H. Schneider, for- | merly of Oakland, Cal, but who has lived | at Tucson for about two years, through James A. Seabriskie, ex-United States At- | torney for Arizona, first broughjy the mat- ter to the attention of the General Land | Office. i Seabriskie advised Commissioner Her- | mann that he had a client who could ex- | | pose great irregularities in the taking up and disposing of Government lands. Schneider had been connected with land | operators in California for a number of | years and was familiar with the methods of taking up land just before it was re- | served. He had fallen out with his asso- | | ciates, and after coming to Arizona agreed to expose them. | ‘ Commissioner Hermann advised Colonel | Seabriskie, attorney for Schneider, that “ an arrangement by which testimony could | | be taken would be made, and S.

[N 105 ANGELES {Southern City Is to Be Closed to the Glove Artists. Special Dispatch to The Call. | LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24—From .and after next Monday there will be a closed season for prize fighting in Los| Angeles twelve months in the year. As a result of recent disgraceful exhibitions ‘of pugilism in this city and certain fake fights, a crusade against all prize fight- | ing has been inaugurated, which is al-| most certain to result in shutting this | city against pugilists. City Attorney Matthews has been di- rected by the City Council to prepare an ordinance forbidding, under heavy penal- | ties, all glove contests. If that ordinance is passed in its present form prize fight- | ing, boxing contests and all similar sport- | ing events will be barred. At a meeting | | of a committee of the City Council to-| | day it was determined to issue instruc- | tions to make the ordinance as drastic as it was possible to draw it, and it 1s certain | that six of the nine members of the City | Council will support it and that Mayor Snyder will approve it. | On the part of those who manage pugi- | istic contests there is almost certain to | | be a contest in the court, inasmuch as | they will endeavor to secure the recogni- | tion of licenses already issued to them | and which are good for one year. The | terms of the ordinance will be such as to | revoke all existing licenses. { The penalty provided in the proposed ordinance will be a fine of not less than $1000 for engaging in a glove contest, and there will also be a section of the new messure which will make it a misdemean.- or for any person to attend such a contest under penalty of a fine not to exceed $100. Los Angeles has long been a Mecca for fake fighters, and numerous bouts have been held here in which the result showed that the fights were fixed and that the affairs were simply intended to part the public from its money. The result will be that prize-fighting in Los Angeles will be forbidden by law. The crusade against pugilistic events has been carried on by various organizations, lastly by the lead- ing commercial bodies, and with the sup- package for a copy of the ook, “The Road to Well- famous little b vile J port of such the City ‘Councll 15 expected to make it impossible for & repetition of zecent fake fights. y | the days when I was a scoffer like oth- ers.

CORSETS FOR MEN THE LATEST DECAEE Ridiculed for Years, They Are at Last Heralded as Practical and Essential, HEALTH AND EASE MUCH AIDED BY THEM pebeasn s S e ‘Wearers Tell of Improvement Wrought and an American Lady Corset Com- pany Undertakes Task of Converting Men to Their Use. RS EEEEEN After years of ridicule, Parisian and other foreign makers of fashions have | at last decreed that corsets for men | shall become a reality. They are being | made and are being worn, and while the | adoption will no doubt be made with | some trepidation on the part of men, they are, nevertheless, being called a | blessing by those who are daring to be- | | come the pioneers in making corsets a | regular part of their attire. | These men's corsets are the product of | an American Lady Corset Company lo- | cated at Detroit, Mich. This concern, whose name is known wherever corsets | are worn by either sex, has set about the | task of popularizing men's corsets, | knowing full well the existence of the false prejudice and of the ridicule they are courting and must overcome. | The promoters of this innovation do' not expect the immediate arrival of a masculine corset craze. Realizing they are offering an article that for genera- ! tions has been held up to scorn, there is something more than sentiment in their | intention. They believe that corsets for men lutely practical and essen- | that a campaign in fa- ets must be a campaign of education, and that is what they are inaugurating. 1 the average man were asked the | on: “Would you wear a corset?” | vould throw up his hands and quickly | nswer, “No.” But that would probably be because he knows nothing of the arti- cle, of its uses or of its value. Many | men who said slx months ago they would not wear corsets are wearing them to- day and swearing by them, and declaring the one great mistake the arbiters of fashion have made has been in not de- ng long, long ago that men should rset clad. Not Merely a Fashion. | But it is not merely for fashion that | this new articde of wear has been de- vised. The health and gomfort of the wearers formed the first consideration. The same rule applies to men's corsets that appl to women's corsets. Women | accept corsets as ordinary articles of at- | tire. Though they sometimes misappro- priate them by tight lacing, yet any wo- man who wears & well-fitting corset will say it