Row in Racing Circles N
 Threatens to be Serious

war Is imminent in racing circles between the Jockey Club and the Mary land Jockey Club which may result In sns sn at RPGy Peo MS has has been brewing between these two bodies has been apparent for some time. and the announcement of the Bal on dates for their coming meeting with out the official sanction of the Jockey Club will more than likely bring about a bitter clash very shortly says The New York American.
 If the matter comes down to q crisis. with neither side willing to make any overtures. 1t means that the lot of the horsemen will become more fact. for many years. It Is known that the Jockey Club feels that 1t has been sighted and its dignity insulted by the no redress is offered them. in all prob- ability they will issue a sweeping or der declaring that course outside of the jurisdiction of organized racing, ana that if they participate in the coming Pimlico meeting in all probability they will be ruled off all the courses under the charge of the Jockey Club. and citations which recognize the rulings of the New York body.
 This drastic action would be a se- were blow to Pimlico. u,n The horse oWn, tHn, track would sidestep the meeting, so ss not to fall under the ban of the main organization. If they refused to obsy could cov Aass only 'i race S their horses at the small meets in the West, where order and law are winked at. There would be no haven in Canada. for the ,h tracks es Jockey Club of this country, They each recognize the others ruIing con- corning turf matters.

Another act which didn't help to in- crease the friendly relations between the Jockey Club and the Pimlico Asso- ciation> was the ousting>of John c. Cavanahgh from the management of the betting ring at Pimlico. The pop ular ringmaster. who Is known to ev- esty and capability. lost control oe the ring at the Pimllco course fo- some reason which Is still unknown.
 It is claimed that the reason f VT :he Club Is due principally to the fact that the game about Gotham ia expected to be conducted on strictly sporting scale this season. which will mean .
 The Pimiico. track Is the only track 10 wed. and this attraction is figured to De msGnst thss w,Ll t1d bring Sowp s, city. whsther this will be the case depends upon an amicable agreement between the wArring associations, as the regulars will light shy of any place
 The trouble originally started at the opening of last season. when the main organization issued orders to the South ern. oniciai. to improve their course be- officiai sanction. This was done at quite an expense. but at the same time the outlay was not appreciated by the meetino conictsd tn' Hlth the sne1 Jamaica Is datea and when requested to postpone the meeting 90 as not to conflict with the Long Island course. they refused. tend that meeting. allured by the bet ting arrangements. and naturally Ja- maIca suffered accordingly. Efforts are being made to heal the wide breach the sport that these efforts may prove successful.

One Death Results, But Troops Event.
 ally Restore order.
 Rome, March 7.-General elections were held throu ghout Italy today for the election of the new Chamber of Deputies. In the Province of Caserta. one man was killed and reports from other constituencies state that many persons were injured in street brawls.
 The Government in anticipation of trouble, had taken preventative meas ures tnd the troops eventually suc- ceeded in restoring order.
 According to partial returns receiv- ed tonight the present ministry is given a large majority in the new Chamber. The exact figures are not known for a number of constituencies, owing to a heavy snow fall in the north and a terrific rainstorm through out the remainder of Italy.
 The Clericals. almost in full force. participated in the elections for the first. time since 1870. Premier Giolitti still is arbiter of the situation and Italy's position with regard to her foreign policy. which did not figure in the campaign. ro aims unchanged, all except the extreme parties favoring the maintenance of the triple alliance with friendship for Great Britain and France.
 The success of the anti -clericals in three constituencies In Rome. where they stood against the Clericals, shows the persistent strength of the anti Clerical bloc" formed last year. when 1t was led to. victory by the Nathan administration in the municipal elec- tions.

