New York, November 2S.-Warren
Lewis, President of the Greater New
York Athletic Club. who has been ar
ranging for a fight between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons, at COney Island,
called on District Attorney BaCkus to-
day TO secure a permit for the fight to
take place. Mr. Backus refused 10
grant the permit and said he would
not allow the fight TO take place, as he
understood it was a prize fight and not
a fight for points, and he added that if
an attempt was made to bring the men
together In the ring they would be ar
rested. Mr.. Lewis directed the district
attorneys attention 10 the fights that
took place at the broadway Athletic
Club to which Mr.. Backus replied:
1T makes no difference TO me what
they do In New York. l won't allow
the law to be violated in Kings

Besides Mr.. Lewis, his counsel and
Backus there we're present at the con-
sultation Police Commissioner Wells,

ed Wheeling in his itinerary. At the
last meeting between the All Wheeling

that the local bowlers fairly divided
honors with the visitors. It is not
known whether games will be arranged
here, the apparent falling OFF in inter-
est in the sport being responsible for
this doubt.

MUST BE PROBED TO THE BOTTOM
The above contains the main points of
the charges made by Mr.. Dunn, who has
given two weeks time to their investiga-
tion. 1t is, however, only an outline, and
there are many details in his possession
which will bs given when the time arrives.
Every facility will be afforded the home
management to disprove these charges,
which are given with sufficient substan-
tiality to justify a most careful inquiry.
There is no disposition to shut cut any,
thing that will tend to throw any light on
this matter. 1t is subject in which every
citizen is vitality interested, and it is one
which cannot be overlooked or passed
aside. The home management owe it to
themselves to assist in every way possible
to bring out the truth, in which they will re-
ceive all the assistance that can be rem
dered by The HERALD. The charges have
been given fairly and without feeling, ex-
cept in SO far as to see that justice is done,
and to that end it will be followed up. The
other side will-be treated in the same i'm
partial manner, and all matters presented
will receive due consideration.

profession. During the six months that he
has beenin the school, Mr.. Dunn has made
many friends, and he is we'll spoken Of by
the members of the faculty. He has a
letter signed by the principal, Prof. Pierce,
the vice-priucipal, Prof. Dozier, and Mrs.
Pierce, all Of whom indorse him.
WHAT STARTED THE INVESTIGATION
Mr.. Dunn said that he first learned that
everything was not as it should be while he
was teaching in the Sunday school at the
Home. He says that as he gained the con-
tidence of the children, they began to tell
him their grievances, and he was soon con-
vinced that abuses were in existence that
should be stopped, and he started in on his
Investigations. He says that this fact be-
coming known, the management adopted
a rule that no relative of q child in the
home should teach in the Sunday school,
Later he says, this rule was extended so as
to fo-bid relations even to attend Sunday
school and look at their own children
while they were being taught their lessons.
lie further says that when he inquired of
the management why such a rule was
passed, be was told that several of the
teachers in the Sunday school were not of
good enough character to teach there, and
that when he attempted to go on with the
subject. he was met with such TRADE of
abuse that he was satisfied that there was

out for himself.
RESTRICTIONS ON VISITORS
Mr.. Dunn says that he first wrote to the
superintendent of the Whittier Reform
school and also to the wardens of the state
penitentiaries at San Quentin and Folsom,
and found that the rules in regard to vsi-
tors were more stringent at the home than
at either of these institutions. Not only
that. but that the food was poorer, and the
children in the home were compelled to
get up earlier and go to work sooner than
the inmates of even these penal institu-
tons. He say that he learned that the
children were compelled to get up between
. and o'clock. in the cold dormitories,
where the smaller children were dressed
by the larger ones, before they we're al

NEWS OF OIL
Rains Have nterfered With Hauling-A

Rairs Have nterfered With Hauling-Ad-
vanced Prices
At the headquarters of the oil exchange
yesterday it was said that the rumor that
the tank vessel Enoch Talbot was anchored
off Port Los Angeles, and had not put to
sea, was untrue. The Talbot, although an
old boat, is perfectly seaworthy and in
command of a competent skipper. She
was last reported as having passed Point
Conception and is making good progress
on her journey northward.
The rains of the last few days have Sc.
riously interfered with the hauling of oil
from the fields to the consumers and a
scarcity of fuel in some cases has resulted.
Considerable over the quoted exchange
price was yesterday paid in several in
stances by parties who needed oil for i'm
mediate consumption. The difficulty will
be obviated as soon as the streets dry a
little and full tanks can be pulled once
more.
In the course of few days the exchange
will make public a statement of transac-
tions which will edify many who suppose
abe local output is comparatively insig-
niflcant. The figures will show that the
southern section of the state is rapidly
coming into prominence as petroleum
center.

THE ORPHANS Ho1E, AT YALE AND ALPINE STREETS

parently reliable man whose credentials
are of the best, and who has at present
two children in the home.
The orphans home is one of the oldest
charities in the city, and has always been
considered one of the best. 1t is under the
management of board Of trustees COM
posed of some of the best known women
of the city, and up to the present time
nothing has ever been said against this in
stitution.
Mr.. Dunn, on the other hand, is spoken
of by those who know him as an honest,
upright man. He declares that he has no
personal motive in making the charges
which he does against the home manage
ment; that owing to the passage of an
arbitrary rule, he commenced an investiga-
ton on his own account. and has discov-
cred that abuses exist which should be
corrected, in the interests of common
than two weeks TO this invesiiga-
ton, and has fortified himself with
q great deal of testimony to back up
the position taken by him. Mr.. Dunn has
tried to get the grand jury to take up this
matter, and has also brought the subject to
the attention of the humane society. Not
only this, but he has called on the district
attorney and in every manner possible
tried to get the proper authorities to take
the matter up. He says he is determined
to see the matter out and will not let it
drop until measures are taken for the sup
preston of the abuses which he says eX-
ist.
The orphans home, it should be stated,
is in no sense a private charity, but is a
state institution to the extent. at least.
that it. like other orphan asylums, receives
state aid for The support of the inmates. Ac-
cording TO the report of the secretary of
state, the horne received from the state
treasury during 1895 the sum of $l0,-
417.01, $53Os 22 for the first six months
and S510s.79 for the last half of the year.
During 1894 the sum of S9627.4S was re-
ceived from the state. This being the case
the home is a legitimst te subject for inves-
tigat N, tho same as any other public in
stitution.
THE MAN WHO MAKES THE CHARGES
AS stated in the beginning, Mr.. Dunn is
apparently reliable, conscientious man.
He is 80 years of age, and has two child
rem, girl named Eva, aged | years, and
boy named Walter, aged years, now in
the home. Mr.. Dunn was formerly
school teacher, and has his credentials
dating back as far as 1875. twenty-one
gears ago. Mr.. Dunn had quit teaching,

combining children in dark closet for
hours at time.
Many other cases are cited by Mr.. Dunn,
which, he says, he has verified, and he has
the proof in his possession to verify every
statement made by him. His son Walter,
he says, who is now in the hospital ward at
the home, has on more than one occasion
been whipped.

had been punished, and they, in the main,
