DEPBCRN BILL IS AGAIN CP
Debate in tha Boom an Qnoitin of 1s
ttrieting rreight Batss.
AGRICULTURAL BILL ALSO CONSIDERED
Mr. Mttlefleld Interested Regarding
the Poller Parsaed la
t'oaaectlon wltfc Appro
prlatloas.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. The agricul
tural appropriation bill was considered In
the house toddy, but the debate turned
principally on the topic of restricting rail
road In the matter of freight rates, the
Hepburn bill forming the basis of the dis
cussion. Mr. Williams (Miss.) said that the
democratic party was committed to views
such as were expressed by the president In
his message to congress.
Consideration of the agricultural bill had
not been concluded when the house ad
journed. Mr. Llttlefleld (Me ) put an Inquiry to
Mr. Wadsworth (N. Y.) in charge of the
bill, regarding the policy to be pursued In
connection with appropriations. He spe
cifically asked If the appropriations were
to be continued at their existing size and
"thereby involve the necessity of Increas
ing taxation in order to get more revenue
or, If appropriations were to be cut down
and thus avoid the necessity for increasing
taxation r
Democratic applause was accorded Mr.
Wadsworth when he replied that he was
In favor of cutting down appropriations
for the army and navy.
Under latitude of debate, Mr. Scott
(Kan.) discussed the question of discrim
inating rates by railroads and said that
there had been a general demand from
the agricultural section of Kansas for re
lief. Regelating Railroad Rates.
Ha called, attention to the Hepburn bill,
regulating rates charged by railroads which,
with the exceptln of a few details, he said,
fully met the demand for remedial legisla
tion. Mr. Williams (Mass.) Inquired If the
present Interstate Commerce commission
had done anything wh,lch Justified their
being legislated out of office.
A general debate followed on the railway
rate question. As spokesman for his party
on the floor, Mr. Williams said that the
democratio party was committed without
addition or subtraction to the recommenda
tions of President Roosevelt In his recent
message.
The appropriation for the free distribu
tion of seeds by the Agricultural depart
ment furnished the text for humorous ap
peals by Messrs. Sheppard (Texas) and
Candler (Miss.) for its continuance. Each
convulsed the house with quotations from
scripture to show that congress had di
vine right and authority to make the dis
tribution. Mr. Bell (Cat.) made a vigorous speech
In favor of railroad rate revision.
' Sinister Motives Ascribed.
Mr. Bell ascribed sinister motives to the
use of certain language In the preparation
of the law creating the Interstate Com
merce commission, which provoked a spir
ited discussion between himself, Mr. Mann
(III.) and Mr. Williams (Miss ), the last
named asserting It as his belief that rail
road Influence was felt In the senate at
the time the so-called Cullom bill, estab
lishing the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, was substituted by the senate con
ferees for the so-called Reagan bill. The
latter bill, he declared, would have ful
filled the. .requirements..
The present so-called Hepburn bill Mi.
Mann said was the product of the brain of
Mr. Hepburn himself.
Mr. Bell expressed the hope that Mr. Hep
burn when became to explain the blllwouln
prove th.-t there was nothing sinister In Its
language; At present, however, he as
serted, the bill was so worded as to what
should constitute a reasonable rate that It
was susceptible or a double meaning. Every
hint of vagueness and indefiniteness, he
contended, ought to be removed. He de
funded the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, which he' said had been held up to
public scorn and ridicule.
If, he said In. closing, an opportunity
should be afforded to amend the Hepburn
bill In some particulars, It would receive
the support of the house without regard to
political division and thereby render effec
tive the views of the president on the sub
ject. -
After Mr. Douglass (N. T.) had spoken In
favor of ship subsidies, the agricultural hilt
wai read for amendment. An amendment
was agreed to striking out the appropria
tion for experiments In wireless telegraphy
after which the bill was laid aside.
At 5:1 p. m. the house adjourned until
tomorrow.
ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL PASSES
Senate Modifies Provision Referring
to Aaalsrament of Retired Men,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 36.-The senate to
day passed the army appropriation bill,
after modifying the provision concerning
the assignment of retired army officers to
active, service with militia organizations.
The effect ef the change is to relieve Gen
eral ' Miles from Its application. ' Mr. Gal
linger and others criticised the amendment
regulating the sale of army transports,
Have been suffering- from Impure Blood
for many years, having Boils and other
Eruptions. Having heard of S. S. S. I de
cided to try it, and am glad to say that it
has done me a great deal of good. I intend
to continue to use it, as I believe it to be
the best Blood Medicine upon the market
Cleveland, Tenn. W. K. Deters.
