New Orleans. March 2s.-The steam pany line was slowly coming into port tonight after having been in two col lisions last night off the mouth of the Mississippi One collision resulted In sending the coastwise steamer Theo- dore Weems to the bottom and the other in seriously damaging the Brit ish steamer Parisian. No passenger Of the Heredia was injured and the pas senger vessel was bringing the crew of the ,Weems to New Orleans tonight
 The Heredia attempted to go out of Southwest Pass at about sundown last night in a heavy fog. At almost the end of the jetties she struck. almost amidship, the Parisian. which had been aground since Thursday. Neither the Parisian nor the Heredia seemed at the time to be badly damaged and the Heredia within a short time continued on her trip to Panama. mile and a half further on lay the sulphite-laden Weems from Tapma. anchored. because of the heavy fog. The Heredia, ao- oording to wireless reports received here today, struck the smaller steam CT amidship within half an hour aft CT her collision with the Parisan.
 The Weems was vitally hurt and ifn- mediately the crew took to the He- redia, whose brow protruded into the side of the stricken vessel When ev- cry member of the crew of 16 had been safely landed on the Heredia the lat ter pulled away and within a few miik utes the Wecms sank.
 The Parlsian originally was Ger man boat named Bethania but was cap | tured by the British early in the war and was sent to New orleans to trans | port mules to Calcutta. The ship car 1 ried 1120 mules but none of the anI- malls was injured and the crew re- mained aboard while divers tried to re- pair the ship. 1t was reported today that the Parisian was damaged below the water line and that 1t was probable the vessel would be brought to Nov Orleans for repairs before starting on her long voyage. It is reported that water had got into the engine rooms. The vessel, however, seems to be in no immediate danger and divers work ing on her today expect to soon put her into condition for more extensive repairs.
 The 56 passengers including Maj. Gen Leonard Wood. U. s. A. and his aide Maj. Bennett Gordan, are ex- pected to proceed to Central America on the Abangarese sailing Monday.

The Medical Association In- d0rsed Bill Providing for
 Examination

While the medical profession of Jef- ferson county is not altogether pleased st the result of the meeting of the medical association of the state of Alabama, which was concluded yester- day, the opticians of this and other counties of Alabama are apparently de- lighted.
 The convention by practically unan- imoGs vote yesterday indorsed a bill now pending before the legislature rroviding that all men engaged in the business of fitting eye glasses must ap- pear before state board and be eX- of the association. recommended the indorsement of this bill. but the board of censors reported that recommenda- ton adversely. Local physicians pro tested against that adverse report and won handsome victory when pract eally all other delegates followed in their votes the local lead.
 Dr. J. H. Finder of Birmingham stated last night that such a law as is contemplated in the bill under dis oussion obtains at present in S5 states of the union and opticians are anxlous that similar laws be adopted in all other states.
 We are delighted,' he added. ".n that the association indorsed the bill HOW pending before the legislature and with that indorsement there is very good reason to believe that the bill will be enacted into law"

 Distance Relay Race

Philadelphia, April 2s.-Howard Ber- " of the University of Pennsylvania today carried off the pentathlon. one of the principal events in the open ing days carnival of Pennsylvania s relay races and field sports. The pen tath1on, comprising the broad jump, javelin and discus throws. and the 200 and 1500-meter races. was on the programme for the first time in 2l years that Pennsylvania has held the carnival and it is expected to repre- sent the all around college athletic championship of the United States.
 Yale carried off the distance medley relay race for the American college champlonship, beating out Chicago, while Pennsylvania easily won the American title in the sprint medley race from Chicago. the only other en- trant
 There were six contestants in the pentaehlon and the result was not de- cided until the last event, the I5OO- meter race. Worthington of Dartmouth finished second. McMasters of the Uni- yersity of Pittsburg third, Lamb or
 
 Creighton of Pennsylvania fifth
 Berry captured the javelin throw and the 1500-meter race and was second in the discus throw and 200-meter event. He finished third in the broad jump. Worthington was first in the broad jump and 200-meter race; sec cnd in the 1500-meter iun, and fifth and sixth. respectively, in the discus and javelin throws. McMasters got one second, three thirds and a fifth. while Lamb finished first in the discus and second in the javelin throw.
 In the distance medley race there were five starters, Yale, Chicago Penn sylvania. Lehigh and Princeton, and they finished in the order named.
 There was some disappointment vhen only Chicago and Pennsylvania toed the mark in the sprint medley. the other universities saving their run hers for tomorrows championships Chicago led at the end of the first two relays, then Lippincott and Meredith, Olympic champions, in turn took up the running for Pennsylvania and they made a runaway race of it.

RICK WOODWARD IS BACK FROM THEE Announcements Expected as to Additions to Com
 pany Plants

With the return from the east of A. Ii. Woodward and R. H. Bannister, the newly elected chairman and the latter company, announcements of additions to the Woodward properties are expected At the recent meeting in New York it. was stated that no appropriations were authorized for new construction. How ever, it is understood that the appropria- tions may be made at any time and no special meeting is necessary for the au- thorizaton of expenditures.
 The Woodward Iron company has long contemplated extensions which will enable it to consume some of it's iron and it is the firm conviction of local industrial men that the officers will not delay a great while longer in following a pro- sramme to consume some of it's raw ma terials. At this time the company sells only iron. It has at this time the most valuable ore holdings in this district and second to the most valuable coal hold ings.
 With sufficient number of iron mak- CTS already operating, and with by-prod- uct coke ovens in operation as well as immense coal and ore deposits 1t is ob- V1OuS that the company VIII make rur- ther extensions. These rumors have been current about three years. However, the acquisition by the Woodward company of tha Birmingham Coal and Iron com pany was, it is believed, for the purpose of securing coal lands, which would en- able the company to be in a protected position when the time comes for the plant to make finished products. It is stated that the company will not erect a steel rail plant. However, the chances are that some plant will be constructed for the manufacture of finished iron products.

 to Sit on Lid Tight

Chicago, April 23.--EmphntIc state ments that no peace negotiations were going on were made today by both President Gilmore of the Federal league and President Johnson of the American, hut no explanation for the gathering here of the big men of base hall was vouchssfed. Among leaders expected here tomorrow is President Federal magnates who, according to information gained from sources close to them, will meet to talk over the ending of the war, are William E. Rob ertson of Buffalo and Robert B. Ward of Brooklyn. while Phillip Ball of St. Louis and his attorney, Montague Lyons, admitted they had been in con ference with President Johnson yes- tcrday and today.
 Johnson declared his meeting with Ball the third in three weeks-had nothing to do with baseball peace.
 "I know of no peace negotiations D Johnson said. T have met MT. Ball a number of times recently, but we have not discussed any such subject"
 There are no peace negotiations pend ing that I know off Gilmore said. We are willing at any time to accept peace on terms fair to everybody concerned, but we are not seeking it. We are will ing to go on as we are going. and we expect to get our share of the patron age"
 No definite statements were given out concerning matters discussed at meetings today.
 Stories concerning peace terms dis cussed which were credited to Federal league sources say they include many of the arrangements which were planned when peace was first talked of last fall Merger of several teams and elimination of one club in -gt. Louis and one in Chicago, and perhaps abandonment of the field as a separate organization by the Federals are included, it is said.
