Willie Is i'm Earnest About a

Posts a Forfeit of $500 to Bind
a Battle With Robert.
is AN ANGRY FIGHTER.
He Doesn't Like the Way He Il
POked Fun At.
Would Make the FreckledArticle
Look Like 80 Cents.


Chicago, March sandy Craig has
posted with the American forfeit of $500
as an earnest proof of good faith on the
part of John Willie in his efforts to Sc
cure a match with Bob F'itzsimmons.
The money is to go as part of a side
bet from 81, 900 to $1,000 that Fitz cam
not beat the hard-hitting German.
Willie says he is bound to make Fftz
fight him or acknowledge he is afraid of
him. He is angry at the fun Fitz polzed
at him a few days ago, when he said he
would have to skip the country for
murder If he ever hit John.
TIL make that freclkled article look
like 30 cents when he tries to kill me-
said Willie when he in company with
Jack Curley and Andy Craig. appeared
to post his forfeit
THAT money shows I'm not flushing
with Fitz, and if there is any game
ness in him he'll cover it. I'll let him
dictate any reasonable terms for the
match and will go anywhere to get a
whack at him. sit seems Fitz is the
stumbling block sto the heavyweight
championship have shown I can
beat Jack O'Brien in a long bout, and
1 know I can trim F'itz."
Willie is in training daily, anticipating
that Fitz may finally be prevailed upon
to fight, and the German is going to be
in the best possible shape for the meet

forged to the front with this motion
to discharge the senate cOnferees and

Mr. Bailey called up his resolution

Senator Bailey said that not to ex-

Lyon County Fish Yarn.

Now that the ice has thawed, the
farmers say any amount of dead fish
can be found in the shallow ponds in
the country. Frank Van Gundy, of
Neosho Rapids, says the farmers in his
vicinity are eating fish as often as they
wish. All they had to do when the
ice on the ponds began to thaw, was to
chop the fish out of the ice. Some of
the shallow ponds, and most ponds
were shallow before the last snow,
froze to the bottom or so near the
bottom that the fish froze to death.
When the thaw set in, it was just like
taking them out of cold storage. Mr..
Van Gundy says the crows are fatten-
ing on the dead fish. Now that the
ice has melted, the fish float and tn e
crows help themselves. On the way
to Emporia yesterday Mr.. Van Gundy
says he saw a lot of crows eating fish
they had taken from q. pasture pond.
One crow in particular attracted his
attention. 1t had filed up to the top
notch on fish, and the tail of a small
fish protruded from his mouth.-Em-

WIN ROW ON CharIes River

Boston, March 3.-The Cornell sec
ond crew will row the second Harvard
crew on Memorial day over the mile
and seven-eighths course on the
Charles river, from the Union Boat
club to the Longwood bridge For
two years Cornell's and Harvard's sec
ond crews have rowed on Cayuga
lake on Memorial day, and in both
cases Cornell has come out ahead.
This year it was Capt. Filley's idea to
have Cornell come here to row, and
thus see what chance Harvard had on
its own water. The crew that will
represent Harvard probably will be

NELSON AND BRITT.
Fight Is Booked at 1872 Pounds Two
Pounds Higher Than Last Bout.

Pounds Higher Than Last Bout.
San Francisco, Cay, March 3.-Bat-
Ting Nelson. the Chicago fighter, who
won over Young Corbett, is now in
line for another fight with Jimmy
Britt, the light weight Britt has one
victory over Nelson. The go went the
twenty rounds limit and was a shade
decision. This fight is booked at 1872
pounds at O'Clock. This is pounds
above the weight Corbett and Nelson
made.
Nelson had trouble getting down to
the 100, which may mean that he is
no longer a feather" at any stage,
but q pure light weight, at which
figure he can enter the ring strong.
Fight fanciers believe that the Britt
Nelson fight will be a closer match
than the other one, and consequently
one of the hardest to pick in advance
of any of the big fights that have
taken place within the last two years.
Ambitious pugilists from all sections
of the country are already sending in
challenges to meet Nelson, now that
he has demonstrated that he. is Cor
belts superior. The first received was
from Tommy Mowatt of Chicago Mo-
watt offers to meet Nelson in Chicago
in a fight to a finish at 100 pounds for
a side. bet of $4,000.
The second challenge comes from
Terry McGovern at Syracuse, N Y.
He includes Britt and COrbett in a
sweeping defy, and offers to put up a
forfeit of $4,000 to bind any match
which may be made.

wouIdn,t Hear Hobson.

Lacrosse, Wis. March 3.-Captain
Hobson, hero of the Merrimac. was
refused permission to talk to the pref
ty "co-eds" and boys of the high
school. Those near the ones who re-
fused him that opportunity state it is
on account of his kissing reputation
Prof. Hemmenway, the principal,
said in an interview that the reasn
was that he did not like the early
reputation gained by the naval hero
when he first came before the public
and that he did not think the public
approved of it. Captain Hobson said
he would like to talk to the high
school pupils. Mr.. Burke. a leading
citizen, and chairman of the commit
tee under which Captain Hobson was
brought here to lecture, volunteered
to see Prof. Hemmenway, the prin-
cipal. He did so with the result stated.

ceded that the president is en-
powered to go ahead with the con-
struction of the canal. The only ques-
ton is the authority of the executive
to exercise the desired government of
the canal zone which is provided for
in that portion of the bill continuing
in force until the expiration of the
session of the Fifty-ninth congress
beginning in December of this year,
the authority now vested in the presi-
dent which expires March 4. It is
believed by many persons in congress
that the president has authority in
any event to continue such control,
but if it should be decided otherwise
by joint resolution such authority
could be extended later.
Practically the only difference be-
tween the two houses was over the
provision of the house bill which
abolishes the canal commission. This
was stricken out by the senate. Com
promises for reducing the commission
were suggested by the senate con-
ferees, but the house would not ac-
cept any proposition that did not
abolish the commission.
