including Kessler, had been visiting in
the city yesterday. Among the places Wis
listed was a West End brewery. There an
argument arose over the much talked of
trouble between Admirals Dewey and Died
erich, after the victory of the former in
Manila Bay. Which end of the argument
Kessler supported could not be learned, but
that he backed UP his end was amply evil
denced by the battered physiognomy Of
Erlel.
According to the story told, the argu-
ment continued from the brewery to Fiji
teenth Street, where the fight occurred.
At a late hour last night Kessler had not
been arrested. Erlel in fact, did not de-
clare any intention of prosecuting him.
