PACIFIC GROVE, Can., July 23 — Raiph Zuck of Gilroy, one of the class of 97 of the University of the Pacific who is summering here, accomplished a feat this afternoon which had never before bLeen tried. Zuck swam from this piace to Monterey, a distance of three miles, turougn very rough water, in one hour and filly-nine minutes: A1 3:30 o’clock he entered the water at the bathing beach and at the same time a boat containing two of his friends, wno rowed along near him to be at hand if necessary, left the small pier near the beach. Everything went well until the swimmer was fairly out of the cove into the rough water of the bay, but there he encountered a stronz contrary current whicy impeded his progress and was so heavy that even the occupants of the boat found it hard to combat. . 2 Afier passing Chinatown Point, the water became smoother, and he made rapid headway, but the length of time in which he had remained in the extremely cold water began to affect him and when nearing the Monterey wharf his right ieg cramped alarmingly. His splendid phy- sique and excellent athletic condition enabled him to finish the trip without aid and he climbed upon the whaif at5:20 o'clock.

R. Borden Passes Jway at His Home in Purissima. REDWOOD CITY, CaL., July 23.—G. R. Borden, a wealthy pioneer resident of this county, died at his bome at Purissima, on the coast side, yesterday. Borden landed in this section in 1853, Jocating near Half- moon Bay, and bad the distinction of being the first white man to cross the Santa Cruz range of mountains and make his home in that place. T.e late James Peace, who deserted his vessel in San Francisco Bay some years previous, was undoubtedly the first white resident. Borden was born near Littie Falls, N. Y., in 1812, and during bis boynood was a schooimate and intimate friend of the late Senator Stanford. Borden was one of the builders of the Erie canal, hav- ing had charge of the construction of fifty miles near Utica City. The deceased was extensively engaged in the manufacture of shingles and was associated with G. P. Hartley of this city, jorming one co-partnership, and with | R. H. Haicheof the coast side in a simiiar enterprise. His real property consists of a valuable tract of timver land in Purissima Canyon which is worth $100,000. He leaves one son.

OFFERS A HOME 10 BEBY DOROTHY The Mother of Creede’s Adopted Child Files a Petition. Asks That She Be Appointed Guardian of the Little Heiress. Legal Battle for the Late Miner’s Wealth Begun at Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Car, July 23— Though tha fortune left by the late N. C. Creede or Harvey appears to have shrunken from millions to about $250,000, there is no lessening of the endeavors of the opposing litigants to secure a slice of what is left. Tne will of the famous miner having been filed for probate and the widow having applied for letters of administration a foundation was therein laid for a lively legal battle. Mrs. Creede to-aay applied to the court for an order for an allowance from the estate and permission to take up her resi- dence in the Creede mansion. It is said by the attorney for the deceased that such an order cannot be obtained, as the widow has sold her right for the $20,000 she re- ceived trom her husband. Another contest was started to-day by Mrs. Edith M. Basford of San Francisco, who filed a petition to pe appointed guardian of Edith Dorothy Creede, an in- fant, who, as reiated in the application, has no living relative save her mother, the petitioner, and her father, John M.

