DAYS HAPPENIN GS
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, May 5.-The most im- portant happenings in the nations cap ital today were as follows:
 Tariff revision in all probability will keep President Taft and the members of Congress in Washington until near midsummer, the former having aban- doned hope of an earlier completion of the latter's important task.
 Orders to proceed to Merslna to pro- tect American interests were cabled to the armored cruisers North Carolina and Montana when news was received here of their arrival at Gibraltar.
 Consideration of committee amend ments to the tariff bill was resumed in the Senate after Senator Deliver had concluded his verbal assault on the measure under discussion.
 It was officially learned that Wee Governor Cameron Forbes probably would be appointed governor of the Philippines to succeed General Smith who is to return to the United States on leave.
 President Taft and Speaker Cannon We're each paid a visit by Il delegation of women protectlonists, operatives in Pennsylvania hosiery mills, who came here to advocate a higher duty on hosiery.

Savannah, May 5.-A crisis was reached in the trial of the so-called turpentine trust case today when the defense asked Judge William B. Sheppard, who is pre- siding, to direct verdict of not guilty as to all the defendants.
 In the absence of the jury this motion was argued. Late in the afternoon the court took the matter under advisement without intimating whether he would grant the request of the defense. It Is expected that his decision will be rendered tomorrow.
 It is predicted by attorneys who have closely followed the case that one or more of the defendants would fare as did Charles J. Deloach, secretary of the American Naval Stores company, who is exonerated, through a verdict in his favor, requested by the prosecution.
 Judge Samuel B. Adams made the open ing and closing arguments for the defense on the motion to direct verdict. William Toomer of Jacksonville, Fla. represent ed the prosecution in the opening argu- ment and was followed by MT. Aker- man.

Kingston. St. Vincent. British West In dies, May 5.-It may be that Capt. Collin Stephenson and the crew of the American whaling ship Carrie D. Knowles, long since thought to have been lost at sea, are still alive in Venezuelan prison.
 An American seaman. who gives the name of Payne, an escaped prisoner from Venezuela. has made his way 10 Kings town, where he laid before the authori- ties an astounding story of the seizure of the Carrie D. Knowles al a Venezuelan port, where she arrived five years ago in distress, and the incarceration by the Venezuelans of the captain and his men.
 So convinced here are the authorities that there Is truth in Payne's story that they have already taken steps looking 10 q speedy and thorough investigation ofgthe case.
 On January IT, 1904, the Carrie D. Knowles sailed from Pfavineetown, Mass, on whaling voyage. Her captain was Collin Stephenson and her first mate H. A. Marlin
 In addition she carried q crew of about a dozen men. These are the names as given by Payne to the authorities here, and as far as he could remember the names of the members of the crew:
 Wallace. Warner Romertson. Hazel. Sam Davis, Pierre, Grant, Lewis and John.
 Payne asserts positively that all Of these men are at the present time con fined in a Venezuelan prison.
 The vessel was supposed to have been

waverly, Tenn, May b.-The climax to a day of sensational testimony in the trial of the 15 alleged night riders here came tonight in the arrest of William Fortner on a bench warrant issued by Judge Cook, who is presiding in the trial. It Is charged that Fortner was with band Of night riders which whipped Squire Reece on October ; last; that he presented pistol at Reeces front door, while Will Norman, alleged leader, who has lied the country entered the house.
 Fortner is in jail under heavy guard The attorney general today produced in court what he claimed to be the original manuscript of the combined oath and by laws of the night riders.
 Witnesses for the state testified that the oath and bylaws to which they sub scribed when joining the organizations were similar, if not identical One wit ness said that at meeting the suggestion was made by Will Norman that J. I. An derson. prominent merchant of Way erlyi be induced to attend a meeting ana then shot his body being left In con snicuous place with a note pinned on IL, stating that the night riders had killed him.
 The idea, he said, was abandoned after some debate.

