There was merry group at the Riggs

Kid Egan of Washington ten-round draw

Murphy contracted to stop Farren in ten
rounds and then stop Egan in ten rounds

dom has there been so many good bouts
fought in one evening as Manager Pollock
supplied last night.
Murphy proved wonder. Farren's play
was to stay on the defensive, but Murphy
would not let him. In the middle of the
second round Murphy caught Farren
right on the eye and dazed the Baltimore
boy. who just had sense enough to get
away. Murphy followed, and with a we'll
directed left to the jaw sent his disabled
man down and out.
Kid Egan was then brought on, and the
crowd anticipated seeing him get his

THE CHADWICK TRIAL.
Defense Proves That Prisoner Had
Funds in Bank

Nine witnesses were examined in the
Chadwick trial at Cleveland, Ohio. yester-
day. and the defense established the fact
that the claim of the government that
Mrs. Chadwick had no money in the Ober-
lin bank at the time of drawing checks
which were certified by Spear and Beck
with was Incorrect, in two instances at
least.
1t was shown by the journal of the bank,
after The Stars report closed yesterday,
that on November 3, 1908, when Mrs. Chad
wick received a certified check for $4,000,
an entry crediting her with that amount
was made on the journal of the bank and
a deposit slip for $4,000 was made out in
her name. The entry and the slip were in
the handwriting of Cashier Spear.
Another entry of similar nature amount
ing to $1,000 was also found. These facts
were brought out on cross-exam1natio ton by
Judge Wing, counsei 1or MRS. Chadwick
TT Avery assistant cashier of the Oberlin
bank. Avery at first testified that Mrs.
Chadwick at no time had either money in
or credit at the bank.
1t is doubtful if Andrew Carnegie will
take the stand. District Attorney Sullivan
said yesterday:
Mr. Carnegie on the stand, and do not think
that he will be called upon to testify unless
his evidence should be needed in rebuttal
of something introduced by the defense"
Robert Lyons, receiver for the Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin, was the last
witness of the day. He said that the books
did not show that any account had ever
existed by which Mrs. Chadwick could
draw checks on the bank. All the accounts
of the bank balanced with the exception
of that with the First National Bank of
cleveland. where there was discrepancy
of about 1900 in favor of the Cleveland
institution

swing on Murphy's jaw. Murphy followed
with left. but Egan came back with a
right to the face. The excitement among
the spectators was intense.
While Murphy had the advantage in the
second round. he did no greater damage
than draw blood from Egan's mouth. In
the third round It looked as II the Wash
ingtonian was about to be finished. He was
knocked down three times and was only
saved by the gong from being counted out:
Bets were then made that Egan would
not last another round. Egan rounded to
nicely between the rounds fought
gamely and hard in the -four ut was
sent down for q count Of eigi.- near the
end.
From the fourth to the end Of the tenth
Egan was right In the game. Both men
battled for all they were worth.
There was much more class In Murphy'5
work than in Egan's. but the Washington
ian proved to be rugged fellow, and his
seemingly wild swings were dangerous at
all times. The staying to the limit by
Egan wrought the spectators up to high
pitch. and when the gong announced the
close of the contest Egan was hero. One
and all pronounced 1t one of the greatest
battles of the year.
AL McMurray was referee and Georges
Baird timer.
Murphy's seconds were Joe Handler Of
Philadelphia (who is to fight Herman Mil
Ter before the Nonpareil Club two weeks
hence). Jack Carter and Kid Gilbert
Egan's seconds were Kid Hemming, Jack
Carter and Buck Emmett.
Farren's seconds were Herman Miller,
Billy Whistler and Joe Dreamer.

TO BE ToWED TO CAVITE.
The Largest Floating Steel Dry Dock
Nearing Com nlefifinn

What will be the largest floating steel dry
dock in the world is now nearing compile
ton at the works of the Maryland Steel
Company, Baltimore. 1t is intended for
the United States naval station at Cavite
p. 1. The contract calls for the completion
OF the dock by July 20 next, but owing to
the advanced state of the work it will
probably be finished In May next. The
Navy Department will invite bids for tow
ing the huge structure from Baltimore to
the Philippines 1t has not been decided
whether the long voyage shall be made
through the Suez canal or by way of Cape
Horn.
The dock, which is designed to lift any
ship of the United States navy now afioat
is specified in the contract to lift e,ght
of 10000 tons; built by the Maryland
company, however il will have maximum
lifting capacity of 10000 tons, and is like
ly to accommodate any battle ship that can
be made. despite the rapid advance in the
weight of such floating batteries in the
past decade or two.
The next largest dry dock in the world
also built by the Maryland Steel Company,
is located at New Orleans and has lift
ing capacity OF II sc tons. The Navy De-
partment officials are now working out the

A. M. PALMER DEAD.
Remarkable Career of Veteran Theatr1-
cal Man-Lost Fortunes.

cal Man-Lost Fortunes.
Death came to Albert M. Palmer the vet
eran theatrical manager. at ]. Hood Wright
Hospital in New York, yesterday AFTER
noon as a result of the apoplectic stroke
he suffered on an elevated train Monday.
Beside him were his wife and son. They
had confidently expected that he would
recover.
The news caused universal sorrow on
Broadway, for Mr.. Palmer was one of the
grand old men of American theatricals. He
was almost the last link between the old
regime and the new.
Mr.. Palmer was born in Stonington,
Conn.,. on July q, 1888. His fathc~ was
clergyman and he was educated for the
ministry. He never practiced the profess
sion, however, for he became, soon after
graduation, librarian In the Mercantile LII
brary.
While at this vocation in 1872. Sheridan
Shook offered him the management of the
Union Square Theater, and he seized it
eagerly He changed the theater's policy
abruptly, and set out upon a period OF re-
markable prosperity. Agnes: his first
production, ran 1OO nights. Then followed
IA School for Scandal London Assur-
ance" Money and other great successes.
The Union Square Stock Company became
known around the world.
Then Mr.. Palmer branched out. He
leased the Madison Square Theater and
made" such actors as Richard. Mansfield
and Annie Russell. There such playwrights
as William Gillette, David Belasco and
Bronson Howard won their early successes.
Theaters were offered to him right and left.
His name became known from ocean to
ocean.
Finally the band of competition entered
it's wedge against him. Rival managers
lured his company away from him. One
after the other. Georgia Cayvan, Herbert
Kelley, W.. LIE Wayne, Mrs. Philips and
Mr. and Mrs. Wolcot deserted him. Mr..
Palmer's star, after remaining in the as
cendant for fifteen years, was setting.
At last, the deluge. One after another,
the Palmer theaters were swept away.
Commercial management" had begun to
have it's fling. 1t trampled Mr.. Palmer
under foot.
In the end he became the business man
ager of Mansfield, whom he had made d
star and, later, the house manager of
Charles Frohman, whose head was not
above the horizon when the Union Square
Theater was famous.
But Mr. Palmer, in adversely, was richer
than money could make him. A born OPP
timist, nothing could dishearten him. When
one fortune was swept away he cheer
fully set about to build up another. He was
a good fighter, too, as the late Augustin
Daily could ruefully testify. He loved the
drama as an art, for at heart, the man was
more an artist than a promoter
