Senate Makes Rate on b.
luminous 60 Gents a Ton.
SEVEN CENTS BELOW HOUSE.
Aldrich Maintains Duty of $1.50
Per Thousand on Sawed Lum-
ber Despite Break In Re-
publican Party Lines.

Washington. June 24.-ln the course
Of the scnate's work on the tariff bill
the finance committee, through Mr..
Aldrch, reported an amendment fixing
the duty ON bituminous coal and shale
Mt 90 cents per ton. on coal slack or
culm at 10 cents per ton and on coke
and compositions used for fuel Mt 20 per
cent ad valorem. A drawback equal to
the duty is allowed vessels in the for
eign trade.
This scale. Mr.. Aldrich explained,
was a reduction of cents a ton on
coal under the house rate. The amend
ment, he said, also left out the house
reciprocity provision.
Senator McCumber, declaring that
he was in favor of free coal, offered
an amendment reducing the rate of
duty reported by the committee on
finance to 40 cents ton. The amend
ment was voted down, % to "A, where
upon the committees amendment was
accepted without change and without
division.

up. and Senator McCumber. who has
been n persistent advocate of free
lumber. presented an amendment re-
ducing the finance committees rate of
$1.jO per thousand on sawed lumber
to the house rate of 81 per thousand
This was generally recognized as a
test proposition. as sawed lumber has
been the bone of contention from the
beginning.
The result was against Senator Nc
Cumbcr and was another triumph for
the Aldrich rates. the vote standing "a
in favor of and Al against the reduced
rate Party lines were completely OBJ
/ liberated on this vote.
The sailing was not so smooth when
: it came to pincapples. The house had
fixed duty of s cents per cubic foot
on pineapplcs in barrels and Of SS per
/ thousand. but the senate committee on
/ finance reduced this rate to Z cents
and 81 respectively, thus restoring the
provisions of the Dingley law.
! Mr.. Taliaferro presented an amend
ment restoring the house rate of $S
per thousand, but changing the other
portions of the provision so as to re-
quire the payment of half cent a
pound for pincapples in bulk.
Senator Taliaferro's amendment was
adopted by vote of "a to 80 This was

it was noticeable that several of the
members voted for the increase and
that none of them spoke in opposition

Mrs. GOuld Thought of Co.
ing on Stage With Him.
MRS. SELLS DEFENDS HER FRIEND
Saws Millionaire's Wife Was Never
Drunk In Her Presence or Used
Profane or Abusive
Language.


Nicoll, counsel for Howard Gould.
scored another point at the trial of
Mrs. Gould's suit for n separation and
S2J0000 alimony now in progress be-
fore Justice Dowling in the supreme
court.
1t was during the cross examination
of Mrs. Mabel +. Sells, wife Of Mrs.
Gould's favorite cousin, Elijah Sells.
The lawyer asked Mrs. Sells many
questions about the actor, Dustin Far
mum. She finally admitted that Mrs.
Gould told her that if she ever went
back to the stage she would like to be
associated with Farnum.
The inference that Mrs. Gould might
again take up the professional stage as
a career created Il lively interest on
the part of those in court.
Mrs. Sells volunteered the informa-
tion that 'if Mrs. Gould went back on
the stage" she would like to be asso-
ciated with Dustin Farnum, whose
name has been frequently mentioned
during the trial.
1t was Mr.. Nicoll who brought out
this interesting bit of information.
After Mrs. Sells had said she talked
Every freely" with Mrs. Gould about
the actor Mr.. Nicoll asked:
Didn't she say he was a handsome
MANI
"Well, we hardly discussed that"
said Mrs. Sells.
Did she say he was good actorT'
"YcS: she did say that there was
quite future before him. She also
said that if she ever went back on the
stage she would like to be associated
with him."
"Well. she was thinking of going
back on the stage. them" queried Mr..
Nicoll.
"Yes."
Did she say that she intended to
have Farnum as her leading MANI"
asked Justice bowling.
NO" was the reply. 'She said that
If she went back on the stage she
would like to have Mr.. Farnum asso-
ciated with her"
Mrs. Sells testified that she had
known Mrs. Gould for many years be-
fore and after her marriage to Howard
Gould. Her association after Mrs.
Gould's marriage was very intimate
She said she saw Mrs. Gould on many
occasions before the trip to Egypt. but
never saw her intoxicated nor heard
her use prOfane or abusive language.
At dinner, Mrs. Sells said. Mrs.
Gould never took more than one cock
tail.
On cross examination Mr.. Nicoll read
the deposition of Elijah Sells to re-
freshen the memory of Mrs. Sells. The
deposition said that Mrs. Gould drank
champagne before going to bed and
that she preferred it to "whoesome
Scotch" The witness admitted that
this was true.
Annie Conlon, who was Mrs. Gould's
maid, had nothing but praise for her
mistress. She never saw a case of
whisky at the Blue Gap farm.
The alleged attempt to drug Mrs
Gould at the Blue Gap farm was
brought out again by Mr.. Shearn. The
maid said Mrs. Gould while at the
dinner table suddenly fell from her
chair to the floor.
II never saw any one look as Mrs
Gould looked then" testified the maid
''Her face was discolored, and she was
moaning on the floor. She lay there
for two hours.''
The maid admitted that she had seen
Mr.. Farnum with Mrs. Gould at the
Raleigh hotel in October, 1906.
at was one night after IL o'clock"

Searchers Say They Can Find None
Still Entombed.

Wehrum. Pa, June 24.-By the ex-
plosion of gas in mine No. 4 of the
Lackawanna Coal and Coke company
seventeen miners Were killed and six
teen injured. Twelve of the injured
will probably recover.
Superintendent \. NJ. Johnson states
that. while the mine has always been
regarded as nongaseous, the explosion
was due to the ignition of a pocket Of
gas byIhe open lamp of miner.
The mine has been so free from
gas for the past six years" said the
superintendent. that the state inspect
ors have permitted the use of open
lamps. With seventeen dead and six
teen injured | am of the opinion that
every one has been accounted for who
entered the mine. The scarchers say
there are none still entombed."
The first man to reach the surface
was 4. l.. Johnson. son of the supcrln-
tendent. He had been I'm lower head
ing. There were burns on his arms,
body and neck. and he had inhaled
flames.
Following the superintendent son
came two Italians. their faces burned
to u crisp.
Oxygen sent by the Cambria Steel
works aided the searchers. and with
safety helmets fourth rescue party
succeeded in bringing twelve bodies to
the surface. Later five more bodies
were recovered. The men were found
huddled together in the lower left
heading, where they had died in an
evident effort to reach the main shaft.
