HIS SPEECH.
HON. T. 3. GREENWOOD FoRCIBLY
DEFENDED RAILROAD MEASURE
BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMIT
TEE AT AUSTIN TUESDAY,.

Austin, Texas, Aug. Ex-Governor
Campbell, the senate judicial commit
tee and fully one hundred other per.
sons were in attendance upon the
guarantee the payment of certain un'
secured claims against the lnterna-
tional and Great Northern railroad be-
fore its sale September 10, in a two
hours sitting of the house judiciary
committee this afternoon. Few more
interesting hearings have been con-
Quoted by either house and every word
from each side was listened to eagerly
by all who were able to get within
hearing distance of the arguments.
T. B. Greenwood of Palestine, attor-
ney for a number of claimants against
the railroad, occupied the whole time
this afternoon and he hurled a mass
Of argument, court decisions and Sar-
casm against the propositions laid
down by the opponents of the bill in
the hearing yesterday. He not only
contended that the pending bill is en-
tirely constitutional, but endeavored
to set forth that the officials of the
railroads had exceeded the provisions
of the constitution when they confis-
Gated cotton that was shipped over
their road in order to make up a fund
with which to pay interest on the
mortgage bonds and had robbed those
who had supplied the road with cash,
materials and labor to keep the road
going IN order to meet the calls for
interest from the bond holders in
order to prevent the road being thrown
into foreclosure proceedings sooner
than it was.
From dispositions of Auditor Maury,
the attorney showed that the road be-
tween January 1, 1907, and March 1,
1910, had paid to the first mortgage
bond holders $1,33S,2S5; to the hold
ers of the second mortgage bonds |
there had gone in interest between
January 1, 1907, and the time of the
appointment of a receiver the sum of |
-$522,450, and to the holders of third |
mortgage bonds $4S,79O.
Added to this total of S1,904,225 |
there had been paid out of earnings
of the road $4,000 for a new depot at
San Antonio and expenditures for
other bettrements of the road of
making a total expendi-
ture of s2,647, 1887, in addition to
the more than $4,OOO,0OO which the
road owed the Goulds There had
been a separate tie and ballast ac-
count of SS49,O00 which had gone into
the betterment of the road, thus in
creasing the value of bonds, yet the
people who had kept the road going
with their supplies, cash and labor,
are denied payment for the same, he
said.
Statistics were produced showing
that the total of unsecured claims
against the road amounted to $2,250,-
600, $1,450,O00 of which was due when
Mr.. Freeman took charge of the road.
Mr.. Greenwood quoted a decision
from Judge Lurton, now member of
the United States supreme court. rem

 Other business men are equally wrathy over the appointment. Nothing has ere ated such stir in Georgetown since the Civil war.
 At the called meeting of the associa- ton plans will be made to contest Me- Kinlay's confirmation by the Senate. Sen ator Tillman of South Carolina will be appealed to to hold up the confirma- tion. Tillman successfully fought the confirmation of Dr. Crum, nominated to be collector of the port of Charleston, South Carolina
 No protest of citizens can prevent Me Kinlay taking possession of the office, his appointment being a recess appoint ment Probably next week Collector Ny man will be forced to hand over the keys to the new collector, whose commission is expected daily from Beverly. When that arrives and McKinlay qualities by making bond he will be given possession. He will remain undisturbed until the fight against his confirmation begins at the next session of Congress.

Monopoly does not mean a single factory with absolute control of one article but means a combina. tion of factories. The same article sells for the same price everywhere when the factories are controlled through trust agreements.
 "It is only within the last few years that the lack of competition between American and foreign goods has become so marked that the people began to talk about the tariff duties being too high" said the senator. "The people have found the absence of foreign com petition in the markets of this country has made 1t possible for the Ameri- can manufacturer to increase his prices at his own will and without regard to actual market conditions" declared the senator. t.
 "The sentiment has grown that some thing must be done with the tariff to re- establish competition in trade to break down the octopus said the sen ator ",The republican, national conven- tion realized this and 1t had to make an agreement that if it were successful | 1t would revise the tariff so that the monopolies and trusts could no longer annihilate competition through the tariff schedules. This was the first real recognition that the tarfff has had O a desire of placing the tariff on a scien- = tific basis.

