Attorney General Warned That Sheriff Is Armed.

Nashville, Term. March A personal encounter between Attorney General McCarn and Sheriff Borun was narrowly averted after court adjourned this afternoon in the trial of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, his sot. Robin and John D. Sharp for the murder of States Senator Carmack.

Hot words exchanged, and for a moment It looked E.E though serious trouble would follow. In bis argument to the Jury this afternoon Me- Cam charged that Coopers and Sharp had rev-r occupied cells, that they enjoyed special privileges, and that In granting these privileges the law was violated- When McCarn started to leave the building he was confronted at the head of the by the big Sheriff. "I understand, general," latter began, "that 3-ou I have accorded to Coopers end Sharp privileges I do not extend to other prisoners. you said that you told a falsehood." McCara stepped up close to the Sheriff and said coolly: a little careful what yo-u ray. Bam.

I said had violated the law of Tennessee In permitting prisoners to confer together without an officer present." 'If I have violated say law, I'll apologise." "Well, you come Into my ofTice and I'll eho-w you the code." "I don't want to see the code," retorted the Sheriff hotly; "I am responsible for my office." A friend at McCarn's leaned over and whispered: 'ieaerai, the Sheriff Is armed." McCarn's friends hurtled him away. "McCarn, when Sharp was ed, told me," ttid Borum. "he did not wish him to have access to Colonel Cooper. I was able to fix that, as in the oid Jail I had a room on the ground floor. I put Sharp irro it and told him he must not go up to Colonel Cooper's room.

He was an a gentleman, ar.d entitled to some consideration. "A little later Robin Cooper was to be brought to Jail from St. Thomas's Hospital. McCarn telephoned me that he wanted Robin kept separate from the others. I had made up my mind not to do It.

The boy was Just recovering from a wound, and the old father had me. 'Don't take my boy i waj from I told McCarn I wouldn't do it." Judge Andercon finished the argument for the defence early this forenoon and Attorney General Mc- took up the closing argument for prosecution. His speech bristled with Invective. At one point few eald. "All the devils in hell cannot deter me from my duty." It waf expected that arguments would be finished by to-night, but Genera! McCarn declared he was exhausted about 6 p.

MR. CARfIEGIE REPLIE Plea for Co-operation of the English Speaking Race. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: suggested co-operation of Britain and America arose from an article In "The United Service Magazine." of London, and a response thereto by Rear Admiral Goodrich, of our navy, in "The Army and Navy Magazine." These articles are worth reading as of the times. It must surely be evident to thinking men that the present race between nations for naval superiority cannot continue, since no matter what one may build the others -trill be forced to follow.

It Is not yet three years since President Roosevelt proclaimed that we had then sufficient navy; all that remained was to keep It efficient, for which only one battleship a year was needed. This year four battleships, each of far tonnage than the one thought necessary before, were demanded. Admiral Goodrich well says that "every effort and every proposition made In this direction" no reduce the present formidable armaments), "no matter how chimerical It may appear, should therefore be carefully studied." My idea was. and is that America should take the treaty between Britain and Japan as an example, with such modifications as may be necessary, and strengthen each other bo that both Britain and America might safely restrict future buildj Ing of battleships. In your editorial you seem to maintain that an advocate of peace Is Inconsistent who would thus eeek to render Increased armaments unnecessary.

I do not think bo. I feel about peace as Lincoln did in regard to the preservation or the Union- if he could preserve the Union with slavery he would do it; If he had to abolish slavery to preserve the Union he would do that- So I think slncer- lovers i of peace should take any honorable means to secure It- "We can only expect armies and battle- I ships to be reduced gradually as man advances in I civilization, which, happily, he Is rapidly doing. I do not think you are correct in Baying "Mr. Carnegie's plan would compel America and Britain to maintain their navies at their full present size, 1 if not materially to increase them." Japan and Britain have agreed that each will protect certain possessions of the other In case of attack. Britain Is thus assured of aid from Japan i against feared aggression In the East.