MISSOURI WILL APPEAL
 FROM RATE DECISION

The attorney general was the central fig ure around whom sthe proceedings took form today. He was subjected To cross fire examination from the railroad attor- neys with an occasional question from the court, because of his action at Jeffer- son City yesterday in filing quo warranto proceedings against the railroads Gen. eral Major maintained that he believed the railroads of the state had combined and conspired to fix freight and passenger raas and he regarded that a violation ot fhe law.
 siebert Jones. iereuit attorney of St. Louis, testified that the injunction suit which he filed against the railroads re- straining them from putting Into effect Il Scent passenger rate was inspired by Gov ernor Hadley.
 Answering the questions of his counsel. Joseph Howe of St Louis, Circuit Attor- ney Jones said he had dismissed the in junction suit against all the railroads which are charging a passenger rate or only 21a cents. He said he considered a Scent rate exorbitant and did not pro- pose to dismiss the suits against the roads which maintained the rate.
 The arguments on the motion to make the federal courts order permanent will be begun tomorrow morning.

 The story Payne told to the police to- day caused great excitement. not only because of the seriousness of the charges against the Venezuelan authorities. but because it added another to the many tales which have reached St. Vincent con- eerning the high-handed methods adopted by the Venezuelans under the administfa- ton of Castro.
 Payne declared the whaler had been disabled in q storm off the Venezuelan coast and had made port in distress. This was five years ago, but the exact date he could not remember.
 She was at once seized and the captain and crew were made prisoners and thrown into jail.
 He states that all the men are alive but are still closely confined.
 The details of Payne's escape from prison are not known. as the police have him in charge and will detain him until the investiga ton of the authorities estab- fish the truth or falsity of his assertions. It is possible, however, that he is one of the score or more of prisoners who escaped from the penitentlary at Mara ealbo about two weeks ago. Some of these men succeeded in making their way into Colombia and from that country 1t would not be difficult to reach St. Vim cent

Kansas City. May 5.-"There has been so much talk about the decree of this court in the Missouri rate cases, that it seems strange to me that an appeal has not been taken from that decree. Do you intend to appeal?"
 Yes. sir. transcript is now being prepared for an appeal to the supreme court of the United States"
 Judge Smith McPherson, presiding, asked the foregoing question and Attor- ney General Majors of Missouri. testify ing, gave this answer this afternoon at the hearing in the federal court to de- eide whether or not the Temporary re- straining order of the federal court en- joining the state from interfering in the rate cases was to be made permanent,
 Judge McPherson had recalled General Major to the stand to ask the question.
 Well. why have you waited so long to file your appeal?' continued the judge
 Because the record of the case is quite voluminous and it will require some time to complete the transcript Resides the law allows two years in which to file an appeal" responded the attorney gen. eral.

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
 IN IRON BUSINESS

Cleveland, May 5.-fSpecial )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Favor- able developments are plentiful in nearly all branches of the iron trade. Very heavy sales of finished material have been made and slight advances in quota tions have not retarded the buying. There is, however some question as to the ex- tent to which buying has been justified by actual eonsumptive demands, as 1t is clear that heavy tonnages have gone to stocks. There is danger that prices may be too rapidly advanced and cause ex- treme dullness during the summer months.
 Owing to the improvement of pig iron and finished material it is not now probable that ore prices will be reduced. If they should be, a reduction in the wages of miners would be inevitable, AL though the Lake Seamen and affiliated unions declared a strike May l on ac- count of the open shop policy announced by vessel owners. there are now more boats in commission on the lakes than are demanded by the ore-cauying trade. The ability of the unions to get men To leave their posts will be tested within few days, as vessels arrive from upper lake points.
 The recently announced low prices on wire products will not apply on contracts. and 1t is anticipated that an advance will soon be announced The April business of the American Steel and Wire company was extremely heavy. One large inde- pendent interest states that the April business on crude steel was the heaviest in the history of the company. The busi- ness taken by the steel bar manufacturers has made a most favorable showing and the lowest price now being named is Sll5 Pittsburg.
 Orders for heavy tonnage of structural material have been placed in New York. Chicago and other cities, and fluetuat- ing prices. have been advanced from 2 to s per ton.
 A fair amount of buying is being done by the railroads for bridge construction.

