EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO AR

The desire of those interested in bringing

and Mr.. Soper, assistant United States at

found difficult to arrange a case that would

are already some appeals to Maryland
courts from arrests and fines by Mayor

1t is hardly likely, however, that these
cases can be framed 50 as to get before

ARTHUR SIMMONS DEAD
FOR YEARS WAS DOORKEEPER
AT WHITE HOUSE.

Arthur Simmons, formerly the colored
doorkeeper at the White House. died last
night at his home from the effects of
paralysis, with which he was stricken at 2
O'Clock Wednesday morning. He leaves a
wife and four children.
Arthur Simmons was the best known COL
ored messenger In the government service
In Washington. The most of his time had
been passed at the White ouse although he
had been twice transferred from there He
was from North Carolina and came here
shortly after the civil war, in which he had
figured in minor place. He obtained en-
ployment at the White House under Presi-
dent Johnson. serving in various capacities
until he became a messenger in the first ad-
ministrat ton Of President Cleveland. He
became attached to Mr.. Cleveland and was
deeply mortified when the Harrison admin
istration promptly sent him to an insignif1-
cant place in the Treasury Department
He never did get over the modification of
the transfer. and to his white friends fire.
quenty declared that in spite of his being
a negro he had been worse treated by a re-
publican administration than by demo-
cratic. When President Cleveland was elected
the second time Simmons went back to the
White House a messenger becoming the
trusted doorkeeper of Secretary Thurber
The Mckinley administration retained him
in the same place, and he was doorkeeper
to Secretaries Porter and Cortelyou. He
kept the same place under Secretary Loeb
for some time, but In January 1905, Mr..
Loeb came to the conclusion that Simmons
had outlived his usefulness and that he had
better be transferred. He sent Simmons to
the Interior Department at a much smaller
salary than he was getting at the White
House. This blow was pretty hard on Sim
mons. who grieved about it a great deal.
He had been frugal during his govern
ment service and thirty-five or forty years
ago bought the property at 1879 l. street,
where he afterWard lived.
Funeral services will be held at o'clock
next Sunday afternoon at Plymouth Con-

FUSS OVER FENCE WIRE.
Federal High Court in Sydney Is All
Worked Up.

Special Cablegram to The Star
SYDNEY, N. 8. W., August 23-The fed
eral high court has refused leave to the
commonwealth government to move ex-parte
for an ad interim injunction to restrain the
government of New South Wales from fur
ther dealing with the wire netting. removed
by them.
The government of New South Wales is
importing large quantities of wire netting
for distribution among the settlers The
federal government takes the ground that
a duty of 25 per cent must be paid on the
netting and forbade the customs officials at
Sydney to hand over certain consignment
till the duty had been paid. New South
Wales refused to pay, on the ground that
the netting is state property and so exempt
from duty, and 1t sent a strong force to the
custom house and seized and removed the
netting. The federal governments con-
tenton is that the netting Is not for state
use, but is to be sold to private persons
Sir William Lyme, acting prime minister Of
the commonwealth, applied to the high court
to enjoin Premier Carruthers of New South
Wales from interfering with the common
wealth's decision regarding the duty on the
netting. AS above stated the court has de.
cided against the commonwealth.
