THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1895. Interesting Sporting Events at Home and Abroa d. SERVED WITH A WARRANT. CHAMPION JAMES J. CORBETT VIR- TUALLY PLACED UNDER ARREST. BUT THIZ IS PART OF A PLAN. NOR CLARKE DECLARE THE NoTt BE Go MEANWHILE ArK., Oct. 17.—A line of action seems to ha been agreed upon in the Corbett-F imons matter. This afternoon Prosecuting Attorney Teagne bad a warrant ed for the arrest of James J. Corbett on the charge of con- spiring to com mit a breach of the peace by entering into an agreement to do bodily harm to ““one Robert Fitzsimmons.” The warrant was placed in the hands of Sheriff )0 this afternoon and that down to Spring Lake, Cor- bett’s headq ters, to serve the papers and bring Mr. Corbett before Justice of the Peace W. A. Kirk. The Sheriff succeeded in reaching Spring Lake and in serving the warrant, but as he arrived there at a Jate hour it was decided that Mr. Corbett should give a bord for his appearance in court to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock. It is understood that Justice Kirk will Corbett under bonds to keep the the sum to be something like This bond Mr. Corbett will de- e to give, when he will be incarcerated the Garland County Jail. His attor- neys will then apply to Chancery Judge Leland Leatherman for a writ of habeas corpus. In the event the writ is granted, Corbett will be ed, and the ofticials who are opposing the bringing off of the contest will be at their rope's end so far as the law is concerned. A writ of habeas corpus cannot be suspended in this State except by the General Assembly whiie in regular session, and it is the consensus of legal opinion that neither the Governor of the State nor the judicial officers can in- terfere with the proposed glove contest. Should this prove the correct version of the law, nothing will stand in the way of the glove contest and it will be brought off on time. Governor Clarke left for Tattle Rock this moining at 7 o'clock, being accompanied as far s ¥ a press correspondent from this city. On the way between this city and Malvern the Governor talked freely to the newspaper man relative to the present aspect of aifairs here re the Corbett-Fitzsimmons glove that was booked for the 3lst. He was asked whether or not the pre dispatches of this morning correctly reported his po- HOT SPRINGS, in contes sition as to the matter, and if the current | rumors that he would place no further obstacles in the way of the contest were correct. He replied that he was not re- sponsible for the rumors, and that he had found nothing during his visit ause him to change his mind ntemplated prize-fight. “Is it a fact,” he was asked, “that you have promised the citizens’ committee that you would let the local authorities cope with the matter, and that under no ci cumstances would you ca!l ont the milit State to suppress the fightif the I Florida Athletic Club insisted or persisted in going on with it?” is no foundation for any such rumors,” replied the Governor. “I made no such assertions, U either privately, pub- ¥ or otherwise, and I regret very much d that they have been allowed toap- pearin f1c print.” “Have your view n regard to the con- test been modified in‘any way, Governor ?” | “Imust admit that they have not been modified in any way. I came over to Hot Springs to see if mon grogind the 10t some com- Id find to stand upon, but afte y investigating the matter, I could find none whatever. I entertain exactly the same views that T did prior to my visit and cannot see how I can | permit anythin be pulled off on Arkans of the citizens of Hot Springs friends. Ithinka great de wonld like to help them in ¢ wounld be a benefit to them tto All my of them and nything t nt there is nothing about a prize-fight that would ac- | crue to the benefit of any community. “fs it true that you promised the citi- zens' committee that mot in any event would you call upon the State militia for suppressing the fight?” “I made no such promises or anything like them. The fact of the matter is that the military of the State are now holding | themselves in readiness to respond to a call from me at any time. I am engaged in marshaling my forces fér any contin- gency that may arise.” “It is generally understood and so re- ported upon the streets and in the hotel lobbies that the committee convinced you that there was a vast difference between a prize-fight and the contest that is now pro- posed to be brought off under the revised articles of agreement entered into by the Florida Athletic Ciub and the backers of Mr. Corbett. Issuch the case?” “That is not the case by any means. | The