heard by the House Committee on Ways
and Means yesterday in concluding its
hearings on the agriculture schedule.
To-day the committee will take I'D the
cotton schedule. John P. Donovan, of
New York, urged the committee to put
hay and straw on the free list, saying
that the continuance of the protective
rate Of 81 a ton on hay resulted in pre-
venting the importation Of great quanti-
ties Of that product from the eastern
provinces of Canada. and tended to bring
large quantities OF hay from the Western
States to the Eastern seaboard. which
ought to remain in the West for feed
for cattle.

ment for Machinery.

New York. Jan. 21.-The plans Of i'm
portant Eastern and Western banks to
assist the farmers CT the United States
in purchasing farming implements be-
came operative today with the an
nouncement that William Solomon and
Company and Hallgarten and Company,
as the head OF a syndicate, has pur-
chased ss,o00ooo OF Agricultural Credit
Company five per cent collateral trust
notes
The incorporation of this company
took place at Albany some time ago,
but its functions were not clearly de-
fined at that time.
1t was learned to-day that the COM
pany has the strongest bankers of the
West. Northwest and East back of the
concern, the directors being A. H.
Wiggin, president of the Chase National
Bank; James G. Cannon, president of
the Fourth National Bank; Harry Bron-

Interests back of the. Agricultural
Credit Company figured out months ago
that the farmers of this country could
get greater credit from the agricultural
implement companies IL the latter manu-
facturers could find a greater field for
the farmers notes given for the machin-
cry purchased. These notes kept work
ing capital Of the implement manufac-
turers tied up to a certain extent The
Agricultural Credit Company interests,
therefore, organized the company to
purchase the notes from the implement
manufacturers. who could dispose of the
notes in that manner more readily and
on better basis than to the ordinary
banks.

bribery. in examining a prospective juror
to-day. indicated the line of testimony

trial II also precipitated a heated dis
cussion between the opposing attorneys,
and brought forth the laying down OF
the rule by Judge Conley that no per
sonalities and alterations between the
attorneys would be permitted during tha
trial

lowed as improper by the court. As
sistant District Attorney Ford and Dep
