follows: "It makes me tired tohear
these fighters and their managers
talking about the color line.
There's no such thing in pugilism..
A fighters fighter, no matter
what is the shade of his hide.
There's no sentiment in the business
It's been my experience, when |
hear boxer say he won't fight So
and-so because he's niger that
the white man is afraid the coon
will give him beating"

TO MAKE FIGHT ON STUART

II * probable that there will be- a
strong fight made against the cOnhrma-
ton by the Senate of the appointment
of Capt. Jeb Stuart to the position oi
collector OF customs of Newport News.
He was confirmed as marshal Of the
Eastern District OF Virginia to succeed
Marshal Morgan Treat, but his transfer
to the position OF Newport News collect
or was made too late 10 admit OF action
by the Senate last spring.
Opposition To the confirmation oi
Captain Stuart will be based upon his
recent action in promoting certain in
spectors under him who were Republi-
cans and dismissiug others who were
Democrats. 1t was alleged against him
that the iavoritism shown the inspectors
who were promoted We're due To their
politics, and that the inspectors who
were dismissed from the service were
fired" The Civil Service Commission
investigated these charges, and the find
ings of the commission reported to the
President. The result was "A good, hard
call down for the collector from Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself.
