THE MOR?TCTG OKEGOXIAN. FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1907. 3 DEFINING THE LI IN HERMANN CASE Judge Makes Important Ruling Against Ex-Land Com missioner. INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY lefcnse Holds Conspiracy and Her (iiann's Complicity in Heals Must Be Proved Hermann's Princi pal Hope of Acquittal Lost. O R EGO VI A N NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington. D. C April 18. Binger Her mann's case did not go to final argument today as expected, the entire day being consumed by arguments of counsel re garding prayers for instructions to the Jury. The Government, presented 13 prayers and Justice Stafford heard argu ments for and against them, withholding his decision. Mr. Worthington offered 20 prayers for the defense. The jury was excused until tomorrow morning and the suinmlng-up arguments will not begin until that time. It is now thought the eae will not go to the jury until next week. Prayers ot Defense. In substance prayers offered by the defense set forth that there is no evidence that tenda to show that Hermann waa connected in any way with the Hyde Benson land conspiracies: that, in order to convict, the jury must find the fol lowing facts: 1. That one or more of the conspira cies alleged exisited: 2. That the defendant was in some way connected with one-or more of them; 3. That there was something in the hooks destroyed that would have tended to show this connection and. 4. That he destroyed the books to keep secret such connection. Judge's Significant Ruling. There was also extended discussion of the definition to be given the word fraudulent" ' In .the final char to the jury by Justice Stafford. About half the prayers submitted by counsel for the defense were ruled out: In one of his rulings Justice Ktafrord significantly remarked that, "if Hie defendant destroyed the letter toots In order to destory his private letters and I" so dolnj destroyed official record s well, he could be found guilty under the Indictment." Leaves Jury Little Latitude. It having been brought out in evidence that sortie letters copied in Hermann's private book pertained absolutely to Land Ofllce business, while numerous others combined official matter with the ?er sonal. it would seem that the jury will not have very wide latitude when It comes to review the evidence. Hermann's principal ' hope of acquittal Is based on his ability to show that he had no knowledge of what letters were copied In hts books and that in destroying the hooks ho believed they contained nothing except personal correspondence. But. If tire-Jury refuses to accept Hermann's dis tinction between private and official cor respondence, his chances will be sllra Indeed. DUBOIS PLAYING POLITICS Continues Attacks on Borah and An Klcs for Labor Vote. ORKGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, "Washington, April IS. Senator Dubois Is not making as great progress with bis anti-Borah press r.torles as he did t the outset. The Washington paper to which his statement was furnished last night saw that it was a political hoost for Mr. Dubois, adroitly concocted in turn a dirty political trick, and re fused to print it. Air. Dubois has been very active, however, among Washing ton correspondents, and has succeeded in getting a number of stories printed whlrh are intended to show up Mr. Borah In a bad light. His manifest pur pose, aside from helping Moyer, Hay wood and Pettibone. is to make it ap pear that Idaho made a mistake when it refused to retain him in the Senate. For his attacks on Mr. Borah, Mr. Pubols has called down on his head the utmost contempt of the administration, for, while the administration is not go ing to shield any guilty man. It at the same time will not countenance such underhanded trickery as has been re sorted to by Idaho"s retired Senator. To one correspondent to whom he furnished his statement last night, Mr. Dubois practically admitted he was playing politics pure and simple. ' and tliat ins object in attacking Mr. Borah was to gain favor with the labor ele ment In the hope that it would assist lilin in his tight against Senator Hey luirn, two years hence. Ho intends to Identify himself with the Haywood l'etttbone element, and make a cam paign for the Senate on the labor issue. It is probable he will relegate Mormon. Ism to the background. RUEF TRIAL IS POSTPONED Ach' Illness the Cause Dinan At tack's Captain Mooney. SAX FRANCISCO, April 18. The seri ous illness of Attorney Henry Ach, ne cessitated an adjournment of the Ruef trial this morning. Mr. Ach was taken with violent pains yesterday afternoon during the cross-examination of the tales men and had to retire temporarily from tliecase. He is suffering from severe ptomaine poisoning supposed to be the result of partaking of a hearty meal of tnu&selr. The report this morning from the l.ano Hospital Is that he is slowly re covering. The arraignment of Louis Glass, general manager of the Pacltlc States Telephone ("oniparcy. was postponed for one week in J ud ge Iwlor's court today with the con sent of the District Attorney's office. The same action was taken In the case of A. K. Detweiler, the Home Telephone mag nate, whose whereabouts Sheriff O'Neill again reported himself unable to discover. Charges were today filed with th Tollce Commissioners against Potlca Captain Mooney. Chief Dtnan pre ferred the charges, basing them op vio lation of rule 33 of the regulations, which forbids any