They are holding informal conferences in sec tions during the forenoon and expect to hold a joint conference after business hours late this afternoon. It Is not a question of settling up after the perform ance with them so much as after the in- junction.

NEGRO LAWYERS OBJECT ID JURORS Created Sensation by Arguing That White Men Would
 Not Be Fair

Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 15.-Evans Simms, colored, was convicted yesterday in the Criminal Court of shooting with intent to kill Police Officer Credille and Captain Daw of the police department.
 Quite a sensation was created just pre- vious to the trial by the attorneys for the defense, three colored attorneys, mov- ing to quash the regular venire on the grounds that the sheriff had discrimin- ated against negroes in summoning jury men, thereby displaying malice against their client. Their principal contention was that their client could not be given a fair trial with jury composed of white men.
 Sims, it will be remembered. is a negro who barricaded himself in his house and exchanged some 200 shots with a large number of policemen and sheriffs depu- ties. He only surrendered after his house had been shot to splinters and his ammu- hilton had been exhausted
 The motion to quash the venire of whites was argued for some two hours, and the court stated that if the attorneys for defense could prove that malice had been shown toward the prisoner the venire would be quashed. This was not the negro in ten minutes. He has not yet been sentenced.
 This is the second attempt on the part of negro lawyers to have blacks placed on the qualified jury list, each time being unsuccessful

Cincinnati February 15.-The majesty of the law is certainly forcibly seen in Cincinnati today. A ten-round bout be- tween Childs and Martin for the coored championship of the world, and twen- ty-round bout between Jeffries and Ruh- lin for the heavyweight championship Of the world, had been scheduled for Saen- gerfest Hall tonight. That huge hall stands alone on the commons adjoining the Geological Gardens No doors are open. No one is at the box office or else- where about the great structure.
 The Saengerfest board, which lost 5000 originally in the structure, has recently expended about $5000 more in remodelling the hall for the proposed boxing contests. They put in twenty large stoves and many arc lights. In the remodelling, pro- vision was made for over two thousand people in private boxes. These, with the additional seating capacity for over 5,OO0 others, are likely to remain empty until the wrecking company removes them elsewhere.
 The regulation ring remains in the pit of the great amphitheatre also asa me- mento of previous announcements and present failure. The telegraph corrfJ anies had strung dozens of wires to thr build ing. but they will have nothing n flash through the desert air of that locality.

OF DOLLARS LOST
 BY FAILING TO HAVE THE FIGHT

the hall and thousands of dollars of other expenses they now have a forfeit of S25oo each with the contestants to adjust. They are also considering the propriety of carrying the injunction cas etc the Cir cult and Supreme Courts. They have six leading law firms engaged on their side and have already expended large sums of money for counsel in the litigation, and the question of additional expense In this line Is entering largely into the ques- ton of carrying the case to the higher courts
 The Saengerfest Athletic Association is not the only loser. Manager Brady can colled profitable dates for many weeks for Jeffries and his company so that he could go into training and has been at a great expense in maintaining his training quar- 900. Manager Madden has had a similar experience in taking Ruhlin off of the road and supporting the large force at his training quarters and he estimates his losses at more than half of that of Brady. All of the parties who have been interested in the proposed contest that will not take place at Saengerfest Hall tonight are now talking about their losses They say they do not want any more such 'sure things" where those in authority are not expected to interfere. All efforts today are devoted to plans for getting out of the "unpleastness." and those involved in the existing difficulties expect to reach some definite conclusion tonight

Columbus. O., February 15.--Attorney- General Sheets said today that when Judge Tollister announced that the pro- posed fight at Cincinnati would be en- joined. William A. Brady, the manager of Jeffries, said: This ends my manaf, ment of such enterprises. I believe the opposition to contests of this kind Is all fanaticsm, but the fact is that popular sentiment is overwhelmingly against it and there is but one thing to do--that is. to quit The contests have been driven from State to State. the limits in which they could be given gradually narrowing until there has long since ceased to be any money in it. Certainly ther is no money in the management of them anyhow. I am not going to follow it any further have number of other things to manage that pay me fully as well. and I cannot afford to give so much time and effort to prepare pugflist for con- test and then have it prevented. rhis settles 1t with me-"

SHIPPING BILL
 HAS HARD TIME
Senate Steering Committee De- cides to Displac9 It With
 0Ieomargarine Bill

