DID La BlAMCE SUICIDE?
BODY OF MAN SUPPOSED TO Be
THE MARINE FOUND
NEAR AlVlSO.
Description Taiiies With That of la
e'ance Who Once Whipped
Jack Dempsey.

The body of a man found in a slough
near Alviso, California, few days ago.
is believed to be that of George La
Blanche, the once noted pugilist, al
though the coroners investigation
failed to disclose the mans identity
to a certainty. AS there We're no
marks of violence on the body it was
evidently a case of accident or suicide.
with the preponderance Of evidence in
favor of the latter superstition.
The victim was about feet inches
in height, weighed about $50 pounds,
and was probably As years of age. He
was well developed physically. He had
gray hair and moustache, and a weeks
growth Of beard. He wore black suit
that was in fair condition, but there
was nothing in the pockets to assist in
the identification. The index finger of
the left hand was crooked at the first
joint. and there was scar on the
bridge of the nose.
The body showed indications of hav-
ing been in the water for several days,
but no marks of violence were found.
1t was stated at the inquest, that the
man claimed to be La Blanche the
pugilist. He told the railway agent
that he was a deserter from the navy
and wanted to give himself up. He
told others that he was accused of be-
ing a deserter and said he was going
to drown himself.
The description given above tallies
with that of George La Blanche the
Marine" who was a noted pugilist
some years ago. La Blanche came into
prominence when he defeated Cham
pion Jack" Dempsey in San Francisco
with the famous pivot blow" He
afterwards travelled with John l.. Sui
livan but of late years he has not been
prominent. He was we'll known south
of Market street in San Francisco.

That Senator Foster is going to de-
vote the remainder Of his term to get
ting even with the men who did not
rally to his support during the sena-
torial fight may be judged from the
fact that today he preferred charges

Hopkins. United States marshal for

promised to have the case investigated,
but Senator Foster intends to take up
the matter with Attorney General
Moody, SO as to get quick action.

Mr.. Hopkins was one Of the princi
pal supporters Of Charles Sweeny for
United States senator. 1t is under
stood that Senator Foster did not OBJ

did to the alleged poor taste displayed
by Mr.. Hopkins in picking candidate.

Ankeny feels kindly disposed toward
the marshal, Mr.. Hopkins is not wor-
rying a bit about the action of Sena-
tor Foster. He likes to laugh. and he
thinks this is good time to indulge
himself.
Still another row has broken out
between Senators Foster and Ankeny.
Senator Foster has had E. P Kings
bury named as surveyor general to
succeed himself, Senator Ankeny
promptly charges bad faith. He says:
Charges Bad Faith.
The understanding between Senator
Foster and myself was that neither
was to make any recommendation I'M
til he had notified the other. Senator
Foster did not live up to this agree
ment. 1 have not yet determined
whether or not I will oppose the con-
firmation of Mr.. Kingsbury.''
Senator Ankeny himself had a cam
didate for surveyor general in the per-
son of j. B. Welty formerly state SEN
atOr from Lewis county, and it is said
that while SENATOR Foster was seek
ing reelection he gave Ankeny's peo-
pie to understand that he would favor
Mr. Welty for the place. But maybe

voted for Piles instead of Foster hal
something to do with Senator Fosters
changing his mind.
From the fact that the only way the
citizens of this state can tell they are
represented in the United States SEN
ate is by watching the roll call, this
fight between the senator's for a dis
tribution Of the patronage is amusing.
