Why?
San Benito fishermen.
AT least said A. W Reed. local man
aEer for the Western Union Telegraph
company. Mr.. Reed said that wire
trouble was encountered early today,
and the trouble was found to center
at San Benito. Investigations started
by linemcn along the railroad in the
San Benito vicinity revealed that the
telegraph wires across the San Benito
main canal, near the railroad bridge
were literally cluttered up with fish
ing lines. The fishermen, Mr.. Reed
said. would throw their lines out and
over too far, resulting in the lines
wrapping around the telegraph wires.
This has continued for days. until il
resulted eventually in putting almost
every wire out Of commission, causing
numerous short circuits.

BY j. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

There seemed to be scant pros
pect today of the Republicans in
control OF the Senate Finance Com.
mittee being able to complete the
new tariff bill before the middle OF
next week.
It was even predicted that another
week might elapse before the re.
written measure is reported to the
Senate.
The Republican committee mem.
bers, shut in behind barred doors,
were still divided between the choice
OF American or foreign valuations
as a basis for the proposed tariff
duties. 1t was believed that Senator
Smoot of Utah and others who favor
