Battling Nelson.

Battling Nelson affords an interest
ing illustration of the fact that prize
fighters of recognized ability are not
always effective under varying circum-
stances. One of the best men in Ameri-
ca in fifteen and twenty round bouts,
Nelson is but second rater in six
round match. Peculiar? Yes. but
easily explained. The Dane is one of
the "slow starters His fighting spirit
is not aroused until the lad has been
punched few times. Like some race
horses Nelson can't get started in a
short distance, and six round bout is
a very short pugilistic distance.
Fighters like Terry McGovern, Jim
my Britt and Eddie Hanlon fight as
furiously in the first few rounds as
they do in the middle of a match. Nell
son will be very foolish if he ever
tackles a really first class man in any
thing less than fifteen round go. In
six round bouts in Philadelphia and
Baltimore recently Nelson was made to
look cheap by "pugs" that have no
place at all in the Danes class.

Special Corr espondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE Md, April 5. 1905
Louis Fl. HILL formerly principal Of the
colored school al Sandy Spring. this county,
was acquitted of the charge of forgery in
the circuit court here today. The indict-
ment alleged that he forged the name Of
Nelson Kelly, also colored, to a check for
$500 The case was tried before the court,
Judges Henderson and Metter sitting in the
case Mr. Edward C. Peter represented the
accused, and States Attorney Robert Peter
appeared for the state. :,
The testimony produced by the state tend
ed to show that the board of county school
commissioners had given Hill the check to
deliver to Kelly for wood furnished Hills
school, and that the accused signed Kellys
name on the back iof the same and procured
the money 1t was also shown that Hill,
when questioned by the school board in re-
gard to the check denied that he had signed
Kelly's name and that he soon afterward
left the county and was fugitive from
Justice for about one year.
Hill swore that he had been authorized by
Kelly to collect the bill against the school
commissioners, and also to procure the
money at the bank. He admitted that he
had lied before the school commissioners,
and also that he had. upon the advice of
friends, left the county, explaining that he
had become frightened. He denied that he
meant to do wrong, and declared that the
reason he did not deliver the money to
Kelly promptly was because he had not de-
lyered all the wood the contract called for
Several witnesses testified that they heard
Kelly say he had authorized Hill to get the
money on the check. and a number of prom
tnent citizens of the county swore the ac-
cused had always borne an exceptional rep
utation for integrity and good citizenship.
Judge Motter reviewed the evidence care
fully and admitted that some portions OF
the evidence made Hill look guilty. He
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-04-06

stated, however, that the testimony of the
witnesses who heard Kelly state that he
had authorized Hill to procure the money
could not be overlooked. and that in view
of the very excellent name given the ac-
cused by well-known citizens he would give
him the benefit of the doubt and order his
discharge.
A license to marry was issued by the
clerk of the circuit court here to Walter E,

ADramovitz was almost the only survivor

Functions of Board Changed.

In the early years of the society, when
1t was in the formative stage, the board
had legislative and judicial power in the
interim between congresses, as was neces
sary, but as the organization was perfect
ed and the society grew, and the expert
mental stage was passed, and methods be-
came clearly established, it was felt to be
unwise to vest these powers longer in the
board, and unfair, too, to place the respon-
sibility of passing finally on the weighty
questions that arose upon so few mem
bers. So in 1898 Miss Forsyth offered an
amendment taking from the board all leg
islative and judicial power and making it
purely an administrative body. subject to
the approval of the continental congress
for it's every act. This amendment was
overwhelmingly passed and since then the
board has been solely an administrative
body, carrying out the orders of the con-

The Second Term Question

The next miSstatement is that the rom
sitution was amended two years ago to
make Mrs. Fairbanks eligible for re-eIec-
ton. Mrs. Fairbanks was eligible for re-
election at that time without constitu-
tional amendment, according to some of
the greatest constitutional lawyers of our
country. including Judge John Goode and
Judge Hagner of Washington. The amend
ment passed then relating to the president
generals term of office applied SOLELY to
the future and not to Mrs. Fairbanks and
was to correct an unintentional error of
Mrs. McCartney's amendment of the pre-
vious year.
Mrs. Lippitt is the only candidate for
president general who is member of that
Mrs. Sternberg is not official and Is I'M

Mrs Mclean has been regent of the
New York chapter the largest in the ma

1t is almost as large as the continental
congress of the d. A. r.. and has the
largest representation in the congress-
I'm the first place, Mrs. Roger Pryor was
the first regent of the New York city chap
ter; Mrs. Ogden Doremus was second and
Mrs Mclean the third. AS to size the
Chicago chapter numbers 772, the Buffalo
chapter 4S3, Pittsburg AGA, while New York
city chapter numbers only Asa, which is
less than half the size of the last CONT

much larger, having loss accredited del