committee tried to so impress me, but failed to do so. They showed me the re- vised articles of agreement, which were all right. They also gave me the big five- ounce gloves to look at. one who is not posted on these matters would think for a moment the men could hurt eaca other with them, but I happened to know that they were five-ounce gloves that Corbett and Sullivan fought with and that a majority of the prize-fights of the present day are foucht with. Upon close questioning by Mr. Martin or some one else in the committee-room it was admit- ted that these were the identical gloves that Corbett and Fitzsimmons were to fight 1o a finish with on the 31st if they were not prevented from doing so. U nder the circumstances I could see no distinz- tion between a prize-fight to a finish and a glove contest for twenty-five rounds. “gvery one knows that this fight would not last through twenty-five rounds—thgt either Corbett would whip Fitzsimmons in less than twenty-five rounds o1 Fitzsim- mons would whip Corbett. Taking this view of the matter, I could not see the dif- ference. 1see by thedispatchesthismorn- ing that Fitzsimmons declares he will not go into a limited-round contest with Cor- bett. He refused to do so once before and the probabilities are that such a contest could not be pulled off were I to consent. Fitzsimmons has nothing to gain by meet- ing Corbett in a contest where there is a doubt of gaining a decision.” The Governor talked pleasantly, but firmly, and the impression he left on the | broken. arding | to the | At first glance no | newspaper man was that he meant every word he said and that unless something | intervenes to prevent him from so doing he will declare martial law. He paid Judge Duffie a high compli- ment in saying that “he stood like an old Roman in the committee-room and would | not consent for the proposed contest to go on, determinedly refusing to yield or to withdraw a word orsyllable of the demand made upon the Governor to save Garland County from the disgrace that would be put upon it by having a prize-fight within its borders.” The Governor stated that his office was crowded from morning until night with visitors from all sections of the State, who were pleading with him to stop the in- | tended fight. Letters, resolutions and petitions were stacking up high, coming to him by every mail, and all were of one | tenor, and that in opposition to the fight. | The great majgrity of his constituents were bittarly opposed to allowing Corbett and Fitzsimmons, or anybody else, to bring off a glove contest or prize-tight any- where in the State. — PLUNGERS AT SANTA ANA.

Mayor Sutro, through his Colonel W. C. Inttle, has assa ufacturers’ and Producers’ Association. The cause of the discord isan Eastern- made boiler, costing only a few hundred dollars, recently purchased by the Sutro Railroad Company. The Manufacturers’ Association contends that a California boiler of equal merit could and should have been bought if for no other reason than that the franchise called for the purchase of home products. The Mayor, through Mr. Little, denies all this sort of thing, claiming that pat- ented articles stich as the Bastern-made boiler are not embraced in the franchis though, admitting that they were, there i a clause which expressly stipulates that the California article must be of equal | durability and cheapness as the Eastern- made goods. This Mr. Little denies is the case, regardless of the repeated assertions of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- | sociation to the contrary. The association, however, has not de- sisted in its fight against the Sutro Rail- secretary, iled the Man- has made official charges against the com- pany, and as the result of this Mr. Little is | extremely angry. ¥ There will be read before the Supervisors next Monday Mayor Sutro’s reply to all | these charges. In the meantime Colonel | Little pays his respects to the Manufac- | turers’ and Producers’ Association. “No one interested in the welfare of California wiil question the assertion that the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation, if conducted in a disinterested way, would be productive of vast good to the State at large,” he says. “Ideny, however, that they are disinterested. It may not be generally known, but it is| nevertheless a fact, that (wo of its most prominent oflicers are directly connected with one of the largest iron works on the Pacific Coast. This of itself should not prove anything, for all liberal-minded people will admit that there are some veople who can be honest, not only to themselves, but at the same time act dis- interestedly in a cause which purports to benefit the people at large. H “I deny emphatically that the Risdon Iron Works, which is represented in the Manufacturers’ ands Producers’ Associa- ighths of a mile, Ruthven won, Alamo | | i i t. 17.