LYONS AND TIPMAN FIGHT
TWENTY ROUNDS TO A DRAW
Clever Exhibition at Baltimore With
Herford's Negro Best on Points
Played Waiting Game.
Especial to The Washington Times.)

BALTIMORE, Sept. Joe Tipman
and Harry Lyons fought twenty rounds
TO draw at Germania Maennerchor Hall
tonight. From a fistic standpoint, it was
a clever exhibition, but Lyons had the
best of the argument as to points, not
withstanding Referee Mantz's decision
Lyons played waiting game, but the
opening he held out for failed 10 put in
an appearance.
The fighting. for the first five rounds.
was simply a clever sparring exhibition.
After that Tipman was the aggressor
and started in 10 do business. Lyons
blocked his blows. meeting him al every
stage. In the clinches Tipman was the
sufferer. Lyons left worked to advan-
tage on Joe's nose and jaw.
straight right in the tenth brought
blood from Tipman. 4 blow on the nose
followed and Tipman looked distressed.
From the thirteenth TO the end Tipman's
fast movements probably saved him from
a knockout.
In the seventeenth Lyons sent several
stiff blows on Tipman's jaw, and II
looked blue for the white boy. He re-
covered. however, and made itsiively for
Lyons until the end. Lyons came out of
the fight without scratch.

United States Minister Herbert ".
Bowen, at Caracas. Venezuela. has

letter from the Rev. T. s. Pond. the se:-
nior American missionary In that city.
in regard to the necessity Of obtaining
funds to relieve the great distress ex-
isting among the poor OF Caracas
Minister Bowen has informed Mr..
Pond that. he will gladly receive any
contributions that may be sent in care
OF the legation.
Mr. Pond thinks he needs about $1,000.
but could easily use five times that
amount without wasting a cent. Mr..
Pond has lived five years in Caracas.
and never before in any circumstances
of war or peace has he known anything
to compare with the widespread poyeF-
ty of the present time. This he thinks
is largely due to the utter paralysis OF
all capital enterprises. foreign and do
nestle. since the present conflict be-

Mr. Pond says the actually starving

of obtaining something to do, or at
least something to eat.

FAMOUS MARE imp
BRINGS Bot $4,lOO
Idol Of American Turf Sold
at Sheepshead.
Bought by E. A. Upton for John E.
Madden-Her Dam and Half
Brother Are Also Sold.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The famous
black mare Imp was sold at Sheepshead
Bay today to E. A. Upton for s4.100
The mare was the property of the es-
tate of ID. H. Harness, of Chillicothe,
Ohio, and vas bred to Top Gallant in
April last. 1t is understood that Imp
will be sent 10 John f. Madden's place
in Kentucky.
The sales were:

S., 200. Total for three head. $4,000.
Average per head. $4,000.
1t was sad moment for her old care
taker, Tom Tandy. when Imp was sold
today. His love for 1.-The Coal Black
Lady was really part of her career.
No mare, or horse either, of recent
years, was asked to stand the cam
paigning that this great daughter of
Wagner went through. She was foaled
in 1894, and in her several years of
racing won sixty-two races, among
which one finds such great events as
the Suburban and Brighton Handicaps,
in fact, many of the most important Of
the fixtures of the American turf. She
went to the post in the six years she
was raced 40 times. She was first home
sixty-two times. was second thtrty-five
times. third twenty y-nine times. and un-
placed only in forty-four OF her races.
In these contests she beat the very best
of he thoroughbreds and the total of
her earnings was ST. .014.

WILL NOT REFUND
TAX TO RENT AGENT
Commissioners Decline to Establish
What They Fear Might Prove
Troublesome Precedent.

