2 ADOICKS TRIES TO STAVE OFF ACTION Vest’s Free Coal Resolution Goes Over. AVtRY SPICY DISCUSSION The House Passes a Resolu'ion Authoring the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Con.- mittee to Invesl'gtte the Coal Si’uation. <By the Associated Tress.) Washington, Jan. 12.—A lively debate was precipitated in the Senate today par ticipated in by Messrs. Aldrich, Vest and Carmack, when the former endeavored to secure a postponement of the Vest reso lution requiring the Committee on Fi nance to prepare and report a bill re moving the duty on coal. Mr. Aldrich announced there were strong hopes of action being taken elsewhere with the view to removing the duty on coal. The proposition was not acceptable io Mr. Vest, wtio vigorously objected, saying that he had no assurance that anything will bo done in any other place. “Cir cumstantial evidence," he said, “is strongly against any suc-h assumption.” No action has been taken, he said, and so suspicion of any action lias been seen anywhere and therefore under existing conditions to allow this resolution to go into the uncertain and nebulous future would be equivalent to its defeat. Mr. Vest called attention to the action of the Logislatre of Rhode Island, Jan uary 8, unanimously voting for the re moval of the duty on coal. Mr. Vest Raid he did not want to embarrass the Senator from Rhode Island, who was am ply able to defend himself, hut his de sire waa to place before t.he Senate proof of the sentiment of free coal now existing. Mr. Vest again reverted to what he Palled his “unfortunate reference to Mr. Dlngley” which had been so vigorously resented and sent to the desk and had read a letter from Congressman Flem ing, of Georgia, enclosing one from for mer Representative King, of Utah, de tailing a conversation he had with Mr. DingT'v at the time the Dingley bill was under consideration in Congress in which be is said to have apprehended changes in the bill, which were necessary to ob tain foreign markets for American goods and that 'h~ trend of Mr. Dingley’s mind was in that direction. Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, charged that reciprocity has been “strangled" by protection. “It has been murdered in cold blood by protection.” he said. The j beneficiaries cf the protected manufae- . turles and the protected trusts, he said. ] have appropriated to themselves every particle of the tariff duties provided in the Dingley act. Mr. Aldrich said the remarks of the Senator from Missouri and the Senator from Tennessee onlv confirmed his for mer statement that the resolution was for pn ether ruroosc than to discuss ques tions outside the ccsl question. The res olution went over Mr. Nelson continued his remarks in opposition to the Omnibus statehood bill and had rot concluded at 4 o'clock, when the Senate took up unobjectcd pension bills on the calendar, al arge number of which were passed. At 5:10 p. m., the Senate adjourned out of respect to the memory of the late Representative Tongue of Oregon. Proceedings in the House. (By she Associated Press.) Washington. D. C„ lan. 12.—The House today after adopting a resolution to au thorize the Merchant Marine and Fish eries Committee to investigate the coal situation at or.ee adjourned out of re spect to the memorv of the late Repre sentative Tongue, of Oregon, who died in this city yesterday. The usual reso lutions of regret were adopted and a committee was appointed to attend the funeral. The resolution to investigate the coal situation recites the fact that, a resolution has been introduced to ex tend the privilege of carrying coal to coastwise ports to foreign steamers for forty days, because the present scarcity of coal in the North Atlantic States in volves great suffering and distress, and authorizes the committee to investigate “facts, charges and necessities; to in quire into the elements and conditions involved in said coal trade supplying said North Atlantic States, the cost of coal, the methods, facilities and cost of transportation and distribution of the same, and the reasons or causes of such scarcity and distress.” The committee is directed to make such investigation and report the testi mony. with their conclusions thereon, as soon as possible and the committee is given power to send for persons and pa pers to administer oaths, etc., and incur 6uch expenses as may be deemed neces sary. The meetings are to be held in Wash ington and in such other placss as the committee may determine. TO BEMOVE DUTY OB COAL. CopgrMi Expected to Pas» a Bill Within a Few D*y«- (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Jan. 12.—1 t is expected that Congress will pass a bill removing the duty or 67 cents a ton on coal im ported into this country. This bill may take the form of a rebate or drawback for ninety days, and also will provide for reciprocity, admitting free of duty coal imported into this country rom coun tries granting the same privilege to the United States. This means that Canada will allow Nova Scotia to come into this country free, while coal from the Alle ghanies and westward will go into Canada free of duty. The Ways and Means Committee will meet tomorrow and according to the present program re port a bill on the above lines. It is expected the bill will pass the House to morrow. It will be taken up in the Senate very soon, and the intention is to bave it pass without much delay. A number of Republicans * heretofore have been opposed to changing the duty on coal, said they would not oppose the bill, provided it did not open up the whole tariff question and afford an opportunity to offer innumerable amendments. Chairman Payne said that the *-"”s and Means Committee would meet to morrow and consider the coal bills. Sev eral bills have been referred to the committee, some providing for a suspen sion of the duty for a fixed period, more for a rebate and others for the removal of the duty without limit. Mr. Payne said he thought the committee would take some action either or a suspension of the coal duty or a rebate. MRS.J.OpFOIIID Cruelly and Inhumanly Treat ed. Sought Refuge at Arlington Hotel.

