Sheriff Serves Notice He Will Obey the
Governors Order.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. O.-Sheriff Henry
A. Dickson, of Wayne county. at noon to-
day announced that he would not allow the
Corbett-McGovern fight to be pulled off in
Detroit or Wayne county, that Governor
Bliss had instructed him to stop the fight
and that he had been advised by an attor-
ney that the only thing for him to do was
to stop it, This morning, Sheriff Dickson,
speaking of the proposed fight. said that he
interpreted the Governors letter Of yester-
day as merely holding the sheriff response
BILE to see that no state law was violated,
and not as an order to prevent the contest.
The sheriff said he did not consider boxing
as dangerous as football. 81 have decided
to take an expert with me to the Corbett-
McGovern contest" said Dickson, Ito see
that things are as .hey should be- The con-
test is legal and l do not see how 1 could
prevent the men from entering the ring
A few hours later he announced the fight
could not be pulled of. This was after a
conference with the Governor, who said:
IL thought L made my letter to the sheriff
plain enough. 1t was my intention then, as
it is now, that he prevent the fight from
taking place. l so instructed him, 1 think. "

Harris Discusses Ruling.

In discussing the instructions issued by
Governor Bliss Sam Harris, McGovern's
manager, is quoted as saying:
Il have had so many similar experiences
recently / have become casehardened. OF
course Governor Bliss order makes 1t
clear that we cannot box on the soil of
Michigan. In view of his announcement 1t
would be folly to attempt. to hold the bout.
OF course there would have been no viola
ton of the law. but when prejudice is
aroused ii is useless to attempt to combat
it. By prejudice / mean that Governor
Bliss permits the murderous battle of foot
ball to rage all over the State of Michigan
and does not raise hand. When two box
ers seek to contest with soft gloves he is
deeply Mortified and is ready to call out the
militia. If this isn't discrimination please
tell me what il is
The dissolution of the Injunction ordered
by Judge Toney in the Louisville fight case
has not been appealed FROM and therefore
the order stands as a permanent one. 1t
will be remembered that Bob Gray was en-
joined from giving the fight between Nc
Govern and Young Corbett" On a hear
ing short time ago Judge Toney held that
the injunction could not hold, since a felony
could only be reached by an action at COM
mon law and not i'm a court of chancery.
There were twenty days i'm which TO APP
peal but as no appeal was taken Gray and
Louisville, as we'll as all the balance of the
state OF Kentucky, can give boxing shows.

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.
No Trouble About "A Sufficient Water
supply.
Engineering Magazine,


II may be assumed that with the lapse OF
years the traffic through the Panama canal
will call for the daily passage OF the larg-
est number of vessels that can mechanicai-
~ be accommodated-say twenty-four con-
voys moving in one or the other dlrections
having an average tonnage OF 5000 tons.
and serving the needs OF an annual franc
of about 100000 tons. which is about triple
that OF the Suez canal. A comparison OF
the demands of the canal for lOw-water
supply with the annual discharge of the
Chagres at Alhajuela, Will make apparent
the fact that the river is marvelously well
adapted TO meet the needs Of the canal. lt
supplies all the water than can ever be
demanded by any probable traffic for CEN
turtles 10 come, and yet with judicious reg
ulation no annoyance from currents VIII
ever be experienced by shipping on any
part of the route. Nothing better could
be desired TO subserve the object In view.
Far from being menace the Chagres Is
most useful friend.
The contrast is striking when COM
parison is made with the conditions exist
ing in Nicaragua. where, for a distance
greater than the whole length Of the ca
nal in Panama shipping in transit must
swept by strong trade winds with currents
due TO the entire drainage of region
1900 square miles In extent, where even
the possibility of passage is dependent on
skillful and accurate regulation OF the level
of a vast lake covering 3.0Os square miles.
where the only outlet Is fifty miles distant
and where the natural level Is subject 10
considerable oscillations varying from
month TO month and from year 10 year.
The question OF water supply alone should
be sufficient To decide the choice between
the two routes. One Is certain and sure:
the other cannot but be subject 10 frequent
and costly delays IN transit.

The Growth of Ears.