JAMES O'CONNELL
 IS FOUND GUILTY

Selma, May 5.-(SpeciaL)-In the United States court today James OCon- nedd was found guilty of robbing the postoffice at Orrville. about 60 days ago.
 O'Connell was captured in Birmng ham along with other yeggmen and although he attempted to prove an alibi with a letter from the chief of police of Memphis, the jury adjudged him guilty. The chiefs letter stated that John O'Connell was in Memphis at the time of the Orrville robbery The name of the yeggman on trial is James O'Connell, and the jury did not think the Memphis officer had reference to the latter.
 The United States grand jury com pleted its labors this afternoon and was discharged by Judge Toulmin. They examined A witnesses in eight cases and returned six true bills.

Crisis Comes M Trial
 Of Im-penfine Trust

MT. Toomer made a striking assertion when he said:
 While I don't want any of my friends at home to diseredit me, It does seem to me that if two things are established at all they are these: That Savannah is the primary market which these gentle- men manipulated, and that Jacksonville is the burylng ground for competitors who attempt to do business
 MT. Toomer stated that the government would contend that nine out of the F specifications in the indictment had been proven. He said that 1t was true that no evidence in the case supported the other three specifications.
 Judge Adams, in referring to the case of the Consolidated Grocery company, said.
 Yes. some of these gentlemen are fa- miliar with that case. Even the distin- guished United States senator from Flor ida who did think it beneath his dignity to use stolen letter. knows about the Consolidated Grocery company"
 This statement followed the courts ref erence to an action under the Sherman act for damages against this company, after Judl ans had argued that the proper pi < :. re for the Patterson Ex- port com . and. the Naval Stores Ex- port con y.n would have been a suit for dam -<

STATEWIDE BILL
 HAS POOR CHANCE

Jefferson City, Mo. May 5.-The Mis- souri senate today passed resolution submitting to the people statewide pro hibition constitutional amendment. The amendment which came to the senate from the house. was amended with a tax rider, which provides for the doubling of the rate of taxation. The final vote was 29 to B. with two senators not voting. The senate also took out of the amendment the provision of making the amendement effective in 1913 if carried. and now if the house concurs il will become effective immediately if cared by the general elec- ton. The whole matter now goes to the house and it is predicted that because of the short time before the legislature ad- 1ourns the house will not agree to the amendment calling for extra taxation and that no further action can be taken at this session.
 The prohibition advocates are mich discouraged tonight at the prospective de- feat of the measure.

CREW IS RESCUED
 FROM THE LAKE

Chicago, May 5.-The mystery of the lighter Batavia of the Behigh Valley Transportation company abandoned in the terrific storm which swept the great lakes last week, was cleared today when the steam barge Sharpless of the St Lawrence route put into Gary, Ind, and her captain, Thomas J. Carlisle, related the story of the rescue of the Batavia s crew.
 Capt. Arthur w. Ahspey of the Batavia and crew of five men were about to abandon hope of saving their lives with their slight craft nearing destruction on Fox island shores, when the barge Sharp less sighted them. She steamed as close to the lighter as possible, and the mem bers of the crew leaped from the lighter to the barge in safety
 The Batavia was picked up by the Pere Marquette ferry, No. l. several days ago and lowed into Frankfort, Mich

NEGRO PRISONER
 KILLED IN FIGHT

Albany. Ga, May 5.-Ely Holmes, desperate negro prisoner in the Lee coun- ty jail at Leesburg, was shot to death this afternoon in a hand-to hand fight with Deputy H. D. Logan, in dark cell in the jail, fight in which the loser could not leave the cell alive. Both men realized this, according to Deputy Logan, and when his chance came he killed the negro. He had entered Holmes cell and the negro attacked him. it is said, with a stool, beating the officer unmercifully before the latter could draw his pistol. Then a fight began for the possession of the pistol which ended when Deputy Lo- gan fired and the negro dropped to the cell floor dead.