—Five furlongs, | Time, | Agnes won, Bon Ami sec- | | with James McCusker, Everett, Mass.” that I am able to prove it, that F. Lemman, purchasing agent of the Risdon Iron Works, was sent to Los Angeles to try to effect the sale of an engine to the Los Angeles Railroad Company. Mr. Lem- man succeeded, and the Risdon Company sent Bast for a Ball vertical engine. Ac- cording to its way of reasoning boilers manufactured on the coast are best for Sutre, but for no one else. “In the more recent matter of the Cali- fornia Trust and Safe Deposit Company, did these works employ California articles— in refitting the engine-room? ot a_bit of it. True, the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association entered a feeble pro- test, but so far as the world knew it died a natural death before the ink was dry. When it is considered that the Union Iron Works and the Risdon Iron Works, both more or less under the influence of the Mayor's special friend, the octopus, are the principal factors in the movement, their antagonism to the Sutro Railroad should not create any great amount of surnrise.’”’ In the subjoined statement, which will be read before the Board of Supervisors Monday, Mayor Sutro gives his reasons for purchasing an Eastern boiler. “Mayor_ Sutro selected water-tube boi ers for the new road,” Mr. Little con- tinued, “for the reason that he was satis- fied as to their superior economy; but par- ticularly for reasons of safety, asa pro) erly constructed sectional ‘water- tu boiler is not liable to disastrous explosions. In fact, its construction practically pre- vents trouble in that direction. *The order was placed with the Eastern firm for Babcock & Wilcox patent boilers, as there are no sectional water-tube boilers made on the Pacific Coast at the present time, the only water-tube boilers made here being of the non-sectional type. “Mayor Sutro’s franchise admits the purchase of patented articles which can- not be obtained in this State, and the boilers which we have ordered are fully | covered by letters patent. At the same | time they are no morean Eastern-made | boiler than many other so-called Califor- | nia-made boilers, as in reality the latter are. manufactured in the East, shipped piecemeal to this coast, and simply put together in the shops of this City, but through that means they derive the name of California-manufactured boilers. “The California Street Cable Railwsy Company, with precisely the same fran- | chise as that held by Mayor Sutro, selected Babcock & Wilcox boilers in preference to all others at advanced prices, which shows within itself that Mayor Sutro was not de- sirous of saving cost, as he paid ubont! $4000 more for them than he could have | got others for, but he felt that the result he would secure would justify such an outiay. ‘Another reason why we selected the | Eastern boilers in preference to those manufactured on the coast is that the close proximity of the power-house of the utro road to the Sutro Baths made it ab- solutely necessary that a saiety boiler should” be used, as an explosion of the boilers might cost many lives and do incal- culable damage. *‘\WWnile Mayor Sutro regrets not being able to purchase a sectional water-tube | boiler manufactured on this coast, he feels that his own interest and the safety of those who would be in the vicinity of the power-house and in attendance at his baths would be best secured by using what he believed was the highest grade of safety | | boiler procurable, even though such selec- | | tion cost him a very considerable amount | more than the sum for which he could | | have purchased ordinary return tubular boilers made on the Pacific Coast.’ A MELANGE OF SPORTING den Gate Park—Frank e Will Try for a Record on Saturday.

In 1833 Edmund Kean was acting the part ot Othello; he had uttered the words, “Othello’s occupation’s gone,” when he fell into his son’s arms, and had just strength to whisper, “I am dying; speak to them for me!"” and was heard by the or- chestra. In 1850 Mrs. Glover took her last benefit, but was almost unconscious all the time she was on the stage, and died three days later. In 1858 Harl ey, while playing Bottom in *Midsummer Night's Dream,” was struck with dparalyais immediately after having uttered the words, *“I have an exposition of sleep come upon me.” He had to be carried off the boards and died within a few hours.—Good Words.

