(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington June 7--The senate
will spend the greater portion of its
time this week in the consideration
of the woolen schedule and it is the
hope of Senator Aldrich that final ac
tion will be had upon this section of
the measure before the close of the
week. Nearly two weeks were con

mil Luuoiticinuuu uiiu nuutru
paragraphs are subject to the same
sort of attack as was made upon the
cottons. Senator Dolliver in his first
speech assailed the woolens and is
prepared to continue the attack, as is
Senator LaFoJlette and others. If
the woolen schedule can bo disposed
of this week Senator Aldrlch will
then be in a position to predict with
greater accuracy the time When the
bill will reach a final; vote.
Representative Payne, of New
York, whon asked today how long he
thought the tariff bill would be in
conference, said that was a question
no one could answer, because 'the
house might wish to inquire into the
senate amendments before sending
the bill to conference.
If the house is 'disposed to yield
nnd accept the senate amendments to
the Payne bill, then, it is said, there
will be no delay In getting the bill
into conference, which means that
the senate will win out. The real
bone of contention in conference, it
Is claimed, will be the senate's
amendment placing a duty on crude
petroleum, This amendment may be
reported to the senate this week.
The senate met at 1 0 : 3 ii o'clock.
A resolution offered by Senator Cur
tis, of Kansas, was asgreed to, call

other paragraph of the cotton sched
ule was parsed.
CRIMK IX SAVANNAH.
More Arrests Since Prohibition Went
Into Effect lint Not so Many
Charged to Whiskey.
(By Leased Wire lo The Times)
Savannah, Ga., .Tunc 7 -Although
It has been charged that the prohibi
tion law lb openly defied here the re
port of Chief of Police Austin for the
first year of the operation of the law
shows a decrease of 147 In the num
ber of arrests for drunkenness com
pared with 1907, when the saloons
were open. The total arrests for
1908 were 8.483. which Is 414 in ex
cess of the previous year, but Austin
reports a marked decrease in the
number of arrests for offenses usual
ly creaiica to wnisKey.
A remarkable feature of tho report
Is the statement that there Is not a
gambling houso In the city, all having
been Closed during 1908.' Before the
prohibition law went Into effect Sa
vannah was regarded af a wide open
town In the matter of gambling, but
under the first year of prohibition
every gambling place wag closed.

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Boston, Mass., June 7 Itev. Mary
Baker O. Kcldy, the head of the First
Church, of Ch.rlxtiiin Scientists, is dis
pleased over the assertion ot Mis.
Delia M. Gilbert, of Hrooklvn, that
she' is ''"either dead or a helpless,
mindless' puppett" In the hands of
conscienceless men. She has dictat
ed a statement, in refutation of this,
which is to be made public. For
hours yesterday and today this wo
man, over 87 years of age, worked
upon this statement to the public,
dictating to the stenographer.
At 1 o'clock precisely this after
noon Mrs. Eddy was driven from her
homo in Chestnut Hill, Urookllne, in
the covered carriage now so familiar
to all the residents of that part of
Brook line." Secretary Calvin A. Frye
occupied his accustomed place at the
ieu oi me u river.
Representatives from many news
papers were grouped at tiie mansion
occupied by the head of the Chris
tian Science Church to see her take
her carriage ride to disprove state
ments that she was either dead or
helpless. Today in addition to dictat
ing the statement to the public, re
garding Mis. Gilbert's charges, Mrs.
I'.ddy met the representatives of her
different publications and talked long
with them on questions of policy and
practice in their several departments.
"She is well and alert, wonderful
ly so ofr a woman of 87," said Pri
vate Secretary Dickey today. .. "livery
day, rain or shine, she takes her
drive. Her efficiency mentally she
proves by the vast amount of work
she accomplishes dally. She is deep
ly interested in all of the publica
tions and meets the persons respon
sible for each, every day.
"With them she considers ; the
work they are doing, suggests im
provements, new features or reminds
them of things she disapproves of.
She often dictates to them articles to
be printed, or corrects other articles
which in one way or another she
deems to require correction or amend
ing. '
"She is healthy, alert, vigorous
physically for her years, and vigorous
as anyone mentally." "
"Mrs. Eddy," said a servant, "why
she's perfectly well. She drlvtai out
every day and shows such remark
able strength that we all wonder at
her."
: Mrs. Eddy's Statement.
Boston, Mass., June 7. The fol
lowing signed statement was given
out today:
"Chestnut Hill, Mass., June 7.
"To whom It may concern:
"I have the pleasure to report to
one and all of my beloved frienghs
and followers that I exist i ntho flesh
and am snen dally by the members
of my household and by those with
whom I have appointments.
"Above all this fustian of either
denying or asserting the personality
and presence of Mary Baker Eddy,
stands the eteftial fart of Christian
Science and the honest history of Its
discoverer and founder. It is self
evident that the discoverer of an
eternal truth cannot be a temporal
fraud.
"The cause of Christian Scienco is
prospering throughout the world and
stands forever as an eternal and dem
ohstable science and I do not regard
this attack upon , me 'as a trial, for
when these things cease to bless they
will cease to occur.
"And we know that all things
work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are called ac
cording to His purpose. What shall
we then say to toes things? If Qod
be for us who can be against us? .

