Gardn RS Left Hook Put him Out.
tBy the Asgociated Press.l

Louisville, KY, May 13.-George Gard
ner was given the decision over Marvin
Hart at the end of the twelfth round IL.
their fight before the Southern Athletic
Club tonight Hart, at the end of the
twelfth round claimed that his right hand
had been broken and gave up the fight
The combat was that of young bulls in
spring time. Hart was strong and Wig
orous but Gardner was much faster and
landed oftener Both were very weak d.
the finish. The fight was to have gone
twenty rounds at catch weights, with Tim
Hurst as referee.
The men stepped into the ring at 10
o'clock. Hart weighed 176 pounds and
Gardner 1874. They got to work imme-
diately, Gardner leading with hard right
swings which were cleverly ducked by
Hart. In clinch Gardner landed hard
upper cut to the chin, but the return from
Hart was hot. Time after time in the
rounds that followed, the men swung
vicious hooks for the head, each working
for a speedy finish. Gardner invariably
made fine play on Harris wind with short
arm jolts during the clinches. Hart was
putting up a long range fight, but his
wicked swings generally went wild or
were blocked cleyerly by Gardner.

IS MARR6QUIN OUT 2
Or. Herran Finds it Rather
Hard to Credit.
Gloomy Picture Of The Terrible Plight cf &C.
Iumbia After -Four Years Of Internecine
Strif..
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 13.-"I doubt very
much if President Marroquin has resigned
as president of the Colombian govern
ment," said Dr. Herran, the Colombian
Charge D'Affaires today Il always have
been promptly advised by cable of any
Cabinet changes, and especially when such
changes effected the Office of Foreign AT
fairs. Neither the State Department nor
the legation has received confirmation CT
the reported resignation, therefore it does
not seem reasonable"
Mr.. Cromwell, counsel for the Panama
Canal Company, discussed the canal sltua-
ton with Secretary Hay today. HIS adj
vices from the company agents on the
isthmus contradict the story printed yes
terday to the effect that President Mario
quin had resigned. AS communicated to
Secretary Hay they were to the effect
that President Marroquin's government -
actually stronger now owing to the reslg-
nation of General Fernandez as Minister
of War. Fernandez is said to have been
a discordant element in the Cabinet and
the fact that his strong personality could
be displaced without causing any COM
motion is considered an evidence of Mar
roquin's power.
A gloomy picture of the terrible plight
in which Columbia finds itself as the re-
suit of the exhausting four years of re-
bellion is contained in a communication
which has reached this city from source
of unquestionable reliability.
These advices state that on March fstI
the government gave notice that 1T had
stopped the issue of paper money. Con-
sequently the government early IN April
was almost entirely without funds. It
had not enough to pay running expenses,
to say nothing of foreign claims and de-
nands. Not a cent Of interest had been
paid on the national debt since the War
commenced in 1899. The claims growing
out of the recent revolution were assum
ing tremendous proportions and as there
was no other means of relief it was APP
parent that the government again must
have resource to the Autograph stones
and start the presses running again.
Moreover. it was the general opinion that
even the small measure of relief which
might follow the receipt of the $10.000,00O
from the United States on account OF the
Panama Canal could not be obtained. as
it was not expected that Congress would
ratify the treaty. At one time last year,
exchange on New York was $4,000: that
is to say $4,000 Colombian dollars were re-
CURED to purchase one dollars worth of
goods in the United States 1t was feared
that the rate would be even higher this
summer, for there was over one billion
dollars worth of this paper money aAoat
and it was expected that five hundred
million more would be issued Immediately
to pay war expenses. The correspondent
said the conditions in Colombia at the be
ginning of April were comparable to those
existing in France in 1906.

TIE cAsx OF THE LUMBER YEN.
It's Final Determination Hangs on Issue In
volvsd in Defendants Demurrer.
(By the Associated Press.)

