NEW YORK, March 18.-Charles r.
Flint, treasurer of the United States
Rubber company, on being shown a
statement that there was col1usion be-
tween the United States Rubber COM
pany and competing companies in fix
ing prices, states: LAS testified be-
fore the Lexow committee, there never
was any contract between the United
States Rubber company and the outside
companies as to prices. and deny that
there has been any collusion in fixing
the prices this year between the United
States Rubber company and the other
rubber companies. AS foreshadowed
some time ago 1t was deemed advisable
by the directors of the United States
Rubber company to give the consumer
the benefit of economy by reducing the
prices for the coming year. 1t will un-
doubtedly result in a great increase in
the volume Of business, and while 1t is
not for the purpose of interfering with
the creation of new companies, possibly
this may be the result. Prices OF
Goodyear India Rubber Manufacturing
Company. the Candies Company and
other standard brands are the same"

SAN FRANCISCO. March 1s-James
]. Corbett remained in his rooms at the
st. Nicholas hotel today, and spent
most Of the day lying down. He rose
early and had q hearty breakfast served
in his rooms. after which he read the
papers, devouring every word printed
about the fight. Then he laid down and
did not rise until a dentist called by ap-
pointment to repair the tooth shattered
by Fitzsimmons at Carson yesterday.
Jim shows little outward marks Of his
encounter, but he Is weak from the ef-
fects Of the terrible heart blow and
says he has intermittent shooting pains
in his left side. His physician. how
ever. says he will suffer no permanent
injury, although the shock to both ner-
vous and physical system has been
severe.
Corbett was first amused and then an
Doyed at the report brought over the
wires that he was dead. He said he was
the liveliest corpse ever en- route to q

and willingness to fight Fitzsimmons or

Which Proved Of No Value to Referee
Siler
CARSON, March 1S.-Just before the
fight an interesting conversation took
place in Corbett's dressing roUn at the
arena, between the champion and Ref
cree Sller Corbett opened the conver-
sation by saying:
George, I want to win this fight
fairly"
How do you think that you are going
to win IT.. that you make such remark
as that?" asked Siler.
"Oh, I don't mean any reflection on
you,' rejoined Corbett, "but there are
a thousand of my friends from San Fran
cisco at the ring-side and they will not
stand it to see me lose. If Martin Julian
goes to get into that ring he will have
the whole top Of his head blown off"
THAT means, suppose" said Siler,
'that IL don't do just right that the
whole top Of my head will be blown
Off"
mot at ALL" Corbettreplied, but my
friends will not stand for me to lose"
"I'll tell you one thing" said Siler,
land that is the very best that you're
going to get out of this thing will be an
even break. That is all you are entitled
to and it is all that you're going to get.
That Is all that Fitzsimmons has COM
ing to him and he will get just that and
nothing more. 1t is possible that may
lose my head and make mistake. but
I am going to be careful and I will see
that both of you will get an even break
and nothing more"
Corbett again declared that he had not
meant that any attempt would be made
to intimidate the referee, but that he
feared the feelings of his friends could
not be restrained in case they saw him
losing. The end of the fight, however,
was so quick and so decisive that there
was no room for argument on the part
of the friends of Corbett or anybody
else.
