TURNS TRICK BATTLING DANE MAKES COR- BETT LOOK LIKE. TYRO IN FIGHTING GAME. WINS FIGHT IN NINTH ROUND CORBETT’S SECONDS THROW UP THE SPONGE TO PREVENT A KNOCKOUT, IS NOT IN IT WITH THE DANE NELSON DEMONSTRATED SU- PERIORITY IN ALL DEPART- MENTS OF GAME, San Francisco, March 1. — Battling Nelson of Chicago made Younk Cor- bett of Denver appear the’ poorest tyro at the fighting game last night when he practically knocked him out in the middle of the ninth round. In order to save their man a complete knock-out the seconds threw up the sponge. The man who twice met Terry McGovern was not in it ‘with the young Dane at any stage of the game. In the early part of the fight on several occasions he straightened Nelson up with rights and lefts on the jaw, but when it came to following up his advantage his swings were wild. He seemed to be over-anxious, while Nelson at all times was cool and confident. The seventh round, when it ap- peared as if Corbett were practically gone, he showed a flash of his old-time speed and landed several severe punches on Nelson’s ribs and jaw. . It Was Only a Spurt, however, and Young Corbett soon lapsed into his semi-groggy condition which lasted until the end of the fight. Nelson’s plan of battle was to force Corbett around the ring, keeping close to him all the time. Whenever Corbett m d aswing Nelson was there with a return which generally janded. From the fifth round on Nel- son kept Corbett on the ropes and landed at will. Corbett in some way managed to protect himself from a knockout blow until the middle of the ninth round. Then in a rally Nelson swung his right over the jaw and Cor- bett went down on his back. He re- mained down and then stood up against the ropes with bis hands low- ered, unable to protect himself. Nel- son partly toppled him over with a swing on the jaw, but before Corbett was fairly on the mat his seconds Threw Up the Sponge. The round lasted two minutes and thirty-five seconds. In the eighth round Nelson had Corbett against the yopes and the Denver man claimed a foul and lowered ,his hands. No foul was apparent and the referee did not allow it. Nelson demonstrated that he is Corbett’s superior in speed, ac- curacy of aim, ability to take punish- ment, and stiff punches. After the fight was over Corbett had very little to He had no excuses to offer. Nelson, of course, was very happy that his next effort would be to obtain a fight with Britt, who has once defeated him. The fight last night was heavily played by the bet- ting element. The odds were 10 to 8 and were easily snapped at by Cor- pett's admirers, but there was plenty of Nelson money in sight and all bets effered were taken. FARMERS FLOCK TO LEARN. institute at Mountain Lake, Minn., Is Largely Attended.

Senate Spends Many Hours on Indian | Appropriation Bill. Washington, March 1.—The senate Spent almost the entire day consider- ing items in the Indian appropriation bill which were not passed on Mon- day and extended the session into the night.for that purpose. There was quite a lengthy discussion of the com- mittee amendment prohibiting use of tribal funds in the support of sectari- an schools. The provision was modi- fied so as to allow individual members of tribes to use their proportion of funds in support of such schools, and as thus amended was agreed to. Many other features of the bill were de- bated. Another feature of the day was a speech by Mr, Kearns of Utah on the Mormon church. He charged that the church controls the politics and busi- ness of Utah. At a late hour the senate passed the Indian appropriation bill and began the consideration of the postoffice ap- propriation bill. A half-dozen bills intended to rem- edy the defects in the laws as to steam vessels which were brought to the surface by the disaster to the Gen. Slocum in New York, were passed.

As an evidence of the approaching adjournment a large number of bills were passed by unanimous consent and an evening session was held in order to discuss the general deficiency appropriation bill. ‘MISER IN FAIRY TALE DEN. Gold Found Everywhere in Home of Dead Woman. ° Aurora, Ind., Mareh 1.—After a long life of apparent penury, Mrs. Jacob Frank died yesterday and relatives and neighbors in searching her house after her death found gold and bills hidden in every conceivable nook.

The abolition of an apprentice sys- tem of employing child labor, based on a retention of a portion of wages, that in practice becomes mere legalized bondage, is aimed at by a bill intro- duced by Representative John Selb.

