chine until the latter was almost in
the ditch. Cannon then tried to
swing the animal, but the horse re-
fused to swerve. Then Wardle stop
ped his machine to prevent a COLI
sion and Cannon dashed up to the
side and, drawing a revolver. pointed
it at Dunphy and held 1t on him
while he vented a torrent of abuse.
Dunphy retorted that he would meet
Cannon any time or any place where
both would be on equal terms and
make him eat his words. The bully,
after venting his spleen, put up his
gun and let the party go.
The only reason the party did not
have Cannon arrested was that the
trouble occurred in Esmeralda coun-
ty and that the compliments would
have had to go to Goldfield to swear
out a warrant.

wrestler, held up Thomas Dunphy.
an employe of the Tonopah Fire de-
partment. at the point of a gun last
Sunday afternoon on the road be-
tween Tonopah and Millers and abus-
ed Dunphy and his parents with a
volume of %obscenity that none but
such a. foul-mouthed BLACKBOARD

to the assault in the Bonanza and
Cannon called to demand an apology
from the editor says the Bonanza.

had ben found on the desert below
Millers and was contracting to do
the work for a consideration of $40
each for every man who could be
persuaded to entrust him with the
job of locating a valley over forty
miles long. Reports of the locating
reached Tonopah and a party con-

short jaunts into the mountains. On
one of these trips Kermeen and
Harrell were standing together with
Kermeen holding a small target
rifle over his arm. According to
the story of the slayer he noticed
the gun was pointing directly at the
heart of Harrell and he pulled the
trigger and shot him through the
side. Harrell fell and Kermeen stood
over him watching his agony when
Harrell looked up and exclaimed:
You --. finish me at once and
complete your dirty work" Then
Kermeen said he placed the rifle
to the head of the suffering man and
finished the job Ito put him out of
Ills misery" Then he took a $500
diamond. a gold watch and $3.50
and returned to Bisbee. He overlook
ed forty dollars in currency on the
person of Harrell. The diamond
was pawned in his own name for
$40 at a Bisbee shop and then Ker-
meen took the first train for Ell
Paso. There he made no pretense
of concealment and registered his
right name and was apprehended
soon after the body of Harrell was
discovered in the course of two
DAYS.
Kermeen told of both killings
With perfect GOODNESS and only ex-
pressed a fear of being hanged. He
explained that his confession was
prompted by the desire to escape
the death penalty and he was will
ing to take a life sentence. His en-
tire purse suggested a degeneracy
and his theory was confirmed by
the sheriff during his short stay in
Tonopah. He found that Kermeen
was always under suspicion In Tono-
pah and that he was believed to
have been instru mental in robbing
the Montana saloon two years ago.
He was arrested at that time and
finger prints were taken, but was al
lowed to go for lack of Identified
ton. He also was supposed 10 know
something about the fire in the State
bank and Trust company building
which was commonly ascribed to
crossed wires. Sheriff Malley told
Sheriff Wheeler that he always
thought Kermeen was implicated
and he was watched closely with
out disclosing any discriminating evil
dence.

WHITE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT WILSON
 0N TOLLS REPEAL
New Senator Says Exemp- tiOn of Tolls Unfair and UndemOcratic-Makes
 First Statement

Columbiana, April S.-tspecial)-Cap Frank s. White. engaged here on the James G. Oakley trial as chief counsel for the state, and who. from latest elec- tion returns seems beyond doubt to have been elected United States senator from Alabama to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Joseph F. John- ston, stated today that he would stand unequivocaily by President Wilson on the repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemp- ton act.
 T am opposed to the exemption of canal tolls to American ships,' says Captain White, lon the grounds that it is unfair and undemocratic. My position is independent of any question of na- tional honor that might arise out of tine Hay-Pauncefote treaty Exemption of the levying of taxes on imports for the sake of Protection. It's a favoritism shown American ships at the expense of the people.
 .The American people paid for the canal and It's use should not be given free of charge to any select class. It would not lower our freight rates. If am elected as now seems almost certain, and my vote is called for in the Senate I will. stand with the President for the repeal of the exemption act ever time"