Congressman Loud Shcwn No Considera- tion in the Matter of Federal Appoiniments. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23 —Repre- sentative Loud wiil leave for San Fran- cisco next Wednesday. He will stop one day in Chicago, one in St. Paul and an- otherin Portland, Oregon. Mr. Loud is now entirely recovsred from his recent sertous illness. He will not leave here with the best of feeling toward his col- leagues of the California delegation. In conyersation with THE CALL correspond- ent he complained bitterly of their con- duct, which he said had been unfair to- ward him. He said that it was the un- derstanding that each member of the del- egation was to be consulted when Califor- fornia appointments were to be made and that the delegation was to agree on the men to be indorsed. With this under- standing be indorsed Jobn P. Jackson, Sanator Perkins’ man, for Collector of the Port; Frank Leach for Superintendent of the Mint; Captain Merry for Nicaragua, as well as Morrow and de Havens for the judgeships, and it was his confident belief that he, as a Congressman from the Cali- fornia metropolis who i8 now serving his eighth year, would have some recognition at least, but up to date he had not secured an appointment and hardly expected to receive any. Mr. Loud said to-night: “Ithought I was dealing with gentle- men ali the time, but have discoverea my mistake. I realize now that I missed a voint when I failed to suggest to the President that he appoint Joe Spear Col- lector instead of Jackson. The President was very anxious to appoint his friend Spear, and it took a great deal of pleading on Senator Perkins’ part to have Jackson appointed. 1f I had refused to join the delegation and had recommendecd Spear for Collector he would have been ap- pointed, for the President only wanted a good excuse to appoint him. I have stood in with Perkins, Hilborn and Barham and indorsed their men for places, yet they have treated me with scant courtesy. Perkins promised me that he would not recommend Spear for Eurveyor, yet I afterward learned that he suggested to the Pre-ident that Jackson might be made Collecter and cpear Surveyor. They in- dorsed Lvnch for Internal Revenye Col- lector and A. C. Tufts for drug inspector while I was sick. *'Congressman Joy of Missouri told me vesterday that he had gone to Senator Perkins in the interest of his brother, a San Francisco druggist, for drug inspec- tor, to succeed Kern, and Perkins in- formed me that Loud had the making of this appointment, and he would do well to see me about it. Notwithstanding this, Barham &nd Hilborn recommended Tufts for the place without ¢ven consult- ing me. I understand that Congressman Joy intends to ask an explanation of Sen- ator Perkins.”” (SR S — OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Objections to Marble for the N:w Post- office Buitding—Tufts for Drug In- spector—New Postmasters. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—Con- gressman Loud, in substantiation of the assertion made in his letter to the Super- vising Architect that marble is unsuitable for the San Francisco Postoffice building on account of rasts and stains thit mar- ble is subjected to, calls attention to the new Congressional Library building, whose marble is already beginniag to stain and rust. ‘‘All marble does the same,” says Mr. Loud, *‘fur it contains iron. Besides the marble will have to be imported around the Horn in sailing ves- sels. This will not only greatly enhance the cost of the building, but will delay its construction.” It is understood that the Treasury De- partment 18 waiting for a report from the Collector of Customs at San Francisco be- fore removing Drug Inspector Kerns.

A DRAV, BUT A GREAT FIGHT Dixon and Hawkins Divide Honors in the Feather- weight Battle, The Referee’s Decision Meets the Approval of the Spec- tators. Elmer, the Actor-Pugilist, Puts George Allen, the Australian, to Sleep in Half a Round. Little George Dixon is still the pnenom- enal boxer that he was when he won the world’s feather-weight championship, but in his engagement with Dal Hawkins at the Mechanics’ Pavilion last night he learned that there are ‘“‘others’’— one other, anyhow. Hawking was the short-ender in the betting, as was no mere than natural, see- ing that he was going against the best little man of his inches, probably, that the world ever produced ior the roped arena. The battle was fought out to the end, twenty rounds being the limit, and Referee Welch’s decision was that it was adraw. And scarcely a dissenting voice was heard among the thousands who attended the bruising match when he announced his decrece. He could not have done otherwise, for although from the scientific standpoint the coffee-col- ored lad from Boston might possibly have had a shade the better of the scuffle, siuill Hawkins acquitted himself so well and returned the champion’s assaults with so much zeal ard effect that to have indulged in any hair-splitting and given the dccision to the visitor would have certainly met with demonstrative disap- proval on the part of the spectators. But it was a great fight, the like of which may not be again witnessed in wany a moon. The only credit that the Empire Ath- letic Club can take out of the affair is that 1t drew a big house and was fortunate in having the control of so