ON THE NORRIS SIDE.
Democratic Leader and His Com
mittee Strongly Endorsed.

At a special meeting Of the Jefferson
at the Metropolitan Hotel, Julius Emmner,
jr., presided and Joseph A. Renehan was the
secretary. Resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing certain interlopers in the field
of democratic politics in their attempt
to disrupt the organized democracy of the
District of Columbia by attempting to Ques-
ton the legality of the democratic district
central committee, which is the legitimate
successor to the committee organized in the
year $50, and which has been in active ex-
istence since that date, recognized by the
democratic national committee in all polit-
ical affairs
The association rendered to the demo-
cratic central committee its unqualified
support. expressed its 'unbounded and
implicit confidence in James L. Norris ''as

strict honesty" and approved 1.-The support
given him by the District democratic COM

Of this association that the same loyal sup

AS earnest of the truth of this state
ment, the Kid ripped in a left-hand hook
to the other fellows ribs that was convinc-

thereof.

vicious right-hand swing and sent his own
right hand to the stomach.

The Partner Knocked Out.
The Kid ducked, and as the partner turn

the blow, Mccoy jolted him the jaw
with right hook and the bout was over.
When they brought him back to earth he
said that every thing the Kid had said was
true. He ought to know.
Mccoy has used novel punching bag In

only the oval bag usually used by pugilists,

SOrDett.
From Il recent photograph.

James J. Corbett and Charles (kid) Mccoy
are recognized the most scientific men
in the ring, and for this reason the bat
tie is attracting. if possible, even more at
tention than the struggle for championship
honOrs. For years past the sporting fra
ternty and he public generally have been
trying to get these two men together, be-
cause it was known that probably the most
scientific contest ever held in this country
would be the result.
AS to scientific ability it is hard to make
choice. In feinting, lodging, ducking,
jabbing and side stepping the
nearly equal. COrbett, it is generally con-
ceded is bit cleverer. But the Kid has
1.-The punch and this fully balances mat
tiers. Both men will enter the ring in per-
feet condition and full of confidence Both
have expressed their determination and
ability to win quickly and easily. Your
correspondent saw Corbett today just after
he had finished his morning routine, which
consisted of a ten-mile run, twenty min
utes' bag punching and plunge in the
ocean. He was getting his alcohol rub,
and as he turned to accommodate his rub
bers an excellent opportunity was afforded
to study his makeup. His condition APP
pears perfect His muscles are soft and
pliable when not in action. but every fex-
ion brings them out in ridges and punches
that give promise of enormous strength.
To the suggestion of your correspondent
that he was going up against a harder
scientific proposition than he had ever en-
countered before he replied:
Expects to Rattle Mccoy.
80 you think that the Kid is scientifica
Well I'll tell you what I'll do. We will
just bet a bottle of wine that after the
second round 1 will make him forget all
about his science and go to smuggling"
This may give line on COrbetts inten-
tions. If he do this he will win. But
If Mccoy keeps his head. sticks to his sci
entific attack and defense, it will be any
body's fight.
Mccoy has been training at Saratoga,
and the stories that have drifted down here
about his improved appearance are veri-
fed. He is heavier and sturder looking
than when he fought and defeated Peter
Maher. There is always one thing McCoys
friends cal bank upon-the Kid will never
enter a ring unless he is in perfect condi-
ton. 1t is interesting to watch Mccoy in
training, especially with his sparring part
ner. There is the sudden stamp of a toe
on the boards; long, brown arm describes
a short half circle: padded fist comes in
contact with nose. The owner of the nose
sits down with emphasis that shakes
loose his shoestrings. The sparring partner
isn't seriously injured and rights himself
I'm sparring as preparation for a con-
test" said Mccoy, neatly blocking q

e. s. Morris, With Several Aliases
Charged With Swindling.

Charged With Swindlfnx.
Detective Parham reached home this
morning from Hampton, Va, bringing with
him the man who was known here as E. S.
Morris and who is charged with having
passed q worthless check on Mrs NJ A.
Daily, boarding house keeper at No. 900
street. The prisoner, who is thirty-eight
years old, admits his guilt 1t is alleged,
and says whisky is the cause of his trouble.
He is wanted at Richmond and other south
ern cities on charges of beating hotels.
The Richmond authorities were anxious to
get him, but the officials at Hampton sur
rendered him to Detective Parham.
In conversation with the detective the
prisoner said his name Is Edward 8. Minor
and that he has wife and son living in
Cincinnati. In this city he was introduced
to Mrs. Daily by man who formerly had
room at her house. When his board was
due he gave her worthless check which
she accepted, giving him several dollars
as E. 8. Morris, and this name he register
ed at the Buckroe Beach Hotel. At the
Hotel Chamberlin at Old Point he registered
as H. c. Gillian, jr., of Nashville. while
at the Barnes and Augusta hotels at Hamp-
ton he registered at Z. r. Walker and r.
F. Walker, respectively.
When a number Of complaints had been
received by the Hampton police from hotel
proprietors Sergeant Cunningham detailed
Policeman Diester to investigate the case,
and he soon arrested the man. The pris-
oner will probably be given a hearing in
the Police Court tomorrow.
Today the police received another COM
plant about Morris. Mr.. e. E. Tates in
formed the detectives that he cashed a
check for $50 for the prisoner The check
was afterwards given to local merchant
in a business transaction. 1t was seat to
bank and returned as worthless.
The officers were informed of another
check that Minor attempted to pass.
