"WASHINGTON , Jan. A. ( Special Tele
pram.Messrs. ) . \V. J. Conncll and C. J
Greene of Omaha appeared this morning be
fore the supreme court of the UivitcJ States
cocked and primed to orally argue the mo
tlon of Mr. Council to dtamlss and ofilrn
the suit of the City of Omaha against th
11. & M. Hallway company , growing out o
the failure of tha railroad to repair th
Eleventh street viaduct. The court , however
over , > waa ml in the humor to hear wcsteri
attorneys , notwithstanding their admlttci
ability , and Chief JusHco Fuller Intimate
that the court would bo glad to read th
briefs , If printed , and take the motion undo
advlsuncnt , but that otherwise the motlo
would have to bo passed. Doth attorney
tvcro prepared for this turn , although It ha
generally been the practice of the court t
Insist upon printed briefs , and within flv
mlnuUri of the tlmo of Council's rising I
nddrca.i that body tha court was engaged It
hearing ex-Senator Edmunds on a motloi
for a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Conncll'
brief recites the mandamus proceedings , no ;
well known , and the verdict obtained agaltts
the railroad company In the district cotir
nnd the supreme court of the state. Th
railroad company , alleging that certain con
atttutlonal fuo | Moiis were Involved , carrlec
the case up to the supreme court of the
United SlaUs , when Mr. Conncll , represent
Ing the city , brought his motion to dlsnrlsi
and affirm. Mr. Council argues In his brie
that similar cases have been passed upoi
eo many times by the supreme court tha
It Is useless to go Into questions raised by
the attorney for the railroad company ; tha
tlio qucst'lona raised by the plaint Iff In crro
nro no longer open questions , and that fur
thcr consideration of them would bo un
Justifiable. Mr. Greene raises the point li
his brief that four great railroad corporation
are operating tracks under the K'lcventl '
street viaduct , but that the city councl
of Omnha began proceedings against hu
two , which the attorney claims Is an out
rage , both niton the law and mathematics
lie argues that the proceedings taken operate
ate to deprive the company of Its propert ;
without duo process of law and to deny 1
equal protection of the law ; that enforce
ment of the provisions of the city charts

impair thn obligations of the contract undo

the act of marriage had been made In propc
form , which would make him a Chcrokc

WASHINGTON' . Jan. 4. The tobacco
schedule of the tariff was threshed over by
the representatives of various tobacco In
terests today before the ways and means
committee with great minuteness. Several
branches of the business was represented ,
the native growers , Importers , manufacturers
using the native goods , these using Havana
and those handling the Sumatra product. Be
tween thcee > claracs there was much discord ,
no two of them being agreed on any schedule
of ratto and contradicting one another on
questions and statements as to the effects
of the present law , rates of labor and cost
of production and manufacture. The Na
tional association of tobacco manufacturera
waa represented , by a largo delegation with
Its president , MOSCH Krahn of Cincinnati
for flpokcaman. The association asked for
duties of G2 < A cents a pound on all Imported
leaf tobacco , or not more than 55 cents an
all unsteinmcd tobacco and $5 n pound with
25 per cent ad vuloicm oil Imported cigars.
Under any higher rates they declared their
business would bo mined.
The principal representatives of the
growers were Michael Tobln of Haldwlns-
vlllo , N. Y. , and J. H. Van Dussandcr of
Horsehcads , N. Y. They asserted that the
native growers had made no money under
the Wllaon bill and asked for rates higher
than these of the McKlnley act. Gcorgo
J. Smith of Kingston , N. Y. , spoke for the
users of Sumatra tobacco and F. I' . Gunby ,
formerly collector of the port of Tampa , for
the manufacturers of the Cuban products.
It was represented that only 5 per cent of
the Havana tobacco used as wrappers had
paid duty as such under the Wilson bill.
The others who spoke wcro ex-Mayor Fred
K. Schroederof Brooklyn ; H. S. Fryc , Windsor
ser , Conn. ; L. II < Neudecker of Ualtlmoro ;
J. I. Ellison , New York and George Mltchcll-
aon , St. Paul.
