IRON IS NOT UNPROTECTED.
Senator Bailey Thought That It Would Be Better to Send
 the Steel Trust to the Pen itentiary Than to Leave It Open to Cruel C Competition

Washington. May 13.-After a day devoted to discussion of iron ore, the senate adopted by a vote of 61 to 24 a recommendation from the commit tee on finance for a duty of 25 cents per ton. The house had placed that article on the free list. The Dingley duty is 40 cents per ton. Party lines were annihilated in the vote today as seventeen democrats voted aye" with the republicans and twelve republicans voted mo" with the democrats.
 During the day Senator Bailey in announcing that he proposed to vote for the duty on iron ore, as a revenue measure, declared that free ore would not affect the prosperity of the United States Steel corporation and he added that even if it did there was a better way to deal with that organization which was by the en- forcement of the antitrust law against it.
 Just put ope of these malefaetors of great wealth in the penitentiary, and you will see the antitrust law enforced without any further viola tions," said Senator Bailey. He re- ferred to the United States Steel corporation, charging it with violating the antitrust laws. He insisted that if authorities use the right methods the corporation will be dissolved, ad- ding that if the present administra- tion fails in its duty, the people would choose other officials to rep resent them.
 Send one of these men who may be found violating either the inter- state law, or the anti trust law, to the penitentiary," had added, and you will stop these violations by others. You cannot do it with fines, because when the court fines trust, the trust fines the people, and as long as the punishment is meas ured in dollars and cents they will continue to violate the law. Men take the chance of pecuniary loss in the hope of realizing greater pecuni- ary gains. Send one of them to the penitentiary and it will work like magic.
 'I expect to see the United States Steel corporation officers imprisoned or become fugitives from justice and if the men now charged with the administration of the law fail to perform their duties, I have an abid- ing faith that the American people will call into their service another set men if not from another party, at least another set of men from your party. The stalwarts of today would become the insurgents of that day and insurgents of this generation would be the stalwarts of the next generation. That is as certain as any event i nthe future can be-"
 For the first time there was a suggestion looking to the fixing of date for a vote, but it came to naught, because of objection from Senator Beveridge.

The StoPyOfthe Farce Begins
 at Tombstone |NcUBA1ED AT ST. LOUIS
The Outbreak Occurred at Douglas Where the Com mander in Chief of the Rev.
 olutionary Forces Received
 Orders to Pitch into Mexico

Tombstone, May 19.-A jury was se- cured today to try the case of Magon. Villareal and Rivera on the charge of violating the neutrality laws of this country and directing an armed inva- sion of Mexico United States Attorney Alexander in his opening statement declared that the government proposed to prove that the alleged revolutionary conspiracy was matched at St Louis by the defendants, that letters dictated at that city were subsequently mailed from Canada, and that the overt act was finally committed at Douglas, Ariz.. when instructions were received by one of the junta members, named Espinosa, directing the movements of the proposed invasion.
 The first witness was A. T. Saniuels. of St. Louis, who was the advertising manager of the Regeneration" the official organ of the junta at St Louis. His testimony was relative to the sig natures of the defendants, of dOcu- ment issued in the interest of the rev OlutiOn, which will be introduced in the case. City JailOr J. B. Loving. of Los Angeles, also testified to the sig natures as compared with letters and orders signed by the prisoners while incarcerated in the California jail
 Immigration Inspector Cornell told of the history of the famous raid on the Douglas junta in September, 1906. by Arizona Rangers and immigration officers when papers. commissions, a flagstaff and the paraphernalia of the junta were seized. Letters identified were captured at the time. -
 Court Inspector Pedro Michelena testified to the correct translations of the Spanish letters into English and the letters of instructions to EspinOsa were introduced as evidence. The let ters designated Espinosa as chief of the revolutionary forces and treat at length of the plans to invade Cananea and other points in Mexico, cautioning prudence and secrecy in perfecting the arrangements and advising that Amer jeans be not molested as fear of inter ventiOn would be probable.
 The overthrow of the Mexican gov ernment was planned to grow in favor and the letters were enthusiastic of the ultimate success and triumph of the liberal party. The letters were in troduced after vigorous objections by Attorney Cleary for the defense.

