SULLIVAN KNOCKED OUT.
Young Corbett Did the Business in
Eleventh Round.

Pavilion, San Francisco, March l.
Champion featherweight, Young Cor
betts" had no difficulty in retaining his
laurels last night, defeating Dave Sui
Ivan of New York in the eleventh round
of scheduled twenty round contest.
Corbett left the ring without q mark.
While on the other hand. Sullivan re-
ceived a terrific beating. Only the
merciful action of Referee Graney in
stopping the contest saved the New
Yorker from having his face beaten into
a pulp. Sullivan put up a game fight
and while outboxed, outfought and out
generated he gave the champion cause
for worry in one round.
Taking another feature out of the
fight, which was Sullivan's excessive
gameness, the contest was never in
doubt. Corbett held his man safe dur
ing all stages of the contest and it was
but a Quetion of time when Sullivan
would have to quit.
The fourth round nearly saw the end
of the contest and only by taking the
full count on four different occasions
did Sullivan manage to pull through.
The main feature of the fight was the
great amount of infghting. They hung
together for a minute at time, using
either hand that they could get free
Corbett proved himself very much SUI
perior in that style of fighting and he
seemed to punch harder from a short
distance.
After the disastrous fourth round Sui
livan's ability to come up in the sue
ceeding rounds was a surprise. He
seemed to have taken a new lease of
life, but it was only flash in the pan
and did not prove of any benefit to him
as he received more punishment without
any chance of ultimate success. The
contest on the whole was one sided.
Jimmy Britt was an interested specta-
tor at the ringside, and figuring on his
changes to beat the champion feather
weight. The general opinion Of the
sporting element which has seen both
men in action is that Corbett will be the
favorite in the betting and that Britt
whilst giving him a great fight will not
prove to be the winner.

a Literary Find.

Sir Edward Sullivan, Bart, writes in
the February Nineteenth Century of
a forgotten volume in Shakespeare's Ii
braary''-that is to say, of a book which
Shakespeare seems to have known and
used largely in his writing, however lit
tie the fact has been noted. 1t is one of
extreme rarity, and the opening part
Of its title runs as follows:
1.-THE Civi1e Conversation of NJ.
Steeuen Guazzo, written first in Italian
and move translated out of French by
George-Pettie. divided into four bookes. "
Sir Edward Sullivan remarks:
1.-The work was evidently much read
in England, as it went through two edf-
tons in the course of six years-the
second edition appearing in 1586-so
that, having regard to its character and
popularity, there is nothing surprising
in the assumption that Shakespeare in
some way became acquainted with its
contents
Certainly he would have found in it
a picture of italian manners, cere-
monies, customs, occupations, foibles,
dress and thought of the day"-a store
house of information for a play laid in
Italy. Sir Edward Sullivan gives quite
a long series Of paralelisms between
Shakespeare's writings and Pettie's
translation of the 'Civile Conversation.
The play of Hamlet" alone supplies
eight cases Of remarkable Similarity OF
thought and mode of expression" and
as Sir Edward remarks. I'VE are aware
with what freedom Shakespeare utilized
the current literary material of his
day."-London Chronicle.

San Francisco, Cal. March 1.-The con-
tinued interest in racing beats any previ-
Gus season. There is usually a, big de-
lection early in February, but horsemen
and bookmakers are sticking it out this
year. There were "a bookmakers in line
on Saturday, which is five or six more
than is usual this late in the season. The
game keeps up in wonderful style, and
the California Jockey club will clear at
least 100000 more than last year.
1t is expected the season will close on
May 8. More California stables will ship
east this year than ever before. The ma
jority will go to either Chicago or St.

THE UNIVERSITY MEET.
Kansas and Missouri Arranging for
the March Contest.

Kansas City, March &c. B. Davis,
representing the Missouri university
and y. S. G. Plank, representing Kan
sas, were in Kansas City Monday for
the purpose of arranging the final de-
tails of the track meet to be given in
Convention hall on the night of March
Is. The two representatives conferred
with Louis Shouse, manager of Conven-
ton hall, and plans were made for the
equipment necessary for the meet. The
track will be built of dirt and will be
banked on the corners and every effort
will be made to make it as fast as pos
sible. The track will be about a
twelfth of a mile SO that runners will
have to make twelve laps to the mile
In the center of the hall cinder path
will be made for the dash events. This
will be about fifty yards in length.
There will be a place set aside for the
weight throwers and also the jumpers.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Plank visited the
athletic mana gers of the Y. M. G. A.
and the Kansas City Athletic club and
invited them to prepare athletes to rep
resent the two organizations in the meet
for which there will be special events,
probably two. one of which will be a
mile run and the other a relay race. 1t
is also planned to have two events OF
the same character, open only to high
school athletes of Kansas City.
The special events will increase the
interest in the meet and help to stimu-
late local interest in track athletics.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Plank think that the
meet will be a great success. They as
serted that much interest was being
shown at the respective universities and
that each would be represented by a
creditable team

lola HAS CEMENT TO SELL.
Makes a Bid to Supply the Govern
ment for Phoenix Dam.

