When they came together again Rubin
landed his right to the body and then
he kept away, Jeffries chasing him around

Rubin Loses Desire to Fight.

that Jeffries could end the fight at any
time he wished. He landed several times

ducked into a left which caught him flush
on the mouth. Jeffries again rushed at
him and landed two light lefts on the
face. They exchanged lefts without either
being damaged. Rubin was circling
around Jeffries, but the latter quickly
stopped his movements with a left to the
jaw. When Rubin went to his corner it
was seen he had a nasty cut under the
right eye, which was puffed and bleeding.
In the fourth round Rubin was the first
to lead. trying right to the body which
landed, but without any force behind it.
Jeffries beat tattoo on Ruhlin's bad eye
and was all over his man. Rubin came
back with a right to the head and then
had him in his corner at this time and
roughed, him with his elbow. JeffrieS
stood and took several blows in the face
without f1inching. He said afterward he
knew Rubin had no force in his blows;
that there was no danger. Toward the

rather easily. Rubin was still backing

DURING STORM
Further Details Of Dis

Coast.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The tale of wrecks
due to the recent storms is not complete.
It has been ascertained that as many as
four vessels foundered at the mouth of
the Tyne during the storm of Wednesday
night with all hands, according to the evil
dence of the coast guards, and the wreck
age washed up. 1t Is feared also that a
small steamer from Ayr to DundaIk. Ire
land, had been lost with eight hands The
body of the captain has been washed
ashore at Wicklow. The floods caused a
big bog slide near Lisconnor, County
Glare. Much damage was done and sew
eral farmers were ruined.
The gale has been succeeded by frost
and snow of unprecedented severity SO
early in the season. Ten to fifteen degrees
of frost are common, while the snow on
the northern hills is seriously impeding
railroad traffic and Is causing the rivers
to overflow. Hundreds of sheep have been
drowned in the neighboring meadows The
lakes in the northern parks are, covered
with ice.

The passengers were still clamoring for
chance to get home, so the Hancock

orders. She arrived on time and the pas
sengers were again transferred and an
other start made for home.
Among seafaring men and particularly
among those who have traded in the
Orient the supposition is that the Han
cock went on a sandy beach and is prac-
tically uninjured. The Japanese pilot was
in charge, but Captain Strive was I'M

some remarkable stress of weather that
drove his ship ashore.

derson told a friend he would only be a

number should be hung out.
From Los Angeles, the home of ''the

up to bet on their townsman. They were
disappointed in the betting, but pleased
with the result.

which Jeffries broke away and landed
his right over Ruhlin's heart Ruhlin's
movements were noticeably slow after
this, his legs almost seeming to have lost
their power of locomotion- Acting under
instructions from Delaney JeffrieS forced
the fighting and pegged away at Ruhlin's
body.
Rubin was in very bad shape Jefrries
landed right on the body and imme-
diately after right on the chin, which
knocked Rubin again to his knees. Again
he took the count of eight seconds. When
he stood up Jeffries balanced himself,

Ruhlin's body 1t was evident to all the
spectators that Rubin was directing all
his energies to lasting the round out and
in their corners about a half-minute when
Madden tossed sponge into the ring. 1t
came as surprise to the spectators and
to Jeffries.
Opinions of Spectators.
The spectators came away from the Pa
vilion differing in opinion as to Madden's
act in throwing up the sponge and saving
Rubin from an inevitable knockout in
the sixth round. Some held that, being a
himself and to his future career to have
toed the mark until the decisive blow
had been delivered and he had measured
his full length on the floor Of the ring.
Others who watched the agonized play Of
Madden's features after the second round
felt his interest in Rubin was greater
than that of merely a manager. and he
did not want him punished unnecessarily.
1t was the consensus of opinion that had
Jeffries turned loose in the third round
he could have ended the fight then and
there.
The illumination for the taking of pic
lures was one of the hits of the evening
Notwithstanding the great number Of
lamps required to generate the required
light there was no heat noticeable. The
spectators at the ringside were suddenly
thrown out in bold relief when the cur
rent was turned on 1t apparently had
the effect of magnifying all objects in the
immediate vicinity, each face standing out
sharply against the black background.
Complains of Soreness.
After the fight Rubin complained of his
body being sore from the hammering he
received He also claimed he felt the
effects of foul blow he received in the
third round. This was an unintentional
foul and passed unnoticed Ruhlin's face

form of a black eye for several DAYS 1t

LABOR OPPOSES
SUBSIDY BILL
Assembly Of Knights Is
Against Hanna-Payne
Measure.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 15.-The general
assembly of the knights of Labor to-day
devoted most Of it's afternoon session to
consideration of a resolution introduced
on Wednesday by a seaboard delegate
denouncing the Frye-Hanna-Payne sub
sidy bill now pending in the United States
Senate.
1t was bitterly opposed by six members
and was referred to a committee on legis-
lation, who reported 1T back within an
hour unchanged, when it was adopted by
an almost unanimous vote. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Resolved. That the development of the
american merchant marine is greatly desired;
that we believe that American freights ought
to be carried in American bottoms. built in
American shipyards by American mechanics.
! at vases commensurate with the American
Resolved. That the present bill pending in
the United States Senate known az theoFrye-
Hanna Payne subsidy bill is not drawn in the
interests of the American shtpyards nor Ameri-
can laboring people. and therefore the Knights
of Labor oppose its enactment believing that
some measure can be and should be presented
that will encourage the building Of ships by
American workmen and maintained by Ameri-
can citizen seamen which should meet the ap-
prevail of the whole people
be sent to each member Of Congress by the
general secretary treasurer
The report of the committee on Iegis-
ton now taking place in the industrial
field through the rapid concentration of
capital has filled the working classes
with alarm for the future welfare of the
country and declares it Is time to call a
halt on municipal, State and national
legislation in granting further privileges
which go to fatten already large private
fortunes.
Resolutions submitted with the report
demand from Congress such legislation
as will provide for the utmost publicity
of the affairs of all corporations Conduct
ing an interstate business"
Such laws are demanded as will pre-
vent the capitalization of any corpora
lions above the amount of money actu-
ally invested, whether said investment be
in cash or plant"
The resolutions also declare that Con-
gress has no right to tax all the people,
for the benefit of a few and that when
ever Government aid is extended to pri-
vate corporations it means robbery of
tie whole people"
