The printing committee made no re-
port as Sheckler stated that they had
experienced deadlock on the queo-
tion of giving printing to the Leader.
Hubbard stated that he was not suf-
ficiently clear on the subject and was
unwilling to give the printing to the
Leader as he was unable to get desired
information from the paper. "The
whole thing is printers steal" said
Hubbard "and If the Leader can show
that it is Democratic we will have to
pay $4,000 for our printing next year
when we paid $1,000 last year. Ii
such is the case it is only the fault of
the legislatures. Mr.. HOLES was a

BILL cLARKE's. HOME BURNED.
Fire Destroys About 5000 Worth of
Players Property.


The residence Of Mr.. William ]. Clarke,
Forest avenue, near Charles street avenue,
Baltimore. was badly damaged by fire yes
terday afternoon. The engines experienced
great deal of trouble in answering the
call on account of the heavy grades, which
were covered with snow and ice. The horses
could hardly drag the apparatus to the
scene of the fire. District Chief Brannan
arrived ahead of his men and found the
building wrapped in flames. The building
was heated by steam. and large fire was
in the furnace before the blaze in the house
itself was discovered.
1t is supposed that the fire originated in
the cellar, which, together with the first
floor. was Quilted. The second floor is par
TALLY burned, while the third floor is prac-
tically uninjured, save for damage by
smoke.
Mr.. Clarke had a valuable collection OF
antique furniture which was highly priced.
Some of the furnishings belonged to the
late D. L. Thomas, who was Mrs. Clarke s
great-grandfather, and lived where Hillen
station now stands. Among other pieces of
antique furniture were a rosewood plano,
hand-carved settee, mahogany table and
many odd designs in chairs. Many hand
some Persian and Turkish rugs, several
steel engravings and oil paintings of rare
value were destroyed. The wardrobe on
the second floor burned on the side that
contained a valuable sealskin cape and Per-
sian lamb coat, while the other side that
was almost valueless, was left untouched.
Mr. Clarke was returning to his home
with his wife from the Union Protestant
1nf1rmary, where she had gone for an ope-
ration upon the throat, when informed of
the fire. The loss is expected to reach over
5000.

some time past on everting the eyelids OF
some immigrants that they presented Pc
culiar blanched appearance. At first 1t was
thought that this was due to the treatment
they might have received prior to embarka-
ton. Recently, however. several hours
after the first inspection was completed and
all suspicious cases had been set aside. IT
was decided to make a re-exAmination OF
the entire number. While this work was 60
ing on a number of additional cases of ira
choma were found. Upon following some
immigrants behind a convenient inclosure,
they were found to be busily engaged in tn
stilling a substance into their eyes, which
subsequent investigation showed to be adre-
nalin. Experiments with this drug proved
that if instilied into the eyes of mild cases
OF trachoma practically all evidence OF the
disease could be obliterated for about one

TO DIVERT IMMIGRATION.
Commissioner Sargent's Plan to Pop
ulate the South.

A conference was held yesterday after
noon at the bureau of immigra ton between
Frank P. Sargent, commissioner general,
and the following railroad men:
A. H. Hanson of the Illinois Central C.
l.. Stone of the Louisville and Nashville,
John M. Beal of St. Louis. w. L. Danley
of Nashville, w. H. Tayloe and NJ. v.
Richards of the Southern railway, w. ].
Craig of the Atlantic Coast Line, w. L.
Glessner of the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida, and J. w. White of the Seaboard Air
Line
The distribution of immigrants was the
subject discussed it being the desire of
both the bureau and the railroads of the
south to distribute the immigrants arriv-
ing at New Orleans so that the southern
states will benefit thereby and not lose val
liable workers, who may otherwise be d.
verted to other sections
The railroad men were assured by Com
missioner Sargent that they would receive
the cooperation of his bureau in this work
and that whatever facilities were at his
command would be given toward that end.
He said that consideration already Mad
been given to the problem Of increasing
the facilities there and that the question
was in fair way to be worked out salts
factorily. He also embraced the opportu-
nrty to outline his views regarding the dis
tribution of immigrants not only through
the south, but through other parts of the
United States. He proposes, if Congress
will give him the power, to establish at the
Ellis Island immigrant station in New
York harbor bureau where arriving i'm
migrants may obtain authentic information
regarding the possibilities of employment
in all parts of the country.
The commissioner informed his callers
that he hoped, by the adoption Of this plan.
to break up. to some extent at least. the
alien colonies now forming in New York
and in other large cities, particularly cities
in the east
While no definite conclusions were reached
at the conference, the railroad men ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the sugees-
tons of Commissioner Sargent and cor
daily approved of his PLAN

for the feather-weight championship of
England.
The bout, scheduled for fifteen rounds,
went the limit and the referee awarded the
decision to Jordan.
Jordan was particularly clever and it
was his battle on points. Each tried in
the earlier rounds for a knockout. There
was plenty of pretty boxing in the later
rounds. The boys weighed in at 124

Swede Swanson Too Much for the tsLit-

night at the New Polo Athletic Association,
New York, by defeating Harvey Parker.

an hour and OhalG
1 The victor gained fall by means of a
half Nelson and further hold in twenty
three minutes and tMenty-one seconds. De-
spite Parkers aggressive methods for the
whole Of the remaining sixty-six minutes
and thirty-nine seconds, he was unable to
even up matters in the shape of a fall, and
the referee awarded Swanson the verdict.
During the first ten minutes Of the match
Swanson took the initiative and forced
matters. He failed to make any apparent
impression on the Demon who then took
up the work. In turn he was unable to find
a satisfactory hold on the Swede, who con-
tented himself with defensive tactics en-
tirely untfl the expiration of twenty min
utes. when he got neck lock, and assumed
aggressive tactics.
Swanson worked from one hold to an
other to no purpose until he secured a half
Nelson, by which he endeavored to pin his
opponent. Failing in this he gained In ad-
dition q further hold WHICH did the trick
and obtained for him the fall in twenty
three minutes and twenty-one seconds.
When the men again took to the mat
Parker began the work and labored over
his man continuously for more than an
hour unsuccessfully. In the interim he
brought all mis- far-famed trough house"
tactics into play in his efforts to worry
the Swede. who squatted on all fours as i'm
movable as a sphinx.
Content with the earlier fall gained
Swanson acted on the defensive through
out. and never showed any disposition to
do his share of the, work, ard made no at
tempt at offensive work, merely breaking
any hold the hitherto unbeatable Parker
obtained.
Both men stripped in splendid shape, with
swanson marvel in physique for 145-

recovered from the effects of his match in
Worcester, Mass, last Friday night when
he required two hours for a victory over
