w. H.. watkin. Here Again.

w. H. Watkins. who Is suspected OF being
connected with all sorts Of baseball deals
at this time, is at the Grand Hotel. when
he is not in consultation with John T.. Brush
during his stay in this city. He arrived
yesterday afternoon and made himself hard
to find at once. When cornered he talked
as readily as ever, but. when he had fin
ished. he had told as little as possible Of
the things the baseball fans desire to know.
He was noncommittal on all baseball deals
which are regarded as probable and smiled
when asked If he would have any connec-
ton with a National or American League
team next season.
Mr.. Watkins has learned discretion from
contact with Mr.. Brush, and some time ago
the latter, in refusing to give out the de-
tails of a deal supposed to be on hand, ad-
adding, however. that mo one will find out
much from him."

FORWARD OR BACKWARDS.
h Way nm Engine Was Running Is
the Chief

There promises to be a wide difference in
the character of testimony in the suit of
Jerome B. Coffman against the Big Fou
Railroad Company, which went to trial in
the Circuit Court yesterday. Coffman was
driving an oil wagon across the Big Four
track at Fletcher avenue when an engine
struck him.. He was seriously injured, he
claims. and brought an action for $40. 900
damages. The chief contention in the case
is whether the locomotive was running for
ward or backward. 1t was about 6 o'clock
in the evening in December when Coffman
was struck. He claims the engine was
backing" and that no light was displayed
on the tender. The railroad company ayers
that the locomotive was coming forward
and that a bright headlight was displayed.
1t is on this point that the result of the
case will chiefly depend.

DEFENDING A POOR PERSON.
The Appellate Court Renders a De-
cision Concerning the Fees.

The Appellate Court yesterday decided
that where a change Of venue is taken by a
poor person from one county to another
and where attorneys have to be appointed
at the public's expense to defend the poor
person, the county to which the change OF
venue is taken cannot fix the attorneys
fees for defending him. The decision was
given in the case of Hamilton county
against Upton county to recover fees paid
by Hamilton county for attorneys appointed
to defend Charles Stevenson, accused Of
murder. in Upton county and tried in Ham,
ilton county on a hange of venue. The
Hamilton county judge allowed Stevenson's
attorneys $3.50 for their service, but Upton
county refused to pay more than 1915.
although Hamilton county had already paid
the money to the attorneys.

Want the Law Amended.

Important amendments to the Interstate
commerce law were approved at a confer
ence in Chicago yesterday of representatives
of over thirty industrial and manufacturing
associations. merchants and shippers. The
proposed amendments were prepared by
Frank Barry, of Milwaukee, secretary of
the Millers' National Association. Arrange
n ents have been made to have Senator Gull
lom introduce the bill in the Senate at the
coming session, and a determined effort Will
be made to have II placed on the statute
books. The bill demands a uniform CLASH
fication of rates and calls for an important
extension of the powers OF the Interstate
&C mmerc Commission to prevent all kinds
of discrimination In favor OF manufactured
products as against the raw material. 1t
also does away with the system of impris-
Of ment under the present law 10 one or

individual responsible and liable TO proSecu-
ton. Among these present at the confer
ence, which was called for the purpose of
indorsing the measure, were +. b. Thurber:
chairman of the Oil railroad
transportation of the National Board of
Trade. II. G Yeiser. of Cincinnati. and G.
b. Cole, of the Millers' Association.
The new organization will be one of the
largest in the United States in point OF cap
