Toby Irwin knocked out “Doc” Flynn in the fourth round of their fight last night in the gymnasium of the Reliance Athletic Ciub, Oakland. Irwin was the aggressor throughout and assumed a lead over his opponent from the moment the gong sent them together. Flynn was knocked down three times in the first round, barely escaping a knock- out at that stage of the proceedings. He lasted until the fourth round, when Irwin knocked him out. In the fourth Flynn landed a vicious punch on Irwin's jaw which angered the latter. He went at Flynn, fought him across the ring and smashed him right and left on the jaw. He 1anded four hard swings in suecession. Flynn did not come to for twenty minutes and had to be car- ried from the ring. When he revived he wanted to know whom he had been fight- ing. The fifteen-round bout between Tommy Gilfeather and Willie Snailham ended in a draw. Both men were on their feet at the end of the bout. The spectators -ex- pected a decision in favor gf Gilfeather, as ne seemed to have done the cleverest work. He landed stiff blows in every round, in one of them succeeding in knocking his antagonist down with a right swing. He cleverly blocked nearly all of Snailham’s swings. Snailham was aggressive and always in the fighting, but he failed to land telling blows. The first preliminary was between “Billy” Woods and “Kid"” Harris, both colored men. This was a burlesque, as Harris could not fight, and hung himself on the ropes whenever he got a chance. Woods chased his man around the ring and hit him so hard his seconds threw the sponge into the air in the fourth round. L R e e e e e MAKES ATTACK ON THE BRITON of Nationalist Speaks the Landlordism in Ireland. LONDON, Jan. 24—T. P. O'Connor (Ir- ish Nationalist) made a strong speech in the House of Commons to-day in support of John Redmond’s amendment of yester- day to the address in reply to the speech from the throne at the opening of Par- liament. He was frequently cheered. O'Connor made a special point of the recent reception of the Irish delegates in the United States by President Roosevelt, who, he said, was in thorough sympathy with the Irish movement, and by the Canadian Premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who, he added, held the same view. The speaker further asserted that the greatest of all obstacles to a good under- standing between the United States and Great Britain was the Irish question, which haunted and which wouid continue to haunt Great Britain in all parts of the world. The Irish members before now had made ministries and they would make and unmake more ministries. Landlord- ism in Ireland was doomed. The Govern- ment knew it was beaten =zll over lre- land in the question of compulsory land purchase, and the present debate marked the commencement of a new epoch in the progress of Ireland, The Right Hon. J. Atkinson, Attorney General for Ireland, in the course of a defense of the Government, admitted that there was no serious crime in Ireland; that violent crimes there had never been at such a low ebb, but he said that in- timidation and conspiracy necessitated the enforcing of the coercion act, because the juries had been taught that intimida- tion and conspiracy were not crimes. John Morley (Liberal) strongly protested against the trumpery nature of the cases utilized to justify the application of co- ercion and said that it was the first time in nine years that the question of coer- cion had been raised, and that Atkinson, in endeavoring to make a case, had ad- mitted there was no serious crime in Ire- land. Morley said that although he was un- able to support universal compulsion, he believed there was urgent need of reopen- ing the land question and thar, therefore, he would support the amendment. He further asserted he would vote for any motion carrying a proposal to confer upon the Irish people the same right to govern themselves as Great Britain had given her colonies. John Redmond's amendment was rejected by a vote of 237 to 134 Charity Club Elects Officers. * The following officers have been elected to serve on the executive board of the Mizpah Charity Club: President, Mrs. A. C. Rulofson; vice president, George War- ren; recording secretary, R. H. Country- man; treasurer, M. F. Gobbo, and cor- responding secretary, Charles Shurtliff. During the past year, besides assisting many destitute families by supplying fuel, food, clothing and shelter, the club madé somé six hundred garments, which were distributed among the following institu- tions: The Nursery for Homeless Chil- dren, Maria Kip Orphanage, Infant Shel- ter, the Children's Hospital and the Sil- ver Star Kindergarten. B — Lectures on London. Miss Kate E. Whitaker gave a most interesting talk on the *“City of London" last evening to the children of the South Side, at the South Park Settlement. The talk was {llustrated by stereopticon views, Miss Whitaker, who lived in London for many yvears, gave a vivid description of its many interesting points, carrying the avéience from the slums along the river Thames, with its miles of docks, through the busy section of the city proper, end- ing with a description of Westminster Ab- bey London Tower and the houses of Parliament. —_—— Appraises Value of a Block. The Board of Public Works filed a re- port with the Board of Supervisors yes- terday that the appraised value of the fractional block bounded by Seventh, Har- rison, Harriet and Bryant streets, exclu- sive of the city school lot, is $361,580, of which $52,400 is for improvements. The value of the fractional block bounded by Sixth and Harriet streets is fixed at $224,- 040, making a total for the whole block of $585,620. The appraisement is preliminary to declaring that public interest demands the acquisition of the land as a park and playground. e Arrested for Smuggling Bay Rum. T. C. Hunt, purser of “the steamer Ar- gyle, was arrested yesterday on a charge of smuggling. Customs Inspector C. Bry- ant, while on duty at Howard pier No. 3 yesterday morning, saw Hunt go from the steamer to the dock with a hatchet in his hand. Bryant followed him to a small office_at the end of the pier, where he saw Hunt break open a case containing twelve quart bottles of bay rum which had been taken from the Argyle and been manifested. Hunt was thereupon arrested. T R ot 5950 Power Company Incorporated. Articles of incorporation of the Valley @ounties Power Company. were filed ves- terday. The capital stock of the corpora- tion is $2,500,000, divided into 25,000 shares of the value of $100 each. The directors are R. R. Colgate, E. J. de Sabla Jr., John Martin, R. M. Hotaling, J. A. Coleman, W. M. Pierson and C. A. Grow. * The new company is formed by the purchasers of the North Plc{flc Coast Railroad. “PLUNGER” LEWIS DOES NOT CASH ALL THE BETS HE PUTS DOWN Kenilworth Is Never Headed in the Handicap at Oak- land---Pat Morrissey Wins. THE CALL'S RACING FORM CHART. LUNGER” LEWIS was on hand bright and early vyesterday to play another hand with the bookies at Oakland track. His successes of the day before were still fresh in the minds of the men on the block, and when the blonde young man went down the line they were as nervous in handling his coin as is a_ bridegroom at a church wedding. Lewis did not grow stcop shouldered carryipg around the money he won yesterday. He started well by betting a thousand on Moabina, and further on won a good bet on Matt Hogan, but the defeats of Onyx, Gray- feld and Siddons all proved costly and would have been more so if some of the pencilers had not been afraid to handle the wagers proffered them. The track was in a muddy condition and horses possessing early speed were usually the contenders at the wire. Three favorites won purses, the victory of the old mud lark, Pat Morrissey, being an especially popular one. ere was no stopping the brown horse Kenilworth in the handicap at seven fur- longs, even though shouldering 126 pounds. Because of a heavy play on Grayfeld as good as 2 to 1 was at one time obtainable about Kenllworth. It roved just like ‘“oil from the can,” for tover's horse set a clip that made the others groggy. He won almost easily at the finish. Grayfeld lost the place to Co- lonial Girl. Winnie_O'Connor started in well by landing Moabina first for the opening sprint. The filly closed an 8 to 5 favorite and, hard ridden at the close, downed Malaspina a length. Phyllis, a 15 to 1 shot, ran third, Johnny Daly, seated astride the 90- pounder Le§al Maxim, led throughout in the mile selling run. Seven to 1 could be had about the Jones’ entry, which ran in four lengths before Bragg and Tyranus, two of the first choices. A runaway trip to Butchertown in the morning apparently did not sharpen the speed of Meehanus, for Caesar Young's sprinter, with Ransch up, finished third to Matt Hogan and Captivate in the third event. He ruled a 3 to 5 favorite and faded away when called upon in the stretch, Matt Hogan downing the long shot two lengths. Sam Fullen displayed none of his old-time speed. Just as he did some four years ago when a public idol, Pat Morrissey spreadeafled hig field in the mile and a furlong selling affair. The old fellow was one of the fa- vorites, and with Johnny Woods in the saddle, never left the result in doubt, splashing home three lengths before Hun- garian. Siddons ran only a fair third, de- spite O’Connor’s hard urging. “Dell” Fountain's horse, Bard Burns, an 8 to 1 shot in the betting, captured the closing Futurity course sprint in a mild drive with Formero. Dunblane, the fa- vorite, piloted by Bullman, ran as if he had never seen a racetrack before, finish- ing last. y Track Notes.

