New York. December u.-After receiv- ing the first prize money of the six day bicycle race today at the office of P, T. Powers, the promoter of the race. Eddie Root was surrounded by number of riders who demanded share of the money They declared that combination of several teams had been formed by which the race was to be manipulated so that Root should defeat the Bedells and win the first prize. Mrs. Root was with the bike riders when demand for the distribution of the prizes was made. She announced that the money and gun were in her muff and that she would shoot the first man that tried to take it.
 When some of the riders threatened to punch Roots head, Mrs. Root warned them that she would shoot if they tried 1t. Fogler who was Roots riding part ner demanded the gun from Mrs. Root She refused to give it up and it is alleged threatened to shoot him. The Roots then left the building.

FRANCE AND VENEZUELA. Relations Between the Two Nations
 Becoming More Strained.

Washington, December u.-France has refused to withdraw her note to Vene- zuela protesting against President Cas- tro's treatment of M. Taigney, tho French diplomatic representative. MT Jusserand the French ambassador had a long conference with Secretary Root to- day regarding the Venezuelan situation which can be announced on high authori- ty Is daily growing worse. France. 1t is understood would have taken steps to pro- tect her own interests in Venezuela be- fore this had it not been for the unwill- ingness of the French government to make any move which would hinder or embarrass the settlement of the Ameri- can troubles with Venezuela. This is thoroughly understood by Secretary Root. and although MT. Russell, the American minister is still endeavoring to assist in reaching a peaceful settlement of affairs at Caracas, the determination with which the ambassador spoke to the secretary on behalf of the French government today makes it clear that the French patience is near the breaking point.

ECHO OF NAPLES CASE.
United States Supreme Court Reverses
 Circuit Courts Decision.

Washington, December 1.-The supreme court of the United States today reversed the ruling of the circuit court of the Uni ted states for the northern district of Alabama in the case of Thomas R. Rig gins and remanded the case to the Ala bama court with directions to quash the writ of habeas corpus sued out by Rig gins and dismiss the petition for such a writ. This case presented the broad ques- ton of the right of the negro to protec- ton against lynching under the federal constitution and laws, and thus involved the Jurisdiction of the federal courts :n such cases. The court did not, however enter upon these question, but based it's decision upon the technical ground that the proceedings my means of writ of habeas corpus was irregular. Higgins is a white man and was indicted by the grand jury for the circuit court for the northern district of Alabama on the charge of conspiring with others to lynch a negro named Naples at Huntsville in September, 1904. After being taken into custody he presented petition to the cir cult court praying to be released on d writ of habeas corpus contending that even though the offense charged was mo denial to Naples, a person of African descent, by reason of his race. of the right privilege and immunity of a trial by jury to determine his guilt or inno- cence of the charge of murder He broadly challenged the Jurisdiction of the court and when his writ was refused ap- pealed the case to the supreme court. The prosecution in the federal court was based upon the provisions of sections 550S and 55O9 of the revised statutes. and involved the construction of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the federal constitution.
 The opinion was by Chief Justice Fuller who said Higgins should have awaited the final determination of the case and then proceeded by means of a writ of error.