clever a show. Outside of that nothing but censure is due this new mushroom concern. Its man- ageme:nt of the seating arrangements, for instance, would have been a disgrace to an smateur affair. Many people who gave up their good money for reserved seats went Ihere to find others who Lad “tipped’’ the so-called ushers occupying their chairs, and being able to get no re- dress from the management, had to con- tent themselves with standing up. Then none other but the promoters were to blame for the squabble that took place in the ring previous to the main event over the selection of a referee. This is a matter that all well organized and managed clubs attend to before the men strip for the fray and something for which the spectaiors do not pay to hear argued on the platiorm. The clubselected Hiram B. Cook to supervise the coniest despite the fact that Hawkins and his backers ob- jected to him. Cook is undoubtedly a good referee, but when he is not wantea the club should not seek to force him into the arena. The crowd, for some reason or other, also objected to Cook and he was finally compelled to retire. But as to the fight—for that was the all- mportant ‘‘event of the evening,” as Master of Ceremonies Billy Jordan has stereotyped it. Dixon and Hawkins ceme into the ring shorily before 10 o’clock, accompanied by their respective retinues, buckets, sponges and towels. Hawkins was the first to ar- rive. He received a great ovation from the crowd in addition to ail sortsof ad vice, He started to take the corner that Al- len, the defeated Australian had occupied just previous to the big event, but his friends in the gallery would not listen to it, and he had to move. The Californian was attended by 1im McGrath, “Spider” Kelly and Martin Murphy. The men who were behind D:xon were Young Mitchell, Tam O'Rourke and Jack Everhardt. The men scaled 128 pounds at 6 o’clock. Cook was accorded a nasty hissing when Master of Ceremonies Jordan went to introduce him. He smiled and seemed willing enough to act, but when *Spider” Kelly, Haw- kins’ chief second, went iuto the middle of the ring and protested, the oid-tune referee retired. Then there was a long spell of arguing. “These loiks signed to fight under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, and that mesns Litting in the clinches with a free arm,” shouted Tom O'Rourke, Dixon’s mentor. *“Now they don’t want to liveup to their agreement.”’ Master of Ceremonies Jordan announced in behalf of the menagement that Hiram Cook was the choice for referee and would have to be accepted. Thereupon Cook reappeared within the ropes and aroused more hissing. “Anybody but Cook!” shouted Haw- kins’ hosts. “Look here,” yelled Jim Neil, one of Hawkins’ grooms, ‘‘the betting against Hawkins was $100 to $75 at first, and now 1t is $100 to $40. What's the matter? We won't have Cook.” The crowd howled and hooted, hissed and whistled in spells, and finaily de- manded that the battle goc on. Jordan re- announced the management’s decision regarding Cook, but the Hawkins contin- gent would not hear to it. Dixon stepped out in the center, but Hawkins would not meet him. Then there was more noise, and it was kept up until Cook finally announced thet he would withdraw in favor of Jack Welch of this City. Then the gong clanged and the cham- pion and the clever local lad, who has his eves on the title, tripped up to the center for their game of fisticuffs. It was seen at a glance that Hawkins had the best of it 8o far as height and range went, and he also looked to be somewhat the heavier. But 1o offset this Dixon had with him that familiar agilily, those steel- like muscles, all of his old-time contidence. He was the more scientific of the two, but not the punisher. It was a left-handed battle on botir sides. The hostilities began with a light left lead from Hawkins on the visitor's mouth that did no particular damage, but had the effect of informing the local lad as to his distance. He tried again with his left, but this time the colored boy ducked cleverly and escaped, at the same tims winning the plaudits of the admirineg crowd. Dixon then inaugurated a series of rashes and clinches, driving Hawkins to the ropes and in the mix-up landing some fairly hard blows, yet not damaging enough 10 jar Hawkins to any <erious extent. He landed one thump on the local lad’s throat that caused him to guip, but Dal recovered himself in ample time to Ez- vent any disaster. He waited for the Bos- ion wonder to come again, and this time cuught him with two hard lefts on the body—something that caused the little brunette to grunt with pain and make faces. These two blows sent Hawkins’ stock up immediately, and he was wildly cheered during the rest between rounds. Some pretty work was done in the sec- ond round. Itopened with a clinch, and when the lads broze apart Dixon came back with a rush, but was neatly blocked. Hawkins then tried to land that famous left hook of his, but Dixon was on the alert and cleverly headed 1t off with his elbow. Hawkins then drove his man to the Topes and landed a good left on the mouth, but when he tried to follow 1t up with another he missed awkwardly, and it was only his good luck that saved him from a return that would have made trou- ble for him. They 1induiged in a little sparring, and then Dixon rushed and landed