WASHINGTON, Nov. lQ.-With
but few exceptions the interests af
fected by schedule "A" of the Ding

Chemicals, Oils and Paints, do not
desire any changes in the rates of
duty now operative. This was indi
cated today at the first hearing for
consideration for a revision of the
tariff held before the house commit
tee on ways and means. The hearings
are preliminary to the taking up of
the question at the extra session tf
Congress. There were few requests
for increases in the present rates of
0uty. A strong advocate of lower
tariff was Albert Plant, who drafted
the schedule for medicinal chemicals
for the Wilson bill. Plaut said the
duties are now practically prohibi

chemicals now paying 125 per cent ad
valorem should be reduced 15 per

The Decision Was Rendered bv
Judges Grosscup, Baker and Sea
man and Sustains Former Ruling
of U. S. District Court on Appeal
CHICAGO, Nov! 10.-The United
States court of appeals here today
denied a rehearing in the case of the
government against the Standard
Oil Company, in which the fine of
$29,240,000 was assessed , by Judge
The dentil ts another defeat for the
government in the famous case, and
according to the counsel lot the gov
ernment. Is a hard blow for the inter
state commerce act. 1
The decision was rendered by
Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman
and sustains the former ruling re
manding the case to the United
States district court for retrial. ' "
It is believed that Attorney-Gen
eral Bonaparte will take the case be
fore the supreme court of the United
States on a writ of certiorari.
This was the second time the
United States circuit court of appeals
had acted in this case. The case was
originally taken to the appellate court
by the Standard Oil Company, after
Judge K. Ms Landis, in the district
court, had fined the company $29,
240,000, following a trial replete with
sensations.
A jury in Judge Landis' court had
found the Standard Oil guilty of ac
cepting rebates from the Chicago &
Alton railroad. The oil company had
beer; indicted by two special federal
grand juries on 6423 counts, charging
violations of the Elkins anti-trust
law," which prohibits the granting or
acceptance of rebates on oil or other
products.
MR. CANNON HAPPY.
Has an Old Time Jollification With
His Home Friends.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-r"Uncle Joe"
Cannon came to town and had an
old-time with the advertisers at the
Old Time Home Week ' Corn stalks
and pumpkins, surrounded by men in
jumpers and jeans, Speaker Cannon
cut loose and helped whoop it up for
prosperity. "Your Uncle Joe", who
certainly never was in finer fettle,
proceeded in limpid Biblical speech
to touch Up all the public men, issues
and institutions that seemed to re
quire attention, and then to cap the
climax, drew an imaginary . bow
across imaginary fiddlestrings while
he sang the refrain of an "old fashion
ed country song. ..
The speaker had fired a shot at
Rockefeller and two shots at Bryan
and had run the gamut several times
from politices to poetry when, gazing
with '. misty eyes on the pumpkins
and the cornstalks ' he dropped into
a -rhapsody of the farm days of an
other generation. In -rythmic prose
he sketched a picture of. a bobsled
crowded with boys and girls beneath
Buffalo robes, speeding over the
snowy rooads to the cabin of a dis
tant farmer, there to trip the lancers
and moncytmisk : all night on the
puncheon floor. .
"How well I still can hear the
voice of the fiddler, now dead and
gone, for the fiddlers sang as well
ss played in these old days," ex
claimed Uncle Joe. "How well I can
hear him tingfng that old song:
O, Lee, Lee, Lo, O, Lee, Lee, Lo.
My Dear Honey, Lee, Lee, Lo, O,
Lee, Lee, Lo.
I love you more than money. '
CONFESSION RECORDS.
Phonograph Being Put To Good Use
in Yindy City.
CHICACO, Nov. 10,-That trrue-
some figure of speech, "Listening to
a voice from the grave," has become
a startling reality. y
Any unbeliever to verifv this state
ment has only to visit the office of
Coroner Hoffman sometime in the
near future and hear the voices of
murderers making their last denials
or detailed confessions, after they
have paid the penalty for their mis
deeds.
These voices of the dead are to
become a portion of the county rec
ords. ' They will take their olace
among the musty files of the coron
er's office and when necessary may
be used in court. The verbal state
ment of a man who is dead seldom
finds its way into court, except as
repeated by another, but this is one
of the promises of the new system.
The phonographs already have been
used in one important murder ease.
that of Mrs. Fannie Thompson, who
was strangled in a Michigan Avenue
rooming house.
The . story of Luman C. Mann, ac
cused of being the mysterious Ray
mond; who rented the room in which
the woman was murdered, has been
transferred to one of the records and
may be heard amona- the other
voices which the coroner is preserv
ing in phonographs. I

SERIOUS CHARGES.
NEW YORK, Nov. lO.-What was
asserted to be the practical maroon
ing of 3000 men in the wild regions
of Florida and their detention at hard
labor for a period of several months
waa dealt with at length today before
Judge Hough and : a jury in the
United States Circuit Court in the
course of the government's Cass
against the employes and agents of
Henry M. ' Flagler's Florida East
Coast aRilroad for an alleged viola
tion of the Statute prohiibting peon
age slavery and enforced servitude.
The prosecution in its outline, of the
case alleged that the men had been
allured to Florida by promises " of
high wages. It asserts they were fed
on nothing but stale bread and bo
logna sausage, and that when they
refused to work or attempted to es
cape they were brutally beaten.

Judge Hough Gives as Reason For

Crime Not Extraditable,
NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Bail was
denied O W. Morse, who has been
sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment
at hard labor, at the closing of the
United States circuit court of appeals
today and it now seems certain that
the former multi-millionaire must re
main in the Tombs Prison at least
until December J next, when the ar
gument on a writ of error that has
been granted him may come up. The
judges stated briefly that as the trial
judge had refused to admit him to!
bail, the reviewing judges were not
prepared on , papers - submitted to
make any other disposition of the
motion. Morse had been hopeful of
gaining his release from the Tombs
today and the denial of bail came as
a hard blow. ' Judge Hough gave as
his reason for raising the bail that as
the offense was not extraditable and j ling is carried on to be nuisances,
as the prisoner was worth $22,000,000 ( The offense is punishable by $1000
it would be easy for hira to provide fine and the abatement of the nuis