never hothers h on the contrar; movement in walking, and is really an exhilarating brace. For the new men" corsets no more than that is claimed, bu just that much is claimed. Now, these men's corsets are mnot aimed to give to men any ridiculous shape or to make them appear effemi- nate. Yet it is possible to give shape to the figure, but whether or not the form is given a curve at the sides and back re- | | mains wholly at the will of the wearer. | The other day the writer met a well- | built man who is a wearer of the new corset. He unblushingly confessed to wearing it. | “If there is any ridicule to be pointed | at any one it is at the man who does not | wear a corset,” he said. “I feel more | comfortably dressed than ever I did in | chest, you will see, i{s thrown out and feel perfectly at rest. Were there noth- ing else to recommend these corsets this | alone would insure their permanent ac- ceptance.” This man is a corset enthusiast, and yet he is a sane, sensible fellow, who does mnot_run to fads or to ridiculous things. He wants, and gets, what gives | him comfort, and that is why he is wear- ing a man's corset. He says it is rest- ful to the spine, that it makes him stand erect, step more lightly and breathe deeper. 2 Corsets for men are not altogether a In Europe, and espectally in many and France, the men in the mies wear them. The striking, erect ! re of the European soldier can, in a | great measure, be attributed to the wear- | ing of a corset. Following the lead of the soldiers, many of the best dressed and most highly cultured gentlemen of Surope have found them comfortable and essential. They have learned what American men will in time learn, that they are a great aid to correct poise and splendid appearance. | Slouchiness Will Disappear. A man’s physique can be trained into its proper lines by the use of a proper corset. This would, at first, be a virtual disguise for the figure, but what at first will be a disguise will become a natural form, and instead of being round- | shouldered, flat-chested, and with promi- | nently protruding stomach, the corset wearer will possess the form of a real man. more like the Romans or Greeks of old than like our slovenly appearing, stooping men of to-day. i Corset-wearing men have always been | ridiculed because a few fops have at| times affected the article and have taken | pains to make the fact known. In the| time of Queen Elizabeth there was a fop at court who wore a corset, the purpose of which was to compress the waist and give the man an effeminate appearance. | The corset was more like a coat of armor | than anything else. The new American Gentleman corset in no way resembles that old atrocity. Corset Has Come to Stay. | Of course, the corset custom would | furnish the masses with new food for | ridicule, and especially would this be! true if the corset impaired the health of | the wearer. But it does not do this, nor | will it ever. i The introduction of men’s corsets will be attended with many difficulties. That much is to be expected. There is preju- dice against it. deep-rooted, long-lived | prejudice, but its champions are certain this prejudice will pass away. —— e Dr. Tyndall’s Lectures. Dr. McIvor-Tyndall will lecture at Steinway Hall to-night on ‘The World | Invisible.” Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall has the | advantage of belonging to no special | creed or cult or ism, and whatever- he has to say about psychological research | will be both sclentific and convincing. | That there is an invisible world about us, unperceivable to the ordinary physical senses, is a hypothesis that 1is Jjust now attracting the attention of experimental science. ‘What Dr. Meclvor-Tyndall has to say on the subject will be eagerly awaited by the inquiring. unprejudiced thinker. The lecture alone should at- tract an immense audience. There will be, however, a programme of fascinat- ing, mystifying phenomena in the reaim of thought vibration, clairvoyance and psychic impression, so arranged as to make it an entertaining and instructive feature of the evening. ‘Willopi Tribe’s Ball. ‘Willopi Tribe of Red Men gave its sec- ond annual ball in Union-square Hall last night.

Conference Takes No Action on Resolution Concern- ing Divorce. kit "L WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. — The Pan- American Conference of Bishops to-day adopted resolutions that “It be com- mended to all Bishops and other clergy, first, to familiarize themselves with the great political and economical questions which to-day in all lands are dividing men, and then to point out how their so- lution can be found, not so much in or- ganization, but in application to daily life of the principles and example of Jesus Christ."” The resolutions regarding co-operation with other Protestant communions sug- gest that the governing bodies of the church lay before the Presbyterlan Gen- eral Assembly and the Methodist General Conference the contents of the paper read | by the Coadjutor Bishop of Montreal on | the points of agreement and disagreement between Protestant churches. The reso- lution asks these Protestant communions | to consider seriously the subject of church unity, “with a view to arriving at | intercommunion and possible union of them in the United States through the composition of some of the differences and the recognition that others do not constitute sufficlent reasons for creating or continuing a rupture.” The conference did not take a vote on the proposed resolution relating to the divorce question and action on that sub- ject was postponed.

