Montgomery, January 11.-(Special.)-A general fight participated in by Frank P. Glass and Maj. w. w. Screws of the Ad- yertiser on the one side and Messrs w. w. Hill, Wiley Hill Dr. L. L. Hill and Dr. R. s. Hill on the other occurred in Perry street, near the office of the Advertiser, tonight at Il o'clock. The prominence of the participants caused much excitement, many people being on the streets at the time leaving the theatre. More or less all of the participants received bruises, but no serious injuries resulted
 The relations between the Hills and the Advertiser editors have been strained for some while and the immediate cause of the affray tonight was the publication by the Advertiser this morning of an editorial in reference to appearance for the defense in some criminal cases of w. w. Eill who is assistant county solicitor.
 Tonight Messrs. Glass and Screws left their office at 1 o'clock for their homes accompanied by the two young sons of MT.

SA[NC[RF[ST AUTHORITIES SAY
 THE FIGHT WILL BE PULLED OFf

Cincinnati, January 1.-The directors of the Saengerfest Athletic Association of Cincinnati express the fullest determine tion tonight that the Jeffric Ruhlin fight will be pulled off here on February 15 but the preponderance of public sentiment is to the contrary.
 While the ministers held an enthusiastic meeting today and the women's clubs and other organizations opposing the fight were unusually active, the contest is now be- tween Mayor Fleischmann and the Saen- gerfest Association. After repeated confer ences with their attorneys these two par ties finally met. Tonight the directors gave out the following:
 sThc Emembers of the Saengerfest Ath- letic Association requested of the Mayor t'.e immediate issuance of a permit. The Mayor. declined to issue the permit now, but reafirmed his promise and assured the committee that he would issue the permit two days before the date of the proposed cont st, The directors yet hold that the contest can and will take place in Cincii- natA on February 15."
 Since the Mayor has been legally advised that the fight for the championship of thk world does not come within the in teAtion of the Ohio statutes for sparrfng exhibitions under the auspices of a bona

KITCHENER HOLDS
 RAILROAD LINES
Meanwhile the Invasion of Cape Colony Looks Decidedly
 More Threatening

London, January 12, 4:5O a. mt is un- derstood that Lord Kitchener now holds securely all railroad lines in South Africa, having recovered possession of the Della goa Bay line which had been cut January 2. According to the Pretoria correspondent of the Daily Mail, Lord Kitchener is now organizing a force of 3c,0OO irregular horse, which will occupy some weeks When this force is ready he will resume offensive op- erations.
 Meanwhile the invasion of Cape Colony looks more threatening. The news that Commandant Hertzog has two guns is rather startling, as it was formerly assert ed that the invaders had no guns.
 The defenses of Capetown, including two AT naval guns, is now completed and the recruiting of volunteers is active through out the colony. According to dispatches to the Daily Express, the admiral of the Cape fleet is prepared in an emergency to land a naval brigade of 29O0 men with six Hotchkiss guns.
 A Murraysburg telegram says that the Dutch there received the British troops sullenly, and 1t reports that there are ru- mors that the colonial rebels of the neigh borhood are joining the invaders.
 The Pretoria correspondent of the Morn- ing Post wires that member Of the burgh- CT peace committee who was interviewed frankly confessed that there was no hope of many burghers surrendering.

fide athletic club 1t is intimated that the only kind of a permit would be one that came under the Ohio law and let the di- rectors take the chances in proceeding un- der that permit.
 In addition to the conferences today be- tween the counsel there was an informal meeting of members of the bar and an opinion was sent to Mayor Fleischmann signed by twelve leading attorneys in- cluding Judge Judson Harmon. This opin- ion holds that for the past twelve years the laws of Ohio have been very severe against prize fights, the only exception be- ing for sparring exhibitions under the aus- pdces of bona fde athletic clubs. Accord ing to thds the attorneys hold that a con- test for the championship of the world would not be held by any court to be sparring exhibition, and 1t further points out that the Saengerfest Athletic Club was incorporated after the articles of agIte- ment were signed by Jeffries and Ruhlin.
 Building inspectors made thorough in- spection of Saengerfest Hall today, ap- proving the plans and general safety of the building. E. G. Cook, who is repre- senting Brady here, Is proceeding with his arrantements. Ruhldn wiM be here to- morrow night
 In the contract of the Saengerfest Club with the contestants, which includes s5000 forfeit, the club is not held responsible if the fight Is prevented by the Governor or the Mayor, and there Is much gossip about seconds having their influence at this time.

SHOT THE GIRL
 WHOM HE LOVED Two Young Women Lie at Point of Death While ASsail-
 ant Fees

Galena, H., January 11.-Unrequited love was the cause of an attempted murder this evening, as result of which Amelia and Tillie Bergman, sisters, are at the point of death, and their assailant, George Duerr- stein is being traced with bloodhounds and a posse of thirty-five citizens headed by Sheriff Heinrich of Jo Davies County.
 Lying face down, apparently dead the sisters were discovered by their mother, who gave the alarm The shooting occur red at the gate of the Bergman residence in Dewey avenue and was witnessed by a friend of Duerrsten, who assisted in get ting him away. A vehicle was tied near the sceine of the attempted murder and it was dn this that tine parties escaped, closely fol- lowed by a force of laborers who heard the shots.
 At distance of but a few feet the in- sanely jealous suitor opened fire on the young women, saying to Miss Amelia as he shot: You will love me or die.'
 The girls, aged r and 20 years respective ly, are daughters of widowed mother whom they support, and the capture of their assailant may result in a lynching. Both are probably fatally injured, one be- ing shot in the head while the other is shot fin the abdomen.
 Duerrstein is a member of one of the Jo Davies County most prominent and wealthy families and had been educated for the ministry.

