ARGUMENT IN SCOTT CASE
This Will Conclude the Criminal 5usi-
ness For This Term-other Gases
Which Arc to be Disposed Of at This
Term Of Court.

Arguments were made to the jury ia
the case of Charles Scott, colOred,
charged with assault with intent TO

eral Sessions. The case was placed on
trial last Saturday Scott was repre-
scented by Horace G. Eastburn and Syl-

The above case concludes all criminal
business for the term. On account Of
a number Of witnesses having gone to
the Baltimore fire. the case OF the Min
eralized Rubber Company VS. Phoenix

for trial today. could not be tried. G.
l.. Ward and j. Harvey Whiteman
represented the plaintiff and William
S. Hilles the defendant.
Mr.. Hilles asked the court TO con-
tinue the case and explained that a
number Of his witnesses had been call-
ed TO Baltimore on account of the big
fire.
Mr.. Whiteman asked to have the
case set for Thursday lie said that
he had been informed by a man who
left Baltimore at o'clock this morn
ing that there was then no sign of get
ting the fire under control. Under such
conditions. he said the witnesses would
probably be In Baltimore for a day or
So and for that reason he did not care
TO have 1t called before Thursday.
After considerable discussion on the
matter. the court decided the case must
go to the foot of the list.
The case OF James +. McMahon VS.. An
son NJ. Bangs et. al. was continued on
account OF the absence Of material witness
lses for the defense.
The case Of Sue C. Elliott vs.. Beatrice

London, Feb. S.-The opinion is gen.
erai that within space that can be
measured by hours-probably not more
than 100-Japan and Russia will be
at each others throats in a war which
may finally involve half dozen other
powers. The breaking off of negotia-
Itions between the Cars government
and the Mikado's and the statement
that Japan is moving forward troops
to seize Korea practically settle the
situation, it is thought.
But while all the world sees nothing
but war ahead the representatives OF
the two nations at loggerheads are de-
claring that hostilities may yet be
laverted.

rupture of diplomatic relations. Japan
