KoZEL'S RESTAURANT AGAIN.
Anti I-Saloon League Is Fighting G rant
ing n License

An effort is beng made by the Anti
Saloon League and others To defeat the re-
licensing by the excise board of George
+. KoZel, who has a saloon and summer
garden at Nos. 1895 and 1927 Fourteenth
street northwest, and hearing to the in
terested parties was given this morning.
The grounds upon which the contest Is
being made are that Mr.. Kozel is con-
ductiug Il saloon at number for which he
has NO license; he having torn down a
building formerly known as No. 1923. and
consolidated the space thus vacated under
the other two numbers.
1t is asserted that when Mr.. KoZel OBJ
tanned his license the question of his
proximity to the DennisOn School was
raised, but upon some technciality the dis
tance was admitted to be little over 400
feet. Since he has enlarged his premises,
however, ii is cEafsed that Mr.. Kozel has
brought himself within this law and that
is used against him. In addition, the Pro-
testaut Orphan \ sylurn. which has Il school
attached. is shown to lie within 800 feet
OF the saloon.
W. F Soften, CT No. 1887 Fourteenth
street, has filed a written protest. and at
the same time asks that his name he stricken
from the list Of KozeI indorsers He claims
to- have signed under an Misrepresentation.

cut as the round closes. 1t was tame
round.
Round 1T-Everhardt opens with a hard
left on the ear, receiving two on the ribs
in return. A brisk rally follows and Jack

ear, the Kid meanwhile planting blow

hard swings on the jaw with the right
as the bell ends it..
Round 1S-The Kid ducks elumsily' for
a left, and Jack pastes him twice on the
jaw. Lavigne runs into a straight left,
but comes back with right and left on
the head, Two more smashes from the
Kids left, and Everhardt is groggy for
moment, but recovering gets home with
the right on the face three times The
pace 81 telling on both.
Round ia few good exchanges but
lots of clinching and the referees cry:
Break" becomes monotonous. Jack is
back with right and left swings on the
face. The bell was welcome sound to both.
Round 20.-The New Orleans man is near
ly downed with a right swing on the ear;
another right swing staggers him once
more, but the next moment he is dancing
round and lands a left on the jaw. Ever

only prevented from falling by Lavigne's
glove against his head.
Round 22-They come together with lefts
on the jaw and Lavinge shoots his left

lows and then the Kid puts three straight
lefts on the face. Everhardt was still
able to swing a light left on the head as
the gong sounded
Round 23-The Kid swings his right on
Everhardt's ear, and the latter upper cuts
with his right, but Lavinge plunged his
left three times in the face and ripped his
right into Jacks wind pitiessly. Jack
Three more body blows from Lavigne and
Jack makes only feeble efforts to reply.

Kid ducks into an upper cut. Then La
vigne resumed his banging on the head
and ribs A right swing on the jaw sends
Everhardt reeling and another straight
ems him up. A third one staggers him
again, when the referee jumped between
them and stopped the bout, awarding the
fight to Lavigne, after one minute and
fifty-three seconds OF the twenty-fourth
round.
Everhardt took punishment enough to
have finished a half dozen men, and his
frequent recoveries were astonishing.

BLAZE AT BROOKLYN.
Corset and Shirt Manufacturers
burned Out at a Loss of $500. 600.

"eu Out ht a Loss of $500, 900.
Brooklyn, N. Y, Oct. IA disastrous
fire in Ronalds & Co. s six story building

escapes from loss of life took place this
afternoon. The firm are wholesalers of
plumbers supplies, and other tenants are
the Fay, Harman and Chadwick Manu-
featuring Company corset manufacturers:
Lockett & Findley and the Seemon Broth
ers, skirt manufacturers. The latter firms
employ upwards of seventy-five girls. and
the fact that all got out safely is almost
miraculous, as they were in the upper sto-
rles. The fire originated on the fourth
moor from an unknown cause and spread
rapidly both upward and downward and
in few minutes the whole structure was
mass of flame, and thousands of people
had collected in the streets near by. The
Fay, Harman and Chadwick Companv's
employees, about 100 in number, nearly all
of whom were girls, were in the part Of
the building first attacked by the flames.
There was great jam on the stairs and
fire escapes, but so far as can be learned
tonight all have been accounted for. but
many of them tainted and had to be car
ried down the stairs by the fremen and
male employees.
The girls in Seemon Brothers skirt fac
tory were panic stricken when the dense
smoke began penetrating their rooms and
many screamed and rushed helplessly
about. The employers, assisted by the
male help, partially quieted the girls and
piloted them to the stairway and all
reached the street in safety, and most of
them with their wraps and hats.
The fire burned five hours, and COM
pletely wrecked the building. The loss is
estimated at 100000, most of which is
on Ronalds & Co. Fay, Harmon & Chad
wick place their loss at $25,OOO.
The only person injured, so far as re-
ported, was Fireman Frank Mccarthy,

ENGLISH VIEWS ON WHEAT.
Two London Editors Predict Higher
Prices For the Cereal.


London, Oct. 27.-In an article on the
demand for wheat and the supply of the
cereal the Daily Telegraph says: 1.-THE
stock of foreign wheat in the principal
British ports, it is said, would not suffice
to feed the country for a fortnight. The
slight fall in American exchanges on Sun
day gave the English markets a down.
ward tendency, but it is the opinion of one
of the best-known corn factors in Mark
lane that American wheats will speedily
rise with bound, and that by Christmas
prices will be much further enhanced. Dur
ing the recent excitement speculation in
England and America was carried beyond
reasonable bounds, but in the market the
opinion is positive that at least a proper
ton of the rise will be retained and that
the low price for the time being is ended"
The Standard says that the tendency of
wheat is for higher prices, adding: "The
failure in India will divert Californian and
Aus stralian wheat from Europe there. Only
the tremendous effort of the United States
TO hurry wheat across the Atlantic in ex-
change for gold prevented a much greater
increase in prices, and when the rush is
past there will be further rise"

CATHOLICS AND THE ELECTION.
The Vatican Wants the Clergy to
Keep Out of Politics.


London, Oct. 27.-The Pail Mall Gazette
publishes dispatch from it's Rome corre-
spondent in which he says: 1.-THE coming
presidential election in the United States
is the absorbing topic at the Vatican, ow-
ing to the strides made by Catholicism in
America, now one of the largest sources of
income the church has. 1t has recognized
that the standing danger to Romanism in
the United States is the independence Of
the American bishops, noticeable since the
time of Plus TX. The latter fully recognize
ed that these bishops enjoyed greater pow
er than their brethren elsewhere, and he
showed he understood this by his answer
to some English priests who asked for GER
tain privileges. He said: I am, as you say,
Pope, yet L can not accede to your re-
quest. But can show you way to OBJ
tain your desire. Go to America, for there,
the bishops are greater than the pope On
the accession of Pope Leo matters assumed
different aspect. He charged Mgr. Satolli
with the duty Of intimating to the bishops
in unmistakable language the limits of
their powers, and the result was something
like a split, which II took Mgr Satolll two
years to heal. But his mission had good
results"
The correspondent adds that the Vatican
does not wish the clergy In the United
States to take part in the campaign, lest
there should be a new division In the ranks
and an outburst of incorporate expression
Of political opinion on the part of the more
impetuous bishops,
