COLORED WOMAN
Writes Courteous Letter to Uncle

Uncle Joe Kendall, on Saturday, re.
ceived a letter from an aged colored
woman. Inasmuch as the letter APP

In Which Brutality Was
Feature.
Has No Prejudice
Against Boxing
Provided It Is Conducted
Decently.

Judge j. A. Kohler is the father OF
the anti-prize fighting law as it stands
today.
Previous to April IA, 1888. there
was no act which made it unlawful
in Ohio for men to engage in pugilistlc
contests, provided their hands were
covered with gloves.
The original prize fight act was
passed by the Ohio Legislature in
1881. 1t provided for the punishment
of men who engaged in contests with
bare fists. In order to evade arrest
the principals in a fight wore skin
tight gloves. This insured escape
from Imprisonment as it was not a
violation of the law to pound one
another into unconsciousness provided
the hands Were covered with gloves, nc
matter how thin rney might be, The
amendment introduced by Judge Koh
Ter made il an offense for two per.

sons to engage in a prize fight or spar
ring exhibition whether they wore
gloves or not.
1t is interesting to know what oc-
casioned the introduction of the amend
ment to the act. A reporter for the
Democrat called on Judge Kohler
Thursday and learned the circumstan-
ces Referring to the legislation he
said:
"One morning in 1883, while / was
a member of the Legislature, l picked
up a copy of the Cleveland Leader in
the office of the Neil house at Colum-
bus. 1t contained an account of a
prize fight which mad taken place in
Cleveland the night before. The af-
fair had been brutal The principals
had beaten and pounded one another
until one had fallen from sheer ex-
haustion. The brutality of affairs of
that nature made such an impression
on me that / Immediately determined
to introduce an amendment to the
prize fight law making it crime to
engage in contests in Ohio with or
without gloves. Before I went to the
State House l had prepared the
amendment. 1t was introduced that
day. remember that Hon. j. A.
Caldwell, now our Lieutenant Govern
or. opposed the passage of the amend
ment as it was read. He believed that it
would result in injury to athletic clubs
and that 1t would result in the arrest
of any members who might engage in
friendly contests solely for the pur
pose of the exercise. Despite his op
position the amendment had large ma
jorlty. Later it was so amended that
the Mayors of cities and the SherlfIs
of counties were authorized TO issue

Once made. the fill in the street
would require little attention. For
generations to come it would be
saving in many ways and would bring
North Hill right up to the business
center of the city. A viaduct would
do as much, but every two years it
would have to be painted and every
five or six years replanked 1t would
need careful and constant watching
and repairing.
THE PARK SCHEME
the Akron man points out, is certainly
not bad one. Except for the gift of
so acres which Col. Geo. T. Perkins
made year ago, Akron would have
little to brag of in the park line, except
some very small, though pretty
"brea thing places" For years to come
Akron people will call Col Perkins
blessed, but even his gift does not
bring this city's area of public parks
up to point anywhere near those of
other cities.
Cleveland parks cover 1,32619 acres
Toledo has s0S.T5 acres; Cincin-
natl, $40 acres. Columbus, 1,1OS acres
Dayton has only four acres, but Akron
is far behind. nevertheless, with but
81. .O3 acres. The future growth of the
city will make more parks almost a
necessity.

a good reaction to be expected, for fair share of the advance was due solely to eager shorts who rushed to cover, which, independent of ordinary conditions, go to shaping values. After opening without very notable fluctuations the market con tinued downward, closing with loss Of 19 points on May contracts. Spots are down 1ac, with sales of HOO bales. Liver pool opened rather irregular, slightly be- low last night and with small fluctuations, the close of the day being about l point down. Spots in that market were quoted up 3-32d The Bombay movement was considered fairly large but exercised no considerable influence, as receipts of East Indian cotton are not exceeding esti- mates On account of the Easter holi- days the several cotton markets are till Monday, and by general agreement among the brokers there will be no curb trading.
 A disposition was quite manifest largely to even up pending the long suspension of business It was noticeable that buy CTS of spots were indisposed to follow the rapid advance, but we are inclined to think that with any further important decline they will again enter the market with vigor. On weak spots our judgment rather favors the buying side.
