NO AGREEMENT

O. M. CARTER TO BE PUNISHED
ACCORDING TO VERDICT.
RIVER AND HARBOR STEAL
Assistant Attorney General Ewing
Says Talk of New Tria! or Release
of Convicted Man After Refund OF
Stolen Money is Absurd and I'm.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 16.-Marion
Erwin, special assistant to the attor-
ney general, who is in charge of the
proceedings being conducted by the
government for the recovery of the
funds. which, it is charged, were fraud
ulently converted to his own use by O.
NJ. Carter while in charge of the river
and harbor Improvements in Georgia,
has returned from Chicago.
Mr.. Erwin stated in reference to the
published statement sent out from Chi
cago three of four days ago that Ober-
lin NJ. Garter had voluntarily agreed
TO surrender to the receiver in the
governments suits the $700,0Uv of i'll
vestnents into which the government
claims the funds intrusted to him had
b0en fraudulently diverted, and that In
consideration Mr.. Erwin, as the gov
ernments counsel, had entered into an
agreement to give him a new trial and
chance OF vindication in the civil
court, that the statement sent out
from Chicago is absurd.
ut ought not to require a lawyer"
said Mr.. Erwin, "to understand that
under our system OF government no
agreement of counsel in civil case
coud set aside the solemn verdict of
court martial, after review and ap.
prevail by the president of the United
States. There is absolutely no agree
ment to bring Carter out of the pen
or 70 give him new trial, or any
other chance of vindication lnaD what
he already possesses"

ANARCHISTS IN LONDON.

There are in London more than

theories of destruction and the reno

section that would countenance the
exercise of violence. MANY of these

San Francisco, Nov. 16.--In one OF
the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country James
j. Jeffries proved the victor last night
over Gus Rubin, the Akron giant. Ia
the fifth round of what was to have
been a twenty-rOund struggle Ruhlis
surrendered to the amazement and dis
gust of the assembled thousands. No
one was more surprised at the out
come than Jeffries himself who assert
ed that while he had delivered one
telling blow in the second round he
did not expect to win his victory so
easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation OF
the outcome of the fight is that he re-
ceived a chance blow which utterly
disabled him and that Jeffries persist
ed in fighting him low While Rubin
will make no absolute charge Of JEFF
ries having committed a foul, he init
mates that he was unfairly handled
and injured as a result. Rubin re
ceived the support of his seconds in this
stand, who say his was a hopeless
case after the second round.
When seen in his dressing room
after the fight Jeffries said: 'T was
certainly surprised at my easy victory
and Ruhlin's amazing defeat. While
Il is true he did not punch me hard
enough during the five rounds to cause
me any alarm. / believed him strong
and cautiius up to the moment of his
collapse and was surprised when he
quit. | certainly had no trouble in
whipping him and had the fight gone
on the result must have been the
same. Rubin was inaccurate and In
poor wind and | cannot say he even
had the courage and force | expected
to encounter III him. Rubin took
stiff punch in the stomach in the
fourth round which I presume gave
him trouble. Nevertheless | expectea
him to lose harder than he did. Rub
lin can doubtless best explain his own
, position, and as for myself, / am will
ing to meet Sharkey next month and
thereafter defend as best can the
title l hold"
When Rubin went to his dressing
room, he was followed by a very de-
pressed retinue. The defeated man
complained of no pain and moved
about without assistance. He stated:
81 believed from the tap Of the gong
| I would win but as the fight progress
| ed was beaten down until / received
a blow on the stomach which | must
say was very low. 1t may not have
been a foul, but no living man could
have survived it. Jeffries departed
from the written rules and from the
common regulations of boxing wnen
he threw himself upon me and wrest-
led rather than spared. l do believe
had l not received the stomach punch
which ended me in the fifth round
would have worn down Jeffries In a
few rounds later and beaten him as a.
matter of endurance | am ready to
fight him again and believe in time
| will have an opportunity of showing
| can defeat him. That Is all can
say"
