THE PEACE DOVE
WAS DRIVEN OUT
CAM WINGFIELD TAXED WITH
FINE AND COSTS FOR ExPELL-
ING cooER FROM DoMlcILE.
JUDGE Erwin Was Interrupted in His
Lecture on ConjueaI Felicity by
Dusky Females Explanation.

Although protesting the greatest at
lection for his wife, Cam Wingfeld a
colored resident of the city, was taxed
with a fine and costs amounting 10
5000 by Judge Erwin in police court
Saturday. The evidence showed
that in some of his demonstrations OF
affection Cam had exceeded the speed
limit set by the law for the regula'
ton of all quiet households.
While Judge Erwin was Gliding the
obstreperous pair in a gentle way for
their mental incompatibility It wa
developed that what he had mistaken
at first for signs of mental alteration
was nothing worse than guitar of the
head" The court had expressed the
opinion that no married couple Of
sound mind would expell the dove OF
peace from the family domicile, and in
support of his contention jocularly
made reference to the, rowing habit
which the eyes of the dusky dame had
acquired. mo Judge, you's mistaken
dar. It's guitar OBJ de head dat makes
my eyes do dat way broke in the ac
cused female, and this explanation
was accepted by the recorder.

Criminal Court Room. Nashville.
Tenn, Feb. 2O.-A long and tiresome
delay occurred this morning before
proceedings began. The counsel for
defendants did not appear until $50
and it was more than an hour after
that before the defendants came in.
Judge Anderson and w. H. Washing
ton held a whispered conference with
Judge Hart at $3.50 and soon after the
rumor became current that defendant
Robin Cooper had left the court room
in a carriage with Washington and
Sheriff Borum. On inquiry the rumor
was confirmed Judge Hart gave per
mission to take defendant cooper from
the Jail, but the purpose was not
stated.
1t is understood hiatt young Cooper
went to the Office of DR.. Burch to have
X-ray examination of the bullet in his
shoulder. At 1880 o'clock Attorney
General McCarn became impatient and
INQUIRED the probable length of delay.
At ten minutes to eleven the defen-
dants entered. Robin Cooper, pale
but with firm step, moved to the
stand. There was perceptible stir
and much craning of necks to get a
view of the defendant.
Mr.. Cooper answered in an audible
tone and did not display any nervous
ness. while answering questions
Young Cooper somewhat nerVously
twisted his foot slowly. His left knee
was thrown across his right and
swung slowly bac kand forth, but his
face showed no evidence of excitment.
Judge Anderson conducted the ex-
animation, quickly bringing defendant
to the fatal day of the tragedy Coop
er's testimony was quickly interrupted
by a long argument over the admlssa-
bilitv of evidence. Witness said Col.
Cooper told witness that he was tired
of Carmacks attacks on him, that
they we're uncomfortable. Witness said
Col. Cooper told Ed Craig that II MI
Carmack did not stop using his name
the town was not big enough for both
of them. Witness was very much dis
tressed and told his father TO see Mr..

Bradford, who could have mutual
friends prevail on Mr.. Carmack to
stop his attacks on him. Col. Cooper
answered that he thought that Mr..
Bradford might succeed in doing this
and he would see him during the day.
Witness started TO tell what Col. Coop
er said about (having an interview
with Mr.. Carmack, but he was quickly
stopped by an objection and another
long argument ensued. Judge Ander-
son said that defendants had right
to prove everything that they said to
each other on the day Of the tragedy.
The court did not agree with him and
sustained an objection.
Witness said Col. Cooper said Ed
Craig told him that Carmack on night
before killing was in AN ugly mood"
After Col Cooper left the office wit
ness went to hunt him up. He wanted
to keep him off the street being afraid
Mr.. Carmack might resent his mes
sage of the night before. Witness
reached Office at II o'clock and phoned
Governor Patterson and asked him IL
he knew about the trouble between
lCooper and Carmack.
Robin Cooper was at Tulane at 10
and also later in the day Democratic
headquarters were there and his
father frequently visited them. Wit
ness got pistol at noon from his uncle,
Robin Jones. This pistol was ex-
hibited to defendant. He got pistol
because he feared Carmack would re-
sent message Of father and he got
pistol to protect father. Witness de.

