Awarded Decision over johnson at
End of Twenty Rounds.
San Francisco, March 30.-Marvin
Hart vas awarded the decision over
Jack Johnson in q twenty-reund con-
test last night that went the limit, but
he came far from demonstrating that
he is qualified to meet Jim Jeffries.
Johnson's much-vaunted cleverness
did not count for much. While he was
able to hit Hart frequently, his blows
did not seem to damage the white man
from Kentucky. The sympathies Of
the large crowd were openly for Hart,
who was the short-ender in the bet
ting, and every lead he made at John
son, whether he landed or not, was
greeted with yells of joy. Referee
Greggains stated that he gave the de-
cision to Hart because all through the
fight Hart did all the forcing and lead
ing. According to Greggains, if Hart
had not pursued his tactics there
would have been no fight, as Johnson
merely contented himself with coun-
tering.

Attorney and Travelling Man Commit
Suicide in Cleveland Hotel.
Cleveland, Ohio, March 30.-Henry
l.. Woodward, an attorney of New
York city, and Charles Brousea a
travelling salesman for the National
Supply company of Toledo, committed
suicide in their rooms at the Hollen.
den hotel some time during Monday
night or yesterday. The bodies of both
men were found yesterday afternoon.
Further than a statement that the two
men were seen together in the hotel
lobby, nothing is known of a suicide
compact. The coroner's verdict in
each case gives dependency over do.
nestle and business troubles as the
cause of the suicides. Both men had
used a pistol and had sent a bullet
into their head in almost the same
spot, death in each case being instan.

NAMES DURING HIS SOUTH.
ERN TRIP.

Washington, March 81. - The first
practical step having in view the reor-
ganization cf The Panama canal com
mission was taken yesterday when, in
compliance with instructions from
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft
requested the members of the commits
sion to resign. This request was
promptly complied with by those mem
bers of the commission now in Wash
ington, and their designations will be
in the hands of the president today.
The purport of Secretary Taft's
letter requesting designations Of the
commissioners was sent to Maj. Gen.
George w. Davis, retired, of the army,
governor of the canal zone, and also
n of the members of the canal COM
mission. A prompt answer is expect
ed. AS indicated in the letter of Sec
rotary Taft, the designations are re-
quested in order that the president
May Have a Free Hand
in recognizing the commission. That
the president contemplated the reor.
g%aniZation of the commission has been
known for some time and he has been
in frequent consultation with Secre-
tary Taft as to his future policy in
choosing its personnel and directing
it's work. 1t was believed originally
that better results might be accom-
plished by the appointment of a small
er commission than that now existing,
but a recent opinion by Attorney Gen.
eral Moody held that under the law
the president was required to name
seven members in all. The appoint
ments will probably be announced by
the president during the progress of
his Southern trip.
The members of the present commits
sion, in addition to Gen. Davis, are
Rear Admiral John G. Walker of the
navy, retired, chairman; William
Barclay Parsons, William H. Burr,
Benjamin M. Harrod and G. Ewald
Grunsky.
