C, June 1 The Jirst clay of the trial In New Hanover buperlor court of the case of Hugh O. Wallace against C. C. Covington, an action for $20,000 alleged dam ages for an alleged libelous utter ance of the latter in a public speech during the campaign of last year, was featured by a sensational encounter between ex-Mayor A. G. Ricaud, of counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. C C. Covington, the defendant. Mr,'.Covliigt.oa Wffs called "to the stand by the plaintiff for t.ie purpose of ascertaining his worth. The ques tion was asked by ex-Mayor A. G. Ricaud, and Mr. Covington answered the question stating that he was worth $50,000 and all his debts paid. Mr. Ricaud remarked, "I want to congratulate you." Mr. Covington replied, "That is more than you can say," and some state that Mr. Covington pointed !ils linger at Mr. Ricaud in making this assertion. Mr. Ricaud replied to the effect that the witness was not more hon est than he (Mr. Ricaud): that be would protect himself against any such personal references of witness; that should he make such answer he would thrash him in the court room If the court sent him to Jail for do ing It. Judge Peebles here took a band In the verbal combat, declaring most emphatically that he would most surely send counsel to jail if lie thrashed a man in the court room or persisted in such talk.' "It's your honor's prerogative," said Mr. Ricaud. "Yes-, I will exercises it, too," said Judge Peebles, who stated that the attorney had better Bit down. Judge Peebles then turned to Mr. Covington, who was still on the wit ness stand and said in effect, "You had better be careful about answer ing counsel in such manner, or you will be sent to jail. You started this trouble." This ended the collo quy and the witness was then turn ed over to counsel for the defendant for examination. The action grew out of an utter ance attributed to Mr. Covington in a public speech last summer, it being alleged that he brande-1 Mr. Wal lace as a self-confes3ed thief upon the strength of a statement Mr. Wal Ince was said to have made to per sons at the union station about hav ing the election fixed to suit the anti prohibition element. Mr. Covington claims that he qualified his state ment, while plaintiff contends that he did not. The trial will continue for several days longer.

Oscar- liiidorwood is a good gen eral. No man in congress has grown more than he. In the battle over lhe revision ot the woolen schedule lie kept his head and had his wav.

Finally Mr. Brvan called . the opponents of the Underwood-clui'li ..school together and netiiallv urged them to deletit the committee s wool bill. In an ef fort to have his wav be threatened Mi'. Clark, who, in turn, told bun to crack his whip." Failing, to budge the. leaders here he gave out un edi torial, prepared for the Commoner, denouncing those who intend to vo.e lor a revenue dutv on "wool. '"The democratic voters," said Mr. lirvan, ' know -that all 'needed reve nue ran bo raised in less oppressive wavs and thev know the argument that the tanft on wool Is proposed as a revenue tariff is merely a subter tuge, einploved because those who employ it. are ashamed to say that thev lavor -protection.

In reply to this Mr. Underwood said We found we could increase the amount .of .revenue bv reducing the duties on manulactured wool, but we could not increase them sutficient.lv to make up for the $21,000,000 raised by raw wool. The committee, therefore, determined 1hut it was necessary to levy a small tax on raw wool to make up the deficiency in revenue and to-make schedule K pa v the $40.:HMl.(IO() now collected under it at the 'custom houses. There is $20.0'0,00il collected from 'manu lactured and $21,0011,000 from un manufactured wool. The committee has. cut the whole schedule one-hall in two. It has re duced the dutv . on '' .manufactured goods as low as under the Wilson bill that Mr. Bryan voted for when raw wool was put on the free list. In thai reduction the committee has fallen short, for the $4 0,01)1). (Hit) now raised, some $13,000,000, and it is necessary to secure this revenue, to plave a revenue tax on raw wool im ported into the V lilted States." Mr. llryan tried to defeat Mr Fitzgerald tor chairman of the house committee on appropriations and sen ator Martin for minority leader of lhe senate, but failed.

June ' 1 With Its probable hearings on the tariff policy of the democratic party In the future the caucus of the bouse democrats to consider the Underwood bill for re vising the wool schedule of the Pavne-Aldrlch tariff law, held the undivided attention of political Washington today. The fight be tween the advocates of free raw wool and those who tavor a duty "for rev enue only , was interesting enough in nselt, but William Jennings Bry an coming into the fraw a few days ago served to stir up matters to a still higher pitch.

Chairman I'flderwecS was confident that Bry an s entrance into the fight would not materially change the situation. The bill presented to the democratic caucus at noon today makes reduc tions of one-half to two-thirds In all wool duties. Raw wool, free In previous democratic tariff bills,. Is given a duty of 20 per cent, advalo rein, equivalent to from three to five cents a pound.
