DISPOSITION OF FT. GRANT
Information Of More Definite Char
 acter IS Received.

A great deal has been said in the
 last year or so concerning the fina
 disposition of Fort Grant one of the
 old time military reservations of the territory. It has been a matter of con- mon knowledge that the reservation was to be abandoned temporarily at least as a military post, and most of the troops have been withdrawn. Var ious protests have been made in cer- tain quarters and various suggestions offered by others interested in one way or another.
 The reservation consists of 43,0OO acres of land and the government has spent at one time or another, perhaps a half million dollars in buildings and improvements. One of the reasons for abandonment of the post has been the poor supply of good water and various methods have been suggested for bet teTing this supply. Sometime ago Gov ernor Kibbey conceived the idea that the government might be induced 10 donate the reservation and it's improve ments to the territory which could utilize it to good advantage in some capacity for the public good, as for in- stance. a branch insane asylum. With this idea in mind the governor wrote the secretary of the interior and ask ed his cooperation in trying to get this favor from the government.
 Governor Kibbey has received a re- ply to his letter, in which the secre- tary says the government has not yet decided to dispose of the reservation though it will no longer be used as a regular military post. There is in mind the establishing of a field artillery post in its stead and should the government engineers be successful in developing a good water supply later on, the regu- lar military post may be reestablished

FIRE CHIEFS FAVOR
A TWELVE-HOUR DAY
Sentiment Among the Rank and File
OF the Department Also Indorses
Senator WoIfe's Bill.

The general sentiment Of the men,
bers of the rank and file of the Fire
Department is In favor of the change
in the working time of the flremen
proposed by Senator Edward I. Wolfe
at Sacramento. The bill introduced by
Senator Wolfe provides that the men
of the department be divided into two
shifts Of twelve hours each, instead of
spending their entire time at the en-
gine-houses, as Is now the rule.
Chief Sullivan called meeting sew
eral days ago of the battalion chiefs to
discuss the proposed legislation. From
the Investigations made by them they
found that the twelve-hour day was
unanimously indorsed. Subsequently
Chief Sullivan forwarded all the data
in his possession for the information
of Senator Wolfe.
Battalion Chief Shaughnessy said
that the chiefs had always favored
such legislation and thought the ef-
ficiency of the department would be
improved by allowing the men home
life. The legislation. he added. would
call for few extra men for the night
shift, but the hours proposed would
permit more men to be on duty in each
epgine-house during the watches.
The Fire Commissioners held a reg

Commissioner Wreden on account of
sickness, no election of a president
took place.

Hoseman ]. ]. Deeney for failure to re-
port for duty when ordered to do so by
Battalion Chief Fernandez. Salary was
allowed Captain William Schultz,
who, while acting as battalion chief,
was thrown from a buggy several
months ago and severely injured.

Jimmy BRITT
AS A LITICANT
Sues Amusement Company
for Damages for Using
Name Without Permission

James Edward Britt, pugilist, has
placed a price upon his reputation as
vaudevillian. It seems an insignifi-
cant price. too, considering the draw
ing capacity of James Edward as
mitt-wtelder In engagements requiring
no other scenery than padded posts. two
strands Of rope and some one to hit.
James does not refer to the prize ring
dope book for proof of his value as a
stellar theatrical attraction. He mere
ly says his services behind the foot
lights are in great demand, and he can
not afford to deceive the dear public
by permitting himself to be advertised
as an interlocutor in free minstrel
show.
On this account James Edward Britt.
by his attorneys, Louis Ferrari and
John ]. Greely, late last evening filed
suit for $4,000 damages and an in
junction against the Belvedere Music
Hall Company. The basis of the action
is found in red and black poster an
nouncing minstrel show at the Bel
vedere. Near the bottom of the sheet
is a picture of Britt with the announce
ment that for one night he will appear
as interlocutor. Perhaps Jimmy draws
the color line on minstrelsy, or maybe
he will not appear where he is not a
head-liner. AT any rate, he alleges,
the posters nave De6n nung IN saloons
and other resorts without his consent,
and with the preconceived intent to de-
fraud him Of the benefits and profits
that would come from the demand for
his services. He says that for three
years he has been giving boxing exhi-
billions in theaters and has established a
reputation for merit. His services have
been In demand, and there have been
some large profits. The hanging Of the
Belvedere posters, says the pugnacious
plaintiff, Is intended to deceive the
community at large, and he asks the
court for an order that each and all of
the posters be torn down and DESTROYED
and the music hall company restrained
from further advertising him as one
Of its attractions.
After the complaint was filed Britt's
attorneys went at once to the home of
Judge Seawell for temporary re-
straining order.

HEATHER USES
FAMOUS PUNCH
All Wing Reyives La Blanche
Back Swing and Puts Man
uel Torres Down and Out
HOUSE. IN AN UPR0AR
Carroll Beats Sullivan and
Christie Loses to. How
ard in a Fierce Battle

