CARRIERS CASE CARRIED UP.
MAKES AN APPEAL FOR HIS CON-
sTITITIONAL RIGHTS.

Petition for writ of CertiOrRri Pre-
sented to the supreme Court by
Lawyer Hose-It VIII Be Henrd ON
Mondny-CInim Made That Carter's
Constitutional Rights Have Been
VioIRted-Thc Former Captain lie
StuI Enjoying Luxuries.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The papers in the
case Of Capt. Carter were received at tho
Supreme Court to-day. The application
for a writ Of certiorar will have to be
made Monday.
The petition for a writ of ceriiorari 10
presented by Abraham ]. Rose. lie says:
THE gravity and importance of the de-
cision against the plaintiff in error below
is apparent when IL is considered that tha
views expressed if sound, would prevent
the inquiry upon habeas corpus as to
whether the prisoner had been twice pun
ished for the sa me oneuse. in direct con-
hict with the provisions of the constitution
and the decisions of this court.
Moreover, in all trials for offenses COM
mitted by persons in the military service,
no matter Of what number of omenses the
accused may be found guilty, if the con-
cmsions of the Circuit Court of Appeals
be correct general sentence may be i'm
posed without specifying for which offense
the punishment was inflicted, virtually de-
priving the accused from knowing for
which offense he was punished by fine,
or for which offense by imprisonment, or
for which offense the other punishment
was inflicted. The decision of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals invests court
martial with power to override cOnstitu-
tional provisions and takes from the
courts the right to inquire by habeas cor
pus whether constitutional rights have
been transcribed, thus putting person
sentenced by "A courtmartial beyond the
pale OF constitutional provisions and the
protection of the courts"
The action OF former Capt. Carters
friends is in accordance with the legal
programme frequently outlined in these
dispatches It has been contended from
the day that the decision of the court
martial was rendered against him that his
attorneys would carry the case to the SUI
preme Court by easy stages, with view
to delaying at long as possible the con-
fnement of the captain in the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth
While his lawyers are juggling with tho
federal courts former Capt. Carter is en-
ioying comparative luxury on Governors
Island in New York harbor. where his
friends ana associates Frequently visit him
and make his Incarceration as endurable
as possible under existing circumstances.

II Is Reported He VIII Resign Com
mittee Chnirmanship.

Atlanta Feb. There was good deal
of state political gossip around the Cap
itol to-day, induleed in by visitors and the
Capitol officers as we'll, discussing the an
nouncement Of the candidacy of Judge r.
b. Russell for Senator Bacon's seat
There was freely linked with It the talk
that lion. f. c. duBignon VIII also an
nounce for the same position after he has
called the State Executive Committee to-
gether, at which time it is supposed that
he will tender his resignation as chairman
of the state Executive Committee.
However much truth there may be in IT,
one thing is certain, there can be heard
talk ON an sides that there is a combna-
tion between the forces Of Senator Clay,
GOV. Gambler, Hon. Clark Howell and MI
duBiguon, dating back to over year ago
during the canvass of Gov Gambler. j.
was understood then, so all the talk now
goes that Gov. Gambler would be satisfied
with -four years Of the govenorship, that
Mr.. duBgnon was to he elected chair
man of the state Executive Committee and
later pitted against Senator Bacon when
his term expired while Hon. Clark How
ell was slated for the presidency Of the
Senate this year and for the governorship
two years hence, when Gov. Candler's Sec
ond tcrm expires,
It is also said that these gentlemen are
building up their fences in all parts of the
state and that they are doing all they can
GO keep down opposition to aVoWed duBig-
non men here and there, and bringing out
such in other places where there were for
merly only avowed Bacon candidates.
Some friends Of dul}iguon, while not
openly avowing his candidacy, neverthe-
less are very outspoken in the belief thar
Senator Bacon will have very stubborn
opposition for reelection.
On the other hand, the Bacon people
claim that he Is stronger now than he
was when he was elected 10 the Senate,
and that he Is able single-handed to beat
this alleged combination.

M'GOVERN DEFEATS SANTRY.
Proved His Title 10 the Feathers
weight Championship.

Proved His Title to the Feathers
weight Championship.
Chicago, Feb. TERRY McGovern If
Brooklyn, at Tattersalls tonight, proved
his right to the title of featherweight
championship OF the world by knocking
out Eddie Santry Of Chicago, who claim
ed the leadership Of the 122-pouuds class
by virtue OF a knockout of Ben Jordan Of
England.
rhe knockout came in the NTH round
after a fierce mix up in which Santry did
some clever work, but Terry was too
strong for the Chicago lad and straighten-
ing Santry up with short arm jolt to the
stomach. landed left and right TO the jaw
in quick succession and santry fell TO the
floor on his face.
Santry trled TO fight at long range. but
Terry would rush in headlong and took
many a lefthanded jab on the nose in his
anxiety to lana a knockout.
In the third santry made an even break
Of it, doing some good jabbing, and Terry
was unable to get in close enough to use
the short arm jots that have made him
famous. Santry tried to keep away in
the nth round, but Terry slowed him
down with a DTtdln-thklnb ploW an tnc
stomach.
Santry, seeing he could not escape from
McGovern. made a stand in the middle
Of the ring. Both were swinging wildly.
when suddenly Terry uppercut Santry on
the jaw. Santrys guard dropped for the
smallest fraction of a second and McGov-
ern whipped the left over to the jaw. He
followed the blow up with right swing
and caught Santry on the ear as he was
falling Santry fell 70 the floor on his
face and rolled over. Al the count OF
nine he got to his knees and tried to
straighten up, but was unable to stand,
and the referee gave lhe fight to McGov-
ern.
Santry was unable TO leave the ring for
fully ten minutes after being counted out.
McGovern did not have a mark on him
as he left the ring. The betting before
the fight was 2 10 that Santry would be
knocked out before the end of the sixth
round.
