dens Hobart for the first time since he
was attacked with grip presided over
the senate today.
Senator Bacon presented Q resolu :
tion postponing the annexation of Cuba

the large trusts doing business in all
parts of the country is being discussed
by the members of the state legisla-
ture which has just assembled and
there are good prospects that the
movement will crystslize into form.
Since the Standard Oil Company in
, corporated under the laws of New Jer-
sey in 1882, nearly all the big trusts
have found it to their interest to follow
it's example with the result that there
are no less than score of the biggest
trusts incorporated in the state, giving
it the unenviable distinction of being
known as the "Credle of Trusts"
The F. deral Seel company with a
capital of s2oD. OOo, 900, heads the list.
Other big tr st, which have found

Lead Company, s14.OOO.OOO; the Sugar

American Tobacco Company, $4,000
900, the American Mailing Company,
$14, ,O00, 900. and the American Cotton
Oil Company, S2O,OOO,OOO. Last year
alone trusts were incorporated in New
Jersey with an aggregate capitalization
of over half a billion dollars.
While this remarkable array of fig
ures has been piling up year after
year serioussminded persons have been
gradually approaching the conviction
that the day mus come when q check
must be placed upon the monopolistic
aggregations of capital which seek
the incorporating laws of New Jersey
as q harbor of refuge. It is argued
that the good name of the state has
been injured in this respect far beyond
the pecuniarY return it receives by
fostering the monopolies.
Now that the initiative has been tax

only q question of time until the incor-
poration laws of New Jersey ere modi-

legislature which assembled today will
have q great quantity of legislative
work to occupy it's time after the SEN
atorship has been disposed of.
Both the republicans and democrats
are pledged to the enactment of law
prohibiting the use of railroad passes
by the state Legislators. Among the
Legislators of both parties however
there is more or less secret opposition
to the proposed measure and whether
q stronger and more effective
law in this regard will
be adopted is q question that
awaits an answer at the hands of the
general assembly itself.
Another measure that will receive
early attention is primary election
law to do away with machine control
of party conventions by providing that
nominations for all state Offices be
made by direct vote of the people.
Bills will be passed compelling sleep
ing car and express companies to pay a
tax on their earnings. A similar
measure was passed two years ago, but
was vetoed by Governor Scofeld be-
cause it was not voted on constitution
ally by the legislature.

north Of here, all the way to Denver.

trouble with rough set

''there we're over one hundred of them

as the weather was warmer In this
country they all headed this way.
This gang is scattered all along the

stopped in and my business required
me to stop In nesrly ell towns be-
tween Denver and here. The gang
is not composed of men that are Will
ing to work, but they seem to
be of . class that would much rather
steal than work and they do it when
ever the opportunity is afforded them.
1t would be we'll for the officials on this

WILL CHALLENGE FITZ
John L. Sullivan Says What
He Thinks About the
Science Of Hard
Hitting.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Nearly ten
thousand people Witnessed the Sharkey
Mccoy mill here last night, which con-
trary to the expectations OF large
number of the spectators was won
by Sharkey at the end of the tenth
round.
1t was q splendid battle and splen-
did victory for the Irishmau. And to-
day he stands as the only heavy weight
possibility sfor lchampion ship honors
and the title now held by Bob Fitzsim-
mons.
It was to have been . twenty round
battle but the sailor whipped Mccoy
good and hard in the tenth round and
he was unable to respond when time
was called.
The men entered the ring at 1923 p.
M, after two preliminary bouts had
been fought by the.lesser lights, Carter
andStrauss and Broad and Patterson.
McCoy's seconds were Doc Payne,
Con Reilly, Frank Erne. Time-keeper,
Nate Fenton of Buffalo. Toms seconds
were Tom O'Rourke, Tommy Ryan,
Dixon and Jack .Dougherty. Time
keeper, Prof. Jim Oeforrest.
Sharkey' 'sSweight was 172 and Nc
Coy's 1853 pounds. Mccoy wore white
running trunks aud q belt sbearing the
stars and .stripes. Tom wore green
trunks, with belt of American colOrs.
They shook hands atg10:30.
The betting ruled 100 to 80 in favor
of Mccoy.
SarKey had the best of it all the way
through and in the eighth and tenth
round fioored his man with well direct
ed blows. After providing Mccoy to
the ropes in the tenth Sharkey struck
him back of the ear with
his right and the kid fell
face downward. The referee then said
the kid could go no further and award
ed the fight to Sharkey.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Last nights
great fight was the topic of converse
ton everywhere this morning. It is
doubtful if any cleverer heavy weight
barring possibly Corbett, has ever
been seen in this part of the country
than Mccoy.
AS far as straight out-and-out boxing
went, the young hoosier gave q superb
exhibition, but in spite of his agility,
his clever defense, and quick, sharp,
snappy blows, coupled with his excel
lent genersl-ship, Mccoy was unable to
stand of the Herculean fighter, who
finally beat him to the floor.
Sharkey's victory puts him next to
- oh q Hof
the ex-sailor intends to challenge Fitz
in the near future is shown by his re-
marks after the fight. Pulled and
swollen as his face was from McCoy's
hard jabs, but wearing pleased smile
withal, .Sharkey said: II am now
ready to fight for the championship.
OF the fight itself he said: II won
this fight fair and square. I simply
knocked my man out and did it in good
time My eye was blackened q little but
otherwise am unhurt. The blow that
Knocked me down was q dandy"
John L. Sullivan said: 81 guess all
the world is glad to see that hard
fighting is still the thing. Fencers
and sparrers come and go, but fencing
is not fighting; If it was, Frenchman
would be champion of the whole world,
and that disgrace hope we shall never
see.
ssScience is all very we'll and clever
ness is good, but heart wins the bat
tie. Heart and hard hitting. Three
cheers for Sharkey, the game sailor,
and three cheers for every man who
can take q good punch and give one."
