Mobile. Jan. 21-(Special) )--while trying to arrest Richard Robinson, negro contract iaborer here at il o'clock today, Deputy Sheriff Philip Patch, one of the bravest officers in the South. who has figured in many battles with desperate characters and Deputy Sheriff William McCarron were both wounded. Patch was shot in the stomach and may die. McCarron's wound is a slight one.
 The negro Robinson was shot three times and is thought to be seriously. wounded Robinson was wanted on the charge of assault and battery and began firing as the officers who ap. preached him unarmed. Patch was shot down but managed to get his pis- tol and fire at the blood-thirsty black five times before he fell in the street.
 Robinson was at work on a new house on Lawrence between Eslava and Canal streets. when approached by the officers.
 Yesterday Robinson had a difficulty with two plumbers at work on the building with him on Lawrence Street and the two plumbers. J. M. and c. E.. Norris today swore out warrants against the negro. one charging as- sau1t and battery, while the other charged abusive language.
 Armed with the warrants. Deputies Patch and McCarron. two old and fear less officers. started for the house, where they were told that Robinson was at work as a carpenter Just be- fore they reached the house the two deputies noticed negro woman across the street from the house where Robin son was at work. pointing to the depu- ties. Deputy McCarron states that Patch remarked at that. time That negro woman is pointing us out to him now."

 As they reached the place. the negro appeared at the door and with the re- mark. What in the hell do you want" pulled a pistol from his bosom and started shooting. The first bullet -. t-strf '5st. 'f A. -t->-- -s>

JAPANESE LEGIsLATIoN.
Uneasy About CsIiforn,,

Situation.
 Washington, Jan, 2i-The Jananeaa legisiation question in California was discussed at conferences today be- tween President Roosevelt ani Sena- tors Flint and Fulton and others.
 The President urged the necessity of the-' California Congressional deiega- tioh using their influence as fully as possible against legislation that may be resented by Japan.
 This was diplomatic day at the state department and among Secretary Roots callers was Ambassador Taka- hira, of Japan. He declared his call was personal one in anticipation of the secretary's forthcoming retirement from the cabinet. @-
 The President talked cautiously with his Congressional visitors today. He went so far as to say he thought noth- ing pending in Congress nor any of the dffereffceg betweeff hitneeh and SS tSs jaBs \ ssSs seSiifbfais % auesticn.
 Although talking with great delib- eration aH1 care, the President still recognizes .tbe existence of deep. founded anta8onistie sentiment to the Japanese in California and the wisdom of placatin that sentiment so as to end the agitation with as little delay as possible. Because of the almost unanimous sentiment in the State the President realizes the responsibility placed upon Governor Gillette in using his fnfueiice upon the Legislature to stop legislatio4 at this Session and wahts to do all he can to share some of that responsibility.

SUES INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Widow of Joshua Burdett Wan
 Amount of Policies.

| Widow of Joshua BuFdett Wants Amount of Policies.
 Muskogee. okla, Jan. 21.-Mrs. Su- sic M Burdette, widow of the late Joshua Burdette, a wealthy pioneer merchant of Creek County. who was l the victim of a mysterious assassina- tion at Eufanla, Okla. in 1906. filed suit in the United States Circuit Court here today for the recovery of s5O0,000 insurance upon Burdettes life.
 The Pennsylvania Life Insurance Company Of Philadelphia, the American National insurance Company of Calves ton, Tex. the Prevalent Savings Life Assurance Society of New York. the Mutual Life of New York and the Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York are defendants.
 The death Of Burdette created a sensation. His body was found on a well curb at his farm. Nearby on the ground was the revolver with which he had been killed. For time 1t was believed Burdette had committed sui eide. but thorough investigation of his affairs revealed no cause for sui eide and the assassination theory was officially adopted.
 The insurance companies fought the claim for some time on the grounds of suicide. They now claim that in ap- plying for policies, Burdette made false statements to the examiners.
 Judge Ralph Campbell set the case for trial Feb. 8.

titude. Great Britain, it Is stated, which, with her great maritime inter- ests, has the most at stake. has been concilfatory as becomes the power con vening the conference, but America, whose views coincided in the begin ming with. those of Great Britain, has been unwilling to go as far as has England. The foreign delegates put this unwillingness down to failure to understand the continental point of view and to lack ofl definite instruc- tions.
 The regular plenary session of the conference which was Ilxed for tomor- row. was cancelled late tonight.
 There will be meetings of various committees. however, and the hope Is expressed that the delegates will have sufficient authority to make it possible for the conference to continue
 The American delegates, adhering to the, arrangement for secrecy in the proceedings oe the conference. have mot discussed either their own or the jother delegates attitude.
 From other sources 1t has been learned that while 1t Is true that the Americans are holding to their views, the same can be said of some of the continental powers, who have not re- esded from the stand they have taken from the start.

 These forces threatened to take part In the dispute which has been waged between employees of the printing offiee for 6 number of years to the great an- noyance of the public printer.
 Members of the Senate Committee have determined to take cognlzance of the operations of these cllques and have decided to again report the Don nelly. nomination to the Senate with A recommendation that it be confirmed.
