HELD FOR GRAND LARCENY.
Startling Revelations in the New O
leans "Boodle" Cases.


leans Doodle" Cases,
New Orleans, Oct. 19.-Louis A. Gour-
dain, president of the American Bond
Guarantee Company, head of several lot
terry enterprises and man of wealth,
was indicted to-day on three counts for
obtaining money under false pretenses,
embezzlement and grand larceny.
Gourdain has been recognized as the head
of the lottery concerns that have been
operating here and elsewhere, and was
lately indicted and tried at Topeka, Kans,
for sending lottery circulars through the
mail, and was convicted.
The present indictment grows out Of
the Doodle trials and is an accusation
against Gourdain of blackmail But it
was discovered that there was no law
against blackmail in Louisiana, and the
grand jury, after wrestling with the mat
ter some weeks, was finally compelled TO
find an Indictment for grand larceny
Ex-Councilman Louis Desforges, who
was the head of the boodlers In the city
council, became alarmed when he found
that he was being pursued SO vigorously.
Gourdain, 1t is said, came to him and
offered TO straighten matters out for him
and particularly TO stop the attacks being
made on him by one of the New Orleans
papers with which he (Gourdain) was sup
posed TO have great influence. Desforges
paid him IS 900. Gourdain could do moth
ing, or at least failed to do anything, but
refused to surrender the money.
1t is rumored that others OF the bood-
lers were similarly fleeced, and that
lagre amount was paid by them in the
hope that they would escape the clutches
of the law.

ma" Newell, the Cornell coach, has
been changing his eleven about, and may
succeed in getting a good team. Beach
man and Tausig will play the ends, and
Wyckoff will play quarterback. The other

The racing meeting at Elkton begins this

The much-anticpated football game be-
tween Princeton and Harvard will take

decision was reached whOn1it was found
that no other date could be arranged.

Bullitt, who will make his debut on left
end for the Virginia University team in
the game with Pennsylvania to-day, is a
light man, but he is said to be lightning

lucky for men Of his Glass; and claims that
title for Virginia also.

CRACK RIDERS MEET TO-DAY.
All Is Ready for the Washington Road
Club Event.

All Is Ready for the Washington Road
Club Event.
There is every promise that the bicycle
meet at Van Ness Park this afternoon, un-
der the auspices of the Washington Road
Club, will be a great success.
The delightful weather and the list OF
entries, which for quality of the riders has
never been better for a similar event here,
will be sure to draw big crowd.
At an early hour this morning many Of
the men who will start In the races were
out on the track taking a breezer and linn
bering up, and at some time during the
morning every man who expects to try
for the prizes was on hand.
While all of the races have much inter
est manifested in them, the handicaps, as
heretofore stated by The Times, are the
events in which everybody seems to be
bound up These two races will be stub
bornly contested by the very best riders in
the District, and the friends of each are
greatly worked up.
Notwithstanding the heavy handicap put
on Fred Schade he is still q decided fayorite
In the twe-mile race, and more than a few
dollars are being put up on the result of it.
Schade also is the favorite for the one mile
paced race. Good judges of local riders
say it is difficult to see how he can be
beaten for it.

Why LANEY bob OBJECTS
he Wants to Fight for the Cham
pionship Title.
Sullivan Thinks 1t Should He Great
Battle IL IL Comes Off and That
Either Man May Win.

