Camorra Members
Ridicule and Jeer
Famous Detective
Prisoners o nTrial Vary Program of
Invective by Mocking One of Star
Witnesses for Prosecution.
VITKRBO, Aug. 4.-M a trial for murder
can be In any sense funny the description
fits today's proceedings In the Camorra
case. The prisoners themselves were re
sponsible for the diversion. From the start
they have used every means to confuse the
state's witnesses, usually hurling angry
invectives. Today they adopted the more
potent weapon of ridicule and mercilessly
jeered Marshal Farrls, to the undisguised
amusement of every one else.
Farrls Is the third of the famous trio
of detectives to be heard against the
Camorrlsts. He is a serious man and on
the stand assumed the delivery of a
preacher. The effect was accentuated by
an unfortunate nasal twang. The prisoners
were not slow to see their opportunity and
before the witness had proceeded far there
was a groan from the great steel cage,
followed by sighs and sobs, first half sup
pressed and then seemingly uncontrollable,
as the prisoners pretended to be greatly
affected by what they heard. This mock
ery continued, the witness being further
interrupted with quotations from the
church service.
"A certain man named Guzzl purchased
a beautiful girl," droned the witness.
"Amen," shouted a prisoner and a chorus
of "amens" drowned, his voice.
"Purchased her through the Camorra,"
continued the detective.
"Ora pro nobis (pray for us), ora pro
nobis, ora pro nobis," cb anted the prison-
era. Bo. aha interrogation proceeded.
House Republicans
Are Urged to Return
Representative Dwight Fear Attempt
to Pass Free List and Wool Bills
Over President's Veto.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Fears that a
coalition of democratic and insurgent re
publicans in the house might be able to
pass the wool tariff revision and farmers'
free list bill over President Taft's veto
should he make use of it caused Repre
sentative John Dwight, the republican
whip, today to send a telegram to all the
absent republican members of the house
urging them to hurry to Washington.
Mr. Dwight announced this step at the
White House after he had talked with
President Taft and Secretary Hilles. There
are at present 389 members of the house
and two vacancies. Of the members 224
are democrats. 161 republicans, of whom
129 are classed as regulars. 1 Independent
republican and 1 socialistic. Two-thirds of
the membership would be 259. leaving the
regular republicans shy by two votes of
the one-third they need In case the total
membership was present when the bill waa
reconsidered.
"When the bill was reconsidered, Mr.
Dwight, however, confidently counts on the
support of at least three men who voted
for the wool revision bill and other revision
measures when they passed the house the
first time.
These men, he said, would draw the line
a parsing th bill over a presidential veto.
There la no doubt, however, that the vote
In the house would be close and Mr.
Dwight showed that he would use every
means In his power to hurry the absent re
publicans back Into the fold.
So far as the White House Is concerned
the situation In the house Is more alarm
ing than that In the senate, although Sen
ator Penrose also la engaged In keeping
republican senator In town. It waa said
today that the democrats and Insurgent
republicans in that body would lack a re
quisite number of votes If it came to a
question of overriding the president's veto
on a revision bill.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Dtel
company and former president of the
United States Steel corporation, faced, the
house committee of Inquiry Into the steel
corporation today.
He was questioned about the incorporation
of the United States Steel corporation; Just
prior to that he said he was president of
the Carnegie Steel company.
The chairman asked Mr. Schwab to tell
the whole story about Andrew Carnegie's
desire to dispose of his property, the pre
liminary conference with J. P. Morgan and
his part In the plans which developed Into
the formation of the United States Steel
corporation.
"I am very glad of the opportunity," Mr.
Schwab began, "once and for all definitely
to tell the story about which there have
been so many misstatements and so much
misinformation. In the fall of 1S99, J. Ed
waid Simmons, a prominent New York
banker, and Mr. Charles Stewart Smith,
tendered me a dinner at the University
club. There were present Mr. Morgan, Mr.
Carnegie and seventy or eighty prominent
Tew York financiers. There I made an ad
dress and chose for my remarks the future
development of manufacturing steel In the
United States. I explained the great ad
vantage to be gained by the organization
of such corporations as United States
Steel. There I outlined what became later
the steel corporation. I gave my reasons in
detail."
Economy Central Thonaht.
"I showed first how I thought that In
stead of many companies manufacturing
the same line of goods, that by organiza
tion many companies could get together
and manufacture different Items. That
would result In great economy. I showed,
secondly, how by such an organization
there would be great economy in distribu
tion. In my proposal there was no thought
of limitation of production or the mainte
nance of price. The possibility of ninety
blast furnaces coming together in that way
in producing economy proved so great, that
recently at the Brussels conference I advo
cated the Idea of all Independent manufac
turers exchanging their cost sheets for
the ultimate benefit of the steel Industry."
Talk with Morgan.
The witness said that some time after the
dinner at Pittsburg he saw Mr. Morgan at
his home here, and added:
"Mr. Morgan asked me to go over again
In detail the suggestion I made at the
University club dinner. I talked with him
on the subject for several hours, expanding
my Ideas of forming the organization of
the steel manufacturers. Mr. Morgan told
me that he was convinced of the advan
tages of such an organization and he aaked
me if I oould get a price from Mr. Carnegie
for his steel plants. I told him I would see. J
About a week later I spent tne day witn
Mr. Carnegie and I told him what was
In my mind and that Mr. Morgan had re
quested me to get a price for his steel
plant. I advised Mr. Carnegie that In view j
of his advanced age and hla philanthropic
Ufa he ought to sell. I told htm I thought
he would be benefited by such a sale. Mr.
Carnegie received the proposition with a
great deal of reluctance, but finally -he
agreed to sell. It Is my private polnion
that ahortly afterward he very much re
gretted It
"I got a price from Mr. Carnegie and
took It to Mr. Morgan. Beyond being con
sulted about details with reference to the
properties I had nothing further to do
with the organization of the United States
Steel corporation."
"At the time of the organization of the
steel trust," Mr. Stanley asked, "did you
oppose the Idea of restricting competition T"
"I have said there was no such Idea
In the steel organization," Mr. Schwab re
plied. Maryland Valjean is

