 Threatened O'Hara, He Says.
 Senator Ettleson, chairman of the commmitee, asked OConnell to give more detailed report of his conversa- ton with the Springfield 3eputy sheriff
 Well, 1 don't recall the exact Ian. guage,' said OConnell, but in sub. stance Sullivan threatened to put Hara up against it if he insisted on Davis appearing before the vice com. mission. He did not go into details about the affidavit, but seemed to as sume that OHara would know. He intimated that a scandal that would hurt the Dunne administration was certain to follow publication of the af- fldavit, and because 1 was interested in the administration, he thought I ought to do what l could to prevent injury to the administration.
 He said something about Davis be ing a good fellow, and he did not see why the committee wanted to force him to appear"

CONCESSIONS ON
PART RAILROADS
MEDlAToRs MAKING SOME PRO-
GREss IN EFFORTS TO AD-
JUST DIFFERENCES.

New York, July 24.-Efforts of the
Federal mediators under the Newlands
act to have the Eastern railroads and
their 10000 trainmen and conductors
reach an arbitration understanding re-
suited yesterday in concessions on the
part of the roads, according to unof-
fetal statements. The concessions
were not sufficient to satisfy the men,
however, and the deadlock remained
unbroken. The mediators met the
mems committee and later the man
ayers.
The roads, it was learned, consented
to withdraw their demand that all their
eight grievances against employees
should be submitted to arbitration
along with the mems wage demands.
They We're insistent, however, that
some of the demands be taken up.
The position taken by the roads was
met with an unaltered attitude by the
men, who reiterated that a strike was
certain if the managers insisted upon
arbitration of questions raised subse-
quent to the recent agreement to arbi-
trate the issues raised by the men.
The mediators continued to express
hope of clearing up the situation with
in few days. Conferences today
probably will take the form of a joint
meeting attended by mediators, rail
road representatives and men, when
the railroads will be asked to agree to
arbitration of their grievances after
the wage dispute has been stetled.

no adequate idea of the amount of
revenue that would be raised under
the bill.
Senators Lodge and Jones failed in
their effort to prevent the adoption of
proposed duty of per cent on
argols, from which cream of tartar
is made. Senator Lodge also opposed
vigorously, but without success, the
proposed duty on colodion, from which
celluloid is made. He declared it
would put American manufacturers at
great disadvantage.
The plan of the Democrats to take
coal tar products and coal tar dstil-
lates from the free list and place them
under duties ranging from > per cent
to 10 per cent was opposed by Sena-
tor Smoot, but without avail He de-
clared they were the raw material of
American manufacturers. His amend
ment to the two schedules covering
these subjects were defeated, the
first 80 to %, and the second 40 to
80.
Senator Johnson of Maine, who was
in charge of the Democratic bill dur.
ing consideration of the chemical
schedule, justified the increases the
committee had made on the ground
that they imposed a revenue tax on
chemicals that could be taxed without
materially affecting American indus
try.
! The reading of the bill probably will
, give way again today to open debate
with Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
as chief speaker on the Republican
side. Senator Thornton Democrat
gave notice that he would speak Mon
day.

licans aligned with the Progressive
element.
Detailed consideration of the bill be-
gan unexpectedly when it was found
that no Republican Senators were
ready to deliver general tariff
speeches. Chairman Simmons of the
Finance Committee urged that the
Senate lose no time in pushing the
measure to vote, and, with the con-
sent of the Republicans, the reading of
the bill line by line was begun.
Tests ofstrength came upon num-
mer of relatively unimportant issues
embraced in duties upon chemicals and
drugs. The Democratic ranks held
solidly upon each vote. Upon the first
vote, when Senator Smoot opposed
reduction of the oxalic acid duty
from cents to 1 1-2 cents per pound,
Senators Bdrah, Bristow, Crawford,
Cummins, Jones, La Toilette, Norris
and Works, Republicans, and Senator
Poindexter, Progressive, Joined the
Democrats in indorsing the proposed
reduction.
On subsequent vote to increase the
duty on pyrogallic acid from 10 per
cent to Is per cent, twelve Republicans
voted with the Democrats.
Democratic Senators evinced
throughout the day the determination
of the party managers to hold debate
TO minimum. No Democratic Sena-
tor participated In general discussion
further than to give information as to
the reasons for the reductions.
The Democrats have determined to
make few speeches. and to use their
efforts 10 minimize debate and hasten
final passage of the bill.
Republican Senators criticized re-
peatedlg the character Of the estimates
made by the Democratic leaders as
the basis for the reduced duties. Sew

Jackson. Miss, July24.-In his BIZ
ennial message to the legislature Gov
ernor Brewer will earnestly recon-
mend that all structures on the state
convict farms be constructed as nearly
fireproof as possible, replacing the
present dangerous wooden structures.
Governor Brewer had this sugges-
ton in mind even before the Monday
night disaster at the Oakley farm re-
sulting in thirty-five convicts being
burned to death. He will discuss the
subject of prison buildings at consider
able length in his biennial message,
and it is likely that he will submit
recommendation for radical changes
needed in the system of prison man
agement, based on the discoveries he
has made during the present probing
of prison affairs.
Governor Brewer has never been an
earnest advocate of the penal farming
system. On the contrary, he believes
/ that much greater good could be ac-
complished by using the convicts on
public roads, thus insuring lasting ben.
efts to all sections of the state, instead
of merely putting net profits of from
100000 to 100000 into the state
treasury each year.
In his first message to the legisla
ture Governor Brewer preached his
plan for the construction of north
and-south highway from the Tennes
see line to the gulf, to be construct
ed with surplus convict labor, and he
will renew this suggestion at the mex
biennial session.
Apropos Of responsibility for the dis
aster at Oakley, members of the pris
on board assert that the chief blame
must be fixed on the Legislature, sine,

that body has failed to provide ap-
preparations sufficient for the con-
struction of fireproof quarters for the
convicts at any of the farms save the
Parchman place. While it is true that
new buildings cannot be erected by the
prison board without legislative APP
preparation therefor, an examination
of the biennial reports of the board
for the past eight years fails to show
wherein that body has ever submitted
recommendation to the legislature
for fireproof buildings, nor do any of
the monthly reports of the prison trus-
tees on file in the secretary's office
contain any remarks concerning the
, dangerous condition of frame build
ings on the convict farms.
The disclosures that have been made
