A VICTIM OF REMoRSE.
Louis II. Ward Gives Himself Up to
the Local Police.

the Local Police.
Louis II. Ward, forty years of age, spent
last night at the Sixth precinct station.
He surrendered himself to the police and
is held pending an investigation of his
story, told TO Sergeant Carter at head
quarters. Ward halls from New York
City, and there, he says. he is wanted by
the police. A despatch was sent to New
York last night asking instructions re-
garding the case, but no reply had been
received at late hour.
Ward called at headquarters about 10
o'clock. He said that he desired to give
himself up. He explained that he left
New York on July 10. On that day. he
said he was given $3.50 TO be placed in
bank TO the credit of ]. Lee Smith q Co.
manufacturers, At SO Frankfort Street, BY
which firm he was employed. Instead OF
banking the money. however, Ward claims
to have gone TO Baltimore and spent the
funds entrusted to his care. Yesterday
he decided to come to this city. Suicide
was contemplated by him, according to
his story but finally he determined TO give
himself up and stand the consequences OF
his action.
To a reporter Ward stated that he had
worked for j. Lee Smith & Co. twenty
years. He was employed as confidential
clerk he says. and had much money en-
trusted TO his care. AS his address, Ward
gave 800 Derand Street, Brooklyn. He
declined to say what motives actuated him
in taking the funds. Ward is unmarried.

Succession of Powerful Blows.

NEW YORK. July 16.-Terry McGovern
boxing tonight tnat he is without a peer
as featherweight champion. With prac-
tically no more rivals to conquer In his
class. McGovern con sented to go out of it
and meet the noted lightweight champion,
Frank Erne. Of Buffalo. The Twentieth
Century Athletic Club arranged this bout
and it was decided in Madison Square Gar
den in the presence of l., 900 wildly enthu-
siastic spectators.
The weight conditions may be offered as
an excuse for Erne's Unexpectedly quick
defeat, for the lightweight champion con-
sented TO weigh in at 12S pounds at the
ringside in order to take on the Brooklyn
phenomenon. Consequently, though Erne
was virtually knocked out in the third
round when his seconds threw uo the
sponge. he did not forfeit the title of light
weight champion because the contest was
not decided at that weight
But these facts do not take away any of
the credit that must go to McGovern.
From the very start of the fight he was
whirlwind. He never allowed Erne TO
have moment in which to show his we'll
known cleverness and science, but he was
on top of him and after him at every
stage. raining blows that were. simply
marvellous In their power and Irresistible
in their effect. Erne used his lef. hand
with the best results. but though he
landed it flush upon the jaw and in the
stomach on several occasions, it had little
or no effect upon McGovern.
There was so much McGovern money in
the house when it was time for the
fight to begin that Terry was rapidly in
