There In a general disposition In the house to elininat :i far a possible any academic rti.nin.lnn of the tariff. Members on both sides are desirous of having a lit ti renernl debate as possible and aa murh time a la practicable for the con (deration of th9 hill under tho llve- mlnute rule for amendments. When the IHngicy bill was before con area loss than a week was devoted In the house to the discussion of the Mil under the flvo-mlnute rule, anil, while It la likely that a rule will be brought In to limit the time for considering amend mentH, It la believed sufficient time will be allowed for connlderatlon of the whole bill under the flve-mlnute rule Members on both sides are lining up and preparing to submit amendment to the sections of the bill In which their constituents are Interested. The main contention is to be over the cut made In ' the duty on lumber. It Is understood that the southern representative are al most unanimously In favor of retaining the present duty of 12 per 1,000 feet. They will have the support of many mem bers from the northwest and Pacific coast states. Democrat for Free Hides. Hides and leather manufactures also will be the subject of considerable ae bate. An rarest effort will be made by the deinocratn to have shoos and other leather products reduced at least I or I per cent and to have hides retained on the free list. On boots and shoes, according to the new tariff, will' be levied a duty of IB per cent ad valorem, hlle this Is a reduction of 10 per cent ad valorem. It Is contended by those who favor further re ductions that the shoemen themselves liuve admitted that the y could stand a reduction of 5 or 10 per cent more If l.ldes were admitted free. The repre sent lived of western slates will make an ininest effort to have a duty of 15 lr rent tsiuln placed cm hides.

Oil and Metal Hoard died. In explanation of the retention of the countervailing duty clause on petroleum It Is claimed that Mexico has developed large nil fields and that tho provlalun limiting the free entry of oil to countries which do not Impose a tax on the Importation of American oil was made to prevent the Importation of Mexican oil free of duty If that country should Impose a tax on oil from the United States. There has been very little criticism In the house of the metal schedule, but it la claimed duty on wrought and cast scrap Iron should be equal to the duty on pig Iron, aa is pro vided In the Dlngley law. In the Payne hill scrap Iron la covered by a duty of SO cents per ton, while the duty on pig Iron Is S2.S0 per ton. In speaking of this schedule, a member of the house today declared that Its effect would be to re duce the Importation of pig Iron to prac tically nothing, while all the scrap Iron that could be secured In foreign countries brought Into this country. BUI Read In House. For four and a half hours the house of n presentatives today listened to the read ing of the tariff bill, which was concluded It was the only business transacted. It was i perhaps the dreariest session of any held by that body In recent years. Some of the members In the reading took to the cloak rooms and lobby, while others deserted the building. Mr. Sims of Tennessee injected a breath of life Into the proceedings. He wanted the reading of the bill dispensed with as a farce, but objection was made. He then asked unanimous consent that the bill be rut on Its passage, saying it was evident r.o opportunity would be offered to amend the mrssure In the house. To this sug gestion, however, Mr. Mann of Illinois ou- JeClrd. When the housn convened this morning It was agreed that when adjournment is taken today It shall be until Monday. Without any explanation. Mr. Payne called up the tariff bin. which was rend at length In committee of the whole. The designation ! the speaker of Mr. Olmstead of Penn sylvania as chairman of the committee, while the tariff bill Is under consideration. (Hi lled republican applause. Mr. Payne announced that general debate n the bill would begin Mbnday. Mr. Sims of Tennessee Inquired of the t .'hair the reason for reading the bill when no una was paying attention. The chair reminded him that the rules required such procedure unless by unani mous consent the reading was dispensed with. "Then." said Mr. 8lms, "to end the farce. I move that the further reading be dis pensed with." "I object." shouted Mr. Payne In a loud Mitt, and the clerk proceeded. rtlvrrslan' by Mr. slate. The motony of the reading proved too much for most of the members and they lift the chamber in such numbers that practically only empty seats remained. Mr. Sims mado the point of no quorum, but he quickly reconsidered and withdrew It (Continued on round Pag a) BALD KNOB. Ark.. March 19 -While some of their number rode about the streets discharging their weapons and hold ing the populace In terror, others of a band of robbers worked more than an hour this morning In an unsuccessful effort to dyna mite their way Into the vault of the Bank of Raid Knob, abandoning their task after firing nearly a score of blasts, which de molished the cuter door of the safe, but failed to force the Inner doors. One citizen was wounded in the parting fusilade of the band an they rode away. The first explosion aroused the cltlsens, who, as they emerged from their houses were greeted wtlh the bullets of the out posta They quickly ran to shelter, while the robbers held undisputed sway, keeping up an almost continuous fire and taking chance shots at any who came within range. Before beginning operations the robbers destroyed telephone communication out of Bald Knob, but overlooked a railroad tele graph wire. A message to Augusta over this wire brought a posso of citizens from that place, who Joined several other posses hastily formed here, and immediately started in pursuit of the band. Sharp Not Guilty, Jury in Tangle as to Coopers NASHVILLE. Tenn., March 19-Persls-tent rumor'j that an agreement had been reached by the Jury In the Cooper-Sharp murder trial drew a large crowd to the onurt room today. Judge Hart sent the sheriff to ask the Jury at 12 minutes after noon if it wished to report. Promptly the word came back that no agreement had been reached. The court considered a moment and said: "I will bring In the Jury anyhow. Bring In the defendants." There was a hustle and scurrying of deputies through the corridors and the de fendants entered. The court room was nearly empty by this time, the throng dis aipearlng gradually, as It seemed there would be no report. Mrs. Bureh and Mrs. Wilson, pale and wan, were with the Coopers, and faithful Mrs. Sharp, as al ways, at her husband's side. "Have you reached a verdict, gentle men?" "We are hopelessly tied as do the Coopers," said the foreman. Burke, "but we find John Sharp not guilty." "Tou will retire, gentlemen, and recon sider further as to the other defendants. Is there any reason, Oeneral MeCarn, why John Sharp should not be discharged?" "None, your honor." "Mr. Sharp, you are discharged from custody, acquitted," said the court, with a smile.

