Representative Hall, delegated by the
committee on banking and currency to
write a favorable report on the Cooper
bill to tax greenbacks, said concerning
the bill: I regard the measure as at
most sigmfiauit one. The anxiety of
banks to get hold of greenbacks has
been so great that a fYaudulent practice
has grown up. A package of green
backs is passed from bunk to bank
ahead of the tax assessorand in each
bank he exempts the same package of
greenbacks. The Coojier bill will put
an end to the practice. "

llees opened the debate with nn argu
ment in favor of the measure. He spoke
of the Walker tariff bill of 1M0 as a
"blessed and glorions memory, " and re
gretted exceedingly that this bill did not
more closely rert-inble it. He vigor
ously defended the income tax feature
and the free wool clause, and as vizor-
' ously condemned the sugar bonntv and
I th reciprocity features of the Mckinley
, inn, me lormer ltemg characterized -as
a -jumble and a frand. " The latter was

debate. A bill prohibiting pool selling

bia was passed. Allison concluded his

his argument for the Wilson bill. He

made by both sides.

Mexican mints, which coin silver dol
lars for owners of silver nt only nominal
expense, amounting practically to free

The 'Industrial Army" which organ
ized at San Francisco to march Eastand
join Coxey at Washington, met with a
cold reception at Oakland. Camp was
pitched m the outskirts, and the citizens
fed them for a day. A request to the
railroad to transport the men to Sacra
mento was denied by the railroad, but
afterward the company agreed to fur
nish box cars for the men. The army
refused to ride in the box cars and asked
for passenger coaches. The second day
of the encampment the city officials de
cided to get rid of the army, which was
becoming dangerous, and they were or
dered to move on. Finally the railroad
supplied a special train of box cars, anc
the army was rMven into the cars ant"
hauled to Sacramento.

CONFLICTING TESTIMONY.
Witnesses In the Heath Trial" Flatly
Contradict Each Other.
The defense in the Heath case closed
and the prosecution immediately began
its task of proving that the witnesses
for the'other side had told everything
but the truth.
The most peculiar feature of this
whole trial is the ease with which the
testimony is refuted. It does not seem
to make any difference if the witness in
for the defense or the prosecution. All
the other side asks for is a day or so and
np bobs a witness who swears that what
the other man or woman swore to is ab
solutely cntrne.
The defense closed with some spectac
ular testimony.
' The former husband of Mrs. Palmer,
who testified that she met ReelB. Terry
driving furiously sway from the scene
cf the mcrder, was on the stand giving
his wife the lie at every turn. She
swore she had just returned from send
ing him off on the traia when she met
Terry. He swore he was not in Fresno
at all when McWhirter was killed. l"he
defense says it will produce the books
of the witness' employer to prove that
he was not in Fresno at alL and the
prosecution says it will show that the
witness is a perjurer. " .
The prosecution retaliated on the de
fense by introducing a girl whose testi
mony cannot be true unless Superior
Judge Harris has committed the most
flagrant perjury. Harris swore that he
spent the night of the murder at Reel
Terry's house. The girl was the servant
at the -judge's house, and swears ia
effect that he slept in bis own bed at
home that night. -
Witnesses were nest produced by the
defense to impeach Mrs. Palmer's testi
mony. One witness Mrs. Nichols said
Mrs. Palmer told her she had seen the
murder of McWhirter while in a trance
and that she knew the murderers.
Warrants for the arrest of several
witnesses charging theni with perjury
have been issued.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Friday counsel began summing up. Dis
trict Attorney Short opened for the
prosecution. He was followed bv Tup-
per and Foote for the defense. Grove
L. Johnson closed for the prosecution.
