Government Desires Indictment
 of Haskell and Others
WILL BE ARRAGNEO TODAY
Motion To Ouash Makes Some Start ling Allegations Against Special Assistant Attorney General Syl-
 vester Rush of Omaha.

Muskogee, Okla, March H-startling allegations are contained in motions to quash the indictments against Gov. Charles N. Haskell and other prominent Oklahomans, charged by the government with conspiracy in connection with Mus kogee town site scheduling, filed tonight on behalf of the defendants and served on Assistant United States District Attor- ney Gregory. The motion charges mis- conduct on the part of Special Assistant Attorney General Sylvester Rush of Om- cha, who conducted the grand jury exam nations. It is alleged that government secret service operatives gave hearsay testimony before the grand jury; that important testimony was suppressed; that the government denied the jury's request for certain testimony that witnesses were coerced and held in subjection and that Rush told the jury that indictments should be returned because the govern ment wanted them returned.
 It is further charged that witnesses, instead of being permitted to testify free ly. were confronted with previously pre- pared statements, purporting to contain their testimony and forced to say the statements were correct and that an im- piled threat was made by Mir. Rush when a juror attempted to question a wit ness.
 The United States circuit court has been asked to assign a judge to try the case in place of Judge R. F. Campbell of this district who has declined to preside
 The indicted men left tonight. for yi- nita, where their arraignment is sched- uled for tomorrow.

 ID CHURCH ON FOOT Make Six Miles from Home and Back HE PREPARES FOR TRIP Will Begin Final Preparations for Jour ney To Africa Today-This Will
 Be Busy Week for the Late
 President.
HE PREPARES FOR TRIP

Oyster Bay, March 14.-Former Pres ident and Mrs. Roosevelt walked today from Sagamore Hill to Christ Episco- pal church for the morning service, and afterward returned home on foot, GOV ering in all six miles. Several callers were received by MT. Roosevelt during the afternoon
 The former chief executive tomorrow will enter upon the final work of prep aration of the Roosevelt- t-Smithsonian African expedition. It will be a busy week. Farewells to numerous friends and relatives are to be said and a visit to Hoboken is in contemplation to in- spect the party's quarters aboard the steamer and see that the outfit of the expedition is safely slowed away where it can be quickly trans-shipped at Naples.
 One day of the week will be de- voted to family reunion. In addition MT. Roosevelt will spend some time each day in outdoor exercise, and hopes also to have a chance early in the week to try out the rifles he will use during the hunt on the target range near his home. His duties as a mag azine editor will take him to New York several times during the week. It is expected also that during the week the Smith sonian members of the expedition will come to Oyster Bay for final conference with MT. Roosevelt.
 The rifles of MT Roosevelt and his son will receive more care than any thing else in their equipment. These are inclosed in special cases. made com pletely watertight. The photographic kit of the expedition, of which Kermit Roosevelt has charge, Is a model of it's kind. The young man feels that the photographs he Is to make are to be of great importance as the specimens of animals his father will shoo for the National museum. The steamer Ham, burg, on which the members of the ex- petition will make the first leg of their trip, will reach Hoboken toward the latter part of the week.

Trial of the COOpeIs Is Near-
 ing An Ind
DEFINITION OF OVERT ACT
Judge Hart's Opinion oh This Feature Is Matter of Important Speculation. Judge Anderson. Seems Conf
 dent of Acquittal.

Nashville. March 14--Judge W M Hart and two stenographers were at work all day today upon the courts instructions to the jury in the trial of Col Duncan B. and Robin Cooper, and John D. Sharp for the murder of former United States Senator E. w. Carmack Late tonight the task was still incomplete, and Judge Hart did not hope to nave 1t finished be- fore Monday afternoon. Unllke most of Judge Hart's charges, and because of the many perplexing issues raised this charge will be very long one. The state sub 1nittcd it's requests last night, but inti- r ated that further suggestions would be made Monday At noon today the de- fer se's last requested instructions reached Judge Hart's hands
 C,l siderable interest and not a little anxiety is expressed by both sides as to Judge Harts definition of an overt act. The state contends that Colonel Cooper, wltcn he turned around and sought Car mack that November afternoon commit- ted an overt act, which, taken in connec- tlon with the transmitted threats, would have justified Carmack in killing Colonel Cooper on sight. Early in the case Judge Hart apparently took the same view, but Judge Anderson of the defense hotly com ba;tcj this contention and quoted volum- inoGs decisions to the contrary. It Is significant that Judge Hart asked for me oIanda of these decisions.
 Tie other instructions upon which a cerdict may hinge concern the law of self toI nf GO0nara mental condition of the dead senator, the effect of threats and the credibility of witnesses
 J..dge Anderson said tonight: we will get verdict of acquittal within 90 min utes after the jury is charged"
 l. is generally believed that a delay on the part of the jury in reporting will be taken as an unfavorable omen for the defense

BILL REPRESENTS
 MUCH HARD WORK Payne Tariff Measure Covers
 Broad Field
  HAS NUMEROUS CHANGES Ambiguity of Various Paragraphs in DlnsIey Bill Are Cleared up. Work Represents Great De-
 tail of Labor.
 