Sharon Kidnaping Mystery Rivals Famous Omaha Case SHARON, Pa.. March 19-Krom reports received this afternoon concerning ths kid naping of William Whltlu it la believed the laj was drugged by his adductors Imme diately after they had taken him from school and placed him In their buggy. The accounts of several persons who are al leged to have seen the two men and boy driving along the road toward Warren, O., agree that the boy was wrapped in blankets and was apparently asleep on the lap of one of the men. The case Is expected to rival the famous Cudahy rase at Omaha. Many points of both cases are Identical. Elaborate preparations are under way looking to the capture of the abductors. Tim boy's mother, If she could, would in stantly pay the demanded ransom of 110.000, but as to' how. when and where the lio.OnO la to be paid has not been made known by the kidnapers. Ths isd's relatives, some of whom are millionaires, are making every possible ef fort to locate ths child and his abductors. No decision has yet or can be made re garding the ransom of $10,000 demanded by the kidnapers for the safe return of the child. Mr. Whltla Immediately complied with the terms contained in the letter re ceived yesterday from the men. Insofar as ths Insertion of an advertisement In various papers about the country Is concerned. The advertisement is to the effect he Is willing to pay the ransom of 110,000, but up to 10 o'clock this morning no word has been re ceived from the kidnapers as to when and where this money is to be paid. A squad of Pennsylvania state constabu lary reached here today from Punxsutaw ney to assist In ths search.

