STEERAGE RATES
TO BEDROCK
NORTH GERMAN LLOYD STEAM
SHI PCO. LEADS OFF WITH AS
TOUNDING REDUCTIONS sls
TO GENOA, ITALY.
NEW YORK, April J— What prob
ably will be the biggest rate war ever
held between the various companies
plying between New York and Medi
terranean ports, was started today
with the announement by the North
Oerman Lloyd Steamship Cos. of an ex
traordinary reduction, which goes into
effect Immediately. The rate to Oenoa
has been for steerage passage reduced
to sl6 and to other ports In propor
tion. The company In announcing
these reduced rates makes no Intima
tion that they will continue for any
length of time, but from all appear
unces they will remain uutll some
mutual agreement is made between
the various companies regarding a
standard rate. The reduction is only
In steerage rates and doesn't affect
the first and second cabin fares.
The officials of the White Star line
announced that they would meet the
cut and would reduce their rates to
meet those of the North German Lloyd
line. Five Italian lines have an
nounced that they will do eveu more
than the two big lines and will re
duce their rate to Genoa to sl2 and
to other Mediterranean* porta in pro
portion. The westbound rates remain
hb before, the reductions only appeal
ing to steerage passengers to Europe.
SSO hits Not Necessary
Household Expenses, Says
Jury in Chicago Case
CHICAGO, April 3,—Twelve Juror*,
Including three bachelors, have de
cided in Judge Newcomer's court that
130 hats are excluded from the neces
sary household expenses for whluji a
husband in moderate circumstances
legally may. be held liable when in
curred by his wife without his ap
proval.
The decision eatablishe a precedent
so far as the classification of wom
en's hats as necessaries of life is con
cerned. It is evident that the men in
ibe jury box mentally put themselves
in his place when Mr. Ferguson, relat
ed the sorrows of some young hus
bands when their wives succumb to
an overweening desire for the pretty
things that seem to grow in the win
dows of importers’ shops.
FEAR ALDRICH BILL
WOULD CAUSE PANIC
CHICAGO, April 3.—At a meeting
of the representatives of the national
tranks of Chicago, resolutions were
unanimously adopted expressing their
views regarding the Aldrich currency
bill.
v The resolutions which were signed
by every member of the Chicago clear
ing house, oppose the bill on the
ground that It will permit or no expan
sion of loans before Jan. 1, 1909, and
consequently may precipitate an
other serious panic when next fall's
crop moving time arrives.