HAS NUMEROUS CHANGES

Washington, March 14-One of the most important features of the Payne tariff bill is the numerous changes in phraseol- ogy of the present bill which it contains.
 They have been made with view to clearing up any ambiguity which exists In the various paragraphs of the Dingley bill and to make the new measure con- form with the decisions of the courts and the board of appraisers.
 Maj. H. M. Lord United States army who has been detailed with the commit tee on ways and means in charge of information during the present revision, was clerk of the committee during the Dingley revision. Speaking of the work performed by the committee and it's ex- perts in the preparation of the Payne bill, Major Lord said today that the most persistent argument advanced in favor of the creation of a tariff com mission was that the congressional com mittee having the tariff legislation in charge had not the time or means to se- cure the information necessary to prop erly draft revenue bill. He said that the work of gathering information began months Tn auVance or the adoption or the resolution by the House last May, au- thorlZing the expenditure necessary for the work preliminary to the framing of the tariff bill.
 "One exceedingly important feature of the work was the consideration of the court decisions that have affected the revenue" said Major Lord, "and the recommenda- ton of phraseology that would meet these decisions.
 Another branch of the work consist ed of collecting information relative to the various concrete articles treated of in the tariff. At the request of the com mittee the state department sent out a consular letter to it's representatives in foreign countries. calling for reports of industrial conditions. This information was gathered preliminary to the public hearings, which began on November 10 and continued until December 22 Special February. In addition to the hearings about 30, 600 communications and petitions relative to the tariff revision were re- ceived by the committee.
 ''The bill this committee reports will not only be the result of the honest ef fort of the leading tariff experts of this country, but will represent more labor and detail than entered into the prepara- ton of all other tariff measures com bined"

HUMAN C. MANN
 ANGRY IN TRIAL

Chicago, March 14.-With bursts of anger and desperate attempts to con trol his emotions, Luman c. Mann, ac- cused of the murder of Frances c. Thompson and curiously suggestive of Harry K. Shaw. yesterday was on the witness stand in his own behalf. Un- der the scathing questioning of As sistant States Attorney Day his forti- tude gave way.
 The witness lost control of himself when the prosecutor asked him If, while travelling for a clothing firm in Kan sas he had not sold his samples and If his father had not been compelled to square the matter.
 Be gentleman. don't be a rat" sh outed the witness.
 DO you think Fanny Thompson was a rat when you bound her with rope, when you gagged her, and then choked her to death?"
 cried Mann in rage.
 Asked where he had met Maude Shanks, who afterward became his wife, Mann replied:
 "At Britt, Ia. She was doing a dance In heshings with 8 theatrical com pany and getting SIP week for doing it. I used her as a cloak model. to show off samples. Later she came to Chicago and we were married"
 Court adjourned until Monday morn ing after Mann had told more of his exploits in the gay life.
 He continued to break into spasms of rage at his pitiless examiner. Once he stepped from the stand to get a drink of water.
 Don't lose your temper so. young man." admonished his sister Jessie, "Your life is in the balance"
 You lavished much money on liquor, didn't yon?" asked the states attorney, after the young man had taken his seat again.
 "I spent as high as $100 for wine in one night"
 Did you ever shoot craps with a gang of coons?"
 No, but I won a few thousand bucks from the police at the Harrison street station (Chicago)."

Governments Responsibility.

Rome, March 14.-The question has been raised here as to whether the United States is entitled to special satisfaction from the Italian government on account of the murder of Lieutenant Petrosino
 Officials of the government have point ed out that only the diplomatic and con sular bodies are under the special pro- lection of the government. and that only in the event of a member of one or the other of these bodies being assassi- mated by an Italian In this country could the government be held in measure re- sponsble. Petrosino, 1t Is said was in the same category as any American cit fzen abroad. contemplated in the treaty made in 1871. between Italy and the United States, whereby subjects of each country shall enjoy the same protection as natives.
 The American ambassador has made further representations to She foreign of flee setting forth the necessity for the protection of both Italians and Ameri- cans, of bringing the assassins of Petro- sino to justice He was assured that everything possible was being done by the government, and that he should be kept Informed of all developments. In addition to leaving nothing untried to discover the criminals, the government has offered large rewards for their cap ture.
