FATAL FIGHT IN MID AIR.
Men Battle on Superstructure Fifty
 Feet Above the East River.

New York, March Fifty feet above the East river, on superstructure used by the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel en- gineers for carting coal, two men bat tied desperately late to-day, and few seconds after the last blow was struck one of them dropped dead in his tracks. Swaying from one side of the narrow structure to the other, seemingly about to plunge into the river at every min ute, the combatants waged their battle for several minutes, until the vanquish- ed received two terrific blows on the jaw, knocking him to the floor of the structure. Regaining his feet and feel ing that he had enough, he started to walk away but he had gone but a few steps when he fell dead, Fred Moon, thirty-two years of age, a laborer, who was employed in pushing the coal cars, is the man who went to his death. Patrick McAssey, thirty-four years old, an engineer, is locked up on the charge of homicide.

CONFERENCE WILL FAIL
 IF GERMANY PERSISTS
ONLY 4 CHANGE IN HER ATTI- TUDE CAN SAVE THE
 SITUATION.

Washington Informed of This-Long
 Conference at State Department Re-
 tween Secretary Root and the French
 Ambassador During Which the Me-
 gOtiatiOns at AIgeciras Are the Main
 Subject of DiscussiOn---This Govern
 ment Cannot be Expected to Inter
 yene.
 Washington, March While no irn- mediate break in the conference at AL gerciras is expected by this government the negotiations there have reached a stage which, according to the reports received here, threaten the failure of the conference, unless there is a change in the attitude of Germany. A long con- ference occurred at the state depart ment to-day between Secretary Root and Mir. Jusserand the French ambas- sador, during which the negotiations at Algeciras was the main subject under discussion. It is not unlikely that some of the neutral powers more directly in- terested will renew their efforts to bring France and Germany into accord. The Washington government, however, it is stated here, is not among the powers chiefly interested at Algeciras, and can- not be expected to intervene in Euro pean politics.

FISH TO LEAD PoLICYHOLDERs'
 INTERVENTION

COmmIttee 10 DC international in Character and Independent of All Others-Thorough Inquiry from the Inside ImpracticabIe Declares Fish Asks Lord NorthcIiff of England to Join In the Movement.
 New York, March 1.--Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central railroad and until recently a trustee of the Mutual Life Insurance company, and member of the Mutual's investi- gating committee probably will head a policyholders movement in that com pany for investigation and reform. It was practically settled to-day that MT. Fish will lead committee of policy holders of the Mutual in the United States and Europe.
 Invitations to number of prominent policyholders in all parts of the United States were mailed to-day and great number of acceptances are expected by those in charge of the movement.
 The proposed committee will work in- dependently of the so-called governors and Lawson committees. It is planned to demand a thorough investigation of the company.
 Reports that MT. Fish may be asked to accept the presidency of the com pany in the event of the overthrow of the present regime are said to be with out foundation.
 D. Cady Herrick, who was one of the counsel to the Truesdale committee un- til MT Fish withdrew, will be retained as one of the legal advisers to the in- ternational committee. Samuel Unter- mver will be associated with him and other eminent counsel will be engaged.
 MT. Fish has replied to Lord North Cliffs cablegram as follows.
 Gable received. Having become sat isfied thorough investigation from in side impracticable, I resign from com mittee and later from board. The con- mittee'e four counsel also resigned. Am invited to join policyholders' movement for investigation and reform. What would you suggest? Would you also join international policyholders' com mittee and provide suitable French and German representatives for whom you could vouch?' Signed; Fish"
 Lord Northcliffe's cablegram to MT. Fish follows:
 London, March 1, 1906. Fish New York;
 British Policyrolders Protection as- sociation committee view with appre- hension your resignation from investi- gation committee. Does this imply abandoning your strenuous efforts for thorough investigation and genuine re- form? They urge you to continue sup port, with all your power and influence, the general movement to liberate Mu- tual Life from trusts and Wall street, making it once more really mutual, and managed solely In the policyholders' ir- terests.

MILITIA CONTROL SITUATION
GUNS AND TROOPS DEPREss SPRINGFIELD, O., RIOTERS.

Incipient Attempts at Incendlarism---
 Strange Men Appear on the Streets
 of Dayton and 1t is Believed They
 Are There to Cause an Outbreak
 Against the Negroes Responsible for
 Brakeman Davis Death.
 Springfield, O., March 1.-After a day quiet from the mob which has held sway for two nights, this evening was ushered in with indications that more depredations against the colored popu- lation of the city had been planned for tonight.
 Anticipating that the attack, If made. would be in the vicinity of Section street, Colonel Ammel sent squad of soldiers to that locality at 7:3O o'clock. Just before their arrival crowd of rioters sprang from the house of Pearl Howard, against which threats had been made. The house had been set on fire, but the troops sent in an alarm and the structure was only slightly damaged. The rioters escaped,
 As a precautionary measure Colonel Ammel has posted two machine guns and a company of troops at the court house and Jail, and the entire square Is cut off. An effort was made tonight to secure automobiles to carry troops from one section of the city to another when needed, but not enough could be had, and wagons have been provided for that purpose.
 The distribution of the guns and troops over the city has had depress- ing effect on the rioters, and, with the exception of little affrays which did not amount to much. but little out of the ordinary had happened up to II o'clock. A house at High and Race streets re- gently occupied by negroes was fired by rioters, but the flames were quelled be- fore they had made great headway.
 Arthur Anoil, member of the Xenia Military companl, was hit in the head with brick, said to have been thrown by a rioter and fatally hurt tonight. His assailant had an improvised slung- shot of a piece of brick wrapped in a  handkerchief. Two more companies of state troops from Piqua are held in readiness for service here, but the pres ent outlook does not indicate that more will be needed as the backbone of the riot seems to have been broke effectu- ally.
 Dayton, o. March 1. - Concurrent with the report from Springfield that the death of Davis would lead to re- lentless pursuit of his murderer, num- Der of strange men have been noted on the streets here tonight They have stopped citizens to ask for lodging places and have invariably inquired whether any railroad men frequented there The police, the sheriff and the militia are on the alert for an outbreak