WILLIAMS IN A
BRUSH WITH
L 3H
minority lkader and chair.
MAN OF COMMITTEE ON AP
PROPRIATIONS IN JANGLE
OVER NAVY APPROPRIATIONS.
WASHINGTON, April 3.—John
Sharp Williams, the minority leader
In the house, showed up today with
blood In his eye and continued the
filibustering tactics which he adopted
in the house yesterday. He demand
ed a yea-and-nay vote on the approv
al of the journal.
When the journal had been approv
ed, Chairman Tawney, of the commit
tee oh approprlatlona, asked unani
mous consent for the house to go into
a committee of the whole to consider
the senate amendments to the ur
gent deficiency bill appropriating $2,-
000,000 for armor and armament for
the navy.
“Pending this request/’ said Mr.
Tawney, “I want to state that unless
this bill 1* passed speedily, many em
ployes of the Washington navy yard
will lose their positions.”
“Ileserving the right to object,” be
gan Mr. Williams, but Mr. Tawney
cat him short with:
“I will not yield the floor to you.”
“Then I object,” snapped Mr. Wil
liams.
Mr. Tawney thereupon made a reg
ular motion that the house go into
committee of the whole to consider
the bill. On this Mr. Williams de
manded a roll call and a roll call was
had.
BIRD IS OPPOSED
TO CITT BUNK
SETTLEMENT
THINKS TERMS SUGGESTED BY
JUDGE DONOVAN TOO LIBERAL
WHEN RECEIVER MIGHT WIN IN
LITIGATION.
Attorney-General John E. Bird is In
Detroit to take part In the final set
tlement of the affairs of the City Sav
ings bank, if such a settlement is
found practicable. He is opposed,
however, to Judge Donovan’s plan of
paying SIOB,OOO to the banks holding
certified checks of the defunct In
stitution. The attorney-general Inti
mated that there might be political
reasons for such a settlement being
suggested.
"I am not In favor of such a aettlo
ment unless for very good reasons —
and they should not be political tea
son*,” stated Mr. Bird possltlvely. “I
believe there Is as good as an even
chance of the chyck cases being won
by the receiver, and think that any
settlement should be made with rtv
gard to those chances. A settlement
on the basis Involved would indicate
that the banks have 80 per cent to
win. That is a large amount of money
to pay—sloß,ooo."
During the morning Mr. Bird was In
conference with Prank C. Andrews,
Timothy E. Tarsney and P. J. M. Hal
ly. Further conferences are being beld
this afternoon.
STATE WONT LOSE
BY 0 LAZIER
FAILURE
DIVIDEND OF 4S PER CENT FROM
DEFUNCT - BANK W 1U —LBT
TREASURY OUT WITHOUT
LOSE, SAYS BIRD.
f ' • - ■ IV- ?/ jr . .
The state of Michigan will suffer
only temporary Inconvenience, If any,
from the failure of the Chelsea Sav
ings bant, a state depository, and
the personal bank of Frank P.
Glazier, former state treasurer. At
torney-General John E. Bird has been
looking into the effect of the failure
upon the state finances and believes
tho damage will be small.
"We have already received $50,000
from the surety companies.” he says,
"and the state will receive $200,000
more as a dividend within 30 days.
Just how soon other dividends will be
paid cannot be told as yet, but they
will be made as soon as possible. The
money due from the surety companies
will also be collected as promptly as
can be done.
“I think the effect upon the state
finances will be very slight. The
worst estimate I have heard of the
resources of the bank Is that it will
pay only 70 per cent. If It pays 48
per rent the state will not be out a
cent.”
Auditor-General Bradley states that
he will not withhold any of the pri
mary school money to apply tempor
arily on the state’s general fund, but
will distribute all cash on hand May
1 to the various counties.
State Treasurer Rich has con
fidence that sufficient money may be
had to keep the State institutions
running. '

version of the conversation that pass
ed between them with reference to a
pardon.
“About 2 o’clock on the afternoon of
Jan. 28, a few hours after Percy had
been identified by Jeweler Kersteu
and had told of having seen Mrs.
Welch killed, I sent for the boy and
had a short talk with him in a smalt
room adjoining my office. ‘T said to
him, ‘Percy, do you think anybody is
going to believe that story you told us
this nyorning?’ ‘No, I don’t,* he re
plied. Then he began to cry. It was
the first time he had Bhown any signs
of breaking down. He told me a story
then about a dream his mother had
had about him the night of his return
to Woodvlile. She had dreamt he
murdered aomebody—she didn't know
whether It was a man or a woman.
Percy said be had always been a bad
boy.
"Was anything said about a par
don?” Assistant Prosecutor Grose ask
ed.
No Promise of Pardon.
"Yes, Percy spoke about a pardon,
and I said to him: ’lf your case ever
comes before the pardon board the
Judge and myself will probably be
asked what we know about the case.'
That is all that was said about a pay j
don. I said to Percy on that occa
sion that when he felt like telling the,
truth about the murder of Mrs. Welch
he should Ist me know, and about 5
o’clock that afternoon he sent word
that he wanted to tell all about It.

"I did not.”
* Attorney Kennedy made another ef
fort to show that Capt. McDonnell had
received a pawn ticket for Mrs.
Welch’s diamond ring from John Post,
son of the murdered woman, renewing
the unsuccessful attempt he had made
when Post was on the stpnd. The
captain had testified that he had
turned the ticket over to Pout along
with other personal effects of his
mother.
"Did that pawn ticket come Into
your possession a second time?"
queried Kennedy.
Defense Balked Again.
Mr. Grose objected and the court
ruled the question out.
"I claim that this witness had an
other motive, outside of his line of
duty, In obtaining a confession from
this defendant," insisted Kennedy.
"I ask that counsel’s remark he

Grose, with some heat.
“It is so ordered," promptly ruled