Japan has many soldiers, Britain has not as many as she desires. Britain agrees that if certain possessions of Japan are attacked it will protect those, i Britain has fleets ample to do so. Please notice that neither party Is likely to be called upon to protect the possessions in question. If Japan were at war with Russia again and Russia knew that certain pars of Japanese territory could not be attacked without having to meet not only Japan but Britain also it is obvious that she would avoid creating another foe, and so if Britain were at war with Russia she would hesitate to encounter Japan also by attacking British terri- I tory guarded by Japan. The claim made by the British government for the treaty with Japan was that both nations were thus strengthened and that their armaments therefore need not be increased to meet a danger reduced.

One power supplements the other in times of danger. know better than I the troubles of the n'ght editor He receives news and must have eomethlng in the editorial columns in the morn- In. this I think must explain the following sent-nce In your editorial: "Yet here is Mr. Carnegie gravely suggesting that, for the sake of peace, this country shall go to war whenever Great Britain to war. and with whatever power she may engage in conflict." Not bo.

We should go to war only if certain Mil- of Britain were attacked which as before explained, would be most Improbable. One foe at a time is usually found quite enough to "STSU fact that Japan agrees to protect certain iHiaaiMlnrii If attacked doee not mean that Japan wouVhave to go to war whenever Britain was at war- on the contrary, the mere fact that Japanhad agreed to defend such posses-ions would keep these from attack. Suppose that Britain and America, the two English-speaking of the race, were to agree that the United States would protect the possessions of Great Britain on the North Atlantic, including the West Indies, and that Britain would defend the American coast on the Pacific and the Philippine? and Hawaii. In the case of one of those powers going to war. the guarantee of the other, as far as the territory Ftated is concerned, would preserve it from attack, and the nation knowing this would be relieved from anxiety to this extent.

Therefore. Instead of i two fleets one in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic we should require only the Atlantic fleet. If Britain went to war she could rest assured that what America had guaranteed to defend would give her no concern and she could therefore coni centrate her fleet. Barely this Is obvious. The Monroe Doctrine prevents foreign powers from settling upon the American continent, north and touts.

It docs not. however, prevent nations from attacking such territory. The proposed treaty would go one step further and agree to defend the territory of Britain adjoining or near the territory of the United States. This is all the responsibility that would be entailed. This Idea will not appeal to those, if there be such as assume that Britain's pledge to protect the Pacific and our two island settlements would not prevent a nation with which America was at war from adding Great Britain to America as its foe.

nor to those who think that the pledge ft America to defend British possessions adjacent 10 feat -would not deter Britain toe from challenging NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. MARCH 14. 1309. her. but It to the writer that can be whose Judgment would not be in the other direction.

guarantee of Britain would prevent the possessions puarar.teed from being attacked; the guarantee of America would have the effect. Hence, a very much less powerful navy would equal one perhaps one-third greater under present conditions. We should certainly need no navy on the Pacific. Mr. Editor, It is not only by what treaties contain that their salutary Influence can be measured.

The mere fact that the English Fpeaklr.R race was co-operating on the high seas would tend of Itself to maintain re. Vague talk of war between nations should always be carefully sifted. What nations can go to war at War between and Britain or between and America is so highly Improbable that thla may be dismissed as not within the range of probabilities. Russia Is a negligible quantity; aba has no navy. Italian and Austrian navies need cause no anxiety.

There remans but one othar nation in all Europe, which will have a ireal navy in due time. although not as soon as expected; but if Germany were at war with Britain, certainly would never attack any British poeeeaetona that would compel her also to eimultaneously with the American navy in addition, nor if she were at war with America would she think of torching American possessions in the Pacific which Britain had ruarant-ed attark. Bo that. Mr. Editor, if Britain and Axnarloa baxe such a treaty as Japan and Britain have.

improved, no douM. In come particulars, especially In requiring that an offer of arbitration should made to an adversary and before the other party was bound to aid. we might expect that even naval commanders would admit that we could Increasing our navy, and cause of peaceful arbitration as the only Christian meaaa of adjusting Internationa! disputes would be greatly advanced.

