Settlement.

BALTIMORE, March Captain Glori
gives his side of the existing trouble with
FitZsimmons in about the following words:
"Fitzsimmons and l realized before the
company was organized that if he could
force Champion Corbett to make a match
with him we would make money with
a show with which he was connected.
When the time came for signing the
articles of agreement and putting up the
first stake deposit of $500 we had cleared
$500 with our show already, $3.50 of which,
OF course, was mine according to the
partnership agreement. l then skirmished
around and got friend to advance US
$1,000, making the required sum for the
first deposit.
The show continued successfully, and
there was not much trouble in gathering
the second $500. Meanwhile we reached
st. Louis. Fitzsimmons was throwing
away all the money we made, in the most
reckless fashion. He was spending from
$50 to $50 week on hotel bills alone. He
bought diamond ring costing $3.50 and
clothes worth $3.50 To aggravate matters
he had himself interviewed in several
cities, and stated that all the money on
deposit with the shareholders for his match
with Corbett was his alone. l spoke to
him about this and his extravaganza.
Then 1t was that he turned on me and
used epithets that l could not afford to
notice.
"He wanted me to break the agreement
with him. This [ consented to do if he
would only refund the $3.50 which had
in the original stake. l got the richest
cursing [ ever heard for my pains. Now
comes the statement from Fitzsimmons
that he has dissolved the company, of
which l am half owner and formed new
one. known as the Martin Julian Speciality
Company. This, take it, is in contempt
of the ruling of the Buffalo Judge, and it
is liable to make trouble for my ex-friend
from Australia.
"Fitzsimmons is acting the part of an in
CRATE. For four months he was without a
cent. 1 housed and fed him out of pure
pity flor his condition, and after l adj
vanced him money to start out on the road
again he takes the earliest opportunity to
throw me down. But that is not of con-
Germ to the outside public
FitZsimmons says: "GIori's comments
in reference to my meeting Corbett are be-
meath contempt and need mo reply. In
Buffalo receiver was appointed, Captain
Glori being notified of my desire for a
termination of our agreement. The court
directed that Captain Glori could not pre-
vent my playing for any one else, and that
he (Glori) would have to look to his legal
right for damages, if he suffered any by
the contract not being carried out.
"The organization made money each
week, with the exception of two, the pro-
eeeds being divided. These weeks, when
we were short, Mrs. Fitzsimmons, from
her own pocket, loaned the concern the
money to meet the necessary expenses.
There is $3.50 of the side bet which be-
longs to Glori. OF this $500 was borrowed,
and this has been paid back. On more
than one occasion I have offered to repay
his $3.50, and if he will call on my attorney
in this city tomorrow it can be very
readily arranged. My contract with the
Martin Julian Speciality Company is sim
ply as performer. If he pays me my sal
airy weekly in advance 1 will perform for
him, but not otherwise. The articles
Glori says published for myself and my
wife with the proceeds of the show were
paid for out of my wife's income, and his
statement is absolutely false and ma