Meridian, Miss, July 22.-(Special.)- One of the most narrowing and unpro- voked murders so far as known, that has ever occurred in Mississippi was dis covered this morning at Rural Hill in Winston county when the dead body or Miss Jamie Sharp was found with her throat cut from ear to ear and her head almost beaten into a jelly and lying in pool of water.
 It appears that the young lady went to the postoffice at Rural Hill for the mall
 late yesterday afternoon She did not re- turn when expected and inquiry among neighbors failed to locate her. A search was at once instituted by the neighbors and early this morning, about 4:30 O clock, her dead body was found by the road side with her head in pool of water, horribly mutilated and her throat cut apparently with a pocket knife.
 The young lady was the daughter of MT. and Mrs William Sharp, who Are among the most prominent people in Winston county. She was only IS and was es- pecally popular with the young people There were two young men who were paying her especial attention.
 As soon as the dead body of the young girl was found the news spread over the country and soon reached Louisville, the county seat. where Judge George A. Me Lean of Winona was holding term of circuit court Judge Mclean. in order to prevent summary Justice, told the people that if the guilty party was caught ne should have an immediate trial at thls term of court

Council Groves, Kas., July 22.-Sen- ator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa in a speech before a chautauqua audience here tonight asserted that the pledge of the republican national platform for a revision of the tariff was not fulfilled and added that Senator Aldrich and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon and others who took the lead in framing the tariff bill had never attempted and never intended to keep the pledges of the party.
 Senator Cummins came into the home town of one of the Kansas regular resentative James M. Miller, to give his message of advice. The senator was cheered for a minute when he started his speech.

QUEERQUERIES FOR CENSUS BUREAU

Washington, July 22.-(Specialo-The census bureau is expected by many per sons throughout the country to serve as a tracer of lost persons Seldom does a day go by without letter to the 'chief clerk asking the bureau if it can locate some missing son. Because of it's con- fidential work in collecting the personnel of Uncle Sam's great domain, many oe- lieve that the bureau can place It's nnger on any man, woman or child In any section of the United States with oniy the name and a slight description or the individual to go by. Broken-hearted wives and sweethearts who have been deserted pitifully ask that the, records of the pu- reau he used In an effort to find the op- feet of their sorrow. Mothers of child
 ren who have either been lost or stolen or who have run away" ask if anyone answering the names of their offspring has been recorded. The office Is not a
 tracer of lost persons, as Is supposed by many. It is pointed out that wnlie if has an opportunity to shine in tnis na rticular. it's records are maintained III such manner as to serve for statlstlcai nnonoses and not for personal or indi- vidual reasons. The millions of names collected are not arranged in alphabetical order, with the nIace of residence beside the name, as in the case of city directories.

statement of Mrs. Rawn

Chicago, July 22.--Although too i'll to at tend her husbands funeral, Mrs. Ira G Rawn, widow of the late president of the Monon railroad, late today made a de- tailed statement to a stenographer of the shooting of MT. Rawn at his summer home in Winnetaka early last Wednes- day morning.
 In a general way the statement bears out the stories of the death of MT Rawn as told by the dead mans son-in-law, R. G. Coburn. Mrs. Rawn, says she and her husband were awakened by a noise on the first floor of the house; that Mir. Rawn picked up his revolver and started downstairs.
 of some sort apparently on the stair way, and a shot or shots fired.
 The police have seized upon three points in Mrs. Rawns statement that they be- lieve could be of importance in connec- ton with the investigation. The first is the declaration by Mrs. Rawn that she is certain of having heard one shot, and the second Is her assertion that MT. Co., burn, her son-in-law, preceded her hus- band downstairs. and that he had turned on the lights before she herself reached her husband The third is the statement that MT. Rawn was found lying squarely on his back.
 The police say these three points SUD- port their statement that MT. Rawn killed himself Friends of the Rawn family in- sist that Mrs. Rawn's description of what occurred Wednesday morning is further evidence that MT Rawn was murdered