Michael Toblu of Ualdwlnsvllle , N. J. , rep
resenting the New York State Tobacco
Growera' association , said the tobacco grow
ers wcro badly In need of relief. They had
expended vast Gums In warehouses , etc. ,
and until the Importation of Sumatra began
had been fairly prosperous. Tobacco farms
were then worth $125 an acre. Such farms
were now generally mortgaged and would
not today liquidate their incumhranccs. lie
did not think It fair that the Holland syn
dicate , which employed coolie labor at 12
cents a day , should bo allowed to annihilate
the great leaf tobacco Industry In this coun
try. He denied that American leaf was not
suitable for wrappers. Sumatra , ho said
had no merit except Its appearance. Ho
complained of the clastic language In the
act of 1894 and said the schedule in the act
of 1892 would bo satisfactory. The con
sumer , he said , would not be Injured by an
adequate duty , but would get his cigars at
the same prlco at retail. He said the qual
ity of the American wrapper leaf had not
Improved of recent years , because there had
liccn no Inducement to growers to care for
'heir ' leaves. Cuban tobacco ranked first
In quality and Sumatra was decidedly the
woret. He had no doubt , ho said , that any
Importer of Sumatra would rather have Su
matra excluded than smoke a cigar made
wholly of Sumatra.
"Why ? " he was asked.
"Hccause If ho smoked It ho would lose
! ia : breakfast. "
Ho said the growers cared nothing about
flllers. They were Interested principally In
wrappers.
Chairman Dlngley called attention to the
'act that under the reduction In duties of
; 0 cents per pound In the act of 1S91 the
nerease of Imports cf Sumatra had been
jvcr 40 per cent. Moreover , said Mr. Ding-
ley , It was a remarkable fact that the prlco
of Sumatra tobacco Increased HO cents a
pound ns soon as the duty was reduced 5t
cents : -Mr. Tobln confirmed this , but hat !
no explanation to offer.
J. S. Van Duzer of Itorsehcads. N. Y. ,
representing the growers of the Chemnng
valley , also asked for protection for wrapper
tobacco. He admitted that $2 would be an
adequate rate , but said It was not n question
of rates , but of protecting our citizens from
ruinously cheap labor abroad and saving a
great Industry from extinction. He oalO
< ! 0,000,000 pounds of foreign tobacco were
mportcd annually , of which 4,000,000 were
wrappers.
The price of Cuban tobacco , he said , had
> ecn doubled owing to the demoralization
iroduced by the war. Ho proposed n unl-
'orm rate of 50 cents on wrappers and flllcro
per pound.
CIGARETTE OUTPUT DOUDLiED.
The output of clgaro In the United States
luring the past fiscal year wan 1,099,187,855 ,
which was a decrease of. 65,400,000 from the
ircccdlng year. The output of cigarettes had
ncrcased by 881,998.239. A difference In the
luty on wrapper and tilled tobaccos. It was
claimed , had begotten an unfair competition
iccauao In many ports of entry 95 per cent
of unstemmcd tobacco Imported from Cuba
md been entered under the 35-cent per
lound filler duty. In regard to Imported
cigars , the manufacturers suggested that
hey wcro entitled to a duty of at least $5
i pound and 23 per cent ad valorem. The
small quantity of cigars imported during tut
last fiscal year was not to be taken as a
standard , because the ImportstIons had
greatly Increased during the past few month
and were likely to continue to Increase. Thh
> lan would Increase revenues. In eonclu-
lon , the manufacturers stated that they
vould be unable to continue I IN business with
i hlgtcr tariff than the present one , and
liev would ni-nfnr to submit to thn nrn nnt
iridaMafactory and discriminating rates
ather than face the Inevitable havoc which
a specific rate exceeding 55 cents a pound
vould accomplish.
Mr. Payne endeavored to elicit an ndmls-
Ion that the McKlulcy ! act had not been In
orco long enough to demonatrato the effects
n the bualncfn of a $2 a pound rate , but
Ills the president of the manufacturuio
vould * iot concede.
} Ir. Tawncy of Minnesota asked If a very
Igh duty on Sumatra would not drive- the
mall manufacturers out of the business , to
lilch Mr. Krahn answered that he- could
ot definitely predict.
"Don't you think the duty on clgara under
ho law of either 1890 or ISfll Is pretty atlff
rotcctlon ? " asked Mr. Payne.
"Yes , " wai the answer.
