Disappointed Pug

New YoRK, March 2l.-Thirty. five hum
dred people gathered at the Grand Central
palace to see what was expected to be .
first-class boxing show, and everyone was
disgusted and disappointed. Kid Mccoy
and Joe Choynski were to have boxed six
rounds at catch weights, and four other
bouts, three of six rounds and one of four,
were scheduled for the evenings enter
tainment. Captain Delaney, who had
charge of the police arrangements, inter-
fered with the meeting and his efforts in
that direction were loudly hisscd by the
lice captain for spelling what would other
wise have proved first-class show.
Choynski and McCoy, when they ap-
peared in the ring, were ready to box on
their merits, and were as much disap-
pointed as the spectators when Announcer
Dunn stated that the police authorities
would not allow the boxers to fight on their
merits.
Referee Jimmy Carroll announced that
he would render no decision on account of
the stand taken by the police. The men
boxed four one-minute rounds amid deri-
sive cheers, .groans and catcalls. and as
soon as the first round was over Choynski
stepped to the middle of the ring and said I:
"Centlemen: 1t is not the fault of either
McCoy or myself that this stale of affairs
exists. have always done my fehtiug in
the ring and came on here from Chicago
to meet Mccoy for six rounds, and our
meeting was to be on its merits. While
Mccoy has kindly feelings towards rue,
can assure you that when | enter the ring
all friendship ceases. I am sorry the pv-
lice have nterfered, but we will do the
best we cam"
After the exhibition had been stopped at
the end of the fourth round. Mccoy said
substantially the same as Choynski did,
and it is quite possible that the men may
be matched to meet at some of the we'll
known clubs in the near future.

Formal Denial Of the Report That Con-

Associated Press Special Wire.

WASHINGTON. March 2l. The latest
mail from La Guayara contains the long
expected addition to the case of Venezuela
as it will be laid before the Venezuela
boundary commission. The work was un-
dertaken at Caracas by volunteer COM
mission whose services were accepted by
the Venezuelan government and which col
lected all the material accessible in Vene-
zuela bearing upon the boundary dispute.
The matter 80 far collected was dispatched
promptly by the home government to it's
minister here, Senior .Andrade. and
now in New York, the advance
mail has brought to Washington q
complete list of the papers comprised IN
the first installment. There are thirty-two
copies of the original manuscript records
in the lot, but these, after all. are Of eec-
ondary importance in comparison with the
large number of maps and charts that have
been gathered to sustain the Venezuelan
case. In the first lot of matter there are
no less than sixty such maps. and, In addi'
| ton, there are references to almost twice
| as many additional charts that may be
! readily obtained. This store of material
will be turned over to the Venezuela COM
mission az soon as it can he put in order.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Mr. Milet-
Provost, secretary of the Venezuelan COM
mission, today authorized the following
statement:
During the past weak a report has been
current that the committee had reached q
decision with reference to the boundary
question favorable to Venezuela. This
having been denied, the reC ort has been
circulated in another form, and it is now
asserted that while the commission as a
body has reached no such conclusion the
commissioners individually entertain the
views referred to.
"It must be evident to all that SO long as
anything remains to be examined and con-
sidered the commissioners are not in q po-
sition to pass an opinion respecting the
merits of the controversy. As a matter of
fact. neither tho commission nor the indi-
vidual commissioners are as yet in possess
sion of all the evidence. The papers pre-
sented by Venezuela ore but a part of
what has oeen promised. The blue book of
the British government, while remarkably
full and detailed, does not include all the
documents which may be adduced in sup
port of its contentious. The commission
has not and will not limit itself to tho con-
sideration of what those two governments
may present; it has been engaged upon in
dependent lines of inqu'fy and will con-
tinue to follow those lines until all it's
sources of information shall have been ex-
hausted. Then and not until then will it
be in position to form any opinion or to
make aDy repOrt"