Outside of two disqualifications for foul riding, the principal incident of the racing yesterday was the excellent run made by Mamie Scort in the fourth race, a seven and a half furlong dash. Backed down from 10 to 4, she picked up her mmnety pounds, and assuming the lead after a fur- long had been traversed she galloped in an easy winner, five lengths before Toby, in 1:331{—a new record for the distance, the previous mark of 1:3414 being held by imp.

The only two favorites to win were Clac- quer and Rose Clark, although the win- ners of the .other three events carried nearly as mnch coin on their chances as the first choices. Miss Fletcher went to the post at 3 to 2 avorite for the opening, ran at five and a Lalf furlongs, and after finishing second to Last Chance, & 3 to 1 shot in the betting, she was disquaiified for fouling Mount Roy, the third horse in the stretch, and placed last, the latter horse getting the place and De Grout securing third money. There was another case of fouling in the following run, a five and a half furlong dasn. Ciacquer was backed down from 215 to 1 to evens to win, and turning into the stretch second to Nelson, the second choice, was pinched np against the rail all the way to the wire by Hennessy on the latter horse and beaten out a short nose. The judges promptly disqualified Nelson, giving the race to Clacquer. This gave the place to Roadrunner and the show to Kathleen. The third race for two-year-olds, five and a half furlongs, resuited in the defeat of the favorite, Redington, that went to the post 4 to 5.

I rec l\‘edpn letter from John J. Byrne, Esq., general passenger agent of the Santa Fe Lailroad, which is, in my own opinion, entirely reasonable and ‘satisiac- tory, and in the main correct. There- fore, gentlemen, 1 most respectfully with« draw ‘my name from the petition that was] | forwarded you on the 1st inst. from here requesting a reduction in the pas- senger rates from here to San Bernerdino &na Riverside from 4 43-100 cents per mile to 3 cents per mile. ‘That petitiou was signed b myself and other eitizens of San Jacinto. How ever, in this matter I only speak for myself. hereby withdraw my name irom that petition. | Very respectiully, WILLIAM LORDAN. John J. Byrne Esq. of the Santa Fe Railroad has given, seemingly, very £00d reasons for not granting the request to reduce passenger rates as herein stated, cnn'«'equenui‘ 1 have no more to say in this matter, snd I do hereby with- draw my name from said petition.

The Harvard Club celebrated the twent; second year of its existence by a dinner at the California Hotel last night. About forty alumni discussed the elaborate menu. President George B. Merrill was master of ceremonies, and there were a number of good speeches. Rev. Horatio Stebbins took occasion to eulogize Professor Lang- dell, the head of the law departmentof the | alma mater, and E. J. Pringle, who gradu- ated just fifty years ago, recalled old times. Dr. R. Beverly Cole, Colonel J. ( C. Lee and others spoke, and H. C. r- nabee of the Bostonians sang **The Days of Olg,” and was enthusiastically ored. Besides Dr. Cole, Colonel Lee and Mr. Barnabee, T. I. Bergin and Professor Retchell, the new botanist of the State Uni- versity, were guests of the club. Aletter from Charles W. Eliot to Mr. Merrill was read, showing the condition and progre: of Harvard. Mr. Eliot has been president of that institution for twenty-six yvears. In the letter lre wrote: The amount of instruction offered during the ever before. We find the number of students in the university this year to be decidedly larger than it was last year, the gain being as satisiactory in quality a5 it 'is 1n quantity. Public atten- tion has been specially directed to the increase in the freshman class of Harvard College, be- cause it is supposed to prove that non-snceess in athletic sports does not_hinder the growth ofa college. I have long been convinced that there was onlya veryslight conmection be- tween suceess in athletic sports and increase of numbers. The comparative results thisyenrat Harvard and at Yale afford an_interesting demonstration on this subject. Sports of all kinds, athletic, musical and dramatic, should be nothing but by-play at a university. If they are exaggeratea, o as to consume much | time and attract a iarge share of the public | attention, they become injurious instead of beneficial to any universit | The growth of the schools of law and | medicine is one of the most satisfactory fea- | turesin the present life of the university, for | those two schools Liave been diligently raising the standard of professional instruétion for { more than_twenty years past. Next year the Law School takes ifs true place as a_university school by demanding of ail candidates for its degree a preliminnry degree in arts, letters or science. The Medical School, having now got its four years’ coursc oi instruction firmly established, is proposing to do the seme thing, with due noti The recent establishment of an official con- nection between the university and Radeliffe College opened the way (o large increase in the influence of the university, and the gradu- ates of Harvard may confidéntly anticipate the firm and steady growth of ihe afliliated institution.

