Fairbanks, roti prominent figure In tlie inauguration Judge Hart Has Hard Problem to Solve in (By Leased Wire to The Times) Criminal Court ..Room, Nashville, Tenn., March 1 A hard nut to crack was presented to .ludso Hart, this morning in the Cooper-Sharp case, at least it looked as though the judge would have to stop proceedings awhile to investigate regarding his authority to make a certain order. A relenting disposition on the part of counsel for the state finally averted the embarrassing situation." Dr. McPheeters Glasgow, a well known Nashville physician, had been employed by the state to exhume the body of Senator Cannack at Colum bia for an autopsy to ascertain the course of the bullets in his body. The defense learned of this fact and they, too, subpoenaed Dr. Glasgow. The latter refused, to toll attorneys for the defense what he knew with out 'permission from the stale.' The defense' appealed to Judge Hart to COOK'S SPEECH STAYS IN RECORD (By Leaded Wire to The Times.) Washington, March' 1. The special committee appointed by Speaker Can non last Friday, consisting of Repre sentatives Mann, Perkins, Foster and Clayton, to examine' the speech of Rep- "tlw Cook in which he violently 'attacked the president lust week in the house, reported today that under the rules there is nothing In the speech whereby It should be stricken from the reeotd.

Judge Hart instructed the witness It Would he "highly. proper":'' for him to talk fo the counsel lor the defense and instructed him to accompany , the attorneys to a conference. The at torneys returned in a moment and re ported that the witness did not under stand Judge Hart's orders were man datory and still refused to talk in the absence of positive orders to do so from the judge. An awkward pause ensued here. Judge Hart said the question of his authority to issue the order was a new one and he would have to look up authorities on the matter. The embarrassment was fin ally averted by the state agreeing that the witness might talk to the de fense. All this delayed the case an hour and a half and the hearing of the proof did not 'begin until 10:30 o'clock. (Continued nn Page Five.) STILL THYING TO GET FREEDOM (By. Leased Wire t" The Times.)

The Court of Honor Will, by To night, be Completed. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, March t Inauguration--, is only four days away and Washington has already assumed the appearance of a city en fete. A test was made Saturday night of the part of the electric light decorations on Pennsylvania 'avenue, and by- tonight the court of honor will bo. practically completed."- The work of finishing the arrangements for the inaugural ball went on all day yesterday, and the building where thousands will dance on Inauguration night is nearly ready for the gay throngs. The stands from which an' army of people will see the great inaugural parade on Pennsylvania avenue are practically finished and nearly every seat sold. Though thousands! visitors ar rived ia'Th'e" city 'fast . wee1fo"ereal in-rush began today, and all day a great throng . poured through the gates of the union station. A special force of 125 detectives went on duty yesterday. They will try to protect Visitors from depredations of the scores of "crooks" who have flitted into Washington for inauguration, preparing' to reap a rich harvest, and whom the police court will send to the work house, or when possible, out ; of the city on short notice. The hotels are already filled to overflowing, and those who came yes-1 terday, unless they had reserved -c-1 commodatlons in advance, had to spend hours looking for places to sleep. The influx of organizations that will participate In the big parade will commence today. The Rhode Island naval battalion, Massachusetts coast artillery, and a few civic organiza tions are expected today. From Tuesday- until next Sunday Washington will be in a turmoil. The governors of Missouri, Massa chusetts, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, with their staffs, are to arrive tomor- ow, and the remainder of the state executives, 2 1 in alh will be here by Wednesday. The formal orders for the forma tion of the parade on March 4 have been delivered to the grand marshal and are being held until March '3, when they will be given out for pub lication. The grand marshal does not wish to give out the details of the or der for publication until the time is at hand for the formation of the parade. There have been numerous discus sions and careful consideration of the Order and it is not desired that it shall be changed. From time to time people interested in the procession, thinking they have sufficient influ ence to have this or that organiza tion moved up or down the line can see the grand marshal and his assist ants to have the thing arranged.