The manufacturers of clear Havana cigars
vero represented by K. H. Gumby of Tampa ,
'la. Ho oxnressad surprise at the Rtato-
lents made by previous speakers. From the
tntcmcnts , ho said. It appeared that the
mnufacturcM of Now York and Cincinnati
( now what the growers of native tobacco
vnntcil better than did the growers them-
clves. From these same statements it was
o boInferred that Havana touacco reaped
II the benefits from the present scheme. Till *
as far from the truth.
Describing the conditions of ths Havana
obacco business , ho declared that the grow-
ig and packing of It was entirely beyond
ho control of tine American buyer. Having
icen collector of the port of'Tampa , Mr.
uinby said ho was acquainted with the con-
Itions of the Importations.
UTTL.E DUTY PAH ) .
H wrs true , ho said , that only about 0
> er cent of the Havana tobacco Imported
nto thu Unltod States and used as wrappers
aid duty as micli bocauiio the manufacturers
aid much tobacco commercially appraised
s "filler" for wrappers. It was Impomlblo
o toll In Importing such stock how much of
t would bo fit for wrappers. It might bo
vo. ton or fifteen pounds. To tax It as
vrappcn would stop Its Importation on-
Irely and would drlvo tlis manufacturers cl
'ow York and Florida to Cuba. It wan
robably true that n specific duty of 52' '
r. 55 cents a pound would produce , as much
ovcnuc as the present law. but It was also
rue that Sumatra would bo Imported to an
xtent which would drlvo the farnura of
New York and Connecticut out of the bus I-
ions. The tobacco uchedulo of the McKlnlcy
III liad Increased the business of the man-
facturern by decreasing that of the Ha-
ana manufacturers.
For thu manufacturers using Sumatra
I it
wrappers George J. SmltAjOf New York pro
tested against the advantages to the Ha
vana tobacco users unfarllhc present law.
In answer to a questlicrMr. Smith said ho
did not bcHovo any ct aTh were ma do ot
American filler and Havana wrappers.
Ij. H. Neudecker oflilfciUltnoro contended
that a duty ot CO cents a ( pound would pro
duce more revenue thanl the present rates.
J. I. Elllsnit ot Now .York . , editor of the
United States Tobacco Journal , stated th.it
the cost of producing a round of Sumatra
tobacco was 24',4 cents' " The stories that
coollo labor cost but 7 xir S cents In Sumatra
wcro erroneous.
George Mltchellson of St ; Paul , who ownn
tobacco lands In Connecticut , stated that
tlicro had been no moneylri tobacco for New
England farmers slnco the crop of 1802. With
< i $5-a-pnund rate on Sumatra tobacco ho
would cultivate 200 acres In Connecticut.
Chairman Dlnglcy said before the commit
ted adjourned that tobacco , being a luxury ,
was a proper subject for revenue with Inci
dental regard to the Interests of manufac
turers and growers.
"How do yon account for the fact , " asked
Mr. McMlllIn , "that Sumatra tobacco , which
costs from 84 cents to $1.21 at the port ot
export , displaces American tobacco , which
costs 12 cents to produce ? "
SIMPLY A FAD.
"It Is due , " replied Mr. Van Duzer. "to
the foolish Idea of Uie American people that
anything foreign Is better than anything do
mestic. "
"Is that nil ? "
"It Is ; It Is the fad. "
Mr. Van Duzor created much amusement
when 'ho replied In answer to n question as
to what duty lie wanted , that ho wanted so
much duty he was afraid to suggest It ; ho
would llko to sco a prohibitory duty.
Frederick Schroodcr , ex-mayor of Brook
lyn , a largo dealer In domestic and Imported
tobacco , opposed a higher duty on tobacco.
Ho asked for n new classification of the to
bacco schedule , BO as to do away with the
specific duty of $1.60 on wrappers and H5
cents on fillers and substitute this for an ad
valorem rate on stemmed , with n differential
on stemmed exceeding 40 per cent. Mr.
Schroeder urged thut It was Impossible to
ci'lscrlinlnalo by ocular Inspection between
wrappers and filled grades , except In Su
matra. Mr. Schroeder said the act of 1S99
had proved disappointing to the domestic
growers , who had made a dismal failure of
on attempt to Introduce American wrappers.
The reduction of duty In 1891 had not caused
the demoralization of the tobacco growers'
trade. It was duo to Increased demand for
the finer Imported grades and to the enor
mous Increase In the cigar consumption
Southern leaf was used almost altogether li
clgarctto manufacture.
