Mr.. sTRAUS, THE REFORMER

Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus, Of Baltimore,
who made himself notorious by attiliat-
ing during the late session of the Legs
lature with the Republicans, though
he had been elected a. a Democrat, is
again posing before The public in the
attitude of reformer Ii will b. re-
membered that Nr. Straus Was "a can
didate for the Speaker,hip of the House
of Delegates aud when be got no sup
port and was turned Gown 10y the Dem
ocratic caucus he straightway began to
play the par, of a reiormer. The Dem
ocrat.c party was corrupt ON then on
and. therefore. needed reforming; but
Mr.. Sraus aid not. some how or other,
discover thi, coudition until he failed
to secure the speaker>hip. He seems
to have teen entirely willing to be atiil-
lated with a corrupt Democracy if he
had been made Speaker. 1t looks to
most people a if his ideas of reform
had sprung out of his Disappointment.
Along the lines of tuis great reforuer's
work we notice his efforts to invest-
gate the daings of the State Board of
Education and the Normal school
Mr.. Straus and his Republican allies
put through the House of Delegates
resolution naming committee to
make such an investigation after the
adjournment of the Legis' stature The
committee has gone to work. 1t has
han before it some Of the officials of
the Normal School and has demanded
the possession of the boards books of
account. This demand has been re
fused, al d now Mr.. Straus threatens to
send the lecalcitrart witut sses to Jail
for contempt. What Jealous reformer.
Where doe, he get the power to COM
NIT anyone to jail? He may succeed
in getting some suits on his back for
false imprisonment before he finishes
1t is folly to talk about a committee of
the House having authority to send
anybody to Jail for contempt after the
House has finally adjourned. The
House itself can only commit whilst it
is in session. Upon what principle can
a committee Of the House do " hat the
House by reason of its not being in
session. cannot do? Nor has The House
alone power to authorize any commit
tee to send man to Jail for refusing to
produce books before that committee
long after the legislative session has
closed. The session Of the Legislature
is limited to ninety days The power
of the House to commit for contempt
can only he exercised during that ses-
sion of ninety days. If the House can
by a resolution empower a committee
to act after adjournment and 10 COM
NIT witness for refusing to produce
books and papers after adjournment,
then the House can by mere resolu-
ton perpetuate its power to commit
Notwithstanding the explicit provision
of the Constitution that its power to
commit can only be exercised during
the session of ninety days. The COM
mittee appointed by the House would
then have greater power than the
House has. Personal liberty is not so
cheap in this State as to be at the mercy
of rowing committee of one of the two

CHAMPION TO RACE AGAIN

1t Is generally understood by the pa
irons OF the Colosseum why Champion
was awarded the 25-mile race at the track
last Wednesday evening. According to
the agreement between the riders, and Is
the rule in all paced races. II an accident
happens In the first mile, new start
shall be made. Mclean had completed
the first mile and was entering upon the
second when he received puncture.
Champion was entitled To go on with the
race until the referee called him off or
Mclean restarted. In the D-mile race
Mclean won.
Mclean was furious at the outcome of
the event and requested his manager, +.
O. Sheehan, to get after Champion for
another race Mclean wanted to bet $500
that he could defeAt Champion next We'd
nesday and Champion accepted with
promptness. Whether or not Mclean
would have defeated Champion in the
first race has caused considerable COM
ment and provoked heated discussion
Champions admirers claim that he had
extra miles to ride, while Mclean was
resting. and 1t was these miles that tired
the Frenchman In the second race. Nc

CLANCY DEFEATED

The Home Athletic club OF Central
Falls held club smoker at its club rooms
last evening, three bouts being on the
card. The principal bout was a l0-round
so between young Clancy of Pawtucket,
formerly young Corbetts sparring part
ner, and Chester Goodwin of Chelsea. a
rapidly rising youngster.
The Chelsea boy is certainly a good one
and one who will make his mark in the
boxing game. IL he keeps right He is a
very clever boxer and a hard puncher. He
had the best OF the bout all the way
through. and several times II looked as
though Clancy must go down, but the
Pawtucket boy by a great show OF game
ness stayed the limit. although when he
left the ring he was on the verge OF col
lapse.
Goodwin was given the decision on
points.
The first preliminary was between Max
and Harry Freeman, brothers, OF Paw
tucket and they gave good exhibition
for six rounds. The second bout was be-
tween young Vincent OF Pawtucket and
Barney Mylod Of Providence. The referee
stopped the bout In the fifth round,
awarding the decision to Vincent.