. For over fifteen years I have suffered
are or less from Impure Blood. About a
ear ago I had a boil appear on my leg
below the knee, which was followed by
three more on my neck. I saw S. S. 8.
advertised and decided to try it. Aftet
taking three pottles all Boils disappeared,
and I nave not been troubled any since.

Newark, Ohio, May aj, 1903.
From childhood I had been bothered
with bad blood, skin eruptions and boils.
I had boils ranging from five to twenty in
number each season. The burning ac
companying the eruption was terrible.
S. S. 8. seemed to be lust the medicine
needed in nvy case. It drove out all impu
rities and bad blood, giving me perma
nent relief from the skin eruption and
boila. This has been ten years ago, and I
have never had a return of the disease.

claiming that the use of government ves
sels forced unfair competition upon the
owners of private vessels. Mr. Hsle con
demned the operation of the general staff
system In the army and said he would op
pose any effort to establish a similar sys
tem in the navy.
Mr. Smoot presented the certificate ef
election of George Sutherland as a senator
from Utah.
Mr. Perkins supported the amendment re
quiring congressional endorsement before
selling transports, saying that If It should
be necessary to buy In time of emergency
high prices would have to be paid. In the
Spanish war more had been paid, he said,
for transports than they were worth.
Mr. Alger, who was secretary of war at
that time, warmly said: "I would like a
bill of particulars. We bought no ships at
that time except upon the advice of the
best ship builders, and I feel that the busi
ness end of the transaction was properly
cared for."
Mr. Perkins disclaimed any Intention to
reflect on the War or Navy departments.
The amendment was agreed to, as was also
the amendment striking out the house pro
vision prohibiting the use of private ves
sels' In the transportation of government
supplies to the Philippines.
In connection with the amendment pro
viding for succession to the office of as
sistant chief of the record and pension of
fice, Mr. Cockrell offered the following:
"Officers holding permanent appointments
In the grades of major and lieutenant
colonel In the military aecretary's depart
ment shall be entitled to promotion In
the order of their standing In their re
spective grades to any vacancies that may
occur In the grades next above them In
said department."
The amendment was accepted and the
amendment as the amendment waa agreed
to. The senate then reverted to consid
eration of the house provision regulating
the pay of retired officers assigned to active
service and Mr. Lodge read the following
telegram from the governor of Ohio.
CObUMBl'8. Ohio. Jan. 6. Hon. H. C.
Lodge. Washington, D. C. Ohio deeply In
terested In army appropriation bill.
If It Is desired to humiliate Gen
eral Miles, in which we have no
sympathy here. It should not In
clude splendid army officers on retired list
wno are rendering spiendia service to na
tional suard in different states. We are
specially favored In Ohio and deeply Inter
ested. MYRON T. HERRICK.
Mr. Cockrell expressed confidence that
there had been no Intention to humiliate
General Mile. The amendment was modi
fled at Mr. Lodge's suggestion and was
passed as follows:
Retired officers of the army above the
grade of major shall, when hereafter us-
slgned to active duty In connection with
the organized militia In the several states
and territories upon the request of the
governor tncreot, receive tneir run reurea
pny. and also commutation of quarters
unless government quarters are avallablo
and shall rectlvo no further pay or allow
ances. Provided further that a lieutenant
colonel so assigned shall receive the full
pny and allowances of a major en the ac
tive list.
An amendment appropriating 96,000 for
the extension of the cable from Valdes to
Seward, Alaska, offered by Ms. Proctor On
behalf of the committee on military affairs
was accepted. The army bill then passed.
The senate then at 3:46 p. m. went Into
executive session and at 4.47 p. m. ad
journed. I

TRYING WISEMAN JURY CASE
Man Accused of Attempting to Influence a
Verdict Gets Hearing.
WHAT DID BUCKLEY SAY TO ANTHES
Point on Which Case Tarns Is Belac
Slowly Developed Before .lodge
Vlasoahaler Despite n Wit
ness Who Is Refractory.
Judge Vlnsonhaler was engaged Thursday
In hearing testimony In the case of State
against William Buckley for alleged fraud
ulently seeking to prejudice the action of a
Juror In a case on trial In the district court
In March, 1904. The case was one In which
a young man named Wiseman was charged
with attempted criminal assault. Buckley
Is charged with approaching Charles H.
Anthes, a Juror In the case, and saying to
him that the accused should not go to the
pen, but Should go free; that he was a crip
ple, and the girls Involved were not of repu
table character.
