He escaped | Gardner's wild swings and then came | back at him with some hard jabs in_the face. Just before the round closed Root cut Gardner's eye and sent a stinging right to the body. Gardner was first to get in action in the second round, scoring right and lefi to the body, but doing no damage. Root com- menced to play for Gardner's sore eye and did not improve cither its beauty or its usefulness. Root sent in a right cross to the chin for a knockout, but it just missed its mark. This was clearly Root's round, as he did by far the most effective work. The betting, which had been 10 to 7 on Gardner, shified to 10 to 8 on Root. The third round was fuli of rough work on both sides, Root’s seconds claiming a foul several times. Gardner knocked Root down early in the fourth round and, thinking he had biae on the down grade, went at him vi- clously. Root came back strongly and soon had Gardner in distress. Root tried severzl times for his right swing, but the | blow missed its intended target. The | men were exchanging blow for blow as the bell signaled the end of the round. Gardner was getting desperate and missed a wild swing for the head, taking a hard one in return. Root followed this up with two rights to the body. He failed to land a right cross, but sent -a hard uppercut under Gardner’s guard: Referee Wand warned Gardner for hangz- ing on in the clinches afier he had been ordered to “break.”’ The Pavilion was in a turmoil through- out the sixth round. Root claimed a foul, saying Gardner was hitting him low. The spectators sided with Root and hissed and groaned at Gardmer. They kept this up throughout the minute intervai. After the fight the referee said he had overlooked some minor fouls, warning the men to be careful. He could not overlook the one in the seventh and gave the fight to_Root. Jack Dean and Gus Saulsbury fought ten earnest but ineffectual rounds in the forest in Shasta-and Siskiyou Counties. Last evening George W. Scott said that the fusion of the several interests was effected for convenience and _economy principally. One company would hereafter, in place of the several, conduct the large interests represented. o Races in New Orleans.

Jacobs of Rutherford, N. J. Root | | Broad letic Club. Constant clinching during the last two rounds was all that saved Sulli- van from being knocked out. When the fight ended he was on the verge of col- lapse and holding on to Broad, who was unable to shake him, off and land a knockout blow. The ‘men met at catch weights and Broad had at least six pounds the better of it. This extra weight began to tell after the first rounds, and landed with either hand about where he pleased. The first two rounds were slow, neither man_ showing much_disposition to fight. In the next round Broad began to force the fighting and landed several heavy up- percuts on Sullivan’'s stomach. When the round ended Broad went to his corner looking tired. The fourth round was siow, both men falling into clinches at every opportunity and hammering each other on the kidneys. The fifth round was the best of the fight. Both started in with vim and each landed several telling blows. After about a minute’s fighting while they were stand- ing close together, excnanging swing: Broad Janded a hard right on Sullivan ear. Broad had the full force of his body behind the blow and Sullivan fell to the floor. He was barely able to get up at the count. Broad for the second time swung his right to Sullivan's ear. The latter went down again and got up with difficulty just as the referee raised his hand for the count of ten. Broad, think- ing he had won the fight, turned toward his corner. Sullivan rushed at him and landed a swing on Broad's jaw. The blow did little damage, however. Broad wheeled around and commenced hammering Sullivan all over the ring. Sul- livan was barely ‘able to protect himself, but finally managed to clinch and save himself from what seemed an inevitable knockout. When the round ended Sulli- van was_barely able to stagger to his corner. Sullivan resorted to clinching again in the sixth and barely saved him- self from a knockout as the fight ended.

ATHLETES ARE - STARTLED"BY_ 4 DISCLOSURES Officers of the Pacch Asso- ciation to Hold- Rigid Investigation of Charges As an outcome of the sensational meet- ing of the Pacific Association of the Ama- | teur Athletic Union, held in the Olympic Club Thursday night, President W. B. Hinchman yesterday preferred charges of: professionalism against J. R., Bockman, ex-president of the association. The mat- ter will be thoroughly threshed .out at a meeting of the association to be held on the 13tn inst. ‘ “This is all an unfortunate mistake,” said Mr. Bockman Yyesterday. . “‘It._has all come about owing to the fact that the annual meeting was never held as the laws of the asgoclation provide. I ready to present my reports, but was not afforded an opportunity. These reports would. show that all my accounts were straight and that there was a small bal- ance due me. 2 “The members of the former registra- tion committee decided to.charge Morris Levy $20 for a sanction fee and he has my receipt for the money. It was ex- pended in the interest of the association. As to the registering of boxers, it was decided at the timethat they should be kept apart from the other. amateurs, as they were not considered in the samec category. 28 “The bulk of the work of the commit- tee fell on my shoulders and I devoted much time to the work without satisfac- tory results. The present muddled con- dition of affairs will be eleared up at the next meeting.” The affair has attracted widespread at- tention owing to the prominence of the association in the world of athletics. President Hinchman and the- officers of the association will press the inquiry in order to fix the responsibility for any wrong which may have been committed. —————————— FAIR GOLFERS MEET FOR THE CEAMPIONSHIP Southern Contest Narrows Down to Miss Smith and Mrs. Foster.

