NEW YORK, April %. - Surprises
in the ring are old stories. Even as
great surprise as would be furnished
We're Munroe the man to take away
the title from Jeff.
No one who knew anything at all
Of the play considered the miner ser
iously in his battle with Tom Shar-
key, yet he won that as handily, as
cleverly and as completely as any win
in the ring when went the stipulated
distance without being settled by a
knockout.
MunrOe was taught just exactly how
to beat Sharlley. He was receptive
pupil, followed instructions to the dot
and came out a winner.
Is it possible to teach him how to
beat Jeffries?
Jeffries is very different PROPOSE
ton from Sharkey. 1t is far harder
lesson. But the man who shaped the
miner and coached him to victory over
Sharkey is equal to the task of teach
ing if Munroe could furnish the ma
terial.

the state of Washington in the halls

factions as has nothing before in ten
years. 1t goes without saying that a
requisite to either of them securing
consideration at the hands of the next
republican state convention is that
their own county indorse their can
didacy, and it is their respective eff
forts to secure this Endorsement which
is today making this county the scene
of a political activity as it has not Wit
messed for many years past.

Both men have opened headquar-
ters, and these are thronge1 daily
with their adherents, planning and
working to secure control of the
county convention which assemblies

Mr. Blacks headquarters are in the
Lighthouse block. while Mr.. Meades
law offices in the Glover block have
temporarily been turned over to his
friends who are conducting his cam

HAYNES GIVES UP
HOPE OR WINNING
THREW UP THE FIGHT FOR THE
F. MAYORALTY THIS MORNING.
Says He Will Instruct Attorneys to
End Court Proceedings as Soon as
Possible Recount Reduces Jones'
Lead from 256 to 2s3-Haynes thinks
He Was Justified in Cont sting.

Mayor James G.. Haynes threw up
the fight for the mayoralty this morn
ing when he learned that the recount
had gained him only % votes and that
David P Jones still had plurality Of
1913. He said he was satisfied there
would be no use in carrying the contest
further, and he would direct his attor-
neys to end the proceedings at the first
opportunity.
LITIGATION for the recount, since the re-
suit is now beyond cavi, and there
would never be chance in the future
for insinuations.
The referees, just before noon today,
finished the count Of the ninth ward.
1t proved to have been carefully count
ed, with the net result of no change.
The ninth is the only ward in which
the totals remain the same after the
recount.
The recount of the first district of the
thirteenth ward developed surprise
as David P. Jones lost 81 votes owing
forward from one page "17l' instead
Of the correct igure-"l4 Ill.,
The referees did not make any sum
mary either by wards or districts, but
according to running score kept by
Ed A. Stevens, the net gain for Mayor
Haynes is 33 votes. N. F. Hawley
one of the referees, who also kept E
score, has the Haynes gain at 25; but
a discrepancy is noted in Mr.. Hawley 4
figures and it is probable that Stevens
is correct. This gives Jones plurality
Of 233 instead of the 256 reported BY
the canvassing board.

morning in st. Paul was that the anti

ton had a candidate under cover. His
name is not disclosed, but w: B. Dean

The Van SAINT talk is coming from
members who have been counted for
Clapp. It has alarmed the Clapp man
ayers, who are seeking to minimize it.
They do not realize the extent Of it,
but have already heard from three
to leave Clapp and go to Van SAINT on
the slightest opening.

has caused a change IN sentiment among

to look around to determine the feeling
in their district. The southern coun

Clapp to declare definitely his attitude
on this legislation is arousing feeling
against him: so 10 = -,

EMANCIPATION OF
INDIANS PLANNED
Congressman Steenerson Would
Permit Them to Run Their
Own Affairs.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Representativ We
Stevenson is preparing a bill which is
intended to have the effect of elinli-
mating the Indian national problem. It
will provide for the complete emancipa-
ton of the Indians, so far as the domi-
nation of the government in their bust
ness affairs is concerned.
Altho the details are not worked out,
the bill will provide that the Indians
shall be given title to their lands and
moneys as fast as they are adiudged
to have the requisite bus mess ability to
attend to their own affairs. The judg-
ment on that point is to be conferred on
courts. Discussing the proposed meas
ure, Mr.. Stevenson said:
"There are many Indians who are ca
pable Of handling their own affairs, but
who are obliged, under the present law
to submit all business matters to the
secretary Of the interior. If the bill
T am preparing becomes law, it will
give the Indians all the personal and
business rights of whites and will grad.
ually reduce the number of Indians I'm.
der the control of the government. Many
Indians would be taken from the rolls
at once and others would be taken of
year after year, until the Indian prob
lem gradually reached settlement. -

remarkable story about the fate of the
French and German naval attaches in
Port Arthur.
The agent says Viscount Hayashi was
ordered on Aug. % by til lthorities at
Toxic to communicate to the English
press report stating that a junk flying
the French flag had tried to escape from
Port Arthur. He declined to do 50: The
agent asserts that the junk was flying
the French flag, and, not noticing her
signals, several Japanese torpedoboats
fired on her. Two Chinese and the Ger
man naval attache were killed. The
junk was then stopped and taken along
side Japanese cruiser. After she
had been visited by a. Japanese officer
the captain of the cruiser ordered the
Junk released and then told the torpedo
boat to sink her,. altho he knew the
French naval attache was on board, his
chief anxiety being to avoid trouble
about the death Of the German attache
