DISTANCE WHEELING
4 Los XN6HIns 1oY BACK FROM
a LONG TRIP
Gustave Haas Returns From Trans
continental Journey Of Over
$4,000 Miles-Incidents

Gustave Haas left Los Angeles on
January "a, 1897. upon his twentieth
birthday, and arrived here last evening
at o'clock. having ridden $4,000 miles on
his wheel in that time, claiming to have
broken all worlds records for cross
country riding.
When he left he rode through Arizona
and New Mexico, after taking side
spin through Lower California, then
through the southern states to Atlanta.
Ca, then to the Nashville exposition, on
to st. Louis, Chicago, and thence to
Canada, then south to Mexico, then cast
again to New York, crossing the conti-
nent from west to east and the United
States from north to south.
During his trip Mr.. Haas participated
in many Of the eastern race meets and
was successful not only in winning, but
broke number of track records. While
In Kentucky he visited the Mammoth
cave and from there he rode to the great
Horse cave, distance Of ia miles, in
one day, breaking the Kentucky record
for cross country riding.
His experiences in Louisiana and
Mississippi were exciting. He passed
through that country during the yellow
fever epidemic and was thrown into the
pest house at number of places. At
others he was even less fortunate, the
citizens turning out with rifles and driv-
ing him out of the neighborhood as rap
idly as his wheel could carry him. Near
Texarkana, Ark, he was taken prisoner
by the moonshiners, who suspected him
Of being q government official. After
being satisfied as to his identity he was
liberated and paid $3.50 per day for the
time of his detention.
Mr.. Haas considers that his trip was
an eminently successful one as 1t was
taken in the interest Of the government
to determine the practicability of
using bicycles for sending dis
patches long distances. He car
ried fifty pounds, the same as a cavalry
man. riding one wheel the entire disN
tance, and on his way home used but ono
pair Of tires from Chicago, one of which
has never been punctured. On his ar
rival in Pasadena yesterday afternoon
he was given reception at the Y. M. C.
A. headquarters and today he will head
the bicycle division Of the parade In the
annual tournament of roses.

BUT CHOYNSKI CAN'T SEE II
THAT WAY
The Ambitious Kid Sees His Chance
for Match With Fitz
Slipping Away

NEW YORK, Dec. 31--McCoy's origi-
Choynski at 15s pounds as stepping
stone to match with Fitzsimmons,
brought up nice point of ring proceed
ure. Mccoy could have insisted that
Choynski meet him at 1853 pounds. At
the same time Mccoy was perfectly well
aware that Choynski could not reach
the middle-weight limit. He has de-
,ided to make a concession to Choynsk
Speaking on the subject, Mccoy said:
I'm order to get meeting with Choynsk
will agree to concede four pounds over
the middle weight limit. 1 will meet him
at the ring side at 162 pounds. which
consider a very fair proposition. To be
sure, if he is willing to go at 1853 I would
have no objection. I make this conces-,
sion to Choynski solely on the under
standing that if win Fitzsimmons will
then meet at the middle weight limit of
1873 pounds"
1t is not unlikely that Choynski will
accept the 1862 pounds proposition, al
though he would go into the ring rather
fine.
CHOYNSKI WON'T DO 1T
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-"Parson" Davies,
manager for Joe Choynski, the heavy
weight pugilist, today issued the follow
ing ultimatum in answer to Kid Nc
Coy's announcement that he would
meet the Californian at 1852 pounds;
Joe Choynski will fight Kid Mccoy
IT catch weights at any place and time
for a purse of $4,000. He will agree to no
particular weight"
Prospects for a meeting between the
two pugilists, therefore, are not very
bright at present. McCoy's first propo-
sition to Choynski was a meeting at 1853
pounds. He afterwards agreed to allow
Choynski to enter the ring at 162 pounds.
but Parson Davies will not listen to any
proposition limiting the weight Of
Choynski
Heretofore the question of weight
does not seem to have bothered Mccoy
so much,' he said today Now, why is
he so particular in this instance? He
fought Creedon at catch weights and to
Joe after the Long Island City match he
said nothing about 162 pounds.
1--WE will not agree to pull the fight
off at Carson City just to please Dan
Stuart. That is too far away. And we
won't postpone the match until next
summer, either, to please Mccoy and
Dan Stuart"

1t is curious fact that the reten-
tiou of McLeavy Brown in charge of
the customs service of Korea and the
checkmating of the plans of Alexieff,
the Russian who had been chosen to
oust the British official, was due to an
English woman living in San Fran
cisco. She is Mrs. Emma Endres,
correspondent of the London Times.
Alexietf came through New York and
Washington without attracting atten-
ton, but when he reached San Fran
cisco Mrs. Endres found his name in
the personal columns of the papers.
She knew his position as Russian fnan-
cial agent, and promptly cabled the
fact to the Times that he was in San
Francisco, and had secured passage
to Yokohama and from there to Korea.
The fact that he came secretly by this
roundabout way excited her suspi.
cions, and she suggested investiga
ton. The Times conveyed the news
to the government, and thus by liberal
use of the cable Great Britain was
able to checkmate the Russians de-
sign of ousting McLeavy Brown.

for any large number of people in any

shelter for the people now in Alaska