The famous old time La Blanche
swing or pivot blow was revived last
night by the only heather champion of
the ring, All Wing. The Celestial was
getting his from the little negro, Man
that pivot wallop in the second round
and the black lad rested heavily on the
mat.
It was the first time many of the
spectators had seen the once noted
punch that has been barred for years.
To think the heather champ should
revive the wallop made many of the
old-timers a bit jealous. The house
presented an asylum-like aspect when
the Mongolian put his man to the floor.
Men got up in the seats and yelled for
q fare-ye-well.
Wing got into the game when the bell
changed and kept after his man. The
latter was there with straight left
and was making a fool of the little
Chink when he brought the haymakeI
over. It landed Just right. Wing was
as much surprised as the spectators
and did not recover his self-possession
till after he got through challenging
any amateur in the world at lis
pounds
The main event WAS not half as in
teresting. Joe Carroll was declared the
winner against Tom Sullivan. though
no one seemed to care much either
way. The men fought suspiciously and
the fans thought they were framing
one on them. Sullivan seemed to be
leading for the first two rounds, for
Carroll fought in dopey style, letting
his opponent get inside his guard and
landing straight lefts TO the face.
Carroll woke UP bit during the last
two periods and the way he finished
got him the coin. Sullivan slowed up
noticeably and several times almost
refused to fight. Carroll did not use
his famous left to advantage, doing a
lot Of mixing instead.
Kid Christie and Brick Howard put
up the best fight of the night. Howard
made a hit from the start when he
waded into his vicious opponent and
kept after him. Both men were grog-
gy several times and 1t was anybody's
fight till the last round, when Howard
waded in and won. Charlie Dunn was
awarded a decision over George San
franson he did not deserve. The latter
showed lot Of class over Dunn and
was winning all the way. Dunn forced
the going in the last round and was
given the verdict to the tune of the
Kisses of those present.
Mike Synfy made Jimmy Kelly quit
in two rounds with couple of blows
to the stomach. Harry Riley's showing
against Billy Stanton disappointed the
crowd. He barely won and came near
being beaten. Denny OConnell won a
close decision over Jim Bradley in the
curtain raiser

Graduate Coaches for stanford.

{. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 20.
When the intercollegiate agreement
committee. which is the alumni board
which arranges the athletic agree
ments between Stanford and Califor-
MIA, meets next week in San Francis
co to discuss proposed changes in the
athletic agreement Stanford will not
only insist that the clause which now
provides for graduate football coaches
be renewed, but that the rule be ex-
tended to baseball as well. 1t is ex-
pected California will oppose this
plan and will move that the clause
which provides for the system of
graduate coaching be stricken out
However, IL Stanford insists the clause
will have TO remain, as the agreement
says the rule Is to stand unless both
universities vote for a change.

VALUABLE COLLIE DIES
AT HANDS OF POISONER
Mrs. j. p. Norman Loses Her Prize
Winning Tri- Color Montez Tyche.
Next Show I'm Nav

The brutal dog poisoner Is again at
work in Berkeley. The latest sufferer
is Mrs. J. p. Norman, who lost her val
uable tri-colored collie Montez Tyche
last Tuesday by arsenical poisoning.
This collie won the presidents cup in
December, 1903, for the best collie of
her color in the show. Her last victory
was scored in Oakland, where she took
first prize in her class.
The Pacific advisory committee of the
American Kennel Club has been busy
of late disqualifying various indiyid-
uals guilty of fraud in connection with
canine transactions, or recalcitrant
toward the powers that be in matters
doggy. A short time ago they disqual-
flied s. Barnett for issuing fraudulent
pedigrees. John Perry was accused of
the same crime, but was acquitted of
evil intent, although his pedigrees were
adjudged to be fabrfcations
The latest disqualification was car
ried out on a wholesale scale, involving
all the officials of the Spokane Kennel
Club. John M. Bum, president;
Claude d. Bond, vice president; A. B.
Jackson, secretary; Albert Benham and
A. L.. Crisman, directors, are all dis
qualied for having held a show under
the rules OF an association outlawed by
the American Kennel Club.
The San Francisco Kennel Club will
hold its annual dog show this year dur
ing the second week in May. An un-
usually large entry is expected. Ne
gotiations are pending with an English
Judge.

The taking of testimony in the
Dunsmuir case is still dragging along
before British Consul Bennett as COM
missioner. Both sessions yesterday
were taken up with the rigid cross
examination of J. J. Dwyer by Sir
Charles H Tupper.. AS on Thursday,
the probate law ofsthe State was the
issue under discussion.
The monotony of the afternoon ses-
sion was broken by controversy be-
tween Attorney c. S. Wheeler and the
Canadian barrister, representing Mrs.
Joan Dunsmuir. Wheeler, who is at
torney for Executor James Dunsmuir,
intimated that Sir Charles was mis-
leading the witness by his questioning.
Sir Charles replied that he was simply
trying to get true statements from the
witness from the standpoint that
Dwyer was there to testify as an ex-
pert. He added with much emphasis
and dignity that "he had never at
tempted to mislead or deceive the wit
ness" and then with a smile and a
wave of his hand said: We'll resume
our mutton"
Whether J. A. S. Lowe is again to
appear before the court has not yet
been decided by Attorney Luxton, who
still has the matter under advisement.

owned by McQuaid & Ellsworth, and
presented a check for s945 on the
Stockton Savings Bank. bearing the
signature of Hopkins & Rowe" He
said he wanted $50 badly and that
sum was given him. McQuaid Of
fered him more if he needed 1t and
he replied that 5000 would about fix
him. McQuaid, on second thought,
telegraphed to the Stockton Savings
Bank and received a reply that no
such firm as Hopkins & Rowe was
known there.

ouill Gets Horse Military.

OAKLAND. Jan. 2o.-By a ruling
made in the Superior Court to-day the
racehorse Military is the property of
D. ]. Quill, while James F. Monahan,
the former owner. has lost his horse
through the acts of Max Gutter, who
Judge Hall said to-day he believed
had perjured himself and swindled
both Quill and Monahan. Monahan
testified that he had given Gutter
bill of sale of the horse to secure him
for 1920 advanced by Gutter for feed
and necessary expenses. The horse
won a purse on December "a at a
long price and when Quill put in his
claim to the money Monahan resisted
it. The Jockey Club still retains the
purse, awaiting a settlement of the
dispute. The testimony to-day showed
that Gutter had told Quill he could
buy the horse for 500 and Quill had
put up the money.