Anthes reported the matter to Judge Day,
who appointed a committee of the Bar as
sociation to Investigate. On the report of
that committee a complaint was issued and
County Attorney Slabaugn nas now brought
the case to trial.
Anthes a Bit Refractory.
Former Attorney General C. J. Smyth
appeared for Buckley, and when he began
to cross-examine Anthes, the latter bris
tled up a bit. He insisted on telling the
circumstances of the conversation with
Buckley as he remembered it, specifically
and sequentially. Smyth, on the other
hand. Insisted on having his questions an
swered straight away. The court sided
with the attorney and sought to save
time by getting Anthes to answer yes or
no. The witness could not do this, he
said, because the attorney was asking the
same question over and over and was try
ing to "hornswoggle'' him. He started to
argue with cour.sel as to the construc
tion and significance of questions, but a
sharp call down from Mr. Smyth and the
court stopped this.
When the defendant's attorney and the
witness drew together again it was de
veloped that Buckley had spoken to Anthes
by request of some other party, and that
when Anthes had said that he waa on
the Wiseman Jury and that the evidence
was too strong against the accused to
allow of him favoring leniency, Buckley
had sold. In effect, that he was sorry he
had spoken to Anthes about It. His at
torney also attempted to show that Buck
ley ha said that ho had been asked to see
two other Jurymen, but now he would not
do so. On this point Anthes was not at all
clear, and the attempt to nail him down
to a definite statement became very tedious.
Story Told by Defense.
The defense put on the stand Jerry La
Fontaln and Anthony J. King, as well as
Buckley himself. LaFontaln told of how a
friend had given him a slip of paper with
the names Anthes, Golden and Murphy on
it and asked him to get Buckley to see the
men all of whom tho latter knew and all
of whom were on the Jury trying the Wise
man case. Buckley, he said, was only asked
to get the men to use their best Judgment.
King testified that Anthes had been drink
ing In his saloon with Buckley n the day
when the conversation took place In which
the alleged attempt was made to unduly
Influence Anthes. The latter denied that he
had drank with Buckley, but when i went
on the stand Buckley also testified . t he
and Anthes had drank toget&r In the sa
loon. Buckley told his story with frankness and
without hesitation. It was to the effect
that he did not know the Wiseman boys or
the girls concerned In the case; that he was
at that time running for councilman and on
request of LaFontaln had promised to
speak to the three men on the Jury panel
In order to get them to use their best Judg
ment in the trial of the case. As soon as
he learned that the case was already on
Snd that the first Juror he saw Anthes
was on the jury hearing the case, also that
Golden and Murphy were on It, he at once
washed his hands of the whole affair.
Arguments Close Case.
Arguments of the county attorney and of
General Smith occupied considerable time.
The prosecutor and his aBslstant, Fitch,
made a strong presentation of the case ot
the state, asserting the evidence clearly
showed an attempt to Influence the Juror,
which had failed only because he was not
susceptible to any kind of Influence.
General Smyth occupied considerable time.
his argument, aa he had In cross-examination,
on the fact that Buckley did not know
either or any of the principals In the Wise
man case; that he had merely undertaken
to ask for a fair consideration of the evi
dence because of the physical condition of
the defendants as told to him by others,
and that before he knew that Anthes or the
other two were then drawn on the Wise
man Jury. . There could have baen no intent.
he said, on Buckley's part, to unduly Influ
ence Anthes, taking all the circumstances
Into consideration.
At the close of the arguments Judge Vln
sonhaler took the case under advisement,
until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, In order
to examine certain authorities quoted by
counsel as applicable to this cause.

Louisiana, Soger Planter Talks of Ef
fect of Lower Tariff on Product.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. James D. Hill,
speaking for the Louisiana sugai planters
before the house committee on ways and
means, today opposed the- proposed reduc
tion of tariff on sugar from the Philippines
to 25 per cent of the Dlngley rates. He
urged the reduction of tariff on Philippine
sugar would Increase the products of the
Islund, where sugar can be grown at a
much less 'cost than In the United States.
Representative Boutell (111.), quoting
from a "newspaper that the only enemy
sugar need fear was th,e tariff tlnkerer and
the reciprocity crank, asked Mr. Hill if he
subscribed to that view. Mr. Hill sa.d, if
not offensive to the committee, he would
say yes.
D. C. Colcock, secretary of the American
Cane Growers' association, and Carman N.
Smith ot Michigan also were heard.
Representative Curtis (Kan.) asked Mr.