police officer mak ing any statement reflecting on any niembor of the Department until such charges have been passed upon by the Commissioners. In his complaint. Chle Dinan says that on April 13 Captain Mooney. made various statements con cerning the Police Commissioners and other members of the Police- Depart ment which might tend to create a feeling of ill will and animosity among ttio men. On that date. Captain Mooney stated that to his positive knowledge the Police Commissioners as they at present stand were appointed for a pur pose; that the Department Is reeking with corruption, and that in his own company he knew that fully half his men were corrupt. HEAR COTTON MEN'S WOE Southern Manufacturers Tell Com mission East Is Favored. WASHINGTON, April 18. Hearing of three cases involving charges of excess ive rates and discrimination upon the part of about 30 railroad companies against cotton manufacturers of the South began today before the Interstate Commerce Commission. AU the com plaints allege unjust and discriminatory rates on cotton goods shipped to China and Japan. It is alleged that the railroads favor the Eastern cotton mills in their freight rates to Pacific Coast terminals on goods Intended for the Oriental trade. They say they are -compelled to pay a rate of $1.25 per hundred on such goods from points in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, whereas the Eastern manu facturers obtain a much lower rate. The testimony of manufacturers and shippers of cotton goods in the South showed that the difference between the freight rate given them by the railroads and the steamship lines and the rate given to Eastern manufacturers and shippers amounted approximately to 43 cents a bale to China. Tbey contended that was suf ficient to affect seriously the trade of the Southern manufacturers in the Orient, where the consumers of their goods were largely coolies, receiving a wage not ex ceding 10 cents a day, on which the coolie was obliged to maintain himself and his family. It was denied by representatives of the steamship lines that anything approxi mating a definite agreement as to rates was made among them, but each line did announce a rate of JL25 a 100 pounds on cotton goods, which is the rate today. It was stated that competition among the various steamship lines for the carry ing of cotton goods is still active, but no specific instance was given of a cutting of the prevailing rate. Representatives of the steamship-companies stated that prior to the adoption of the $1.25 rate they had carried cotton goods to Japan and China at an absolute loss; and that they were operating their lines today at a loss, although the loss had been decreased by the raising of the rate on cotton goods. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Bryce Speculates on Kesult If Revo lution Had Failed. PHILADELPHIA, 'April 18. James Bryce, Ambassador from Great Britain, in an address at the banquet of the Trans- Atlantic Society of America here tonight, declared that, if America had remained as a colonial ward of England, President Roosevelt would not -have been confronted with such world-important problems as he is now called to solve. Had the countries not been separated, Mr. Bryce said, the development of the United States would have been more gradual. He was of the opinion that slavery would not have endured so long and would have gone, perhaps, without bloodshed. There would have been fewer railroads, less internal strife and conse quently fewer big economic problems to solve, DEATHLY FLORIDA STORM Tug Capsized and Two Persons Are Killed by Wind.

REDUCING NATIONAL DEBT Chancellor Proposes Measure of So cial Reform and Large Decrease In Debt; Higher Tax on Un earned Incomes Suggested. LONDON, April 18. Chancellor of the Exchequer Heabert Asqulth. In an able two hours' speech, today delivered the budget statement. If not rivaling the great financial achievements of Gladstone and Harcourt, it has the merit of exceed ing simplicity. Judging by the debate, the statement will meet with a greater degree of gencsfel approval and less sec tional antagonism than usually falls to the lot of budget statements. The most persistent complaints ema nate from the extreme section of the Labor party, which is disappointed at the postponement of the pension scheme and the absence of any direct relief in the taxation of the working classes. James Kler Hardie calls It a "brutal budget" and declares his belief that the government has no intention of dealing with this question during Its lifetime. That there is some justification for the workers' com plaints may be gathered from the fact that In the lobbies of the House the statement was generally characterized as a "middle class budget." - Reduce Debt Rapidly. Mr. Asquith had the good fortune ot dealing with a year of unusual prosperity In national finances. The national debt is being reduced rapidly, and in this con nection the Chancellor announced that the government held it as an obligation to "reinstate and improve the national credit." Briefly, instead of the es timated deficit of $230,000 for 1906-07. Mr. Asquith has realized a surplus of $26,995,000, while for 1907-08 he estimated the surplus of $17, 175.000. His proposals are not for a reduction In direct taxation, but provide relief from the burden of the income tax by prefer ential treatment of earned Incomes be low $10,000 a year to the extent of 6 cents for every $5. To compensate for the loss