Attorney General Boyle says the leg

session at the senate chamber has no
power to compel witnesses to testify
against their wishes.
Mr. Boyle said today: There is no

ITO test this matter" suggested a
reporter, why don't this committee put
Clark in Jail for contempt in refusing
to obey their instructions to answer
questions?"
THAT is impossible. The legislature,
in my opinion, neglected to clothe this
committee with the necessary power to
make the investigation what it should
be, that is, to compel witnesses to testi-
fly, enforce its orders, and to sit as

WAS FITZ GALVANIZED?
Prof Lucien Blake's Startling Elk
PLANTATION of Corbett's Defeat.


Kansas City, April 10.-Prof Lucien
Blake thinks Bob Fitzsimmons may
have been galvanized when he met Cor
bett.
Prof. Blake said today there was no
doubt that electricity in the human
body formed a powerful stimulant. It
would multiply the muscular power
and endurance for the time being and
increase the courage to a point of in
Vincibility
1T should be done,'' said Prof. Blake,
''by immersing the subject in water and
him. He would not feel it, but would
arise filled with invincible power and
courage"
Have you tried it?''
Prof. Blake smiled.
There is no question about this fact;
it has been demonstrated he replied.
Prof. Blake would not tell where or
on whom it was tried, but asserted
again that a wrestler, foot ball player,
or pugilist loaded up with electricity
would be invincible against an oppo-
nent not SO supercharged and stimu-
lated.
Furthermore, it could be done with
out inconvenience or detection and
would only be known as an incredible
power to sustain punishment and phys
zeal strain.

he got in the left hand body Shift"
Prof. Blake smiled again without re-

Everybody knows the wonderment of
the spectators at the great fight over
the "recuperative powers" of Fitzslm-
mons, who sustained seemingly annihi-
lating punishment and remained strong
enough, after thirteen rounds, to fell
Corbett with body blow.
Corbett himself does not suspect the
truth, and still wonders how he was
whipped.
Il felt a queer, singing sensation
when F'itz and I clinched!"
This was Corbett's explanation of his
visit on Wednesday to the Kansas City
physician who examined him before,
but who now refuses to be responsible

Detroit, Mich, April 1O.-The import
ant business features of yesterdays
session of the international association
Of Young Women's Christian associa-
lions was the report on the adjustment
committee appointed two years ago to
confer with a like committee of the
other Y. w. G. A. in regard to uniting
the two bodies.
Miss R. F. Morse of Orange, N. J.,
chairman of the committee reported
that it had been found wholly imprac-
ticable to amalgamate the associations.
The chief reason for this is the in
ability to come together on the evan
gelical question. The association now
in convention requires that its active
members be members of churches; the
other association has no such rule.
Charity is a leading feature of the lat
ter, and while the former works in
philanthropic lines, spiritual and tenn
poral education are its Distinguishing
traits rather than dispensing of aims
Miss Morse's report stated that the
committees had agreed to recommend
that the associations aid each other in
certain ways and that they, at all
events, are not to conflict with each
other. The report will doubtless be
adopted. This afternoons programme
included an address by Prof. Taylor,
warden of Chicago commons, and one
by Prof J. NJ. Coulter, of the Univers-
ity of Chicago.

BULLY YfN0 UNNECESSARY.

Theodore Roosevelt, the assistant secre-

opening of the War College at Newport
yesterday gave vent to sentiment well
worth consideration. "No national life is
worth having" he said, sunless the nation
is willing, when the need shall arise, to
stake everything on the supreme arbitra-
'ment Of war to pour out it's blood, its
treasure and its tears like water, rather
than submit to the loss of honor and
renown."
Undoubtedly this is true, but the lingo
element is apt to put the wrong construc-
tion upon the remark. II Is not the part
Of national life to 60 around looking for a
fight. The national bully resembles the
terror Of the schoolyard of years ago-he is
