THAT WOULD SETTLE 1T.
Fight Matter Moves in the Direction of the
Supreme Court.

Austin, Texas, Sept, A-Today ap-
plicatiOn was made to Comptroller Fin
ley, by the tax collectors of McLennon
and Hayes counties, for prize fight IL
cenSes, which were promptly refused
by the comptroller at the instance of
the attorney general, who in written
opinion, still contends that Judge
Hurts opinion, delivered a Dallas last
week multiplying the anti-prize fight law
is not binding and holding that Judge
Hurts opinion is in error in that il is
impossible for two conflicting provis-
ions of a statute in parti materia, en-
acted at different times, to be in force
at one and the same time. Therefore
Judge Hurts reference to the statutes
in force at the same time though con-
victing,is not supported by any logical
reason.
He also holds that the statute was
always void. in that il was contrary
to public policy if not to the constitu-
ton, itself. If you license a man to
fight-that is to say a fight between
man and man, the state does not even
seem to give yor the privilege of say
ing whether the fight will be with bare
knuckels, with gloves, with knives or
with pistols. Indeed they have the
right to fight, they are chartered lib
crimes to that extent and l presume
they ought to be permitted to select
their own weapons and fight in thir
own way"
1t was understood that the tax col
lectors were acting at the instance Of
the governor, who desires to get the
matter before supreme court. Tonight
thy applied to special justice Denman
of the supreme court for a writ of man
damus to secure a license. If Judge
Denman refused a writ of mandamus, it
will be a case Of loggerheads between
a supreme court associate justice and a
chief justice of the criminal court of
appeals, with the matter still undecid-
ed as to which opinion is most authori-
tative. 1t is probable, however, that
Judge Denman will ask the full su-
preme bench to sit with him and hand
down an opinion that will be binding
for all time.
Rockport, Tex, Sept. 24-Congress-
man David Culberson, father of Chas.
Culberson. governor, is spending few
days here and today talked freely of the
decision of Judge Hurt, on the prize
fight. Congressman Cufberson says
that the young governor would have TO
back down from his position. Con-
gresham CulberSon is regarded as a
great constitutional lawyer and his opin
ion is that the duties of the governor
are executive and not judicial and the
decision of Judge Hurt, as chief Justice
of the court of criminal appeals cam
not be questioned by the supreme court.
He says Judge Hurts decision is bind
ing until the legislature passes a law to
the contrary.

THAT OKLAHOMA GOLD AGAIN.
Thinks of Sending Troops q
WashIta Mountains

Washington, Sept. A.-The indica-
tons are favorable for some war nlanip-
ulations in Oklahoma, and it is possible
that some of the troops stationed at
Fort Leavenworth may be pressed into
the service, Captain Baldwin, agent for
the Wichita, kiowa, Comsnanche and
Apache Indians, in communication TO
the commissioner Of Indian affairs says
that within a very short time hundreds
of mining prospectors have gone into
the Wichita mountains looking for pre-
cious metals. The captain is OF the i'm
preston that recent publications in re-
gard TO finds Of gold in that country are
responsible for the invasion. Many OF
the invaders are from Colorado and the
far west, but the majority came from
the zinc mining sections OF Missouri
and Kansas. His understanding, from
reports brought 10 him, is that many
of the prospectors have been sent out
by mining companies. The number in
the mountains is variously estimated
at from 500 to 1000.
II is said the Indian police are unable
to cope with the situation and are pow
erleSs TO do little besides secure infor-
nation The Indians are very nervous
and much dissatisfied over the situation
as il has ever been their aim to keep
prospectors out OF the Wichita noun
tains. and very few have ever succeeded
in reaching there and while all have
been forced to suspend work who went
there. not ali have come out alive. This
being the feeling, it is feared that guer-
rilla warefare is likely 10 ensue between
the Indians and the prospectors in the
absence of prompt action on the part
of the government. II is suggested
that arrangements be made at once 20
have troops detailed for the service.
The Indian police viii be used In snow
ing the troops most availab BILE routes

information. The communication was
received so late yesterday that no of'ic-
isl action was taken II Is understood
that the commissioner Of Indian affairs

Etheiwynn for the perpetual challenge
cup offered by the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THAN Yacht club, ended as did Satur-
days. in a fiuke, because there was not
enough wind to finish within the five
hours
At o'clock the boats were sent away
EtheIwynn was a little quicker than
her rival getting over the line two sec
onds in advance, Spruce crowded the
Yankee SO closely that Etheiwynn was
unable to set her spinnaker immediate
ly She did not altogether lose her ad-
vantage, however, and was ahead at
the first leg of the first round.
The first mark was situated two
miles to leeward, east by north, one
half north The second mark was two
miles northwest from the first and the
third leg was from this last point back
to the start and had direct south by
west, one half west,
The course was sailed twice over.
On the leeward work on the first leg
EthelWynn outsailed the British yacht
and turned the mark one minute IL
seconds ahead as the following official
time shows: Ethelwynn 1:42:31; Spruce
1:43:42.
The second leg was reach and here
again the American boat showed her
superiority, for when the second mark
was turned, she had irnecased her lead
by 46 seconds Now began the beat to
the starting point and here the Brit
Usher outsailed the Yankee on every
point and passed her. 1t was 3:29:0S
when the British boat turned the mark
and broke out her spinnaker to port,
running TO leeward on the first leg OF
the second round. Ethelwynn rounded
the spar at 3:36:10 and commenced her
long stern chase. The fourth leg of the
course was a repetition of the first eX-
cept that Spruce was heading. Tie Off
cial time at that point was: Spruce
All As; Ethelwynn 4i25:39.
On the reach from the fourth turn
to the fifth, Ethelwynn- decreased the
distance between herself and her rival,
turning the mark but five minutes Is
seconds behind. The time here was:
Spruce 4:55:12; Ethelwynn 5:G0:25.
This gave the boaltS almost an hour
to run the last leg but as the wind be-
gan to die out IL was seen that there
would be but little chance to finish in
the required time. The sound steamer
Richard Peck steamed directly be-
tween the contestants and her swell
aide the dSpruce but retarded Ethel
wynn. A big three-masted schooner,
the Belle Halla day, Of Boston, sailing
before the wind made it necessary for
Spruce to double on her tack. Ethel
wynn began TO pick up at this time
and was constantly nearing Spruce
when the time limit expired and the
race was declared off until tomorrow.
