Rounds Against LnyiSnc.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12.-"Kid" Lavigne
the lightweight champion of the world, and
Owen zeigler, boxed for six rounds last
night in the arena of the Quaker City Ath-
letic club, Layigne had all the best of the
bout and it looked as though he could have
put the Philadelphan to sleep in the fret
round. Before they had spared one minute
Lavigne feinted with his right, and as
Zeigler attempted 10 duck the kid
brought his left around with terrific force,
landing squarely on Zeigler's chin.
In the second round Lavigne landed al
most at will, Zeigler being apparently con-
tent to stay out the six rounds.
The third, fourth and fifth rounds were
but a repetition of the second, Lavigno
doing all the leading and zeiger counterlng
occasionally. In the closing round Zeigler
was made pretty groggy by two or three
stiff punches, but he managed to last
through the round.
Zeigler weighed fifteen pounds more than
Lavigne but was not in the best condl-

SALOON MEMS RETALIATION.

Houses for immoral Purposes.

There is a well-founded report that the

have been active in securing indictments
for the violation of the liquor laws. The
saloon men have secured information which
they will use. but just how they will use
il is rot known. During the last month
every house of i'll repute in the city and ths
rooms of many girls have been visited by
agents of the saloon men, and a complete
list of the agents and owners of the prop
erty used has been made. This list shows
that some OF the most prominent real estate
and rental agents and real estate owners
in the city have rented property for i'm
moral purposes. 1t has also been discov-
cred that in some instances the owners or
agents have charged exorbitant rentals.

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.
Senate Judiciary Decides Upon the
Gilbert Measure.

There is likely 10 be a hot time in the
Senate when the reports-there will be two
of them-are submitted by the judiciary
committee the Shively antitrust bill
This is one of the most important measures
before the Senate. The majority report
will recommend it's indefinate postpone
ment and the passage of the Gilbert BILL
which is much less stringent than the
Shively bill. There was a long discussion
when the Shively bill was up in the Senate
last week. AT that time Senator Hawkins
moved that the bill be recommitted to the
committee. saying that number of his
constituents had expected to be heard be-
fore the committee report was made. The
same afternoon a large number OF whole
sale grocerS and druggists We're represented
and their views on the bill were given. The
insurance men are also opposed TO the Dill
In the committee meeting they were rep
resented by an attorney, who said that the
bill would prevent the companies joining
hands and having one man rate the build
ingS of a city. and each one would have to
have its own man for that purpose, making
the insurance rates higher. Francis L.
Hord, representing the wholesale grocerS,
druggists and dry goods men: said that the

HAMMOND ANNEXATION.
Lively Fight Over a Celebrated Piece


The House judiciary committee had one
of the liveliest meetings last evening that 1t
has yet held. The Hammond annexation
case was up for consideration, and there
is usually good deal of life about any
thing that Hammond is connected with.
This case was made somewhat famous by
the letter of Governor Matthews last spring
in which he descanted at some length upon
the habit of the Federal Courts in en-
croaching upon the powers of local and
State governments, and advised the author
tiles of Hammond to go ahead and collect
the taxes in the annexed territory. notwith-
standing the decision of the Federal Courts
overthrowing the annexation. The proper
ty annexed is about five square miles of
territory, the property Of Mrs. Forsythe,
and upon it are located two of the collec-
ton of celebrated racetrackS known under
the generic name OF Roby.
The city of Hammond petitioned the
County Commissioners for this annexation
in 1898 and the petition was rejected. The
city then appealed to the Circuit Court,
and it was taken on change of venue to
Porter county, where 1t was decided in
favor of the city. Mrs. Forsythe, as a resi-
dent of Illinois, applied to the Federal
Courts, after lighting the case through, and
losing in the State Supreme Court, and the
The city has appealed from this decision,
and the case is now pending before the
Supreme Court of the United States. 1t
was upon this question of conflicting
authority between the State and Federal
Courts that the city authorities of Ham,
mond wrote to Governor Matthews last
spring. and he replied advising them to
obey the mandate of the State Court, TAX
ing occasion to give his opinion about what
he regarded as the encroachment OF the
federal judiciary.
Mr.. Linck introduced early in the session
bill which recites in whereas the pro-
ceedings before the County Commissioners
and in the Porter Circuit Court and enacts
that the lands in question be disannexed.
At the hearing of this bill last night w. b.
Redding and Mr.. Ibach appeared on be-
half of the city and w. II. II. Miller on
behalf of Mrs. Forsythe. The arguments
grew rather heated, and at one point where
Mr.. Miller declared that the city of HAM
mond has stood by the Roby racing aS-
gregation in the litigation Mr.. Ibach told
him that he knew nothing about the facts.
and was telling the committee what was
not true. He declared that he himself had
prosecuted the first against the Roby
crowd, and had been retained for this pur-
pose by a committee of the citizens of
Hammond. The committee did not come to
a conclusion last night upon the bill.
