THE NAVAL STATION SITE.
Mrs. LawtOn Demands Higher Price
Than That FIXED by the Naval
BOnrd.

Washington. Feb. A.--Negotiations be.
partment for che purchase of the site
for the Charleston naval station have not
yet been brought to a satisfactory con
clusion. Mrs. Lawton, the Navy Depart
ment officials say, claims that the price
set by the Rodgers board is too low, and,
ewing to this claim, another board of Of
ficers will be sent to Charleston, proba-
bly, next week, for the purpose of exam
ining into the estimated price OF the Rod
gers board.
If they come to the conclusion that the
claim Of Mrs. Lawton is just, they will
probably recommend that the property be
bought at the price fixed by her. The
land will then be purchased and as soon
as the title is passed upon by the Court
Of Claims work will be commenced at
once on the new dry dock and other
buildings and works necessary for a large
naval station such as the government
Will establish at Charleston.
In the meantime an engineer vii! be
sent to Charleston for the purpose of
surveying the boundaries of the proposed
site. The Navy Department officials say
this will expedite the work when the site
is finally purchased by the government.
The uneXpended balance of money appro-
priated for the Port Royal station will be
utilized for this preliminary survey. Ad-
miral Endicott says there is no trouble
at all in purchasing the latter from the
city Of Charleston, ana he thinks when

against the Jeffries-Ru boxing con-
test, planned to be held in Saengerfest
Han tomorrow night. The case win be
carried to the Circuit and Supreme Courts
and the contest will be postponed until
a final decision is reached in the higher
courts.
The decree of the court permanently re-
strained the managers Of the contestants
and the Saengerfest Athletic Association
and all connected with the proposed event
from proceeding at Saengerfest Han on
any date. The decision occupied over
two hours in its delivery.
The state won on all the points at issue
in law as well as in fact. He held to
be insincere the testimony of Manager
Madden. who said there had been no
that the proposed contest here was to be
one on points. rather than on merits, but
commended the testimony of Brady, who
urged that each would do his best to

of rounds; contests limited in time and

therein on points.
The court held that a fatal knockout
could come under any of the classes OF
contests mentioned in the hearing and
that any contest for a prize was a prize
fight, in which resort to brutality might
take place at any time. The court cited
cases at great length in deciding the fol-
lowing points:
l. That the proposed contest was TO
be a prize fight in fact. and such as is
prohibited under the Ohio statutes, and
that the contentious of the defendants
that they proposed to give a boxing con-
test, had not been maintained.
2. That the proposed fight would con-
stitute a public nuisance such as courts
of equity are bound to restrain.
8. That as a court of equity he had
power to enjoin the fight. although there
was legal remedy after its occurrence.
4. That in view of all the circumstances,
he had to grant a permanent injunction
against such a public nuisance as was
contemplated in the proposed prize fight.
The court stated that city's fair name
and its reputation as a law-abiding COM
munity is a property right sufficient to
enjoin q prize fight.
He said:
"The proposed contest is a distinct step
backward. 1t sets a false standard Of
