THIS IN

A special chewing gum commission ap-
pointed by the board Of civil service com
missiOners at the request Of Mayor Har-
riSOn completed an examination yester-
day of the desks used by the young wo-
in the offices Of the commission. A
report was filed with Secretary Corcoran
giving the results Of the inquiry. 1t was
had fOund Is pieces Of gum, ranging in
size from that of q pea to that of a golf
ball, stuck under the lodges Of the tables
n desks used by the young women.
The opinion was advanced that the
pieces covered a period Of use Of about
two days, and the condition Of the wads
was exhibited as a basis for the opinion.
Upon the subject of the large pieces the
special commission divided, and a minor
ity report commended that they represent
ed one mouthful. 1t was estimated that
100 sticks of gum had been consumed to
produce the wads. 1t was added that a
more thorough search would probably
find strata under the tables dating back
to the beginning of the occupation of the
offices by the commission.
In compliance with an order by the
board of commissioners the wads of gum
were detached from beneath the tables
and desks and collected in a pint jar
labeled Exhibit No. 1; Special Chewing
Gum Investigation" They We're deposit
ed in the vaults of the office. Exhibit No.
2 was a plat indicating the position Of
the wads under the tables. This was filed
with the report of the special commits
sion. The report and exhibits await ac-
ton by the board. The investigation was
undertaken after a statement by Mayor
Harrison that he never could go into the
offices of the commission without find
ing the young women chewing gum or

bout when in his mind one man has
clearly shown his superiority over the
other. When one pugilist has great skill
and his opponent great endurance but
very little skill, there is where the bru-
tally comes in.
The Horton law says that boxing bouts
shall be for scientific points. Referees
don't think Of that. They alloy men to
be beaten down to the fioor several times
and almost knocked out before they be-
gin to count. And vet If a referee Is
merciful and prevents an unnecessary
knockout. there is a great howl from
those who went to Sc a man beaten sense
less.
Then / think there should be two
timers, like they have In England. Not
clocks (they al be tempered WITH, but
two honest men-experienced timers
one to hold a watch on the three min
utes Of the round and the minute rest,
the other timer to count the seconds
when a man is down.. Then there would
be no mistakes and trouble like we have
had in the past.
The referee should be honest and COM
petent men picked out because they are
experts. They should be firmly upheld
in the decisions they make by the club
managers. 1t sometimes happens that
the club managers bet on a fight and
kick If the referee stops it when it be-
comes brutal in his opinion.
There would be very few brutal and
bloody fights II none but skilful men
were allowed to enter the ring. The big

member, but to anybody who has made
a study of such legerdemain the position
in which the arm is held is unmistakable.
It is turned slightly outward. with the
elbow against the point of the hip, and
the forearm Is entirely disengaged. The
moment l got a good square look at this
woman l knew she was holding something
under her cloak, and then, of coarse, 1
had no longer any hesitation about ac-
costing her. 1t would never do to make
a mistake, and we avoid such a thing by
taking no chances. If there is the slight
est room for doubt the suspect is allow
ed to walk out without a word. When
we detect a shoplifter, our invariable
policy is to warn her from the store, the
reason being that we wish to escape the
necessity Of watching people or OF max,
ing a scene before our customers. We
have blacklisted several dozens in New
Orleans. Yes; they belong to all circles
socially. I know one woman in town
who would. cheerfully give $1,000 if she
could cross our threshold. She has Inn
portuned us repeatedly to take her off the
list, bu we ant do it,"

majority of the paying public would
much rather see a glove contest between
two clever men in good physical condi-
ton than a bloody scrap between two
unframed sluggers. If boxers o also
take notice of the rules and cut out
'heeling'' with the hand, elbowing, drop
ping the head on their opponents shoul
der and other foul tactics, there would
be less trouble.
I think the gloves should be regulated
to the weight Of the fighters. No glove
should be less than five ounces in weight,
and then should be made Of good ma
terial Of soft texture.
With the Horton aw strictly observed
and modified, skilful men in the ring,
boxing bouts would bring out nothing
but favorable comment.
l think Senator Tim Sullivan in pro-
tecting the Horton law should have the
support Of every n who wants to see
clean. fair, humane sport in boxing. For
that is what Mr.. Sullivan wants.

AS. A CHAMPION.

[-A ..E = B& &Na@N
Robert Fitzsimmons and his cookbook
ing wife walked down Broadway the
other evening past the Hoffman House.
the Fifth Avenue Hotel and under the
Dewey Arch, crossing over to the Bar
tholdi, which is their own home. Fitx-
simmons wore a long clerical-looking
overcoat. and Mrs. Fitzsirhmons was
dressed in equally dignified style in the
thickest of sealskin coats and the heav-
lest of black silks. But the most prom
inent figure Of the party was Phil.
Phil is a handsome bull terrier, of
spotless white and spotless black. his
figures showing in great relief against
as black from its contrast to the other
eye, which is set off by the snowiest sur
~roundings.
Phil wore an elegant collar and be-
haved himself with much dignity. Never
did he forget to heel" and not once did
he turn aside to as much as glance at
the pugs that shifted his heels.
h stray dogs who took such liberties
with Phil little knew the risk they ram.
Phil is a fighter, untried, it Is true, but
sufficiently promising to offer his master
| every encouragement to bet money upon
him.. Phil is stocky n strong. a perfect
specimen of the bull. and able to fill all
qualifications for a fight.
He who doesn't care to meet ex-Cham-
pion Bob Fitzsimmons in the prize ring
can get him a dog and match it against
the lanky fellows Phil. Fitz has posted
/, S.. 900 as forfeit for either himself or his
"purp."
phil and I don't play any favorites,"
/, said Fitzsimmons to a reporter. ANY
man or dog who thinks he can fight some
can get action out of us. I have been
the worlds champion and expect to be
again some day. Phil is champion with
out a tussle. but the people haven't
heard of him, and ! am aching for a
chance to prove it. / will bet 5000 or
any part Of it he can lick any dog in the
world"
Then Fitz stopped and patted the hand-
some bull The latter is a most in
telligent animal and makes friends with
every one it meets. Like Fitz, Phil is
very fond of children.
Phil is a pet Of Mrs. Fitzsimmons, so
'Fitz' is probably only joking when he
says he will match the dog.
