in the fulfillment of his mission as It were
myself, and you will have done your duty."
. In the same proclamation Presdent Castro
gave utterance to what might be taken as
a farewell message; .
"The Venesuelaa nation Is already on the
road to the! true prosperity and greatness
because of the strict fulfillment of obliga
tions and the conditions of the revenues,
and because of the state of peace which
we enjoy and which it Is your duty to main
tain, that my work may endure."'
On December 11 the people of Caracas
arose against Castro. They tore down the
statutes and pictures of the president and
burned them in the public places; they
wrecked buildings and applied . the torch,
sweeping through the city and gathering
strength and fury with every new act of
violence.
Gomes was far from secure. It was
brought forcibly home ta him that he must
either withdraw from , that office or cast
aside those of Castro's ministers who still
were trying to force the CMtro rule upon
the people. Apparently he chose the latter
course. He first declared the country In a
state of defense, thereby securing control
of the army, and then appointed a new
cabinet.

JURY BANCS-IN" BANK TRIAL
Disagreement in Cam of James H.
rarrish of Owensboro, Ky.
DEFENDANT STATS IN CHURCH
Sines In t holr Dnrlnst Proseeatlon,
Though Accused of Causing
State's Largest Bank
Failure.'
HAWESVIIJyE. Ky., Dee. 21. After hav
Ing been out since last Friday, the Jury
In the esse against James H. Parrlsh, an
Owensboro (Ky.) banker, charged with re
ceiving a deposit whrn his bank, the
Owensboro 8avlngs bank and Trust com
pany, was Insolvent, today reported that
It could not Apree and was discharged.
An alleged liability of about S1,0C0.0X was
Involved In the receivership of the bank,
the disaster to which last April affected
Kentucky, southern Indiana snd Cincin
nati correspondents and depositors. It was
the largest failure in the history of Ken
tucky. The specific charge was that of II. T.
Martin, who asserted that Farrlsh, who,
with two brothers, was In charge of the
Owensboro Savings bank affairs, had re
ceived a deposit of $10 a few days before
the bank went under.
The state during the trial, which lasted
over a week, offered proof that the Par
tial! bank was Involved for over a mil
lion when It failed and Introduced evidence
purporting to show that loans had been
exacted of friendly brokers In time to pad
quarterly statements and to ward off In
vestigation. A few days after the Owens
boro Savings bank failed, the Daviess
County Bank and Trust company, of which
T. S. Anderson was president, also failed.
Anderson was a close friend of Parrlsh
In religious and social circles, and he
with the, other two Parrlsh brothers, is
now under Indictment.
The alleged mismanagement of the
Owensboro Savings bank developed last
April after a general investigation by the
bankers of that city. The secretary of
stats had a receiver appointed, who . de
clared the bank's condition deplorabln, and
who is now engaged in paying off deposi
tors. Publlo Indignation was at such a
pitch that a special- Judge was appointed
to try the case in Hancock county, away
from the scene of the alleged swindling.
Parrlsh Is a devout churchman, and on
the Sunday which Intervened during the
trial here he sang 1n a local choir.
CAREGIE ON STEEL
(Continued from First Page.)
the witness declared that honest men easily
could differ on that question. The stool
business, he said, was a business by Itself,
and the cost to one man was a very dif
ferent thing from the cost to another.
"When a gentleman of Judge Gary's char
acter," ho said, "comes to you and tells
you he does not want a tariff you 'ought
to believe tirm." He insisted In reply to
questions by Mr. "Bonynge that the rail
ways were not paying too much for steel
rails. The steel rail makers tie thought
were making a talr profit.
"How about other- steel products besides
steel rails T"' Mr.' Bonynge inquired.
"I have not a 'word to say," Mr, Car
negie replied. "That's out of my province."
Mr. CarneVli on Judge Gary.
Mr. Ford retiltW1 the testimony of Mr.
Schwab and was Interrupted by Mr. Car
negie with the' remark that "he Is a genius."
Breaking in upon a Scotch story which
Mr. Carnegie related and in the course of
which the witness mentioned the' name of
Judge Gary. Ho was asked it It was in
tended to characterise Mr. Gary as "a sleek
article."
"Oh, no," said Mr. Carnegte. "On the
contrary he is most lovable man. It
means that he Is shrewd, it means that he
has a delightful, svreet nature."
"Would you recommend an Income tax
to make up the- deficit In the revenues T"
Mr. Fordney asked.
"I believe," replied Mr. Carnegie de
liberately, "with Mr. Gladstone, who has
bad more experience with the -income tax
than any man of his day that ad Income
tax makes a nation of liars. Of all the de
moralising taxes that a nation can impose
upon the people the income tax is the
worst."
"You agree with Gladstone In that?" in
terjected Chairman Payne.
"I do," the steel magnate replied.
"So do I," said the chairman.
"If you want to do harm with money,
give It away to those people who will not
struggle for themselves," was one of the
numerous epigrams brightening Mr. Car
negie's unique testimony.
Reward for Cleverness.
"That applies to the tariff on steel,"
he added. "I think the man who can make
three or four dollars more profit than a
lazy, Inert corporation management should
be allowed to make that profit for his
country's good," was an opinion expressed
by Mr. Carnegie, when being questioned
with regard co what he considered a rea
sonable profit.
Dealing largely In generalities, Mr. Car
negie said he wanted It understood that
his statements represented his opinion
solely. He said that he came before the
committee because summoned and that he
