REPEATS SHOOTING RECORD
Eugene G. 0riffiths Again Wins
Grand American Handicap at
Inanimate Targets.
(By Associated Press

~
New York, July 19-Eugene c. Grif-
fiths of Pascoag, r. L., duplicated his
victory in the Grand American handicap
at live birds last April at Interstate
Park, L. L., by winning the Grand Amer
lean handicap at inanimate targets from
a field of Is contestants at the same
place yesterday. Griff1ths took part in
both contests last year, but was not in
the money either time. Last year he
stood at 20 yards in the target handicap,
but did not get a place in the first 10.
This year the handicapping committee
placed him at 10 yards, and after q
splendid exhibition with the shotgun he
beat all the others. breaking IS out Of
100 targets.
F. V. Carlough Of Rutherford, N. J.,
shooting from the 16-yard mark, broke
SO and secured second money, while
Charles Wagner of Schenectady, N. r.,
broke 90 at Is yards.
The weather was clear, and a good
light wind prevailed. Five sweepstake
events, each at 16 yards rise, We're de-
cided prior to the handicap, and in the 20
Crosby carried off the honors, as he did
not miss a single target, making a con-
tinuous run of IS straight targets.

Partland. Negotiations are now pending
for the match, which if arranged will be
pulled off within a few weeks. Nc
Partland is a well-known and clever
fighter and has wone many creditable
fights. One of his most recent victories
was over Rufe Turner in Denver. His
win was about on a par with that of
Dave Barry, over the colored Frisco boy,
and from that, an idea of the ability of
Mcfarland can be formed. Barry did
not show the form, when he lost to La
Fontise the other night. that he did when
he got the decision over Turner, or the
result might have been different. La Fon-
tise is a clever fighter and there is no in
tention of detracting from his victory,
but it must be said in all fairness to
Barry, that the form of the latter was a
great disappointment. 1t is doubtful if
Mcfarland has gone back as did Barry
and for that reason La Fontise can rest
assured that he will get pretty stiff ar
gument if he goes against Mcfarland.

the Chapman motor is in perfect work

AS was stated the race will be fifteen
miles. Each rider will follow his own
motor so that the result will depend as
much on the conduct of the motors as on
the efforts of the contestants. who will
ride behind him. There is considerable
rivalry between Chapman and Turville
and the race tonight should certainly fur

the two motors, Chapman won the FIRST

a turn of affairs came about, which
would indicate that Butte is to have a
series Of genuine boxing exhibitions of Ia
character unsurpassed in tho west. Man
ager John B. King Of the Butte Athletic
association, is now in San Francisco and
it is thought is negotiating for some of
the best boxers in the Golden Gate City.
He has also been in correspondence with
Denver boxers and it looks as though
something was doing. What caused 1.-THE
whole affair to be given credence, was
a telegram, received here last night
from Mr.. King. which indicated that
matches had already been arranged.
Nothing definite will be known until Mr.
King returns, Sunday or Monday.
Should the Butte Athletic association un-

SOME SILLY RUMORS Reported That Prosecuting Attorney SorrelIs Had
 Ordered THE SUNDAY GRAPHIC SUP. PRESSED BY CHASING WORK
 AT MIDNIGHT On Saturday Night, and That the Elm. ployes were Armed to Resist
 the Officers.
NO FOUNDATION FOR STORIES

There were many rumorS out on
 Saturday night that Prosecuting At torney Sorrells was going to suppress
 the Sunday issue of the Graphic by refusing to permit any work being
 done on the paper after 12 o'clock Saturday night
 rumor also gained circulation on Sunday to the effect that the Graphic
 employees were armed with guns and that desperate resistance of any ef fort to close the office by officers of
 the law would have been made. The rumors were both false Pros ecuting Attorney Sorrells had never at any time included the Sunday Graphic in the list of things that should cease businesss at midnight Saturday, and he assured the Graphic that it was not his intention to do so, but that he would adhere strictly to his last closing order, which was printed in the Graphic q week ago. The Graphic office doors were
 closed at midnight Saturday night so that there was no ingress or egress except on the part of the employees,
 and continued in it's usual quiet way with the work until the paper was off the press and distributed by the car
 riers. None of the employees were armed, as there was no occasion for it, even though Mir. Sorrells had in structed the officers to force the pa per to cease work at midnight, as the Graphic doesn't do business with Wnchesters and six shooters, but ill a perfectly legitimate way, and has
 nothing to fear so long as it continues
 that policy, and under it's present
 management it could have no other
 policy.

INDICTED
BY FEDERAL GRAND JURY AT
 TExARKANA.
Sensational Charges Against James P. Copeland, Prominent Preach.
 CT and Politician.

One of the most sensational arrests ever occurring in this section of the state was that of James P. Copeland. of Pike City, the first of the week on court at Texarkana charging him with conspiring to defraud the gov ernment. Arch V. Alexander, of the Martin-AleXander Lumber company of Pike City, was also arrested upon the same warrant with Mir Copeland. The indictment was returned by the federal grand jury at the recent term of court at Texarkana. and the two men were arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Addis Bryan and taken to Texarkana, where on last Tuesday they gave bond in the sum of s5000 each for their appearance at the next May term of the court at TeXarkana.
 The Men are charged with defraud ing the government out of about $20,000 worth of timber. which is said to have been done by them fur nishing men with money with which to file homesteads, and then buying the timber off the land before those who homesteaded it had received q final title from the government
 James P. Copeland is one of the most prominent politicians and min jsters in this section of the state and has been honored by the people of his home county, Pike. many times having served as their sheriff repeat edly and also representing them in the state senate. He has also been prominent in the Baptist ministry for many years, and only at the recent session of the state convention at Paragould took prominent part in the deliberations of that body, lead ing the fight against continuing the office of corresponding secretary in the state Nashville News.

Manila, Dec. 2.-The financial situs- ton in the Philippines is causing considerable alarm.
 In an interview published in Ma. nlla Henry C.

The Cnited States postoffice aere now refuses, except to government employees, to issue money orders ia exchange for Mexican silver. Thp banks of Manila have been making from 6 to s per cent on exchange. Merchants and others are forced n carry their accounts in Mexican sl- yer.
 The commercial community had ra- lied upon the United States Philip pine commission to continue the pari- ty of two Mexican dollars for one gold