He said he could not feel a parents attachment, naturally, but that in another way he loved them as sincerely and cherished their good will and appreciation and believed they were his friends. He hoped, as the years go by that, as they blos- som into manhood and womanhood, he might know them better and could not help but believe that their suc- cess in life would in some measure be his reward for careful and patient and thoughtful effort during the four years he has been in charge of them as superintendent

WHEN THE PHILIPPINES SHALL
 BE EREE

Washington, May 13.-In the house today Chairman Payne explained that the most important reason for the legislation advocated in his Phil ippine tariff bill was that the insular government under the general tariff bill would be deprived of about $1.000,000 in revenue, because of the free trade relations proposed between the United States and the Philippines.
 Replying to MT. Robinson of Arkan- sas, MT. Payne declared that he could not even prophecy when the Philippine Islanders would be given self government.

CALH0UN'S ASSISTANT
  GOES 0N THE STAND IF ANY BRIBERY WAS GOING Thornwell MuIlally Had Never Heard of it.

San Francisco, May 12.-Thorn- well Mullally, assistant to the presi- dent of the United States railroads and under indictment himself for alleged offenses similar to that charged against his chief, was the most important witness examined during the trial of Patrick Calhoun today. Mullally never before ap- peared on the stand in any of the bribery graft cases and has never been summoned to give testimony since his refusal to answer any ques- tions-put to him before the grand jury in 1907 when the first steps in the investigation were taken.
 He occupied the stand drring the greater part of the day and his evil dence went into many matters which related to the trolley franchises on which the present case hinges. From first to last Mullally denied any knowledge of the offer of any bribes to the supervisors or the employment of Abraham Ruef as agent to offer bribes as charged by the prosecution His evidence for the most part re- lated to the time of the fire and the struggle to rehabilitate the transpor- tation lines of the city
 The most important part of his examination from the standpoint of the prosecution was his admission that he had no knowledge, either as a director or officer of the company, of the withdrawal of s200,00O from the mint by Tirey l.. Ford, general counsel for the road in 1906, nor the negotiations for a loan for that amount by Calhoun, all of which the prosecution claims to have proved in its effort to show that this money was used to bribe tie supervisors.

IN PARADE FIRST TIME.
was New Flag of West Virginia
Displayed.

Parkersburg, w, Va, May 1.-THE
w. Va. flag, adopted at the extraordi-
nary session of the legislature in 1908
was displayed for the first time, when
it was borne in the parade of the vet
Grams of the G. A. r. by Capt. William
Kirk. Capt. William Kirk had taken
especial pains to get the flag from
Charleston and right proud he was
yesterday afternoon to carry the Off
cial banner OF the Little Mountain
State.
West Virginia did not discover until
the jamestown exposition in 1907 that
she needed a flag separate, apart and
distinct from the flag of every other
state in the union. Then at the next
session of the legislature she got busy
and the flag displayed yesterday was
the result.
The field is of spotless white, sur.
rounded by a border of blue with a
gold fringe. On one side is laurel
wreath with leaves and flowers and
on the other is the coat of arms oil
West virginia in red and gold.
The flag elicted much favorable
comment though many who saw it die
not know that 1t was the official ban
ner OF the state. There are two II

Hon. Sir:-I am addressing you on
a subject that is neither personal tor
you or T. but one that has often occu-
pied my thoughts. especially since |
have entered upon "the evening of
life," and find myself of but little use
in the active world OF today. In the
winter OF 1861, the fortunes Of war
found me a prisoner OF war, confined
in Libby prison, Richmond, Va. At
tfat time and in that place, there
were several hundred of other prison
ers, non-combatants, citizens OF Vir-
ginia. which state. embraced the Sec
ticn now represented by you. These
men were put into prison upon sus-
picion of loyalty to the federal gov
eminent. They had committed no
crime. Taken away from their homes
and families, with no one to interest
themselves in their behalf. We north
yensrs were suspicious of them. We
had orr government to look 30 and
had Eooes of being exchanged. They
had no one to look to for succor, and
their futures must have been dark in
deed. | have rever read, or heard, of
anything ever haviug been done for
them, or to perpeyrate their memo
ries. Should not aething be done,
IL only a tablet or monument to COM
memorate their sufferings and service?
I have several letters written by me
from Libby prison 70 my dear old
mother. who kept them all these years,
nearly half century, and persu'ng
them recalls what we had to endure,
which was nothing in comparison 10
what these unfortunate men hcd to
face. have endeavored to be brsef.
Read between the lines, and IL moth
| ing has been done, let something be
done, if only for history.
Yours very truly,
