Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Jan. 4—All indications are that Nevada will soon figure prominently in a puglilistic way. Reports from Carson City, where the Legislature is now in ses- sion, show that the law legalizing prize- fights will not be repealed, and that “Dan’ Stuart, who is now in that city, is already making arrangéments for a big pugliistic carnival for next spring. Orne of the attractions Stuart has in mind is & battle for the heav veight champlonship of the world between the winner of the Jeftries-Ruhlin fight and Bob Fitasim- mons, ' If Stuart succeeds in arranging the con- test it will be decided in the ring at Car- #on City, in which Fitzsimmons gained the championship by defeating James J. Cor- bett. Lanky Bob has been quoted as say- an that he will never fight again. tuart, however, is confident that he can induce Fitzsimmons to change his mind. There are also many persons who believe that Fitzsimmons’ future pugilistic course will depend very largely on the result of the issue between Jefiries and Ruhlin. They declare that If Jeffries demonstrates his superiority over the *“Akron giant” Fitzsimmons' retirement 1s likely to be permanent. = [Po. — Index Horse, Age, Welght Petisr. 3% %. Str. Fin.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 4— Secretary Clark, of Stanford University made the following announcement this afternoon: “Stanford University announces the appointment of James Harris Curran, A. B., 1592, and A. M. of Dickinson Col lege and Ph. D. of Halle, 1900, as lcfln{ essistant professor of economics, to fil the vacancy caused by the resignation of Professor Aldrich. He will take charge of the course in elementary economics and will give advanced courses in money and soclal legislation. Professor Curran comes from the facuity of Tome Institute, an institution founded by Mr. Tome, a financier of Maryland, at Port Deposit, with which he has been connected since 1896. Prior to this time he was a teacher in the Hackettstown Seminary and in the Lew School of Dickinson College, from which he has the degree of L. L. B. Dr. Curran spent two years in Germany, mak- ing special studies in public finance under Professor Friedburg, in economics under Professor Conrad and in philosophy under Professor Riehl. His legal thesis was on ‘The Law Relslinfi to Double Jeoslrd?" and his doctor's. thesls was a_study in economic theory entitled, ‘Die Haupt- theorien Francis A. Walker,’ which has been published. “Dr. Curran has also published in Conrad’s Jahrbuch of Political Science a study of American currency laws. He has just completed a translation, author- ized by the author, of the recent notable work on public finance of Professor Johann Conrad, which will be published at an early date. “Tome Institute, with which Dr. Cur- ran has been connected, is a young insti- tution, with an endowment of $4,000,000 to be devoted to general education. It is as yet not fully organized, though work has been going on for a number of years. Its buildings, which are now In process of erection, when completed will represent an expenditure of $1.620,000. The institu- tion is under the presidency of Dr. James C. Mackenzie and Dr. Curran is one of the group of thoroughly trained students of political science already chosen for the institute.” I e e Y ) A great two-step by Eduard Etrauss, the waltz king, will be given free with next Sun- day’s Call.

PANE SR Special Bispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Jan. 4.—George Barrick, who committed a brutal murder in Yakima County last July, has i{wm himself up to officers at Cherokee, Kans., and will be brought back for trial.

" WHEEL RACE e N Canadian First Over the Line at the Close of the Fifth Dau. —— e BOSTON, Jan. 4—Archie McEachern, the clever rider from Toronto, Can., led at the finish of the fifth day's riding at Park Square Garden. The finish was nefther warm nor exciting, two of the best sprinters, McLean and Walthour, having fallen a quarter of a mile from the end. The only sensational incident of the day occurred just before the last hour, when Oscar Babcock stole a lap on the leaders. The only serious fall of the day w that of Stinson at 10:30 to-night and his mishap cnm“fllled him to have four stitches taken in a hip wound. The pace throughout was an improvement over vesterday. With the opening of the afterncon rid- ing there were expectations of distance gaining sprints by some of the leaders, but while the speed was uniformly fast from the start to the supper hour, the po- sitlons remained relatively the same. The physicial condition of the nine men was surprisingly good. 'he evening racing began the forty- xth hour. McEachern set the pace at A little later Babcock was per- mitted to lead for nearly all the first hour, at the end of which McEachern went to the front. The score was 857 miles 5 laps for the leaders. Without any warning at 10:55 Babcock cut loose and before either the crowd or riders knew what had happened he was some distance ahead of the bunch and at the end of three laps was within ten feet of the rear guard. None of the men made serfous efforts to catch the runaway. The scores at the fiftieth hour, the day's finish, were: McEachern (leading), Kaser, Stinson, Downey.

