Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco,
Dec. 21.-Robert Fitzsimmons. formerly
heavyweight champion of the world,
was defeated here last night by Jack
O'Brien in the thirteenth round of their
fight. At the end of that round Fitz' $
condition was such that Referee Graney
gave O'Brien the fight.
When FitzsimmOns and O'Brien en-
tered the ring O'Brien was favorite
in the betting at 10 to g. The shifting
of odds forcing the Philadelphia into
favOritism came rather suddenly. Up
to a late hour in the afternoon the
COrnishman was a pronounced first
choice, due to many large wagers which
had been placed on him earlier in the
week O'Brien's supporters then ma
terialized in unexpected numbers and at
8 o'clock in the afternoon the odds were
about even. Large blocks of O'Brien
money continued to roll into the pool
sellers boxes and the odds were quickly
cut from 10 to in O'Brien's favor.
The men had agreed to fight at catch
weights. O'Brien gave out his weight
as 1875 pounds while Fitz is said to have
tipped the beam at 1853 pounds.
Mechanics pavilion held one of the
greatest crowds in its history. The gal
leries bulged with a congested mass of
humanity and hundreds were denied ad-
mission to the upper part of the house.
On the main floor every seat was occu-

O'Brien threw off his robe and dis
closed green fighting truks. Both
fighters wore belts of red, white and

pure food law of the state. Two years
ago the commissioner was given an ap-
preparation of $500 for two years
with which he has worked wonders SO
far as the sale of pure foods in the
state is concerned. He has practical
ly forced every wholesaler to guaran-
tee that all of the goods which he sells
to the retailer in the state are in ac
cordance with the law. The result
has been that there are few articles
now sold in the state that will not
bear the test of Commissioner Ladd.

London, Jan. Premier Balfour,
speaking at a BANQUET given in his
honor at Glasgow, declared that the
two great problems with which the
army had to deal were the defense of
.Afganistan and rearInament, which in
volyed a cost as much as any conti-
mental nation was able to bear.
Continuing, Mr. Balfour said the
fault with the empire was that It was
not too small, but that it was too
great and powerful and at the same
time underdeyeIope 81 az
On this point Mr.. Baifour instanced
the United States as in the earlier days
being on the verge of perishing BY
that disease, for then state rights
seemed on the point Of absorbing and

DRUGGIST AND DOCTOR

Additional Testimony in the Defense
Of DR.. Koch Today--Druggists Dis
cussed Stryclinine and Burns From
Alcohol.

St. Paul, Jan. IA Dispatch special
from New Ulm says w. G. Alwyn, a
local druggist, testified in the Koch trial
that strychnine tablets were not used
to salt bottle bromo caffeine as it would
take 700 to fill a bottle with a 10 per
cent mixture of strychnine. He thought
powdered strychnine was used. He was
asked about burning hands while alco-
hol applied on them. He said he thought
alcohol would ignite after a minutes
time but said he hadn't experimental
along that line.
DR.. Fritche testified that as long as
there was alcohol on hands it would ig-
mite and cause severe burns.

Cancer Is a Very Parasitic Disease

| The occurrence which led to the dis
covery of the serum in question was
the spontaneous recovery Of several
mice which had been inoeulated
Although cancer generally is consid-
cred incurable, as these observers
point out, there are cases OF spon-
taneous cure Of cancer in man report
Ted in literature.
The emphasis Of the possibility Of
lthe animal overcoming the cancer led
the eriri1enters TO investigate the.
conditions under which this took place
and, having for some time in mind the
possibility of the serum treatment for
cancer they conducted a series Of ex-
lperifients. ss
These have proved beyond question
! that the blood OF mice which have re-
covered from cancer possesses an an
titoxic quality, and, when injected into;
mice suffering with cancer, stops the
growth.
| The field which is opened by these
primary experiments apparently is a
difficult one, but they should prove in
principle that not only is cancer cur
able. but extend the hope that some
means may be found to develop a SIM
tilar immune serum which may be ap-3
piled to human beings
/ The changes which are brought
labout in the tulnors in the mice are
similar to those which already have
been found in man. The fact that
cancer patients occasionally have.

Denver, Jan. I4.-The National Live
Stock Association was rent in twain
by the adoption of new constitu-
tion which admitted the packers to
membership and provides for an open
door through which the railways may
at any time become factors in the con-
troll Of the organization The cattle
men, horse and swine growers. togeth-
er with representatives Of some of the
affiliated industries, refused to agree
to the new constitution, and withdrew
when they considered its adoption
was probable and this afternoon Ior1il-

ton, whose aim it will be to WELD a
WELD a dominant influence in tine in
terests Of cattle growers. Roughly
speaking, the sheep growers, commits
sion men and stock yards interests re-
mained with the National Live Stock
Association and the actual growers OF
all other animals for the market have
gone with the new association.
The cattiemen had from the first
strongly opposed the admission into
their organization of the packers and
particularly of the railroads. They
claimed that these two influences
would ultimately dominate the cattle
growing industry Of the country to
the detrinlent Of the individual grower
and they refused to remain in an or
gafization which included their rep
resentatives among the members oi
the central body.
The detection in the ranks of the
association came after a long session
in which the arguments were at times
torrid and where the parliamentary
tangles were so frequent and soScofn-
plex that it was impossible to follow

cal laboratory Of the University OF
Buffalo, under the patronage Of the
state Of New York, are preparing to
report to the profession facts which
indicate that they are nearing the So
luton of a great problem.
@ The Buffalo laboratory has proven
cancer to be a parasitic disease, ifl-
fectious in type; that it has been trans
planted and reproduced in perfectly
healthy animals; that the reproduction
has been TRUE cancer as it exists in the
human, and that the disease in animals
has been cured by the administration
.of serum prepared in the Buffalo
laboratory. MS

tions of the cause OF cancer and its abb