Demonstration.
 Paris. March 7.-The Social Revolu- tionists. as protest against the viz orous measures of the Government tried to organize a huge hostile de- monstratfop against Premier CIemen- ceau this afternoon at the unveilin9 of the monument erected to Charles Thomas Floquet, former Prime Minis ter of France.
 President Fallieres. ex President Lou bet and many offcials Senators and Deputies were present. to- gether with the members of the various union organiza- lions. At the first sign of unruly man. ffestations a large force of police, which had been placed on duty, took immediate steps to suppress the de- monstrants. a number of whom were arrested.
 In A long address NJ. CIemenceau reviewed the administration of the Republic for the past forty years with the leadership of such men as Floquet. He declared that no other Government in the same length of time had accom- plished so much. Those who denied the existence of a Government of lib- erty in France today, he said. were "irst, the reactionaries who desired the return Of a Government of op pression, second. the church, which only understood liberty as an exclus i've privilege; third, the revolutionists who charged that their liberty was be- ing invaded when the Government was only protecting its own people

ROOSEVELT LAUDED
GERMAN JOURNAL PAYS TRIBUTE.
Says That America and Germany Have Been Drawn Together During
 His Administra-

Berlin. March 7.-The North German Gazette. in its weekly political review. after paying former President Roose- welt a glowing tribute as one of the greatest statesmen the United States ever produced. says:
 From the German standpoint the development which German American relations made under President Roose- welt will ever be remembered with sat- isfaction. The tradition of friendship which has always marked the relations of the two countries acquired new SC. curity during the past seven years.
 Both here and in America the con- viction has grown more and more uni- versal that the two powers nowhere have kept apart through diversities of political interests. but that they have been impelled by weighty considera. tions to cultivate that friendly rela- tionship in the interest of themselves as well as the upward lift of the civ. ilization of all peoples"

KREUTZNER IN JAIL
ug CHANGED WITH MURDER OF
 \ JAMES GRIFFIN.
Althsugh Eye-witsesses Say kreuts- ner Shot in self-Defense, No Cun Was Fouad on
 Dead Man.

Henry Kreutxner. the young white man who shot and killed James Grif- nn of Centerville. early Sunday morn tng. was taken from the police par racks later yesterday to the county jail. . warrant having been sworn out arainst the prisoner charging him with murder.
 Policemen Cantey and Paul arrested Kreutxner near the corner of Decatur and Randolph Streets as he was max ing his way from the scene Of the Killing. The officers ran into him oy chance and having already called the patrol wagon for another prisoner, the man was taken straight in to the sta ton. the onicers not having time to look for witnesses. It was at hrst thought there were no witnesses. but upon investigation. three were rouno who had seen the shooting. They are T. D. Field, . travelling man; V. E. Johnson. and James F. Bostwick. These were questioned by the authorities. and gay the prisoner shot in self-defense The account they give of the array Is practically as follows: Grimm nad been drinking and was very much un- der the influence of intoxicants. He asked Kreutzner to drink with nlm' and the invitation was refused. kreutz- ner saying he did not drink. Grimm insisted. following the other man about occasionally ceasing his request when his attention was diverted. At last. the witnesses say, Kreutzner walked away, the men were on the street, ana Grimm followed. became angry at the repeated refusal. and told kreutzner he, Grimm, would kill him If he did not accept the drink.
 The whiskey being again refused. Grimm ran around in front of kreutz- ner and blocked his way. proffering the . o,rtA ho ho6 haan fnGnIted by the other not drinking with him. and that If he did not take the drink he would shoot; that he knew both were armed. but since he had only one life to lose, he had just as soon die with Kreutzner and both go to hell to- Eether.
 The witnesses say Kreutzner again refused. and told Griffin to let nm alone. Grimm. they say. then put his hand in his pocket and said he would shoot if the drink was not taken. Kreutzner also put his hand fh his pocket and warned the man back. but still threatening. Grimm came closer to him. and then suddenly sprang at Krtutzner. who drew a pistol and fired. Grimm falling. mortally wounded. No weapon was found on Grifhn.
 Grimm was brought Is soon after the ofiicers sent Kreutzner to the station. Cantey 'phoning to the station to have d physician to meet him there. When the injured man was brought in. he was examined by a doctor. who pro- nopnced the wound mortal. but did what he could to relieve the pain Grif- m was evidently suffering. although he did not speak. After few moments in the station house. Grimm expired.
 Grinln's father. Young Grimm of Gen. teryflle, was notined of his sons death and reached the city Sunday night He employed counsel to prosecute the case and made arrangements for send ing the body to Centerville for inter- ment.

