BOXING IN GREATER NEW YORK
Boss Plat Snid to Have Agreed to n
New Law.

Boss PIott Sntd to Have Agreed to n
New Law.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-There is a pos
sibility that boxing will be resumed in
Greater New York shortly after the next
Legislature convenes, but not under the
control Of the clique that virtually mo-
nopolized the game during the existence
of the Horton law. Several attempts were
made in those happy days by parties with
Republican backing to establish clubs in
this city. After leasing buildings and 60
ing to much expense the promoters were
unable to procure licenses and were froz-
en- out.
The scheme now is to pass a bill in the
next Legislature that will keep the box
ing game out of the hands of the Sulli-
van-O Rourke contingent and give
chance to few gentlemen who are
close to Boss Plat. Several Republican
politicians have expressed themselves
openly since election day to the effect
that big percentage of the New York
public want boxing and should be allow
ed to indulge in their favorite sport.
Senator Platt is said to have given his
consent to the proposed measure and
promised to assist iifs faithful followers
TO get some of The easy money that is
supposed to flow. into the treasures of
boxing clubs. One prominent Republic
can is quoted as saying:
Yes. there is such a plan under con-
sideration, and the prospects are that we
will succeed in our venture. There is no
reason why we shouldn't be allowed to
pull of boxing shows. just like certain
Democratic politicians We're permitted to
do. We are confdent'of being able to get
-, at nj fyiy tka

clans who enjoyed the monopoly under the

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Hanna
associates on the Executive Committee OF
the Republican National Committee,
Messrs. Bliss. Manley, Gibbs, Scott. and

teftaining feature q the dinner was the

This was due to the fact that Senator
Hanna does not want to talk to Governor
Roosevelt. He did not want Roosevelt

President was equally opposed to him.

welt has tried to make peace with Hanna.
but to an elaborate telegram OF con-
gratulations the Senator's only reply
thus far has been a very eloquent amount
of silence.
At Hanna's request yesterday, Gov
ernor-e elect Odell, whom he likes was
early telegraphed to come to the dinner.
Late in the evening Mr.. Richardson
thought of Governor Roosevelt and te.e-
graphed him, but at the time he was
told the Governor would not be talk
to by Hanna. Mr.. Richardson said If
the Governor should be able to get to
the city he would act as a go-between,
as he was on terms with both men and
could talk to each as occasion required. /

The Chicago advance yesterday in 100
pound lots was / cent pound. fiat. on all
kinds of meats. This advance will force
the retail dealers to raise their prices
from to 5 cents a pound, in order 10
keep their present rate of profits, as they
pay the trusts for a large amount OF
waste and for other portions of the car
, casses which they must sell below the
1G0-pound price.
The wholesale price of beef. mutton, and
pork has been from to II cents. The
advance is thus about 10 per cent The
advance in the retail prices will be about
% per cent on the average 1t is estimated.
This advance in wholesale price is the.
second recently made, the total advance
being now $3.50 per hundred pounds. The
retail price is already much higher than
it was during the summer.
A number of the local butchers and meat
men were seen yesterday by Times re-
porter regarding the proposed increase
in prices.
U. S. C. Hoover said: 81 know OF no
reason why the price of beef should be
advanced at this season. The Increase
has been put on by the Big Four, and
whatever they say goes. They have ad
vanced the price and the local butchers
are forced to pay it. There was no init
nation two weeks before election that
the price of cattle would go up and there
has been no change in the cattle market
since then"
John h. Kelley said: 1.-THE butchers
here are now paying 8 cents per pound. by
the hundred pounds, for ordinary cattle.
Just what the retail advance for first class
beef will be l cannot say as yet"
G.. W. Mann said: II understand the
rise in the price of cattle will be general.
know of nothing to Justify the advance.
The consumer, of course, will have to pay
the Increase
Inc trade journals DO not report any
scarcity of cattle in the West or any in
creased demand. The advance made by
the Beef Trust is generally considered to
be purely gratuitous to itself and without
reference to supply and demand. Repre-
sentatives of the trust state that they
have been packing meats in recent months
at a loss. 1t has been noted, however,
that they have been making large ship
ments to South Africa and the Orient at
prices somewhat lower rather than high
er. than the home price schedule.

twelve men, who have been on board for
the past four or five months that the Alta

not received their wages. They are loudly
if not politely demanding their money and
talk about libeling the vessel
The change Of Government in Colombia
is responsible for the failure to purchase
the yacht. 1t was said the Colombian
Government wanted the ATLANTA to force
Venezuela to pay something like million
dollars of indemnity. growing out of Ven

of Colombia lost the yacht and $4,000
