EDITOR AND MANAGER JAILED
CHARGES OF EMBEZZLEMENT
AGAINST ARENA EMPLOYEES.
Men Arrest ed Decline To Talk Further
Than To Say Other Arrests
Will Follow.

Boston. Mass. February 16.-(Special.)-

sThe Arena. and with {. Seldom Smart.

accomplishments. Receiver Chandler said to-
might that the arrest was n surprise 10
him. and there is a disposition to keep the
facts back. The fact of the arrest was not
put on the police blotter. Flower and
Clark say that arrest for malicious
prosecution will follow. Flower was ar
rested at his home. No. l53 Aspinwall ave-
nue.. Brookline. at $50 D. m. Both men
were bailed out.
II IS claimed that the complainants are
making test case as there are about
hundred other cases of creditors the value
of whose claims will depend on the result
of this case. Flower is not in robust health
and the action is big surprise here.

extravagant boasts of how easy he is
going to do it.
Long ago Fitz admitted Corbett's worth.
admitted II even stronger than he is in
cincd to do now. When Corbett was
whipping Sullivan in New Orleans Fitz
was at the ring side and was sitting in the
same box with James L. Lynch, of At
lanta- FitZ was Interested spectator
throughout the battle. and while the men
were I'm their chairs between rounds near
the end of the fight some one asked Fitz
what he thought of the fight.
"Oh. the old man is whipped now" he
said. THAT Corbett IS certainly clever
fighter. lie IS the cleverest man in Amer
lea, and | don't think the man has yet
been born who can whip him.
True that was SAID a long time ago.
and much hns been done since by both
men Titz may have forgotten the re-
mark but there are those who heard It
who have not forgotten it.
Since the night Fitz made that remark
he has shown great eagerness to 20 up
against tbs man of whom he spoke so
highly. and I am inclined to think If Fitz
doesn't do Corbett that he was about right
when he said the man had not been born
who could whip him"
Iitz is "a much cooler man than Corbett,
ana IN that Fitz has decidedly the adj
vantage. If Corhett ever loses his head
as he did when he went against Mitchell
said that Fitz can't hit hard enough To
nut Corbctt away. but that is all mis-
take There are those who incline to the
opinion that Fitz can hit n harder blow
than Ccrbett. Fitz has knocked out more
men than Corbett has. and II IS certain
that If ever Fitz does land squarely on the
Californian he will put him TO sleep Let
the Australian fight like he always fought
and the fight will not he a long one. Fitz
IS not n slow man. lie never waits for
a fight to he brought TO him but always
goes right after his man. If he continues
these tactics when he meets Corbctt. Cor
bett won't run away from him. He may
slip and duck but il viii be only TO keep
from fighting at close range and TO hunt
for an opening. Then if F'itz leads Wild
like he does sometimes. like ne did when
he went against Maher n year ago. he is
apt to meet with disaster. as Corbett is
not i'm the habit of throwing away "a blow.
But on the other hand If Fits wild leads.
he SAYS lie makes them to confuse his
opponent. cause Corbett 20 rattle, Fitz Will
find an opening. The probabilities are, how
ever. that both men will carry new line
into the ring and that the fight will be
long and stubborn.

This SO angered those who had cut under

SOME INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS

There are probably no laws the observance Of
which is more desirable than those bearing upon
the dealings Of one country with another. Upon
them depend not only the issues Of peace and
war, but also the maintenance of cordial rela-
tons between peoples and the extension Of
commerce and advance Of civilization Nor is
that all The violation of them is injurious in
an especial degree, to regard for domestic law
and order. The very fact that such laws are to
be transgressed with less danger of punishment
than those relating to domestic and local az
fairs makes such transgresson the more vicious
A government can far better-for purely selfish
reasons not to mention those Of higher order
permit breaches Of It's own domestic law than
OF international law or Of its own neutrality
and other statutes which regulate irs relation
ship with It's neghbors. These facts are so
trltc as to seem trusms yet II Is not unproht-
able TO recall them at a time when attempts nj
infractions of snch laws are disagreeably com
mon
II Is desirable however, TO keep in mind ex-
actly what are the requirements of international
law and of the neutrality laws Of the Individual
nation. If this be done. many Of the injudcious
and untenable proposals Of the day Will he
avoided. The other day. for example II was
reported that men We're going and ammunition
was being shipped from Chicago TO Jacksonville,
TO be forwarded from the latter place to the
insurgents in Cuba. Wherefore 1t was declared
