Saturdays Quotation.
Many Small Dealers Say They Will Be
Forced to Go Out of Business
Until Drop Comes.

The beef situation Is becoming more
serious. The wholesale price was raised

One dealer, discussing the situation last
night. expressed the opinion that the beef
trust will keep the price up through some
Interior motive, and to demonstrate that
the extraordinary prices are due TO nat
ural causes.
The retailers say they are Obliged to
meet this increase by corresponding re-
tail price. They lay the blame on the
wholesalers. and the wholesalers in turn
point TO the trust. The trust says moth
ing.
Corned beef and lamb have also ad-

EMERGENCY REMEDIES
FOR HOUSE MEMBERS
Committee Favors Plan to
Provide a Medicine Chest.
Case of Delegate Mark Smith Shows Ne
cessity for Provision Against
Sudden Illness.

1t was stated last evening that the
House Committee on Accounts will favor
ably report to the House today the Will
son resolution appropriating $500. or so
much thereof as may be necessary. for the
purchase of a medicine chest. to be in
charge of the Sergeant at Arms, the chest
to be supplied with medicines and instru-
ments to be used only in cases of emer-
gency or accident
There is a pronounced sentiment in the
House in favor of the resolution, and
there is no question of its adoption.
The need Of a medicine chest and in
struments for emergency purposes was
forcibly impressed upon the members of
the House last Friday afternoon when
Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona, just
after delivering an impassioned speech
on the omibus territorial bill. was sud-
denly taken i'll with severe pains in the
head which came near terminating fatal
ly. and perhaps would have so resulted
but for the timely presence of Repre-
sentative Wilson of New York, who for
tunately had with him d pocket case of
emergency remedies and was thus able
to give the stricken Delegate immediate
attention.
Favored by Speaker.
Speaker Henderson is in favor of the
resolution, and is desirous that 1t be re-
ported at the earliest possible moment.
This is question" said Representa-
tive Wilson, that is of vital interest to
every member of the House. No one can
tell at what moment member or a
House employe may be suddenly stricken
just as Delegate Smith was. and in such
cases an emergency remedy may save a
life. Fortunately had with me at the
time Mr.. Smith was attacked my emer-
gency packet and was able 10 give him
immediate attention. l would no; like to
say what the result would have been had
| not had with me my pocket medicine
case.

Mr.. FORAKERaDEFEuDS
PHILIPPINE POLICY
Holds Attention of Senate for
the Entire Day.
Speech Considered One of the Best Made
So Far on Pending Bill-Com-
plimented by Colleagues.

Senator Foraker made the Philippine
speech yesterday. He occupied nearly the
entire day. beginning Immediately after
the morning business. and not concluding
until nearly o'clock.
The speech was considered one of the
best yet delivered in favor Of the biz He
spoke with rapid and forceful ennuncia-
tion and with great impetuosity of man
ner. and covered a great deal of ground.
When he closed, he received the compii-
ments OF his Republican associates gen.
erallv.
Mr.. Foraker began by paying a tribute
TO the eloquence and dealing a blow at
the arguments of the Democrats who have
talked on the question. He spoke Of the
first speech of Senator Carmack as a
great Speech" as far as its intellectual
qualities were concerned, but he said the
whole address divides itself into four
heads
Under Four Heads.
The Republican policy he says, is an
extravagant and wicked policy, for which
the Republicans are responsible Second,
- 80 pOilCy
the Democrats are not responsible Third.
there is no policy. Fourth, there was
much impassioned outcry against scoun-
dreiism and spoliation and murder and
bloody ruin, about thieves and murderers
and pirates and plunderers and other
pleasant people of that kind.
And so IL has been with the other Dem
ocratic speeches. They have been fine ef-
forts in many cases. especially in the
cases of the Senators from Utah and North
Carolina and South Carolina, but they have
not discussed the provisions Of the bill.
The first genera, question is whether
we intend to stay fer an indefinite period.
or whether we intend to go away. /
want to say at tie 2utset that We are not
going away, as Senators have suggested.
We are not going away certainly under
this Administration. and we shall not go
away under the next administration no
matter whether 1t tie Democratic Or Re-
publican Administration. We will not
come away be cause we cannot come away
unless we write dishonor and poltroonery

Retailers in a Quandary.

Several dealers avowed that they could
not raise the retail prices any higher and
DO business at all. as the people were
now buying only what they could not do
without. Others who depend almost en-
tirely upon their sales of meat and who
have beer doing business at loss for
some time felt that they would be COM
PEELED TO make an advance TO their Gus
toners.
One dealer. who does 4 general pro-
vision business. said that 1t would have
the effect of making him quit selling
beef. He said:
II will simply quit handling beef at all.
l can do II, because l handle vegetables
and provisions. have been operating at
q loss on my beef sales for some time.
and have come to the conclusion that |
will just simply cut 1t out. Many people
in the market who Just sell meat can't do

Baltimore Boxer IS Now
L ghtweight Champion
of the World.
TRICK TURNED FIRST ROUND
Six Thousand Spectators at Canadian
Club Petrifed With Amazement-Fast
Work of Negro Was Too Much for
Buffalo Boy.

FORT ERIE. Ontario. May 12.-Joe
Cans is now the undisputed lightweight
champion of the world. He won that
title by completely knocking out Frank
Erne in one minute and forty seconds
with right-hand upper cut to the jaw,
in their fight here tonight.
The knockout punch was so clever, so
sudden. so unexpected, and so quick that
even Cans and Referee Charley whito
stood motionless for an instant, staring
at the form Of Erne as he lay on his
stomach, apparently unconscious but
vainly attempting TO get to his feet.
The six thousand or more men in the
arena were simply petrifed with am0z 0ze-
ment. For the first three seconds not a
single person moved or spoke. Then of a
sudden a mighty cheer burst forth. Men
jumped to their feet and surged toward
the ring
Down and Out.
In the ring stood Cans not five feet
from the PROSTATE form of Erne. He sim
ply watched Erne turn over on his stom-
ach and stretch himself at full length
a beaten man. Cans never moved an inch
until the fatal ten seconds were counted.
Charley White stood side by side with
Cans. his right arm rising and falling,
slowly but surely counting out the light
weight champion.
When the count was completed. Erne
was still on his stomach. frantically try
ing TO get up. But his efforts were futile,
and the lightweight championship had
a LII,
An instant later Erne drew his feet
under him and attempted TO stand. His
bcconds were at his side, and with the aid
Of Referee White they tenderly bore him
TO his corner. He was still unconscious
but dash of cola water brought him back
TO life.
Victor Carried Off.
"Did he knock me out?" he asked of
his seconds.
Then IT must have flashed across his |
mird. for he began TO weep bitterly. In |
the meantime Cans friends and hackers
broke into the ring and carried him to his |
dressing room.
During the minute and forty seconds OF |
boxing not more than eight blows were
struck. The men met in the center OF the
ring. Both were cautious. Cans feinted
his right to the face. Some more spar
ring followed. Again Cans feinted with
his left.
Sent Finishing Blow.
This time he let drive. The blow caught
Erne square on the nose. AS Cans glove
drew back tiny stream Of blood began
10 flow from Erne's nose. They spared
again. Cans feinted left for the head
Dnce more. Erne stepped toward him,
and rs he did Cans right went to the
law. This was the blow that won and
ost the championship. Erne fell to-
ward Cans and then to the floor.
After the bout Cans offered Erne re-
urn match and he accepted.
