Effort to Prevent Prize Fight There
Excites Great Interest.
Cincinnati, Feb. 6.-The legal battle
which is to determine whether or not
the proposed fstic encounter between
Jeffries and Rubin, set for February
IS. in the Saengerfest hall, is prize
fight obnoxious to the laws of Ohio, or
boxing contest permitted by the stat
utes, began Tuesday before Judge Hol-
lister, of the common pleas court. So
intense has become the feeling between
the promoters of the fight. who are
among the most substantial citizens
and business men of the city. and the
opponents, who comprise equally good
citizens and business man, that this
legal battle has drawn host of in
terested spectators. All the corridors
of the court hnuse--r,vie -crowued Ion g
before the hour set for the hearing,
ten a. NJ, and it was with difficulty
that the parties, attorneys and report
ers could enter the courtroom through
the dense crowd of disappointed per-
sons unable to get into the room at all.
The action is for a permanent in
junction restraining the principals,
Jeffries and Rubin, from engaging in
the contest proposed. and includes in
its terms all who are in any way con-
nected with promoting the enterprise,
which the petition declares to be a pub
lie nuisance.

GOV. YATES DETERMINED.
VIII Prevent Prize Fights In Illinois
If Possible.

Springfield, Ill.,, Feb. Gov. Yates
was asked Tuesday morning whether
or not he had been advised that the
prize fight scheduled to take place in
Belvidere Monday night had actually
occurred, and he said that he had re-
ceived no such information. When
asked what he would do in case such
had been the case, he said there was
nothing for him to do, as there are Off
GERS and grand juries in Boone county
to cope with violators of law there.
The governor was then asked what
action he would take regarding con-
test scheduled for this city next week,
and he said he would meet things
as they come to his attention in an
official way. He added. however: There
will be no prize fight in the state of Illi-
nois while I am governor, if it is in
my power to prevent, and the law gives
me the right to call out the entire mill
tary force to prevent the violation of
law"

CASES ADJUSTED.
Mining Litigation of Long Duration
In Creston Is Closed by the
Purchase Of Stock.

The Ollie Lode mining cases, which
have been in litigation for some time
and have caused bitter factional fight
among business men in Creston, have
been closed in an unexpected way. The
mine was sold two years ago to Cres-
ton syndicate for $4,000. Reports af-
fecting the value of the property
caused friction, and suit was brought
against George Willis Emerson, of Chi
cago; former State Senator Harsh.
George Bilbo and W. G. Henry, charging
fraud in the sale. The plaintiffs attor.
pey banteringly made the suggestion
that ii the defendants thought the prop
erty worth what they said 1t was they
buy the plaintiffs stock. The defend
ants accepted the suggestion, the stock
was purchased at 81, and all litigation
was closed.

IOWA STATE NEWS.
CHANCE TO REFORM.
Frank shercliffe Paroled by Gov.
shaw Is Now with His Brother
on an Iowa farm,

GOV. Shaw has paroled Frank Sher.
chfte, who in 1893 was sentenced
to II years in the penitentiary for n
diamond robbery in Harrison county.
lie was released last Thanksgiving
day. His time would have expired
June ~. 1908, as he would have gained
seven years and three months good
time. Shercliffe is 80 years old, and
the governor became satisfied after
the most thorough investigation that
there was chance for Shercliffe to
make a man of himself if he was let
out on his good behavior and given
an opportunity to show that he de-
served it. He is with his brother on
an Iowa farm and has completely cut
loose from all his old associates. He
is required to make monthly reports
TO the governor, to spend his even
inss at home and to show at all times
where he has been and what he has
been doing. Shercliffe has notified
the sheriff of the county where he>is
and where he can be found at any
time. but his past life is not known
to those with whom he lives except
the brother. This act is in pursuance
OF the governors policy to exercise
the parole power so as to give a con-
Wet chance to reform and to protect
society at the same time. He saws
That a single misstep would send
Shercliffe back to the penitentiary.
where he would not only have to serve
out the two years yet remaining of
ms sentence, but would also lose all
OF his good time and would have to
serve nearly ten years. He feels sure
that young shercliffe will be as likely
to do well when given some assistance
as If left to serve out his time and
then turned loose. The legislature
provided the governor with parole
clerk on the theory that something
could be done for the criminal class.

QUESTION OF EXTRA SESSION.
Discussed by Cabinet-vyin he Called
II the Spooner Bill Is Not
Passed.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The cabinet at
its meeting Tuesday again discussed
the question of the number Of troops to
be left in China. A tentative conclu-
sion was reached not to augment or
decrease the force now there.
The question of an extra session is
still in allegiance, but the opinion is ex-
pressed that in the event of congress
passing the Spooner Philippine bill an
extra session may be avoided, especial
ly as there seems to be some doubt as
to whether the Cuban constitution will
be adopted in time for action, even at
an extra session, if called soon after
March 4.
With the spooner bill Enacted upon
by this congress, it is believed an extra
session will be called.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 6-Mrs. Nation
launched her crusade against the joints
at an early hour Tuesday morning,
She rose at 4:30 and soon afterward
started on tour of joint smashing.
Accompanied by Mrs. j. p. White and
Miss Madeline Southland, she attempted
to enter the place at $50 Kansas avenue.
The man who was on duty at that early
hour was taken unawares, but man
aged to disarm Mrs. Nation and bolt the
door before any of the party could en-
ter. Mrs. Nation said her friends
caught hold of her arms and prevented
her going in through the window. The
next place visited was "The Senate

Somehow in the scuffie Mrs. Nation
was struck on the right temple by the
Ratchet, but the blow did not disable
her and she at once seized the hatchet
carried by Mrs. White. She turned over
two large slot machines and smashed
the glass in front of each. She soon
made wreck of the large refrigerator
and after that turned her attention to
the liquor and fixtures behind the bar.
A key of beer came in the way of her
Ratchet and the contents completely
drenched the skirts of Mrs. Nation.
