INTEREST AT KILRAIN'S HOME.
Gloom Pervados Baltimore on the Announce.
ment of Jake's Defeat.

BALTIMORE, July &-No sporting event has
excited an interest in Baltimore equal to that
which centered in the Sullivan -Kilrain fight to-
day. So universal was the anxiety to hear the
result of the contest that many did little else
during the day than inquire about the latest
news. Fully 1000 persons were collected about
the newspaper bulletin boards this morning,
eagerly awaiting news from the ring.
The sentiment of the crowd was favorable to
the Baltimore pugilist, and deep gloom per-
vaded the faces of most of those in the throng
after the posting of the rumor that the ''big
fellow" had actually won the fight. A troop Of
small boys paraded Baltimore street cheering
wildly for the Boston man, while men stood
silently upon the sidewalk with gloomy faces,
hoping against fear and striving to discredit
the rumor of their favorite's defeat.
The bookmakers say that although Sullivan
was the favorite in this city, many dollars were
placed on Kilrain.

QUARANTINE SERVICE CRIPPLED.
Congressional False Economy Responsible
for the Calamity.

WASHINGTON, July 6-Letters were mailed
Saturday by the Surgeon General of the
Marine Hospital Service to the officers in
charge of the chief quarantine stations notifying
them OF the reduction in the appropriation for
the quarantine service for the current fiscal
year. By reason of this reduction. three quar-
antine stations on the Atlantic coast, one on
the Gulf and two on the Pacific coast will be
closed onthe 1st.of October. The estimates for
this service for the current fiscal year, sub
mitted by the Surgeon General, aggregated
$4,000 This was cut down by the House to
$4,000 restored by the Senate to the original
amount, and in the conference reduced to
$4,000. As this amount is entirely insufficient
to maintain all the quarantine stations now in
operation throughout the year, two only Will
be kept open, namely, the one at San Francisco
and one on the Gulf coast. The stations to be
closed will be left in charge of keeper.

CONFUSION In SAN FRANCISCO.
Conflicting Reports Cause Some People "a
Lose Their Money.

SAN FRANCISCO, July S-The interest dis
played in this city over the result Of the New
Orleans fight was almost unprecedented.
Great crowds surrounded the newspaper bulle-
tin boards and had the benefit of all character
of conflicting kilograms. To add to the con-
fusion this afternoons papers not having regu-
lar press report, brought out extras as late as
4:3O o. clock in the afternoon announcing that
Kilrain had won and even money was wagered
in pool rooms up to 5 o'clock. In the mean
time definite announcement had been made in
the 2o'clock edition of the paper receiving the
regular press report that Sullivan had won.
while the regular edition at o'clock contained
the full Associated Press summary of the
fight, which caused betting to cease. The
amount of money laid on the result was very
large.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrArcHa
BALTIMORE, Jnly S.-Not even the Presi-
dental election caused SO much and such in
tense excitement in the city as did the mill in
New Orleans. To-day has developed the fact
that the keenest interest has been felt by peo-
pie who all along have given no outward mani
festation. All day there have been crowds
about the bulletin boards, and the extras have
been eagerly bought up. one paper having pub
lished as many as five editions. The feeling,
Of course, is, as a general rule. one
Of intense disappointment, and long faces
can be seen at every street corner. Even those
who have won on Sullivan make no display of
enthusiasm, as their sympathy has been with
Kilrsin. though their judgment has been the
other way. A great deal of surprise has been
manifested at the way in which the fight was
given up by Kilrain, as It was thought he would
certainly hold out in the event Of prolonged

TIE DULUTH RIOT.

The deplorable affair at Duluth yes
terday afternoon is one of those Incl
dents of strike which place the work
ingmen at a great disadvantage, and
rob the cause of labor of much of the
public sympathy and support that it is
entitled TO. At this distance from the
scene it is impossible to say who is
blamable for the disturbance at Duluth.
and who is responsible for the killing O
the unfortunate men. While we refrain
from expressing an opinion Oh this
point, we do say without any sort Of
hesitation that presence of the officers
of the law ought to have been respected
by the strikers, and no provOcatlon
should have been sufficient to have
caused an attack upon those whose
sworn duty 1t is to uphold the law and
to preserve the peace. We know that IL
sometimes occurs that policemen are
too hasty in the use of firearms, nor do
they always exhibit that forbearance
which the eXigencieS demand. Still, it
must be remembered that the badge
they wear is the symbol of the
laws majesty, and as such is
entitled to the respect of all good citi-
zens, whatsoever the conduct of the
Individual who wears the badge may
be. If he exceeds his authority there is
way provided by the law for dealing
with him, so that there can be no idsti-
fication for violence such as was mani
tested by the strikers at Duluth yester-
day. 1t is generally the unfortunate
presence of the reckless element in
these strikes that serves to bring re-
proach upon the labor cause, and none
are made more sensible of this fact than
the peaceable, law-abiding worklngmen
who condemn such exhibitions of law
1essness equally with the capitalistic
classes. AS for the police authorities,
it is their duty to maintain the dignity
of the law and to preserve the peace of
the community, even if human life has
to be sacrificed in the effort.

Spelling HISTORY.

1t isn't of very great practical con-
Germ as to what white man first dis
covered the Mississippi river, or what
little stream that people can jump over
is called its head. But when man gets
into the school books and history as the
first finder and has not himself got lost,
there should be some way of keeping
the reckless iconoclasts from getting in
their work. Here is FERNANDO DE
SoTo, who discovered the big river in
1912. This is evident from the picture
of the scene on the back of the bank
notes taken from the original photo
graph, just as De SOTO sat upon his
praneing charger, with his crowd about
him, getting ready for the discovery. If
the picture is not truthful, can the bills
be good? A writer in one OF the July
magazines seems to prove from Spanish
history that A. DE PINEDA. deceased
Spaniard, sailed up the Mississippi six
leagues in 1919, and BANCROFT has an
other discoverer in 1928. 1t was on
Spanish map in 1920. The river was as
large, no doubt, then as now, and one
travelling in the vicinity could hardly
help finding it; but this practice of
spelling history and pictures OH bank
notes ought to be stopped.