Sad- and Special Disvatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 31—"Jack"” Wade and William H. Dalton, highway- men and murderers of James B. Morrow, were hanged in the Courthouse square at 7:58 this morning. Both men walked to the gailows without a tremor, ascended the stairway and took their places at their respective traps. Both were al- lowed to make statements. “Though I received salvation behind the bars,” said Dalton, “I glorify the name of the Heavenly Father forever and for- ever. I do not know if my friends will do as I do, but I do know that the Savior who shed his precious blood for me will bring me into_the house of life. “Temptation i$ the ruin of many a man ho cannot resist it,” Dalton continued. T pray for you, my dear boys, and if there is an infidel in this erowd I'll give my life for his saving. I'll do it, I'll do it, and I praise the Lord for giving me the strength to say so.” Wade Gay, Then Cheerful. Dalton paused and Wade took a cigar from his vocket and threw it into the crowd. Several hands were reached for it and “Jack” laughed when the spectators failed to catch the souvenir. ' Turning aside, he grasped the noose which was swinging by his head. He felt the rope, pinched it as if to see if it were real hemp, winked, smiled and laughed at the spectators and said audibly: “It is tough.” “Boys, I bave only a few said Wade, stepping forw words to say, and 1 1 say. Now,” with eyes glistening with tears, “don’t any of you follow in the track of ‘Jack.! Now don’t you do it! (determined- ly). You might think I am happy here. T am not. I am here because I can't do any better in this world. What would life in Salem be to me?" No one in the crowd felt disposé® to an- swer the question, and Wade turned to his trap. Standing there, he again spoke: “Don’t none of you follow my tracks,” he_advised. Black caps were produced and at the sight of them Wade said: “Good-by one and good-by all.’”” The caps and nooses were then ad- justed. oA “Good-by, Jack,” called Dalton. “Good-by, Billy—good-by all,” ‘was the answer. ‘At 7:38 o'clock Sheriff Frasier raised his hand. Three unseen men pulled three un- seen ropes and Wade and Dalton dropped to eternity. Murderers’ Brutal Crime. Joseph Wade and B. H. Dalton mur- dered James B. Morrow for 25 cents. Mor- Tow had been calling on a young lady friend and was on his way home about midnight on November 14, when Wade and Dalton stepped in front of him_and B dered him to throw up his hands. Mor- row made a movement toward putting his hands into his pockets and = Wade fired the fatal shot. The murderers were arrested three days later in a lodging- house through information given by the woman who kept the house.. When ar- rested each man accused the other of being the murderer, but after a few weeks Wade confessed that he himsclf fired the shot. ‘Wade was born near Pittsburg, Pa., and Dalton in Atlants, Ga. Wade and his victim were both under 21 years of age, while Dalton was only 2. On Wednesday Wade, who treated his ap- proaching execution with levity, embraced religion, and, according to a missionary who has visited the prisoners, his con- version was due partly to the prayers of his fellow-murderer Dalton and partly to the reading of a passage in Paul's epistle to the Romans: not ashamed of the c‘}:‘n:”x e 1t 1u the power ot God Lnty sl Vation to every one that belleveth. Wade became serious and declared that he believed in these words. Dalton had received spiritual advice for several weeks.

The narrow escape from death of Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department and his telegraph operator on Thursday evening in a collision with an electric car at the corner of Grant avenue and Post street caused much discussion yesterday. It is the consensus of opinion that if the fire alarm whistles had been blowing the ac- cident would not have occurred. Those who are in favor of seeing the fire alarm whistle again installed put forward the argument that when the whistles are blowing gripmen and motormen of street cars become cautious and are on the laokout for fire engines and officers hur- rying in their bugsies to the scene of the blaze. Chief Sullivan is in favor of the fire alarm whistle being abolished. He says that San Francisco was the last city of any size to do away with this system of warning people that there was a fire burning in their city. “T think it was a good plan to abolish the whistles,” he said. “A few nights ago an alarm came in from the box at Main and_Bryant streets. It was llmplx @a case of the wires being crossed an there was no fire down there. We had hardly returned home when a second and a third alarm came from the same boX. The wires were eventually repaired and we went home for good. In this instance if the whistles had been blowing we would have had an enormous crowd down there, as the people would have thought that half the town was burning down. Big crowds at a fire are very much in the way and 'rently impede the firemen in_their work." Chief Sullivan, however, says that the Harbor Commissioners are in favor of the fire alarm whistles and that they have already petitioned the Fire Com- missioners to allow them to have a siren placed in the tower of the fe building. This whistle, if installed, is to connect with twenty-one firm alarm boxes on the front. 5 An order has been issued by Chief Witt- man directing police officers to caution gripmen and motormen when there is a| fire and warn them to be on the alert.

None of the re- maining 200 of said bonds from No. 271 to 470 Inclusive were issued in accordance ‘with the terms of the mortgage, and they are not legal or valid obligations, except such of them as are held by persons who in good faith and without notice and for a valuable consideration acquired an own- ership or interest in them. f the 200 bonds those numbered from 304 to 334, held by E.