The District Commissioners yesterday
had under consideration peculiar
question relative to refunding taxes re-
Gently paid by an agent for the owner
of certain property. The amount in
VOWED is $16.01, and was paid on Au-
gust 10 by the agent acting for tn ,
owner. On August 26 the agent made
application for the refund on the
ground that he was not authorized to
make the payment and did not intend
TO do so out of his own pocket.
The report of the Assessor on the
case sets forth the foregoing facts, the
property being part OF lot 0 in the
square bounded by Second Third, r and
f Streets southwest, in the name of
Harriet Jackson, the agent being Mr..
BERNARD Leonard. II appears also from
the report that the bill for. the tax
was presented to Mr. Leonard, who ac
cepted service OF the bill and paid it.
The Assessor holds that to grant the
request for refund would establish
bad precedent, and recommends that 1t
be not granted. He states that If Mr..
Leonard is the agent of the property
he must be able to collect the amount
paid, without resort to the expedient of
a refund.
The Commissioners take the same
view of the case as the Assessor, and
have approved his report.

DECLINES APPOINTMENT

Would Interfere Too Greatly With Law
Practice-Candidates Still
Waiting Selection.

While the President passed through
Washington on his way South yester-
day he gave no intimation of how he
proposes to dispose of the District Com
missionership problem. The anxious
candidates VIII now be obliged to wait
for another week at least before there
is an announcement as to whom the Sic
cessor OF the late John w. Ross will be.
To certain extent at least the Presi-
dent has verified the predictions of those
who thought he would select dark
horse. 1t is known that after consider
ing the matter for several weeks, and
just before leaving for his New England
trip, he offered the position to Mr..
Joseph j. Darlington, local attorney.
and that it was refused. Mr.. Darlington,
who could have Lad the Office by simply
taking it, after thinking over the mat
ter for several days decided that the
Commissionership would interfere too
greatly with his private practice. which
is said to net him large sum annually,
and. therefore, he declined. He was not
a candidate. and his name was only
mentioned incidentally in connection
with the vacancy.
Mr.. Darlington's refusal leaves the
matter still open. and it is now possible
the President may fall back upon some
one of the many candidates whose names
were presented to him i month ago
There is much disappointment over the
failure of the President to make the

With an unsteady tread, and his gray
head bowed with age David Freelan1,
who says he is a minister of the gospel
to the colored race. walked into Police
Headquarters yesterday and stated to
Captain Boardman that he had been
buncoed out of s22 by slick young
colOred man.
The aged man stated to the police that
he was sixty-three years old, and had
been minister for more than half his
Nd, bit came here some time ago. He
went TO the Baltimore and Ohio depot
yesterday and, after purchasing his
ticket for East Port. he sat down on one
of the benches and decided to wait for
his train. While he was sitting in the
depot he was accosted by young col
ored man, whom he says was about
twenty-five years old, five feet clever

Got Into Conversation.
Inc young man got into converse
tion. and made it appear that they We're
both going to the same place. The
young man invited the preacher to a
nearby saloon TO get drink of some
kind. The old gentleman consented
When they reached the saloon, Free
land said he took a little wine. while
his companion took a glass of beer. and
the preacher to pay for the
drinks. The stranger stated that he
did not have any money, but was on
his way to the bank to get some he had
there. AS they left the saloon, tho
young man asked Freeland to loan him
s22; that he would pay him back when
he got his money out of the bank. and
besides paying back the amount he bor-
rowed, he would make Freeland pres.
ent of a sum OF money for his kind
ness. They finally reached the Central
Union Bank Building, at Seventh Street
and Louisiana Avenue northwest, and
the young man turned to his elderly
and said:
Now. Mr. Freeland, you stay right
here at the bottom of the steps, and
I'll go up in the elevator and see the
owner OF the bank, and get the money"
Waited in Vain.
The unsuspecting old man consented.
For more than an hour he waited at the
bottom of the steps. He saw the ele-
vator skim up and down several times
and looked anxiously for his friend of
short acquaintance After watching the
elevator for some time he decided to go

upstairs and see what was OBTAINING the
young man. When he reached the floor
on which the elevator man said his COM
panion had got off he went to the room
he was directed to, but was informed
that the negro lad delivered note there
and departed down the steps. The young
negro had apparently slipped out by
different door from the one he entered.
Freeland hung around the building
for quite while, in the hope Of getting
his money back The man did not re-
turn. and Freeland was directed to Po-
lice Headquarters. where he told his
