MILD ADVICE FAILS
TO CONVINCE SERVIA
Austrian Troops Expected to
Begin Moving Shortly.
Beftla, March 20.—A tent-official
communication appearing in the 'o
loKiui Gazette describes the situation
between Austria-Hungary and Servia
as most pessimistic in the matter of
maintenance of peace, but It is hope
ful that the conflict, should one arise,
may be localized. The communka
tion says*
"While attempts have been made in
several quarters to aid a solution of
the crisis a contrary course is being
followed In Servia. Mild advice is not
likely to serve any purpose at Eel
grade severe pressure from the pow
ers, especially Russia, Is necessary to
bring the Servians to reason. Thi
construction placed by Great Britain
on the Russian note calling an inter
national conference on the Boanian
Herzegovluan question serves only to
stiffen Servia's backbone for resist
ante. The Russian proposals are not
calculated to serve the ends of peace.
The military situation is so critical
that perhaps only a few days will pass
before Austrian troops march into
Servia.
"It is questionable whether the hon
est endeavors of some of the powers
yet will succeed in preventing an out
break of war, but pourparlers between
various nations lead to the hope that
the conflict may be localized."
J. C. STUBBS ON THE STAND
Harriman Traffic Manager Testifies in
Government Case.
Chicago, March 20.—The advent of
J. C. Stubss, traffic manager of the
Harriman lines, broke the monotony
of the Chicago hearing before Special
Examiner Williams of the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the so called
Harriman merger. The line of exam
ination, however, did not differ from
that pursued with previous witnesses
and the government continued to ac
cumulate evidence of competition
among Western railroads prior to
1901, when the alleged merger went
into effect. Mr. Stubbs read from rec
ords of meetings held prior to 1901,
quoting his own arguments in favor of
plans for reducing or doing away with
competition. That the placing of the
Union •'Pacific, the Southern Pacific
and other roads under one control, the
government contends, was a move to
this end, agreeable to the wishes of
Mr. Btubbs.
Boy Murderer Electrocuted.
Richmond, Va., March 20.—Ben
jamin Gilbert, a white youth of nine
teen, was electrocuted In the peniten
tiary for the murder in Norfolk last
July of his sweetheart, Miss Amanda
Morse. Strenuous efforts were mado
to have the sentence commuted to life
imprisonment, but the governor (tap
cllned to interfere.
MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA, SATCRDAY, MARCH 20, 1909
SENATE OPINION
DIFFERS_WIDELY
Many Changes Lftely to Be
Made in Tariff Bill.
AT VARIANCE ON
LUMBER
senator* ffcfm Maine and Pacific
Northwest Will Resist. Any Reduc
tion of Duty, While Minnesota and
Dakota Members Desire It Put on
Free List—Strong Opposition to In
heritance Tax in Upper House.
Washington, March 20.—That there
V til be a great variety of opinions on
the tariff bill when it reaches the sen
ate is now certain, according to ex
'essions of senators in whose states
ine located the various industries
chiefly affected by the changes of
b' hedules proposed in the house bill.
Reductions on lumber schedules will
be sturdily resisted by Senators Frye
and Hale of Maine and by some of the
senators from the Pacific coast and
iiom the extreme Northwest. Sena
tors from Minnesota and North and
South Dakota, on the other hand, will
make a strenuous effort to secure free
lumber, instead of the mere reduction
of the tariff as proposed by the house
bill.
The proposed inheritance tax will
stoutly resisted and senators will
ive an opportunity to vote upon an
amendment providing for an income
t. x. Free coal and hides also will be
resisted and there Is likely to be a
utrong fight against reductions in the
various iron and steel schedules.
While the general trend of senti
ment among senators favors an in
crease in some of the schedules and
while they generally believe that the
house hab made ample reductions to
satisfy tariff reformers at least one
Republican senator, Mr. Cummins of
lowa, declares that the tariff should
be made still lower and that he will
de everything in his power to obtain
further reductions.
Minnesota Delegation United.
