Which Cost Many Lives.


has not some II calculated that u
sixth part of the memoirs Of st. Simon
In the original is occupied with the
controversy whether or no, the presi.
dent Of parliament should YEA his hat
or put it on the desk when performing
various functions? At lenr.h the mat
ter was compromised. The Ters-etat
should wear a chapeau rabattu, which
had the slouched brim pinned up. This
childish quarrel was remembered, no
doubt, when rhe states general met and
the king harangued them. His speech
over, he put on lis hat, and the noblesse
did likewise, according to their privi-
lege. The commons had no such claim,
but they also clapped on their chapeaux
rabattus, amid fierce protests from the
mobiles. The revolution might have be-
gun that day with u scrimmage in the
kings presence had he not removed his
own hat, when all, of course, did the
same.
But slouched hats had already caused
a riot in Spain, which lasted SO long
and cost SO many lives hat it might al
most be termed a civil war. This was
20 years earlier. Charles III thought
them untidy. He thought the streets Of
his capital untidy also and denounced
boil eyesores in an edict. Every Spaniard
henceforth must pin up his Topping

must clean the street opposite his prem

were little interested, comparatively, in
the street cleaning, but they would die
for their h;.ts. And good many of them
did. but not unavenged. More than a
week the fray lasted, but it was thought
remarkable by foreign observers that at
2 p. nj. regularly the soldiers piled
arms, the furious citizens Withdrew
and silence reigned for one hour. Both
parties were enjoying the s~iesta, except,
perhaps, the wounded. After that inter
val they recommended. The king fed, |
and for the rest Of his life he never re-
turned to Madrid willingly. In fact, it
was understood he designed to make Sc
vile the capital henceforth, and only
gave up the project when his ministers
showed him what a vast sum he had
already spent on the new palace. So,
mighty may be the influence of the hat
in state affairs! Finally the king COM
promised. He withdrew his edict SO
far as the realm at large was concerned. |

tor should come into the room and in
terfere with his plans. Allen said
Sharkey told him the National Athletic
club was composed of Groom, Gibbs,
Lynch and Sharkey, and that Sharkey
was to receive 20 per cent of the pro-
ceeds of the fight after the purse was
deducted. Sharkey said his three part
ners in the National club were broke
and Sharkey had to advance 81 500 for
preliminary expenses, which had left
the sailor pugilist stranded financially.
Allen adds, a few days before the
fight Sharkey told him he thought carp
would be the right kind of a referee for
him and added it would be worth $500
to carp if he were the right kind of a
referee.
Wyatt carp today pleaded not guilty
to q charge Of carrying concealed Wea-
pOnS, and then appeared as a witness
in Fitzsimmons' suit to recover the
1000 check held by Sharkey. carp
said he had turned the check over to
Sharkey and denied that there had
been a conspiracy to defraud Fitzsim-
mons. The case then went over until
Friday, while the concealed weapon
case will be heard Thursday.
Dan ]. Lynch, Sharkey's manager
and hacker, made the following state
ment tonight:
Mr.. Sharkey desires all his friends, and
especially those in the East, to suspend judg-
ment on the story told today in court by
Australian Billy Smith until Sharkey can be
heard on the stand. The fact of the matter
is that Smith perjured himself, and wiz
prosecute him for perjury when the present
trial is over. His statement is a tissue of
falsehoods from beginning to end and it is
very clear to that he has been bought
by The FitZsimmons crowd to give testimony
damaging to Sharkey's case. Smith demand
ed 81 coo after the fight for four weeks as
sistance as trainer. Sharl1ey refused to give
more than $4O0. This is the animus of his
testimony in court today.

NEW YORK Dec. 9.-Tommy West, of Bos-

WalcOtt, the famous colored welterweight, at
the Marlborough Athletic club tonight. A
match had been arranged between Walcott and
Dick O'Brien, but another club insisted that
OBrien could not appear. In default of
OBrien, West was pressed into service on

and left the face. In the third round
Walcott grabbed West by the neck with
both hands, pulling him to the floor The

not allow it. In the fourth and fifth rounds
honors were even. West punched his left
several times on the face toward the end of
full of blood when he went to his corner.
In the sixth round Walcott swung his right
on the neck which made West a trifle weak
but he came up surprisingly strong and
kept his left continually jabbing the colored
boxer in the body. West was loudly cheered
for his clever work The seventh and eighth
rounds were lively and even in honors, though
Joe rushed West to the ropes as the gong
struck in the eighth.
In the tenth Walcott Rugged West and
swung him on the ropes Again there were
cries of foul but the referee only sep

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 9.-The
legal contest between Sharkey and
FitZsimmOnS for the possession of the
$4,000 purse has commenced before the
Superior court. Excitement was in
tense when the proceedings began in
the crowded court room, and Manager
Julian brought out his witnesses to
prove the conspiracy which he stated
had deprived F'itzsimmons of the purse.
Australian Billy Smith, one of
Sbarkey's trainers, was the first wit
ness. He detailed his work in connec-
tion with preparing Sharley for the
ring, and said when the question of Sc
lecting a referee was mooted in Shar-
keys training quarters, he was asked
to suggest a referee. Witness uggested
Hiram Cook, and said Lynch then
asked him if he knew Cook well enough
''to talk business with him. After
wards, witness said, Lynch character
lied Cook as no good" because he
would not favor his own brother in a
fight.
On the evening of the fight Sharkey
told the witness that carp had been
fixed as referee, and that carp was
all right" Witness described the uproar
over the. pfeIfnlnar1eS to the fight and
said when Fitzsimmons objected to the
bandages on Shakey's hand, Earp went
over to Sharkey's corner and said:
''Take off these cloths; it will be all
right anyway
Witness said when Sharkey receiv-
ed the knockout blow ON the jaw in the
eighth round, Lynch said to Sharkey,
'lie low, hold your hands on your groin

key was then carried to a room. He
did not appear to be hurt The wit

moved Sharkey's bandages and did the
work which caused the swelling. Shar-
key was then driven to his hotel in a
hack. Allen was with him. Sharkey

SEWER ASSESSMENTS VOID.
Important Ruling in West Superior
Case.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. g.
Judge Vinje, of the circuit court, has
rendered decisions in seven important
suits and his findings affect the valid
ity of all the special sewer assessments
made since the Incorporation of the
city. The cases were brought by seven
taxpayers against the city, and the
prayer of the complaint was to have
the assessments against property for
the construction of the big central
sewer, nine feet in diameter and cost
ing 1900, set aside.
The court held that there is no pro-
vision in the city charter for the noti-
fication of property owners to appear
before the board of review and take
exception to sewer assessments and
that portion of the charter is, there
FORE unconstitutional. The cases will
be appealed to the supreme court and
should the decision be sustained all
such assessments will be invalidated.
The outcome of these cases has a bear
ing upon many others now pending.