from this measure he proposes that the death duties be increased. Old Age Pensions Promised. The Chancellor promised an old-age pension scheme for next year and sets aside $7,500,000 for this purpose. . The unusually brief debate was devoid of any particularly interesting feature. Most of the speakers complimented the Chancellor on his able speech and the Conservatives had little criticism to offer. Austin Chamberlain, Liberal Unionist, declared Mr. .Asquith had disclosed how limited were the resources of taxation under the present system and how inad equate the present basis of taxation to provide means for the reforms which all parties desired to see undertaken. James Ramsey MacDonald, Labor and Socialist member, voiced the disappoint ment of the Labor party at the -failure to introduce a pension scheme, and de clared the relief from the Income tax would benefit only the middle classes. John E. Redmond and other National ists said privately that they were dissat isfied that there was no change in indirect .taxation, which presses very heavily upon Ireland. Makes Millionaires Squirm. Whitelaw Reid, the American Ambas sador, listened to the budget statement from a seat in the gallery near that oc cupied by the Prince of Wales. There was an amusing Incident while Mr. Asquith was explaining the super-tax on death duties. Herbert H. Raphael and Alfred Mond, two members of the House of Commons, who are reputed to be mil lionaires, suddenly left their seats and, walked toward the bar of the House. A roar of laughter induced them to stay their flight for a moment. They looked around and smiled uneasily, but they were too overcome with indignation to resume their scats. M here Revenue Increased. Mr. Asquith opened hi5 speech with a brief review of the past vear, pointing out that, with the exception of the stock markets, which suffered from the money stringency, trade at home and abroad had been remarkably flourishing. The Treasury receipts were over $10,000,000 in excess of the estimates, unanticipated death duties accounting for $6,000,000 of this sum. while the balance was made up of increased receipts from the coal duty and the mint. The latter was due to the increased demand for coinage owing to the prosperous state of trade and the large amount of silver, aggregat ing $2,500,000. required for various pur poses in connection with the general elec tion. The latter remark reminded the House- of numerous petitions to annul elections on account of alleged bribery and called for much laughter. Loss on Tea and Alcohol. On the whole, the revenue returns, the Chancellor added, had not shown great elasticity and in view of the undoubted prosperous state of trade they were dis tinctly disappointing. The reduction in the tea duty In the last budget had been followed by increased consumption amountingto 4,500.000 pounds. The revenue from tobacco had realized expectations and there had been a progressive decline in the revenue from the alcohol group since 1S99 until last year. There were signs of a definite reaction and .the pres ent year had furnished an increase of $2,470,000 In these receipts. Reduction In National Debt. Turning to the fiscal year 1907-8 the Chancellor estimated the expenditure at J7O3.785.00O. a reduction of IS.320.000." com pared with 1906-7. On the existing basis or taxation, the revenue: for the forth coming year was estimated at $720,950,000, showing an estimated surplus of $17,165,000. Discussing the liabilities of the state, the Chancellor announced that the per manent reduction of the national debt In the course of 1906-7 amounted to $65,570. 000. Further reduction of the national debt, declared Mr. Asquith, was the para mount duty of- the government, but -behind all that was the unconquered ter ritory of social reform. Plan for Old Age Pensions. "I am not a Socialist." said he, "but there Is nothing that appeals so loudly and imperiously as the possibilities of so cial reform." The government's minis ters, according to the Chancellor, re garded old age pensions as the most serious and urgent of ail the demands of social reform. It was their intention to lay a firm foundation for this reform. The sum of $7,500,000 was set aside in the budget for these pensions. Continuing, the Chancellor said that. If these objects, namely, the strengthening of the National credit and the creation of a fund for social reform, were to. be carried out, he could not do anything In volving a permanent diminution .of the revenue. He was satisfied that a further reduction in the duty on tea by 2 cents would not .benefit the consumer and be. WORTH SAVING. Hera is a simple prescription, as given by an eminent authority on Kidney diseases and Rheuma tism: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargoa, one onnce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful alter each meal and at bedtime. A well-known local druggist is authority that these ingredients are harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking well In a bottle. - He also states that he has been advised by many of his patrons that this prescription has a peculiar heal ing and soothing effect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary struc ture, often overcoming the worst forms of Backache and Bladder weakness in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and relieve Rheumatism. did not propose to make any change this year In direct taxation. He intended to deal with the income tax