and had
been requested TO tell Helms to stand
pat and the United Railroads would
look out for him.
While Attorney Monroe was directing
affairs in Eureka he was cooperating
with Attorney Hugh ONeil of San
Francisco. O'Neirs brother, John, had
gone into Trinity county to be on the
scene.
ORDERED TO SEE METSON
Even after Helms left his Trinity
county home and was on his way to
San francisco the efforts to ward off
his testimony were renewed. While on
the train Helms received a telegram
from Edgar Zook, a young attorney
in the Office of William H. Nelson.
asking Helms TO report TO NELSON 5
office Immediately upon his arrival
here.
Others. IL appears, were even more
anxious and met the train at San Ra-
afel Frank Murphy, the attorney who
was tried for jury bribing, met Helms
on the other side of the bay and spoke
to him on the train. Murphy then
crossed the bay on the same ferry
boat with Helms and opened CONVEX
sation. Murphy was in a nervous
mood and yentured the hope that
Helms meant to do him no harm.
That there was a positive attempt
to pay Helms a sum of money not to
come to San Francisco is known to the
prosecution. The full facts have not
yet been revealed, but may form part
of the testimony to be given today.