Washington, February 15.-As a result of the deliberations of the steering com- mittee today the oleomargarine bill prob ably will be called up in the Senate to- morrow, to the temporary displacement of the ship subsidy bil but It is net ex- pected there will be any effort to keep the bill before the Senate beyond tomor- row if 1t fails to be acted upon then. There is every reason to believe it will fail. Indeed, there is a quite general un- derstanding that after tomorrow there will be very little consideration given to any measures except appropriation bills and conference reports. The rivers and harbors bill, it is now understood, will be reported next week. All the appro- priation bills to come carry large appro- proiations and some of them more of less general legislation. There is con- siderable pressure on the friends of the subsidy bill to withdraw it, but so far they have declined to yield, taking the position that it was more desirable 10 have the bill defeated by Democratic an- tagonism than to have 1t voluntarily withdrawn.

 Although there have been no official communications or the subject between the envoys and the Chinese plenipoten tiariees, there have been long official con- sultations between the latter and M.De Giers and Sir Earnest Satow, the Rus sian and British ministers.

Senate Passes the Agricultural Bill After Warm Passage of Words Between Beveridge and Til-

Washington, February 15. - That the opposition to the shipping bill will not permit vote to be taken on the measure at the present session was made clear sion. At the conclusion of several hours consideration of the bill MT. Teller Of Colorado announced his purpose to pre- vent a vote at this session. In an im- passioned speech he declared that he would not consent to any agreement to vote, and that it must be evident to the advocates of the bill that no vote could be had The statement of the Colorado Senator elicited a sharp response from MT. Aldrich of Rhode Island, who insist ed that despite the declaration of MT. Teller the business of the Senate would proceed in accordance with the wishes of the majority. MT. Teller's statement also drew the fire of MT. Chandler of New Hampshire, who asserted that the position of the opposition was preposter- ous. Mir Hanna of Ohio replied to MT Teller in a forceful speech, in the cour'
 of which he became impassioned in ' denunciation of the methods emplos
 by the opposition to defeat the meas are. The advocates of the bill, he said, N r4 honestly endeavoring to advance tn best interests of the country, and he reseu1 d the insinuations against their hon -# 1H purpose.

MORGAN WANTS
 AN EXTRA SESSION Thinks President Would Be Wise to Call Nica-
 ragua Canal

Age-Herald Bureau, 5O9 Fourteenth St., N w., Washington, February 15.-(Spe- cial.)-Senator Morgan thinks the Pres dent would be wise to summon Congress in extra session, because there is work for 1t to do.
 The Senator says he still believes that the Nicaraguan canal bill will pass this ession. The fact that Great Britain has given no indication of her intentions re- garding the Hay -Pauncefote treaty which must fail if not ratified before the end of the present session, seems to indicate the British purpose not to proceed further with this instrument. If this intention be learned definitely before adjournment there seems to be little doubt that the Nicaraguan canal bill would be passed.

GAR PLUNGED DOWN THE EMbANKMENT Thirty Passengers Fell Fifty Feet and Only One Es-
 caped Injury.

Cincinnati. February 15.-Thirty pas sengers in street car coming to Cincin- natl from Dayton, Ky, were carried down a. fifty-foot embankment into the he'd of a small stream on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River between g and 10 o'clock this morning and only one of the number escaped injury.
 At the same time not one of the num- Der was instantly killed
 How many may die cannot yet be told.
 The accident took place at point on the street where the car was coming down grade. Some sort of obstruction seemed to suddenly divert the car. It turned to the right, crossed the sidewalk with such momentum as to tear down a fence, cut off the top of a small tree and drop fifty feet down into the bed of the little stream.
 As before stated no one was killed out right, but the brave motorman, Samuel Yates, who had stayed at his post in a vain effort to check the speed of the car was taken to Spears hospital, where his injuries were sad to be fatal.
 Among the others seriously injured are w H. Mccormick, Bellevue; Miss Edna Contans, Bellevue; may die; William spencer, Dayton, seriously injured; A. H. Wagner, Bellevue, severely injured; Miss Ella Huxwell, Westwood, O., seriously injured The greater number received slight wounds and bruises.
 Miss Emma Hampton was the only one who escaped entirely and she swooned when taken from the wreck.