The action of FitzsimmOns in declaring
limited round go with Corbctt, as the
Florida Athletic Club have arranged for
at Hot Springs, was the cause of great
deal of discussion among sporting men
here to-day. Some upheld FitzsimmOns,
while the admirers OF Corbctt accused him
OF being afraid. A little thought Will con-
vince almost anyone that the stand FitZ-
simmons has taken is Il reasonable one.
There is no rule of the ring under which a
limited round contest could be construed
into championship contest. A cham
pionslip can only BE- won by Il fight TO n
finish. II Corbctt should beat FitZsim-
mons within the limit that would be quite
satisfactory to him. He would still be
champion, and he would have disposed of
Fitzsimmons to the satisfaction, perhaps,
of everybody else.
Fitzsimn1ons occupies different ground.
He is not champion. He wants to be.
That is what he wants 10 fight Corbett for.
If Corbett didn't hold The championship
title FitZsimmons probably wouldn't bother
his head about him. But suppose Fitz-
simmons whips Corbett in the proposed linn
itcd go? Corbett is still champion, and he
can hold that title and run his show on i t
according to all ring law until he is whip
ped In a finish fight.
That is the point FiiZsimmons is quib-
bling over, and he is right. Bob wants to
run a show, too, and he wants TO run it
on the very card that COrbett runs his
show-if he can get it.
Jim Hall is not pleased with the prospect
of Joe ChOynski and Dan Crecdon getting
together. Hall says he has been trying to
make a match with Choynski for six months,
but that Joe evidently wants an easier game
than his. Choynski would have the better
of Hall in weight, but he would have a much
bigger advantage in this respect over
Cree,lon.
Sullivan is not sure who will win the
Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight. even If it
comes off.
II hope in my heart" he says, "the fight
goes through; the future OF boxing depends
on its final outcome. They are knocking
the game all over the country, but 1t will
rise again as sure as you live. Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett are both good fellows,
and they should be allowed to box. when

good fellow.
''Who do / think will win? Well, as
said, have no choice in the matter. 1t
will be fight for keeps, and both men will
do their level best to win. Corbett is a
clever man and so is Fitzsimmons. They
The evening times., 1895-10-19

know how to use their hands, and they are
no novices at the game. FitZsimmons is
said to be a hard puncher; so Is Corbett.
He can hit as good as anyone, and I'm sure
/ ought to know.
How long do think 1t Will last? Well,
to be plain, haven't the faintest idea. 1t
should go about twenty rounds, IL anything.
The men will fight cautious at first, but
will no doubt take things seriously as soon
as they have sized each other up"
Horace Leeds, the Atlantic City boy, seems
to be entirely in earnest in his desire to
get at Charley McKeever. His posting
$500 to bind a match with Clark's protege
shows that. 1t seems to be the opinion
Of those who think they can size up fight
ers accurately, however, that Leeds will
do well to leave McKeever off of his pro-
gramme. The Philadelphian is looked on
as a very tough young nut to CRACK. But
Leeds says that he can do the cracking all
right, and that he is going to mako Nc
Keever come to the front
Arthur Walker, who was one of the sec
onds of Pat Raedy when that aspirant was
so easily disposed of by Billy Mcmillan,
has been matched to fight Tommy West be-
fore the Manhattan Athletic Club Of New
York. West is q clever one, and 1t Will be
a wonder II he does not stop Walker In
short order. Walker was whipped In Cleve-
land by Pat Raedy.
Kid Lavigne is now a great man, he
thinks and is going to star in the show
line. Nobody will fight him, he says. The
Kid seems to have forgotten that Joe Wal
colt, Charley McKeever and Horace Leeds
are all on his trail, and each of them has
plenty of money to make match with him.
Arthur Valentine now admits frankly
that while he can whip any OF the men of
his class In his own country, the boxers
here are altogether too speedy for him. , He
will remain here until after the holidays
but SAYS he wants no more fights. From
this it appears that Valentine is pretty
decent Englishman.

The second of a course of lectures under

Mr.. S. II. Bell before an audience assem-
bled at Typographical Temple.
Governmental Ownership of the Tele-
graph was the theme selected by Mr.. Bell.
1t was a question, he thought, in which
the whole people are interested, and which
has been agitated since 1859. Mr.. Bell
quoted from Justice William Clark, of
North Carolina, in support OF his position,
and from the editorial columns of The
Times to show that all the best Improve
ments in telegraphy were not utilized be-
cause of the expense incurred.
These Improvements, he said, could all
be brought into daily use IL the telegraph
service were In the hands of the Govern
