THEY WILL FIGHT.
Dan Stuart Says So and He Ought TO
Know.

huOW.
DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 3.-Dalas people
thronged the streets discussing the news
from Austin and the general sentiment
is that the question is finally settled and
that all idea of holding ttb CorDett-Fi;z-
simmons mill here must be abandoned.
Said Dan Stuart TO an Associated Press
correspondent: "The contest will not
come off in Texas. We have proceeded SO
far under the law. We did not touch
a stick of timber till the highest judicial
tribunal of Texas in criminal matters de-
cided there was no law against glove con-
tests on the statute books. The Legisla-
ture was called in to remedy the defective
law and that is an end OF il. -
"What plans have you now?' was
asked.
''That is a matter to be determined by
the Florida Athletic Club" said Mr.
Stuart.
1.-The officers of the club will meet here
or in New York and decide. We have
three points in view as location"
"Where are they?' was asked.
''That / cannot say. The club must
first decide the new order of things" was
the reply.
"Then what do you think OF the Gov
ernor's course?'
~ have nothing to say in criticism of
the Governor" said Stuart. "He has
done what he thinks is his duty. j have
proceeded under the law as it was, fairly
ana squarely doing my best TO keep my
contract wit n all concerned. i will still
proceed under the law as 1T IL and hunt
other fields. You see ! am now, and
have been strictly law-abiding.
"When will your CLUB get Strengthened
out again?' Mr.. Stuart was asked.
''That will take a few days conference,
but rest assured no time will be lost. ~
"Then the contest will come off?' was
suggested, as wind-up OF the interview.
ayes, sir; the contest is coming OFF, but
more of that hereafter.
l.. NJ. Houseman, sporting editor OF
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, received the
following telegram from Dan Stuart,
president OF the Florida Athletic Club:
"Having never intended the breach OF
law and one having passed the Legisla-
ture, / will surely bring the contest off
on the cate advertised at point outside
of Texas, OF easy access. Due notice OF
the scene of contest will be given in a
few days"
