The collection Of tribal revenues
isstill bone of contention in the
Cherokee nation. There was
never any doubt as to the justice
Of saving to the Indians their rev
enues, but the law that is not uni
formely enforced becomes dead
letter by common consent. No
one class Of citizens should be
made to pay the tax while others
are immune. Alaw that does not
bear equally upon the people

are entrusted with its enforcement.

ferred to Mr.. Hills as one who was always
genial. sincere and true; who ordered his
life in an upright, Christian way, and who
with thoroughness and conscientiousness
set himself about the tasks which his pro-
fesston involved. and became so successful
that his work was received with the great

In the majority off matches arranged by

in which to rest and take on weight before
fighting The coloped tighter, however,

the ability to fight, scientifically at all
times. but can slug with the best of them
Cans proved this III his Two battles with
Dali Hawkins, both of which were
marked by fast Singing. That Terry
can be f1oored was proved conclusively in
the Brooklyn boys battles with Oscar
Gardner and Kids Broad Gardner and
Broad both scored knockdowns, but were
unable to put on the finishing touches nee
essary to knockout.
Perhaps Cans greatest stock in trade as
a sparrer is his ability to block blows and
never lose his head at critical moments.
These two qualities should stand him in
good stead when he spars McGovern Nc
Governs wonderful hitting power and mar
velously aggressive tactics have always
carried him to victory, and the little fellow
is convinced that he will defeat Cans just
as handily as he did Frank Erne the light

A colored boy named johnson appeared
at the store of Mr. Fred Stohlman. on 32d

several questions satisfactorily and was
given the cream and cake, but instead OF
going in the right direction when he left

P. Stohlman. becoming suspicious, followed
him and at 32d and NJ streets saw him give
the packages to f1ashily dressed colored
woman. He caught the boy and attempted
to catch the woman, but she eluded him.
She was pursued and finally caught and
placed under the care of Policeman Henry

McGOVERN-GANS BATTLE,
Each Has q Hard Task-Meeting Under
Unusual Conditions.

unusual Conditions.
Although prize fighting in New York is
illegal. those who give and receive hard
knocks are by no means inactive In Con-
necticut. Illinois. Ohio, Michigan and Ken
lucky, where the sport Is permitted with
certain restrictions. several bouts between
prominent pugilists are scheduled.
In point Of general interest, the limited
round contest between Terry McGovern
Of Brooklyn and "Joe'' Cans of Baltimore
overshadows all other pugilistic fixtures
They are booked to appear in a six-round
bout under novel conditions before the Tat
tersalf Athletic Club of Chicago December
Ii. According to the articles Of agreement
Cans, in order to obtain the winners share
of the purse. will be compelled to knock
out the little featherweight within the six
rounds Should Cans fail to accomplish
this feat McGovern will be declared the
winner.
McGoverns insistence upon this kind of
an arrangement with the Baltimore liRht-
weight is due to the fact that in meeting
ern, who is classed as featherweight. can
fight at 10 pounds Cans best fighting
weight is 133 pounds. The colored lad
would only agree to fight Terry with the
understanding that he could weigh in at 1873
pounds at o'clock the day of the battle
McGovern appears to have the worst of the
conditions in the matter of weight, 1t IL
very probable that in reality no injustice
will be done him. 1t Is predicted by friends
of McGovern In q position to know that the
featherweight champion will tip the scales
at at least 12S pounds when he faces his
colored opponent. He is sure to have his
full strength and be In perfect condition

BUSY on CUP DEFENDER.
How the Work Is BEING Carried on in
the shop at Bristol.


