LAWYERS in A FIGHT.

this afternoon between Attorneys Dan
Simms, representing Fred Chase, faith
err OF Moses Fowler Chase, and A. L.
Kumler, representing Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Duhme of Cincinnati, who are
fighting for the possession of young
Chase, the millionaire. The attorneys
had met for a conference with the
nudge as to what should be done with
Moses Fowler Chase, pending the
clearing of the guardian case. Kumler
denounced the attorneys on the other
side and also Chase's father. and de-
clared that Moses Fowler Chase had
been brought to Indiana from France
by force and fraud.
He further asserted that the unfortu-
nate young man was put on exhibition

Attorney Simms jumped up from his
seat and approached kumler. who tried
to ward him off. Simms then landed
u fierce right hand swing on kumler' s
jaw, and followed 1t with a smash with
his left. Both blows landed, kumler
protecting himself as best he could.
The court room was crowded, and
lawyers, court officials and spectators
sprang toward the combatants and
dragged them apart. The judge fined
Simms $25 for striking the first blow,
and this quieted matters.
Simms then apologized, and Kumler
asked the court to remit the fine. as
he said he felt sure that Simms struck
in a moment OF temper. The court
remitted the fine and directed that
Moses Fowler Chase remain in this
courts jurisdiction with the under
standing that Mr.. and Mrs. Duhme, who
are his aunt and uncle, are not to inter
fere with him. They have the privilege
Of applying to the court for authority
to see him.

"A big detective, William Weinhart, was

1t is not generally known bir = rue
that Gov. Cummins has IN
regard to railroad mergers da back
to time long prior to the I 9 ne be
came an active candidate for I vernon
of Iowa. Mr. Cummins, in his extern
sive law practice, had as clients some
OF the men who are today most con-
spicuous in the merger movements and
in the creating of great monopolstic
trusts. Among others who discussed
with him long ago this very question
OF consultations is none other than
J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates.
and this question of the advisabllity
of consolidation was talked over frank
ly. AT that time. when Mr.. Cummins
was just a plain lawyer. he declared
that the consolidation Of railroad lines
was not only contrary to public
policy. but fraught with danger
to the owners of railroads. He pointed
out that in case the owners of rail-
roads should succeed in getting them
practically all under one management
and should thereby eliminate compe-
tition and create a private monopoly
the demand for government ownership
would be we'll nigh irresistible. He
did not want the railroad magnates to
embark on such an enterprise for ne
feared the result of an attempt on the
part of the United States to attempt
to buy the railroads and felt that II
government ownership should become
possible 1t would be calamity. Mr.
Cummins in his speech in Minneapolis
last year pointed out that the tendency
of the trust movement to monopolies
is bid for socialism. He declared that
the only monopoly that is tolerable is
one owned by The government, ana 1t s
this that should he prevented ii pos
sible. For expressing such views he
has been sharply criticised, but the
decision in the merger case has only
confirmed him, if that was necessary
in his former views.

WON eY OUTSIDERS.
Nebraskan Amateur and Boy from
Michiaan First in Grand Handicap.

Ncbraskan Amateur and Boy from
Michigan First in Grand Handicap.
Kansas City, April 17.-Trap shoot
ers of national reputation We're at
discount here yesterday when the grand
American handicap at inanimate tar
gets was won by a Nebraskan who was
practically an outsider NJ. Diefen-
derfer, of Wood River Neb broke
ninety-four targets out of a possible
hundred and carried Off the shotgun
classic.
The winner shot from the sixteen
yards line, seven yards in front of the
scratch men. He has been breaking the
targets for about four years, but had
never before entered the grand Ameri-
can handicap.) Diefende:fer was the
one hundred and thirty fifth man to
shoot, and, contrary to the general rule,
he did his best work last, breaking
twenty five targets at the last set OF
traps without miss.
1t was a 19-yeal -old boy who took
second prize-Max E. He:isler, of Battle
Greek, Mich. He shot from the seven
teen yards line and scored ninety
three. The youngster broke twenty
four at each of his first three traps, but
at the fourth they came very badly and
he let four get away. Besides getting
second in the handicap, Hensler won
the trophy in the preliminary handicap,
defeating d. d. Timberlake, of Seneca,
kas., in the shoot-off of their tie in that
event.
Forty three men will divide the purse
lin the grand American handicap. all of
whom made a score of eighty-tive or
better. Irby Bennett, president of the
Interstate Association, on behalf of the
association, presented Diefenderfer
with IA handsome gold watch, the tro-
ply of victory. Hensler was given a
diamond watch charm for winning the
preliminary handicap.
