The Fitzsimmons-M Maher Fight the ALI
Absorbing Topic I'm New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, March 1.-The Fitzsim-
mons-Maher fight is beginning to assume a
somewhat sectional aspect All the north
ern sports are backing Maher, while the
southern contingents are plunging on Fitz-
simmons. At the pool rooms it is even
money and take your choice. There has
probably never been fight in the history
of the ring where less was known Of the
condition and fighting capacity of at least
one Of the contestants.
Maher is practically an unknown quauti-
ty. He has weight in his favor, say those
who are regarded as experts in fist
ic matters, but that is all. The
current of opinion is that his mettle
never has been tried as 1t will be
tomorrow night. The fight is the all alb
sorbing topic, and even the historical
struggle between Sullivan and Kilrain did
not attract a larger share of the curiosity
Of the public.

The indictments have resulted In the
prosecution of the whisky trust officials,

that Of tamperiEg with members of the
grand jury and OF attempting to prevent
the finding OF an indictment. The mat
ter has been kept exceedingly quiet.
District Attorney Allen does not deny
that indictments have been found, so
