DISGRACEFUL FIASC0.
Corbrtt-shRrkey Contest In New York Ends
In sharkcy being Declared Winner.
Hut All bets ON.

New York, Nov aS-The Sharkey.
Corbett fight, which was witnessed by
the largest and most representative
gathering OF sporting men that ever
congregated to see ring contest,
ended in most disgraceful fiasco last
night at the Lenox Athletic club.
Corbett had all the worst OF the en-
counter, when one OF his seconds.
"Connie" McVey, jumped into the
ring, appealing to the referee, thus
violating the rules, and the referee.
"Honest John" Kelley, had no alterna-
tive but to disqualiiy Corbett and
award the bout to Sharkey. McVey's
interference was absolutely mex.
cusable, and the referee, believ-
ing that there was lob in Nc
Vey's action, took 1t upon himself
to declare all bets off. Before KEEL
ley did so. however, many OF those
who had bet on Corbett. and they were
legion, appealed to the referee to take
such action, while Sharkeyites shouted
against such interference on Kelley's
part and protested that he had no au-
thority to declare the bets of. Those
who believed that Sharkey could not
fight fairly changed their opinion after
the bout had gone one round. On the
other hand, Corbett hit the sailor in
the body rather low and Sharkey pro-
tested. Sharkey's quickness and ag-
gression was astonishing from the very
beginning. and from the first 1t was
evident that he held Corbett safely.

dent rs to what transports were to be
used. Replying to other questions he
said the food was ample, and, with
the exception OF the canned roast beef,
good. The beef was very bad.
Col. Roosevelt told OF the voyage To

There was great scarcity OF material
for landing men and horses.
Col. Roosevelt, still replying to ques-
tons, told in detail OF the march OF his
regiment to its first camping place.
Asked about the rations, he said:

STATE AID FOR ROADS.
Convention ut 10. Louis Plans for Improv-
ing Missourrs Hlghways-To Have the
Consultation Amended.

St Louis, Nov. 28.-The Missouri
Good Roads and Public improvements
association will submit TO the legisla-
ture this winter o bill to create q
board Of road commissioners to be
known as the state highway commits
sion. Proceeding upon well studied
plan the Transmississippi Good Roads
association, in its convention here, has
decided that this Is the best plan to
start legislation to give the state q
better road system. 1t Is the purpose
Of the association to have tho state
constitution so amended that the state
may aid the counties in building roads
Finding that It would be unconstitu-
tional for the Legislature TO pass law
authorizing the state TO pay for coun-
by roads. the idea OF commission was
hit upon. The delegates believe that
with the right kind OF highway COM
mission there will be no trouble In
amending the constitution and giving
the counties state aid.
Among those who are assisting In
the convention is Gen. Martin Dodge,
Of the department Of agriculture. He
gave some statistics which 60 to show
how the public roads have been neg.
lected in the United States. He said:
There has been no advancement In the build
Ing OF public roads 10 the last 10 years II costs
rs much now TO take the products OF the coun-
try over the public roads Us II did 30 years ago
The rate OF steam transportation averages
one-half cent o ton per mile. while the
cost OF transportation by wagon road Is %
,ents ton per mile. the same Us II was
70 years ngo. In other words, IL costs
rs much to carry ton OF product i've miles on q
country road rs ltdoes to carry the same freight
so miles by steam. This cost comes directly
out OF the pockets OF the agricultural classes
We need the same energy and intelligence TO
reduce the cost OF road transportation that has
accomplished the reduction OF railway trans
portation. With good roads daily mail and

The amendments which will be made
TO the war tax bill next winter will
not materially cut down the sum total
of receipts from that source. Unequal
tiles will be leveled, n few features
which are annoying to the masses and
which embarrass business may be
stricken out, obscure points may be
cleared up, but the law as whole will
not be changed. The principal reason
for this non-nction will be that the
government will need the revenue.
The war tax produces about $40, 900, 600,
and that amount will be required In
addition to the revenue from laws pre-
viously enacted.