SATURDAY Evening IoSt-
The systematic examination of more than
10000 pairs of human ears in England and
France has resulted in some interesting
conclusions. For one thing, Ii Is ascer-
the later decades of life: in fact, it ap-
pears never to stop growing until death.
IL one will take the trouble TO look around
i'm any assemblage of people, as at church,
he will discover that the old folks have
ears considerably larger than those of the
middle-aged "A woman who has small,
shell-like ears at twenty years of age will
be very apt to possess medium-slzed ears
at forty years and large ears at sixty.
Why ears should go on growing all ones
life any more than noses Is mystery.
There are a good many points about them
that are Instructive. their shapes being
markedly persistent through hefedity. Any
ear will be handed down. so TO speak. from
father TO son for generation after gener-
alton with comparatively little modifica-
ton. Some authorities on criminology
assert that criminals are very apt to pos
sess a peculiar kind of ear. which is recog-
nized by an expert in such matters.
There Is probably nobody I'm the world
who has a pair of ears perfectly matched:
in most people the two differ perceptibly.
not only in shape but also in size. FREE
quently they are not placed precisely alike
on the head. The age OF a person may be
judged with great accuracy by the ears.
which. after youth is passed. assume an in
creasing harshness of contour. A pretty
woman whose first youth has departed may
not show the fact in other ways. but these
telltale features will surely tell the story
of the flight of time. Then there is the lit
tie wrinkle that comes just in front Of
each ear during the thirties-a fatal and
ineradicable sign.
Near the top of each ear. just within the
downturned edge and slightly toward the
back will be found. IL one feels for IL, a
small lump OF cartilage. This Is a rem
nant OF what was originally the tip of the
ear. when ever so long ago that organ in
our remote ancestors had point on IL.
Most OF the apes to-day have pointed ears,
but in human beings the upper edge OF the
organ has in the course OF ages been
folded over so as TO cover the real tip.

DEAL FOR BIG GAMES.
Indiana and Notre Dame Will Play
Here If Grounds Can BE Secured.

Athletic Director ]. H. Horne. of Indiana
University, said last night at the Grand
that the arrangements for a series of foot
ball games between Indiana and Notre
Dame, to be played in Indianapolis, had
been practically closed. so far as the two
schools are concerned, and everything now
depends on whether the grounds can be
secured.
I'VE are negotiating for Washington
Park" said Mr.. Horne, but have not
been able to get proposition that seemed
altogether reasonable. If Mr.. Watkins will
meet us half way, and l believe he will
eventually, L think we shall close the deal
and guarantee Indianapolis some interest
ing football for at least two years. The
Notre Dame people are anxious TO play
here, and so are we. The matter has been
left to me to get the grounds and i am
camping on Mr.. Watkins's trail at present.
THE games will probably be played some
time about the first of November of each
year. We should like to play Thanks
giving game here, of course. from a selfish
standpoint, because it would undoubtedly
be a profitable one, but We would not at
tempt to break in on the games of the
Shortridge and Manual Training High
Schools and the University of indianapolis"

XXX
P. T. Powers, president of the National
Association of Minor Leagues, says he
hopes the big leagues will reach an
amicable settlement. while the minor
leagues are on a very solid basis" said he.
'yet if there was peace. with a consequent
observance of contract obligations, the
situation would be improved. Naturally a
new national agreement would be best for
all concerned. L would have to see the
document before expressing an opinion. A
new agreement to secure the favor of the
minors would have to cover all the
leagues"
Powers intimated that he was suspicious
of the peace negotiations between the
larger leagues and that the minor organiZa-
tons would hold aloof until the fight was
settled. Powers said any new national
agreement would have to be minus the
feature of heavy tribute heretofore paid to
major leagues for protection" that did not
protect.
w. H. Watkins declared yesterday that
he had received no official word concern
ing the declaration of President Hickey. of
the American Association, to move the st.
Paul franchise and club to some other city
in view Of the fact that Lennon may ex-
perence trouble in securing a downtown
park. If President Hickey is sincere in this
declaration he must possess some inside in
formation that the association will have a
chance to secure very good city to take
the place of st. Paul. There is still some
talk of invading Chicago, and recent stories
show that Pittsburg may be made an
American League city. which would leave
Detroit open. Pittsburg will be represented
at the American League meeting in Chicago
tomorrow and a bid for a franchise will
probably be made. Rumor connects Robert
Z. Bruce with the proposed American AS
ISOLATION club in Chicago.
