ANTI-INJUNCTIoN AOT,
Attempt May Be Made to Put It
 Code

Attempt May Be Made to Put It in
 Code.
 Washington, March 10.-Through an attempt to codify and revise the laws affecting the Jurisdiction and practices of the Federal courts. Congress may be brought face to face during the special session with the necessity of considering the proposed anti-injunc- ton bills and the equally troublesome question of conflict between Federal and State courts.
 Within a week after the Sixty-first Congress convenes the joint Commit tee on the Revision of the Laws of the United States will be prepared to re. port on the revision and codification of the laws concerning the Jurisdiction and practice of the Federal courts.
 AS the penal code bill was amended so as to fasten to 1t a rider" the Knox-Humphreys bill for the Federal regulation of the interstate shipment of intoxicating liquors. so it Is antici- pated that advocates of anti-injunction legislation will attempt to graft their bill son the Judiciary codiication.
 Efforts will be made at the begin hing of the special session to have the Senate consider the codifcation. While the Senate Is considering the tarin measure an attempt will be made to bring the codifcation bill before the House.
 Probably the most important change in the judiciary laws determined upon is that by which all the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Appeals is con- ferred upon the Circuit Courts. The committee proposes to take away from the Circuit Courts all original 1urisdic- tion, giving 1t to the District Courts, and to change the name of the Cir cult Court of Appeals" to Circuit Courts
 The Circuit Court of Appeals was es- tabl!shsd to relieve the Supreme Court of the United States
 The commission of 1897 to revise the laws. reported In favor of the abolition of the original jurisdiction of the Cir cuit Courts. As the Circuit Courts without appellate Jurisdiction would have the authority to try no cases, it was recommended that the appellate jurisdiction of the Circuit Courts of Appeal devolve upon them. This rec- omnendation, the joint committee is now prepared to present to the Senate and the House.

Speaking of the fight between Jabez White and Joe Cans in New York to- night. an Eastern paper says:
 Joe Cans, former lightweight champ ion of the world. will get back into action on Thursday night for the first time since he was knocked out by Bat ting Nelson September g last at Col ma. The man who has agreed to take a chance with the Baltimore veteran is Jabez White. of England, who. hav- ing watched enviously the success of and Driscoll. came over. to take whirl at the Americsp fighters.
 This is not WhitSs first visit He was over i've years ago and lost . In a savage fight on the coast. There are those who say the Briton has made & mistake in selecting Cans as his first opponent. These people argue that round route he still is able to whip any lightweight in the business. They declare that Cans still can hit; that he has lost none of his speed ana clever. @ a half hour of fighting. It may be so. and If 1t is then Indeed will the Briton have to look to his laurels. For If hell come home on the bit. White is veteran. almost as old as Cans.
 He Is not of the rugged type. like Owen Moran. though a heavier man. decided victory over the ex-champion he would be right in line for a match with Battling Nelson and might nose out Mcfarland. Welsh and Thompson in their race for the plum. Nelson is the only present-day lightweight to have whipped Cans. and the next one to turn the trick will be accorded high honor by the fans. It's great chance for White, but a dangerous one. The tale will be told Thursday night in Q New York ring.
 Johnny Thompson fought his way into the hearts of Eastern fight fans by his decisive victory over Mickey Cannon in New York last week. Thompson's friends consider the bout a big boost for him in his campaign for a. match with the lightweight champ ion. But the fight really was a go between welterweights. Thompson and Cannon weighed in at 40 pounds. Gan non does not fight at lighter weight than that Thompson proved himself rattling good fighter but the contest really gives little bearing on his abil- ity when fighting at 133 pounds at the ringside The Cyclone gave the hard hitting Cannon a lovely whaling. He knocked him down in the first round and had him curled up in a corner. all to the bad. when the bell changed in

 The club has been greatly handi. capped in the past by not being able to have available information concern- Ing sites to give persons and corpor- ations who have expressed a desire to establish plants in Montgomery Be- sides this feature of the work the real estate situation in general will be a topic of discussion. especially the get ting in touch with owners of large tracts of farm land. who are open to the discussion of breaking up these plantations into farms to be retned or sold.

AMUSEMENTS.
Edna Wallace Hopper ia s'5O Miles from Boston, mt the Grand Tonight.

Miss Edna Wallace Hopper will be presented at the Grand tonight In George M. Cohan's merry New Eng land musical comedy "5o Miles from Boston, under the management of Conan and Harris
 Versatile MT. Conan has long pos- sessed a well developed knack of fin- gering the public pulse and diagnosing exactly the likings of the theatre-go- ing public. and in "5o Miles from Bos- tom he is said to have found just what iightful mixture of sentiment and pathos, with bits of Jingling music, and a number of songs and chorus numbers, together with some of the best players ever assembled in a mu- sical organization.
 Miss Hopper appears as the pretty little village postmistress whose love affair with the hero of the Harvard baseball club. furnishes the assembled villagers with endless gossip. The role is entirely different from any which this fascinating little comedienne has essayed-but MT. Conan Is said to have written it for her and it suits h CT dainty personality better than any other in which she has appeared. Miss Hopper has been favorite star ever since she came to New York from Cal ifornia and endeared herself to that exacting city by her beautiful voice and captivating ways. Her success in "Floradora" and In The Silver Slip per" are still remembered.
 Susanne Leonard Westford. Lillian Russell's sister. as the spiteful village gossip, Is said to have the best part of her career and her gosslpy song "Ain't It Awful" always brings down the house.
 Mir. Conan, be it mentioned in pass ing, is said to have given to "50 Miles from Boston" some of the brightest and catchiest songs. They include Jack and Jill" My Small Town Gal" "Harrigan." Waltz With Me" Amt It Awful" and Boys Who Fight the Flames"

Miss Ellen Terry gave Madame Nazi- mova the first opportunity to speak English. Madame Nazimova remem- bers 1t, although the efforts she made to tell an audience how grateful she was for their compliments were con- fined to speaking but three words. Eazimova was appearing in London with the Russian company of which she was the star. and took part in a benefit. Miss Terry gave the use of her theatre. After Nazimova had f1n- ished her part of the entertainment the audience was most enthusiastic and called her before the curtain several times. with English cordiality, demand ing a speech. Said Madame NaEImova in speaking of this event: T was ter riled Miss Terry came to- me and in her crisp. perfect English> Said, go on and say, "1 thank you" I finally did and stammered out T sank you That little speech was my first in English. did not then realize that I would one day be playing in this new tongue" Madame Nazimova's English has im- proved wonderfully, 1t Is said. and when she plays her coming engage ment at the Grand -goers of thls city will have their first chance to judge how much.

He has lived & fast pace and has lost too much ground to ever come back and have his old stamina, speed and endurance. Jeffries' best friends know that Johnson would beat his head of now.
