Nashville, Tenn., Fc'j. 5. —The low
cr house of the general assembly to
day passed the anti-racing bill, which
has caused so much discussion recent

the passage of the bill but It went
through by a safe majority.
REFEREE’S COURT
THIS MORNING
An Interesting Point of Law to be
Determined in That Tribunal
Here Today.
U. S. Referee Max Isaac will hold
i rather important session of the
bankrupt court this morning at 10
-o’clock which \vill bring a number of
rat of town lawyers and parties to the
city
The case to he heard is a petition
.on the part of C. VV. Deen, of Way
cross and Baxley, to be relieved from
the adjudication of bankruptcy which
was passed upon the firm of McLaugh
lin, Deen & Cos., some ten or fifteen
days since.
Mr. Been is a member of the firm
declared to be bankrupt, but. he de
clares that one of the other members
of the firm sought bankruptcy with
out his consent or knowledge and he
Is perfectly solvent and is In a position
to pay any indebtedness of the firm
and therefore seeks so vacate the
judgment of the cotnl that practically
declares him a bankrupt.
Mr. Deen is repu rilled by Mess,
Bennett an i i.amhkhi, ot
Wayt-ross and .i ni, . J U, Thomas,
iSt Baxley, w uile the moving creditors
ot the linn are represented by a num
ber of out-of-town attorneys and Bon
net & Conyers, of tills city.
Another feature ot the case is that
Mess. Dean and McLauglin, both mem
bers of tile firm prior to the bankrupt
proceedings, went into the state courts
at Baxley and asked Judge Parker
io appoint a receiver for the busi
ness as it. was insolvent 'because of
the careless management of the ac
tive manager of the business, John
Ellis, Jr. Then it wa| that Mr. Bills
went Into the bankruptcy court and
on his own nation
In the fightmoday both Deen and
McLaughlin arc seeking to have the
bankruptcy order or judgment vaca
ted.
Ahere arc some rather fine points
of law involved and the case will he
watched with interest.

STRIKE SITUATION
REMAINS WITHOUT

Perfect Quid Obtains All

NOT A SINGLE DEVELOPMENT
Strong Effort is Being Made to Pre
vent a Congestion of the Lumber
**
Yards—Lumbermen snd
Union Both Met.
Except for the fact that things along
tile river front are rather quiet, no
one would ever know that the strike
existed among the Longshoremen
in Brunswick.
There weiJ no developments what
ever in tlur situation yesterday and
while meetings were held by the ship
pers and the union nothing was given
oufe. in fact, it is ilnderstiood on
pretty good authority that nothing
bearing on the strike was transacted
by the meetings.
The shippers are rapidly securing
men to work on the wharves and yes
terday several of them had small
forces and it is understood that, these
v\ ill be greatly added to today.
Every possible effort is being mad
to prevent a probable congestion ot
the yardnf of the railroads in the
city and so far the shippers, although
they have had few men al work, have
succeeded in keeping their tracks
clear, Many outstanding orders fo:
lumber and ties have been held up
for a few days, pending further de
velopments, and a crowded condition
ir. the yards is not anticipated.
As far as good order is concerned
there lias not been the least distur
bance in the city since the strike was
inaugurated Monday morning.

.DEFENDANT W tISPLLASEB
The Young Millionaire Had Not Been
Told That th e Physician Was
to Testify and Asked Why he
Had Been Called.
New York, Feb. Si-y Tho defense
n tlie Thaw trial opeJtd this morn
ng and witnesses forltlie defendant
veie Kept on the star* during the
atire day. Owing to tn%rigid cross
xamination by tlie attor
teys, only one or two witnesses were
ixamined.
Family Physician Testifies.
The first and most import-apt wit
less introduced during the day was
Jr. C. C. Miley, a Pittsburg alienist,
• iid the Thaw family physician. Dr.
.Viley, who has a reputation as an al
enist, was placed on the stand to es
ablish the fact that Thaw was in
ane when he shot White. This
seems to bo the. line of defense all
he way through the case and it is
jn hereditary insanity that Thaw’s at
orueys expect to clear him.
Dr. Wiley testified, that it was his
Sionest belief belief that Thaw was in
lane, not only when he shot White
iut at different, times he has shown
ices of insanity.' He told of many
strange acta'ot SLaw in .the past few
cars which went, to show that he was
lot n man of sound min I.
Dr. Wiley was closely examined by
he prosecuting attorney and he wealc
med considerably. He was not sure
hat he would be willing to swear
hat Shaw was insane but, to the best
if his belief, the man was not of
sound mind.
Thaw Disaf pointed.
Thaw was very much disappointed
with the testimony of Dr. Wiley. When
he witness’ name was called Thaw
said '1 wonder why they have sum
uoti'd him; lie knows nothing about
his case at all.” After the witness
tad finished testifying Thaw seemed
greatly disappointed and expressed bis
iisapproval to hi3 attorneys in put
:ing him on tlio stand. However, it
is thought that the testimony of Dr.
Wiley will have no material weight
an the case one way or another.
One or two other witnesses were
ntrodueed by the defense during the
lay ibut no testimony of great im
portance was brought out.