GEORGE W. LBIDIGII. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN. March 19. (Special.) Te above resolution was Introduced In the house this morning and went over until tomorrow, under tho rules, upon objection being made to It by Connolly of Douglas. The resolution came after a denunciation of the senate, and particularly the Omaha senators, by W. J. Taylor of Custer county. In a discussion of the Routh Omaha char ter bill, which Tanner of Douglas in per son was attempting to lobby through the house over tho protests of Howard of South Omaha, In the course of his talk Taylor said: "I want t to go out over the state that Taylor s;iid the rnllronds of the state have suffered Utile at our hands and the people of the state have profited but little. We have given the people no relief from the graft of the Insurance companies; the depositors' guaranty law that we sent to the senate la coming back from the senate a bankers' law instead of a depositors' law. Has Yielded the l imit. "I have yielded every inch I Intend to yield. 1 Just asked this question of the senator (Taylor had been talking to Tan ner): 'Will you pass the physical valua tion bill as sent from the house and will you pass the initiative and referendum bill? He declined to commit himself. When yon are dealing with a bunch of men who have no regard for party pledges and you have a club will you use the club or will you not?" "The banWers seduced She republican state convention, but their pernicious Influ ence has had worse effect upon the dem ocrats In this legislature. The corpora tions may be able .io awe some of you men and they may be able to run a steam roller over me. but they will find me fight ing to the last ditch." During the discussion of the charter bill Tanner and his Omaha colleagues had the bsnk guaranty bill held up In tho senate pending the outcome. On a motion to Indefinitely postpone the charter bill, made by Howard of Douglas, following the failure of the house to adopt his proposed amendments, the voto was decidedly in favor of the motion. Later Kuhl of Cedar moved that the house not concur In the report of the com mittee of the whole, but that the bill go on the general file. Taylor of Ouster had no objection to this motion and It carried. Tanner then went to the senate and was asked by Arthur Mullen if he was ready for the bank bill to be again brought up. He replied to leave It where It was. After the charter bill had been Indefl- (Continued on Fourth Page.) with my boy's abductors. It looks as though they would put aj terrible threat Into execution. Advice Is good, but perhaps time is too short In this to disregard threats. If money will bring back the boy, then I will readily pay the $10,000. The mother Is prostrated at the Whltla home. She did not sleep last night and today clings pathetically to her daughter. Saline, 10 years old. The mother refused to allow the girl to go to school today, the same school from which the boy was kid naped yesterday, end alts with her arms about the child. Anna Lewis, the boy's teacher, who yesterday prepared William for ths journey with the abductors, feels her part In the case deeply, although no blame is attached to her. As yet no reward has been offered for the capture of the kidnapers. The rig In which the boy was carried away was hired In South Sharon yester day morning by a short, heavy set man with a black mustache. He said hs wanted to do some collecting and would return It about noon. At noon a rig was found deserted at Warren, O., which has now been Identified as the one engaged by the kidnaper.

March 19. -That there will be a great variety of opinions on the tariff bill when It reaches the senate Is now certain according to expressions of senators In whose states are located the various Industries chiefly affected by the changes -of schedules proposed In the house bill. Reductions on lumber schedules will be sturdily resisted by the Senators Frye and Hale of Maine, and by some of the sena tors from the Pacific coast and from the extreme northwest. Senators from Minne sota, and North and South Dakota on the other hand will make strenuou: efort to secure free lumber. Instead of the mere reduction of the tariff as proposed by the house bill. The proposed Inheritance tax will be stoutly resisted and senators will have an opportunity to vote upon an amendment providing for an income tax. Free coal and hides also will be resisted and there Is llk.ly to be a strong fight against re ductions In the various Iron and steel schedules. While the general trend of the sentiment among senators favors an Increase In some of the schedules and while they generally believe that the house has made ample reductions to satisfy reformers, at least one republican senator, Mr. Cummins of Iowa, declares that the tariff should be made still lower and-that he will do every thing In his power to obtain further re ductions. Minnesota for Lower Schedule. The entire Minnesota delegation has steadily taken a leading part In advocat ing a reduction In the Iron and steel schedules and In the procurement of free coal and free lumber and the senators from state will continue to advocate that course as well as to Obtain a lower tariff on glass.

Stubbs Favored Single Control Haxriman's Traffic Manager Testifies in Merger Suit at Chicago. CHICAGO, March 19.-J. C. Stubbs, traffic. manager of the Harrlman lines, today broke the monotony of tlie government's suit to dissolve the so-called Harrlman merger. The line of examination, however, did not differ from that pursued with previous wit nesses, and the government continued to accumulate evidence of competition against western railroads prior to J901, when the alleged merger went Into effect. Mr. Stubbg read from the records of meetings held prior to 1901, quoting his own arguments In favor of plana for reducing or doing away with competition. That the placing of the 1'nlon Pacific, Southern Pacific and other roada under one control was a move to this end agreeable to the wishes of Mr. Stubbs. "The record of those old arguments helps the government a great deal, docs It not?" smiled C. A. Severance, the attorney gen eral's special assistant In this case. "It most assuredly docs," said Mr. Stubbs. "What I said at that time, however, waa merely argument; the board did not agree with me." "Two of them did," replied Mr. Severance.