BANK BUYS FINE PLOT NASSAU STREET CORNER. Fourth National Pays $1 £00,000 for Land at Cedar Street. One of largest real estate deals affecting a Bite In the financial district reported in some years was perfected yesterday. Fourth National Bank, which owns and occupies the northeast corner of Pine and Nassau streets, bought from Life Insurance Company the similar adjofnlng building at the southeast comer of Cedar and Nassau streets, and the bank is now In control of entire block front on east Bide of Nassau street, from Pine to Cedar street. The deal was closed by William H.

Wheelock. vice-president of the Douglas Robinson. Charles S. Brown Company. The Germanla Life Insurance Company had been holding Its property at $1,500,000.

and. while the interested parties declined yesterday to discuss the subject, it is understood that the actual price paid was in the neighborhood of that figure. Measuring 73.1 feet on Nassau street and 78.2 feet on Cedar street, the Germanla Life plot has an area of about 4,900 square feet, so that on the basis of 51.500.000 the deal shows a square-foot price of about $307. Taking into account the size of plot, this Is believed to be highest figure yet paid in the financial district. It has been surpassed only by the price paid for the 1.200 square feet at the southeast corner of Broadway and Wall street and by that paid over thirty years ago for a small parcel at the southwest corner of Broad and Wall streets.

squarefoot price for the site at Wall street and Broadway was a little over $62 and for Wall and Broad streets plot S34S 67. The Fourth National Bank bought four or five years ago the five story building at No. 2 2 street, 23.3x71.10 feet, adjoining its property on east, so that it now controls frontages of 149.8 feet on Nassau street, 94.1 feet on Pine street and 73.2 feet on Cedar street. On this site the bank Intends to erect a modern office building, with adequate quarters for its own use on ground floor. In the matter of light the site possesses unusual advantages at present time.

To the south is the Sub-Treasury, no higher than the average three story building; across Nassau street are Equitable Life's holdings, a group of five and six story buildings to the east, on the Pine street side, is the banking house of Speyer three stories high, while on Cedar street is the seven story structure built by the Mutual Life Insurance Company for Harvey Ftak Son' Even Mutual Life Building, to the north, is only eleven stories high. Thus until th- Equitable gets ready to put up its sixty-two story structure, new Fourth National building will have good light from all directions, and even after that it will enjoy this advantage on three sides of Its new building. Just when Fourth National will go ahead with Its building operation has not yet Under an agreement, Germania Life Insurance Company will be allowed to occupy its present quarters for two years, but it Is not thought probable that it will insist upon exercising this privilege if the bank wishes to obtain possession In a shorter time. COACH PARADE IN MAY. Event Dropped Last Year To Be Renewed by Club This Spring.

Society and admirers of clever driving with a four-in-hand team will rejoice In the announcement that spring meet and parade of the Coaching Club will be held on the first or second Saturday in May. The decision was made at a regular meeting and dinner of the amateur whips last night In Knickerbocker Club, and the executive will fix the details. There was no parade last year on amount of many of the members being in mourning for relatives and in some there was an Idea that it had been given up. As It has been a social fixture n-arly every year ateoa 1575, rumor a regret that present news will dispel 1837 meet was at Fifth avenue, opposite the Metropolitan Club, and after the parade In Central Park there wm an Informal luncheon at the Claremont. programme that will probably be repeated this spring.

March Ex-Judge Alton B. Parker, speaking before the students of Princeton University here to-night, while Inclined to douht the Inclination of some of the Republican leaders to reduce- the tariff, paid a tribute to the slnceiity of President Taft Mr. Parker referred to the fact that the Republican platform promised a revision of the tariff, but not. In terms, a reduction of duties. "We must admit," he said, "that a revision of the tariff can be as well up as down.

So also must we admit that all the revisions so far made by the Republican paxty have been upward. Construing language in tri! light of the party's action heretofore, we find some explanation for the confidence of the protected interests. Then he added. But the President does not so construe this promise ro people. As he cannot dissemble hlmseif.

he 1b not willing to have his party dissemble. Hence he insists that good faith requires a reduction of dutes many if sot in all capes. Will his view prevail or will that of the protected interests? Let. us hope that of the President, though anxiety as to the issu- is fully justified. A panic might be precipitated by the protected interests.