Washington. March 1.-The lola Port
land Cement company of lola, Kan,
was one of the bidders for supplying
the 100000 tons of cement which will be
used by the government in the con-
struction of the great irrigation dam
near Phoenix, Ariz. The Atlas Port
land Cement company of New York
offered to supply cement at Globe, 40
miles distant from the dam site from
it's mills at Hamilton, Mo-, at $3.35 in
wooden barrels or 1926 in duck bags. 1t
submitted no bid for delivery at the
dam site. The lowest bid was that Of
the Portland Cement company of Den
yer, which offered to supply the cement
at the dam site for 81 81 barrel, under
the provisions of the specifications. or
for S4.52 a barrel on considera ton of
the government paying for the cement
as 1T was delivered, owing to the long
haul from Globe, the nearest railroad
station, and the fact that after the ce-
ment reaches that point it must be
hauled over a rough mountainous road
for a distance of 40 miles to the site
of the dam.
Only a few bids were received and
the figures were much higher than the
price at which the cement is offered at
Globe. The bidders also took into con-
SideratiOn the unusually high bond OF
so per cent of the contract, and the fact
that 20 per cent was to be obtained on
each payment until after the contract
had been fulfilled to the satisfaction of
the department. 1t is alleged that this
20 per cent amounts to as much as the
actual cost of the cement itself.and the
contractor would have to wait until all
the cement was delivered and accepted
before receiving the money which he
would get for sis cement. The lola
company's bid was for $5.49 d barrel
delivered at the dam site. The Pacific
Portland company's bid was S5.75
barrel.
The government may not accept any
of these bids. The interior department
has made an investigation and discov-
cred that there are vast cement beds
right at the dam site and that it can
make the cement necessary to build
the dam at an approximate of 81 bar
rel. The first offer of the cement COM
panies was for SO a barrel, a price that
the government regarded as an extor-
ton. In the number of barrels of ce-
ment TO be used and the cost of the
material the contract for the dam near
Phoenix is larger than any ever let.
The cheapest bid offered for the first
cost of the cement to the government
would be approximately 1 million dol
| lars. The government can construct a
mill for 100000 and at a total cost
of less than " million make all the ce-
ment 1t will require and have its mill

Japan's Nursing Service.

1t is of the utmost Importance that In
the event of war between two great
powers English nurses should not ap-
pear to take sides. and we therefore
regret that the indiscreet course of the
American nurses who, anticipating an
outbreak Of hosttlities between japan
and Russia. offered their services to
the Japanese minister in the United
States, has been commended in Eng
land. Whatever may be the private
opinion of nurses.s it is not within the
scope of their professional duties to be
partisans of either Japan or Russia.

The City. Poor at Leavenworth
Cared for by Police.
Oeventy.twO Families Have Been
Given Some Aid.
GRAFTERs GET NO HELP
Each Family Receives From 81
to S7.5O in Groceries.
Soap is Also Sent Along as a
Hint to Clean Up.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 1.-Seven-
4y-two families have been furnished
food or coal or both by the police of the
city out of the charity funds since the
policemen's charity ball last December.
Twenty-one requests for aid have been
turned down.
The amount of aid given to each fam
fly is from 81 to $3.50. Some of the des-
titufe families received aid on two or
three occasions. The supplies given are
in all cases articles which are almost
essential for sustaining life. The fol-
lowing is a sample bill of goods sent to
a poor family, the name being withheld
from publication for an obvious reason:
Flour S1.15, bacon % cents, potatoes 80
cents, meal 10 cents, beans 25 cents,
coffee 25 cents sugar 20 cents, lard %
cents, soap Is cents and coal $780, To-
tai $505.
Articles which are given to almost
every family ares Soap, potatoes, flour
and coal. It is almost universal that
dirt goes with restitution. The police
send the soap along with the provisions
as a hint to clean up. The soap is rare
~ asked for.
Two stoves, both second hand, have
been given to the poor One stove cost
$3.50 and one was purchased for "a.
They were given to widows who are
making their living and that of their
children by taking in washing. In both
cases the stoves which they were using
were worn out and inadequate. One
woman was doing outside washing, the
family cooking, and heating the house
with a patched up, smoky, sheet iron
heating stove of small size.
The aid was given to families in which
there was no wage Garner, except a
woman. Nearly all the recipients were
widows with a large family of children.
The machinery put in motion in each
case is this: AZ case is reported by an
officer or a neighbor- An officer is sent
to the house and asks questions and
makes an inventory Of the provisions
He reports the facts to the chief and
other men at roll call IN the evening
and the question whether or not to fur
nish aid is voted on. In most cases
many Of the officers know the history OF
the family and vote accordingly.
Out Of the twenty-one cases in which
aid was refused by vote Of the police
six parties went to other sources o1
charity and obtained aid. In each case
there is evidence that the recipients
were grafters and able to work for then
living. The grafters have been pretty
nearly shut off lately by the police
sending notice of all their cases to the
other sources Of charity.
