The Evenings Fight.

Many OF those present had witnessed tho
tight between Howard Wilson and Joe Bur-
nett some weeks ago. when the latter fought
Wilson to a stand-stilL The match at that
time was declared a draw. but the decision
was unpopular and unjust. for Burnett
won. The friends OF Wilson claimed he was
out Of condition. and he looked It. After
the tight the friends and hackers OF both
boys came together and arranged for %
match TO a finish with five-ounce gloves for
G purse OF $500 and a side bet OF Sl5o Last
night the match was decided and Wilson
won in thirty OF the hottest kind of rounds
The men entered the ring accompanied by
their seconds. who proved their efficiency
later in the evening. Each one was greeted
with liberal applause. No time was lost In
getting ready. number Of wagers were
laid and large amount of money changed
hands on the result Wilson was attended
by Jack DAILY of Wilmington and George
Nash. while Burnett had Tony Stannard
and the veteran Jack Bolan In his corner.
Both men were trained to an edge and
looked Mt. The first ten rounds Of the fight
can best be described as a series OF wild
PUSHES and close in fighting. with the best
OF II all on Wilson's side. In the eleventh
round Burnett was distressed and hugged
the ropes. He could have been put out then
had the crowd not rushed into the ring
The referee ordered the men to the center
and by that time Burnett had rallied. II
was ding dong after that for ten rounds
more. the bell saving Burnett at least three
times. The seconds did nobly with their
charges and kept them In fine shape
throughout the long fight Wilson, cheered
by his friends. fought on the offensive,
while Burnett played a waiting game, now
ana then essaying a rush which Wilson
promptly met. Both men fought with des-
peration worthy OF better cause, and
when at the opening OF the thirty first
round Burnett threw UP the sponge, II was
by no means cowardly act. He had fought
himself out and only ceased through sheer
exhaustion. The crowd cheered him for
his gameness, but he did not heed them
He was all gone. Wilson was lifted bodily
by his friends and carried about the ring
IT was by all odds the fiercest fight seen
hereabouts for q long time and the best
man won

over the ring, and swung his left with
great force. He missed his mark by two
feet. but the pressure of air was so great
that Watson took a rest on the floor until
the round was over. The Sc yond round was
even more ludicrous. Watson fought like
the boxing kangaroo. and whenever he got
near the floor took a rest. Just before the
bell rang he gently laid down, and making

to count him out. Then he made a wild

1t is not admitted by Senator HIS
friends that he Is weak because he
yielded. They say he withdrew his OPP
position in the interest of party unity.

to the Anti-Snappers that there was
time when the machine did not want
harmony II II required the conclilation
OF the division of offices with the Anti
Snappers.
w men SENATOR NH ltll
chair there was not a Republican OF
any Importance left in office. Every
office was filled by a Democrat 10 per
cent of whom were of the machine
stripe.
The Anti-Snappers were regularly
ignored They were neither recognized
In conventions, in party councils nor
in the distribution of offices. Like good
Democrats. however, they voted the
Democratic ticket and thereby helped to
keep the machine in power. NOW they
have a State organization of their own,
and they have openly declared their in
tention to oppose the machine.
1t was the boast year or two ago
Of Senator Hin. his colleague. Senator
Murphy, Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, Richard
Croker and Mayor Gilroy that they
could get along without the "kickers.,
Then the "kickers" were not organized;
There Is danger now from organized
opposition, hence the desire, 1t rs said,
to harmonic.
Those familiar with the situation say
that Senators Hill and Murphy would
not have made the same concessions
two years ago. They didn't want har-
mony then. The machine got everything
without harmony.
Anti-Snappers say that the harmony
cry 10 merely raised to deceive them
but that they will not be caught by the
trick. They have chance to beat the
ma chine and they vow they will.

by Labor Commissioner Carroll ID.
Wright. might Just as well shut up shop
and adjourn sine die.
OF course, this would mean leaving
Its business unfinished, but 1t doesn't
make a cents worth of difference to any
human being whether 1t brings its bust
ness to formal ending or not. As far
40 any public acceptance Of its verdict
10 concerned it's business Is finished. and
finished very completely.
Chairman Wright has been asked what
truth there was in. the current rumor
that ne was Investigating the Pullman
strike with Pullman pass in his pocket,
and promptly answered that he had
such o pass. 1t is an annual pass, and
he uses II whenever he wants to.
Mr. Wright is very frank about 1t. He
says: II use II whenever ] please. The
pass was given to me by Mr.. Pullman,
who is 4 personal friend of mine. and
hHve had II for several years-ever since
the first Pullman investigation l made
for I suppose that's what you are driv-
ing ct. never knew Mr.. Pullman until
then, but met him at that time. and he
has always been a warm friend OF mine
since then. He gave me the pass and
invited me to ride on his cars whenever
/ wanted to, just as man would invite
another to take a ride In his carriage"
Mr.. Wright is probably sincere in the
belief that his possession Of Pullman
pass and his warm personal friend
ship for Mr.. Pullman do not disqualify
him TO 81. IN judgment on the merits Of
the bitter controversy between the Pull
man Company and Its employees. but he
is, to say the least, mistaken. At any
rate he cannot expect. and he has no
right to expect, the working people to
agree with him. and It would not do to
ask public opinion to accept any verdict
lrom him as impartial. This is ques-
ton about which there can be no diff
ference of opinion.
what a provident, far-sighted. long
headed act of generosity 1t was in Mr..
Pullman, a great employer of labor. to