Neb., March l!.-(Spcclal Tel egram.) Fallowing tho stormiest day of the legislative session. In which the, fate of tho bank guaranty bill, tho charter bills of three principal cities and the physical valuation and stock yards bills hung in the balance. Senator Ransom of IHntgln county consented to lot tho senate pass the guuranty hill. It went through shorn of tho emergency clause, but passing by a vote of 25 to 6 with this provision stricken out, "Mr. Bryan won't get a guaranty bill as a bouquet at tho bunauet tonight," re marked the Ikuglas county senior senator. Tho hill must now be concurred In by tho house, ns amended by the senate, then enrolled and sent to the governor. Tim house thin afternoon passed the Omaha charter bill by a vote of 7S to It, carrying the emergency clause. This meas ure Is In the samo form tt passed the sen ate, providing for an elective commission, with only a salary amendment added thnt Senator Ransom consented to being passed. Tho fate of tho South Omaha charter bill la yet undecided, being on general file, where It was put after having been post poned during today's battle. It Is to bo taken out again by the sifting committee at the first opportunity. Tho stock yards measure and tho physical valuation bill, with tho offonslvo stock yards amendment, are as yet up In tho air, but Senator Ran som has such a hold upon the legislature that he can crush the Independent spirit that manifested Itself today at any tima he desires and complete the program hith erto so successful. Hank, Bill si Pawn. Tonight the democratic hosts, members of the Democratic ISdttorlal association. In session here, and the members of the legis lature, sat at a dollar dinner In honor of the tilth birthday of tho Peerless Leuder, and hurrahed for democratic harmony, whllo tho men who had raged and threat ened during the day sat cowed In their seats. Tho bank bill was mado the lever by tho Douglas county senators to force considera tion of the charter bills. When tho house early In the day decided, to postpone the South Omaha charter bill. Senator Tanner at once requested that tho guaranty bill, which had como up for third reading, bo passed over for tho time. The smalt agreed. Ho was importuned by the demo cratic leaders to let the bank bill be passed but refused, and the othur Douglas county members stood with him. All day a contest raged betwoen the members of the house who were determined to force the bank bill and the Iiouglas county senators who wen as determined not to let It budge until tho houao acted on the charters and made other pledges. Senators Ransom and Tanner were called on the carpet by the governor and they stood pat Then the governor sent for the house leaders and Impressed upon them the absolute necessity of conceding to tho wishes of the senate. An under standing was reached that the South Omaha charter bill should be advanced also and that to save the face of tho party, the senate should vote on the guaranty bill so this news at least could be imparted to the silver tongued one later at the banquet. Called Vp at Closing Hoar. The bll was brought up for third read ing as the last business of the afternoon session. Being placed on passage con taining the emergency clause, the repub licans voted against tho bill for the pur pose of striking this out. The democrats did not have the nerve to do this them selves, though several of their number were extremely anxious the bill should not bo put In force on the day the governor will sign It. Ono or two of thorn came to the republicans and begged them not to give the measure enough support to In clude the emergency portion. As this would have had the result of overturning the present banking system at once, the bill received only nineteen votes contain ing the clause to twelve ngalnst. Sena tors Rannlng and La vert v were paired. Senator Rannlng being obliged to be ab sent. On the vote to pa the bill without tho emergency clause the roll call was as fol lows: Yc-as Rnrtna, Resse.

Senator King, In explaining his vote on the last roll rail, declared since It was necessary to strengthen the confidence of tho people In the banks of the at it a. owing to the Incidents of recent w.ii,,d and, though he regarded the bill aa unfair tn the two members of the banking hoard beside the governor, and believing that In enacting new laws there was always a risk of the constitutionality which miut be taken, he would vote for Ihe hill as the last resort to secure legislation of this kind. He hoped Ihe niHasure would stand the test of the courts, though, he said, there was doubt. Doubts Its Constltatloaalltr. Senator Myers In a long explanation de clared the bill was unconstitutional and that he hud little: doubt of this. How ever, he waa for a bank guaranty law and, whllo lie thought Ills own measure was the letter, he would vote for the bill. Ho declared ho bad expected Mr. Bryan to be ahle to draft a bill, l.ut found out there waa no hope from tt.ls flnnncial Moses. The legislature had been compelled to Heck aid from a coun try lawyer.