Colcock If he though there was an agree
ment between the cane and beet cugir men
for a division of territory with the Mis
souri river aa the dividing line. Mr. Col
cock said ha could not say as to that, but
remarked that the refiners were all In a
bunch.
Mr. . Smith,' speaking for the beet sugar
Interests, said there waa no agreement be
tween the beet sugar manufacturers and
the refiners, or any division of territory.

regard to the water board bill now pending
In the legislature because he IS not familiar
with it.
James E. Boyd says the bill was prepared
by the water board and the city attorney
and has the approval of the city attorney.
Members of the water board are hard to
And In Omaha, as the majority have gone
to Lincoln to lobby In the Interests of the
Dodge water law. R. Beecher Howell was
on the ground Wednesday and It Is now an
nounced that Members Congdon and Hippie
are at the state capital and that Member
Barlow Is out of the Ity. presumably with
them. City Attorney Wright has fears
even In his silence regarding the bill under
the plea of sickness and lack of opportunity
to go over the measure and contrast It with
the present law, despite the fact that he
was presented with the file Tuesday. Chair
man Jamee E. Boyd of the board la author
ity for the statement that the proposed law
has Mr. Wright's approval.
Former Governor Boyd, who Is staying
close to home because of a protracted
siege with grip, says that he will fight
neither for or against the Dodge bill, al
though he approves of It as a whole, sub
ject to minor alterations.
Governor Boyd's Statement.
"The bill," said he, "was looked over by
the members of the Omaha water board
and the city attorney, and they all con
ceded that It was the proper thing to have
enacted. If there Is any well-founded ob
jection to any part of the bill It can be
amended. The object of It Is to put the
whole matter In the hands of the water
board. It cannot be gainsaid that the city
council never did anything toward acquir-
Ing the water works, other than obeying j
the Howell-GUbert law. The water board
furnished the city attorney with expert I
assistance and did everything necessary to .
acquire the works at the lowest price. J
"I tnlnk the appraisers will make a re-
port Inside of sixty days and the works
will be acquired within a year unless the
matter goes Into court. In my judgment
the bill Is all right, with tho possible ex
ception of some small changes, such as
waa suggested by the city engineer with
reference to obligations to the city gov- :
ernment In tearing up streets and pave-
ments.
Better Men for the Board. j
"I am not going to work for or against
the proposed law. I am not well and I do 1
not propose to take any fight In tho con- .
test. I think that In the future we will
stand a better chance to get a better class
of men on the Water board than In the
city council and the payment of $50 a
month to the members for looking after
the business Is a small matter for the city
to quarrel over.
"Under the bill It Is not mandatory that '
the board shall pay the secretary-commissioner
$10,000 a year and there is no reason
to think that any such salary will be paid.
There Is no reason to believe that Howell
would get the job and from all I know
It Is very unlikely that he would."
City Attorney Wright admitted last week
that he had seen certain sections of the
bill, drawn, he thought, by Howell, or
under his supervision, but said he had not
had an opportunity to read the bill closely
as a whole.
OPPOSE HEAniXG ON DODGE BII.I,
Chnrter Revision Committee Asks
Its Consideration Be Postponed.
Representatives of the charter revision
committee have telegraphed Speaker Rouse
of the house of representatives at Lincoln
asking that consideration and action on
the Dodge water bill be postponed until
they were given a chance to be heard.
The telegram was signed by J. P. Breen,
as a member of the committee of safety;
D. C. Patterson, as a n. -mber of the Real
Kstate exchange; John Steele, aa a mem
ber of the Commercial club, and H. B.
Zimman, as acting mayor. Members of the
charter revision committee say they fear
the Dodge bill conflicts In many ways with
amendments they have decided to recom
mend and Is directly In contravention to
the policy of eliminating expensive boards
and centralizing power In tho mayor and
council. Some of the same kind of objec
tions are made to the Andersen charter
amendment bill. Both measures will be
taken up and considered by the revision
committee.

Buy an irrigated farm for yourself or your son before
the advancing price shuts you out. The time is fast
coming in this country when the owner of a good farm
will be a very independent man; the acreage of farm lands
is limited, but our population is rapidly increasing.
The entire acreage of land available for irrigation,
either by Private or Governmental enterprise, will make
but a small number of eighty-acre farms compared with
the number of young men who expect to become farmers.
The Big Horn Basin has ample water, a splendid sun
shiny climate and a soil which, under water, is as rich and
productive as any in the temperate zone; send for our spe
cial Big JJorn Basin folder, and keep that locality in your
mind in looking into the future,
