BURNS WON FROM HART
Latter Fails to Show Anything Like
Championship Form and Decision is
Given to Burns After Twenty
Rounds of Tiresome Fighting.

| Los Angeles, Feb 24.--By those who
! took Marvin Hart's claim to the
worlds championship title seriously,
Tommy Burns, of Chicago, may now
be considered the heavy weight cham
pion. Burns decisively outpointed
Hart last night at the Pacific Athletic
| Club pavilion and was given the decis-
| ion at the end of the twentieth round.
From start to finish, with the possible
exception Of the tenth and twelfth
rounds, when Hart had very small
advantage, Burns outfought the bigger
man, outgeneraled him, and beat him
at every point in the game of boxing.
! At times, Burns, although handicapped
| in weight and height, made Hart look
| like novice.
In the opening round. Burns was
very nervous and lacked confidence.
After this. however, he quickly sized
Hart up. and began systematic at

kept 1t running in almost every round
thereafter In the fifth Burns caught
Hart over the right eye, and in the
following rounds, battered that optic
until it was closed,
Hart failed to show any champion
ship form of any sort His persistent
attempts to rough it in clinches, earn
ed the disapproval of four thousand
persons who witnessed the contest, AMI
appeared to be with Burns almost to a
man. Burns style of attack was to
shoot his left to the face or body, and
step inside Harts swings, allowing
them to go around his neck or ducking
them entirely. Hart simply could not
land on Burns, and toward the latter
part Of the fight tried hard to rough
it and wear Burns out by using his
weight in the clinches. The fight was
tiresome. one round being much like
the preceding and following ones. In
the fourteenth Burns appeared to have
chance to knock Hart out. He caught
the bigger man right and left on the
jaw that sent him staggering for
moment. Quickly seizing his advan-
tage Burns hammered Hart about the
face and head until he forced him to
cover up and give ground. In the last
few rounds, seeing the tide Of battle
going against him, Hart, urged by his
chief second, Tommy Ryan. tried des-
perately to corner his quick witted op-
ponent and secure knockout. Every
attempt failed, however, and every
round increased Burns lead. Hart
weighed about 1876, while Burns weight
was given as Its. Jack (Twin) Sulli-

AS soon as he sufficiently recovered,
he was appointed commissioner of the
board of enrolment for the Third dis
trict of Iowa with headquarters in
Dubuque In 1865 he was appointed
collector of internal revenue at Du-
buque and served until 1869, when he
retired to begin the practice of law.
Later he was appointed assistant Unit
ed States attorney for the northern
district of Iowa, but retired in 1871 to
resume the practice of law.
Colonel Henderson was first elected
to serve in the Forty-eighth congress
from the Third district of Iowa. He
was successfully reelected and in 1899
was elected speaker Of the house OF
representatives.
In 1902 he suddenly announced his
retirement from politics, although he
had lust been renominated in the Third
district. He gave as reason his ad-
vanced age and the fact that his views
on the tariff were at a variance with
those of some of his constituents.
Since his retirement from congress,
he spent the bulk of his time in New
York, Long Branch. N. j.. and Los
Angeles, but returned to Dubuque a
few months ago to make his home.

Of the interstate commission final on

practicable He declares similar plan
tried in England in the seventies did
not work and was finally repealed. He
declares the common law gives the
shipper more protection than the

peake and Ohio coal case, recently de-
cided by the supreme court. Yet, in
spite Of these considerations, Hadley
expresses the belief that passage Of the
