Repeal of Horton Law.
Aroused the Ire of Tom
O'ROurke and Geo. COnsidine.

New York, April when Bob Fitz-
simmons said he was glad the Horton
law was repealed, as honest men would
now have a chance to make a living, he
raised the ire of Tom O'Rourke and
George COnSidine, who VOW that they
will get even with Lanky Bob If it Is
necessary to bring the little game of
politics into play. Although Fitz men
toned no names, the two fight promo
ters named feel that his remarks were
guessed correctly. Neither can stand
the reelection of Fitz's remarks, and
both have accordingly decided to keep
F'itz from fighting in New York If they
can do it.
Fitzsimmons, when asked If he would
consent to fight Tom Sharkey at the
Seaside Sporting club, said: The only
place 1 will fight Sharkey or any one
else is the Westminster Athletic club.
which offers the best inducements for
fights"
When the reporter informed O'Rourke
of B'itz's answer he smiled and said:
We'll, you can go and bet that Fitz-
simmons won't fight at the Westminster
club, as the club will never pull off a
fight there. In the first place the club
is not an Incorporated one; in the sec
Ond place it has no roof on the build
| ing, which is a violation of the Horton
| law, and in the third place it has no Ii
| cense to hold boxing bouts.'
Judging from O'Rourl1e's talk it GER
| tainly looks as if he means to prevent
| the Westchester club from pulling of
! fights, in which event there is liable to
| be a clash between him and Martin
| Julian.

All WING FIGHTS WELL.
chinaman May Be Brought East With
Young jackson.

Chicago, April 7.-"Biddy" Bishop,
manager of Young Peter jackson, ex-
poets to leave San Francisco and come
east soon, and he will bring All Wing.
a young Chinese prize fighter. All Wing
has been a cook. He first put on the
gloves about two years ago at Auburn,
Placer county, where he was found by
Bishop a short time ago. He showed
natural ability and was encouraged to
practice, boxing every day with boys
around the hotel or in the ring. Soon
he outfought everyone in his class at
Auburn, winning every match except
one, Which was a draw.
All Wing had never seen a fight of any
Importance until last week, when he
witnessed the Purcell-Jackson bout at
Sacramento, where he went on in one
of the preliminaries. His methods were
instinctively correct. He took good care
of his feet and crouched in a position
that was easy and safe. He often has
put on the gloves with Jackson and
shows cleverneSs and hitting power.
The Chinaman is stocl1y and muscular.
He is we'll built at the hips and Shout
ders and has good arms and legs. In
boxing he assumes a crouching position,
being quick and active. He is plucky
and when facing a good man always
takes his medicine with GOODNESS.

Donates Amount Of Mortgage

Leavenworth, April THE funeral of
George Jackson, a prisoner from Okla
homa, took place from the chapel in the
United States penitentiary Friday. In
accordance with a new custom intro
duced at the federal penitentiary by
Warden McClaughry, the body of the
dead prisoner was given a Christian
burial
In the past at the United States peni-
tertiary when convict died the body
was put in the dead house. for a few
hours, then taken out in a transfer
wagon by a couple of prisoners under a
guard, a grave dug and the burial made
without even prayer being said in
most cases. Warden McClaughry has
changed this. Now when a prisoner dies
the body is dressed neatly, put in a plain
coffin and at the time set for the burial
it is conveyed to the prison chapel by
SIX truSty prisoners as pallbearerS. The
chaplain conducts religious services and
breaches a sermon. All the prisoners in
the shops quit work before the time set
for the service, wash and prepare Them
selves to attend chapel Just as on l Sun
day afternoon. In addition the prisoners
who knew their dead comrade are allow
ed to gather flowers from the prison
conservatory and put them on the coffin
and grave. The body is taken to the
| cemetery under escort by the pallbear-
ers and the burial conducted in accord
ance with Christian customs.
One of the main reasons why Christian
| funerals are not conducted at peniten-
| tiaries is that most of the convicts are
| worked by private contractors and they
| object to the loss of time in taking the
men into the chapel to hear the religious
| services. There is no contract system
! at the federal penitentiary and Warden
| McClaughry has his own way about
funerals.
