This il surprising statement even
from Mr.. Addicks. and III the face of the
surprisingly tolerant public sentiment
nf Delaware.
Not only does Addicks say TINT those
who oppose him shall never hold any
Office III Delaware again. but he nvera
that they shall not profit through any
federal patronage.
This statement shows that Addicks is
confident that he controls federal pat

EXPLAINS MUNROE AFFAIR.
Jenrfes Claims He Played with the
Miner Too Long.

Jim Jeffries has at last explained the
Munroe affair. Though there may be many
who think this is a rather late date at
which to speak about the night Munroe
stayed four rounds with the champion and
perhaps got the best Of him, it is neverthe-
less interesting. Jeffries has sent the fol-
lowing statement to a friend in Butte.
Montana:
Because / have held my tongue about
that little comedy in Butte, some people
have a wrong impression about the affair,
ind now I'll tako the trouble to make an
explanation L hope Will settle the matter
once and for all. Munroe was picked 10

packed house to see our show, and three
bouts were advertised. Fitz had a regular
dub for his pponent who went down and
out at the first punch, and the second bout.
between a fellow named Foley and a good
little Montana fighter named La Fontise,
only went two rounds. All that remained
for the crowd. who had paid good money
TO see some kind of an entertainment, was
this fellow Munroe and myself.
Il decided TO give the house a run for
the money. and just kidded Munroe till the
fourth round was nearly over, when /
started in TO clean him up. Every time
tented, however, he went TO his knees,
taking the count. and L couldn't get a fair
punch at him. That was all there was TO

TO WIPE OUT HANDBOOkS
ORDINANCE INTRODUCED AT CHI
CAGO TO SUPPRESS EVIL.
No Racing News to BE sent Over TeIe.
graphic Tickers, Which Are to BE
Licensed by City.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-In an effort to stamp
out the handbook evil, a system Of betting
on horse races which has existed in Chi
cago for several years, Mayor Carter Har-
rison tonight sent an ordinance to the
City Council providing for the licensing of
all Geographic "tickers' in use in the city.
The purpose sought to be obtained by the
ordinance is the prevention of the use of
"tickers" for the transmission of racing
news. betting orders, or other information
for the making of bets or wagers on horse
races, or any other intelligence for the pUr-
pose of gambling.
The license fee for each ticker required
by the ordinance is 81 a year, in addition
pIicant shall faithfully observe and keep all
city ordinances.
In explanation of the necessity for such a
stringent ordinance Mayor Harrison, in a
communication to the Council, said:
Many years ago the evils resulting from
the gambling engaged through the instru-
mentality or various lottery companies be-
came so far reaching and demoraliZing that
general prohibitive legislation by the fed
The evils attendant upon the prevalent
craze for gambling on horse races certainly
demand as vigorous measures as were re-
sorted TO when the United States sentiment
OF the Nation eXacted from Congress the
stamping out OF lottery gambling.
How general is the tendency of the day
W TlSk mODey OH tie outcome OF morse
races may be learned from the recent re-
ports In the local press of notices being
posted by the arrangements of large BUSH
ness houses prohibiting their employees
from making wagers on horse races or
frequenting places where wagers may be
made.
"Handbooks to-day are made in a large
number of saloons. in billiard rooms, bar
bershops and cigar stores. Indeed, ii is
asserted. the suburban trains on various
railroads are systematically worked by
handbook makers, who also employ ennis
saries to make daily rounds of Office build
ings for the soliciting Of bets and the in
crease of patronage.
The revocation of licenses of all licensed
institutions proven guilty Of harboring
handbook makers has only resulted in driv-
ing the makers of books into places which
cannot be reached by this means. For
that reason / have had the ordinance pre-
pared and IL ii is passed by the City Coun-
ell L feel confident IL will put a stop to this
sort of gambling. The ordinance will cut
off all information as to orders, riders,
starters, etc, now given general currency
through the medium of the 'tickers.''"

MICHIGAN PLAYERS OBJECT.
Claim Rough Treatment by Minnesota
Will Cause a Break.

VIII SuuSe a break.
Michigan football players declare that
the athletic relations with Minnesota will
be declared off and no more football games
will be played between teams representing
the two universities. 1t is claimed that in
Saturdays game the Minnesota men were
unnecessarily rough, and did everything
they could to cripple the Michigan players.
The mere fact of the illegally fierce play
on the part of Minnesota is not the only
reason, however, for the general belief at
Ann Arbor that Michigan and Minnesota
have played their last game of football.
Relations between the two schools have
been so strained as the result of the game
that Coach Yost and DR.. Williams are at
outs, chiefly on account of the pertinacity
with which Williams insisted on Clark for
umpire.
The inexcusable conditions which neces-
STATED the stopping of play before, the
limit expired. the crowd sweeping down
upon the field after Minnesota's touch
scenity which the Minnesota players
heaped on the heads of the Wolverines all
through the game, are other conditions
contributory to the same end.
There is q feeling about Michigan Uni
versity that a game with some other strong
Western school. such as Illinois or North
western, with both of which there Is an
era of good feeling just now, would be
much better than the Minnesota contest
hereafter, and the fact that Michigan has
no agreement binding her to a game with
change easily possible. Chicago, it is ar
gued. had a similar experience with Min
nesota, and cut her off the schedule three
years ago, and has proited by the change.
and this should be warrant enough for
Michigan's ability to do the same thing
without any loss of prestige.

had the offer been rejected with scorn and
Indignation, but an effort had been made
TO have the agent Of the poolroom men in
dicted. This effort. however, failed. Com
missioner Greene said that some person,
who is as yet unknown TO him, called OH a
friend OF Captain Piper and. representing
himself TO be an agent of the poolroom
syndicate. said hat il Richard Roe
would get Captain Piper to consent TO a
quiet running of poolrooms, on Jan. l he
would pay to Captain Piper 100000 and
would pay the handsome sum OF $4,000 to
Richard Roe for his services. Richard Roe
was very indignant" said the commits
sioner. land ordered the man out of his
office. He has never seen him since" Later
the friend told Captain Piper OF the incident.
The matter was laid before District At

no witnesses the Indictment could not be
obtained.

Decision Against POolroOmx.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Magistrate Tighe,
in Brooklyn. to-day dismissed the complaint
against Special Policeman Robert G. But
tie, which is considered a victory for the
race-track men against the poolroom inter-
ests. Buttle was employed as a special
officer at the Brighton Beach race track on
July s last, and was arrested OH a charge
of violating the section of the penal code
making il a misdemeanor for a public officer
wilfully to neglect the performance of his
duty. He was arrested in an effort made
by poolroom proprietors TO nave betting
suppressed at the race tracks. The allie
CATION was made that Buttle should have
prevented bookmaker Sol Lichtenstein from
making a book on the track. The magis-
trate held that Lichtenstein was not en-
gagged I'm acts punishable by criminal law.
The acts he was engaged in had been de-
clared not criminal by the Court of Appeals.
Therefore Buttle was not called upon to
arrest Lichtenstein.