Lottridge was thrown out of court by Judge Ellswotrth to-day, but the court ruled in the bo; favor in the other sult. i The rejected action is that brought in the jockey’s own name. Judge Ellsworth held that as he is a minor he had no right to sue for the annulment of a contract made out in his mother's name. The second suit was instituted in Mrs. Coburn's name and in this case the court denied Lottridge’s 1wotion to dissolve the ‘E!)unv‘l{un restraining him from claiming Coburn’s services.

Many of his MAKES CHARE OF FAVORITISM, William Moore Claims Big Gamblers Are Protected ‘in Seattle. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Jan. 4—The trial of William Moore, which was commenced in the Po- lice Court here yesterday, promises to de- velop sensational facts connecting the city administration—or at any rate sev- eral prominent city officials—with the big gambling syndicate which practically con- trols the games of chance operated in this city. Moore was arrested by Police Cap- tain Willard and charged with operating a blackjack game in the rear of a down- town saloon. Able counsel was engaged for the defense and the fight already shows startling developments. Among the witnesses subpenaed to testify for the de- fense are Mayor Humes, Chief of Po- lice Meredith, Police Captain Willard and | other members of the force and every member of the City Council. In addition, the proprietors of four of the largest gambling halls in the city are cited to appear. ‘As described in recent dispatches to The Call, gambling in every form s per- mitted in the larger resorts. straight games operated, but every known device for the fleecing of the unwary is tolerated. Moore claims that his arrest was at the instigation of leading gamblers, who re- sent any encroachment upon the field of operations they have been permitted by the city authorities to establish. The hearing has made Slow Progress, as every effort of the defense Is concentrated to develop the fact that,a combination of big gamblers exists and is in league with certain of the city officers. This course of evidence was stubbornly fought by the City Attorney, most of whose objections were supported by Police Judge Cann, himself a city appointee and just now seeking reappointment from Mayor Humes. Police Captain Willar@ was called to the stand. and while not permitted to give much testimony, he was subjected to a personal excoriation by Moore’s attor- ney, who demanded that Willard, if the arrest of Moore were in the interest of morality, should forthwith arrest every member of the gambling fraternity in the city. It wags made evident that the city officers will resist every effort to show that they are protecting the big gamblers, but Moore is now after revenge, and while he expects to be found guilty in the Po- lice Court, he will take the case to the higher tribunals and give the city ad- ministration and gambling combine an | alring.

SEATTLE, Jan. 4—Suit was brought to- | day against the Alaska Commerclal Com- | pany, owners of the steamer Bertha, by that ship's officers and crew, who were with the steamer at the time she rescued the bark Mermaid some time ago off the Alaskan coast.

NEVADA, Mo., Jan. 4—A distinct earth- quake shock was felt here about 9: o'clock last night. The vibraticns lasted more than fifteen seconds and traveled from northeast to southwest. News was | received to-day from EIl Dorado Springs that the electric lights there were shaken entirely out, leaving that place in dark- ness for nearly a minute. Several houses had window panes broken. At Appleton City, Mo., every building was shaken, al- | though no serious damage resulted. At Pleasanton, Kan., one or two people were thrown out of bed by the shock, while hundreds ran to the streets in ter- ror. Buildings moved perceptibly and some minor damage was done. At Butler and Rich Hill, Mo., and at several places in Bates County the shock, which was preceded by a rumbling noise, was plainly felt, but no serious damage was reported. ~——F—.\ Blamed for a Forest Fire.

Well, they will keep. guessing as far as Stuart is con- cerned. In nonchalant fashion he prom- ises the best of everything. This is much unlike him. In 1897, when Stuart arranged for the Fitzstmmons-Corbett fight, he first sent out a representative. The fight talic of big Dan Stuart seems much like a vell to cover some other game he has up his sleeve. During the brief time he was visible at the Palace Stuart was approached and asked if it were true that he had been In Nevada In the Interest of the scheme for a lottery to be legalized by State legisla- tive franchise. This he denied, going back immediately to the fight talk and all the great men he would bring out some time in May or June. Enough fistic glants were enume- rated to fill a dozen rings with matches for half a year. There was nobody of note quite out of it. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 4—Jeffries and Rublin may fight their battle in Kan- sas City Convention Hall. This means has been suggested as a way to raise the funds required for the finishing of the in- terfor decorations of the big hall. The suggestion has met with favor and al- ready a movement has been started which may result in the Convention Hall Com- pany making a bid for the fight. The local authorities are being sounded as to whether there is a law in the State which prohibits prizefighting. It is thought that a permit for just one cham- pionship battie could be obtained. There has never been any great trouble in pull- ing off bouts here in the past. The big hall has been the scene of several fights, and only once did the police interfere and then for political reasons. A few months ago Jack Root put Dan Creedon out in one round before 5000 peo- ple during the week of the National Dem- ocratic Conventlon. Gardner and Santry founght a twenty-round draw. These af- fairs were on the fake order and did more to hurt the game than otherwise, but the town is ripe for a championship battle.
