SAYS PANIC WAS
MADE TO ORDER
To Force T. c. /. Pool to Let Go It's
Holdings, Thinks One of The
Investigators.

Washington, Feb. A prominent
member Of the subcommittee Of the
judiciary committee, which is investigat
ing the Tennessee Coal and Iron com.
papy deal, said yesterday that the list
Of additional witnesses to be called had
not yet been made up, but that it would
be considerable one. II viii probably
include number of the members Of
the syndicate named BY Grant b. Schly
Yesterday.
This member deemed ii important
that John w. Gatas should be called.
lie added that SchIy and most OF the
other New York men connected with
the matter were afraid to talk about
any pressure the Morgan interests
might have brought on the syndicate
that held majority of the Tennessee
stock to make it part with its holdings
Gates, he believed, would be entirely
willing to talk freely,
The investigation he believed would
eventually show that the panic OF 1907
was manufactured in order that the
United States Steel corporation might
yet possession OF the Tennessee Coal
company, which was becoming danger
Gus competitor.
He pointed out that the evidence thus
far showed that there were two con
Germs chiefly that were pounded at the
time Of the panic These were the
Trust company OF America and the firm
of Moore & schley, both concerned in
Tennessee stock.

HARTMAN AGAIN SUED.
Gould Also Is Charged With Railroad
Fraud.

Chicago, Feb. 4.--Charging fraud
against the Chicago g. Alton, the Balti-
more & Ohio and Messrs Gould, Harri-
man and Stillman, the intervening petit
tion Of minority stockholders OF the Chi
cago TERMINAL Transfer Company came
up for hearing before Judge Kohlsaat in
the United States Circuit Court today.
II is alleged that in 1905 the terminal
company morgaged it's property. includ.
ing lease BY the Baltimore a Ohio, for
$l4.000,0 900 at per cent. to form a new
company to build line from Chicago
to st. Louis. 1t Is asserted that Gould
and his ASSOCIATES, fearing competition
against the Alton, secursd control of the
stork Of the'hew company and so mani.
pulated its affairs that It could not pay
interest on the mortgage. Then the
Baltimore & Ohio two years ago filed
motion to forclose the mortgage. The
Intervening petitions, hearing on which
began today was filed year later.

BILLS THAT FAILED
TO SECURE PASSAGE
A compilation Of The Failures in The
Legislative Session Which Has
Just Closed.

After the record Of accomplishment
by the legislature of 10000 comes its
record of failure. The platform of the
party is largely that record says the st.
Adams Messenger. Most prominent in
the mind Of the public is the lack Of
action on the taxation question. Lead
ing members Of the House and Senate
Iabored hard through the entire session
to devise something in the way of re-
form that would be satisfactory and
were willing to make compromises and
concessions TO effect beginning of re-
form, but 1.-THE majority would have
none of it. More the many other one
thing is the attempt to amend the tax
system responsible for the long session
just adjourned.
II is not surprising that nothing Of
consequence was done In regard to the
liquor question. There was q general
feeling that the law should not be
changed in any essential particular, so
the attempt to enact a county option
law failed, as did the efforts to secure
an innkeepers' license and authority for
the sale Of liquor by clubs. while numer-
ons attempts at minor amendments as
well as proposals to change the method
by the board and probably some good
legislation persisted along with the bad.
Many bills relating to railroads were
introduced, but hardly any Of them
were passed and little was done to i'm
prove the highway laws.
A new state board OF education was
created and the old system Of county
examiners was abolished, but the house
steadfastly refused to authorize the
building Of central normal school
though 1t did, by means OF commits
sion turn the whole matter over to the
next Legislature. The most effective
lobby seen about the State House dur
ing the session was that working for
the old normal schools. The deficiencies
of these institutions had been shown by
the superintendent of education and by
the special commission appointed two
years ago to examine into the matter
and the reasons had beeai made plain
why the present normal schools could
not attain 10 the requirements desired.
Vermont legislators are disposed to be
liberal and progressive in the matter
Of education, but neighborhood interests
forcibly presented By friends OF exist
ing institutions, were sufficient to over
come all the arguments in favor Of the
desired change.
Reasons and explanations, however,
are of little use now that the session |
i ended, and IL is sufficient for the
Information Of the public to state what
arc the important matters proposed
That failed to be enacted into law.

TO OUR
FRENCH TRADE
Parliament Plans to Raise
Tariff
WILL MEAN INCREASE
OF 20 Per cent.--Agncultural Machinery
to Be Hit Hardest--Grain, Wood,
Cloth, Furniture, Are Also
Affected.
WILL MEAN INCREASE

Paris, Feb. 4.--The American Chamber
Of Commerce in Paris is deeply concerned
by the report Of the parliamentary COM
mittee which was appointed to prepare
a plan for the revision Of duties, as It
is found that the new schedules proposed
will be great blow to American exports
TO France. Under these schedules the
maximum tariffs under which American
products are imported into France have
been increased on an average Of 20 per
cent, whereas the minimum rates under
which the products Of European coun.
tries are imported are increased only five
per cent. The report particularly affects
American agricultural machinery, as the
maximum tariff on this class OF imports
has been raised five farncs for every
100 kilos, while the minimum tariff, UNI
der which Germany and other countries
benefit, has been reduced ono franc. The
maximum rate on American machine
tools has been increased IS per cent,
whereas the minimum affecting other
countries has been increased only ten per
cent. As the United States supplies
10000 OF the $4,000 agricultural machines
purchased by France every year, the
burden Of increase on American export
ers win be heavy. Other maximum in
creases affecting the United States in
clude the duties on grain, wood, meats,
cloth, furniture and musical instruments.
There Is feeling among the members
OF the American Chamber OF Commerce
that the report represents the answer of
the commercial interests Of France 70
the severe customs regulations Of the
United States and 1t is pointed out
that this furnishes proof OF the greater
necessity on the part Of the United
States for the creation Of dual tariff
under which that country could bargain
for reciprocal advantages abroad. In
the meantime ii is understood that the
representatives of American interests
here will join in request that Parlia-
ment do not pass the report in its pres
ent form.

pended by Commissioner Edwards and
subpoenaed to appear before grand

tracts for snow removal have been alb.
rogated.
Commissioner Edwards said that al.
ter the discovery of. the frauds he sent
an agent to Jacobs, the contractors
foreman, and purchased $7oG worth Of
tickets at 50 per cent of their value
when redeemed by the city. He said
Jacobs offered $4,000 worth Of tickets
at the same price Jacobs when ar
rested. implicated the others and sur
rendered check for $500 drawn to his
order BY Deputy Hogel. Hogel said
