London. Jan 15.-Andrew Bonar Law.

hibited the worst phase of the Ulster i'm
broglio yet seen. All sides had hoped
that negotiations between Premier AS

amicable solution.
Consequently, politicians were staggered
tonight when Law declared negotiations
had broken down. He added:
We are drifting inevitably, II nothing
is done to stem the current. to civil war
This is the first time such u statement
has been made by a politician of the
responsible position OF Law, and, coupled
with his official promise to give help TO
Ulster. commits the Tory party TO a
policy or resistance.
At the same time he was careful TO
add that the government really and
earnestly desired u peaceful solution and

meets, that a fresh attempt at compro-
mise will be made the government. in the
meantime endeavoring to obtain a reduc-
ton OF the hitherto irreducible minimum

REOPEN FIGHT ON
 COTTON FUTURES
SENATOR KENYON MOVES RECON. slDERATloN AFTER MEASURE
 HAS PASSED.
Misunderstanding as to Amendment Leealizins Pooling Was Cause of This Action.

Washington, March 27.--After the senate today had passed bill to reg ulate cotton futures trading, Senator Kenyon, who with others had misun- derstood an amendment to legalize pooling operations, moved for a re- consideration and paved the way for reopening the fight on the measure tomorrow. The amendment would an- null the supreme court decision in the Patten case that pooling, with an agreement not to sell on an exchange violates the Sherman law.
 The bill as passed would provide that no person connected with an ex- change shall send through the mails matter promoting enforcement of a future delivery contract unless the exchange requires all such transac- tions to comply with certain condi- tions, among them t4at contracts must provide for delivery within de- pP- P-S~nent of agriculture standards.
 The pooling amendment introduced by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, was advocated by him to prevent such prosecutions as that of Patten and associates, indicted by the federal govanment on charges of pooling cot ton in 1910, with the purpose of with holding it from the market until they had reaped profits of some S10000,000 Senator Smith declared these men should have been regarded as bene- factors not as criminals
 The passage of the bill ends fight led by Senator Smith of South Caro- lima for legislation against practices on cotton exchanges derouhced as injurious to the cotton industry. Sen ators Smith of Georgia and Ransdell of Louisiana also introduced bills. The three senators today, after a two on a compromise measure and t pass ed without roll call.
 Among the conditions the measure would be to require exchanges to inn pose on future transactions is one providing that if the cotton sold is of the middling or basic grade and the delivery is of other graces, then the commeroiad difference in value between the grade delivered and the grade sold must be paid
 At present the New York cotton ex. change has in force a fixed difference in value of the grades. An attempt was made to require the delivery of the grade specified in the contract but Senator Ransdell deno1lced this amendment as unduly restricting speculation and unjust to the New or. | leans cotton exchange
 The bill provides that no one ehall use mail or telegraph lines to send out cotton exchange qoutatio1v' un' less the exchange adopts the specified contracts. The sending of such mat teY through the mails is made mis- deneanor. punishable by fine not to exceed 5000, or by one years im- prisonment

CONSIDERING TRUST

REGULATION OF HOLDING COM. PANtES NOW THE ONLY POMT

Washington, March 27.-Trust legis- latioa was considered again today by the senate committee on interstate commerce and 1t was announced later that regulations of holding companies was the only feature upon which agreement had not been reached. Sen ators Robinson of Arkansas and Cum mins of Iowa were named as a sub committee to draft section of the antitrust bill relating to this phase of big business.
 Practical agreement has been reach ed on the form of the single anti trust measure in the senate and on Iihe main provisions of sections to create al interstate trade commission and to prohibit interlocking directo- rates of competing concerns.
 It Is not likely, administration sen ators said today. that the completed bill will be ready for submission to the senate for two weeks, but the plan is to have tho biii ready for con- 'Nsscfation soon after the Panama re- peal bill is disposed of in the senate,

 Jimmie Minor of Memphis and Jack Archer of the same city, met in a six round preliminary. It was a classy exhibition of scientific sparring and draw was a good verdict.
 Bobby Sangster of this dity, who has won all his previous bouts in three rounds or less, met an unknown named "Hasty" Miller of the Army and Navy Hospital. This lad has re- gently come from the Philippines and he lost no time in sailing into the To- cal carpenter. He had all the better of the first round, at the close of when Sangster claimed that he had broken his right thumb and quit Mill Ter would have won this bout, iudg- ing by his showing, in less than the six rounds.
 Battling Murphy of Cleveland put Ipb ,,;I .r in tse fourth round. Anwheiler was willing enough but Murphy was too much for him.
 Battling Minor of Memphis and Joe Motto of Cleveland met for the third time in a six round windup and like their previous bouts this one was of a whirlwind nature. No decision was rendered, but a draw would have been satisfactory

RECEIVERS NAMED
 FUR GAS COMP PANY
KANSAS AND PHILADELPHIA CON GERMS ARE THROWN INTO
 LIQUIDATION.

Independence, Kan, March 27.-On application of John s. Dawson, attor- hey general of Kansas, receivers were named for the Wyandotte County Gas Co of Kansas and for the United Gas Improvement Co. or Philadelphia The application for receiver was an out growth of the failure of the state re- ceivers of the Kansas Natural Gas Co. to obtain a federal court order turning over to them the properties of the company.
 w. T. Breidenthal, Kansas City, Kan, banker, was named receiver for the Wyandotte company and John Overfeld, receiver for the Kansas City Pipe Line Co.,, was named receiv- CT for the United Gas Improvement Co.'S property in Kansas. The Unit ed Gas Improvement Co., is the owner of the Wyandotte County Gas Co.,
 The attorney general in his peti- ton asked judgment against the Unit ed Company in the amount of $300,- 900 for alleged violation of the Kan sas antitrust laws.
 The allegations in the petition of the attorney general charge that the United Gas Improvement Co. agreed to create several corporations in fur therance of an alleged design to vio- late the antitrust laws.
 As a result of this alleged agree ment 1t is charged that the Kansas City Gas Co, the Wyandotte Gas Co. and the Kansas City Pipe Line Co. were organized and chartered. A part of the plan, it is alleged, was to bur. den the Kansas Natural Gas Co. with tremendous charges, thusf furnishing an excuse for increases in rates for natural gas.