BRISTOW MAKES SERIOUS
 CHARGES AGAINST CANNON
 AND REPUBLICAN LEADERS

Manhattan, Kans., July 22.-Senator Joseph L. Bristow, in a speech here last night, charged Speaker Cannon and the stand pat congressman with manipu- lation of the lead schedules of the tariff bill in support of the 'smelter trust" so- called.
 A duty not measuring the difference of the cost of smeltipg at home and abroad as promised in the republican platform, but from $2.50 to $6 higher than the en- tire cost of smelting in this country, was imposed on lead" the senator said. "This was done not in the interest of protecting struggling American industry, but in the interest of monopoly controlled by the Guggenhems, backed by the great Rocke- feller financial interests.
 Because I presume to object to this sort of thing, MT. Cannon calls me a democrat, demagogue a lunatic and a pickpocket. MT. Cannon, holding the of flee of speaker of the House. second in power and dignity in this government, has been routed over Kansas forea num- Der of days denouncing the insurgents, myself in particular. Instead of indulg- ing in vituperation, why doesn't he give the reasons why he insisted upon ignoring the plain, specified declarations of the republican national platform? Why did he stand by the Senate In the interests of the Guggenheims.
 'The duty in lead. in ore, as the tarih bill passed the House, was s30 ton. The duty on pig lead or lead bullion, was the same. The bill came to the Senate and was referred to the committee on finance, of which MT.

|NO SETTLEMENT OF | STRIKE IN SIGHT

Montreal, July 22.--The end of the fourth day of the strike of the Grand Trunk railroad conductors and trainmen shows little prospect of settlement in sight.
 The attempts of Mackenzie King, min ister of labor to secure cessation of hostilities by recourse to arbitration have so far resulted merely in a re- iteration by both of the parties that they are willing to arbitrate on lines they suggested Monday afternoon Just before the strike was ordered.
 President Hayes of the Grand Trunk yesterday wrote the minister of labor that the position of the company was the same as 1t had always been.
 The company succeeded in moving several freight trains today on the prin- cipal divisions and promises to do con- siderably better tomorrow.
 It is said so far as the Central Vermont is concerned the strike is as good as over now.
 Passenger business is improving as the public learns that the trains are being operated without molestation.
 The strikers on the other hand say many of the new men are deserting the company and add they have persuaded some of the men who did not come out at first to leave later while men from other departments who had taken places of the strikers have decided to quit.

PORT IS OPENED
 AT BLUEFIELDS

Washington, July 2.-Crossing dipio- matic swords with Norway, the state department replying to protests from New Orleans commercial interests against Norwegian recognition of the Rluefelds Nicaragua blockade, today de- clared Bluefields to be an open port. Norway, 1t was said, was misinformed of conditions there.
 Norway's misunderstanding was laid bv the state department to Michael J. Clancy, consular representative of Nor way at Bluefelds, and until yesterday vice consul of the United States at the same port Acting Secretary of State Wilson today announced that Clancey' resignation as vice consul had been ac- cepted, his service in the dual capacity being against the law.
 Tn connection with the statement that Norway was mistaken about Bluehelds being blockaded, the department in its reply to the New Orleans interests quoted at length from various instruc- tions given weeks ago to American naval officers in Nicaragua to the effect that Madriz was to be prevented by force of arms from interfering with legitimate American trade entering Bluefields. No new position is announced by the govern ment, but the state departments ac- tion is taken as an indication that the United States will protect American car goes entering Bluefields, whether carried under the flag of the United States or any other nation.
 MT. Wilson declined to state definitely what the course of the United States would be or comment upon what effect the reply might have upon the diplo- matic relations between this country and Norway. r-