THE FRENCH TARIFF.
Debate on Proposed Revision Will
 Opeu This Week.

Debate on Proposed Revision Will
 Open This Week.
 Paris. March 7.-The debate on the proposed general revision of the tar ir of 1892. which has aroused a storm of opposition at home and abroad. will open in the Senate this week and promises to be bitter and protracted.
 The tariff of 1892 was framed pri- mariiy in the interest of French ag- riculturalists and having brought them prosperity and turned g defcit in agricultural products into surplus. the manufacturers are now claiming their share.
 Foreign opposition to the revision was accompanied In some cases by un- yelled threats of retaliation. The United States through the embassy here, made formal represents tions against the proposed increases in the duty on cotton. corn and oils. England and other countries strongly opposed other schedules. The Frecn govern ment. realizing the danger of tariff wars. formally refused to accept the schedules.
 The French chambers of commerce. in fear of the effect on foreign com merce. supported the government In opposing the scheme arranged by the commission and the political economy societies have been campaigning against 1t fin the interest of the gem eral consumer. who is crying out against the continued increase in inc cost of living.

PEACE MAY RESULT
AUSTRIA AND sERvIA MAY BECOME
 RECONCILED.
Russia Will Keep Hands On Because of Condition of Politics Within
 Its own BOr-

Berlin, March 7.-Since the Austria Hungarian Government has named March 3I, as the limit within which 1t expects Servia's reply. following the interview which Count Fargach. the Austrian Minister at Belgrade, had with the Servian administration yes terday, 1t Is believed here that no striking development Is likely in the Balkan situation until that period draws to an end.
 Count Fargach. in addition to notify ing Servia that his Government was not in a position to submit a renewal of the commercial treaty between the two countries for parliamentary nego- tiations, also informed the ServiaD Government that Austria cherished the confident hope that Servia would notify his Government that she had decided to change her policy with re- gard to Bosnia and Herzegovina. and that 1t was her intention to maintain peaceful relations with Austria Hun- gary.
 The German Foreign Oface consid- CTS a peaceful settlement between Aus tria and Servia. acting alone. as prob able. Austria's note with regard 10 this matter is described semi officially as conciliatory and not in the nature of an ultimatum.
 It appears to be the conviction that Russia is not in a position to hazard a war In behalf of Servia as her inter nal political sitlation is such that no guard regiments could be sentt from the cape, nor could any other garri- sons be reduced much below their pres ent strength. It Is thought. too. that should Russia become involved in war. Russian Poland would be likely to rise in insurrection.
 This would mean vast expenditures the result of which might be national bankruptcy. France also would be willong to give her consent to Russia making war for the reason that many millions of French capital are invested in Russia.

Wise Burton Avenue Dog Uses .
 Street Cars in Daily Trips to Town

"Reddy" Is a cocker spaniel. which beast is a dog. whose build and habits are known, mostly. to dog fanciers, the term having a hazy atmosphere about 1t to ordinary mortals. But for all that 'Reddy" has unlimited brains and a good master, George McGregor. who lives at 25 Burton Avenue.
 Reddy has gained much advancement and distinction by being able to tell one street car from another, not by the route the car takes, or the name of the line to which 1t belongs. but by the size of the car and the smell of the shtns of the conductors and mo- tormen.
 "Reddy's" master contracted a habit of going to work. a habit he has had ever since he left school and he works in a railroad office on Commerce Street. Reddy is a lazy dog and does not like to get up early and journey down to town. so waits until breakfast has been