New York, Jan. 10.—Customs officials tonight arrested Jacob Von Sternbergcn charged with smuggling tobacco, and a search was made of the Red Star steam ship Finland, lying in the North River. Von Sternbeigen, who is employed on the vessel, was found to be wrapped with tobacco, which was cleverly concealed under his clothing. Several months ago the customs in spectors, unearthed a plot to bring Sumatra tobacco from Antwerp into the United States without the payment of duty. Two seizures of considerable pro portions resulted. Tonight inspectors Hoolcy, Angler and Nevins saw Von Sternbergcn leave the Finland, and no ticing that he was of peculiar shape, halted and searched him. They found many thin bundles of tobacco under his clothing. The vessel was then searched, and while the officers were at work the crew of the Finland made a raid on the dynamo room for the purpose of shut ting off the electric lights. The chief engineer and the customs house inspec tors drew their revolvers and drove the men back. The inspectors then sought the police assistance and completed their search. They did not succeed, how ever. in finding any more tobacco. Six customs and police officers arc now in charge of the vessel. A 3450,000 MILL.

Dencen upon information furnished him by the spe cial committee appointed by the Illinois Manufacturers Association i]csulted in the convening today of a special grand jury to inquire into the causes for the high prices demanded for coal by Chicago dealers. Judge McEwon's charge was brief and confined largely to the defining of the duties of the jurors. “It is not necessary to indulge in any language,” lie said after reading to them the State Attorney’s petition, “to im press upon yo'i or upon any fair-minded person the crime and infamy of such a situation as is here set forth. Your duties with regard to the investigation are set forth in the oath you have taken.” The jury then retired to enter upon its investigation.

Short:idge Speaks ss one liupired, (By the Associated Press.) San Diego, California, Jan. 10.—With the court room packed to the limit of its capacity, with people perched in window sills, and an immense throng struggling to retain possession of seats in the re mote parts of the corridors, Samuel M. Shortridge of San Francisco, began the closing argument of the defendant in the Tingley-Timcs libel suit today. Mr. Shortridge said: “Who is the plaintiff in this cage? whence does she come?

Who is this plaintiff of unknown past?” Speaking of the mysterious power which he said Mrs. Tingley exercised over others, Mr. Shortridge said: “We see full grown men surrender their individuality: willing to become her subjects: willing to appear as servitors in her royal retinue. The power this woman exercise is extraordinary and re pugnant to the spirit of Americanism. It goes back to the dark ages- and to foreign countries. She claims to be the successor of Madame Blavatsky and William Q. Judd, a successor, self-ap pointed. She has taken her seat on the throne and citizens are to do her bid ding. She is vested with life tenure and with power to appoint her own succes sor and with power to cast into outer darkness such members of her organiza tion as come under her displeasure. It is a power autocratic, un-American and un-Christian. No despot of Constanti nople ever claimed to exercise such power over men and women as Mrs. Katherine Tingley docs, and strangest of all, she does it with their consent.” TWO KILLED IN A COLLISION- Freight and Shifting Engines Bush Together on the Yard at Columbia.
