of Dining Car Waiter

James NJ Smith of Phoenix, Ariz.,
who has come here to measure the
tenders of the United Railroads, ap-
peared in Police Judge ShortaHs court

eeny While on his way to this city

Smith, who had been sampling the
LIQUOR on the train, took a fancy to
the salt shaker and offered the waiter
81 for it, but the waiter insisted upon
$3.50. Smith thought the price too
high, but rather than lose the salt
shaker he put it in his pocket and
was arrested on the arrival of the
train.
When taken to the southern police
station Smith asked what the amount
of his bail was, and when informed
that it would be $50 he put his hand
into one of his shoes, pulled out wad
of greenbaeks amounting to 5000 and
handed over $50 from it. Smith agreed
to pay for the salt shaker, and Police
Judge Shortall, looking upon the occur
renee as due to intoxication, dismissed
the case.

JUROR RELIEVED
BY JUDGE JONES
DEFENSE IN THE MARSHALL CASE
CHARGES THAT HE HAD EX-
PRESSED AN OPINION.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Jan. 21.-AfteI
Sol Narde, a farmer of this city, had
been substituted for Juror Carey, who
the attorney for the defense declared
had expressed an opinion as to the
guilt of the defendant, the hearing OF
evidence in the trial Of Ed Marshall,
alleged night rider charged with muir
der in connection with the lynching OF
Capt. Quentin Rankin, began late to-
day. The affidavit OF the defendants
attorneys was supplemented by evil
dence of two persons, who said Carey
had declared he believed Marshall was
guilty. He was relieved from the jury
by Judge Jones.
The State made no fight on the mo-
ton leaving the matter entirely with
Judge Jones who stated that he did
not think the statements attributed to
Carey We're sufficient to render him
incompetent, but that he would grant
the motion rather than take any
chances in the matter.
Three witnesses testified today and
repeated practically without new fea-
ture the testimony given at the pre-
yious night rider trial Seid Waddell,
Secretary of the West Tennessee Land
Company, told of Rankin's connection
with the company; J. F. Carpenter, a
lawyer of this city, testified as to max
ing an appointment to meet Rankin
and Col. Taylor at Walnut Log, and
Ed Powell, who, it is declared, was
forced to accompany the band on the
night of the lynching, told of the kill
ing and declared he recognized several
of the party, but did not see Marshall
Powell was still on the stand when
court adjourned for the day.

HOPKINS CHANCES
ARE DIMINISHING
SEVEN MORE BALLOTS TAKEN BY
ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE With
OUT RESULT.

SPRINGFIELD. H. Jan. 2l.-When
seven more ballots had been taken in
the General Assembly without elect
ing q Senator the joint session arose
until the next legislative day the
House and Senate hurriedly adopted
a Joint resolution adiournlng until
next Tuesday, and the members hur-
ried from the Capitol building to catch
afternoon trains of their homes. With
the weekend adjournment, the scene
OF battle naturally shifted to Chicago,
where the fight will be carried on until
next Monday.
Twelve ballots in all have been ia
ken in the Joint Assembly since it was
first called to order at noon Wednes-
day. There have been changes and
fluctuations of more or less impor-
lance from one candidate to another
throughout the balloting, but no det1-
mite result looking TO the final break
ing of the senatorial deadlock, or the
naming Of a successor to Albert j.
hopkins in the United States Senate
has been accomplished.
In the balloting it is found that Sen
ator Hopkins has had his try-out and
has failed so far to bring about his
reelection. In a measure the bars
have been let down, as is shown by the
increase in the number of candidates
from five, who we're voted on the first
ballot, to ten, who were voted for on
the twelfth ballot. And there will be
other additions 10 the list if the dead
lock is not broken when the Legisla-
tors resume balloting next week.

PRESIDENT HAS
COME DOWN PEG
TALKS OVER CALlFORNlA-JAPA
NESE SITUATION AND OTHER
MATTERS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Japa-
nese legislation question in California
was discussed at conferences today
between President Roosevelt and Sen
ators Flint and Fulton, and others.
The President urged the necessity OF
CALIFORNIA; congressional delegation
using their influence as fully as posi-
bic against legislation that might be
resented by Japanese.
The President talked cautiously
with some of his congressional visitors
today. He went so far as to say he
thought nothing pending in Congress
nor any of the differences between
himself and Congress were of half the
Importance as the Japanese-C California
question
Although talking with great delib
Grafton and care, the President still
recognizes the existence of deep
founded antagonistic sentiment to the
Japanese in California, and the wis
dom of placating that sentiment so as
to end the agitation with as little de-
lay as possible. Because of the al
mast unanimous sentiment in the
State the President realizes the re-
sponsibilty upon Gov. Gillett in using
his influence upon the Legislature to
stop legislation at this session, and
wants to do all he can to share some
of the responsibility.
This was diplomatic day at the State
Department and among Secretary
Roots callers was Ambassador Taxa
hira, of Japan. He declared his call
was personal one, in anticipation of
the Secretary's forthcoming retire
ment from the Cabinet.
