day gave 4 hearing on the petition OF
the National Board OF Trade for legis-
lation requiring the Interstate COM
merce commission to publish a uniform
classification OF freight rates. The ad-

another in many respects to cause much
confusion to shippers. They asked Tor

the necessity for this change was uni

death OF Senator VOORHEES, OF Indiana,
and OF GIL. Shanklin, OF Indiana, who

Something OF q breeze wos caused by
the Introduction OF a resolution outhor-
izlng che committee on coast detenses
TO visit places requiring coast defenses,
send for persons and papers, etc Mr..
CoclSreli. (Degn.. Mo.), thought the res
olution was very broad, allowing the
committee to take a tour around the
oourstry. Sir. Squire. chairman OF the
committee. said the only visit contem-
plated was 70 Sandy Hook. He con-
serted to modification OF the resolu-
ton that the committee trip be limi-.
ed to the detenses OF New York city
and II was adopted in this form.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Feb. Elm an
tSclpation OF the arraignment to-day OF
Scott jackson and Aionzo wolling for
the murder o: Pearl Bryan,Iarge crowds
gathered about the city hall and the
jail early In the morning. While the
authorEics considered these assem-
blages due 70 Sensational curiosity
rather than 10 any conspiracy for
lynching, yet they took the precautlon
70 evode both crowds.
II was accordingly decided 10 get the
prisoners clandestinely into the CON-
mon pleas court before Judge Book
walter at Q o'clock and complete the
legal arrangements for the transfer OF
the prisoners 10 Sheriff Plummer, OF
Newport, KY. II WAS evident, how
ever, with the crowds hanging around
that E1e prisoners could not be quietly
transferred across the river to-day and
all plans were abandoned.
At II q. m. X was announced that the
Arrangement and hearing on the re-
quisjtIon papers had been continued to
q date that the court would not dIvulge
now or hereafter to anyone. Counsel
for both sides as well as the court and
the officers are anxious to avoid the
crowds, and Il Is believed that they
have agreed TO have the case taken up
at any time when there Is no crowd
or prospect OF disturbance. There were
people also around both the Newport
and the Coylngton jalls waiting 10 see
the prisoners who have become motor

character OF the murder charged
against them.
The excitement attending the propo-
81 Ius ~ Il d
son aul Alonzo wallIng TO KerSuclCy
on the charge OF numbering Pearl BTy-
an, JanueTy 81. gave rise TO various
sensational rumOrs The most startling
one was that the head OF the murder
ed Eiri had been found in 4 dump on
Walnut Hills. The head OF woman
was found there at p. m. to-day. II
was carefully examined and the skull
and teeth were reported TO bear a re-
semblance to the head OF Pearl Bryan.
The most reliable Information tonight
is that the head Is not that OF the VIC
tim OF the Fort Thomas tragedy but
that some students from the Medlcal
college took the head OF woman from
the dlssectlpg room and worked russ
on the officers. There are no crowds
around the fail tonight and the crowds
nov seem satisfied that the prisoners
Will not be transferred when there is
nny assenl5Iage in sight. The transfer
will be made after bearing on SatuT-
day when none but the sherlfs and
attending officers know Of It, The pris-
oners Will not be taken TO Newport, KY,
