Attempted Suicide.

Soaked in blood which flowed from
several Jagged wounds in his throat,
Hans Olson of St. Paul was found by
a small newsboy, lying unconscious
behind one of the large billboards on
Wabasha street, just across from the
new capitol.
In determined effort to end his life,
the man had gashed his throat in three
or four places with a piece of broken
glass which he had picked up on the
street.
Some of the smaller arteries had been
severed, the jugular vein laid bare,
and the flow of blood from the wounds
was so profuse that Olson must have
died in very short time had he not
been given prompt attention.

Memphis. March 17.-With the
opening of the spring meeting at
Montgomery Park only two weeks
away, the interest in the various
events of more than ordinary impor-
lance that are soon to be decided is
becoming acute. Large crowds are
daily on hand in the early morning to
watch the workouts, and as the track
at the present time is very fast and in
splendid condition, a number of sem
sational miles have been reported. Ac-
tive preparation has been begun by all
the trainers who have candidates in
the stakes. and no time is being lost.
Probably the most sensational work
of the past week among the candidates
for the MONTGOMERY handicap was
made by Imp. MCGEE, who is scheduled
to carry the green and white sash of
Ed Corrigan in the big stake. The
horse is reported to have covered a
mile with a boy weighing about ia
pounds up in the good time of 1:4S.
MCGEE finished strong and full of run

BY r. M. Larner.

Washington, March 17.-One of the
ladies of the Supreme Court circle is
responsible for the first authentic init
merger case was to be handed down
last Monday.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
judges to prevent a premature dis
closure of the findings of the court or
when the decree was likely to be rem
dered, the secret finally leaked out
through a casual remark explaining
why so many members of the judges
families were at the Capitol on Mon
day.
AS a general thing the ladies of the
Supreme Court circle are seldom seen
in the court room except on rare oc-
casions such as the installation of a
new justice, the delivery of eulogies
upon a deceased one, or the rendering
of decision on some great national
question such as was involved in the
merger case.
1t was observed Monday that the
wives and relatives of the members of
the court assembled early in the court
room and occupied the seats reserved
exclusively for the families of the
judges, to the extreme left of the chief
justice.
Lady Gave Hint.
AS a group of these ladies passed
through the Capitol corridors on their
way to the court room they encoun-
tered an old friend who expressed his
surprise at this unusual feminine
gathering.
oh" explained one of the young
ladies, 1--WE are anticipating a remark
ably interesting decision to-day, and
we wouldn't miss it for worlds"
An alert newspaper correspondent,
who happened to be passing at the
time overheard the remark and leaped
to the conclusion that the long-looked-
for decision in the Northern Securi-
ties case was to be rendered.

Mr.. Williams warned his hearers to
continue to prosecute and attack com
binations, which restrain trade, and
sti1e competition.
Told Tavney to "Get OUT
Mr.. Tawney (Republican) of Min
nesota stirred up a hornets nest, when
he inquired of Mr.. Williams if he
could state how the Democrats in the
Fffty-first Congress voted when the
Sherman antitrust law was UP for
consideration. He declared that every
Democrat voted against it.
The House at once was in an up
roar. Mr.. Gaines (Democrat) of Ten
nessee, gesticulating wildly, asserted
that every one voted for the bill when
it passed the House. and that it pass
ed the House and Senate unanimously.
His remark was met by laughter and
jeers from the Republican side. He
stated that the first bill had been
introduced by Senator Teller and be-
gan to give a history of the legislation,
when he was interrupted by Mr.. Taw-
ney, who said that when Mr.. Mckinley
presented the rule for the conSidera-
ton of the antitrust law, the Demo-
Gratis opposed it.
"Ah. get QUIT" shouted Mr.. Gaines,
amid confusion.
An inquiry from Mr.. Grosvenor as
to what had become of the postoffice
appropriation bill partially restored
good humor. Mr.. Williams. getting
the floor again. said it was not true
the Democrats opposed any legisla-
ton calculated to down trusts or COM
bines.
Jobs for FavOrites.
Throughout the day the postoffice ap-
preparation bill was under discussion,
and little progress was made. The mi
nority leader, Mr.. Williams, declared
the Postoffice Department was rotten
from turret to foundation stones, and
the Republicans were trying to reor-
ganize it in an appropriation bill.
Mr.. Williams made a point of order,
which was sustained, against the pro-
vision in the bill designating certain
postal employees as "cashiers," might
superintendents," etc. He said that it
was simply a means of putting favor
ties into places at salaries higher than
they already received.
Mr.. Maddox of Georgia requested of
Mr.. Overstreet, chairman of the Post
Office Committee, an explanation of an
item of $4,000 for advertising, saying:
LAS it has been said, there are a lot
of rascals in the department, we prob
ably will be a little more particular
hereafter
Mr.. Overstreet said it was for adver-
Using for bids, and the provision was
adopted. Messrs. Maddox, Williams
and others questioned various other
items in the bill, and the latter got
into a sharp controversy with Mr..
Payne, the Republican leader, over Mr..
Williams assertion that the Postoffice
Department was rotten from turret to
foundation, which Mr.. Payne charac-
terized as extravagant language. Mr..
Williams insisted that Mr.. Bristow had
practically admitted other divisions
needed investigation.
The House adjourned until to-mor-
row.

GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN
HERRERA AND YANGER
Chicago Sports Saw Best Bout in
Years Between the Two,

Years between the Two.
The fight between Benny Yanger and
Aurelia Herrera in Chicago Wednes-
day night is heralded from the Windy
City as the best thing that has ever
been seen in the squared circle there.
1t was slashing fight from the in
slant the gong sounded until the 'end
was reached. Both men were in excel
lent fighting trim, and their work was
of the quality calculated to make the
crowd howl with delight.
Herrera, swarthy as a bronze statue,
his face drawn and the word resolu-
ton stamped upon his countenance,
made pleasing impression upon the
fight fans by the cleverness he dis
played, his clean-cut punches, his rush
ing tactics and his avidity to rush in
where angels feared to tread combined
to place him among the front rank of
fighters in his class. Herrera knocked
Yanger down in the third. but Yanger
upon getting up promptly knocked him
to the floor.
Yanger was at his best, and his
pummeling of Herrera's body was ter
rife. Yanger was evidently aware that
he had a big contract on his hands,
and in the opening round he spared
with caution, and succeeded in evad-
ing Herrera's bull-lil<e rushes, not al
ways, however, without damage to
himself.
Both men were as like as two peas
in appearance. In the fifth round Her.
rera had the better of the game. YAM
ger suffered with his nose by reason
of Herrera's left frequently getting

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

To BE Played Between Savannah
and Charleston Y. NJ. C. AS.
Lovers of clean athletic sport will
have the opportunity tonight to see
what will. without doubt, be one of
the fastest, and one of the most hot
ly-contested games of basketball that
have ever been played in Savannah.
The team of the Charleston Y. NJ
C. A. will be matched against a team
of the local association. Each asso-
citation will have out it's best players
and as each has defeated every other
team against which it has played, it
can be seen that the struggle will be
one Iof champions.
These teams have played against each
other for several seasons and honors
are almost. If not quite even. 1t is
possible that Charleston has one match
to her credit. but after tonight hon
ors will again be easy, if the conf
dence of the local players. and the
hard practice they have put in since
anything.
Since the beginning of the present
season Director Graham as adopted
new plan in arranging matches and
one that keeps the men in good shape
all the time. 1t is to have four teams
take part in the weekly games, two
against two, really two independent
games. By this plan nearly all the
players of the association have the OPP
portunity of playing against each
other every week. It's advantages are
manifested in the number of really
fast and clever men that have been
developed.
The lineup for tonight will be:
Charleston. Savannah.

LADY GAVE THE TIP ON HANDING
DOWN OF SECURITIES DECISION
One of Supreme Court Circle UnconsciousIy Put
Newspaper Man Next

A hurried glance into the Supreme
Court room half an hour before the
assembling of the court showed full
attendance of the judges families, in
addition to the presence of Attorney
General Knox and his corps of as
sistants from the Department of JUS
tice.
To those familiar with the proceed
ings of the court all the circum-
stances pointed to the fact that the
decision was due. Hurrying to the
nearest telegraph station, a bulletin
was sent to New York with the first
definite announcement that the deci-
sion would be delivered that day, thus
anticipating, by nearly half an hour,
the actual occurrence.
1t will probably surprise the lady
who made the remark in the corridor
when she learns that she furnished
the clue to the fact that the decision
was coming.
Supreme Courts ExcIusiveness.
The exclusivness of the Supreme
Court circle is unequalled in this or
any other country. Members of that
bench enjoy an independence greater
than that of the President. There are
answefable to no constituency for
their decisions or action and they
observe a code of etiquttte that is
eorum of official or diplomatic society.
The precedence given to the Chief
Justice and the members of the court,
according to their terms of service on
the bench, is as closely observed at all
state and social functions as it is in the
court room At a state reception or a
public gathering to which the court
is invited officially, junior member
of the court would never dare precede
one of his seniors in entering a room
or taking a seat.
A similar rule is observed by the
ladies of the Supreme Court circle.
There is never any social dispute or
friction among them, such as COIL
stantly occurs in the Cabinet and the
Diplomatic circles.
1t is the ambition of the wives Of
the Justices to uphold and sustain the
reputation of the court for being the
most dignified as well as the highest
judicial tribunal in the world.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-03-18

was expressed as to whether Corrigan
would start MCGEE in the handicap,
and the belief was general that he
would rely on either Hargis or Havi-
land. while MCGEE would be used in
the Inaugural The owner has not as
yet given any intimation of his inten-
tions in the matter.
Early, the handsome chestnut horse
from the stable of NJ. II. Tichenor e.
Co, is being given a thorough prepar-
alton for the big race. Several days ago
he was out on the track during the
early morning hours, and his work was
closely observed by Tichenor, who ex-
pressed the greatest satisfaction over
his appearance. Early was sent a
mile in 1:481a, and covered the distance
in splendid style.
Among the other candidates for the
handicap that are being given hard
work in preparation for the race and
whose owners assert that they will
more than likely be starters, are Capt.
S. S. Browns Proceeds and Conjurer;
G. c. Bennett & Co.'S Dan McKenna;