a savage right jolt over Hawkins’ heart. This round was about even. _So were the third, fourth, fifth and sixtb. The same tactics were followed by both men right along, and neither were damaged to any grave extent, althongh both were landing hard and often. In the seventh Hawkins distinguished him- self. He stopped Dixon’s initial rush with a sharprap on the nose and imme- diately caught him another, this time flush on the cheek,a biow that for the moment staggered the stranger. Dixon was against the ropes several times during the round, but was fighting all the while and was not at all dauated by the roars of applause and encourage- ment that went up for the San Franciscan. Just as the round closed he gave Hawkins arapon the jaw that reminded him that there was more than one man in the fight. But it was Hawkins’ round, nevertheless, Dixon returned to his rushes and arives for the jaw in the eighth and ninth rounds and more than evened up the score for his losses in the seventh. He landed on Hawkins repeatedly, and, while the blows were not of the disastrous kind, still they hurt and kept Hawkins on the defensive. Then Hawkins had another inning in the eleventh round, landing several vicious body blows on his opponent and causing him to grunt again and look dis- tressed. Honors continued about even from this time on until the nineteenth round, when Hawkins again took the lead for awhile. | It was fast and hot fighting ail along toward the close, with D:xoa continuaily rushing, shiiting and chinching and Haw- kins countering on the head and body and waiting for a decisive blow—the blow, though, that never came. The last round was of the cyclonic or- der. The boxers shook hands before they engaged in tne final collision, and then they went at it hammer and tongs. Hawkins assumed the aggressive and landed a sharp left upon the colored lad’s cheek that sent his head back. Dixon came back with an ugly left swing for the head, but missed. The San | Franciscan took advantage of this slip | and shot his left into the Boston boy’s mouth, drawing the blood zgain. The crowd was now nearly wild with excite- ment. Naturally the bulk of the attendance was enthusiastic for the local man, but | there were plenty of howlers there for the dusky little visitor. Dixon spat the blood out of his mouth and rushed Hawkins to the rope. It served him no good, how- ever, for Hawkins countered him on the | nose. Dixon would ot be denied and rushed again, this time placing a lightning leit | upon Hawkins’ rizht ear. Hawkins then | took a iurn at rushing; swinging both leit | and right, butlanding only the former. | Dixon was looking serious and WIS] plainly worrying about the possibilities | of the decision. He rushed desperately | at his opponent, landing twice on the | head and once on the body—all three of | them wicked blows. | Hawkins took -the thumping gamely | and returned to the assault with a series ’ | | of left swings. Just as the gong sounded at the end of the fight he popped one of them on Dixon's mouth. ““You are a good little man,” said Tom | O'Rourke when Hawkins stepped acro:s[ the ring to shake hands with Dixon. 1 The decision of a draw gave universal | satisfaction. While the preliminaries were going on | there was a heated wrangle in Dixon’s | dressing-room between the principals of the creat feather-weight battle. Iv appears that Dixon wanted to follow | the out-and-out Qu:ensberry rulesas they | were interpreted by Referee George Siler— | that is, permitiing hitting in tke ciinches, | whereas, Hawkinsand his backers argued for a “fair” break. The latter style was | tinally azreed to. | The first *real thing’’ of the evening was what was billed to be a fifteen-round contest between George Allen of Australia | and Billy Eimer, the actor pugilist. | It shouldn’t nave haopened. Certainly nothing easier than Allen could have been picked up without calling at the old sol- diers’ home. The diagnosing doctor proclaimed that | he could find no ‘“‘weak spots’” in the Australian’s an.tomy, but it only took | Eimer 1 minute and 12 seconds to find several of those kind of spots. 1n short the actor only let out four blows and didn’t have to draw upon his reserve stock. The second of these laid Allen out on the resin for eight seconds and the last finished him. [L was easy money for Elmer. Alien bad no businessin the ring. F AR 2 s Deputy Sheriff Arrested. J.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 23.—The | Chinese residents of this city have de- | cided to fight the alien labor law passed by the last Legislature. This law imposes a tax of 3 cents aday on the labor of aliens. The ground that the Chinese will take is that as they are barred from free citizen- ship they cannot be made the subject of a discriminating tax. The constitutionality of the law has never been attacked on other grounds. An injunction suit has already been brought by a citizen of Great Britain, who objects to paying the tax on the ground that it is a violation of the treaty which insures equal privileges and rights to the citizens of each country when resident in the other. It is also alleged that it is outside of the power of the State to enact such legislation, as the State can have no deal- ings with a foreign country, and that all attempt at retaliation would fall on the NEW TO-DAY.