PERERTREELRRELRE LR CHARGE EXCITES WEEPING oM Mrs. Addie Richardson Becomes Indignant in Court, PLATTSBURG, Mo., Jan. 24.—Between sobs Mrs. Addie B. Richardson to-day made her own defence of the charge of having killed her husband, Frank W. Richardson, who was murdered in their home at Savannah on the night before Christmas in 1900. She toid how she had remained at home alone to fix the Christmas tree for the children, how when she heard her hus- band approaching she turned the lighit low and prepared to surprise him when he should enter, how the footsteps of two people had been heard, a moment later the cry, “‘Has it come to this?"’ and then the shot fired in the darkness that ended Richardson’s life. ‘With emphasis she denied all knowledge of the murder and with snap refuted in- sinuations that her conduct with Stewart fe, a clerk in her husband’s store ana now awaiting trial himself for complicity in the crime, had been anything but proper. % She told how her husband, jealous of Fife and their family physician, had, when under the influence of liguor, made ac- cusations against her. Then as a climax her attorneys produced a letter written by Richardson to his wife while he was an inmate of a-drink-cure institute. It exonerated the defendant of the siurs against her character, acknowledged the writer's own gulilt and begged humbly for forgiveness. The reading of the letter proved a sensational bit of evidence. The arguments were begun during the afternoon and it is expected the case will go to the jury to-morrow noon. The in- structions will, it is said, favor acquittal. The State will demand a verdict for mur- der in the first or second degree. Judge Holds Indictment Defective. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 24.— Judge Cunningham sto-day granted a writ of habeas corpus in favor of C. A, Wel- don, who was arrested here on a charge of having obtained money by false pre- tenses at McKeesport, Pa., and for whom the Governor of Pennsylvania had made a requisition which Governor Orman had honored. The Judge held that the indict- ment on which the requisition was based was “fatally defective.” Weldon claimed that the charge was unfounded and was trumped up in order to get him back to Pennsylvania, where service would be had on him in a civil suit.