Jackson, Ky., J line 7 Kent uck v's
reign of blood is on again. Kd. Cal
lahan, former ''sheriff " of llrealhllt
county and a notorious feudist, was
shot by ah assassin early today and
is said to be dying. The shooting ot
Callahan, chief lieutenant ot Judge
Hargis throughout the famous ten-
year feud of the Hargls-Cockrell fac
tions in "bloody Ureatliitt county'
was the signal for a combat that is
expected to end only when state
troops have overwhelmed the section
about Crocket tsville. Kor the last
four days it has been expected that a
bloody clash was coming. The Jrouble
began last Thursday night when A. S.
Johnson,- one of the "had men" of
Ureatliitt-county- was arrested after
lie had-threatened Judge J. P. Adams,
a friend of the Hargis faction. John
son was a member of the Deaton fac
tion, generally considered heir to
the hatred borne the HargiB band by
the now extinct Cockrcll faction.
Judge Adams left town as soon as
be heard of the threats while John
son with "bad Jake" Noble, another
member of the Deaton band "shot
up'"-' the town. The two men were
landed behind Die bars after the Har
gis band had aided Die authorities in
overpowering them. Tlie news of the
arrests of the two members of the
Deaton band was a signal lor Die
gathering of the .-members of the var
ious fact ions.
.Men from' both sides were sent into
the mountains- to enlist the aid of
their respective" sympathizers. The
call of Die fCtid was answered at once
and men armed with rifles hurried
into the town. The outbreak of open
hostilities has been expected hourly
since Johnson and Noble was ri-rest-ed.
It Is believed that the man who
shot Callahan Is one of the leaders
of the Deaton faction. He has been
spirited away and is now in hiding in
some out-of-the-way spot. Callahan,
Die wounded man, is one of the most
desperate members of tho Hargis fac
tion. In a fight in his store at Crock,
etlsville on .May 4th.-l!)ns, he was
stabbed by bis .-brolhcr-lii-law. John
Spicer. A 'moment' later ; Splcer was
shot by Callahftii's son Wilson, and
fell dead across Callahan's body. At
that time it was believed that Calla
han was fatally wounded but with his
remarkable- vitality he. recovered.
Callahan and Spicer had been at
odds ever since Mrs, Callahan had
left her husband. ..Judgments had
been found against the ex-slierlff on
the strength of his 'complicity In the
murder of James It. Marcuni. He
was shot to death by Hargis' nephew,
Curtis ,lelt, while-Hargis and Calla
han looked on. Spicer entered Cal
Inhan's store and asked If the ex
slieriff intended to pay off the judg
ments and be reconciled with his
wife. Callahan leape! over the coun
ter and struck at Spicer, who drew a
knife and nearly severed the ex-sheriff's
right arm. Callahan fell and
was stabbed again and again. At.
the same time in Ihls city Daniel
White, a Hargis feudist, shot Jim Ku
gate, of the Cockrell faction dead.
Some time nl'terwards Beech Hargis
shot and killed his father and after
two trials was found guilty and sen
tenced to life imprisonment.
