A Query That Is Stirring Up
Much Gray Platter.
THE PLACES PROPOSED.
THE CHANGING COURSE OF THE
RIO GRANDE.
Fight May, However, Be Pulled on
in Ell Paso-More Interest Seems
TO Be Conferred in the Scrap Than
in the Coming Presidential EIec-
tion-Various Opinions.

Ell PASO, Texas, Oct. 19.-The indica-
tons are that the Corbett-Fitzsimmon
fight will be pulled off in the vicinity
Of this city, near the point where Cap
tain Jones. of the Texas Rangers was
killed few years ago. Jones believed
at the time he was on Texas soil Along
the Rio Grande, just below Ell Paso,
there are a number of strips of land
formed by the constantly changing
course of the river, which are in dispute
and over which no jurisdiction is claimed
at present by either the United States
or Mexico. as the boundary comission
has not yet passed upon it. There are
some pieces on the left bank belonging
10 Mexico. and some on the right bank
owners of these pieces have titles from
both the United States and Mexican
governments, yet neither of these gov
ernments is exercising any jurisdiction
over these particular pieces of land. The
continuous shifting of the river has
caused these islands or strips of land
to be considered as neutral ground, and
it was partly to settle these disputes
that Mexico and the United States ap-
pointed commission eight years ago TO
determine the exact boundary line be-
tween the two countries. The claimants
OF the respective lands have been eX-
UectIng to see the matter settled for
the past fifteen years and it is not likely
that the matter can be settled at all
soon. as the commission has no final
jurisdiction in the matter, and can only
recommend to their respective govern
ments their findings and agreements.
This state of affairs is due to the utter
disregard which the United States gov
eminent has paid to the Rio Grande
water question for the past fifteen years.
AS it would take at least several weeks
to make the surveys and determine the
ownership of the present neutral terri
tory, there is now splendid opportunity
for having the proposed contest come
off on this ground, whore neither gov
eminent can interfere. Ell Paso, with its
beautiful climate and the many attrac
tons on account of its international fea-
lures, is decidedly the best point for this
time of the year. and the crowds that
would gather from all over the country
will certainly be delighted with the few
days they spend in this vicinity. The
bull fights, cock fights, games, etc,
which are so seriously objected to in
the United States, are allowed in Mex
leo and can be seen in the Mexican
town of Ciudad de Juarez, which is con-
nected with this city by two street car
lines

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 19.-Rev. Will

Rnally decided to refer it to the spec

The house then plunged into the
consideration Of another batch of
proposed amendments to the canOns,

The first taken up related to the rights
and privileges Of rectors, wardens and
vestrv and other powers of bishops
IN comforting the choice Of rectors.
The amendment was eventually re-
ferred to the Joint commission on
canons.
The proposition to use only the form

The house of bishops held an af-

canon on marriage and divorce. The
canon differs materially from the one
first proposed, reading as follows:

of any people who have a divorced
husband or wife still living. but this
prohibition shall not be held to apply
to the innocent party in divorce for

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I'm. H. de
Young, chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, makes several criti-
cisims of Senator Sherman's new book
entitled :Recollections of Forty Years
in the House. Senate and Cabinet"
IF had a political enemy" said Mr.
de Young, 81 should be pleased to have
him write a book. Senator Sherman
errs when he says one man controlled
the New York delegation to the Re-
publican convention of 1888, and that
a corrupt bargain was made in the in
terest of Harrison during an interval
between the adjournment of the con-
vention on Saturday night and the
time when it reassembled on the next
Monday morning. In the first place
the New York delegation was con
trolled by Warner Miller. Frank
Hiscock, Chauncey Depew and Thomas
c. Platt. 1t was we'll known when the
convention assembled that the New
York delegation was for Depew first
and Harrison second. 1 was working
for Blaine. so when Depew withdrew
from the fight on Friday | moved to
adjourn until the next day in order to
prevent a. stampede to Harrison. The
New York delegates were firm for Har-
rison as a second choice, however, and
he received their support, without g
corrupt bargain having been made rs
Senator Sherman alleges"
Mr. de Young said the senator's
criticism of Garfield was cruel, as it
was not justified by facts.
81 believe many of the harsh state
ments in the book may be attributed
to Senator Sreman's disappointed am
bftion-the presidency" said Mr.. de
Young. ON this connection it may be
said that the senator's ambition would
probably have been realized long ago
if he had not taken such an extreme
stand in favor of a gold standard"

AS LOOKED FOR.
Termination of the Corbett Habeas
Corpus Case.


HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 19-The
Corbett habeas corpus terminated just
as everybody in Hot Springs thought it
would Governor Clarke was apparently
the first to discover that there was no
statutory prohibition to prize fighting or
glove contests, that the act of 1891 had
not passed the house as amended by the
senate, that instead of the bill as
amended passing as constitutionally re-
CURED by roll call, it simply passed by
a viva voce vote, hence was not legally
passed.
The decision of Chancellor Leatherman
this afternoon was in accordance WITH
the views expressed by Governor Clarke,
and as showed by. the house records.
The proof produced demonstrated the
fact that glove contest was to be
fought a limited number OF rounds here,
on October 81. between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons. and that five ounce gloves were
to be used. By the numerous experts put
on the stand, it was proven that soft
glove contests are not brutal affairs and
are never attended With any serious or
harmful results when engaged IN by
trained athletes. 1t is sometimes the
case that amateur boxers or unskilled
unframed men injuTt each other IN glove
contests, but never had such a thing &C.
Cured in the knowledge of the witnesses
when engaged in by Skilled and trained
boxers such as Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Among the prominent experts sworn
were Joseph Nendlg. Howard y. Hackett,
sporting editor of the New York World;
W. G. Mauray, William A. Brady, E. b.
Smith, local sporting man, and Ed.
PARCELS, d local amateur gymnast, all
of whom had seen many soft glove con-
tests. none Of which had resulted in seri-
Gus or painful injury to either contest
ant.
Chancellor Leatherman rendered a de-
cision that there is 10 law prohibiting
prize fighting or glove contests, and that
the defendant was entitled to his lib
erty under a writ of habeas corpus and
it was so rendered. The states interest
was looked after by Prosecuting At
torney league ana Attorney-General
Trustworthy.
The attorney general states that he
will take an appeal to the supreme court
on a writ of certiorari.
The court room was crowded from the
railing around the judges desk TO the
doors leading to the lower floor, and
judging from the applause with which
Judge Leathermans decision was re-
ceived. almost every person present
agreed with it.

The Fnthern Grief.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 19.-John w.
Mackay struggled with his grief today.
He remained secluded in his rooms at
the Palace hotel and the clerks at the
counter were given Instructions to send
no cards to his apartments. Mr.. Mackay
was not only Frustrated with grief, but
he was Worn out physically, as he re-
manned at the office of his telegraph
company all night to receive further news
from Paris of the death Of his eldest
son. Manager Storrer also remained at
the key until daybreak, but very little
information was received until noon to-
day. The cables then announced that
young Mackay had not been killed at
Paris, but at a small town $50 miles dis
tant. On account of the great grief of
the father not much could be learned to-
day regarding the interment of his sons
remains Directions were sent to Paris
to have the body embalmed. It VIII
probably be brought to this country and
buried either in this city or in New York
From the fact that young Mackay was
born in this city, to which he was much
attached, it is believed the interment will
take place here.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 19.-Speaking tonight
Of Senator Sherman's book just pub
ushed, giving his recollection of forty
years in the senate and cabinet, Mr..
Mccullough of the Globe Democrat
said: THE book is evidently a val

history, but the synopsis already pub
1ished shows it to be full of errors Of
prejudice such as a man with a griev-
ance is apt to write. Ever since 1875
Mr.. Sherman has been, so far as the
presidency is concerned, a man with
grievance. That year, finding his own
nomination impracticable, he threw his
strength for Hayes and nominated him
at Cincinnati, defeating Blaine, who, in
turn, defeated him in 1880. He said a
few days before the nomination of
Garfield that If the nominee should
happen to be an Ohio man his name
would not be Sherman. One Of the

An Editors Opinion.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 1910 an AS
ISOLATED Press reporter, A. l. Athens, of
the Evening Wisconsin, said today:
II attended the national Republican
convention that nominated James a.
Garfield in 1880, and was present at all
sessions. [ heard all the nominating
speeches and remember the speech of
Mr.. Garfield nominating John Sherman
in behalf of the Ohio delegation The
opening of this speech was such that no
man who heard it can forget it. Not
only the matter but the manner of Mr..
Garfield in the opening of his speech indi-
Gated great zeal, truthfulness and ear
nestness in his nomination of Senator
Sherman. There was no sentence in any
of the speeches comparable in my idea
10 the opening sentence of that speech.
The balloting went on from day to day
until the thirty-siXth ballot, when Mr..
Garfield was nominated with a whoop
and hurrah as every one knows. The
night before his nomination l called upon
Mr.. Garfield with view TO securing his
consent to accept the nomination if ten
dered to him. Mr.. Garfield, in rejecting
all oVertures, could not be mistaken by
any man who heard such an interview
as | had with him. And it is due to the
truth of history and the memory Of Mr..
Garfield that he made no trade or ar
rangement by which he should receive
that nomination. He was taken up by
the whirlwind. as autumn leaves, and
carried into the presidential chair
