The wedderburn Case.

The Court of Appeals yesterday after
noon handed down decision in the fa-
nous Wedderburn case. The opinion,
written by Justice Morris, holds that the
order of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, refusing a writ of man
damus was right, and therefore affirns it.
The proceeding was an application for a
writ of mandamus by John Wedderburn
to require the Secretary of the Interior
to give him a hearing in respect to GER

for his exclusion from the patent law

There has been much talk recently
about the way boxing contests have been
conducted in San Francisco. 1t has
been charged thar nearly all the fights
held there in the past two years have
been fixed IN The interest of a gang of
pool-room sharks. If a fight didn't go
the way their mob wanted il TO go,
il was 50 arranged that il was dead sure
that ii would not go the other way. The
gang was usually made secure by the
selection Of a referee OF it's naming. The
Sharkey bout is pointed to
as q sample Of the work of the gang
as are also the Dixon and Smith and
Wolcott and Lavigne contests, and there
are few among the better class Of sport
ing men who do not express the opinion
that If something is not done to
head these robbers off they will kill box
ing on the Coast.
Parson Davies, who was interested in
the Mccoy Bonner match at New Or
leans, has returned to Chicago and will

not regard the boxing situation at New
Orleans as very serious. He is of the
opinion that rivalry in politics was the
cause of the failure Of the Mccoy Bonner
affair, and that the trouble Will soon blow
