GEORGE G. MEADE POST
HOLDS INSTALLATION
Five of the Former Commanders
Induced to Accept Offices for
Another Term.

- The new officers of General George G.
Meade Post No. As, Grand Army of the
Republic, were installed In the Pioneer
building last Tuesday night by Past Post
Commander A. E. Leavitt. A noteworthy
fact in connection with the installation
was that five former post commanders
accepted office for this term. The reason
for this is that the membership is be-
coming smaller year by year General
Sheehan was post commander ten years
ago and at the unanimous request of the
members consented to serve again in or
der that the old post named for the vic
torious general of the battle of Gettvs-
burg may put on a good front when the
National Encampment meets here next
August
The ladies of Meade Relief Corps as
sisted at the installation service r%here
was a programme of entertainment with
musical selections by Walter c. Howe
and Herbert Thayer and bugle calls and
taps by M. G. Orr, all sons of veterans of
the Civil War. The new officers are:
General John f. Sheehan. commander:
Robert T. Graham, senior vice com
mander; John c. Scott, junior vice COM
mander; William f. Howe, Quartermaster:
Joseph Washington. surgeon; Albion e.

JEFFRIES SEEKS
LONGER RESPITE
Is in No Hurry to Fight
to Retain HonorS
as Champion.
Delaney Says the Big Boxer
Will Defend His Title
in Due Time.

Concerning the action of James ]. Cor
bett in accepting an offer Of the Hayes
Valley Athletic Club Of a $4,000 purse
for fight between Corbett and Jim JEFF
fries, Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager,
said last night:
1.-The offer of the Hayes Valley Club Is
reasonable and probably made in good
faith. AS the club leaves the offer open
for thirty days it would be foolish for
US TO accept Just now l will join JEFF
IN two weeks and until then there will be
nothing doing.
"Jeffries did more fighting and less talk
ing than any other champion the world
ever had, having fought for the title five
times in three years. He realizes that if
he keeps that up some one Will take his
measure consequently he will stay on
the road with FitZ as long as he can
make more money there than in the ring.
However, he has no idea of retiring and
az the proper time he will consider a pro-
position from any white man living. Just
say for me JEFF is no dead one and when
he starts again he viii win the cham
pionship easier than ever before"
SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. Il won t
fight for that" said Champion James j.
Jeffries to-day when shown the offer of
the Hayes Valley Athletic Club of a $20,-
tween him and James J. Corbett. Jeffries
refused to give any reason for his re-
fusal
He and F'itzsimmons will remain in Salt
Lake for several days, in order to give
Fitzsimmons hand, which was badly in
jUred in a recent exhibition bout, a
chance TO heal.

TESTIMONY IN MOXEY
CASE ALL BEFORE COURT
William Thomas Tells of a Visit
From Young Professor" Rela-
tive to the Estate.

The taking of testimony in the Moxey
case was ended yesterday afternoon in
Judge Coffey's court and the case will
be argued on January 10. The testimony
was of minor Importance and most Of
the time was taken up in wrangling be-
tween Attorneys Rix and Hoefier for
Mrs. Vaudeville and Attorney Truman
for Mrs Moxey.
The only important witness of the day
was William Thomas, attorney. who
testified for the petitioner, Mrs. Mande-
vile. Thomas stated that on May 81 Of
the present year Moxey called at his Of
flee in regard to Mrs. Moxey's timber land
in MendOcino County Moxey wanted to
find out the exact value Of the estate and
also demanded that he be shown certain
papers belonging to it.
Thomas said ne told Moxey the estate
was a very valuable one. but would show
him no papers unless ne produced a writ
ten order from Mrs. Moxey Thomas also
testified that MoXey impressed him as be-
ing insulting person, and only that
the physical culture teacher seemed to be
in training he would have thrown him
fed that he had acted as attorney for
Mrs. MOXey in several instances and
looked out for her timber land in Mendo-
cinO County.
Mrs. Dr. Turman, a teacher of psy-
cholOgy, was also placed on the stand.
She proved a poor witness. being unable
10 remember anything of Importance. She
said that on one occasion Moxey told her
he wanted Mrs. A. Lloyd Smith to dress
up in fashionable manner, so as to make
Mrs MoXey jealous.
w. b. Harrington, an official of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, tes-
tilted that Mrs. Moxey had sent a tele-
gram TO Harry Vaudeville on July 15 last
The telegram was admitted as evidence.
but was of TO Importance.
Carrie Cunningham, a reporter on a
morning paper, was put on the stand for
a few minutes, but her testimony was
also very dry.
Mrs. Moxey then took the stand and
admitted that she had sent the telegram
10 Vaudeville.

VETERAN CoURSING MAN
Defends HIS REPUTATION
Judge John Grace Furnishes a Post
Reporter Who Viliies Him in
Untr1lthfrll Article.

As C. -TlminatiCn OF a series OF bitter
personal a -acBs in the columns of the
Post John Grace, the coursing official,
thrasned c. Jordan. the reporter who sup
piled the information on which the arti-
cles were based, last night at a coursing
meeting. Some one had just called Judge
Grace's attention TO a particularly brutal
and untruthful attack when Jordan en-
tered the room. Judge Grace demanded
that Jordan retract. When the latter
who is not half the age Of the veteran
Judge, refused TO retract. the latter struck
him
Some two months since the publisher Of
the Post demanded that the Union Cours-
ing Park pay S25 per week for its adver-
tisement- This was considerably in excess
Of the amount paid for some years and
The demand was refused. Each week a
check was sent TO the Post for advertis-
ing at its regular rates. The Post then
began a systematic attack upon the
cOursing park. Judge Grace, who is only
an emplOye, was singled out as a shining
mark He was outrageously vilihed. the
attacks all being based on absolute un-
truths.
Some months since Judge Grace jour
neyed 10 81. Louis and judged the Ameri-
c3I Waterloo, by special request. Shortly
after his return he received a xalua BILE
bride and a pair of silver spurs from. the
officials Of the American Coursing Board
at St Louis as a token of esteem. This
incident has formed the basis for a num-
ber OF Post stories. ii being intimated
that California cOursing man presented
the articles and that i'm return Judge
Grace favored his dogs.

BEGGARS MUST
LEAVE STREETS
Many Arrests Are Made
Under Special Order
Of the Chief.
Mendicants Grow Too Bold
and Will No Longer
Be Tolerated.

Chief Of Police Whitman has decided TO
rid the main thoroughfares OF the city
Of the numerous vagrants and beggars
that iEfest them. Several officers were
detailed last night on various streets to
keep a sharp lookout for the troublesome
element and as a result many arrests
were made
For several months beggars have con-
gTegated at transfer points and solicited
aims Many of them were unworthy OF
charity but persisted in their demands
for money, even TO the point of insolence.
From Clay and heaTny streets complaints
have come 10 police headquarters that
women have been repeatedly insulted by
Nagrants. and to this particular location
he chief has directed his first attack
Last night officer James Connolly was
detailed TO take all Objectionable char
acters into custody and was kept busy
several hours sending prisoners TO the
Central police station
Passengers alighting from the street
cars at the intersection of these two
streets have been approached by mendi-
cants who, when their requests for aims
have been refused. have poured out
Trades of abuse. Late at night ladies'
have been approached and insulted. The
beggars do not operate when the uni
formed police are in the vicinity. Many
Of the mendicants are impOstOrs, and az
ter being arrested and searched al police
headquarters money sufficient 10 keep
them in food and lodgings for weeks has
been found their persons.
Chief Whitman IS determined that the
practice Of approaching people for aims
shall cease and viii keep his special de
tail in force until every beggar is off the
streets
