F1Tz WAS NOT VISIBLE
When Z. @. Labor Wanted to See
Him About the Boycott on
the Grand

Kansas City. Nov. 15.-Robert Fitz-
simmons champion pugilist, a union
man, appeared at the Grand twice yes
terday Notwithstanding the theater is
under a boycott by organized laborThe
house was twO-thirds filed at the matt
nee-completeIy filled at night Fitz-
simmons himself took no part in the all
day negotiations to settle the difficulty
between Hudson & Judah and organic
ed labor but his manager, Martin JUL
ian, was led a merry chase. The trou-
bic is in fair way of settlement to-
day
Although Fitzsimmons had engaged
rooms at the Midland he was taken di-
rectly from the depot to the Coates
House and Martin Julian went to the
Midland, where the committee was IN
waiting.
The committee and Julian then re-
tired to parlor of the hotel, where
the whole case was gone over by the
members of the committee. Julian said
that he would do all he could to aid in
settling the difficulty, but explained that
FitZ was under contract to play at the
Grand, and could not refuse to fill his
engagement.
At the suggestion of Julian, two mem
bers of the committee of fifteen and
Julian went to have a conference with
Managers Hudson and Judah, of the
Grand. Mr.. Judah explained that he
was not unfriendly to organized labor,
but that he could not accede to one OF
the demands of the union, which was to
the effect that all the nOn-uniOn stage
before the boycott was taken off. He
said that his stage carpenter had been
in his employ several years and had
proved himself an excellent workman.
Besides he had contracts with four of
his stage employees not to discharge
them without good cause during this
season.
Last night the pavement in front of
the Grand was filed with union men
crying out their boycott on the house.
Nearly 200 men were stationed about
the entrance to watch the crowd and
take the names of the business men
who refused to listen to the requests to
STAY away from the house.
FitZsimmons was seen at the Coates
by a reporter.

you Will have to see Julian, my
manager, about this matter" he said
You see l am not onto the situation.
Julian knows all about it by this time.
I have not seen him since he has talked
with the Grand Opera House people
and I don't know what he thinks will
be the best course to takeI don't want
to say one thing and then have him say
another thing. Julian has a pretty
good head on him, you know, and then,
besides. it is ten chances to one that L
will do what Julian recommends.

SHOOTERS MEET WEDNESDAY.
Good Nature Rivalry May Result in
Revival of Shooting.

The Topeka Sportsmen's Association
will meet Wednesday night at Conduct
ors' hall, COL East Fourth street, to
perfect the organization.
The association already has some 80
members and it is hoped that by the
time of the meeting the membership
will reach at least half a hundred. This
organization is for the purpose of re-
viving the almost latent sport with the
trap as well as afeld. There is no ILL
feeling towards the West End Gun
club and the new organization. There
is room for two in Topeka and by haV-
ing two a rivalry may be worked up
that will be an incentive to bring the
members to the weekly shoot and will
terminate in a contest.
The West End Gun club has for three
yeas past held a merchants tourna-
ment on Thanksgiving. The annual
choot will be held this year. Proba bly,
the new club will take part in the con-
test.
It is urged that all who are interested
in the sports attending a. gun club will
attend the meeting on Wednesday night
and swell the membership Of the new
club.

said:

KLEINHANs, STATEMENT.
Referee and Umpire Sign a Statement
Declaring "NoN Score' in
Lincoln Game.

Charles Kleinhans called at the Jour
nal office today and stated that as ref
cree of the game between Kansas and
Nebraska Saturday and in conjunction
with Umpire Fred Cornell of Nebraska
that there was no finished game be-
tween the two elevens Saturday at
Lincoln. That owing to the work of
Nebraska players in trying to delay the
game and disgraceful work on the
field the game would be declared off.
Both players having signed statements
to this effect. says Mr.. Kleinhans.
Nebraska players and managers, how
ever, declare the game will stand With
the score 6 to 5 in their favor.
The whole matter will probably be
wrangled over through the various
stages Of the various boards.

THAT 1t is Just aus essential that the child
be taught to read newspapers intelli-
gently as that he be taught history or
any other subject in the course of In

the objection OF some Old fossil that
newspaper literature is not @ branch of
scholastic concern, he may be disarmed
by calling the exercise newspaper

The plan of teaching Is simple, and
may be described as follows:
A member OF the class Is selected who,

domestic dispatches on the board, and
the members of the class who have al