the shop at Bristol.
The real work of beginning the laying
down Of the new cup defender In sectional
lines was begun in earnest at Bristol, R. l.,
last week. and it is said on reliable author
ity that this will be completed about Decem-
ber 15 in order to allow a sufficient margin
of time for beginning the construction of
the yacht on the floor Of the shop. The
lines of the big mold that is to contain the
hot lead for the keel were also laid down,
the job being finished Tuesday morning
The heads of various departments have
recently had conferences with the design
er ana appearances indicate the important
work that is to be done in connection with
the building and fitting of the defender
Some of the work will be done outside of
Bristol, but most of it will take place there
Some of the small work on the new yacht
is already well under way In the black
smith shops the new sloop's chainplates and
many strappings have been turned out,
while two large anchors were finished last
week. In the same shops the heavy section
bending tables upon which the new frames
will be bent are lined up and ready for use.
In the pattern shop wood and material for
molds to be used in the foundry are piled
on benches, while work has already been
begun on the mold to be used in the cast
ings for the collision bulkhead, which is to
be of ordnance metal. Many of the heavy
castings are to be Of Tobin bronze. The
heavier pieces OF castings will probably be
secured from mill in Bridgeport, Conn.
The question of the castings Of the sections
Of the keel plate at the Bristol foundry has
not yet been decided. The stern post and
rudder stock will probably. be- cast at
Bridgeport.
The sailmakers are perhaps the busiest
mechanics at the boat esta blishment just
now. Some of the head sails are completed,
a mainsail has been cut and the work of
making 1t has been begun. The mainsails
will have to be finished in sections and put
together later, owing to lack of room for
sails Of such size
A number Of steel-bulbed angle frames
that were left when the 10-footers were
built in the spring may be put to use in
the construction of the defender.
All the work is being, done under condi-
tions of great secrecy. especially that Of
laying down the lines OF the craft, which
is being done in the most isolated place
In the big boat shops. while there is no
one actually on guard atthe door, there is
an understanding that strangers and even
workmen in other departments are to be
kept out and none are allowed to enter
unless their business is known and Is le-
gitimate. 'tEI r1
The Rainbow is still in the Bristol shop
and work is being pushed on her to get her
out Of the way In time for the setting up
Of the mold Of the defenders keel, so that
the lead may be poured the last week Of
December, and there Is every Indication
that this will be done. - .-.-

FOOT BALLS GRUESOME TRAIL.


Four Killed OutrtGhtnF Four More May
Die and lx0 In!0redson GrfdirOns.
The foot ball season oSqI9OO left such a
trail Of dead and #ounded men that for
rough play and casualties 1T stands alone in
the annals of foot ball history.
Four men were killed outright, four more
were injured so seriously that they may die,
and 129 others were taken from the field
and nursed back to ,health In hospitals.
AS is usual in the case, of casualties on
the gridiron or In the prize ring. those men
who were killed or seriously injured were
unfit, either on account'Iof their size or
some physical weakness, for the work they
tried to do. i'm 4 CO
OF the thousands who played foot ball on
teams that employed coaches and trainers
not one was seriously hurt. Sprained am
kles. broken noses and muscle bruises were
the limit for players who understood the

were not allowed by the coaches and train
ers to receive any.
1t was In the smaller towns and little COL
leges that the rough element Of foot ball
found Its victims In players who had either
not been taught to full properly or whose
bodies had not been hardened for strenuous
exertion:
OF the large number that recovered in
ern universities furnished their quota, for
hardly man on any varsity team went
through the season without an injury Of
some sort. -

Jockey Willie Sims. who recently returned
to New York from France after short but
successful season on the race tracks there
is enthusiastic IN his talk on the French
turf So we'll satisfied Is Sims with his
treatment there that he has signed to ride
for big French owner next season. He
says: -... ...-
1.-The French courses are all on the turf
and the only available jockeys to reckon
with are third-rate English boys, French
men do not take kindly to riding. They
still ride with the saddle away back, and
the Jockey had very little to say about II
until Cash Sloan and other American boys
made wins. Then they began to let us have
a little say in the matter
ut Is possible to ride with a forward seat
even IL the saddle Is placed back. only it is
The hands have to be couple of feet in ad-
vance Of the body and the act of balancing
IS harder, and when the horse Is firing he Is
more likely to swerye; for the rider has not
the same command over him..
''It is also a disadvantage when one goes
to the whip, for to strike the horse the up
right seat has to be taken. The boys there,
English though they are, seem to have little
knowledge Of pace. They start In lumber
ing way, let their horse strike his stride
when he feels like it, and then start to ride
a long finish. l was off and away, as here,
and they never had chance to catch me If
my horse was within ten pounds Of the best
behind me. After the first ride or two ]
suggested placing the saddle farther for
ward, and while the French trainer
shrugged his shoulders and seemed to think
1t was foolish. he let it go and won again
Another thing is, although the English boys
put up great bluff. they do not help the
horse at the finish. They rolled around a
good deal. and seemed like doing a lot of
work. but they did not get there. For my
self, l am not SO sure that the forward
seat has so very much to do with it.
claim to be one Of the first boys to adopt it.
and I ride with practically the same seat
now that did when I was on the top of the
heap in this country
THE French trainers are very nice and
treat one well, but they still train on the
methods of the English and not one on the
method Of Wfshard and other up-to-date
Americans. They try their horses out with
certain weights and then figure on the re-
suit, calcuiatf that one horse is so many
pounds better than the other, and that the
other has previously done so and so. They
never think Of using the watch and ridicule
the idea The boys are put in the saddle
and are told to ride a certain style of race.
II cannot tell why I was so much more
successful there than at home. except that
did not get the chance on good horses
here. and that over there the competition
is much easier" .
