Britt Forces the Fighting.

Round Sixteen-They went to a
clinch. Britt forced the fighting, lead
ing out with either left or a straight
right. The bell rang with honors in
the Californian's favor.
Round Seventeen-The usual OPEN
ing clinch followed. In breaking
away from a clinch Britt shot his left
out rather low and there was some
kissing from the gallery. Later Britt
a crushing right caught White on the
jaw, nearly putting him out Britt
was over-anxious. He was cautioned
by the attendants to fight carefully.
Round Eighteen-Britt rushed but
failed to land. A left hook fer the
body was blocked and then both miss
ed lefts and rights to the face. Com
ing out from a clinch Britt swung a
left and right to the jaw and an in
slant later planted vicious left hook
to the body.
Police Jump into the Ring.
Round Nineteen-Britt lunged with
left and right for the body. Britt
rocked Whites head with full right
swing to the chin. Britt missed a
swing and a right swing partially
caught White on the face. One left
reached White on the face. One left
reached Whites chin lightly and then
White tried left and right twice for
the face but missed. They went to the
center of the ring and exchanged rights
and left swings as the bell rang. Britt
still lead.
Round Twenty-They shook hands
and Britt Immediately sailed In, miss
ing left for the face. The pace was
quickened, but the blows were easily
blocked. Both men fought at close
quarters, with White mostly on the
defensive. Britt suddenly uncorked a
vicious right on the body and in some
infighting failed to connect with a left
and right for the jaw. Vhe referee
had to separate the men from a clinch
and then Britt again put a right to
the body and brought his right and
left with fearful force to Whites
jaw, sending White to the floor very
groggy. When the Britisher rose,
Britt went at him like demon and
sent him clear across the ring with
right and left smashes to the face.
The round was nearly over at this
stage, but the police jumped into the
ring and stopped the uneven contest
and Britt was declared the winner
amid tremendous excitement.

GOV. UTTER AND TAXPAYERS.
Editor Providence News.
Governor Utter makes an interesting
recommendation in his first inaugural
message
Reference is here made to his plea for
an equitable" valuation OF personal
property for purposes of taxation.
or course Governor Utter knows per-
fcctly well as does every intelligent per-
son, that the equitable" valuation OF
personal property for purposes OF taxa
tiou Is beyond human power
We must therefore construc Governor
Ctters recommendation as a plea for the
abolition OF all taxes upon personal prop
erty
Every right-thinking person will also
unqualihedly endorse the following state
meut OF the governor:
Property which II protected by the
public and which depends for its value
very largely upon conditions resulting
from public expenditure should bear It's
proportional share OF the general ex-
pense.'
In other words the owners OF personal
property should contribute 10 the support
of government an exact equivalent OF the
benefits they receive from government,
and the value OF such benefits finds exact
expression I'm the rent OF the land occu-
pied 10y such owners
Governor Utter IL welcome addition to
the ranks OF the advocates OF equitable
taxation.
