lie Relates the circumstances of His
Shooting by Loughborough.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-Max Rosen-
field, the young man who was shot by
Alexander Loughborough in a Suffer-
street saloon after the big Thanksgiving
Day football game, has at last made a
statement about the affair. He said:
when young Loughborough shot me
my hands were down, and l was going
away from him. He did not shoot in
self-detense; he shot deliberately"
ROsenteld then told how Loughbor-
ough dropped a dice on the floor, and
how he pointed ii out 20 him with his
cane. Instead of thanking him, Lough-
borough kicked the cane out of the way
and struck him. Rosenield returned the
blow and followed it up with several
others. When he thought he had pun
Ished Loughborough enough he walked
away, and it was then he was shot.
Whitehouse, the other young man who
fell a victim to Loughborough's pistol,
corroborated Rosenteld's story. White
house said that when Loughborough
passed him in the scut1le with ROsenfeld
he caught him by the shoulder and pulled
him away. One of Loughborough's
friends then struck Whitenouse, and the
latter devoted all his attention to his as
sailant. From that time he did not see
Loughborough until he was shot.
According to the stories of both the
wounded men, no one but Rosenfeld
struck the shooter. Loughborough claims
that he was assaulted by several men,
and that he shot in self-deiense.

a Mixture of Boxing, Wrestling and
Talkfng-Declared a Draw.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 6.-The Johnson
Maher contest took place in the Olympic
Club arena tonight in the presence of the
largest number of spectators that ever
assembled in the club on prize fight oc-
casion. The men fought for purse of
Sl,5O0. OF which 500 was to go to the
loser.
The fight from start to finish was
mixture OF boxing, wrestling and talk
ing, with more than the usual abuse by
the tongue, which the principals gave
each other. Each lick seemed TO be ac-
companled by curse, and in the twenty
fourth round the men were wrestling so
tiercely that the referee had to separate
them. From a scientific point of view
the affair was magnificent fz2le, and
the ring in which the men fought was
plowed up to such an extent as to make
the audience believe the men had been
fighting week. Maher was taller than
his opponent, and should have won the
battle, though he seemed to lack the
physical form necessary to do so. In the
twenty-tfth round, Maher being forced
down IN the clinch, took several seconds
on the floor. and after rising the men
wrestled bit more. At the end of the
twenty-hfth round Referee Dufy's de-
cision declaring the fight draw was re-
ceived with rounds Of applause.

roads, he was willing to agree that if
such pooling should be allowed it should
be under the direct control of response
bic commission. He offered a substitute
to meet his objections to the bill.
Henderson tRep.) of Iowa asked if the
fact that small shippers. under pooling
system, would be able to get the ad-
vantages of the low rates now given big
shippers would not justify the passage of
law legalizlng pooling.
Cooper replied that that was the only
consideration which could induce him to
vote TO authorize pooling, but he would
not do so unless safeguards and reStric-
uons not contained in this bill were pro-
vided to prevent the abuse of this pro-
posed enlargement of the charter powers
OF the railroads.
Gresham Dem.) of Texas and Moore
(Rep.) of Massachusetts spoke in favor
of the bill, and Daniels followed in oppo-
SitiOn.
At the conclusion of Daniels argu-
ment, the House, at 400 P. NJ, adjourned

INIPORTANr DECIsION.

Sleeping Car Companies Liable for
Losses Sustained by It's Passengers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-Justice of
the Peace Cook rendered a decision to-
day against the Pullman Palace Car
Company in the suit of Charles Peak
against that corporation. The plaintiff
sought to recover the value of coat and
vest stolen from him while occupying
berth in one of the company's cars on a
trip to Los Angeles last June.
In an extended review of the testimony,
the Justice said: "It was in proof that
near midnight the plaintiff went into the
smoking-room of the car and there found
he cOlored porter. whose duty it was to
keep watch and ward over the car and its
occupants, sound asleep. . While
the plaintif was asleep some unknown
person removed his coat and vest from
hook at the berth he occupied. Hue and
cry were made on the following morn
ing, and all the officers and servants of
the company were notified of the loss.
III, through want of care, the personal
effects OF a passenger are stolen, the COM
pany is liable and cannot avoid its liabil-
Ity by posting in a car a notice disclaim-
ing responsibility. Notice printed on
tickets or checks can in no way limit the
liability OF carriers. = x y paSSeu-
ger cannot be expected to come into car
naked. If a passenger cannot have pro-
lection for the clothes he wears; if he can
not be allowed to undresS and go to bed
with the knowledge that his personal
effects are under careful guard,
then the sleeping-car service is a delu-
sion and a snare. Instead of being
place of rest, where a passenger can sleep,
feeling himself secure from thieves, it be-
comes robbers rookery."
In giving judgment TOR the plaintiff
Justice Cook held that the Pullman Com
pany was under all circumstances re-
quired by law to make good the losses
sustained by travellers while riding in its
cars.
