600 Acres Of Land Now on Trial.
La Crosse, Nov. 16.-The Gates-Paul
case involving the title of GOO, 900 acres
OF pine land in Florida, valued at
100000, is now ON trial before Judge
Webb in the circuit court. The plain
tin, James l.. Gates of Milwaukee
claims that ten years ago he made an
agreement with John Paul OF La
Crosse to receive one-sixth of the
value of 100000 acres Of pine lands Ia
Florida as his commission for purchas-
ing the same for Mr.. Paul. He con-
tends that he never received his com
mission for the service. Mr.. Paul
holds that he paid in full. The de-
PENDANT also claims that he disposed
OF the land in dispute to the East
Coast Lumber company. The action Is
IN fact to force the provisions of The
alleged contract, and is being tried
under the laws of Florida. In tina.
state the law says a verbal contract
is as binding as a written contr =.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-In one OF
the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country James
]. Jeiries proved the victor last night
over Gus Rubin, the Akron giant. In
the fifth round of what was to have
been a twenty-round struggle Rubin
surrendered to the amazement and dis
gust of the assembled thousands. No
one was more surprised at the out
come than Jeffries himself who assert
ed that while he had delivered one
telling blow in the second round he
did not expect to win his victory so
easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation OF
the outcome of the fight is that he re-
ceived a chance blow which utterly
disabled him and that Jeffries persist
ed in fighting him low While Rubin
will make no absolute charge of JEFF
ries having committed foul, he init
mates that he was unfairly handled
and injured as q result. Rubin re-
ceived the support of his seconds in this
stand, who say his was a hopeless
case after the second round.
When seen in his dressing room
after the fight Jeffries said: 81 was
certainly surprised at my easy victory
and Ruhlin's amazing defeat. While
IL is true he did not punch me hard
enough during the five rounds to cause
me any alarm, believed him strong
and cautiius up to the moment of his
collapse and was surprised when he
quit. l certainly had no trouble in
whipping him and had the fight gone
on the result must have been the
same. Rubin was inaccurate and in
poor wind and l cannot say he even
had the courage and force | expected
to encounter In him. Rubin took a
stiff punch in the stomach in the
fourth round which / presume gave
him trouble. Nevertheless expected
him to lose harder than he did. Rub
lin can doubtless best explain his own
position, and as for myself. / am will
ing to meet Sharkey next month and
thereafter defend as best can the
title l hold"
When Rubin went to his dressing
room, he was followed by a very de-
pressed retinue. The defeated man
complained of no pain and moved
about without assistance. He stated
Il believed from the tap of the gong
would win but as the fight progress.
ed was beaten down until I received
blow on the stomach which must
say was very low. 1t may not have
been foul. but no living man could
have survived it. Jeffries departed
from the written rules and from the
common regulations of boxing wher
he threw himself upon me and .wrest
led rather than spared. l do believe
had not received the stomach punct
which ended me in the fifth round
would have worn down Jeffries in :
few rounds later and beaten him as s
matter OF endurance. am ready Il
hight him again and believe in time
l will have an opportunity of showins

Shot Tower to Be Torn Down.

The old shot tower at the cornef
of Front & Fayette streets, Balti-
more, is to be torn down. The
tower has not been used for mum
Der of year, although it is pro-
yided with modern machinery for
manufacturing shot, the old method
of dropping shot from a great
height being no longer required for
its perfect production.
The tower was built in 1928 and
contains nearly 100000 bricks. 1t
is said to be the finest specimen of
brickwork on this continent and
perhaps in the world.
1t is 220 feet high above the
pavement and has foundation II
feet deep, resting upon solid rock
This gives the tower the rare and
important advantage of being abso-
lutely free from vibration, except
during the heaviest gales of wind,
when the maximum vibration at
the highest floor does not exceed
four inches. This absence of vi
bration is essential to the perfec-
ton of the shot. The walls were
built entirely from within, no out
side scafiolding having been used;
they are six feet thick at the base
of the tower, tapering off to is
inches at the top. The circumfer-
ence at the base in 100 feet. The
top is reached by spiral stairway
of $40 steps.
The largest sizes of shot were
dropped from the highest floor,
while the smaller sizes were drop
ped from the middle floor. The
utmost capacity of the tower was
100000 bags of shot year.