incidence, which in its present shape, worked unjustly. The scheme must be one which, without destroying the productive character of the tax. would differentiate between earned and unearned Incomes. Earned in comes under $10,000 a year would here after only pay 18 cents, while the exist ing tax of 24 cents In the pound sterling would remain on unearned incomes. How Fund Will Be Provided. In conclusion, the Chancellor said that, after making all reductions, he had a dis posable surplus of $9,165,000 and he pro posed to keep $1,665,000 for emergencies. The remaining $7,500,000 would be invested In the sinking fund and set aside for old age pensions next year. He estimated that during the year the National debt would be reduced by $85,000,000 and that the nucleus of a fund for the honorable relief of necessitous old age would be comme'need. In addition to this $7,500,000 set aside, there would be $3,750,000 of un collected arrears of this year's income tax. making a total of $11,250,000. The Chancellor relied confidently on further economy, in expenditure and counted upon the support of the House and the gov ernment in this direction. COLONIES STAND BY MOTHER Wish Voice in Imperial Affairs. Laurlcr Speaks for Canada. LONDON, April 18. The Colonial Conference discussed questions con cerning; its constitution and considered a draft of a resolution drawn up by the Earl of Elgin, the Colonial Secretary. The conference also considered two res olutions from Australia, the first Invit ing the Colonial Secretary to frame a scheme under which the permanent stair of the Colonial Office would be en abled to acquire intimate knowledge of the colonies, and the second urging the desirability of the colonies being repre sented on the Imperial Council of De fense. It was explained respecting the latter that It was intenued to provide a means for a more effective discussion of ques tions relating to the Empire. It was learned from another source that Lord Elgin's resolution indicates the creation of a new permanent department, pre sumably at the Colonial Office, whose special duty it will be to look after questions of general Imperial interest, carrying on the work between the col onial conferences, which will be bold every four years. This Is understood to be the result of a compromise. The Premiers have expressed general dissatisfaction with the secrecy main tained concerning the discussions, and tha methods of publishing the proceed ings of the conference. The Conservative party gave vent to a tremendous display of enthusiasm in welcoming the Colonial Premiers to the banquet tonight. There were 1600 guests, including A. J. Balfour, the late Premier, and all the leadens- of the party. The floor was carpeted with a huge Union Jack, covering 20.000 square feet, and a large imperial crown made of flowers. 33 feet in circumference, wa? suspended from the roof. The banquet became the oc casion for a demonstration in favor of preferential treatment for the colonies, and It was notable for a long letter from Joseph Chamberlain, dilating upon the importance of this imperial movement. . Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Can ada, denied with some warmth the re ports that Canada would turn to the United States if Great Britain rejected her proffer of preferential treatment- He declared Canada was on better terms with the United States than ever before, but that in time of distress she would stan,d by the mother country. The Ca nadians had built their harbors, the Premier said, to keep their trade flow ing, not- north and south, but east and west. TWO KIXGS EMBRACE OX YACHT Great Martial Display at Meeting of Edward and Victor. GABTA, Italy. April 18. The British royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with King Edward and Queen Alexandra on board, arrived here at about 9:30 this morning from Valetta, Island of Malta, escorted by the British armored cruisers Suffolk and Lancaster. King Edward was received by King Victor Emmanuel, who was on board the Italian royal yacht Tri nacria, surrounded by 13 Italian warships and 12 torpedo-boats. The usual salutes were exchanged and hearty cheers greeted the British King from the people ashore and the sailors on board the warships. The weather, which has been stormy re cently, cleared to some extent, and the meeting of the Kings took place .under more favorable auspices than had been anticipated. The two Kings embraced each other re peatedly when they met on board the Trinacrla, and King Victor - Emmanuel kissed Queen Alexandra's hand. The Mayor of Gaeta sent Her Majesty a bou quet of roses with a card bearing the words, "Devotion and Admlratioo to the Most Powerful Queen In the World." A luncheon on board the Trinacrla fol lowed. It was mainly attended by mill tary and naval officers, the only local of ficial Invited being General del Rosso, commander of the fort of Gaeta. The presence of Marine Minister Mirabello and the commanders of so many men of war before one of the chief strongholds in the Mediterranean accentuated the martial character of the repast- The -toasts ex changed were simply expressions of friendship between Italy and Great Britain. The two sovereigns conferred privately at some length, after which the English ruler left on the royal yacht for Naples and King Victor Emmanuel returned to Rome. NAPLES, -April 18. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with the King and Queen of England on board, arrived here this evening.