The entire Minnesota delegation has
steadily taken a leading part in advo
eating a reduction in the iron and
st«el schedule and in the procurement
of free coal and free lumber and the
senators from that state will continue
to advocate that course, as well as to
obtain a lower tariff on glass. It is
declared that Minnesota, North Da
kota and South Dakota have nothing
to fear from free lumber, while they
are anxiouB to obtain entrance into
the Canadian market, which now ha
a duty on 'lumber from the United
States. The lumbermen of thes
states hope, by a removal of the duty
on lumber, eventually to obtain a sim
ilar concession from the Canadian gov
ernment and they claim that the price
of their product would not be changed
by a removal of the tariff.
Senator Frye of Maine says that the
removal of the duty from wood pulp
will transfer that Industry to Canada
and states that the 10,000 men now
employed in the wood pulp and paper
business in Maine would be placed in
forced idleness. These industries, he
Bald, represent $70,000,000 In capital.
With free hides he believed the 40 per
cent reduction in the boot and shoe
schedules would be fairly acceptable.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
declared himself in favor of free lum
ber and a tariff on hides and insisted
that the inheritance tax was all right.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
committee on finance, is giving great
attention to the tariff bill and it is
well known that he is fully convinced
that many changes must be made in
order to make the bill acceptable to
the senate.
WEST VIRGINIA LYNCHING
Negro Who Shot Police Officer Strung
Up by Mob.
Elklns, W. Va., March 20.—Joseph
Brown, said to have been an ex-con
vict, who shot and seriously wounded
Chief of Police Scott White at Whit
mcr, near here, was taken from jail
by a crowd of men and lynched.
Brown was hanged upon a telegraph
pole. There was little demonstration.
White, who Is a son of Mayor Wash
ington White of Whitmer, remon
strated with Brown for using offensive
language. Brown drew a revolver and
shot White and then took to the moun
tains. He was followed by a posse of
citizens, captured and placed in Jail.
TOLD BY WIRELESS MESSAGE
United States Transport Ashore at
Entrance to Puget Sound,
Belllnghani, Wash., March 20.—
Fragments of a wireless message were
I picked up here indicating that a ITnitt
ed States transport had gone ashore
near the entrance to Pug**t sound and,
that several lives were lost. No con
frmation can be *»cured.
NO TRACE OF MISSING BOY
De
Father Ready to Pay $10,000
manticd by Kidnappers.
Sharon, Pa.., March 20.—Notwith
standing a rigid search lasting all
night by many officers In Western
Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West
Virginia no trace has yet been found
of the man or men who kidnapped
William Whitla, eight years old, son
of James P. Whitla, a prominent and
Wealthy attorney.
The lad's relatives, some of whom
are millionaires, are making every
possible effort to locate the child and
his abductors. Frank Buhl, the
millionaire iron and steel man, uncle
of the kidnapped boy, has stated he
would spend $100,000 to recover the
boy.
No decision has yet or can be made
regarding the ransom of $10,000 de
manded by the kidnappers for the safe
return of the child. Mr. Whitla imme
dlately compiled with the terms con
tained in the letter received from the
men ir so far as the insertion of :m
advertisement In various papers about
the country Is concerned. The adver
tisement Is to the effect he is willing
to pay the ransom of $10,000, but so
far no word had been received from
the kidnappers as to when and where
this money Is to be paid.
A squad of Pennsylvania state con
stabulary has reached here from Punx
suttwvney, Pa., for the purpose of as
sisting in the search.
BANK ROBBERS HOLD
FuFuLACE IN TERROR
Partially Wreck Buying but
Fail ta Open Sate.
Bald Knob, Ark., March SO.—While
some of their number rode about the
streets discharging their weapons and
holding the populace In terror others
of a band of robbers worked for more
than an hour in an unsuccessful effort
to dvnaniite their way Into the vaun
of the bank at Bald Knob. Th v
abandoned their task after firing near
ly a score of blasts, which demol
ished the outer door of the safe but
without forcing the inner doors.
Mr. Payne announced that genera:
debate on the bill would begin Mon
day.
Mr. Sims (Tenn.) Inquired of tie*
chair the reason for reading the bill
when no one was paying attention.
The chair reminded him that the
rules required such procedure unl s.s
by unanimous consent the reading v'as
dispensed with.
"Then." said Mr. Sims, "to end this
farce I move that the further reading
be dispensed with."
"I object." abouted Mr. 3' io in a
loud voii( an! the eh rk j) eded.