AT VERTISEMENTS. TOOK A STRAW VOTE. Interesting Experiment in a Restau- S rant. An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant. While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- vertisement of a well known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets, he began speculating as to how many of the other traveling men in the dining room were also friends of the popular remedy for indigestion. He says: I counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office I took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twenty-three made a practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets after each meal. One of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free from in- digestion, but he continued their use, es- pecially while traveling, on account of irregularity in meals and because like all traveling men he was often obliged to eat what he coud get and not always what he wanted. Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward be- cause he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of a sleep- less night or any other trouble, Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres- sure on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly. Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common goda to relieve the trouble, but the tab- lets were much better and safer to use. After smoking, drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive or- gans, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so effectual- ly as Stuart’s Tablets. Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux, hydrastin and yellow parilla, and can be safely relied on as a radical cure for every form of pdor digestion.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—The Lake-street Elevated Rallroad Company, capitalized at $10,000,000, was placed in the hands of a recelver to-day in pursuance to a reso- lution passed by the board of directors asking for the appointment. The order wasg entered in the Cook County Circuit Court by Judge Tuttle, who appointed the Equitable Trust Company receiver for all property of the company. In the bill, which was filed by James Bolton and Danlel E. Crilly, stockholders in the com- pany, it is alleged the company is hope- lessly insolvent and that this condition has resulted “from the reckless extrava- gance and fraudulent conduct of Charles T. Yerkes and his assoclates, and the mismanagement of Clarence A. Knight and his representatives.” The complainants further declare that the purpose of Yerkes and his associates “4s to wreck and destroy the said road, with the view of acquiring the same at a sacrifice and thereby eliminating and cu ting off the rights of other stockholders. Yerkes and his associates, it is averred, control a majority of the stock of the company and have the power to continue their hold thereupon through the election and retention of a board of directors sub- servient to their wishes. President Knight to-night ridiculed the charges made in ‘the petition for the re- ceivership. “I should not dignify these charges with & serious answer,” sald he. “If the court proceedings are based on charges of mismanagement against the officers of the company, then the direc- tors who authorized the filing of the bill are charging themselves with mismanage- ment, because they constitute a majority of the board, and they approved all the acts of the officers. *'Fhere has been a threat of litigation for some time in order to attack the lease made by the Lake Street Company in 1896 to the Union Loop Company. This probably is behind the present proceed- ings. The charges of mismanagement were in all probability made for the pur- pose ot giving the 'court jurisdiction to appoint a receiver. “The allegations about Charles T. Yerkes' domination of affairs of this company are also ridiculous. In 191 Mr. Yerkes practically severed his connection with the Lake Street Company and a year ago he sold his few remaining shares. He has not now a dollar's worth of interest in the company either in stocks or bonds. In my opinion there was not sufficient ground shown for the appoint- ment of a receiver. We shall resist this proceeding.™ CHAMPIONSHIP IS WON BY BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL Outcome of Football Game Is in Doubt Up to the Last Moment. BERKELEY, Oct. 2{.—The Berkeley High School football eleven won the championshig of the Central Academic League this afternoon at Idora Park by defeating the Oakland High School eleven by a score of 6 to 0. The game was full of excitement from the kick-off and the outcome was in doubt up to the last few minutes. In the first half neither side scored. Oakland held the ball most of the time, but the play was nearly all In its part of the field. In the second half Oakland tried a field goal from the thirty- yard line. The ball missed going over the bar by a foot. Then while about to try another kick Oakland fumbled the ball, a Berkeley man got it and, having a clear fleld before him, ran through for a touchdown. The fumble was made by Roberte, who let a ball that was passed too high by Center Gage pass through his hands. Patton, Berkeley's fullback, saw the misplay and, catching the ball, ran to the goal line without opposition, Shingle, the right end, interfering for him. Patton afterward kicked the goal, making six points. The line-up follows: Berkeley—Shingle, right end; Shuey, right tackle; Witcher right guard; Peck, center; Kerr, left guard; Solinsky, left tackle; Steele, left end; Schaffer, quarter; Duggan, right half; Patton, full; Hack~ ley, left half. Oakland—Malcolm, right end; Spragu right tackle: Davis, right guard; Ga center; Shay left guard: Harrold, left tackle; Cushman, left end; Locke, quar+ ter; Snowdon, right half: Roberts, fullj Swent, left half. —_— Precita’s Masguerade.
