Lawyers—Carmack's Friends Assist
Ing in Effort to Avenge His Death,
While Three Defendants Have
Many Attorneys.
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 20.—Probably
never before in the history of Nash
ville has there been seen so brilliant
•n array of men of law or so crowded
a courtroom as witnessed the calling
today for trial of Duncan B. Cooper,
Robin Cooper and Joh« D. Sharp for
the shooting in November last of for
mer Senator Edward Ward Carmack.
The case was called in the county
courthouse before Judge William M.
Hart.
The prominence of the men in
volved in the case has spread its
ramifications into the state capitol
and the United States senate. It lias
kept the entire state of Tennessee on
edge since fiery, impetuous, unfortu
nate Carmack fell on the street be
fore the pistol of young Robin Cooper,
a victim to his unfortunate propensity
for holding up to public scorn bis po
litical opponents.
Prominent Men in the Case.
Among the men who will testify to
the circumstances that led to th«
tragedy will in all likelihood be Gov
ernor Patterson of Tennessee, Sen
ator James B. Frazier and others con
spicuous in the public life of the state.

tent on assisting the prosecution in
avenging his death. A prominent fig
ure among these men today is Guston
T. Fitzhugh of Memphis, a leading
lawyer, who is serving as a volunteer
counsel for the prosecution under
Prosecutor Jeff McCurn. On the othrr
hand, the Coopers, father and son,
have the backing of political and per
sonal friendship among the members
of the Tennessee bar and John D.
Sharp, co-defendant in the case, who
was formerly sheriff of Davidson
county, in which Nashville is situated,
commands the services of able attor
neys.
It la the universal prediction here
that a legal battle such as has not
been seen in Tennessee in many years
will follow the opening of the case In
court today. The principal attorneys
for the defense are J. M. Anderson,
General W. H. Washington, Jam«S K.
Bradford and M. H. Meeka.

Union City, Tenn., Jan. 20.—Tte

AWAITS ROOTS APPROVAL
As at Present Drawn Document Pro
viden for Arbitration of Matters in
Dispute After a Stipulated Time,
Failing Previous Agreement by In
dividual Claimants and the Venezu
dan Government.
Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 20.—A
protocol for the settlement of the
disputes between the United States
and Venezuela has been practically
agreed upon by W. I. Buchanan, the
special commissioner of the United
States, who came to Caracas several
weeks ago for the purpose of settling
the difficulties of the two govern
ments, and the Gomez administration.
The protocol in its present form
provides for arbitration after a stipu
lated time, failing previous agreement
by the individual claimants and the
Venezuelan government.
The final form of the protocol is
awaiting the consent of Secretary oi
State Root to certain modifications in
the claim of the N'ew York and Ber
mudez Asphalt company.
Rudolf Dolge, the local representa
tive of the Orinoco corporation, one
of the claimants, has cabled the com
pany to send to Caracas an attorney
to aid him in a settlement.
It is probable that President Gomez
will give a banquet at the Miraflor
palace in honor of Mr. Buchanan after
the signing of the protocol.
The settlement of the matters in
controversy between the United
States and Venezuela is the first
striking development in Venezuela's
relations with foreign powers to fol
low the downfall of Cipriano Castro
and the installation of Juan Vicente
Gomez as president of the republic.
