NO REST FOR NELSON.
Manager Murphy Has Work Ahead for
the Little Dane.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. There Is no
rest in sight for Battling Nelson. Man
ager Murphy has mapped out strenuous
campaign for the Great Dane and un-
til some aspiring boxer stops his mad
rush toward Championshipville he will be
on the go. Britt comes first and then
anyone in sight.
Nelson is around receiving congratula-
tions without a mark to even show that
ne had engaged in a fight with the hard
even complain of soreness and remarked
a half dozen times that he wished that
his fight with Britt was scheduled for to-
night. He says that COrbett can hit hard
enough, but he still contends that Herrera
is the hardest puncher of the two. He
nous right over the spot half dozen times
he was never in danger and that he told
his manager after the third round that he
would bring the money before the twelfth
round.
While Nelson and Britt have never
signed articles, they will undoubtedly get
together this week and arrange the de-
tails of the match. 1t is not thought that
there will be any serious hitch Nelson
can fight strong at 12S pounds, but he is
willing to concede a few pounds in order
to get crack at the Native Son. Britt
wants, to do battle at 13S pounds, but it is
thought that he will be willing to take a
few ounces off if Nelson objects. AS to
the division of the purse that's up to
Britt. Nelson would just soon fight
winner-take-aH any other way. He
fought COrbett on a basis of rs per cent
to the winner and bet all he could lay his
hands on that he would defeat the Den
verite. When Britt gets ready to do busi-
ness he will find that Nelson will allow
him to divide the purse to suit himself.

FOURTH MAN DEAD.
Sequel to Tuesdays Tragedy at AIva-
RADIO, Texas.

Fort Worth. Tex, Dec. 1.-The
sequel to the tragedy that cost the
lives of Steve Mckinney, his father
and a hired man on their farm near
Alvarado Tuesday came today. J. M.
Williams, the triple murderer, barri-
caded himself in his home and defied
the officers. He sent word to his
daughter, the widowed bride of the
man he had murdered. that if she
did not come to him he would kill
her. In fear and trembling she went
to the house. There she found her
father armed with a rifle and in a
frenzy of rage. The officers were
afraid to fire into the house for fear
of killing some member of Williams
family, whom he held prisoners there
to shield him.
All night the officers watched from
the Mckinney home, where lay the
bodies of the men killed by Williams.
Finally the murderer seated himself
by a window, his rifle across his lap.
He became drowsy, his head dropped
on his breast and he slept. Assuring g
herself that her father was asleep, the
widowed bride stole from the house
and fed to the home where her hus-
bands body lay. officers opened fire
on the house and Williams returned
it. Later the murderer was found
lying dead on the floor with a bullet
through his brain.

GIRLS ABANDON HATS.
Pupils of Boarding School Follow In
structor's Light Dress Decree Also.

Greenwich, Conn.,, Dec. If Miss
Edith Wallis, physical instructor at
Rosemary hall, a boarding school for
young women in this city, could have
her way women would be hatless the
year around. The young women who
follow Miss Wallis instruction have
cast aside their millinery and wear a
loose sweater and a walking skirt
Miss Wallis advocates that the cos
tunes worn by women be reduced to a
graceful and decorous maximum. 1t is
her belief that @'bundling up is re-
sponsible for more colds than anything
else. Even when the mercury movers
low she would have women wear light
clothing.
First the hat is abolished and the
student goes about bareheaded. Then
the clothing is slowly reduced until only
light garments are worn. This treat
ment will result, Miss Wallis claims, in
beautifying the hair and in benefiting
the health.
At the school, there is a large gym
nasium equipped with every known ap
Dliance for exercise and the walls are
embIazoned with records and trophies.
The young women take with enthusi
asm to the ''no-hat-light-clothe plan
and it is being followed to the letter by
most of them despite the recent cold
snap.

RUSSIA NOT READY.
Willing to Talk Peace When the War
Is Ended.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Russia is un-
willing to join the powers in a second
peace conference at The Hague until
her war with Japan is ended.
The Russian reply to Secretary
Hays circular note to the powers of
October 23, inviting them in the name
of the president to reassemble in con-
ference at The Hague "to complete
the postponed work of the first con-
ference" was delivered verbally to
Secretary Hay by Count CaSSini, the
Russian ambassador. The ambassador
was requested by his government to
say that Russia heartily accepted in
principle the invitation to a second
conference at The Hague and readily
associated itself to the American gov
ernment to complete the mission of
the first assembly convened under the
leadership of the Russian emperor.
The ambassador was further requested
to say that while the Russian govern
ment very sincerely cherished these
views, it did not consider the moment
opportune for the convening of such
a conference, and it therefore must
withhold its formal acceptance of the
invitation until the war in the far east
was at an end.
ST. Petersburg, Dec. There is
universal commendation of the
promptness with which Russia accept
ed the American arbitration treaty
proposal, but beyond expressions of
satisfaction at the fact that 1t will
bind the two countries closer together,
the papers indulged in little comment
The only exception is the Bourse Ga
zette, which declares the understand
ing will dispeI the falsehoods regard
ing American Russian relations. Rus
sia's victory in the far east, the paper
contends, is just as necessary for the
United States as for Russia's ally,
France, and her friend, Germany.
Mutual ties between France, the
United States and Russia, argues the
Bourse Gazette, will tend to isolate
Great Britain the real breeder of in
ternational strife, whose jingo ambi
tions, the paper declares, are the real
menace to the peace of the world.

London, Dec. Queen Alexandra
is celebrating her sixtieth birthday to-
day at Sandringham. Flags are fly
ing everywhere, the church bells are
pealing, and the usual salutes were
fired at the naval and military stations
at home and in the colonies. The
festivities at Sandringham were of a
simple character, the main feature be-
ing the entertainment of the school
children of the estate, at which the
queen and her guests personally at

The queen was the recipient of an
immense variety of presents, mostly
curious and artistic knicknacks. Tele-

and public bodies to which the queen
always responds personally, reached
