CAPTAIN PARKER PLEASED.
Says Dewey Is the Best Man to Judge
of SchleY's Acts.

NEW YORK, Dec 4.-Captain Parker
of Admiral Schley's counsel was told
early this mornig of the purport of the
two Schley reports. He said:
Admiral Dewey, better than any one

this case. He is the one man living besides
Admiral Sehley who conducted a CAM

ships under modern conditions. He prob

Washington.
Willis l.. Moore, chief of the United
States Weather Bureau, expressed great
surprise and qualification at the news
When told that Marconi had announced
that he had been in communication with
the British coast from Newfoundland,
Chief Moore said;
'In the first place, am shocked, as
you can well understand. l am surprised,
but most agreeably so. Marconi is cer-
tainly to be congratulated on this great
achievement and the entire scientific
world will welcome the news. 1 knew
that he was hoping to communicate with
moving ships at a distance of 200 miles,
but 1 did not expect that he would get
favorable results. I should have been
fully much surprised had he done this

LADY DEFEATS
SHASTA TIGER"
Gamblers, Like So Many
Othellos, Are Out
of Jobs.

REDDING, Dec 19-The efforts of a
woman have closed the gambling houses
in Redding. The tiger has retired to
its lair. Redding had been running wide
open, but the resorts have now resumed
their old-time dullness and except for a
social shaking of dice or the whirr of
slot machine there is nothing to be heard
in the way of a sound indicating that big
chances are being taken,
The lady in the case is Mrs. Henry
CIineschmidt, wife of one of the City
Trustees. She had the keepers of a saloon
arrested and then she circulated petition
addressed to District Attorney Dozier
seeking an enforcement of the State anti
gambling law The tide of public opinion
changed and the womans s effort met with
success. An active prosecution of the case
was soon taken up. Manipulators of
ivories, pasteboards and wheels believed
they saw an inception of the crusade
against them and like so many Othellos
bemoaning the loss of an occupation they
have packed their paraphernalia and de-
parted from Redding. The lady has been
successful over the tiger"

TACOMA, Dec. Ex-Governor John G..
Brady vigorously advocates representa-
ton of Alaska in Congress, revision of
the land laws of the district and is
strongly opposed to the Territorial form
of government at the present time. In
an interview at Sitka he says:
Territorial government is not what we

laws as are now operative in Oregon or
Washington and then we can talk of max

would be a needless waste of money to

furnish them, when the natural trend is
westward. The present location of the
capital is satisfactory to the district in

NELL DEFEATS TRACY.
San Franciscan Wins In the Eight
eenth Round at Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 19.-Al Neill of
San Francisco and Tom Tracy of Austria
liza tonight met in the ring for the third
time at the Exposition building, and Nein
won in the eighteenth round. In the first
round Neill landed on Tracy's chin with
his right and cut cash an inch in length,
from which the blood flowed in a stream.
During the first five rounds Neill jabbed
Tracy on the right eye with his left and
all but closed that member After the
fifth round Tracy did some effective work,
and during the next eight rounds landed
hard with his right on Neilrs stomach.
The fighting was fast and Tracy proved
to be good in-tighter, but Neill kept up
his jabbing on the face. In the seven
teenth Neili commenced to uppercut
Tracy, and at the end of the round Tracy
appeared tired. In the eighteenth Tracy
landed on Neill's head and NeilI came
back with uppercut After a clinch
Neill landed with his right Tracy's
jaw and he went down. Tracy was unable
TO respond to the call of time and Referee
Joe Acton gave the fight to Neill.

State.
The plaintiffs evidence consisted mere
~ OF the production of the note and the
testimony of Mrs. Phelps that nothing
mao been paid thereon. The defendant
then commenced taking testimony which
ne claims will prove that Phelps was not
nor is his estate, the owner of the prop-
gy erty IN dispute, although it stands in the
deceased's name, his contention being that
the deeds given by Wadleigh We're in
Tended as mortgages.
Wadleigh testified that he first became
acquainted with Phelps in 1886 In 1890
he borrowed $4,000 and gave his not for for
the amount. In 1890 this note was taken
up ana a new one given for $6S3O. This
IN turn was surrendered in 1894 and tba
note sued upon given. He further stated
tnat 10 secure the payment of the first
note he made deed of certain proper
ties. and from time to time increased the
security by giving further deeds until

San Francisco, Nevada County and IN
the State of Washington, all given as coll

purported to be signed by Phelps in which
the latter acknowledged that he held the

Inc Qe1endant then testified that after,
the making of the deed to the San Fran
cisco property, Phelps sold a portion of
1T for $25OO, $1,000 of which he credited upon
the note of 1890, sending the remaining
$500 to him. This testimony was offered
for the purpose of showing that the de-
ceased acknowledged that he held the
property only in trust. The case will con-
tinue tomorrow.

Gardners brace of victories has forced

There can be no question as to the condi-
tion of the men, both having gone through
a severe course of preparatory work with
out developing a weak spot. Neither
Gardners hand nor his ankle has given
him a moments s worry. His friends, who
have watched him since his first appear

at the Improvement in his style, both as
an offensive and a. defensive fighter.
In the four years he has been boxing he
has defeated many good men, and II he
wins from Carter tonight there will be
no one to question his right to the middle