H. S. Fryo of Windsor , Conn. , opposed the
50 cents per pound duty and said that al
the American growers desired was a dutj
which would allow them to wrap the cheat
5-ccnt cigars.
WHAT MANUFACTURERS WANT.
At the afternoon session a delegation ap
peared , representing the National Assaciatloi
of Cigar Manufacturers. Moses Krahn o
Cincinnati spoke first for the manufacturers
The Interests of the country demanded a
uniform rate. It was admitted that only a
small fraction of the tobacco growing farm
ers were represented by those who hai
spoken at the morning session. A unlforn
specific duty of 52' , & cents a pound on al
Imported leaf tobacco , the manufacturers
urged , would put all branches of the trade
on n parity na to expenses , losses and nn-
noyanco In the collection of duty and yield
a revenue equal to the average of any ol
the last seven years. The proposed dutj
would give complete protection to domestic
fillers , which constitute SO per cent of the
domestic product. The manufacturers asked
also a uniform duty of not exceeding 55
cents a pound on all 'unstemmcd tobacco ,
contending that this would , at the present
average price of donieil'lc leaf tobacco , bo
a protection ot 70 per cent and would In-
crcaso the revenue about 5 per cent over
the average of the ptst seven years.
T.io manufacturers claimed to employ ten
times ns many people as are employed In
raiding cigar leaf tobacco' ' In the United
States. They urged that , they should not be
sacrificed In carrying the scheme * of pro
tection too fur and that they could not con-
: lnuo In business under .higher . rated than
these suggested.

"ST. PAUL. Minn. . Jnn. I. As a direct re-
milt ot the closing ot the Dank of Minnesota
seta , two weeks ago , whlrh created now
distrust among depositors and started tuns
on n number of city hanks that were reputed
not to be fs strong as the depositors wished ,
three St. Paul banks , the Gcrmanln , the Allo-
mania cmd the West Side , uono of thorn na
tional Institutions , all closely associated , to
day closed their doors , ono being In the
hands of the state bank examiner , nnd the
others making assignments.
During the time that had Intervened slnco
the closing of the 'llnnk ot Minnesota , the
Gcrmnnla bank paid out 1225.000 to fright
ened depositors , and early today the direc
tors concluded they would stop the drain nnd
make an assignment to the cashier , Peter
M. Kecrst.
The Allemanla bank , which , llko the Ger-
manla , had n largo clientage among the
Germans , and whrse vice president had for
merly been president ot the Gcrmanla , then
became the target for as lively n run cs
could bo seen during panic times anywhere.
People crowded about the doors and fairly
fought for a place In the line before the pay
ing teller's window. The bank officials real
ized fully what euch a run meant , nnd
promptly called on llnnk Examiner Kcnyon
to take pcvsscf.ilon of the bank , and that
official Is now in charge.
The West Side bank , a small but possibly
stronger bank , cleared through the Alle
manla , and today It.r clearings were returned
by the latter Institution. Following this
thnre was a decided mil Inaugurated on the
bank , and nt 2 o'clock this afternoon the
bank officials closed the doors nnd called a
meeting of the directors to decide what ac
tion to take. Their decision was late In the
afternoon , when they fl'ed ' a deed of nsislgn-
mcnt to Charlta S. Staples , the president of
the bank.
Considerable public money U tied up In
the three Institutions , but there Is an ample
supply for all Immediate needs In the other
banks of the city. The assignment ot the
Germaula and West Sldo banks has brought
up a somewhat new question In the banking
laws of this fltato , and the courts will bo
called on to settle it. The state bank exam
iner doubts their right to assign , holding
that they should have , under the law , turned
over their assets to him. The attorney gen
eral Intimates that he will bring action to
test the matter as Boon cs the papeni can be
prepared.
During the day numerous reports of
trouble among other banks wcro current , and
a few banks suffered runs of greater or
lessor Intensity , bill the savings banks were
protected by the law that permits them to
Insist on sixty days before paying out dc-
r > cslts , and the national banks are In strong
condition , and have no tear of anything of
the sort.
DEPOSITORS WITHDRAW FUNDS.
The Gcrmanla bank stood a run for nearly
two weeks , Its depositors beginning to
withdraw their accounts at the tlmo the
llnnk of Minnesota closed on December 22.

