of such a movement. He gave 1t as
his opinion that there could be no
foundation In fact for the report that
an alliance was contemplated between
the South American republics against
the United States. and to bear him out
in his opinion referred to the movement
started by Brazil with a contribution
of s250,000 for the purpose of estab-

FIGHTING REQUISlTl0N.
Armstrong; Oncns. Not Felony Under
Illinois Laws.


Illinois Laws.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. A hearing on
the application for a writ of habeas
corpus by William Armstrong of Chi
cago. charged with attempting to infiu-
ence a juror, was begun in the superior
court to-day. No decision was reached
and the hearing was adjourned till to-
morrow forenoon. Armstrong; attor-
ney said their main argument for his re-
lease was on the contention that the
offense with which he is charged is not
a felony under the laws of Illinois. They
also claimed that the record did not
show that the lieutenant governor of
Illinois had authority to make the de-
mand for Armstrong; extradition In
the absence of the governor from the
state. They went further and asserted
that under the federal law no state has
authority to delegate any such power
to anyone bu the governor of the state.
The prosecution submitted an affidavit
from Governor Tanner to the effect that
in his absence from the state the lieu
tenant governor had full power to exer-
else these functions of his office. The
affidavit was not admitted on the
ground of immateriality.

Denver, Colo, Aug. Aloe Choynski
of California was given the decision
over Mexican Pete" Everett of Grip
pie Creek in the seventh round of what
was scheduled as 25-round bout at the
Colorado Athletic club tonight Ever
EFT fouled Choynski repeatedly and in

hold on Choynski and brought him to
the floor in a heap. Referee Kinney
gave the fight to Choynski. Mexican
Pete made a rush and struck at the
referee The police and a number of
spectators jumped into the ring and
free-for-all fight was prevented by
dragging Mexican Pete to his corner
and the police assuming control of the
house. Choynski fioored Pete twice in
the sixth round and repeatedly punched
him in the nose, causing blood to squirt
over Everetts face, completely discol-
oring it. The agreement was that the
fighters would break at the command
of the retelee, which was seldom heed
ed by Everett. Choynski fought a clean
fight throughout and had little trouble
