Ten Rounds Fought BY These Pugs
In New Orleans.
FIGHT DECLARED A DRAW
AND IT APPEARED TO BE LUCKY
FOR EVERHARDT.
Martin Julian's Statement In Behalf
of Fitzsimmons, Aimed at Corbett
and McCoy-Not Going to Allow
Bob to Accept Challenges From
Inferior transporting News.

New Orleans, Dec. 2S.-Jack Daily and
Jack Everhardt met before the Tulane
Avenue Athletic club tonight for
percentage of the receipts. The match
was originally for 20 rounds, but the
mayor would not issue permit for
over ten rounds, and charged $500 for
that. Everhardt said he had trained
for 20 rounds and refused to go on
until he secured an agreement that if
both men were on their feet at the
end of the ten rounds, the fight would
be declared a draw. Eyerhardt tried
to make it a rough and rushing fight
from the start, but DAILY was clever
enough to keep away from punishment.
Days left was weak, SO that there
was not much harm done until the
seventh, when Daily learned to use his
right and kept it going on the body.
In the tenth round Days right did a
rushing business on Everhardt's body
and there was danger of a knockout.
Then Everhardt clinched and wrestled
and saved his skin until time was
called, and Referee Duffy declared it a
draw.

DERED TWO WHITE MEN.
Fought Like Demon Before Being
Taken; Then Begged His Captors
to Make Quick Work of Him.

Hopkins. the negro who murdered two
white farmers on Christmas day at
Glendora. small inland town near this
place, was captured by posse at day
light this morning on the James plan

like a demon before being taken into
custody and when arrested it was
found that the negro had been shot in
several places. He was not fatally in

to the scene of his terrible crime. Hop
kins confessed his guilt and did not
plead for mercy but begged his cap
tors to make quick work of him, and
little time was lost in carrying out the
request. A rope was placed about the
negro's neck and he was hanged to a
limb of a tree. The body was then rid

OPERATIVES YIELD.
Fall River Men Accept Reduction
Under Protest.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The
operatives conference committee was in
session two hours tonight after execu-
tive committee meetings of the various
unions had been held. Secretary
O'Donnell gave out the following reso-
luton which had been unanimously
adopted by the committee:
Resolved that we accept the reduc-
ton, as it would not be good business
policy on our part to enter into a
strike at the present time. But we in
form our employees that as soon as
we think there is enough margin Of
profit sufficient for the restoration Of
the present wage schedule we shall
demand it even if we have to go to
the extremity of leaving our employ
ment by going on strike
The feeling among the leaders to-
night is strong against the reduction
While the committee offers the resolu-
ton to the unions, there is a possibility
they will not accept it. The spinners,
slasher tenders and loom fiXers especi-
ally talk strike, and it is possible that
they may so vote at the meeting on
Thursday night.

MORE TA|LORS THAN BREAD
A PROPOSITION TO COLOMBO
KNIGHTS OF THE GOOSE.
If Forty Per Cent Were Turned Into
Thinkers and Painters, the Balance
Could Make a Living In Gotham.

New York, Dec 2S.-The Baron de
Hirsch association has decided that
There are too many men and women
employed in the clothing trade in the
eastern side of New York, and the
sooner the number is diminished by
starting colony for them elsewhere,
where they can learn different trades,
the better it viii be for all concerned.
will be for all concer ~ d.
This was decided upon after much
consideration. There are about $1,000
men and women employed in the differ
ent branches in the clothing trade in
this city They cannot all make liv-
ing. Because of the great number
wages have been greatly reduced.
Good pay for a weeks work is only
So, but not many can get work all the
week through. There are so many
eager to work that three or four days
a week is as long as they are wanted.
1t is believed that if 40 per cent of the
tailors can be induced to go elsewhere
where a colony can be started for them
the other 60 per cent can make COM
Portable living.
Meyer Schoenfeld, leader of the
Brotherhood of Tailors, says: 1.-THE idea
is very good one. Why I alone. could
get over 5000 to leave the city to start
d COIOuy NuGIe they Cc1l US Taught
other trades. They ought to be made
tinsmiths, carpenters, painters and the
like.
But before l could be induced to go
into this thing, 1 would have to set a
guaranty that if these men, with their
families, should consent to go away,
they must be supported for at least a
year. If this could be accomplished it
would bring the tailoring business to
the level of other trades, and there
would be less dissatisfaction and fewer
strikes
1t is the intention of the Hirsch as
ISOLATION to start several colonies in
the limits of Greater New York.
