Terrible Terry" Will Try to Regain
His Lost Pueilistic IaureIs in
Contest With Battling
Nelson.

Philadelphia, March 13.-To prove
to the sporting world that he is the
same Terrible Terry" of old, that he
is the same fighter that he was be-
fore he went down to defeat before
Young Corbett in Hartford five years
ago, Terry McGovern will tomorrow
night meet Battling Nelson is six
round affair before the National Sport
ing club of this city.
Not only will McGovern meet the
best pugilist of mis-. weight now be,
fore the public, but in Nelson he will
meet foe worthy of his attempt to
regain the title he lost when Young
Corbett knocked him out twice and
killed his pugilistic ambitions.
The boys will do battle before the
largest crowd that has ever witnessed
fistlc contest in this city. Both
boys are in splendid condition and
have trained faithfully for the con.
test.
Speaking of his chances of victory
Nelson tonight said:
II am willing to sign paper before
L 81 lhtO thO ilh6 IiidI L all DSlI0t
than ever l was in my life. Then If
McGovern wins, there will be no flaw
to his title. He can say he licked
a champion at his best. want to
win In a punch if | can and ask moth
ing better than to stand toe to toe and
swap punches. l. have never backed
in my life, and don't intend to now.
This don't mean that I'll stand like a
dub and offer him my 5aw. wouldn't
do that to the weakest of hitters, let
alone Terry, but won't run. I'll be
there for slug. l look for a quick
verdict and victory, of course"
Nelson is the favorite in the betting
tonight, the odds being about two to
1, although knockout or a foul will
be necessary for a payment of bets
as the law prohibits any official de
cision.
The western contingent are backing
Nelson to man. while those of the
east who are here to witness the
fight are standing out for McGov-
ern's chances.

MOODY
To Argue Governments
Case in Packers Plea
For immunity.

Chicago, Ill, March 13.-Argument
on a motion that the jury be directed
to return q verdict in favor of the gov
ernment and against the indicted
packers in their immunity plea is to
be made personally by United States
Attorney General William H. Moody.
This was learned today when the pro.
ceedings were resumed before Judge
Humphrey in the United States dis
trict court. Mr.. Moody appeared in
court with advices from Washington,
which he, had received the day before,
that the supreme court, in the cases
of the tobacco and paper trusts" had
held "a corporation is not entitled to
immunity"
When asked about the ruling the
attorney general said he intended to
reserve his comments until he began
his argument before Judge Humphrey.
The governments motion is counter
to one made by Attorney John S. Mil.
ler that the jury be directed to re-
turn a verdict in favor of the packers,
the house sustaining their plea of i'm
munity. Mr.. Miller continued his ar
gument today.
Attorneys for the packers expressed
the belief today that the Supreme
Court decision on immunity does not
materially affect the case of their eli.
ents.

Much Bearing on the
Threatened Strike.

Promptly at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning the national executive board
of the United Mine Workers will take
up the situation in the anthracite dis
tricts and will decide whether to call
the attention of the national miners

the anthracite trouble.

cuss in any manner what the conven-
ton would do, and other officials of
the mine workers are quiet as to the
program, if there is any When ask.
ed about his reported confirmation OF
the statement issued some time ago
by Vice President Lewis that there
would be no strike, Mr.. Mitchell said
he had been misquoted.

The miners officers are gathering
in indianapolis for their meetings,
which will begin with the executive
board session tomorrow and will be
followed Thursday by the opening of
the convention in the German House
The final split, unless great con-
cessions are made by both sides, will
occur in the New York meeting. AS it
will not be held until after the ad-
journment of the Indianapolis conven-
tion and conferences, which will prob
ably not be over before Saturday
March "a, the indications are that
there will be no agreement at the
time of the expiration, on March g.
of the present award of the anthra
cite strike commission.
The anthracite officers say the local
unions of those three districts with
have large representation in the spe-
cial national convention. Reports
from different points indicate that all
local unions are sendig delegates.
The reports continue to tell of the
operators making preparations for a
strike They are pushing work and
increasing their storage piles of coal,
stockade building that is going on, SO
the miners say
PRESIDENT PLEADS FOR PEACE
Notwithstanding the statements
made at Washington that President
Roosevelt Is not at this time exerting
any influence on the coal operators
and miners, and that DR.. Charles P.
Neill, United States commissioner of
labor. did not go to Philadelphia to
confer with President Mitchell on or
ders from the executive mansion
there are strong indications that the
president is at work to bring peace
| If possible.
Patrick Dolan left Pittsburg Sunday
for Atlantic City to take a little rest
| before coming to indianapolis He
! will be here Thursday and trouble
will probably date from his arrival.
The Indiana operators are holding
their annual meeting at Terre Haute
! today. They will decide what policy
they will pursue in the operators
meeting in this city, which begins
next Monday. They seem to be a
unit against F. L. Robbins plan to re-
store the 1903 wage scale.