Office between 10 and II in the morn

was back at Office about and Brad

fix up the matter. Soon after that he,
Col. Cooper Bradford and FULLY Brown
went into conference.
Robin Cooper said he and father Left
Bradfords Office about 4 to see Patter-

ed to witness going with him, saying
there would be no trouble because OF

N EXTRA NUMBER
. WAS PLAYED AT A
LOCAL THEATRE

URDAY NIGHT.
vsRTETlE IN FISTIC ARENA
,srassr Carter Biffed by Enrased
M,<nber Of The Troupe.-Scene
Laid in The Days of Rock And
Rye.

A number not on the program, and
~ one that would scarcely be classed
an encore, was witnessed at the
sOrrbeum theatre Saturday night by
he few who remained after the final
humber, and the clerks and store
seepers of the neighborhood.
The caste was composed of Manager
X Carter of the theater, and T. N.
crawford. ]. A. Price and Ed Stead
man three members of the male quar-
tatte which came out from Nashville
two weeks ago and had been singing
at the theater.
The scene would probably be classed
oe laid in the days when there were
saloons in Columbia and red-eye was
nIentiful, for from all reports some OF
that -Four Full Quarts for s1.75, Ex-
nress Prepaid" was plentiful and
among the property" listed and Sc
cured the afternoon before the show
The plot centered around $2.25
which Crawford, the tenor of the quar-
tette claimed was due him on his sal
arv for the week, or about $500 which
Mr. Carter claimed that Mrs. Carter
had maid the members of the quartette
nv mistake over and above what was
coming to them. Pay your money and
take your choice.
Crawford played the heavy role,
with Mr.. Carter in one of the leads,
while Price and Steadman held minor
positions. From all accounts and from
the appearance of Mr.. Carter's coun-
tenance Crawford has John l.. beaten
to fragile as slugger.
Three times, it is said Car
ter faced Crawford and three times
he hit the mat, while Price and Stead
man were possibly landing a few
blows in the short ribs.
The police interfered, as they have
In so many fistic encounters OF the
past, and broke up the show. Craw-
ford, Price and Steadman faced Judge
Erwin on charges of disorderly con-
duct and fighting, and after contribu-
ting the sum of $3.50 and costs each
to the city treasury, shook the dust OF
Columbia from their feet and sought
their old friends and old resorts in
Nashville.

CAFE
LOSES LICENSE
IS CONVICTED OF SELLING
LIQUOR TO MINORS
SaIoonmen Must Know Age of Gus
toners, Not Accept Representa-
tions-Pasadena Boys Are
Witnesses

A case with the spice of little
variety was presented to the police
commission last night when the Shang-
hal cafe, 4311a South Spring street, was
on trial for selling liquor to minors
under IS years old. All previous cases
that have come before the commission
have been for violation of the law that
prohibits a restaurant to serve liquor
without full meals.
The case against the Chinese res
taurant was so clear that the commits
sion by unanimous vote revoked the
permit to sell liquor. In doing so a
principle of law that one saloon man
said not half the men in his business
knew was made clear. That is that any
one who serves liquor to a minor under
IS years old does SO at his own peril
whether he knows the age of his GUS
toner and whatever representations as
to age may be made about him. He
must know he is over 49, and If he does
not he must not sell him liquor
Two Pasadena boys, John and Ernest
Murray, were the principal witnesses
for the prosecution. John Murray tes-
titled he would not be 18 years old until
December, and his brother Ernest said
he would not be II until February.

