Root empha- sized the fact that the new tariff of the Philippine Commission had gone into ef- fect only a few weeks ago, on vember 15, and he favored a continuance by Con- gress of the rates established by the com- fon. presentative Russell thereupon deter- mined not to further urge the proposition | he had put forward earlier in the day for a 15 per cent preference to American s The committee took no final action, ad- journing until to-morrow, when a measure may be agreed upon. After the meeting the members stated that the discussions and the hearing of Root hat é)rac‘lcally determined that the Taft rates of November 15 would be applied against goods entering the Philippines, and the Dingley rates against goods tering the United States from the Philippines.

Kane, secretary of the Paclfic Society for the Prevention of Vice, is de- termined to secure the possession of lit- tle Chin Ah Ying, a Chinese girl 9 years of age, and Mrs. Kate B. Lake, manager of the Chinese Mission at 912 Washington street, is equally determined that he shall not. The courts have been appealed to, and yesterday Judge Troutt set the first Monday in January as the time when all concerned shall appear and present their claims. Kane took the chnild from the kaunts of vice in which it had been liv- ing in Chinatown a year ago. He secured letters of guardianship over the little Ori- ental and then turned her over to the mission people. Now he claims that the little one’s mother is engaged as a domes- tic in a Christian family and is capable of raising heér offspring in a ritting manner. He has made demands upon Mrs. Lake for the girl, but she refuses to give her up. Mrs. Lake is at present out of the State, but an affidavit made by her was filed vesterday in which she says that the child if taken from her now will be ex- posed once again to the dangers from which she was rescued. The proceedings before Judge Troutt yesterday were on a citation issued com- manding Mrs. Lake to appear in court and show cause why she should not be punished for contem;)t for her failure to recognize an order of court. —e—— Charges Against Policemen.

Opening Statements of Coun- sel Will Be' Made on ‘Wednesday. ALTURAS, Dec. 9.—The last juror in the case of the people versus James W. Brown, the alleged lyncher, was sworn this afternoon after twelye days’ hard work by counsel. Only two talesmen out of a venire of 100 remained to be exam- ined, and it seemed for a time that the entire venire would be exhausted before the jury was obtained. TEe twelfth juror is J. N. Janes. Janes said that he believed that in some cases lynching was justifiable, but only in the | case of assailants of women and of men who committed murder with robbery as | the motive. After the jury had been sworn Judse Harrington ordered it into the custody of the Sheriff, with the usual admonition. This procedure was objected to by Attor- ney Raker for the defense, who declared that it had never been the custom in this county to remand a jury to the care of a Sheriff until the case was submitted. An adjournment until Wednesday was taken, because counsel for both sides de- sired to look over the testimony which was taken before the Grand Jury and to decide what witnesses examined then could be excused in this trial. The tran- script of the testimony taken before the Grand Jury is voluminous, aggregating 1800 typewritten pages. ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED IN COLLISION | Freight Trains Crash Together at a Sharp Curve on the Northern Pacific Railroad.

A few seconds later the engines met with a terrific smash on the middle of the bridge, partially derailing the en- gine of the extra.

SEATTLE, Dec. 9.—There is a race on |in the Superior Court between Franklin C. Tubbs and his wife, in which the former is endeavoring to recover property and win the divorce goal by the aid of allegations out of the ordinary. The Tubbs were married in Iowa in 1894, About that time Tubbs received a large sum from the Government in back pen- sion money, which he invested in Los Angeles real eState. Arriving in Everett, he ll{la.de a further investment of $2200 in realty. The year 1900, alleges the complaint, was an eventful period for the matrimonial firm of Tubbs and Tubbs. Mrs. Tubbs fell into the hands of spiritualists. She attended seances and listened to spirit tongues malign her lord. At these seances, the husband claims, it was the custom of his wife to sit by the side of Joseph Goldfinch. He charges Amanda Jenkens, Joseph Goldfinch and Harry Goldfinch with having alienated his wife's affections. Tubbs says that this trio told his wife in spiritualistic communications that he was not of the elect and that she should be divorced from him, for the spirits had decreed that she and Joseph Goldfinch should be mates. Acting upon this in- | spiration Mrs. Tubbs left her husband. Mrs. Tubbs was notified on ‘March 12, says the complaint, that the conspirators had received a communication from the spirits, who said it was time that she discontinued her relations with Tubbs. After an interview with his wife Tubbs agreed to a divorce and gave her the Everett property and a half-interest in the Los Angeles realty. Tubbs says he discovered that his wife was about to marry Joseph Goldfinch, so he wants his property returned to him. SUCCUMBS TO JOY OVER PROSPECT OF FREEDOM Felsom Convict Dies Suddenly on the Eve of His Liberation From Prison. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 9.—Joy at the prospect of his early restoration to lib- erty is believed to have caused the death of O. F. Gassaway, an aged prisoner in Folsom Pehitentiary. Gassaway had served two'terms in the State prisons. On December 15 he was sent from EI Dorado for four years on a charge of burglary. His brother was convicted of complicity in the same crime and they werel to have gained their liberty this morfiing. Death came suddenly to the | old man last night, however, before the hour of his freedom dawned. The prison officials say he had been partially para- lyzed and that the excitement consequent upon his coming liberation had much to do with his death. It is said here that Gassaway had a record as a 'stage robber near Nigger Tent, Nevada County. He was a well- known character in the early history of the State. —_— Sylva’s Demurrer Overruled. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 9—The demurrer interposed by Adolph Sylva of Sausalito to the complaint of Joseph Harvey was overruled this morning by Judge Angel- lotti and Sylva was given ten days to answer. Harvey, the poolroom man, com- menced a sensational suit against Sylva some weeks ago, wherein he alleged that Sylva was trying to defraud him out of a large sum of money in connection with the Sausalito Electric Company.

Marconi's Latest Establish- ment Located at Scene of Many Disasters. AWEI ki Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. JOHNS, N. F. (via North Sydney, B. C.), Dec. 9.—Signor Marconi and his assistants were occupied to-day in un- packing instruments and removing bal- loons and other material to the Cabot memorial tower. With the balloons there are several cylinders of compressed gas for inflating purposes. Another visit, this time in company with several Government officials, was paid to Signal Hill, and the question of a site upon which to conduct wireless tele- graphy experiments was thoroughly dis- | cussed., Near the tower are some old buildings which were in use years ago, when St. Johns was fortified, and Marconi | finally decided on one of these, selecting that nearest a large well of water. A lo- cal firm will prepare the ground by cov- ering it with sheets of zinc. Marconi cabled on Saturday to Liver- pool and New York, asking for the sailin dates of the Cunard and other mail Steamers, in order that he may know when to expect them near the Grand Banks, where he hopes to enter into com- munication with them. Signal Hill, where the first experiments lwflllhe made, is 700 feet above the sca evel. Marconi expresses his conviction that the station which 1t is proposed to erect near here will be one of the most impor- tnt in the world. The many wrecks wh have occurred in recent years in the vi- cinity of Cape Race might have been avoided if it had been possible for ships to communicate with the shore and ascer- tain their position. The interest of Marconl in this connee- tion was first aroused by the publication by the Marine and Fisheries Departmeut of Newfoundland of a chart showing points along the coast where in the past nearly eighty steamships and other ves- sels have come to grief. It is estimated that €00 or more lives have been lost by these disasters, and property to the value of over §20,000,000 destroyed. OSKALOOSA, lowa, Dec. S.—Rev. A. A.