waa proceeding through Vineyard sound in
the starlight early today the vessel sud
denly ran on a rock off Nobska Point.
The passengers, awakened hy the Impact,
scrambled on deck In their night clothing,
but they found there was no Immediate
danger, and returned to their berths.
The Bunker Hill backed off easily In.a
short time. The pumps were then set to
work and the steamer, leaking badly, pro
ceeded to Vineyard Haven harbor, where
she remained for several hours. Soon after
sunrise the passengers were transferred to
the steamer Uncantenla, and thence to
Boston by train.
While no official statement has been

BERLIN. Aug. 4.-The end of tha

Some time will be consumed disposing of

HARRINGTON AFTER HARMAN
O'Neill Man Openly Accuses Holdrege
Man of Bein Railroad Tool.
CITES CAMPAIGN OF C0WGHI
Asserts He Waa Railroad' Candidate
and that Harms. Knew It and
. . Dares Latter 4a Sac Ulna ,.
(or Libel.
"Mike" Harrington, now comes out openly
and says that C. B. Harman of Holdrege
Is one of tha men he had In mind at Fre
mont when he made an open charge In his
speech to the democratic convention that
the railroads were endeavoring to nom
inate candidates for the railway commis
sion on both the republican and democratic
tickets. Mr. Harrington gives out this
statement for publication:
To the uemrocaia oi iseDrasaa: v nne
delivering my address as temporary chair
man of the state convention at Fremont, I
said that at the present time the railroads
were endeavoring to nominate In the Au
gust primaries the candidates on both the
republican and democratic tickets, and that
only the propriety of the occasion and
chairmanship lockjaw restrained ma from
naming at that time the candidate whom
the railroads were endeavoring to nominate
in our primaries. I stated furthermore
tha after the convention was over I would
name this railroad democrat.
"There are four men seeking the demo
cratic nomination for railway commis
sioner. They are: W. J. Furse, who is
now serving as a railway commissioner,
having been appointed by Governor Shal
lenberger to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of William H. Cowglll; G. S. Upton,
a successful and Intelligent farmer resid
ing in Cass county; B. M. 81ms of Alma
and C. E. Harman of Holdrege. All of
these, except Mr. 81ms, have also filed
on the people's Independent ticket.
"In my statement from the platform at
Fremont no candidate, of course, was
named, but after the convention vas over
and before 1 left Fremont, persons fu miliar
with the situation came to me and e.ther
asked mo who It was that I meant or
promptly named Mr. Harman c.i their own
motion. Indeed, at Fremont I did not name
Harman to any person except one, unless
that man first named Harman to me.
No person suggested that there was any
suspicion that any of the other three can
didates were being backed iy the I all
roads for the nomination. Those who und
erstood the situation all pointed Ii.imed
iately to Mr. Harman.
" At Fremont I was introduced to Mr.
Harman by Mr. Fred Ashton at the T'tiUm
depot. Mr. Harman asked me it he was
the imui that I meant and I told him planly
tint he was. It was only a few minutes
till train time so what was said was said
rather hurriedly and Mr. Ham. an was
much excited and made some nanitg.lons
that he probably now regrets. I told him
that In the campaign of three years ago
he was the man who was In the fight push
ing along William H. Cowglll. Owing to
the fact that Mr. Cowglll Is dead I regret
to have to mention his name, but it what
I do say I will simply deal with Mr. liar