The Gcraanla bank lias been organized
for many ycais , ex-Governor Alex Ramsey
being for a long time president and William
lilckel caehler. A few years ago Governor
Ramsey retired and Mr. Illckel became pres
ident , but last spring Mr. Ilickcl retired
from the bank , becoming vice president of
the newly organized Allemanla bank. Ho
was succeeded by Gustav Wllllus as presi
dent of tbo Gcrmanla. T. H. Monk being
vice president and P. M. Kcrat cashier. The
directors are Gustav Wllllna. William
Ilickcl , Albert SchangcnbcrK. Joseph Haag ,
J D. Hermann , B. E. Dercsford , T. IV.
Monk , O. E. Holman , C. L. Host , Adam
Deyer. W. H. Hornsteln. The change In
the official head of last year Is believed to
have caused tbo losing of accounts.
President Wllllus told an Associated preen
reporter today that the closing was the re
sult of an unreasonable panic and that the
bank would be opened for business Just as
soon ns the people regained their usual good
soiiap. The bank , as a itsult of the pan
icky feeling , hml paid out to depositors
$325,000 In the last nine days , and as they
saw what the continuation of thin would lead
to. the directors had decided to close- for
the present. Wllllus said ho fully expected
to have the bank reopened and ready for
business by the last of March.
TWO MORE HANKS CLOSE.
The Allemanla bank , capital § 400,000 , and
having a clientage similar to that of the
Gormanla , closed Its doors BOOH after the
other bank had announced its assignment.
The Allr-manla bank was organized last
year , being the successor of the Commer
cial bank. William nickel , formerly presl-

cided to close at once.
Owing to the excitement caused by the
closing of the Dcrm.inla and Allemanla banks
today many depositors started after their
money In ono or two of the other banks ,
tbo Minnesota Savings bank being the cen
ter of excitement. The president of tbo
lianlt , William Ulckel. jr. . la tbc BOH of
the first vlco president of the Allcmnnla ,
and this fact seemed to turn the minds of
the pcoplo that way. Tills morning the
bank was open for business , but at 3
o'clock was taking advantage of the rule
allowing sixty days notice before allowing
withdrawals of deposits.
At n few minutes before 2 o'clock the
\VrataIdo bank , organized In 1SJ > 6 , with a
capital of $100,000 , closed Its doors. The
resident , C. K. Staples , told the Associated
> ross representative the bank cleared
.hrough the Allemanla and had Its clearings
returned today because of the closing of
that-bank. The Wcatsldo bink had suffered
considerably from the generally shaky con-
lltlon of flr.ancinl affairs.
Public funds were on deposit In all three
of the closed banks. The state had $10-
G4G.05 In the Qermania , $35,302.51 In the
Allemanla and S3.fi 1C.C3 In the Wcatslde
l > ank. The ronnty treasurer had deposited
$9.635.35 In the Gcrmanta , $2C.21D.3C In the
Allemanla nnd $7,501.SI In the Wcstsldo
jank. City Treasurer Horst had on de
posit city funds ns follows : In the Gcrmanin ,
$ I9,7)3.S2 ! ) ; In the Allemanla , $151I5G.GG , nnd
In the \\Vstslde bank. $21,891.50.
The Westsldo bank lias not closed finally ,
but In view of the panic , pending action
by the directors. The bank Is considered
Rtrong , though small , and loss to deposit
ors Is not thought possible. The last state
ment , December 7 , Is ns follows : Total
assets , $217,011.17 ; ot this $159,000 was In
loans and discounts and $28,000 In real
estate. The total deposits were $113,546. The

this niornlnQ. was to pardon Hose Xoldoaky
from the state prison where she has spent
the past four years under llfo sentence for
the murder of Ulla Malley. Governor Upham
states his reason for the pardon ns follows :
"I do not question the accuracy of the
Judgments of the courts on the grounds for
these Judgments as they appear upon the
records , but there Is good rca-Jon to bolltvo
that 'tlie verdict of the Jury was Influence I
adversely to the accused by the fact that
her ntlcrneyfl. In the exercise , no doubt , of
pound discretion , failed to plane her upon the
stand as a. witness In her own behalf. The
law Is that the shall not be prejudiced by her
failure to testify. This fact In necessarily
very detrimental to the accused , and If It
had been made to appear at the trial court
In duo time undoubtedly n new trial would
have been granted , but it Is now too late
for that procedure. I believe therefore that
the cast1 Is ono In which executive clemency
may bo satisfactorily exercised.
