few of the indecorous stories he had
testified Mrs. Taggart was in the habit
of telling. Mrs. Taggart's eyes blazed
and while this testimony about indecor-
Gus stories was given she faced Captain
Taggart. He said "The day before |

Prize Fight.

San Francisco, August l2.--Gus Rub
lin. sometimes called the "Akron Giant"
put Texas Jim Mccormick away last night
in the eighteenth round with asolar plexus
punch OF such sopOriic strength that
Mccormick did not come from the land of
Nod for thirty minutes. 1t was the self
same blow that Ftzsimmons planted in
Corbetts midrif and won the champion
ship. Rubin worked the shift as if he
had been doing nothing else all his
life, and those at the ring said that
never had there been such hard
blow delivered in a ring battle on the
Pacific coast. Some of the enthusiasts
said the blow would have slowed Jeffries
away for all time. Gus Rubin promptly
claimed the worlds championship this
morning though the claim will probably
not be allowed until Ruhlin has met
Marvin Hart. A match between Rubin
and Hart will follow. The battle last
night at the Colma Club was the hottest
sort of sIugging match. A feature OF
the fight was the fact that John l.. Sui
Ivan was in McCormick's corner and
Billy Madden, manager of Rubin, looked
after the Akron man. Rubin said this
morning: 81 claim the championship.

SATURDAY EVENING. AUG. 70, 1906

AS ANTICIPATED Senator German OF
MARYLAND has made the direct statement
in answer to some stories recently in
circulation, that he has not determined
to retire at the end of his present Senate
term, that his health is not such as to
demand this action, and that, in fact, he
has given no consideration to the matter.
His present term does not expire until
March 4, 1909, and he will then be
seventy years old. He sees no reason for
haste in determining his course after that
time. Mr.. German is one of the ablest,
most useful and most influential members
of the Senate, is one Of the recognized
leaders on the democratic side OF that
body and it is very doubtful if his con-
stituents in Maryland would let him re-
tire from public life even if he felt dis
posed to do so. His retirement would
be keenly felt by the southern people.
