THE PUGlLlSTS.
THE LION
 AND POODLE
Bob Fitzsmmons and His
 Pets Refused Hotel Room Terry ncCovern's Cast of Fighters-Other News.

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb 1S.-Bob Fitzsimmons and his wife had hard tiIe finding place to sleep last night. Pecause the fighter demanded accom- m0datjolis for his lion and poodle dog, they were turned away from every hotel ill 1erre Haute. Late last night he got an congressman to take care of tue livestock, and he and his wife went to Il ho1el minus their pets.
 At the first hotel they entered Bob put his 13-months-Old lion on the desk while he registered. Writing his name is a matter of moment with the pugil- ist, and while he was accomplishing it the lion reached over for the clerk gig lamp and tore his shirt front out. Mrs Fitzsimmons insisted upon letting her poodle catch drops from the spout of the water cooler with his palpitating tongue and the proprietor decided that he had no rooms for the FitZsimmOns family. -
 Fitz picked up his lion, Mrs Fitz picked up her poodle, and away they drove to the next hotel. They had no chance to register. The proprietor said that Mrs Fitzsimmons would have to keep her dog in the baggage room and that he wouldn't have the lion in the house under any circumstances.
 But 'e's only 13 months old,'' pro- tested the bruiser-Thespian.
 He's too old for me-" replied the landlord. This is no zoo." ..,
 They made the rounds until there was nothing left but the Salvation Army lodging house. Mrs Fitzsimmons declined to go there and repaired with Fitz, the lion and the poodle to the theater, where they ate cold lunch.
 "'E's perfectly 'armless,' said Fitz referring to the lion. i've lad i'm in the best 'otels in the country. 'E wouldn't 'arm canary bird. Wot kind of a town is this, anyhow ....
 Late in the afternoon the property man of the show suggested taking the lion to a livery stable until time comes to move to the next stand. Fitz took the lion to the livery stable. As he entered the front door all the horses tried to go out the back door.
 "Take that lion out of ,fre" yelled the livery stable man, 'the horses smell him."
 How can they?" retorted Fitzsim' mons, q gave him bawth last night"

HITS AT STANDARD
Governor Hoch's Antitrust Message to Kansas House.
ITO MAKE MONOPOLY BE DECENT"
Bills Passed For Erection of state
 Oil Refinery and Making Pipe Lines Common Carriers

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. Ex-Governor Hoch has signed the bill passed by the house appropYiating $200,0OO for the erection and maintenance of state oil refinery with capacity of 2,O0O bar rels day. The signing of this measure will make it possible for Kansas to be- gin in earnest the fight started in this state recently against the Standard Oil company.
 In signing the bill Governor Hoch sent long message to the legislature reviewing the fight which has ended in the present legislation and giving his reasons for signing the refinery bill.
 ''No greater question: said the gov ernor, ''confronts the American people than the control of great aggregations of capital. We are all groping in the dark, but we will get out into the light after awhile. This Kansas contribu- tion to the solving of this great prob lem may or may not be wise one, but it is at least an honest and courageous one."
 Governor Hoch said that the present legislation was not an attempt to drive the Standard Oil company from the state nor to deprive it of its rights. Tt is not an attempt to establish mo- nopoly, but an attempt to compel a monopoly already existing to be de- cent" He said that when normal con ditions were again restored the state would be glad to withdraw from the business of refining oil and leave it in the hands of private competitors, ''where it legitimately belongs" Tt is due to this state to say" says Governor Hoch, that this movement has not been conceived. as many sup pose and some charge, in the spirit of Socialism,"
 The house without dissenting vote has passed the bill I.Nking oil pipe lines common carriers. This is the sec ond of the series of bills directed against the Standard Oil company. It has already passed the senate and will. it is said, be signed by the governor. Without this bill the refinery plan could not have been carried out sue cessfully owing to the lack of pipe lines owned by the state. Now, however, the state oil can be piped through the Standard oil company's lines.

 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1S.-Ser$ous accidents marred the pleasure of the racegoers at the Crescent City Jockey clubs track here.

ed the plan of A. Crozier of Delaware,
for a fraternal congress to be held in
New York city for the purpose of
bringing to the attention of the pub
lie the advantage of fraternal insur-

concurred in. Under the modified
law, bookkeepers, mechanics and 9th
ers employed in distilleries who do not
in any way handle liquor and propri-
etors of department stores who sell
liquor in unbroken packages are not
debarred from membership. The law
remains as heretofore relating to bar

BOYCOTT BOTHERS
! HIGH OFFICIALS
PRINCIPAL TOPIC DISCUSSED
BY THE CABINET.
FAIR TREATMENT WANTED
The President Determined the Chinese
Shall Have Fair Treatment When
They Apply for Admission to this
Country at Any Port.

WashingtOn.-Chinese immigration
TO this country and the execution of
the Chinese exclusion laws constituted
the principal topic Of discussion at
last meeting of the cabinet.
1t was the last meeting of the cabi-
net to be held before President Roose-
welt shall leave Washington for the
summer. As a result many depart
mental matters which have been pend
ing have been taken up and of some
matters final disposition was made.
The situation which has arisen out
of the enforcement Of the Chinese ex-
clusiOn law has been regarded both
by the President and members of his
cabinet as serious. As Secretary Hay
puts it, there seems to be more trou-
BILE over the administration of the law
than in the law itself. In fact, he ex-
pressed the belief that too much time
was spent in developing evidence
against Chinese who presumably were
entitled to enter the country. The
president made it clear at the meeting
that he was determined the Chinese
should have fair treatment under the
law whenever they applied for admis-
sion to this country at any port. He
believed this was not only in the inter-
est Of American manufacturers and
business men, but no more than just
to the Chinese.
While no definite decision was
reached, it was the generally express
ed opinion that amicable diplomatic
and trade relations which this eoun-
try had always maintained with Chi
ma should he continued if possible. To
this end Secretary Hay will take ae-
tion in behalf of this country. The
report that the commercial guilds of
China have entered into a hard and
fast agreement to boycott American
made goods has disturbing effect on
American producers interested in the
Chinese trade. 1t will be the effort
of this government TO endeavor to cor
rect any misapprehension that MAJ
exist in China as to the too harsh en-
forcement of the Chinese exclusion
law.
Secretary Metcalf Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor, who
has direct supervision Of the Immi-
grafton Bureau, does not believe that
unnecessary harshness is used in the
enforcement of the law. He pointed
out at the cabinet meeting that the
United States trade with China in
cotton goods alone for the ten months
Of the present fiscal year had aggre-
gated $2l 100000, as against $3,OOO,-
600 for the previous fiscal year. He
hoped this trade would not be disturb
ed through any misunderstanding, and
expressed the belief that it would con-
tinue to increase. This was the last
meeting probably which Secretary
Morton will attend, as he expects for
mally to sever his connection with the
administration on the last day of the
month.
