WILL MAKE NO ARRESTS.
Chief Lees VIII Await the Verdict
of the Jury Before Taking
Action

Said Chief Lees at his Office last night:
81 have no idea of making any arrests at
the present time, nor Will | at any body's
instigation give my opinion as to The
manner of Hoffman's death. Attorney
Aeh has tried his best to force an opinion
from me, but neither he nor any one else
can do so. Before he has finished with
this case | am under the impression that
he will find that he is not the criminal
lawyer he thinks he is, nor an expert
bookkeeper.
"I have not shadowed Mr.. Figel at any
time, and if there are any detectives
watching his movements they are not from
my department, but may be from Morse's
agency.
Il am endeavoring to get all the evil
dence in, so to have the inquest next
Tuesday, and l will then submit il and let
the jury pronounce the verdict. This is
another case of the newspapers trying a
case in advance. and / for one will not
contribute any evidence l may have before

"Mr Ach has never submitted to me
the books of the firm of Hoffman, Roth
child IL Co., but when Mrs. FIgel brought
the books 10 me that her husband had
| taken to San Rafael on the night of the
1st OF June l sent them to Mr.. Ach for

II will not see Mr.. z. s. Rothchild to-
night, but will possibly tomorrow, when

SULLIVAN " Nrs TO FIGHT.
The Great "RGs Beem" Anztous to Meet
FifsSfnnohs.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 10.-John L.
Sullivan came to Buffalo tonight to chal.
lenge Fitzsimmons publicly. He took
seat in box at the Court-street Theater
When Filzslmmons came out, Sullivan
was to stand up, shake $1,000 at him and
offer to fight for any stake. Before Fitz.
simmons appeared, Martin Julian saun
tered into SulIivan's box. Sullivan told
him his intentions. Julian said Sullivan
deserved a chance and should have it.
He said Fitzsimmons meant to fight
again as soon as he had tired of posing as
champion, perhaps in nine months or q
year. He could not give Corbett a
chance, not If Corbett fought hundred
men, but was quite agreeable to accept a
challenge from Sullivan. He said Fitz-
simmons would meet Sullivan after the
show and talk it over. Sullivan aban-
doned his programme and cheered Fitz-
simmons when he pounded the bag. After
the show they had an informal talk, but
nothing was said definitely about the
match.

Teller Maxwell Explains FIgePs
Transactions at the
Bank

George r. E. Maxwell the teller OF the
First National Bank, TO whom Figel re-
ferred TIE CALL reporter, when seen at
his residence on Baker street last night,
co-roborated Mr.. FigeFs statement in re-
gard to the large bills desired by Figel.

bank / cannot say" said he, 'as at the
time was away on my vacation, but on
numerous occasions he brought coin to the
bank and exchanged it for bills. The rea-
son he did not deposit the gold, he said,
was that be found the currency convent
ent to carry about and use, and he could
not be sure that we could cash his checks
on call with bills large enough 10 suit
him."
From this statement it would appear
that the bank state ment does not show
the full amount OF FigePs transactions,
and that the amount of money he handled
was far in excess of that shown by the
bank account.

Magistrate Cornell Decides
That the PugiIiStS Did Not
Violate the Law.
Inspector Mclaughlin Insists That
the BruIsers Engaged In "A
Regular Prize-FIght."

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 1o.-Maher
and Sharkey, Referee Coiville and the
timekeepers and seconds were arraigned
in the Harlem Police Court to-day to an
swer a charge of prize fighting"
When the charge had been read Magis-
trate Cornell said he had carefully read
newspaper accounts of the fight and
could not see how the men had violated
The law.
Inspector Mclaughlin stated they had
INDUCED in a prize-fght and had con-
tinued slogging each other after the gong
had been sounded. He said: "There was
a regular prize fight. These men slugged
each other and knocked each other down.
l think they violated the law"
"Why, inspector" said the Magistrate,
you know there are many things at a
prize-ight which you would not see at a
tea-table, and in a fight the men will
strike each other and are extremely apt to
knock each other down. But that does
not necessarily constitute a violation of
the law. l believe you did right to stop
the fight and arrest the men because they
lost their heads at crit ical moment / m
glad they were arrested, but cannot enter
tain the plant of violation of law
against them"
The Magistrate then discharged all the
prisoners.
Dan Lynch, Sharkey's manager, wants
to get Maher and Sharkey together again.
To-day he received a dispatch from the
National Athletic Club OF San Francisco
stating that organization would give
$4,000 if Maher and Sharkey would fight

The secret in the homely art of darn
ing lies in running the thread of the
darning cotton so far on each side OF
the hole that it does not Immediately
fray and pull out the goods.
Take a long thread of darning cotton
to begin with and run it at least hall
an inch along the goods on each side OF
the hole. Continue this until the hole
is Snugly covered Now cross these
threads in regular darning style, TAX
ing care that the same precaution is
observed A stocking darned in this
way will wear, as far as the darning is
concerned, as long as if no hole had
existed.
To darn very large holes, such as
are likely to occur from having been
pulled or frayed out in the laundry,
something more than a thread of darn
ing cotton may be necessary, and a
patch must be used. Such holes al
most surely occur in the heel, as this
part of a stocking is usually worn thin
first and is more likely to fray.
In treating of the method of mend
ing them it is safe to take the heel for
a model.
From the leg of an old stocking, such
as is sure to be found in your basket
cut kite-shaped piece of goods about
five inches long and four inches across
Turn the stocking wrong side out and
lay the kite upon the heel so that the
long pointed end runs up the back OF
the leg and the lower rounded part is
at the base of the heel.
Run a stout linen thread down the
center of the kite, taking large, loose
stitches. Now run in the same way
across the kite-shaped piece. letting the
thread be very slack. The next step is
TO sew the patch lightly to the heel by
stitching it around the outside If
deity done there will be neither
wrinkle nor crease to tell the wearer
that so important an operation had
taken place.
This is especially useful with chill
irens stockings. Boys shoes are al
most sure to be harsh and ill-ftting al
the heel. This method of renewing the