Shaffer was discharged by the rall- road company for participating in a strike. He claimed that he could not se- cure employment on any other road be- cause the company refused to give him a certificate of service, and he sued for damages. The judgment of the lower court in favor of Shaffer was reversed by the Supreme Court, the ruling of which follows: ““A master is under legal obligation to glve to his discharged servant a state- ment of his service, and whether or not it was satisfactory; and a discharged railroad employe cannot maintain an ac- tion for damages against the company which discharged him for refusal to fur- nish him a clearance or statement of the record of his service, although he may bave been unable to obtain other employ- ment in consequence of such refusal by the company.” New Orleans Racing.

MANILA, Jan. 24.—Both the civil and military authorities here deprecate the publication in the Philippines of Profes- sor Schurmann’s Boston speech and the minority report in the Senate on the Phil- ippine tariff bill, which, they say, are liable to have a bad effect on the Fili- pinos. General Wheaton, commander of the Department of the North Philippines, says men have been sent to prison here for remarks such as those of Professor Schurmann, and that if what he advo- cates was accomplished it would mean the expenditure of much treasure and the shedding of blood like water. Now, as before, he adds, 50,000 soldiers are needed here and will be required in these islands for at least five years. It will then be possible to form a government based on that of the colonies of Holland and Great Britain, they having proved the most successful managers of Oriental races. General Chaffee is expected back from the island of Samar January 30.

Secrestat Jr. of Bordeaux to land, although the Government had pre- viously assured the Consul that the trav- eler might debark. It is held by the authorities that while the French line steamer St. Laurent, on which Secrestat was a passenger, was at Fort de France, island of Martinique, or at the island of Trinidad, he conferred with General Matos,. the revolutionary leader. ‘I'ne Consul made inquiries on the sub- Ject which estabtishied tne Iact that Gea- eral Matos was not at Martinique or L'rin~ idad when the St. Laurentsiouched at those islands, but was oft the Venezuelan coast on board the revolutionist steamer La Libertador. All the passengers of the St. Laurent and notably the secretary of the Spanish legation at Caracas assert that tne behavior of Secrestat was always most correct and tnat he did not see Matos. . . 1t is claimed that this incident makes it necessary for the French Government to take the steps .necessary to cause k'rench citizens to be respected and it is believed that the French cruisers Tage and Suchet, now at Fort de France, will receive orders to go to La Guayra. The French cruiser D’lstres is at Carupano, a seaport town in_the State of Bermudese.

Secrestat Sr. The French Government, January 16, cabled to Caracas, instructing the French Consul there to insist that M. Secrestat Jr. be allowed to land. Victim of Morphine Habit. ‘Willlam C.