Macon, Ca, May 13.-The hearing in
the case of Georgia Saw Mill Association
VS., the Southeastern Freight Association
and the several defendant railroads com
posing it, was resumed today.
Counsel for compliments offered addi-
tional affidavits to show that while the
rate per ton per mile on other COM
modities had steadily decreased the rate
on lumber per ton per mile had steadily
increased.
Copies of circular letters of S. r. Par
rotte, chairman of the Southeastern
show that as the agent of the combined
defendant roads, hendictated rates agreed
upon by an executive committee.
Counsel for the defendant railroads
presented dispositions to. show that the
railroads fixed their own rates and not
the Southeastern Freight Association.
Statements were also presented to show
that the railroads north of the Ohio ex-
acted the full rate on the through rate
Ohio River from Cairo to Cincinnati, leav-
from Georgia mills to points beyond the
ing toethe lines south of the Ohio 21z to
4 mills per ton per mile as their share.
Defendants claimed that the freight
charge on lumber was not equal to the
price of lumber at the mills, as claimed
by the compliments; and claimed that
the rates on lumber were lower than the
maximum rate on other commodities. 1t
was also claimed by the defendants that
the quality of lumber shipped from Geor-
gia mills was of greater value and better
quality than claimed by the plaintiffs.
1t was also claimed by the defendants
that lumber had not been singled out
for an advance in rates, as an advance
had been made in the rate on other COM
modities.
Finally the defendants claimed that
the proposed advance in lumber rates
was practically restoration of the rate
ir force IN 1891, when the price of lumber
was about the same as it is now.
A plea of nom jurisdiction having been
raised by the defendants the case in its
final determination hangs upon the issue
raised by the questions involved in the
demurrer of the defendants.

EXPERIMENTS OFF HATrERBs.
throwing Vertical searchlights Against the
Clouds Visible Over Seventy Miles.
(Vrginian Pilot.)


The United States light house Depart
ment has for the past several days been
engaged in carrying on some import
ant experiments in the way of light
signals off Cape Hatteras. The rays
are flashed heavenward, which enable
mariners, it is said, to see them many
miles farther than when shown by the
present horizontal method.
The experiments in question were
the result of considerable agitation and
discussion on the subject through the
columns of newspapers and marine jour
mails some time ago, several prominent
sc afaring men and scientists declaring
that there was ample room for improve
ment on the present manner of light sig
mailing on the coast.
It is said that experiments have been
made with vertical search light throw
ing, where the light was visible more
than seventy miles. The United States
government regards Cape Hatteras as
one of the most important shipping points
on the Atlantic coast. and Uncle Sam
spends thousands of dollars to give coast
wise traders protection against the death
dealing crags which ifne that portion of
the North Carolina seaboard.
The government will shortly begin the
erection Of light house to take the
place of the Diamond Shoal light ship
which does duty on one of the toughest
and most perilous spots in the world
The new wireless telegraph station at
Cape Hatteras will soon be completed
and in operation, enabling mariners many
miles northward and southwark and sea-
ward IN acnuaint themselves with the
conditions of the weather off the pro-
montory. The experiments of last week
may result in a complete change for the
better in the lights.
These constant improvements which
the government is making IN the aids to
navigation are followed with much inter-
est by shippers and seafaring men who
are vitality affected thereby.

on Strike
(By the Associated Press. }

Denver, Col, May 1.-Two hundred
cooks. 500 walters and 500 butchers and
100 bakers were called out on strike to-
day by the Pure Foods Council. Nearly
all the restaurants in the city are closed.
The butchers walkout included those en-
ployed at the stock yards and many of
the meat markets The union bakers
we're called out from not only the houses
deemed fair, but also from those against
which labor has no grievance. The cause
OF the trouble is the refusal of various
bakeries and groceries to make contracts
with the unions.
Including the transfers who have been
on strike for several days, the number of
strikers today is estimated at 1900, most
OF them being butchers, meat handlers,
bakers, cooks and walters.
After a conference with the fire and
police board the general executive com
mittee of organized labor agreed that
there shall be no picketing.
