McDonald’s heart. “Hicks, his seconds, Claude Tibbetts, referee; O. H. Stacey and H. G. Gold- man, promoters of the bout, and the matchmakers were held by the police on charges of second degree man- slaughter. All° of them _furnished bonds for their appearance before the coroner. “The coroner ordered that an autop- sy be performed on McDonald’s body to determine exactly the cause of the fighter's death. It was asserted by Hicks’ seconds that McDonald might have been killed by breaking his neck when_he fell against the ropes.” McDonald, who weighed 153 pounds, was flve pounds lighter than his op- ponent. Just before entering the ring the fighter had been examined by the physician for the National Sporting Club, before which the figsht was held, and pronounced in,good condition. In the second minute of fghting Hicks drove his right with his full weight behind it to McDonald’s body. For a few seconds McDonald contin- ued to spar, then stagsering against the ropes, slumped to the floor. He ‘was carried from the ring by his sec- onds, but died without regaining con- sciousness. McDonald’s father was at the ring- side when_the fighter was killed. The youth had gone on the prosramme against the wish of his parent, who had forbidden him to take part in the fight. The bout was the first of five on the night's programme card and the re- mainder were carried out, except that a scheduled ten-round bout between Jeft Smith of Bayonne, N. J., and Leo Lavin of Scranton, Pa., was stopped in the fourth round because Lavin was hopelessly outclassed. AMERICAN HORSE SHOWS ORGANIZED Reginald C. Vanderbilt Elected as President.

Provost Smith said that had he been consulted he ‘would not have given his consent for the football team to make the recent trip to the Pacific coast where it was defeated by the University of Oregon. “The trip was {ll-advised,” he said. ‘While the faculty committee has de- ublic its reasons for lwell’s contract be- yond the statement that “it was un- wise to re-engage him” and that “it is not a question of salary,” it is said unofficially that its objections were on reports of the deportment of of the football officials on the trip across the continent.

New York, Jan. 30.—An early break in New Haven, forcing that stock down four points, to 39 1-3, its lowest rec- ord, was the most disconcerting feature of today’s hesitating market. The sell- ing was accompanied by disturbing re- Ports regarding the future of that pro perty, but these were authoritatively denied after which New Haven and the balance of the list were authoritatively denied. At mid-day prices agaln evinced an easier tendency, with United States Steel as the center of attraction. Wide- spread interest was manifested regare ing the amount of the extra dividend for the final quarter of last year and the concurrent financial statement for that period, neither of which became known until some time after the mar- ket's close. Messwhile, Steel, on a turnover of 140,000 shares, or about 25 per cent of the day’s total ‘operations, fluctuated between 113 1-4 and 111 5-8, with a net gain of 3-4 of a point at 113. The extra dividend of 1 3-4 per cent, mak- ing a total of 8 3-4 per cent in regular and extra dividends for the past vear ‘was somewhat under expectations, but earnings for the quarter of almost $106,000,000 were in excess of the most extravagant estimates. Aside from the diversion created by New Haven and Steel, the market was devold of special features, although low-prrced rails were active, mainly at higher levels, particularly Southern Rallway, which gained two points. There were the usual mixed move- ments in specialties, Burns Brothers, for example, scoring an advance of 6 1-2 points, with a reversal of 4 points for American Zinc preferred. Bethle- hem Steel made an early gain of § points only to fall 14 and flosed at a net loss of 8 points. Best prices were registered in the later dealings, with some shading of quotations at the end. Total sales amounted to 585,000 shares. Bonds were irregular, some representa- tive issues losing ground, with further free offerings of St. Louis and San Francisco adjustment 6's.

All expect to be away with a nedrly start tomorrow, with . their teams in good condition. Fred Hartman, who since early in the race has been regarded as almost eliminated, is pushing his four dogs through the night, hoping to catch up with the others. He drove into Fer- gus Falls at 7.10 p. m., where it was expected he would tie up for the night.

INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A “LEAK” (Continued from Page One) out as it was more or less generally known. Your message was marked confidential and we treated it so. E. F. H” Some time between the receipt of the Chicago message and Hutton's re- ply to it, the now missing message from Connelly was received, Hutton testified. This was the message on which Ellis based his message, at 1:54 o'clock, which follow: Confidentially Informed. “We are confidentially informed a highly important message to all bel- ligerents and neutrals has been issued from Washington. Interpreted not as pressure on belligerents in behalf of peace, but as one apparently to put American demands on record to be considered if there is peace and warn- ing neutral rightsc must not be furth- er encroached upon. Full text to be given out tonight and will be looked on as a move of great moment.” Questioned on the lost message from Connelly, Hutton said it was of a class his firm seldom saved. Connelly also had not kept a copy of it, he said, but added the Washington broker would testify fully before the commit- tee. Hutton also produced other com- munications his firm had sent its correspondents in which reference was made to various Washirgton situa- tions. One of them said it was un- derstood that the president’s message of last December 4, the opening day of congress, would be favorable to railroad investments. Another, Writ- ten by Hutton personally, said that “Washington advices were that in- creahed freight rates probably would be granted the railroads. No Information From Washington. Replying to sharp questioning by ‘Mr. Whipple, Hutton said he did not recall any particular advices he had in mind other than a general impression he had gained from the newspapers and the ticker. He vounteered the statement that he had learned nothing in this connection from Mr. Bollin or Mr. Connelly. He also asserted that his firm_had no sources of informa- tion in Washington outside of the Connelly company. While describing the nervous state of the financial dis- trict shortly prior to the issuance of the president’s note, owing to the top- heavy speculative accounts amassed by the “public” Hutton gave the committee a shock by casually an- nouncing that his firm’s outstanding loans against margined accounts ag- gregated $28,000,000. This condition, he said, was general and was regard ed by bankers as a dangerous over- extension that might result in a panic. The bankers had begun to call loans, he said, with the result that he had issued a notice that his firm would not do business except for cash or fifty per cent. margin, ac- cording to the security. = Baruch Made $476,168. Hutton was preceded on the stand by Bernard Baruch, a large Wall Street operator, who testified that solely by the use of foresight, he had made $476,168 by selling_ short be- tween December 10 and December 23. Baruch again declared he had re- ceived no advance information on the president’s peace note. CLEM%NT ADMITS HE SENT THE TELEGRAM One of Hundneds of Rumors Heard in Brokers Offices. Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 30.—Rumors heard in his office in Chicago were the basis of the confidential peace state- ment telegram, mentioned today in the “leak” investigation in New York as having been sent December 20 last by Clement, Curtis and Company, Chica- g0 brokers, to E. F. Hutton, New York, Allan Clement, a member of the Chi- cago firm, stated here tonight. “I sent the message _concerning which Mr. Hutton testified¥ Clement said. “It was one of the hundreds of romors heard in brokers’ offics. I don’t know where it originated nor do I re- call who gave it to me” Clement pointed out that the mes- sage h9 sent was “more in the form of an _inquiry than direct statement.” and added “we are seeking informa- tion.” THREE MEN PLEADED GUILTY OF ARSON.