man's conduct In the campaign, omini'.tinir
the part played by Mr. Cowglll. except as it
may come in incidentally.
"He told me that he had worked as hard
as he could for Cowglll. I told him that in
that campaign the railroads had used every
Influence they couldd to elect Cowglll over
Williams and had succeeded, and that he
was right into the effort with the roads
to elect Cowglll. He admitted that he had
helped to elect Cowglll and said that
right before election he was at Grand
Island and saw the written Instruction
fciven out by the Union Pacific to ita men
to vote for Cowglll. He made this admis
sion In the presence of several persons.
He also named another democrat who wa
favored by these Instructions at that
point He also intimated that I wa using
this situation generally to nominate Mr.
Furae. I wish to say to the democrats of
the state that I have only a nominal
speaking acquaintance with Mr. Furse. As
They Represent Differences that Exist
Between Houses.

committee to consider and report on tha
differences between the two houses. The
motion for their appointment, made by
Senator Bailey, was on the ground that
they represent the extreme elements of the
senate and house respectively.
With a full attendance and determined
upon prompt action, the committee met at
10 o'clock. The regular republican commit
tee members, Including Senators Penrose
and Cullom and Representatives Payne and
Dalzell, were among the earliest arrivals
and when the question of the participa
tion of the four In the proceedings was
raised in connection with their refusal at
one time to participate, Senator La . Fol
lette expressed the desire that they should
remain.
"I know," he said to Senator Penrose,
"that you will help us to make the fight
for 36 per cent on wool."
The Pennsylvania senator responded that
he would be pleased to do so.
Mr. Penrose, however, as chairman of
the senate branch of the committee, had
scarcely called the committee to order
when Senator Bailey suggested a transfer
of the details of the proposed compromise
to the Wisconsin senator and the chair
man of the ways and means committee. .
Subcommittee Urging Work,
There was no opposition. There, was,
however, some discussion, bringing out
general recognition that the two men rep
resent all the differences that exist be
tween the two houses. All the committee
members agreed today that If they could
get together there would be no further de
lay In reaching a complete settlement. They
will report to the full committee tomorrow.
Upon the appointment of the sub-committee
the other members withdrew, leav
ing the two combatants to fight the battle
alone and unobserved.
Both Mr. La Follette and Mr. Underwood
entered upon the contest smiling, making
it evident that whatever the dlfferencea
of conviction, the contest was to be waged
in good nature on both sides.
The conferees generally expressed con
fidence in the harmonious conclusion of tho
conference, but all admitted ' the prob
ability of a strenuous struggle. The gen
eral belief was that a compromise on a
raw wool duty, between 25 and 30 per cent,
would be agreed to.
The republican leaders of the senate were
ttlll engaged In getting absentees back be
cause bf the apprehension that there may
be an effort to pass the wool and free list
bills over the president's veto. Among
those returning today was Senator Gug
genheim, who had reached New York on
his way to Europe. Congratulated on his
safe return, he assured his colleagues that
he had not been In the least seaalok.
