Washington, May 14.-Asking that
an interview with ]. ]. Hill be read
to the senate after that body conven-
ed today, Senator Scott endorsed its
advice congress that oratory be
|suspendeJ and that congress prompt
lily pass the tariff bill This" said
Scott, sis in line with letters I'm re-
ceiving, begging and praying that
these gentlemen (waving his hand ov-
er the senate chamber) get through
with their wind-jamming and let the
lcountry go ahead with its business
Contending tAat the government
has lost s1s4, 100000 in the last eight
years. through the repeal of the war
time tax in 1898, Senator Beveridge
undertook by amendment to increase
the present rate of international tax
on tobacco, snuff. cigarettes and CT
gars worth more than ten cents.
Beveridge declared that the trust
which he said was the American To-
bacco company. derived great bere
fit from the loss of revenue which
was due to the lsw repeating the in
creased rates. He declared that the
manufacturers still collect war time
tax from the people, but instead OF
lpaying it to the government, thew
keep it. He asserted that it would
not hurt the cigarmakers of the coun-
try because it would not affect ci-
gars except those over 10 cents. He
claimed his amendment will Increase
the revenues $21,OOOO0O annually.
whereas now the tobacco trust is
reaping the harvest. He declared
that the manufacturer has decreased
the size of cut plug tobacco, thus
making the consumer pay a war time
tax.
An extended discussion took place
on the amendment offered by Cum
minis, reducing the duty on round
iron from 6-10 to 5-10 of one cent
pound and on iron slabs, etc., from
4-lO to 3-10 of one cent pound. AID
rich objected that these duties were
lower than the current duties in the
Dingley bill. Oliver said that these
products were made by independent
concerns. Cummins insisted that the
iron and steel industries need no pro-
lection.

pany K. 23rd infantry on February l.

cIuded at o'clock yesterday after
noon. The defense offered no evi-
dence except the testimony Of the de-
fendant, Messick, and the defendant,
Wernz, both of whom denied that
they ever had in their possession the
rifles identified as belonging to the
soldiers, and also denied the purport-
ed confessions which Santa Fe Spe-

After his departure, the witness and
his sister-in-law talked about the
matter and they went into the room
of Mcnamara and on looking in a

ara's room. He said he took the gun
home with him to his own house and
kept it for three weeks, when he loan
cd it to friend named S. F. Callag-

LAKE SUPERIOR
Believed Now That Four
teen Men on the Steamer
Adella Shores Have Been
Drowned.
BY Associated Press.

Cleveland, o., May Sit is believed
here that the fourteen members OF
the crew of the steamer Adele Shores
have persisted and that the boat lies
at the bottom of Lake Superior of
White Fish point. The Shores, which
is owned by the Manx Transportation
Co. of Cleveland, passed the 500 up
bound, last Thursday. Since then
nothing has been heard from her by
the owners except the information
conveyed in the news dispatches re-
porting the finding of wreckage iden-
titled as being a part of the vessel
The boat was in charge of Captain
Solver Holmes, of Milwaukee. The
identity of the crew is unknown here
The Shores was a wooden vessel of
734 tons and was built in 1894.
