BRITISH COLUMBIA
TIMBER CASE
DECIDED
Plaintiffs Get the Money and :
Defendants Get the
Land
: Copies of the decree of the court
In the case of I. H. Bingham, L. M.
Travis and L. R. Edmunson, plain
tiffs, against J. W. Shumate, William
JlcCulloch and Young & Avery, de
fendants, in the court of British Co
lumbia, were received hero today by
mall by the Interested parties.
The decision in brief holds that
the charges made by the defendants
against J. V. Shumate, as trustee
of their timber land interests. wre
not proven; that tho sale made by
Shumate, as trustee, should bo con
summated, the defendants receiving
SIO per acre for the land. In short,
Shumate and the syndicate of pur
chasers with which he is interested
get the land, and Bingham, Travis
and Edmunson get their money for It
al the price stated above. Shumate's
counter claim for $20,000 damages is
oh allowed.
The decision of tho court reads In
part as follows:
"It looks to mo like an appeal lo
rrodulity to urge that a man wit Ix a
physique and admitted ability of ex
Senator Bingham, or that attorneys
of high statiiB of the plaintiffs, VA
n'unson and Travis, should have been
Induced to put their hands to the
document in question by an artifice
it coercion of the defendants who.
lth deference, did not strike inu
with being either physically or men
tally equipped to cope with them in
transactions of the nature i:i dis
l't'te. ' It appears to be sometimes over
looked that in this country fraud is
dealt with as fraud, and nut a mere
word to be ut upon the -..leadings
and records. When charged it must
be clearly proven, and when proven
Ihe effective remedy is applied. In
tils case tho evidence is conflicting
wl a critical review of It would
ix'i've no good purpose. The plain
tiffs must hold to this bargain into
which 1 find that they de'i'nerately
inlered. The action Is therafoVo dis
lilfsed with costs."
The court further made an order
Greeting the plaintiffs to execute
deeds to the Fields Bros., of Victoria,
H- C, and to sell tho property at the
rate of $10 per acre, amounting in
'he aggregate to the sum of $140,
000. Messrs. Bingham, Edmunson and
Travis stated today that they have
a purchaser who will pay consider
ably more for this tract of cedar
which Is considered one of the host
tracts of timber upon the Pacific
coast, and they will appeal this case
lo the supreme" court of Canada, in
further effort to set aside the sale
fade by Shumate, as trustee.

What does the greatest damage is
the cold rain, aud If wo can escape
that thlB spring we are sure or a
full crop, and I believe that we are
practically out or danger at. this
time."
. , While not directly Interested In
other fruit crops. Mr. Tlllson has re
ports Indicating "' cherries, peach
es and pears have been somewhat
damaged by the frost, but even with

Formal Speech for
Majority ,
Washington, April 21. At open
ing of the hist, day of the Canadian
reciprocity debate ill llie house, Mc
: Call, of Massachusetts, declared that,
j the farmers of the United Slates
: had been pushed forward to bblo
the real interest op.pted to ttio
agreement. ' MrCall s'a.id he spoi.e
, In behalf of all republicans who
I were In favor of the measure, lie
ridiculed the "eulogies upon the
I fanner." which he said had rhar
1 acterlzed a majority of the speeches
: against, reciprocity,
i "The farmer Is not the sad-eyed
' monstrosity he has been pnlnted in
this house, declared the speaker.
This afternoon. Underwood, of
Alabama, spoke on yciprocltv. He
said:
"For GO years. tho repub
lican party has maintained the pol
icy or excluding ns far as It has ben
able, cninpeiitivo products from oth
er countries. In Ihe beginning this
was Inaugurated with the express
declaration that It. was Intended to
develop new Industries until they'
were strong enough to stand alone
and face In tho open the markets of
the world and I he rivalry of our
protective competitors, but the
greed for gains 'has driven the ad
vocates of Ibis theory far beyond
the position Ihev maintained at its
Inception.
"Thero is today hardly a grent
American Industry that is not ex
porting its surplus products to the
open markets of the world and sell
ing them In free competition with
the nianulaeiiirers and crops of our
foreign competitors. '
"Wo would be unrivaled masters
of production and Industry In every
land, where free competition can b
obtained. If we would but strike off
the shackles that bind us to the
dead and unnecessary economic sys- i
teiu maintained by tho republican
party, that creates also standards
and wasteful conditions lit. home."
Mr. Underwood contended that the
nation Bhoulil turn from these stan
dards, carefully adjusting the lnws
to meet new conditions without ser- '
Ions Injury to capital or lubor In
order lo reduce the cost of living at
home and be prepared to dispose of
surplus products to Insure stability
of prices and employment to labor.
"Tho democratic party," he con
tinued, "does not Intend to aban
don the custom houses, but, favors
a policy of levying income duties for
revenue only lit rates that will not
destroy fair iitid honest competition
In the home market. I say this bill
marks an era III tho economic life
of the nation. Why? Not that the
Immediate results will bo far-reuch-Ing.
but because It takes ono step
in the right direction; n step nway
rrom the exclusive protective policy,
a step toward an honest Competitive
policy." .
in 'reviewing recent tarirr legisla
tion. Air. Ilndorwood said: "Our
standpat feimhllcans wero responsi
ble ror having their reciprocity
agreement now heLre the congress."
The Payne-Adrlch tariff bill he
characterized as a "gold brick that
glittered without and was fniso
metal within."
That no amendments will bo al
lowed to the reciprocity bill was in
dicated late today when one offer
ed by Representative Marti, of South
Jkikota, to put rii-sh moats on tho
rree list, was defeated overwhelming
ly. Dnlzell called the ngrement a bung

it had been made without authority
