IN LIVELY BOUT
Former Champion Spars
Five Rounds With
Sharkey.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons, former heavyweight champion
pugiIist, and Tom Sharkey, an aspirant
for that title, met in a fifteen-foot ring
early this morning and boxed five rounds
for points. 1t was their first meeting in
the ring since ''Lanky Bob put the sailor
out in the second round before the Coney
Island Athletic Club a year and half
ago. The bout was held at the Theatrical
Business Mems Club, at 139 West Forty
first street. The club held a smoker for
members only and the tip went forth that
ii would be worth while attending. Both
fighters were stripped, with the exception
of their trunks and they donned eight
ounce gloves. It was announced that the
bout was to be friendly one and simply
for points. -, -
In the first four rounds honors were
easv In the fifth round the men agreed
TO mix it up and they started right at it.
Fitzsimmons led with his right for the
bodv and landed good and stiff. He fol-
lowed this up with a right hand hook
that landed on Sharkey's jaw. Sharkey
swung his right for Fitzsimmons head
and left a red spot on the lanky fighter S
quarters and there was an even exchange
of blows Both men were putting before
the round was half over
AS the men warmed up to their work
the spectators gave vent to their delight
in cheers. Sharkey got in couple OF
hodv blows and Fitzsimmons returned
them by landing on the sailors massive
From this on till the bout ended they
went at each other hotly. Blows were
coming so quickly when the gong sounded
that thew could not be counted. When
the bout was over the men shook hands.
The referee declared the bout draw.

BITTER CROWS
THE OHIO FEUD
A Compromise Between
Foraker and Hanna
Not Probable.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 15.-Much in
terest is taken in the expected trip of
George B. Cox and other Republican
leaders to Washington this week Owing
to the contest between the friends of
Senator Foraker and Senator Hanna over
the organization of the Legislature there
is an unusual agitation all over the
State. The long distance telephone has
been in use daily between Washington
and Ohio cities, and especially with GER
tain Republicans at Columbus and Gin
c1nnau, and now 1t is reported that there
may be another attempt at compromise
by conference in Washington before the
Republican caucuses are held at Colum-
bus two weeks from next Saturday. If
no compromise be effected, it is said, both
Senators Foraker and Hanna may come
to Columbus after Congress adjourns for
the holidays, to marshal their respective
forces for the caucus contest.
During the campaign of the past sum-
mer the Ohio Senators co-operated in the
interests of the Republican candidates
for the Legislature, as Senator Foraker s
successor IS to be elected now (January
1D and Senator HannaS successor two
years hence. The junior Ohio Senator
was interested as we'll as the senior
Ohio Senator, because it so happened
tnat about per cent of the members
elect are on their first terms and are
expected to be serving their second terms
successor takes place in the next Legis-
lature
The Hanna men assert that the Foraker
men proceeded after the election to form
states for the organization of both
branches of the Legislature with Interior
views notably that of the retirement of
Hanna two years hence The contest
about two weeks ago broke out into open
conflict and now there are opposing tick
cts, composed of Foraker and Hanna
men, respectively, for the caucuses of
both the Republican State Senators and
the Republican Representatives. The op-
posing candidates are not limited to the
are carried on down the list to clerks
sergeants-a -at-arms and everything
Many leading Republicans from Ohio
have visited Washington the past week
and none of them reports any prospect
of peace or compromise, so the indica-
tions are that the contest will continue
for almost three weeks longer

PLAN To REDUCE
THE WAR TAXES
Ways and Means Com
mittee Informally Dis
cusses Matter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Chairman
Payne of the Ways and Means Commit
tee says that no definite plans have been
made thus far for considering the oues-
ton of further reducing the war taxes.
At the same time there has been much
informal discussion of the subject, much
data has been gathered concerning the
items which can be best reduced and
there seems to be a general purpose on
the part of the members of the commit
tee to push the important question to
the front soon after the holidays. In
speaking of the matter to-day, Payne
said:
With surplus of about 500 OOO 900 I have
no doubt the Ways and Means Committee will
frame a bill reducing the revenues probably
on the general lines of the last war tax reduc-
tlon Dill. But there is no particular hurry in
deallng with the subject there are several
contingencies which may call for a large in
crease in Government expenditures, and it viii
be we'll to understand pretty well what our
expenditures are to be before finally determin-
ing on large reduction of the revenues
When We make the reduction we ought to
make 1t as large as can be made with safety
In my judgment the committee will take the
matter up soon after the holidays. Whether
we VIII nave hearings or not will depend upon
the pleasure Of the committee.
In the absence of action by the committee
Payne Will not discuss the prospects of re-
duction on particular items. Already how
ever several interests have applied for hear
ings These include the representatives of the
tea interests who desire to have the 10 cent
tax imposed by the revenue act taken off
that product. No formal application has been
made by the representatives of the beer and
wine interests. but both are expected to make
strong efforts for reductions in their respective
taxes. Suggestions have also reached mem
bers of the committee that the war tax i'm
posed on banking capital be taken off An
other proposition for the doing away of the
withdrawal stamp taxes on imported merchan-
disc particularly on tobacco as these with
drawal stamps are said to be very onerous to
importers The large tobacco interests have
not yet made known what further reduction
they would seek on tobacco, but the independ-
ent producers of manufactured tobacco and
SNUFF are understood to desire q reduction from
the present rate of six cents per pound Bills
have been introduced proposing a reduction as
low as two cents per pound. There is no sug-
gestion thus far that further changes will be
made on sugars and cigarettes Owing to the
ment among the members in favor of wining
out the entire list of revenue taxes at q
single stroke, thus leaving the revenues and
customs law upon the basis that existed prior
to the Spanish war f-0-

