Senator Groom on that day was the

Senator Dunn said this was a ques-

letter from ex.Attorney General Mon
roe McClurg strongly condemning this
kind of legislation.
Mr.. Belk said we should not care
about who or what was individually
benefited by this law. The only ques.
ton with him was whether the bill
carried into effect the intention Of
the constitution. He believed 1t would.
He did not care anything about local

corporations note, the statement Oh
that eminent fnancier, Jacob H.
Schiff, a director OF the Western IN
ion Telegraph Company, that Mr.. Geo.
]. Gould. the leading spirit of that
corporation, when informed of the
charge that the company was being
used to aid the race-track gambling
poolroms, said to the complaining d.
rector, Mr.. Morris K. JessuP, that
rather than have one dollar OF the
Western Unions receipts tainted with
gambling or wrongdoing OF any kind
he would prefer to have them all
thrown into the street. Those who
know the history of Mr.. Gould, his
clean character. his splendid indus
try and the magnificent training he
had under the guidance of a most
affectionate father, will appreciate
that what he said TO Mr.. Jessup he
meant, and the action of the Western
Union Company has taken in abro-
eating all connection with the race
track poolrooms. regardless of the
heavy loss involved. proves that Mr..
Gould is a man of his word.-Leslies

Rsportea Taas Fight May Have to
Be Postponed

: report emenates from Hardin
Springs that Champ ion Jeffries is suf-
fering SO. severely from swollen
,knee that he Will. not be able to fight
Jack A1unroe next Friday night
No details of the injury have been
obtained, nor has the report been fully
confirmed.
The club managers are inclined to
doubt the rumor;, but some of the ex-
perts seem inclined to believe the
story may have some foundation
They point out that in his training
Jefries does all kinds of foolish stunts
and may have had bad fail that
sprained his knee while climbing a
tree or jumping a fence.
Advices from the training quarters
of Jeffries state that the condition of
the cham pion's injured knee is some
what improved, but he was not able
to leave his cottage yesterday. Prob
ably he may do some work to-day.
If he does not rapidly recover the use
of his leg he may be compelled TO
request a postponement of the fight,
hut he does not anticipate that this
will be necessary. When asked II ne
would consent to a change of date, the
hackers of Munroe said that they had
no desire to have their man fight a
cripple.