Ward of Park City Saw Close Ahead. He Altered His Helm in Time, but None Too Soon. The history of no State in the Union a hundred years to come will be more inter- esting than that of Utah. The successful camping-ground of the Mormons (what- ever else may be said of them, a great power in civilization), it has literally grown from a sandy waste to a land “flo: ing with milk and honey,” and now suy ports a cultured and intelligent race, who can indubitably throw the cap of challenge into the arena of progress with a good pros- pect of winning the Jaurels. Of course not all of the inhabitants of Utah are Mor- mons, but the settlement of the Territory, primarily, cannot be denied them. Salt Lake City is said to be one of the prettiest cities in the Union, but it is not the only monument of the go-ahead spirit that Utah possesses. Park City is certainly deserving of mention. It has not” a great population, but it is beautiful, and its inhabitants are as clear-sighted and keen people as possi- ble. One of them—Mr. J. T. Ward—came pretty near to making a most serious mis- take not many months ago, though. He was suffering from a serious malady, and he had neglected it (as people will sometimes do), with the consequence that his health became so impaired that he was, as sailors put it. “‘right in the brea S But, to use another nautical phrase, altered his helm just in time.” N for a few days longer would have been serious for Mr. Ward, but with his good, genuine common-sense he placed his case in the hands of the famous specialists of the Hudson Medical Institute, that great curative establishment which has occupied the big white building at the junction of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets for so long. When once he had given them his contidence he was secure, and he felt it instinctively. To say that he was cured is of course unnecessary, for his case was a curable one, and all curable ps are cured. He has written as follows to the management : Park City, Utah, Sept. 4, 1895. Hudson Medical Institite, Sun Francisco, Cal. —Gentlemen: I am very pleased to say that I am cured of the terrible disease which I had, and I shall always speak a good word for the Hudson Medical Institute. I forward you some money now and you can let me know in your next letter what I owe you. Yours trily, T. WARD. That is plain evidence of the abilities of the specialists of the Hudson Medical Institute. But there are thousands of such letters received monthly. K. C. Taft of Stowe, Cal., says: “I am feeling fine without & sign of the disease now.” F. Minturn, St. Louis, Mo.: “I desire to ex- press my sincere thanks for the careful and conscientious manner in which my case has been treated by you W. Fowler, Kamele, Or., writes: “I am ing as good 10w as it 15 postible for man to Now when these letters come so plenti- fully, and they coverall classes of discases, is it not absolutely conclusive proof that if you can be cured the Hudson Medical Institute is by far the best and most reliable place to go; there relief is CER- TAIN. ases Are Curable : stomach or bladder; all functional nervous dis- Al the Following ( head, all Catarrh of th brouchial diseases: enses: St Vitus' dar \ysteria: shaking pal epilepsy: ali venereal disease kinds of blood troubles: nlcers: wastes of vital forces: rhenma- tsm: gout: eczen: eases, from_what- psoriasis: all biood-poison poison ok : 10st or impaired ma; spinul tronble: nervous exhanstion ton: Inciplent paresis: all Kidney diseases: lum- bago: sclatica: ail bladder troubles: dyspepsia; indigestion all vi which are treated by the depuratin pecial instruments for bladder trou These are a few of the special diseases in which exceptionally remarkable cnres have been made Dy the specialists, and it n v be stated that ahelping band Is extended 10 ¢ E®~ Circulars and Testimonials of the Great Hudyan Sent Free.
