SAN FRANCISCO BOXER
COMING TO LOS ANGELES

It was announced yesterday that AL
Kaufman and Mike (Twin) Sullivan
had left San Francisco for Los An
geles and Should arrive here today. If
this is the case, Berger's conqueror
will be here in time to witness the
MemsicNeary mill tonight.
1t was also announced that Kauff-
man would stay in Los Angeles until
the Burns-O'Brien battle, when he
would challenge the winner. Some time
ago it was given out that Sullivan
would come to Los Angeles to assist
in the training of Burns for the con-
test with Neary. Sullivan reached San
Francisco but got no further, as he
was matched to fight Joe Thomas be-
fore Eddie Graney's club Thanksgiv-
ing.
The two men signed but after con-
siderable squabbling the match was
declared off because the members of
the San Francisco fight trust could
reach no satisfactory decision regard
ing the division of the gate receipts.
The same difficulty arose just after
the Hyland Hanlon battle in the north
ern city.
After calling off the match Sullivan
and Kaufman started for Los An
geleS.

"HARLIE NEARY, Milwaukee, the
man who materially assisted the
- late Tommy Jacobs in retiring
Aurelio Herrera from the world Of
ropes and padded gloves, is about to
make his debut before Los Angeles
ring assemblage, said event occurring
tonight, when he faces George Memsic
at Maud Junction pavilion for what is
scheduled to be twenty-round go.
Many newcomers have received more
or less commendable notices attending
their primeval entrance to local ring,
but there is unusual significance at
tached to Mr.. Neary's first night.
Once upon a time dark-skinned
mitt juggler. ably seconded by pin
headed associate, disappointed a great
and representative body of Los An
geles citizens who had paid hard Ameri-
can coin to witness a battle for the
lightweight championship of the world.
1t was a very bad break. American
assemblages are not given to being
shooed away by young men of the Her.
rera-Jacobs stamp, and there was a
goodly outcry.
Driven eastward by the hurricane Of
condemnation which descended upon
him, the Indian ring man was allowed
to sign articles at Milwaukee. There
was small doubt in his mind that
troubles were over again and sunshine
began to simmer through the clouds.
Neary was the name of his opponent
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-13

and the boy had a good record. What
he might do against this hard-hitting
Mexican was problematical.
Ring followers know the outcome.
Seven rounds were sufficient for Her
rera and Milwaukee possessed another
advertising medium in Charlie Neary,
the boy who made his home town IA
nous and Los Angeles glad.
Memsc Strong Opponent
With all his cunning and hitting
ability Neary is taking on hardy OPP
ponent this evening-one who does not
realize what back away" means, and
will probably never learn unless he Is
sent shooting across the ring before
some other mans gloves. During his
training days at Long Beach Memsic
has gained in strength and ring sci
ence, his daily boxing bout with Tommy
Burns and the recent services of Abe
Attell working much good.
Attell is a great admirer of Neary,
but says that Memsic should put up a
rattling fast battle and Is inclined to
consider his chances should Memsic
exhibit the same amount Of GOODNESS as
is characteristic of Neary Memsic
will also be handily seconded this even
ing with Attell and Burns in his cor
ner.
Among those who have carefully
studied Tommy's action while in the
corner there Is decided opinion that
O'Briens opponent is one of the best

SAYS HE WITNESSED ROBBERY
Patrolman Arrests Man Whom He
Accuses of Rifling Pockets of
AGED Victim

Fred Manley tough appearing speci-
men believed to be yeggman, was
arrested by Policeman Frank Roberts
in the alley on Los Angeles street
south of First last night He is said
to have just finished robbing Steve
Demsey, an old man, of $S7 in gold and
silver and diamond ring valued at $50.
Demsey was also placed under arrest
on the charge of being drunk and will
be held without bail until Manley's
case comes up. He was badly battered
up when taken to the station, his nose
and mouth being severely cut from a
blow which Manley is said to have
given him.
According to the story told, the police
man saw the old man go down the alley.
He at once followed and claims to have
seen Manley strike Demsey, grab his
pocketbook and run. He gave chase
and succeeded in capturing the fugitive
about half block away. Manley put
UP fight and it was necessary to hand
cuff him to take him to the station.
Manley denies having robbed the old
man, but the money was found on his
person. When searched at the station
Demsey had a heavily loaded revolver
in his pocket.

