The BILL PROGRESSES.

Washington. d. c., May 21.-Despite
frequent oratorical squalls, in which
senators called things by their proper
names," the tariff bill made some pro-
gress in the senate today. A number
of paragraphs were passed upon and
while in most instances it was under
stood that the senate might return to
them, it is the general opinion that
very little, if any. change will be
made.
The house rates were retained in the
polished plate glass paragraph, but
with the understanding that when the
bill is taken up in the senate proper
there probably will be alterations.
The republican "progressists" criti-
cised the house rate as too high, while
Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania con-
tended, that it was really inadequate.
The items considered ranged all the
way from mica to automobiles. Begin
ming with the earthenware schedule, a
number of committee recommendations
were adopted. These included a
marked increase on feldspar, made at
the instance of Mr.. Bradley, and a de
cided reduction on gypsum. There was
also a reduction on mica from the
Dingley rate.
Then came an interruption by Mr..
Culberson, who outlined the democratic
position on the tariff. He declared that
the real democrats were neither pro-
tectionists nor free traders, but advo-
Gates of a tariff for revenue only.

THE TARIFF DEBATE

Dun Reports Steady improvement OF
Business Conditions.

New York. May 21.-Dun tomorrow
will say:
almost every development except
the lengthening debate on the tariff
question is favorable, and the gains
made in spite of the tariff disturbance
are a fair indication of what may be
expected when that is out of the way.
The domestic agricultural conditions
are excellent and yet prices of farm
products continue to advance.
The reports of the railroads are
of steadily increasing business and the
latest earnings show a gain of 14.9 per
cent over last year. the decrease as
compared with 1907 being 1913 per cent.
In woolen goods the duplicate bust
ness of heavy weights has been fairly
satisfactory and a further improve
ment is anticipated. as clothiers now
know the general trend of demand. The
slight improvement in shoe conditions
still continues.
The Chicago hide market has ruled
considerably less active since the lib
eral buying last week, and country hides
are steady. California skins are

threatening gesture as he defied the
young attorney to make good his
charge.
c. w. Cobb. the law partner of
Heney, who was credited with the
payment of $4,000 by Rudolph Spreck-
els for services in the prosecution, was
the third witness of the day Heney's
purpose, evident from the questions
and replies. was to support his claims
that he had engaged in the work of
the prosecution without compensation
and at great personal sacrifice.
The inquiry had not proceeded far
when Alexander King. of Georgia, OBJ
jected on the ground that it served no
purpose save the laudation of the in
terrogator. The court permitted Heney
to continue, however and Cobb said he
knew that his associate had thrown
up his representation of the govern
ment in the HYDE Benson land fran
chises, and the Binegr- Hermann case.
and he had refused Roosevelt's offer
TO direct the prosecution of Senator
Borah. of Idaho. Cobb affirmed that
Heney lost his law practice since en-
tering upon his duties as a municipal
prosecutor.

ed to the loose ends of the prosecu-
TONS case.

Matters Which Promise an
Interesting Session.
SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS

Denver, May 21.-A quietus on Sun
day amusements and activities, the
abolition of divorce and the urgency
of religious education were the sub
jects that started the business of the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church with rush today. Two other
subjects which threaten to cause
much parliamentary conflict before
the end of the session, the report oG
the executive commission and the re-
port of the committee on administra-
tive agencies, also were brought be-
fore the assembly by DR.. ]. d. Mof-
fatt, a former moderator, and presi-
dent of Washington and jefferson COL
lege of Pittsburg and by the former
moderator, DR.. b. p. Fullerton of ST
Louis.
DR.. Moffatt predicted that this ses-
sion would see the adoption of plan
whereby the eight administrative
boards of the church in a large de-
gree would be consolidated. Commit
tee on administrative agencies of
which he is chairman, recommended
in effect that each board seek legal
advice as to its possible powers, that
by the exercise of the full authority
of each organization the administra-
tive powers of all will be centralized.
Moderator Barkley said he would
name the vice moderator tomorrow at
the opening session. 1t is believed the
committeeship will be completed by
that time.
This afternoons session was turned
over to a celebration Of the quadri-
centennial birth of John Calvin. The
speakers were the Rev. Henry Dosker,
of the Kentucky Theological seminary;
the Rev. William McKibbin, presi-
dent of Lane Theological seminary,
Cincinnati; Rev. S. ID. Scharff, Of ths
Western Theological seminary, Pitts
burg, and Rev. w. J. Darby, corre-
spending secretary of the educational
society, Evansville, Ind.
Among the many reunions tony
was a gathering of the Blue and the
Gray. During the afternoon the
woman's board. of foreign missions
heard addresses from a number of
missionaries.

His Witnesses Swear That the

THE STRIKE SETTLER

Chicago. May 21.-"Persecution of
union labor" by the Chicago EN-
ployers' Association, was charged to-
day by the defense in the trial of
Martin B. Madden, president of the
Associated Building Trades, and his
associates, F. A. Puchet, and NJ. j.
Boyle. The unionists are charged
with conspiracy by accepting graft
money in settling fake strikes.
Madden's lawyers declared that the
strikes concerning which the state in
troduced testimony tending to, show
the payment of money, were legiti-
mate. They declared that $1,000 was
not received by Madden in settlement
of The strike on the Joseph Klicka
plant. Judge McSurley overruled the
motions made by the defense to take
the case from the jury.
Attorney Brady, in speaking for the
defendants, said: There is an en-
ployers' association hostile to the
unions and to the Associated Building
Trades. This association and some
contractors are backing this prosecu-
ton. I'VE will prove that this Klicka
strike was as legitimate as any strike
ever called, in its inception. its pro-
motion, its conclusion and its settle
ment"
Charles NJ. Rau, business agent OF

the Gazette. which has lately been dis
covered to be "all in wheat"
From a somewhat hurried perusal of
the Gazette last night on the subject
of circulation. it appears that the man.
agement of that paper yesterday over
looked the following from The Repub-
lican of yesterday:
The Republican is the only news
paper in Arizona that makes public its
proven circulation as certified to by
the Association of American Advertis-
ers, the only competent authority on the
authenticity of newspaper circuIations
in the United State. In its examina-
tion of The Republican on March 18,
last, the Association gave this paper a
daily average circulation for the four
teen months prior to February 10, 1909,
of 6434. This exceeds by fully 1000
copies the combined average circula-
tion of all other Phoenix papers and
is the largest in the territory of Ari-
zona by at least $500 copies. The Re-
publican's marvellous advertising pat
ronaee is "proof of the pudding"

brought out many prominent business
men from the financial districts The

Church of the Messiah, at 10 am,

effect upon business.
