STILL HARD AT WORK
Slow Progress, but Good Results In the Mu
der lnYestfgation

There were no new developments in
the White murder case yesterday al
though the detectives were busy all day
running down various clews. Georgia
Abbott is still held in custody, but moth
ing new has been elected from her. 1t
is believed by the department that they
are at last on the right track, yet moth
ing that has been done will be given out
for publication. The woman adheres to
her original story and claims to be in
entire ignorance of whom the murderous
assailants were. 1t is rumored that two
arrests have been made, but this cannot
be verified, as the officers are close
nouthed as to their actions.
Chief Glass was in constant consulta-
tion with his force of detectives all the
afternoon and until 10 p. m., and on
emerging from his office was asked as
to what progress had been made. He
express ed himself hopefully, saying that
the matter would be sifted to the bottom
and the guilty parties apprehended q.
such thing was possible. AS to whether
or not any arrests had been made or
were in contemplation he would not say,
merely remarking that nothing could at
present be given out, but that perhaps
today he would have matters In posi-
tion where the public could be given the
results of their Investigations

IN THE RING
Shadow Maher Gets Hard Punch In the
Stomach

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 22.-"Shadow"
Maber disappointed many people who
expected to see him a mark for Tommy
Ryan at the meeting of the welter-
weights for twenty-round bout before
the Buffalo Empire Athletic club to-
night. Maber made an excellent show
ing, and for eight rounds the 2000 specta-
tors were treated to as pretty an exhibi-
ton of boxing as could be asked for.
Both men had science and Ryan was just
beginning to come to the conclusion that
he was up against harder game than
he looked for, when a fortunate punch
in the stomach disabled his opponent.
Both Ryan and Maber could have been
better trained. Ryan weighed las pounds
and Maber six pounds more, but when
they faced each other in the ring the
| difference in weight made them look like
| a lightweight against middle weight.
Matchmaker Brooks of the club acted as
! referee.
Maber received a crushing blow in the
stomach in the ninth round, which
knocked him down. His seconds threw
up the sponge and the decision was
given to Ryan.

cede that there will be anything in the
race but Henry of Navarro and Clifford,
and the supporters of the two were about
equally divided. Sir Walter. winner OF
the Brooklyn, is not much thought OF,
as his twelve pounds penalty for winning
that event has brought him on level
terms with Clifford. The Commoner is
given as doubtful starter, but Mr. wal

A STORM BREWING
San Francisco Is Looking for Q Red Hot
Norther


SAN FRANCISCO. June ga red
hot norther will be due in this city to-
morrow. For several hours 1t has been
shooting the aerial chutes. one end of
which is thousands of feet above the
clouds in Oregon where the tempera-
ture is high, andthe other down in the
deserts of Arizona, where the thermom-
eter is hugging the bulb. By thte time
the norther gets here 1t will probably
have worked up friction enough to
blister the bitumen and create a de-
mand for long drinks. In the valleys
of the San Joaquin and Sacramento 1t
will be much worse. something like 25
degrees. and fruit will ripen faster than
the growers can pick 1t.
Forecastcr Harmon does not think
1t will go much more than so here, which
is considered pretty warm. He is also
of the opinion that the hot winds will
not linger in this vicinity more than "a
hours.