WAN IS AN EXPERT
TARIFF COMMITTEE
SENATOR CULL0M WOULD
REVISE SCHEDULES
Illinois Congressman Says Men Who
Undertake Such Task Should
Be Absolutely Nom
Partisan
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia dispatch to
The Tribune from Washington says:
Immediately after congress convenes
next month Senator Cullom of Illinois
will introduce a joint resolution in the
senate providing for the appointment
of an expert tariff committee to con-
slider and report on those schedules
which should be revised.
Such commission, according to the
view of the senator, should be abso-
lutely non-partisan and should treat
the subject solely in accordance with
the needs of the business and labor
interests of the country.
In the judgment of Senator Cullom
the time has come to eliminate the
tariff from politics and to make 1t what
it should be-a practical business
proposition.
He has no sympathy with the view of
the ''stand patters" that the tariff is
like an endless chain and that the
modification of one schedule necessi-
tates the remodeling of the entire sys-
tenn.
What he wants is a law which will
enable change in a particular sched-
ule, either increase or decrease, as the
interests of the working people require.
Senator Cullom feels that If any ac-
ton at all is had on the tariff 1t should
be taken long before a presidential
election and thus eliminate the subject
from a political campaign.

and indications pointed. to slighter odds.
Memsic did nothing yesterday beyond
light run back of Long Beach, while
Neary trotted few miles at Arcadia.
Last, but not least, will be the two
prelminaries which have been ar
ranged, one of ten and the other of six
rounds. Kid Webster, the hickorynut
who always gives ready If not sci
entific exhibition, is scheduled to go
on with Willie Conroy, San Francisco
youngster who comes south with a
good record. 80.
Webster, it will be remembered, Sc
cured draw with Kid Dalton and lost
a decision to Harry Baker. The boy
has never been accused of slowing up
until his evertions began to tell. A lit
tie more experience and he might de-
velop into a good one. Webster and
Conroy are to start for six rounds,
which fact will be to the liking of Web
ster, who is a short period mixer.
McClung and Jack Browne will do
the ten-round act, or at least enter
the ring prepared for such an affair.
McClung is the youngster who has been
working with Memsic at Long Beach.
Browne secured q knockout when he
last appeared in the local arena several
weeks ago.
The list of celebrities will include
those limelighters, Jack O'Brien and
Tommy Burns.
Eddie Robinson will referee.

FEARS HAND OF
DREAD AVENCER.
RUSSIAN is MARKED FOR
DEATH
Receives Warning Letters and Is Told
by an Acquaintance That He
Has Sworn to XIII Him.
Appeals to Police

Are members of Russian secret So
cieties hunting down victims in Los
Angeles?
This is the question which is troubling
the police, and detectives are endeav-
oring to learn whether it is true that
members of such an organization have
arranged to kill Peter Viscount. 659
North Lamare street, formerly promi-
nent in affairs in st. Petersburg, who,
since his arrival In this city several
months ago, has received many warn
ings that his death was to occur Dec
ember l.
Three months ago Viscount received
a letter informing him that he would
soon die. He paid little attention to 1t,
but few days later he received
another missiye to the same effect A
few weeks later he received a message
telling him that he would be killed on
the first day of December. as he mad
been marked for death. and that day
had been selected as the one for the
deed.
Knowing 1t is almost impossible to
stop the societies from carrying out
their threats Viscount began making
preparations for death. He said a fire.
we'll to his friends and wrote to those
he had left in the old world that he
would never see them again.
Then his friends advised him to take
it up with the police and see If they
could not give him protection. He at
last agreed to do so. but that night
while on his way to the police station
as he was passing through a poorly
lighted street he saw man step into
an alley a short distance ahead of him.
He paused for a moment and then hur-
ried by, but when he was about so feet
away was startled to hear shrill voice
cry in RusSian
49, "On December first you die"
Vlscount returned home. but last
night visited the station and recited the
story. He sald he had been informed
that Antoine. Rosezlio. 106 East Adams
street had swore to kill him and stated
lthat when he asked Rosezlio the latter
admitted it. but would not give any
reason for the contemplated deed.
The police told Viscount that he is en-
titled to all the protection they can give
him and he went away from the station
trifle easier in his mind. but still feel
ing that his case is nearly hopeless
against the dreaded secret societies.

P0LECEMAN'S PRESENCE
PREVENTS A BAD FIRE

owing to the timely presence of
Policeman Walker at Sixth and Main
streets at o'clock last night fire was
extinguished without any great loss to
property. Several piles of rubbish on a
vacant lot there had been set on fire,
apparently by small boys playing with
matches. Walker noticed the blaze in
one of the piles and ran toward it.
Scarcely had he began kicking it out
when fire appeared in several others.
He then rang in an alarm, but by the
time the department arrived he had
succeeded in extinguishing all the
blazes.
