It was Morley day at Recreation Park yesterday. His men won the game and | put out the fire. The Angels landed on Hodson for only fifteen hits in six in- nings, and to make the game interesting some enterprising gent set fire to the pad- ded backstop. An ‘excited individual yelled “Fire!” and the official scorer ran from the grounds and tore up Eighth street. He was brought back in a cab and play ‘was resumed. It all happened in the fifth.

Former Will Not Treat With Billy Delaney Nor Go to Los Angeles. No progress was made yesterday in the negotiations for a fight between Jeffries and Fitzsimmons. < Matters seem to be _at a serio-comic | deadlock, as Fitzstmmons refuses to con- Guct any negotiations through Billy De- laney, Jeffries’ manager, blaming the lat- ter for placing himrin the position before the public of having avoided the oppor- tunity of making a match. Fitzsimmons will not make the pilgrimage to Los An- geles, believing he has shown his earnest- ness in the matter by coming across the continent. The opinion was freely expressed among erday that the manly thing for Jeffries to do would be to board the first train for this city and talk over the match. When the men were separated by the width of the continent they carried on a long-distance talking match of which the public grew tired. If Jeffries determines to stay in the south #he pros- pects are good for a repetition of the con- troversy. It needs only a few minutes’ conversa- tion with Fitzsimmons to see he is in earnest about the matter. He claims that had Jeffries accepted the Charleston Ex- position management's offer quickly there would have been no opposition. Accord- ing to Fitzsimmons, the Governor of South Carolina had told the exposition people to go ahead and arrange the match. When there was so much talk about it the Governor could ot withstand the pressure and gave out the statement that he would not permit the fight. _Fitzsimmons was on the streets yester- day renewing old acquaintances. He has a_fresh, youthful appearance and is full of boyish spirits. He claims he is a bet- ter fighter to-day than he was twenty vears ago. all its departments, having made a care- ful study of boxing in recent years. praises the modern system of training, which builds up a man’s vitality. mer times ponderous muscles were devel oped, but at the expense of the boxer's | vitality, that intangible quallty which can neither be seen or measured, but which plays so important a part in all contests in which men or horses take part. SO ST S JEFFRIES READY TO FIGHT. Thinks Los Angeles Club Offer the Best in Sight. LOS ANGELES, May 8.—"Just say that I will meet Fitzsimmons in San Fran- cisco,” was all Jim Jeffries would say to- night when he was informed that th Cornishman would limit his activities to San Francisco. There is an added proviso to this state- ment that the proposition of the San Francisco club which handles the contest shall be such as the participants shall se- cure much net as the Los Angeles proposition will give them. The Los An- geles proposal is a flat offer of $25,000 guar- anteed, with an alternative of 80 per cent of the gross receipts. Among the local talent who follow the movements of the men in the squared circle, the latest ultimatum of Fitzsim- mons’ is something of a puzzle and is in- terpreted to mean that he may be looking for a hole to crawl through.

Y., May 8.—Judge Earl, referee in the matter of the constitution- ality of the New York State franchise tax law, declares the.law constitutional on every point. The case is still to be passed upon by the appellate division of the Su- preme Court and the Court of Appeals. The special. franchise tax law was passed in 1899. In effect it declares that corporation franchises are property and must be taxed as such. TUnder the law valuations of speclh\tgnnchlses are fixed by the State Tax Cominissioners. The amount of the assessment involved in these proceedings is $137,000,000. Forty millions of this is property which under the old regime was taxed byj the local a: sessors. The total progerty of this char- acter throughout the State is $266,000,000. The amount of real estate as distin- guished from the naked franchises con- tained in_this amount exceeds $100,000. Judge Barl takes up four propositions in his review of the law: First, conflict ‘with the Statefonstltuflon on home rule; second, conflict with the Federal consti- tution; third, on impairing) contracts and incompatibility of the law ‘with other tax statutes, in that the value of a franchise for use of a street cannot be separated from other property values; fourth, gen- | eral objections to the method of determin. ing values. On all-of these pbints he dis- sents from the objections and finds for the State. ST. LOUIS SHUTS OUT DETROIT ON HOME FIELD Cowell Pitches Great Ball and Is Hit Safely but Twice—On Other Diamonds.

