Methods Of Intlmida alton.
John 6eitz and Ire Fink, Two Strikers, are
Taken In Custody Upon Complaint
OF William A. Lynch.

Accused Of threatening to kill JOS
eph Jones, molder at the Aultman
Co., and to burn his home, Ira Fink,
901 South Mckinley avenue. and John
Beltz, GIT Center street. strikers at
that plant were arrested Saturday
morning. If the statements made are
found to be correct, Beltz and Fink
will be dealt with harshfy.
1t is claimed by the molders that
they can prove an alibi and the union
will fight the case to the end.
On Thursday night, 1t is alleged,
Beltz, Fink and about IL other strik-
ers at the Aultman Co., went to Jones'
home and demanded that he come out.
When he appeared they asked him to
quit his work at the plant.
Jones replied that he could not cease
working, as his wife was very iii and
he needed money for doctor bills, med
icine and the necessities of life. Re-
ceiving this answer, the strikers are
said to have hurled epithets at Jones,
threatening that If he did not do as
they desired his house would be burned
to the ground and that he would be
summarily dealt with. During the
controversy, Mrs. Jones, Ill in bed,
heard what was going on. The excite

! ment caused change for the worse
and her condition is now serious
Jones is not an importer molder, but
has worked at the snop for some time.
He did not quit when the rest of the
strikers went out
Charges against Beltz and Fink were
filed by William A. Lynch, president OF
the company. Beltz was arrested by
Officer Brisbin Saturday and Fink, not
knowing that an affidavit had been
gotten out against him, came to head
quarters and endeavored to get his
friend out on bond.
While in the mayors Office Sergeant
Riblet informed Fink that he was un-
der arrest, charged with the same Of
fense marked up against Beltz. Both
prisoners furnished bond for their ap-
pearance Monday morning at 8 o'clock.
Attorney ID. b. Day has been secured
by the company and the molders' un-
ion has also retained counsel.
More arrests will be made in the
affair Saturday. The molders are
greatly incensed at the company's ac-
tion, claiming that they are not guilty
of the act charged. This Is the first
show of violence since the trouble be-
gan.

Jim JEFFR|ES, UNDISPUTED
CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
Put Corbett. Down and
Out In Ten Fast
Rounds.
Blows to the Stomach
Brought an End to
the Contest.

San Francisco, Anug. 15.-Jim JEFF
fries arose late this morning showing
hardly a scratch. The blows which
Corbett had struck him have failed
to leave bruise or mark and the
champion could have fought another
battle without trouble. He took his
victory quietly in the same manner
that characterized all his movements
in training before he fought. Out
come could not have been otherwise"
said JEFF, though the fight lasted lon
ger than l thought it would. Corbett
fought good fight and did some good
work in the eighth and ninth rounds"
Jim Corbett was a sore man in body
this morning and much disappointed
at the outcome. JEFF fought a re-
markable fight" said Corbett, "and
an greatly surprised at his improve
ment in fighting. He met me more
than half way and beat me fairly 1
Thought Jeffries would tire but he
seemed to grow stronger as the fight
progressed
The turnstyles showed that 1O.60G
people had gathered TO witness the
fight, the largest crowd in the history
of pugilism on the coast The receipts
of the fight will amount to $62, $40 of
which sum seventy per cent. or s32, ,72s
will go to Jeffries. Corbett will re-
ceive $10,909 as his share.
dispatch from the ringside at the
close of the battle last night said:
James j. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight of the world, played with Jim
Corbett for nine and one-half rounds
tonight and then Corbetts seconds mo-
toned to Referee Graney to stop the
fight in order to save their man from
needless punishment.
The end came shortly after the be-
ginning of the tenth round, when JEFF
fries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbett's stomach. The
man who conquered John l.. Sullivan
dropped to the floor in agony and the
memorable scene at Carson City, when
Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar
plexus blow, was almost duplicated.
This time, however, Corbett struggled
to his feet and again faced his gi-
gantic adversary. With hardly mo-
ment's hesitation Jeffries swung his
right and again landed on Corbett's
stomach. Jim dropped to the floor
and then it was that Tommy Ryan,
seeing that it was all over, motioned
to Referee Graney to stop the pun
ishment
The fight demonstrated beyond all
doubt that Jeffffries stands alone in
his class. He showed remarkable i'm
provement in both speed and skill.
Corbett during the first part of the
eighth, was almost outpointed and the
few blows he landed on Jeffries were
apparently without sting. Jeffries was
never in better condition. He looked
lighter than usual and the way he
moved about on his feet and the fire.
quency with which he countered Cor
belts leads astonished everybody.
