GOVERNOR AND PUGILIsM.
He Docs Not regard the Muncie Affair
as "a Prize Fight.

There is no occasion TO go into Mysteries
over the Governors policy TO put an end to
prize fighting in Indiana said Charles
L. Wilson, Governor Durbin's secretary,
yesterday. THE policy is just a plain,
matter-of-fact proposition. based on a pro-
vision of the metropolitan police law to
the effect that the police Commissioners
have constabulary powers. That provision
gives them the right to suppress or assist
fn suppressing violations OF the law any
where in their county. The Governor has
called the attention OF all boards of metro
polftan police commissioners In the State
10 that provision In the law and instructed
them TO carry II out as far as is practi-

Colonel Wilson explained that police COM

have been directed to attend fstic contests.

Muncie Tuesday night was not regarded BY
the Governor as a prize fight. He says that

any further trouble on this score In view OF

BRINGING TYPHOID HOME
PHYSICIANS SAY INFECTED .VACA-
TONERS" ARE nov DUE.
Sanitary arrangements ut Summe
Resort Are Usually
Very Poor.

'Our summer 'vacationers' are about due
TO come back home and develop a lot of
cases of typhoid fever" declared a promi-
nent physician last night. 1T is well
known that conditions of sanitation highly
favorable to the generation of typhoid
poison prevail at small lakes and summer
resorts. The newspapers have already COM
menced to chronicle fresh outbreaks of this
malignant disease. at Richmond and Olden-
berg. among other places. We will have to
contend against an extraordinary medium
for developing typhoid this year in the
shape Of the drought that has been drag
ging its weary length through several
months past.
What, with the cases caused by the dry
spell and the expected cases brought back
from summer resorts. / look for lively times
among the physicians this fall. Ii seems
extraordinary that people should be as
careless about sanitation as they are at
these vacation resorts, in view of warn
ings like that contained in the report OF
the medical department of the army con-
corning the outbreak of typhoid at Cnicka-
manga during the Spanish-American war.
That report said that whenever one thou
sand persons are gathered together not less
than three are bearers of typhoid infec-
ton. With these three points OF Infection
the disease is pretty certain TO spread UNI
less the most rigid precautions are adopted.
About the most prolific places for the
culture of typhoid germs are the popular
summer resorts ana even the smaller re-
sorts. In these places, as a rule, there is an
almost total lack of sanitary arrangements,
and the result is that people who spend
their vacations in them come home and are
soon afterwards stricken down by the dread
| disease. 1 recall the case of a prominent
state officer who was attacked violently by
this malady last summer within a very
short time after he returned from his va
cation. He suffered three months with it.

SIR THOMAS is CHAGRINED
But STILL THINKS SHAMROCK II Is
ALL RIGHT.
New Cup Challenger Will Go Into Dry
Dock for an Over
hauling.

LONDON. May 14.-Sir Thomas Upton
returned to London this morning chagrined
by the result of vest erdays race; hut he
is confident that Shamrock II is the better
boat, and thoroughly believes something
has gone wrong. He is anxious to see her
in dry dock
1t is just possible that Shamrock l may
cross the Atlantic, but Sir Thomas Lipt on
does not entertain any idea of substituting
the old for the new boat in the cup races,
being certain Mr.. Watsons creation, In the
long run, will prove superior to Mr.. Flies.
According to the deed of gift of the
Americas cup to the New York Yacht
Club, it would appear that the Shamrock
l cannot be substituted for the Shamrock
II in this years contests for the America S
cup. One clause of the deed of gift reads:
mo vessel which has been defeated in a
match for this cup can be again selected by
any club as its representative until after a
contest for it by some other vessel has in
tervened, or until after the expiration OF
two years from the time of such defeat.
The necessary two years have not elapsed.

teber 16, II and ~, 1899 and the next series
of races We're scheduled, in the acceptance
of the challenge. for August 20, % and "A

should happen to delay the challenger. Con-
Sequently 1t seems the twO-year condition
cannot be made available until after the