It proved that many voted for the Peachey amendment for the purpose of defeating the bill. The convention and the primary election systems of nomination are combined in a bill introduced in the house by Representative Ole Peter- son, which provides for the nomina- tion of county, legislative and state of- ficers, judges of the supreme court and congressmen. The object of the bill, Mr. Peterson says, is to prevent nominations by a small majority of a party, possible under the primary election law, because the number of candidates is not limited. Live stock trains must be moved by railroads at a rate of not less than ten miles an hour, according to a bill introduced in thé house by Represen- tative J. M. Hetland. Two bills providing for the care of soldiers’ wives, widows and mothers at the state soldiers’ home were in- troduced in the house by Representa- tive M. D. Flower. A bill enlarging the powers of the attorney general with reference to the prosecution of trusts, and increasing his office force by one assistant and one clerk was introduced in the sen- ate by Senator F.

G. Lennon. The Zelch-Durant bill, allowing the board of control to devote one-half of the earnings of the prison industries to enlarging the prison was killed by the house yesterday. The attack on the measure was made by the country members, who declared it was simply compelling the farmers who buy twine from the state prison to build a new prison for the criminals of the whole. state. The house passed the following bills: Appropriating $9,800 to pay for the publication of synopsis of proposed amendments to the constitution voted on in 1904; making the state treasurer custodian of securities deposited with the state by annuity safe deposit and trust companies; authorizing organ- ized townships to issue bonds for the building of roads and bridges; forbid- ding the nomination of candidates by petition before the holding of primary election. St. Paul, Feb. 25.—After refusing to reconsider.the Peachey amendment to the bill removing the educational in- stitutions from the board of control, the senate yesterday killed the bill by a vote of 33 to 27. A motion to re- consider the vote by which the bill was killed was lost by a vote of 4 to 43, so that the bill cannot be revived in the senate. The friends of the uni- versity and the normal schools have still another chance. A duplicate of the educational bill is in the house, and should it pass that body, there will probably be another skirmish in the senate. Some of the senate adyo- cates of the educational bill believe that if the Peachey amendment had not been adopted at all, the*bill might have passed. _The Peachy amend- St. Paul, Feb. 27.—A live stock am- phitheater at the state fair grounds, at a cost of $200,000, is provided for in a bill introduced Saturday by Senator Thomas Torson.

Dunn’s bill authorizing the use of voting machines at primary elections was recommended for pass- age. Senator John C. Hardy’s bill pro- viding that a city shall secure abso- lute title instead of an easement on property which it condemns for water works purposes, and Senator H. W.

F. Jacobson, member of the state board of control. “We have been wrongfully criticised because we did not recommend to the state legis- lature the full appropriations asked for by the board of regents. To have incorporated their demands in, our recommendations to the legislature would. have been to loot the state treasury for the benefit of one insti- tution. “There has been a great deal of fault-finding because the board re- fused to recommend the appropriation of $783,000, principally for building purposes, which would exceed by $283,000 what the state has available in the treasury and by $109,000 the ap- propriations made for building pur- poses for all other state institutions. “It is not fair to the other institu- tions of the state that the university should have everything. We must house our feeble-minded and care for our insane. They cannot be housed in barns and sheds in order to give the university such fabulous amounts. “The board is criticised because an appropriation of only $250,000 is asked for the construction of a new main building, although the board of regents asked for $425,000. The argu- ment is advanced that the plans fur- nished by the state architect called for a building to cost $419,000, but these plans were drawn upon data furnished by the state board of re- gents. . “If the appropriation goes through new plans will be prepared and 2 building will be given the university | which will be four times as large as the one burned and cost more than any other building on the campus. “At this time, when there are so many demands upon the purse of the state, there should not be a raid on the treasury in the interests of one institution. When the board recom- mends a building which will accom- modate four times the students that the old one did, and be the most ex- pensive one on the campus, I do not see how it is open to any just critt- cism. “A review of what the board has recommended for building purposes at the other institutions will show that the university has not been dealt with parsimoniously: For all institutions other than educational, $368,000; nor- mal schools, $300,000, and state uni- versity, $283,500. The board of re- gents wanted $533,000 from the reve- nue fund and an extension of the tax levy of $250,000.” RG AE UD OS Oe ee eee ce trtef sk Athy, WRG, £ ER ARIANA Voir SOME: RENIN TERT 8 GR Reet ai ee ke TO BURY BABY ALIVE. * Father Is Said to’ Have Refused to Call Doctor.