WITH SOLEMN CEREMONY AND THE BLESSING OF ARCHBISHOP
R0RDAN CORNERSTONE OF SACRED HEART CHURCH Is LAID
New Edifice Is Consecrated
to InVioIabIe Mission by
PreIate and Many Priests
Father Lagan breaches Upon
Pastors Energy and Great
Beauty Of Holy tabernacle

~ AKLAND, Dec. 15-The corner
"A stone of the new Sacred Heart
u Church. at the corner of Fortieth
W and Grove streets, was laid this
afternoon with fitting ceremony
in the presence of several thousand peo-
pie. Archbishop P w Riordan of San
Francisco conducted the services and con-
secrated the edifice to its sacred mission.
There were many priests, both from Oak
land and San Francisco, in attendance,
and all the local Catholic societies were
present in full force.
Prior holding the cornerstone cere-
monies all the participants assembled at
St Frances de Sales Church, where a short
service was held. Here the organized
bodies met in marching array and after
the service lined up in professional forma-
tion for the long tramp to Fortieth street.
1t was big procession and long road,
but the lively music contributed by the
band of the Societa de Christofero Column
DO made marching easy, and distance was
covered without firing anybody.
The conservation services were held on
the finished floor of the new building,
where a, temporary platform and altar
had been erected.
The services were held at the west end
of the building. 1t was at the southeast
corner that the stone was laid, and so
great was the crowd on the floor that it
seemed as If two distinct ceremonies were
being held.
Promptly at 3 o'clock Archbishop Rior-
dan, accompanied by Fathers Praught.
Heslin and Mulligan, made his way
through the throng, to where the mass of
hewn sandstone was swinging over its
permanent resting place.
Priests in Full Robes.
The priests were clad in their full robes
of office. and the white and gold of the
vestments shone bright and clear against
the dull background presented by the
mass of humanity from which the priestly
procession had emerged.
Archbishop Riordan, with solemn cere-
monial, blessed the stone. Father Multi
gan acted master of ceremonies
Father Praught as deacon and Father
Heslin sub-deacon.
In a cavity in the foundation was placed
a. copper box containing a programme of
the exercises, the names of the societies
participating and the names of the Off
GERS of the new church.
Over this foundation the stone was then
carefully lowered. Again the Archbishop
spoke words of conservation and with a
sprinkling of holy water closed the cere-
mony. With the benediction the exer-
cises were concluded.
Meanwhile services were being conduct
ed at the west end of the floor. The choir
of Sacred Heart Church discoursed sacred
music and later, when the Archbishop and
party had retired. Father Lagan of San
Francisco preached a sermon.

nowned throughout the country as the

NATIONAL AID
FOR IRRIGATION
Bill to Be Introduced in
Congress After the
Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The commit
tee of seventeen Senators and members OF
the House appointed by the fu-4 Congress
ional representation from the western
arid land States to draft bill providing
for national aid for irrigation has COM
pleted the bill, but it will not be intro
duced in either house of Congress until
after the holidays. The bill embod1es
some of the provisions of both the Sha-
roth and the HansbrOugh-NeW n DlIls.
Its central idea is the devotion OF the pro
ceeds of the sale of the public lands to the
reclamation of those lands. 1t also IN
creases the price of the public lands to be
benefited by the proposed irrigation en-
terprises so as to make settlers pay part
of the cost of construction
The bill provides that moneys received
lands in the arid land States shall be set
aside as a reclamation fund: that eXamin-
alton and surveys of reservoir sites, tun-
mel sites for diversion of water and irri-
CATION canals to be connected Herewith
shall be made; that the Secretary of the
Interior may withdraw from public entry
and the public lands proposed to be irrigat-
ed by them, and that upon the determIna-
tion being reached that any irrigation
project is practicable contract shall be
made for it's construction If the estimate
of the engineer shows that the cost will
not exceed $40 per acre on the land to be
reclaimed.
After construction the lands to be irri-
gated are to be subject to homestead en-
try in areas not exceeding eighty acres
upon the entryman's paying So per acre
to the reclamation fund. This fund is to
be used for the construction and MAIN
tenance of reservoirs and irrigation works
until payments for the land settled upon
are made, when all the irrigation works
except the reservoirs shall be turned over
to the settlers who are required as body
corporate to operate and maintain them.
1t also provides that in the event that
there is sufficient water for public and pri-
Vate lands, water rights may be sold for
the irrigation of private lands at price
of not less than IS per acre.
Full power is given to condemn lands
needed for reservoirs and ditch PURPOSES
1t is provided that State laws shall gov
ern in the matters Of the appropriation
and distribution of water. Power to make
general rules and regulations is vested in
the Secretary of the Interior.