Carita followed with some dextrous tricks, and then Raymond and Caverly, German jesters, from the Orpheum, rode in on an elec- tric_car, and after a quarrel with the conductor and motorman proceeded to amuse the audience with parodies and funny ‘“‘gags.” Their efforts were suc- cessful. Miss Louise Dresser was given a warm reception and she rendered a number of songs. Then came the comedy trio from the Tivoli—Hartman, Cashman and Webb— who warbled “Do You Follow Me?” from “The 8inging Girl.” The Goodwin-EIl- liott Company presented the second act from Esmond’s comedy, ‘“When We Were appreciated.

SCRANTON, Pa., May 8—To-night the situation in the threatened miners’ strike hangs on answers that are expected to come to a proposal of arbitration em- anating from this morning’'s session of the miners’ convention. This proposal was evidently agréed upon informally during the night, for it was only forty-five minutes from the time the meeting convened until the adjournment. President Mitchell at the close of the ses- sion gave out the following statement: The executive committee of the anthracite mine workers' organization have proposed that all questions at issue between themselves and the anthracite mine operators be submitted to an impartial board of arbitration, such board to be selected by the industrial branch of the National Civic Federation. This proposition has been sent to the operators by wire. The com- mittees are now awaiting replies. Telegrams announcing this action were sent to the presidents of the nine big coal collieries and several officers of the Civic Federation. President Mitchell declined to make public the full text of the tele- grams. To-night a telegram was recelved through a priyate source stating that Sen- ator Hanna had declared unequivocally that the report that arbitration had been refused by the operators was not true. It is the prevailing opinion here that unless the operators agree to arbitration or make some counter proposition which will contain a substantial concession the cgrfi:rmtee of miners will declare for a strike.

Five Evenly Balanced Teams Will Ride Over the Course. Ten years ago Sunday, Willlam Greer Harrison, then, as now, president of the Olympic Athletic Club, walked out into Market street and Grant avenue and, marking off a line on the stone-paved street with his walkingstick, said: “We] will start here.” This was for the first bicycle relay race ever held around the bay of San Fran- cisco, a distance of 100 miles. Each re- curring year this remarkable race has been run, and from the first it has not lost one iota of its popularity. At no place in the world has such an ideal course been discovered as that over which the race is run. There are fiye evenly balanced teams entered for the race on Sunday, represent- ing Bay, City Wheelmen, California Cy- cling Club, Garden City Wheelmen, Oak- land Wheelmen and San Francisco Wheel- | men.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 8.—At to-day's session of the Association of Police Chiefs | of the United States and Canada, Presi- | dent Sylvester read letters from numer- | ous prominent police officials in foreisn countries and the English, Chinese and Spanish Ministers at Washington, indors- ing the work of the association. All the | European police officials are heartily in | favor of an internationzl bureau of-iden- tification. On motion of Chief Dietsch of Cincinnati, all the foreigners were ten- | dered a vote of thanks. | “'At the meeting of the beard of directors | of the Bureau of Identification, Colonel | Phil Deitsch of Cincinnati was re-elected president and E.

It was decided that the Bertilion | clerks of the various-police departments ¥should meet in Washington, D. C., to | agree upon a uniform method of measur- ing criminals. Another meeting of the board will be held to-night, when papers will be read on professional criminals. | Chief Kiely of St. Louis read a paper on | “Can Criminals Reform?” holding that | they could be reformed. Chief of Police Francis O'Nelll of Chi- cago read a paper on ‘“Anarchy and A archists.” He sald the American an- | archists’ were much like the Russian ni- hilists. He said there were a great num- | ber of anarchists in Chicago, but they were no longer defiant and they were abls to make no moves which were not known | to the police. He regarded Emma Gold- man as one of the most dangerous and magnetic anarchists in the world and re- garded her as being responsible for Presi- dent McKinley’s assassination. Chief William Price of Vicksburg, Miss., contended in his address that hardened criminals could not be reformed. A paper on ‘‘Anarchy and Anarchists™ by Roderick Ross, Chief of the in- burgh (Scotland) Constabulary, was read by Secretary Carr. Ross believed in the confinement of anarchists until they were willing to_abide by the law. and said that thosé® who incited others to crime should be confined for life. Chief of [Police Henry Muth of Alle- gheny, spedking on “Crime,” said that the opium habit is responsible for more crime than any other vice.