put the friends of Vice President G..

ly pleased that Taft had stepped out
of the field
Friends of Fairbanks know that
there is a considerable element in In
diana opposed to him for anything.
He has made many political enemies
while building up his machine. These
political enemies were inclined to ia
vor a boom for Taft.
The Marion club, the largest Re-
publican organization in Indiana, took
cognizance of the withdrawal of Taft
by publicly adopting resolutions ad-
dressed to Fairbanks calling attention
to his candidacy. They read:
ITO the Hon. Charles Warren Fair
banks, Vice President of the United
States, Washington:
"Greeting-By resolution unani-
mously adopted, the Marion club, to

RATE BILL
When Passed Will Likely
Contain a judicial Re-
view Amendment.

Washington, March 13.-The Hep
burn railroad rate bill, now before the
senate will when passed contain a
judicial review amendment.
Just how liberal it's provisions will
be cannot be accurately forcasted.
Both friend and foe admit that it must
be amended. The fight between the
conflicting forces is now centered upon
the phraseology or the latter amend
ment.
The. nti-administration forces de-
clare that majority of the senate
is in favor of provision permitting
an appeal from the commissions find
ing and suspension of the rate un-
der-the filing of suitable bond
TILLMAN'S CONTENTION.
Mr., Tillman (Dem., N. c. contends
that all but three Democratic senators
stand for the Bailey plan, which pur-
poses expediting rate actions, but
would prohibit the courts from sus-
pending the rate upon an interlocu-
that the new rate was confiscatory.
He believes that while Republican SEN
ators favorable to the administration
don't give this plan their present ad
herence, they will support it later.
Mr.. Dolliver (Rep., Iowa) joint au-
thor of the Hepburn-Dolliver bill,
now under consideration, admits him
self that there must be some form
of judicial review amendment. He is
puzzling his brain in an attempt to
reach the solution of the problem.
Mr. Lodge (Rep, Mass.) adheres to
his idea that the bill must be amend
ed to provide Imprisonment for vio-
lators of it's provisions. He will later
offer an amendment embodying his
views.
Mr.. Tillman, who! has charge of the
measure, served notice upon the SEN
ators today that he would no longer
consent to restricting the considera-
ton of rate measures to the time after
two o'clock each day.
ToItAhEJN IlIfalND II lbOlNl.
That was the customary hour for
taking up the regular order he knew.
but he declared that he was not in
favor of dawdling away time upon the
legislation that the people were so
desirous of having congress enact.
He announced his intention of moving
on Thursday that the rate bill be taken
I..A AoIx A f,,o
ress, which would give him additional
time of an hour and half. 81 will
not insist upon earlier action" he
said, because of previous notices Of
speeches. These will be out of the
way by Thursday"
Mr.. Foraker and MIR. Lodge ex-
pressed their approval of the S ,ua-
tors intentions.
Fearing that Mr.. Tillman's remarks
might be misconstrued the Ohio sena-
tor pointed out that the two speeches
referred to were to be delivered by
Democrats and that they had been
originally set for an earlier hour.
Mr.. Simons, (Dem., N. CO. dealt
sharply with the trusts in speech on
the bill. He argued that government
al regulation was necessary Ito pro-
tect the people against these unreas-
enable and extortionate rates, rooted
In the scramble of railroads for more
and higher dividends, and to protect
both the railroads and the people
against the 'hold-up' Of those monop-
olistic combinations of shippers"
