JULIAN's LAST DEMAND.
Fitz Won't Fight Before the Camera Unless NJ
Shares the Profits.

Carson, New. March 16.-Dan Stuart
is up against another snag in the per-
son of Martin Julian. who has demanded
third of the receipts that may come
to Stuart from exhibiting the photo
graphs of the fight. AZ the time of the
signing of articles of agreement, Julian
asked for a share of the money that
would accrue from this. and he was told
by Stuart that If any bids were made for
the right to take pictures Of the fight
Julian would be given a chance to be
in on the returns. No bids have been
made, however. as Stuart has been in
tending to take the photographs with q
machine which belongs to him for the
most part.
Julian has told Stuart he wanted the
receipts from the exhibition of photo
graphs to be divided into three equal
parts, one to go to Stuart, one to Fitz-
simmons and Julian, and the remaining
third to Corbett. Julian said that IL this
demand was not granted Fitzsimmons
would refuse to fight before the camera,
although he was willing to fight for the
purse If ehe camera is taken from the
arena. The pictures are considered by
Stuart his one chance of getting back
some Of the eney he has advanced for
the fighters in the last three years, and
he is much worried over the demand
made by Julian.
Dan Stuart, when asked concerning
the demand made by Julian. said: There
Is one thing certain, and that is there will
be fight between Fitzsimmons and
Corbett tomorrow. I have not had any
trouble with Julian, and do not expect
to have any. There are certain things
governing this thing, and If Julian is
not willing to abide by them he can pack
his trunk and go home. That contin-
gency Will not arise, however, and am
entirely safe in saying that any trouble
may have with anybody will not pre-
vent the fight from coming off. Moth
ing that has arisen up to this time and
that may hereafter arise between Mr..
Julian and myself or any other person
and myself is going to prevent that fight.
1t will surely come off il one of the prin-
cipals does not die by the time set for
the battle. Julian will have his man in
that ring on March II il 1 do not counter
mand my present arrangements to the
men to be ready to fight on the MORN
ing OF that day, and have no intention
or countermanding my arrangements"
Notwithstanding his difficulty with
Julian. Stuart has no doubt that the bir
fight will be pulled Off according to pro-
gram. for he says that three fights will
be pulled or March II. The present pro-
gram is to have the great fight AT AZ
close to II a. m. as possible, and thew
nave been ordered to be in their dressing
rooms by 10. If the sun is not fayorahle
to the taking of pictures the Smith
Green fight will be put on, and wait
VIII be made in this way until the sun-
light Is favorable. If conditions do suit
the photographer at the end Of the f,rst
nght then the big one will be called in an
PROBABILITY. though the sun NAV Sc
given second chance by putting q
flaherty and Hawkins before Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett have been called into
the arena. No matter what the condi-
tons may be at the termination Of the
Fiaherty- Hawkins fight the event Of the
gay Will be called and the photographers
must take his chances. II the rreat
neht should be first, the other two win
follow in short order, and It Is the present
intention Of Stuart, weather permittinr.
TO nave all the three fights in ono day.
