Hanrahan Fights Gamely. hut LIS
Knocked Out in Seventeen Rounds.
William Hanrahan of New York was
knocked out in the seventeenth round of his
fight with Tommy West of Brooklyn. be-
fore the Seaside Sporting Club Of Coney
Island, last night after he had given West
one of the worst punishments that stockfly
built pugiist has received since he met Kid
Mccoy. West deserves all the credit due
him for his victory, but Hanrahan showed
to much better advantage, and his defeat
was only due to fis lack of experience in
fast ring tactics. He is big and powerful.
but West is his master in science.
In the second roNnd Hanrahan> opened
UP with right swing on the jaw, sending
West to the floor, but Tommy was up in
trice.
In the tenth round Hanrahar came up
like wild man and walloped Tommy" all
around the ring. West bided his time and
sent a couple of singing lefts to his OPP
pGnent' s face, but Hanrahan came back
with great strength and smashed and slug
ged his clever opponent almost to the verge
OF knockout. In the eleventh round Han
rakan kept forcing, and had West on the
ropes at the clang of the gong.
In the seventeenth West got his right
over to the back of the head and Eanrahan
sent back a heavy right on Vests body.
West then went to his man and swung his
clinch ard the referee separated them.
Hanrahan, still groggy, was not allowed to
recuperate, as West went after him ham
ner and tongs, dropping him with right
and left on the jaw. Hanrahan went down
heavily and was counted out.

THE SMOKE LAW.
Demand Upon the COMMISSIONER for
Its Enforcement.

Hardly day passes that the District
Commissioners are not urged by callers or
by correspondents to enforce what is known
az the smoke law" Commissioner Mac
farland, who has immediate charge Of the
matter. is being specially urged to cause
the prosecution of all violators of the law.
Speaking of the matter today Commission
er Macfarland stated to a reporter of The
Star that as soon as the Court Of Appeals
sustained the constitutionality of the act
he directed the inspectors to, ascertain as
rapidly as possible who were most serious
ly failing to comply with the law. begin
ming with the prominent firms whose cases
were decided adversely in the test case by
the Court Of Appeals. Prosecutions will be
continued in the old cases, Mr.. mcfarland
stated and begun in new cases. except
when in good faith the parties affected are
engaged in prompt efforts to comply with
the law, as number are already doing.
Mr. Macfarland thinks that in the case of
large establishments this may involve con-
siderable amount of time well as a large
expenditure of money. As the men affected
are all reputable and law-abiding citizens
he has informed them that a reasonable
opportunity will be given for every bona
fide attempt to meet the requirements Of
the law. He says 1t is only just to most
OF those who have been charged with fail
ure to comply with the law TO say that
they have shown disposition to meet its
requirements, and that they complain that
it is impossible to find an invention which
will absolutely consume smoke. SO that the

Mr.. c. ball and other residents and
property owners on G. street between ID
and Sd have petitioned the District Com
miSsioners not to permit authorize here
after the use of premises numbered 219 G
street as a printing establishment, or for
any manufacturing purpose requiring the
use of an engine engines or machinery
of any kind. A printing establishment has
existed on the premises, the petitioners
state, for about four years. and they
charge that the use therein of large print
ing presses and gas engines day and night
has greatly disturbed and annoyed them
The petitioners further state that because
OF the alleged annoyance they have found
great difficulty in obtaining tenants for
their property. Recently the printing es-
Establishment has been discontinued, and the
petitioners therefore pray that the use of
the property for such a purpose in the fu-
ture be not permitted, and that its use for
any manufacturing purpose requiring an
engine or engines be not allowed hereafter
Upon the.suggestion of the Engineer Com
missioner the petition has been referred to
the attorney for the District for an opinion
as to the authority of the Commissioners
in the case.

A LONG STANDING NUISANCE.
Mnj. GreenOuEh Makes Complaint of
Condition of Z Street.

Maj. Greenough. commandant of the
Washington barracks. has invited the at
tention of the District Commissioners to the
condition of street from the James Creek
canal to Delaware avenue along the reser
walton wall of the barracks. This thor
oughfare. states Maj. Greenough. is used by
a brickyard. owned by Messrs. John Miller
& Co. as a dumping ground for clay and
refuse brick. while fiat boats and scows are
nearly always so moored as to enable per-
sons to enter and leave the reservation
freely, to the great detriment of the reser-
walton and post.
LAS all this says Maj. Greenough has
been long-standing nuisance. apart from
being unsightly, l request that the brick
yard owners be enjoined from such misuse
of the street and avenue. and from mcoring
boats except opposite their own property.
Also that they be required to remove the
heaps of clay from p street. I have al
ready Informed you that the low ground
within the reservation may be used for
dumping clean refuse
The complaint will, it is understood be
referred to the police department. with ,ii-
rections to abate the alleged nuisance.

STATEMENT FROM GEN. WOOD.
Affairs of the Cuban Treasury Are In
Good shape.

UOOu SHapcs
A disnatch from Havana last night says:
General Wood has issued the following
statement:
1.-The examination by expert accountants
If the treasurer's office from the date OF
its inception last year has been competed.
The office was found In excellent condi-
ton. 1t has also been conclusively proved
that the charge of extravaganza in the
matter of salaries to Americans paid from
the island funds is absolutely without foun-
d.tion The fact of the case is that the
highest salaries paid in the Islands are
Maid to Cubans The reports of extrava-
gance in transportation and the like are
absolutely false.%
When interviewed today regarding this
statement, General Wood said
81 am much pleased at the result OF the
examination / engaged the best experts
to be obtained in the omted States anu ~,
gave them Instructions to be thorough IN
whatever they did. 1t is important to nave
the conclusions they have reacheo puollsn-
ed For we find it difficult to keep mill
tary men doing the work of civilians with
out extra pay. 1t is a thankless task Tor
them at the best, and they are called
thieves every day in the local papers
LAS to the charge that the oilceIs .l rue
about in carriages. l would say that there
is not one of them who has any more
facilities of that character than ne Wouio
be entitled in the United states unoer slmi-
lar conditions. Several onac!als IN the en-
cheering and sanitary departments have
conyeyances, but do not believe chat any
are allowed save where hack fare would
be more expensive"
Since his arrival here General Wood mas
devoted his energies very largely to the
public expenditures. and he has already
cut down the expenses of the city of Ha-
yana more than 100000 month.
Acting Director of Posts Br1StoW reports
that the post office at Matanzas City has
been reorganized and a Cuban postmaster
appointed.

played yesterday afternoon at National

best after heartbreaking finish by the

While the score was not one that could
be termed diminutive, still it was so close
as to make it sufficiently interesting for
the 800 spectators, who yelled themselves
hoarse over the victory of the Mantelis.
evidence, and his delivery from the rubber
was magnitcently supported by that vet
eran of the diamond Bill McMillen. Nc
Millen's experience with the wind pad has
made him one of the most desirable of
amateur backstops in the city, and his
good right arm cut off many of the VEN
turesome Hallwoods who aspired for the
second cushion.
William Sheridan Lee pitched for the
Hallwoods, and deserves much credit for
holding his head under trying circum-
stances. F. Ogle supported Lee during the
entire game.
Possibly the feature of the game was the
brilliant fielding of Alvin Dufour and
outs and swats with the earmarks of
triples were pulled down by these shifty
boys.
Harry Hammond captained the Hall
woods and did most of the coaching, while
Pat Wells showed good form. both on the
line and at the initial bag.
