SOLONS WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT GERMS ON MONEY

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 24-City
Chemist DIR. Ortha Fielder has been called
TO Washington by the house committee
having in charge the Gaines bill, which
provides for the disinfecting of paper
money.
DIR. Fielder recently created a sensation
by announcing that he had counted the
germs on a paper dollar and found there
were 9O,000,000.
This remarkable statement brought an
invitation for his appearance in Wash
ington, as the solons want to know more
about the discovery.
Dr. Fielder is now engaged in ascertain
ing what kinds of germs may be found
on paper money and declares he has sho,.
beyond the shadow Of a couOt mat the

CORBETT AND
BRITT READY

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-"Young
Corbett," champion weatherweight pugi-
list of the world and Jimmy Britt, who
believes he ought to be champion, have
completed their work of preparation and
are ready to enter the ring at Wood
wards pavilion tomorrow night to settle
the question of relative supremacy. The
battle will be the most important the
champion has engaged in since his last
fight with Terry McGovern. Britt never
worked harder for a coming fight and
both men will go into the ring in nearly
perfect physical condition. Britt realizes
the stake that is at issue, and viii make
a supreme effort to show his California
admirers that he is at the top of his class.
Both fighters were up early this morning,
anxious to take advantage of every min
ute possible and work themselves into
better condition,
After breakfast, Corbett went down with
sweaters and blankets and hit the road for
a l0-mile run. Mentally and physically
his condition could hardly be better. His
chief worry seems to be a fear that he
will go into the ring a heavier favorte
than he is today He thinks that even
money would be about right.
COrbett is the favorite this morning at
10 to 6, and betting men predict that the
odds will be 2 to l before the men get
together.
Britt could go into the ring tonight pre-
pared to put up the fight of his life. He
will be down to weight before he goes
to bed tonight. All of his hard work is
over, and from now until the hour of the
fight he will taken only sufficient exercise
to keep from becoming stiff.

MARINE CLIMPSES
TIDES FOR FRIDAY.

The collier San Mateo, which arrived at
Tacoma yesterday afternoon, on her last
trip south from this port with coal for
Port Los Angeles, encountered the full
force of the recent storms that have ragged
along the coast. The wind found the
heavily laden vessel off Cape Blanco, and
on the night of the 10th and on the 18th
it blew hurricane from the southeast.
Great seas came sweeping aboard forward
and broke as they raced aft. Everything
that was not bolted to the decks was swept

but could not find anything against him.
Mayor Campbell was director in one
of the banks here which failed in the
panic that brought about the downfall of
many such institutions. The records of
that bank show that the causes of the
failure were measures which he had op-
posed. But what did he do when the
failure came? He gave up all his property,
even his home, to pay the debts of honor
for which he could not have been legally
held responsible That's the kind of a
man Mr.. Campbell is.
"The Democrats have asked you to vote
for Mr.. Wright. We ask you not to vote
for him. Who is he? | never looked
upon him or heard of him until five weeks
ago. know some of the wheel horses
of the party, but don't know Mr.. Wright.
The Democrats offered the nomination to
Conrad L. Hoska and others, but they
would not become candidates against Mr..
Campbell, and then Mr.. Wright was in
duced to take it.
Now, why do the Democrats ask you
to vote against Mr.. Campbell? They say
it is because they want a business ad-
mnistration. Another argument against
him is that he refused to remove the
chief of police. The mayor did refuse,
and l honor him for it, because Mr..
Fackler is good officer. We have fight
ing mayor and when he makes up his mind
he news to the line. He would not dis
charge his chief of police at somebody s
request, and that's one of the things they
have against him. They want man like
Tom Humes of Seattle, who turned down
his chief of police because two boss
gamblers asked him to. They ask you to
vote against Mr.. Campbell because he ac-
cepted the resignation of his city attor-
ney. They ask you to vote against him
because he won't discharge the commits
sioner of public works, and they ask you
to vote against him because he did dis
charge a city engineer. It's a case of
'darned if you and darned if you don't "
When Mayor CampbelPs name was an
nounced it was the signal for a repeti-
ton of the scene that followed his nomi-
nation in the same hall few days ago.
AS soon as the cheering subsidized so that
he could proceed, Mr.. Campbell emphat-
ically denied the statement that he had
for his personal advancement made COM
bnation with any state officer, and that
the city administration would not be used