Washington, January 11.-(Special.) )-The decision of the House of Representatives in favor of a membership of 3S6 instead of one of s57 establishes a precedent, rath- CT confirms precedent, that will become more and more embarrassing the nation grows in population. The greatest effort that has been made in years was that Of the majority of the house committee on census not to increase the membership of the House, but the House by majority of 63 refused to call a halt on the growth of membership, and yet it increased the ratio of representation by about 20,000 When the census of 1910 is taken the population of the nation will have increased sufficiently to necessitate a House of at least 425 members if the demands of such States as Maine that have not kept pace with the remainder of the country in population in- crease are to be hearkened to. In other words, Maine has become the standard of House membership. The House must be of such size that Maine shall not lose one of it's four members. In 1920 the problem wdll be even more troublesome and the House will be composed of probably 475 members.
 AS IL Is II IS now very ulIlcult Wftn a membership of 357 to transact public busi- ness in an orderly fashion. With so many members on the floor and no committee or lounging rooms of adequate size for the members to retire to many members nec- essariy remain on the floor when they are not interested in the proceedings of the House, and with their talk and laughter cause a noise that seriously disturbs busi- ness. With twenty-nine more members the noise will be greater and increase as the House grows in size.

DAMAGE BY RAIN.
Railroad Schedules in Mississippi Have
 Been Badly Disarranged.

New Orleans, January 11.-From tele- graphic advices received tonight from var ious points in Louisiana and Mississippi considerable damage has been done by the incessant rains which have fallen for the past two days. Railroad schedules have been badly disarranged, The Gulf and Ship Island was forced to take off its two night trains from Jackson to Gulfport on account of wash-outs which made the track dangerous, and trains on all lines running into New Orleans were late to- night. In many sections the rainfall was extraordinarily heavy. Several points in Central Mississippi report a precipitation of between seven and eight inches for the preceding twentyfour hours up to o'clock this evening.

HOUSE ESTABLISHES
 A BAD PRECEDENT AS
 TO ITS MEMBERSHIP
BY ALBERT HALSTEAD.

It will be very difficult to place twenty nine more desks in the present hall of the House without making the aisles so mar row as to make it almost impossfo4e TOT two members to pass each other in them while the space back of the desks will be so contracted as to be mere passage way.
 It has been suggested that the desks be done away with and writing rooms be pro- vided, benches being substituted for the desks and chairs. This was Thomas B. Reeds idea when Speaker, and he favored reducing the size of the hall somewhat so as to improve its acoustic properties, but there is such a prejudice in favor of re- taining the desks that it seems impossible to overcome it. Ten years hence, either a
 larger hall will have to be provided or the benches be substituted.
 One argument in favor of continuing the policy of increasing the ouse is that as the ratio of representation grows each member Is more and more overwhelmed with letters from his constituents, his departmental duties are largely increased and he becomes more and more the messenger boy of his constituents, his time being so occupied with his correspondence and his visits to the departments that he has very little time for committee work and for the study of the legislation before Congress- That there is something to this is unquestona- ble, but it would seem as if 1t were more than balanced by the increased difficulty of transacting public business in an orderly fashion.
 An interesting point connected with the steady increase in the House membership Is the increasing importance of the Sena- tors. Their number can only be enlarged by the admission of new states, but the growth of the membership of the House so far exceeds that of the Senate by req son of the admission of new states that Senators are more powerful factors in pub lie business Thus with 3S6 members of the House and 90 members of the Senate a Sen ator equals 13-45ths members of the House, the ratio being 90 to 3S6.

GERMANY ARRAIGNED.
Bitter Debate in the Reichstag Over
 Pension Question.

Berlin, January 11.-Today's debate in the Reichstage upon resolution submit- ted by Herr Neissler, conservative, to amend the pension laws, so that every veteran of the wars of 1864, 1866 and lS70-1 who is an invalid and unable to support himself, would receive 120 marks annually, developed into a terrible arraignment of the government. Speakers of all parties, Conservatives, Nationalists, Liberals, Gen. trists and even socialists, declared their willingness to vote for adequate pensions and censured the government for consls- tenty ignoring this debt of honor, unwor- thy. as one speaker said, of a country which had embsrked oD a world policy
 Other speakers declared that the attitude of the Bundersrath in steadily refusing to provide pensions was inexplicable.

Shrewd Scheme for the Mur-
 derer to Escape
FRUSTRATED BY SHERIFF
Innocent Looking Express Package Dis closed a Second Plot of the Noto- rious Crook to Escape from
 the County Jail.

Frank Miller, the murderer, seems deter jail.
 He is q man who saws and says nothing.
 Yesterday. afternoon Sheriff Burgin in- , te,rcepted a padr of shoes, the soles of which contained a dozen saws which were intended for Miller. Had they reached him he woulc have been able to saw through his cell end any number of prison windows.
 About o'clock pair of ordinary-looking shoes were delivered by the Southern Ex- press Company to Sheriff Burgin. The shoes were wrapped in brown paper and tied to the parcel was a tag on which was written the following: From Covington, Ky. FoF George Gray, Birmingham, Ala, County Jail. Pd., 30 cents" On one corner of the tag was the lable of the Adams Express Company.
 George Gray is a young white man who was committed to jail on December "A from the Police Court on the charge of grand larceny. The officers do not think he had anything to do with the matter, his name being used by Miller without his knowledge.
 Had the sheriff not been on his guard the shoes might have been delivered to Gray ard thus have reached Miller. The sheriff, however, had information that such a package was expected at the jaii and the minute the shoes were unwrapped he SmeM a mouse.
