THE PROGRAM OF HASTE
Met by Stubborn Obstacles in Senate Western Mem bers Find They Had Been Fooled by the Eastern Leather Senators.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Beginning it's consideration of the conference report on the tariff bill by the tedious read 1 ing of the document, which was in sisted upon by the senators who pro- posed to see that undue haste is not l exercised in the final passage of the measure, the senate dragged along nearly seven hours today without ac- complaining any important results. Numerous conferences were held on both sides of the chamber.
 Developments in respect to the framing of the leather schedule in conference, called forth more interest than did the proceedings of the day. Senators discussed the language and effect of the schedule. The debate was opened by Senator Daniel who declared that the democratic senators on the finance committee had been dealt with unfairly in not being per mitted to vote on the adoption of the report. He claimed that an agree ment for that purpose, entered into by Chairman Aldrich, had been vio- lated. Any intentional violation was disavowed by MT. Aldrich, who said he could not agree with Mir. Daniel as to what had occurred between them.
 MT. Bristow denounced the tariff bill as a violation of republican pledges and announced that he would not vote for it. In order to fix the responsibility of the two parties in the passage of the bill, and for framing its several schedules, Mir. Bacon pre- sented an analysis Of the seventeen aye and nay votes that had been taken during it's consideration. This list of votes the senate agreed to print in the Record.
 Regarding the exclusion of the dem ocratic members from the conference Mir. Daniel said a peculiar fraud had been committed in both houses of congress. This country stands at this moment between the gallows and the grave" declared MT Daniel in commenting on the methods of the majority. T hope that mercy may be sought and may be found I charge that the senate is apparently under the control of lynch law" Mir. Dan iel also charged bad faith in the ac- tion of the committee in signing the conference report without allowing himself and his colleagues on the committee to meet them and to vote upon it as agreed to by NIT. Aldrich.
 Referring to the influence exerted by the president in lowering tariff duties, Mir. Bailey said: "I think | can make it manifest that the people of the United States have been entertained with some mock he roes."
 MT. Bristow declared that President Taft in Kansas had favored a revi- sion of the tariff downward and that he. Bristow. had been elected to the senate on that issue. Tt was then said the cost of production had been reduced and that the rate of duty should be reduced proportionately, he explained, "and I have endeavored to keep that pledge"
 The fact was, he said, that prac- tically no reduction had been ob- tained. "The tax" said MT. Bristow, has been taken off of hides and it has been added to the sole leather suit case that the American citizen buys. And yet it has been advertised that reduction has been made on the leather schedule for the benefit of the American citizens"

LESS FOR TT AT KIINEs
 
TAXING OYSTER GROUNDS
Hearing on Bill to Appoint an InVesti.
 gating Committee to Report Later.

Hartford, March 23.-The committee on shell fisheries gave a hearing yes terday on the recommendations of Gov ernor Lilley and ex-Governor Woodruff concerning the investigation of the taxation of oyster grounds, and if the oyster planters who appeared wanted to convince the committee by their logical discussion of the subject that nothing should be done, their argu- recommendation was not that the oyster grounds should necessarily be taxed, but that a commission should be appointed to investigate the matter.
 Several oystermen appeared to ex- plain that the valuation of oyster grounds was so uncertain and f1uctuat- ing that a just taxation could not be arrived at. The committee asked if the value of any grounds did not de- pend on the crop raised upon it. The growers replied that while a ground on which no crop could be raised was worthless, a ground on which a good crop could he raised was of doubtful value, the value of the crop partly de- ciding the value of the ground, but not entering into the amountof valua- tion itself.
 Conditions in Connecticut, they said. are different from those in Rhode Island where rhe grounds are taxed. This is largely a breeding state where the oysters are more for seed than for consumption. The changes of con ditionS. tides, deposits. etc., constantly alter the value of lands, which can only be guessed at anyhow. When the committee asked if any investigat- of well qualified men instead of a chance selection, the oyStermen said that no one except an Oysterman could satisfactorily handle the matter.

POURED ACID
 DOWN BOUND
 WOMAN'S THROAT Wife of Russell CuIbertsoa Murdered Near Her Home at Vincennes, Indiana. Former Sweetheart of husband Suspect.
 ed of Crime. - Dead Woman Bride Oaly Three Months Had Nnrsed Her Husband Through Dangerous Illness-Letters Breath ing Hate of Mrs. CuIbertsen.

Especial from United Press.)
 Vincennes, Ind, March 25.-A young divorced woman, a former sweetheart of Russell Culbertson, is the chief ob- ject of police suspicion in connection with the murder of CuIbertson's bride who died here today.
 Mrs. Jessie Lee Cu1bertson. aged 25, was found late yesterday afternoon in shed behind the house of Joshua Brazleton where the CulbertSons lived bound, gagged and burned about the face with carbolfc acid. The acid had evidently been poured down her throat and was the cause of her death. She regained consciousness long enough to tell that she had been dragged from an outbuilding nearby by a man and a woman who poured the acid down her throat. The principal clue to the murder lies in letters mysteriously de Hvered at the BrazletOn home within the last week. Today these letters were turned over to the police They breathe the hatred and vengeance of defeated rival in love.
 Mrs Culbertson was married only three months ago after sick room romance, during which CuIbertsOn was nursed by the beautiful woman he married. Here is one of the letters The others are in the same language:
 Mrs. Russell CuIbertson: You think I have not been busy but you are mis- taken. I wrote to your home in Texas to find out what could about you. Everyone lad a good word for you. That's why Russell cares for you and not me. You have been true. I know have not, and so does he. That is why I hate you so.
 q saw you go out tonight-was near you I tell you again to be on your guard. He shall suffer as l have suffered through you. Do you hear?s My time vii come. Oh, how I hate you,
 You thought did not mean wnat I said; wait and see. I see you every day and shall till I meet you. Oh, give up Russ. He has not been true to you. This is not my last warning. will will kill you if I can and then I will get Russ! Ha, Ha, I will. He will then be mine. Beware!''

THREE FIRES WITH
 VERY LITTLE DAMAGE

A blaze in some rubbish at the rear of Gilman'S cigar store, 1O38 Main street caused an alarm of fire to be turned in last night at S:15 from box 32 at Main street and Fairfield avenue. Chemicals extinguished the flames. The damage was slight and the store was able to continue doing business after the smoke cleared away.
 Shortly before o'clock last evening the fire department was called to Com mercial street to extinguish a fire on the roof of the barn occupied by Still man Pike, the junk dealer. The blaze was quickly eXtinguished. It was caused by sparks from bon fire in the same yard.
 A red hot tin chimney connected with the sausage smoke house of the Hammond Beef Co. in Middle street set fire to the roof timbers of the building shortly after g o'clock this morning. Chemical Go. No. 1 responded to a telephone call and extinguished the fire. It is the second time the depart ment has been called to the building because of the same trouble. Chief Money requested the manager of the company to see that the hole in the woodwork of the roof be made twice the circumference of the tin chimney.