Judge Parker declared, to prevent a gradual reduction of the tariff to a revenue basis. He said: The people have suffered and greatly by the loss of the money taken from them through tariff statutes to fill the coffers of the. protected Interests. Yet great as that lops is. it In no wise compares with the damage resulting to them In the decay or political morals, due to the successful efforts to utilize government for business purposes.

Tne steady lowering of political ideals which has occurred will diminish or cease when and only when business and politics are rended. To that end. the gradual reduction of the tariff to a revenue basis should be entered upon and persisted In to prevent such result, a panic will be threatened by the protected Interests and may be precipitated, but their elimination from governmental control will be of infinitely greater valu- to the people than the cost of one or even many panics. Ex-Judge Parker seemed to look with distrust on the proposition to have an Investigation by a commission of experts, saying: The protected Interests favor 111 legislation, the Investigation not to be made by a committee of Congress, but by a commission of experts. This course.

If adopted, will postpone action for perhaps a year, and give the protected interests abundant time to prepare Congress to repeat Arthur hoped th- to solve The members of the commission appointed by him were able men. all strong protectionists, one. Instead, however, of reporting in favor of Ing the duties, as the protected interests wished. they favored a reduction of from 20 to 25 per cent Confess repudiated them and their report, and passed instead a bill raising th- duties.

Do jroq know that wild animals and domestic animals seldom become deaf except when they become very old. and that even then is rare among them? It took me thirty years to satisfy myself what the real cause of deafness in man was. I am going to try to explain the matter to The above illustration aO the werlaei parts the ear AQ canal loading to the Mr ear drum, bones of the ear. The middle ear. Internal ear TE Eustachlan tube, leading from ear the throat.

Back of the ear drnm there Is a tube that loads down Into the upper part of the throat. This tube has an Important duty to perform. It conveys air Into the middle ear. by means of which the ear dram can rlbrate when sound waves strike It. At any period la your when you have a sore throat from any causa, whether It be from an ordinary cold, grippe.

tonsilitls, measles, diphtheria, or scarlet ferer. there is a great 'collection of germs In throat, and when you take a pocket handkerchief to free your nose yoa Invariably hold both nostrilp. When yon blow your nose t3 compressed In the upper and back part of the throat, and when the compressed air rushes up into the ear it carries alonz with it the that have set up Inflammation In your throat. These (Terms to work and Inflame the that leads to the ear and close It up. or else they Wipe in the middle ear.

where they set up Inflammation that shows Itself in ear noises, loss of hearing, earache, discharging ear and erea mastoiditls. The pocket handkerchief held firmly to nostrils while blowing the nose is really the cause of nine cases of deafness out of every ten. Deafness in children is caused by mothers holding: the handkerchief to the child's nose and telling" It to blow hard. If. when yon blow your nose, you would only hold one nostril at a time there would be little dancer of deafness.

preat cause of deafness Is he improper use of pocket handkerchiefs, for deafness almost always starts as trouble in the throat, which. 13 forced up in to the ear by blowinsr the nose. If there were no pocket handkerchiefs there would be little deafness. The lower animals do not and cannot hold their nostrils when they blow them. and luckily the animals cannot use pocket handkerchiefs; consequently they do not get deaf I have told yon the cause of deafness: I will now tell yon the remedy.

Stop blowing your nose hard" by closing both nostrils at once, then pet a BakerMlcrophone to do the work for your ear. thus resting: he Inflamed parts, as spectacles rest the eyes, and not only will your bearinz be Improved at once, but when the cause is removed and the inflamed ear is quieted you have an excellent chance to regain your lost hearing. WHY REMAIN DEAF? The majority of all those who are deaf can b3 made to again. The proper way to deal with falllne ears Is. first, to cease holdinz the nostrils tightly closed when blowing the r.ose.

The next step Is to free the system of those substances That make catarrh possible. The next step should consist of freeing the closed ear rnbfs of their obstruction. The next step must consist of a treatment of the ear drum itself that will It to lose Its thickened tissues that bare been muffling sound. In this way a large proportion of all deaf people may regain their hearing.