gave his testimony because he thought It
his duty as an American citizen. "I did
not volunteer It," he said.
Pressed with questions from all sides,
Mr. Carnegie arose from his seat and dra
matically declared that "he was a protec
tionist." "I desire," he said; "tcC furnish to the
consumer a cheaper supply and more reg
ular supply than he ccAild get abroad and
if after forty years' experience we cannot
develop steel with that condition, our pro
tective policy In that Instance would have
been a failure Instead of a triumphant suc
cess it has become. Pointing his finger at
the committee and raising his voice to its
highest pitch he declared that the steel
Industry was now In the poedtloo where
it can say: "Take your protection. We are
now men and we can beat the world In
the manufacture of steel."
"There is no reason for the tariff on
steel," he again emphasised. "You should
not coddle the Industry with protection."
A recess at this point was ordered, Mr.
Carnegie Inquiring if the committee was
through with him. -
"No,' came a chorus of voices.
"This Is cruel,' remarked the steel mag
nate as he retired from the room.
"His solicitude for his weaker brethren
Is sublime," said Mr. Carnegie, referring to
Judge Garys' contention the smaller steel
manufacturers could pot stand for the abo
lition of the d.uty on -steel.
No Steel - Imported.
Mr.' CSrnegie said the manufacturers of
Wales could make a ton of tin plate a
shade cheaper than It could be made here,
and that the cost of manufacturing steel is
greater In Great Britain than here. He said
the committee should send experts familiar
with the steel Industry to the large mills
of Europe to study the question of com
parative coot of labor.
"It la a condition and not a theory that
concerns the committee at this time," said
Renresentatlve Long-worth In reply. "It Is
understood tat ths president-elect will call
a special session of congress for the pur
pose of exacting a tarlCf, bill and we must
prepare a bill for It to pass on. We have
no tima to srnd experts to Burnr. Whst 1
want to know is what authority aside
from testimony given by you and Judge
Gary, who I don't think went as far ss you
do, have for taking the duty off of steel."
Mr. Carnegie pointed out that there Is
practically no foreign-made steel Imported
Into this country.
"Do you know of any combination to fix
the price of tin plate Internationally?"
asked Mr. Hill.
"No,"
"Do you know of any combination to
fix thn price of wire nulls?"
"No." Mr. Carnegie replied. "I am not so
positive about the existence of a combina
tion to fix the price of steel rails. In fact,
I am without knowledge of any combina
tion of any kind."
Labor Costs Leas Here.
Mr. Carnngle told the committee It must
not base Its conclusions on the comparison
of the cost of labor In this country and
abroad as furnished them by witnesses. "If
it takes two men In Great Britain to turn
out as much steel as It takes one man here
with our modem appliances, the difference
would not be so great," was his argument.
"The cost of producing rails at Gary won't
be half as much as In England, notwith
standing the cheaper cost of labor abroad."
Representative Gaines was desirous of ob-
talnlng-Mr. Carnegie's views as to the needs
for the tariff for the small manufacturer
of steel. ' Mr. Carnegie explained that there
were no small manufacturers of steel
products, but Mr. Gaines persisted that
there were small manufacturers who make
some special articles from steel.
"I don't know any small manufacturer
who makes Just one article of steel snd
I would not regard him. I would think he
had not managed well," said Mr. Carnegie.
Mr. Gaines wanted to know If it was not
possible for a man to go Into the steel busi
ness to manufacture a specialty, or If It
would not be If there was no tariff to
protect him.
"There Is always room for the enterpris
ing man to make a specialty, and besides,
he gets a. high price for' his article," was
Mr. Carnegie's comment. "The man who
would go Into the general steel bustness
without the proper capital is a man you
need not concern yourself about- Things
that are used by the thousands cannot be
made now except on a large scale."
Mr. Carnegie further admitted that the
time for the smaller manufacturer of steel
Is past, except for the man making a
special article.
Crosier Taken Opposite View.
Mr. Carnegie concluded his testimony
shortly before 6 o'clock and was about to
leave when Alfred O. Crosier of Wilming
ton, Del., asked permission to be heard. He
also askod Mr. Carnegie to remain and hear
his remarks, explaining that they would be
in the nature of a criticism of the former
steel king's views on the tariff. Mr. Car
negie took a seat with the evident purpose
of listening to Mr. Crosier, but the latter
had net proceeded far when Mr. Cam gle
arose and said that he had been before the
committee all day and that it was pretty
tiresome. He begged to be excused, but
said that he would like to get a copy of
Mr. Crosler's remarks after they are
printed.
"I shall read it with pleasure," he said,
"and If ths gentleman criticises me I shall
say: What a pity that man does not know
better,' and If he is with me I shall prob
ably say 'what a wise young man he Is.' "
With a few parting words of regret be
cause he could not stay Mr. Carnegie took
his departure. . -
Mr. Crosier addressed his remarks prin
cipally -to the magazine article recently pub
lished over Mr. Carnegie's name, which he
said dealt a severe blow to the entire pro
tective system. He said that Mr. Carnegie
haa kindled wide doubt as to the wisdom,'
necessity and value of protection. Mr. Cro
sier claimed that Mr. Carnegie's proposl
tlon to take the duty off of steel would
have the effect of leaving the United States
Steel corporation forever In undisputed pos
session of the American field.