HOT DEBATE OVER
 BANK SELECTIONS Resolution Calling for In- formation From Con-
 mittee Urged

Washington. April Slot debate over the selection of the 12 regional reserve cities for the new federal bank ing system marked today's sessions of both houses of Congress. The argu- ment in the Senate, which centered on New Orleans, was followed by the in- troduction of a resolution by Senator Hitchcock calling on the organization committee for all its data and the req sons on which the fixing of reserve districts was based. objection by Sen- ator Swanson of Virginia forced con- sideration of the resolution over until tomorrow.
 Southern senators did most of the talking. Senator Ransdell of Louisiana declared an effort would be ma6e to have the federal reserve board overfule the selections of the organization com rn:ttee.
 Iil the House the advantages of Rich mond. Baltimore, Atlanta and New Or leans were discussed nearly all the aft ernoon Representative Glass of Vir- einia. chairman of the banking and our- rency committee, made a lengthy speech, defending Richmond in particular and the federal reserve organisation com mittee's selections in general. He was fortified with a mass of treasury de- partment figures.
 MT. Glass said Richmond with its 124,OO0 population had double the loans in the south that New Orleans with 400, ,00O population had, and that Rich mond was the creditor of Baltimore and not It's debtor. He ridicuied the idea that politics had anything to do with any of the selections.
 Representative Howard of Georgia sang the praises of Atlanta and told of its commercial importance.
 Representatives Dupre and Estopinal of Louisiana insisted that New Orleans should have been included in the list of reserve cities. while Representative Lintchicum of Maryland reiterated his declaration that grave error had been made in overlooking the claims of Bal timcre.

CUSTOM REVENUE ID
 EXCEED ESTIMATES
Receipts Under New Tariff Will Result in Loss of
 S49,000,000

Washington. April s--Figures were statement tonight showing that GUS toms revenue. duing the fiscal year which ends June S0 1a14, almost oer- tainy will meet and probably win ex- eeed the estimates made when Congress passed the new tariff law.
 The statement, prepared by Assistant Secretary Malburn. in charge of cns- toms, said.
 "It was estimated that the receipts from customs for the fiscal year 1a14. which included three months under the tariff act of 1909 and nine months un- der the present tarin act, approved Oo- tober 3, 1913 would amount to $27O,, 100000, resulting in a loss of S49,000, 900 from the customs receipts of the previous years
 'The total customs collections for the nine months just ended amounted to s22s5, 800, 1000, showing a loss for the nine months period of $24,750. 900. compared with the collections for tht Soiift BtIloh uuTllB l1t HAf8l year ended June 30, 1913. As this loss Is only one-half of the estimated loss for the whole year 1t is probable that the receipts for the fiscai year ending June 30. 1914, will exceed the estimate
 Falling off in Duties
 Tt is to be noted that the loss in revenue during the months of January and February. 1914, amounted in round numbers to $6000,0 and $100O0, ,0o0 respectively. This was caused by the falling off of the duties paid upon sugars as that commodity will be re- tained in bonded warehouses pending the reduction of sugar duties on March, 1, 1914 The customs receipts for these two months amounted to $28,5oo,0 900 and s17,500.000, respectively. The customs receipts for the month of March just closed were nearly s26,000, ,000 as against $27 .500,o00 for the correspond ing month of 1913, showing a loss of but s1.500.O0o and a recovery of receipts as compared with February of this year of over sS.000,o00.
 "In view of the above figures it now appears that monthly average of legs than s15,000,000 for April May and June. .tLe remaining three months of the present fiscal year, would bring the eotaI of customs receipts up to s270 : 900, 900, the original estimate for the fiscal year. n is probable that receipts for the three remaining months will ex- ceed this average of $15O0O0O0 and that the total receipts For the fiscal year will run over the estimate of s27O. 900.
