WILL NOT SEEK
SENATOR'S TOGA
CRUMP MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
TO THIS EFFECT TO HIS
CLOSEST FRIENDS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov 25.-May.
or E. H. Crump is outside the ranks
of the probable candidates for Unit
ed States senator. He announced to-
night through some of his closest
friends that he would give his whole
influence and attention during the
legislature to the advancement OF
Shelby county and the state OF Ten
nessee with no consideration for po-
litical Chonors for himself.
There is no doubt that the. an
nouncement will come as relief to
the aspirants who have not failed to
observe the latent possibilities which
the mayor has stored in the eleven
votes of this county in the legisla-
ture.
Since the visit of Rice A. Pierce,
the campaign manager of Benton
McMillin, late democratic nominee
for governor Hilary Howse, mayor of
Nashville, and representatives from
Hamilton county, reports have been
rife that the mayor might have any
thing he desired from the legislature.
1t is known that outside delegations
have urged him to make the race, and
that the regular democrats of the
next Legislature have virtually offered
him the honor.
His announcement comes also as
a disappointment to some of his clos
est friends and advisers whom 1t is
the mayors suction to consult on all
questions Of policy. Almost unani-
mously urged him to enter the race.
He has needed neither the advice nor
the appeals Of some of the most as
tute, but on the other hand volunta-
rily eliminates himself from the list
Of possibilities.

What is believed to forecast the end
of the great coal strike in the Kama
waha coal fields of West Virginia was
announced today in signed wage
agreement between tn union miners
and the officials of the National Btu

union, provides for an increase of
about twenty-one per cent in wages,
reduces tonnage, permits the miners
to organize, provides for nine hour
work day and gives the men now on
strike preference If they should de-
sire to return to work.
The miners are jubilant tonight
over the agreement, which will affect
upwards of six thousand union min
ers now on strike. With these men
returned to work the end of he
strike. 1t Is said, is in sight.
Whether the other coal operators
in the Paint Cabin district will fol-
low the lead Of the National Bitumi-
nous Coal & Coke Company is not
known tonight, but the miners believe
they will take similar action.

day except for the arrest of a girl
charged with throwing stones anil the
capture of Samuel Russell, alleged to
have been one Of the persons who

IN AN ENCOUNTER WITH REEFS
LEE AT MEMPHIS,

: MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 27.--Gil-
bert d. Raine, editor and publisher
of the News 2cimitar, was the VIC
tim of an attack late this afternoon
at the hands of Rees Lee, superin-
tendent of the Lee Line steamers.
AS he was entering his Office at Third
street and Madison avenue. Mr..
Raine was attacked from the rear,
some witnesses charge, while he was
unaware that Lee was approaching
him. One witness, an Office boy, al
leges Lee pulled a blunt instrument
from his pocket before he struck Mr..
Raine.
The first blow was delivered Just
behind the right ear and Mr. Raine
fell down the steps as the result. He
recovered his feet Immediately, how
ever, and pursued his assailant who
had turned and run. Raine caught
up with him in front of garage,
about 100 feet east of the Scimitar
building. At this point Lee turned
and faced his pursuer. A moment
later the two men clashed Mr..
Raine was struck several times and
fell to the sidewalk. As the crowd
began to gather Lee fled. A police
man who appeared several minutes
later, was unable to locate him.
The attack was the outgrowth of a
controversy between the two men
late Monday evening, when Mr.. Rafne

claims that Lee stopped him on Mad

corning the support he gave Col
Roosevelt during the recent election
Mr.. Raine resented the remark and
words were passed, but the men were
prevented from coming to blows by
the Intervention Of friends.
Mr.. Raine was cut and bruised
about both sides of the head and face
in today's encounter, but his injuries
are not considered serious.