Captain Rankin was killed Garrett Johnson

play an Important part in the effort of the
state to fasten the crime upon the man

Fehrlnger frankly admitted that he had

convicted for this offense both in Tennes

denied Ills guilt and never perjured him

that he did not keep a "dairy," meaning

He said his home had been under his

MRS, ANNIS TAKES STAND
Widow of Slain Man Gives Damsrlag
Evidence A Brains t Thornton
llalns.
FLUSHING, N. Y., Dec. SI. The trial of
Thornton Jenkins Halns reached a climax
of dramatlo intensity today, when Mrs.
Helen B. Annls, wife of William A. Aanls,
In a deliberate rectal, lastng for nearly
three hours pictured the killing of her hus
band as hs sat at the tiller of his boat, by
Captain ePter C. Halns, Jr. Mrs. Annls
snarly fainted a few minutes before Sor
examination was concluded, but quickly re
covered. It was a hard day for the de
fense and counsel for Halns was exhausted
from the cross-examination which was di
rected toward the state's witnesses in an
effort to shake their testimony. Thornton
Halns lost much of the easy nonchalence
that has characterised bis manner in pre
vious sessions. When led from the court
by two deputy sheriffs the prisoner ap
peared dejected and careworn.
Mrs. Annls made an impressive figure
on the witness stand as she told In a quiet
manner her story of August 15, at the Bay
side Yacht club. Several new points added
dramatlo interest to the trial. When Annls'
boat came along the float the widow testi
fied. Thornton Halns beckoned . to his
brother and led the way down the runway.
The shooting followed wtihin a few mo
ments. Lawyer Mclntyre sought to discredit the
"beckoning episode," which ths state as
serts proves that the author induced the
army officer to the crime, and kept Mrs.
Annls on this point under cross-examination
for nearly half an hour. Halna' coun
sel developed that Mrs. Aanla had not
until last week told District Attorney Dar
rln that the defendant had beckoned to
his brother.
"X ran down ths runway and Thornton
Halns pointed hts revolver at me. I turned
to go bacg and he.; pressed the weapon
against my back, saying." You get out of
here or you will get the same.' I ran up
the runway, .nod .looking , back, saw my
husband fall Into th water So said Mrs.
Annls In relating her story snd this new
evidence ths lawyers for Holns struggled
vainly to discredit.
Another Important witness was Charles
H. Roberts, a Bayslde Yacht club mem
ber and an eye witness of the shooting.
No one is more sorry than I sm. I Jtave
been trying to prevent this thing for some
time," was the slstement developed from
Mr. Roberts upon which Halns counsel will
rely to a large meaaurs In ths defense ot
the story writer.
The witness told a clear story of the
shooting, supplying many of the details of
the killing not testified to by previous wit
nesses. Roberts said that Thornton Halns
had pointed his revolver at him while the
shooting was In progress and threatened
his life. The revolvers of the Halns broth
ers wers placed In evidence- today.
That Thornton Halns was armed in the
manner of a plainsman was shown today.
