DECISION AGAINST JANEY.
Given Because Al. Herford Jumped
Into the Ring

James Watts was given the decision
over James Janey in the seventh round
of their fight at Louisville last night be-
cause of the action of AL. Herford,
Janeys manager, in rushing into the
ring when his man was down. Janey was
whipped, however, and it is doubtful if
he could have lasted the round Herford
claimed that Watts fouled Janey. The
referee, Ed. Rucker, refused to allow the
claim and gave the fight to Watts. The
men fought at catch weights, and each
announced that he was at 14I pounds.
Watts was in better condition than
Janey.
Janey was defeated because he waited
too long for an opportunity to land a
knockout Watts wore him down by con-
slant jabs and incidentally by hugging
him and choking off his wind. They
fought cautiously during the first round
and until the latter part of the second.
when Watts rushed Janey into his corner
and landed several blows on face and
head He continued his tactics and drew
first blood in the fifth round, while in the
sixth he wrestled Janey to the floor.

Grnnd-."The Finish of Mr.. FRESH

Al. H. Wilson, George w. Day. Harry
Earle, John and Nellie Mccarthy, Fannie
Bloodgood, Kathryn Klare and the Stew
art Sisters made excellent use of a Scott
Marble vehicle, entitled THE Finish of
Mr.. Fresh yesterday al the Grand. The
piece itself contained nothing so good as
its intermissions, but these were admir-
ably filled by the people named above,
who compose one of the best vaudeville
companies seen here in long time. The
performance needs sparkle and life to
a sad degree. but the specialists manage
to inject a deal of humor and melody
that would pay one for the time and
money spent in watching the show. There
are a great many opportunities in the
ground work of The Finish of Mr..
Fresh. and when these are fully realized
there can be no doubt of the plays sue
cess. At present the vaudeville bill can
only be commended highly. Have You

OF all the condolences ''gracing the
s,sga, Of the present day none has
larger following than Della Fox. The
little woman's chic manner, her hard
work and ready wit have won for her an
extended circle of friends. and ii was
of This clientele that the large audience
gathered last evening at the New Ma
tional was composed. The occasion was
in the first metropolitan presentation OF
a new operate comedy. entitled The
Little Host" written by Edgar Smith,
Louis DeLange, Thomas Chilvers, W.
Francis and a few others. The multiple
inv of perpetrators may account Tor
lack Of cohesiyeness. which is everywhere
manifest in the piece. Ii is probable,
however. that need of proper rehearsal
and stage direction may account for
this.
There is nothing startling in THE
Little Host" The promised uniquity of
the entire female chorus fails 10 sensa-
tionalize, as all appear in too unabbreVl-
ated costumes to arouse even suspicion
of resentment in a surpiced minister.
Stil, these many pretty women-and
they are really good looking in their
vari-hued costumes-may well be con-
sidered the most notable part of the com

striking. and not inharmOniously so,
either.
There is little in the plot, and. indeed,
its absence is not noted However the
very vestige of a story cramps some of
the principals all of whom have too lit
tie to do. This is especially the case
with John Slavin and Eugene O Rourke,
each of whom would be abundantly able
TO disturb the funereal aspect of many
of the plays scenes did opportunity and
the stage manager permit, which they
do not Hugh Chilvers is comic in a
way he does not intend He is so humor-
Gus that ne is pathetic. One feels for
him. Poor Bob Graham is also bound
up in words. and fails to score, his work
being all too similar to that accomplish
ed in the late lamented Pacific Mail"
Regarding Miss Fox, it is with regret
that attention must be called TO her lack
of opportunity. Only for a moment does
she resume her pristine brilliancy and
chicness. Her friends wanted to see
her do well. and were disappointed. Per-
haps this will disappear, but the star
appears worried with the undertaking
before her Her songs are unsuited. and
her business is far from natural. Mable
Bouton is refreshing in an ingenue role,
and her bit with Miss Fox is one of the
best of the evening.
Summing up. candOr demands that "The
Little Host be deemed far from sue
cess. Rehearsal, the insertion of spe-
calties Of a lively nature, and the cut
ting Of an aggregation of old-tine and
useless business may make the piece go.
Della Fox deserves a better vehicle in
which to travel and so do her accom-
panying principals.

THE MOODY CHOIR.
Reorganization Plans Under Discuss
sion Today.

sion Today.
Mr.. Percy S. Foster, director of the
Moody Choir. has issued a call for
meeting this afternoon of the members
of the choir in the lecture room of the
First Baptist Church. Plans for the re-
organization of the choir will be discuss
ed.
1t is said that the membership is so
large as to make the choir unwieldly and
it has been suggested that the old organi
cation. be disbanded, and new choir
formed of the picked singers of the old
organization, and the inaugural and
Christion Endeavor choruses of the city.
The Moody Choir was organized in 1891,
to assist at the meetings being conducted
in the city by Evangelist Moody at that
time. The finances of the choir are said
to be in a first-class condition.

BURNED AT THE STAKE,
Oklahoma Ravishers Meet a Swift ane
Awful Death.

Earlboro, O. t., Jan. 10-A mob OF
thirty white settlers chained Lincoln
McGelsy and another Seminole half
breed to tree near Maud postoffice,
Seminole nation, and burned them to
death, for the murder and outrage OF
Mrs. Frank Leard, whose husband ha.
land leased from the Seminoles.
The sight of the charred bodies is ar
awful one. The flesh is burned from
the bones, and lies in greasy and i'll
smelling particles in the ashes on tn,
ground. The fingers and hands are
burned from the frames, and the
ghastly skeletons, bereft of feet and
ankles, stand on blackened bones in the
ashes on the ground. Every vestige OF
hair and flesh are burned from the
heads, and the clinched teeth of the
dead men show the great determination
to endure their awful punishment in
silence, in which condition the red men
died. The scene is a fascinating one
for the curious, and has been visited by
many people.
The men implicated three other Sem
inoles, and squads of white settlers are
hunting them through the country
around Maud
The mob declare that the burned
bodies of McGelsy and his confederate
shall not be removed from the tree un-
til the others are caught and pay the
same penalty for the brutal murder.
