DEMPSEY AND LA BLANCHE,
The Nonpariels Ex-Trainer Severely Criticises
the California Athletic Club.

[Specialto THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch I
New YORK, Feb. 2S.-Denny Costigan,
Jack Dempsey's ex-trainer, is here and,
like Sammy Blackjack, is kicking against
the California Athletic club. The book
makers, according to the gentlemen, who
cannot carve duck, virtually control the

have whipped La Blanche if the California
Athletic club had given him fair deal.
Dempsey was the favorite in the betting.
Now there are whole lot of buffers in the
California Athletic club who are known as
sportsmen because they always take the
man who sells second choice in the betting
The original articles for the La Blanche
Dempsey fight called for the men to fight
at the usual weight for the middle weight
championship of the world. Ten days be-
fore the fight La Blanche told
Jack he could not fight for
the championship because he had found it
impossible to get down to weight In all
other matches where the sum OF Sc, 900 or
less is involved il has been customary at
the California club for the principal who is
over weight at the time prescribed for
weighing TO forfeit $500 or less, but there
was no provision of this kind in the Demp-
sey-La Blanche articles. We were in
formed by one of the club officials, who, to
my knowledge, has 81 500 on the marine
that the latter weighed 1919. When he
got into the ring offered TO bet that he
weighed more than one hundred and sixty
five pounds, but Hiram Cook didn't think
so and wouldn't permit second weighing.
Hiram Cook has made some pretty bad
breaks, and the quicker the club gets rid of
him, the better 1or the club. They are 10
good lot and Dempsey will find this out be-
fore long.

The Postal telegraph,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-A number Of
persons interested in postal telegraphy as
sembled in the House postoffice committee
this morning, to listen to Dr. Norvin Green,
president Of the Western Union Telegraph
company. Postmaster General Wanama-
ker with his assistant, Attorney General
Tyner, Gardner Hubbard and representa-
tives of different telegraph companies were
present. DIR. Green began his remarks by
discussing the merits and dement's of
European government telegraph systems.
He said that while in instances their
charges were lower than those in the
United States they were conducted at a
less. He presented table showing that
domestic companies had $1,000 stations and
over sixty million messages annually,
against $4,000 stations and Ia, 600, 900 mes
sages IN the regt of the world. They had
more than half of the entire mileage of
she world. The Western Union controlled

held by $3.50 persons in the United States.

believed the United States government had
no business with the management of his
telegraph. 1t could not manage il as
cheaply, it could not do it better. and none
OF the senders of kilograms had asked il.
1t was proposed to make rate of one half
OF the cost of sending messages and the de-
ticlency would have to be made by 81.
O0O,OOO WHO did not use the telegraph. The
reports Of the New York office of the
Western Union included 100000 annually

large class of telegraph users are stock
brokers and spectators and were those the
people who were to be protected and were
those the people in whose interest the peo
pie were to be taxed? If the governments
wanted to go into the telegraph business il
should buy the lines outright; it should not
assume to fix losing rates for existing com

would need as many lines as there were
now in existence to do the business. Here

were abundant telegraph facilities. This
was the way the postmaster general pro-
posed to supply the needs of $4,000, 900
people. This was the entering wedge of
a movement to break down the present
companies and establish acomplete govern
ment telegraph, and against that he pro-

DR.. Green then made a comparison be-
tween the American and English telegraph
systems, maintaining that our rates are in

Member Of the Spanish COrtes
Declares in Debate

Especial to THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch I
MADRID, Feb 2S-[B BY cable to the N. Y.
Herald. In the debate in the cortes on the
foreign Office budget, which closed last
evening, Senior Portuondo, a Cuban deputy,
made his promised Interpolation in refer
ence to the Pan American conference. He
expressed alarm lest the United States
should adopt South American policy in
furious to Spain.
Senior Revest, of the budget committee,
in reply, said that the South American
policy of the United States created alarm in
Europe, and was dangerous to the
whole Latin race. This policy had
always shown a profound dislike for
Spain and Spanish America. The Monroe
doctrine of America for Americans
really meant America for the United
States.
The minister of foreign affairs closed the
'debate by stating that the policy of the
present liberal government fostered
friendly relations with the South Ameri-
can states for the purpose of forming a
pan-American union. He believes the
conference at Washington was, in it's main
object, a fasco. The relations between
Spain and the United States were most
friendly despite the late proposition of the
Florida Senator relative to the purchase of
Cuba.

statement that he approached Taulbee
from behind and fired without giving him
warning is false. This statement is also
denied by others who were near when the
shot was fired. 1t is stated by Kincaids
friends that Taulbee repeatedly assaulted
him besides using extremely insulting Ian
guage towards him. From the number of
prominent people who called at the station
this evening to offer aid, it is evident that
kincaid is not without friends. At the

DISCORD AND HARMONY.
The Liederkranz, of st. Louis, is at Pains to
Offend German Singing Societies.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 2S.-There is discord
among the German singing societies of the
city. 1t is caused by the Liederkranz being
" too swell" for the other organizations.
Some time ago the LiederKranz determined
to get up a concert for the benefit of the
James b. Eads statue fund, and invited
the other societies TOGO operate with it.
They all complied, and every Sunday they
were rehearsed. 1t was noticed, however.
that the Liederkranz members were not
attending the rehearsals, and Mr. Froelich
was asked the reason. 80, the Liederkranz
do not need to rehearse; they know how to
sing" he replied. This was taken as an
insult by the other societies and caused
bad blood. Then, when the singing soce-
ties went to New Orleans to the Sanger
fest, there was more ill-feeling engendered
by the Liederkranz members riding in car
riages instead of marching. When they
returned to ST. Louis most of them de-
clared that they would not have anything
to do with the Eads concert or anything
else in which the Liederkranz was inter-
ested

rivals for the hand of a girl residing in East
Haven, settled their differences in the prize
ring early yesterday morning, the girl over
whom they fought acting as referee The
ring was pitched in a bar room and purse
of $50 was subscribed by the spectators.
Schab was taller than Powers and had the
advantage of longer reach, but up to the
twelfth round had the worst of the fight.
His right eye was closed and the faces of
both showed the effects of the hard blows
that they had received. At the beginning
of the thirteenth round Powers showed
signs of being winded, but fought pluckily
till the close of the twenty-seventh round,
when he threw up the sponge. During the
fight the referee impartially applauded
the work Of both contestants and
the fight, and announced herself as
well pleased with the result. The authori-
ties of East Haven will issue warrants for
the arrest of the contestants and referee.