MAN FOUND HELPLESS IN
ALLEY HAD PLENTY MONEY
At Police Station Where Drunkenness
Charged $2oe7.3o Was Taken
from His Pocket

Lying in darkened alley near Sec
ond and Spring streets, Jerry Black,
an old man, was found last night by
Patrolman Cummins and taken to po-
lice headquarters, charged with drunk
enness. When searched before being
locked up $20S7.30 cents in currency
and negotiable checks were found in
one of his pockets loose
The action of the patrolman was all
that saved Black from being a victim
of thieves, as. he was perfectly help
less and would have been easy picking
for any one who came in contact
with him.
In the sum were four bank drafts for
$500 each and $3.50 in cash. the
drafts were from Boone, Iowa, on the
City National bank of New York and
were as good as cash to any one.
Black was able to state that he was
in the hardware business and was
about to make a trip to New York, but
met ~ome friends for a little farewell
party, and the rest he win tell in court
this morning.

RED HOT
FOR YACHT RACE
SIR THOMAS LANDS AND WILL
TALK BUSINESS
GAME BRlToN WILL CHALLENGE
FOR PRICED CUP
Has Crossed Atlantic to Confer with
Committees of New York Yacht
club--Wants Several Con-
dltions Changed
Edited by
A. E. DUNNING
rBy Associated Press ]


NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-'I have come
over this time red hot for another
challenge to the New York Yacht club
and will do my best to arrange mat
ters with the club so that / can have
another chance to lift the Americas
cup"
So spoke Sir Thomas Upton today
on his arrival from Europe. He will
be in New York several days.
II don't care to talk more definitely"
Sir Thomas said, until l have seen
the yacht club committee which will
have this matter in charge"
1t is believed Sir Thomas mas
brought with him a challenge condi-
toned upon modification of the rules
governing the contests for the Amer
ica's cup. Sir Thomas desires the club
to change the present rule so that he
can bring over a Shamrock ~, built
under rules which will permit the con-
struction of a substantial racing craft.
The present rule governing the
Americas cup races provides only for
given water line length and under
this condition fragile racing machines
were developed Sir Thomas expects
to meet the members of the New York
Yacht club within a few days.
Sir Thomas consented later to talk
about what he would like to see done
in order to give challengers what he
considered an equal chance with
American yachts in cup races.
81 have been defeated three times
in American waters" said Sir Thomas,
land l will say frankly that on each
occasion the best boat has won. How
ever, every time 1 have challenged the
racing rules have been so changed
that each new race has required that
l build a bigger freak than the last
one. Five times the rules have been
changed.
ITO bring over the freak yacht
which it is necessary to build under
the present rules means grave danger
to the yacht and to the men aboard
her. l have lost two men in coming
across the Atlantic.
What ! desire is to race under the
universal rules. If I can't win under
that rule 1 can at least provide good
sport, and that is the primary reason
for all racing, or at least it should be-"
Sir Thomas said he wanted to race
for the cup with a 90-footer, and
would be ready in 1911.

Australia Not for johnson

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Jack Johnson,
the colored pugilistic champion, arrived
here today, declaring that he would
leave Wednesday for New York to see
Jeffries, and that he would stand for
any sort of division of the fight receipts
winner take all, If Jeffries so wished.
In discussing the terms of the fight
johnson said tonight that no terms
would be put up from his side.
1--WE will listen to what Jeffries has
to offer" said Johnson, land II his
ideas are reasonable 1t will not take
ten minutes to fix up the arrange
ments. We want nothing unreasonable
just a fair fight for both sides.
'eThere is one thing I am against,
and that is any bids for the fight in
Australia. never will fight over
there again after the treatment l re-
ceived. The fight must take place
either in this country or in England,
and I am sure that bidding here will
be stronger than anything England
could offer.
GAS for the time of the battle, JEFF
fries can have his own way. / see he
is reported to have said he would be
ready in March or April. That suits
me and l will be ready for him then
or sooner, but, of course, there would
be no sense in putting the fight off
much longer than that"

the Central Babes yesterday at Pra-
ger park to 2.
The contest between the Centrals

With two on the bases In the fifth,
Pierce rushed over behind second on a
slow one and scooped the ball in,
whipping his man out at first. Terry
at short for the Seals played a nice
game, both at the bat and in the field.
With one down in the sixth, he raped
out nice two-bagger past third,
sending one man in and scoring a mo-
ment later on a single. Finkle,
busher in the box for the Centrals,
