Judge Hears Argument for Injunction Against the JeesRuhn ConeSt-Saengerest Official Has Hard Job Explaining
 Fighters Careers and Marquis ofQueensbury Rules

Cincinnati February 5.-Arguments and testimony were heard today before Judge Hollister of the Common Pleas Court on an application for an injunction against the Jeffries- -Ruhlin prize fight in this city Feb ruary 15.
 There was first an attempt by the defense to dismiss all members of the Saengerfest board who are not members of the athletic association. There are eleven of the thir- ty-one included in this list. Attorney Gen. eral Sheets protested and asked for a tenn porary injunction against the eleven who have not filed an answer. The court de- cided that an injunction later could go out to these eleven. It was then decided that the case would proceed on it's merits for a permanent injunction rather than for a temporary restraining order, but the de- fense reserved the right of appeal to high CT courts. Judging from the slow progress made today and the long list of witnesses it is believed the hearing will not be com pleted this week and that the decision of Judge Hollister may not be had before next week. Only four witnesses were examined today, as follows:
 Hermann Witte, an attorney who was the middle man between the pugilists and the Saengerfest Athletic Association +. G. Cook, the personal representative of Manager William A. Brady; l. N. Miller, superintendent of the Western Union Tele- graph Company, and Fenton Lawson, who is a director and secretary of both the Saengerfest Musical Association and the Saengerfest Athletic Association.
 The feature of the day was the examina- ton of Fenton Lawson, as 1t indicated what the attorneys for the injunction pro- pose to do with all the members of the Saengerfest Athletic Association. They are all prominent business men and none of them are what are known as athletes al though they turned their musical associa- ton into an athletic association.
 MT. Lewson Closely Examined.
 MT Lawson was closely examined as to what he klew about music and sparring. He made al excellent witness in the for mer, but his answers to questions as to prize fighting created much laughter among the spectators
 He could not repeat any of the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry or any of the theory and practice of the ring. All of the other members of the Saengerfest Athletic Association were present and heard the or deal through which MT. Lawson passed, and it is understood that they all will be called upon to pass through a similar ex- animation. Lawson insisted that the Saengerfest Athletic Association intended to proceed within the bounds of the law, as their permit from Mayor Fleischmann was for boxing contest and not for a prize fight.

But that official could not be found. and Judge Magraw continued
 There is another charge against you, Mrs. Nation, charge of smashing joint" 'I plead guilty to that" said Mrs. Nation, eagerly. 'I rather think did smash it.
 Police Judge Has Troubles. Judge Magraw began to read the law touching offenders who create public dis turbance or cause a riot. Mrs. Nation in- terrupted the reading several times. "I was not violent, but peaceable," she exclaimed. You might as we'll read a novel to me as that stuff. It does not cover my case"
 The judge was indignant and Chief Stahl threatened to have the marshal put Mrs Nation out.
 That's what you wish he would do now, I'm sure, so I would keep quiet" answered Mrs. Nation. Chief Stahl finally informed Mrs. Nation that she would be deprived of her liberty until she had furnished bona which the judge would fix.
 Very wel," she said. T understand that"
 Judge Magraw had no desire to hold the prisoner and permitted her to go on her own recognizance to appear next Thursday for trial.
 Mrs Nation thanked him, shook hands and departed, a crowd of people following her.
 
 warrant sworn out in the City Court by Kelly & Lytle, who owned the Senate sa- Icon. She Is charged with malicious de- struction of property. Her bond was placed at $100 and she was released until Saturday, at which time her trial will take place. A. Hadley, physical director of the Y. M c. A., fought this afternoon about Mrs. Ma tion. A negro named Jackson was reading the bulletins in front of the newspaper office. He said he wished Mrs. Nation had been killed. Hadley resented the remark and the fight was soon in progress. The negro was large and heavy and Hadley Is Q small man. He was quick and wiry, how ever, and was punishing the negro badly when policeman arrested both for fighting Numerous fights took place over the same topic.
 Ms. Nation addressed her recruits and sympathizers at the Christian church to- night. The church was crowded to the doors and the saloon destroyer was given an ovation.
 John c. Nicholson, a lawyer from New ton, is here with bill with which he pro- poses to legalize the smashing.

The attorneys for the injunction ques- tioned him regarding all the fights that both Jeffries and Ruhlin had participated in, and then called special attention to the recent statement of Ruhlin that there would be new champion of the world on the morning of February 16.
 When asked whether the world champion ship could be settled or determined in a boxing contest that would come within the provisions of the Ohio statutes, the witness stated that he did not know anything about that line of work.
 MT. Lawson testified that when the ath- letic association succeeded the musical as- sociation the only assets to be turned over were the old hall and a large amount of music books and sheet music required for a chorus of 5000 voices and the orchestra during the international Saengerfest, al- most two years ago. The attorneys ques- tioned him very closely on the use that an athletic club would make of such a large invoice of musical merchandise, while they did not have a pair of dumbbells or Indian clubs or anything else for the development of muscles.
 Hard to Keep Order.
 The court was compelled to insist on the bailiff maintaining order repeatedly, and even threatened to clear the court room unless the crowd quit laughing at the questions and answers in the course of the examination that was intended to show that no legal connection could be made between musical culture and muscular cul- ture. The attorneys questioned him closely as to the rules of Marquis of Queensberry and he testified that he had never seen those rules, and he could not repeat any one of them. He was taken through long examination as to the dynasty of cham pions of the world. He could not tell how Jeffries came to be the champion by knock ing out Fitzsimmons, but he did remem- Der that Corgett won from Sullivan. In the articles of agreement for the fight here February 15, there is a. provision that if Maher whipped Ruhlin at Philadelphia then 6harkey was to fight Jef6ries here Lawson could not remember the result of the Phil adelphia contest, while the attorneys for the prosecution were attempting to show the records of both Jeffries and Ruhlin. The prosecution laid great stress on the old hard fight of Jeffries with Sharkey and later on the fight of aMaher and Ruhlin at Philadelphia, in order to show that both Jeffries and Ruhlin were men who had fought to finish and were therefore prize fighters.
 The promoters of the fight tonight in- sist that they are more confident than ever that the fight will be pulled off here. Jef- ries never let up on his training to attend the trial, and Ruhlin resumed his train ing in the afternoon.
 The sales of tickets today were unusually large and all preparations are going ahead as if there was no opposition.

United States Position.

Washington, February 5.-Onficials here are gratified at the correct understanding on the part of the British public and press of the absence of an American warship from the naval lines during the Queens fu- neral. The representation of the United States government during the ceremonies was carefully considered here, but there was no Unitea States vessel near enough to 6pithead to enable this country to send a ship. It is expected. however, that the navy will be fully represented at the coro- nation.

JEFFRIEs IN BAD SHAPE.

Jim Jeffries' knee. which he hurt nearly

baseball while training for his match
with Rubin, is in very bad shape.
Dr. Z. W. Walker. one of the leading
surgeons of this region, who was finally
engaged a couple OF days ago to treat
the injured knee, said that it would be
absurd for the big fellow to think of
training again much short of a year
from now. Not even then unless in the
meantime he took the best OF care of and
protected the knee from all unusual
strain or effort. Dr. Walker was en-
phatic in declaring that the knee was
IN very bad condition, but did not think
it would necessarily retire Jeffries per-
manently from the ring.
He said he had not yet decided
