az Investigate.
San Francisco, Cal.-Harry Tenny,
who was knocked out by frankie
Neil, the bantam champion pugilist, in
the fourteenth round of a prize fight
at Mechanics Pavilion, died the next
day.
Helpless and without strength to
strike a blow, Tenny had been literally
( beaten to the floor and was carried
senseless to his dressing DOE He
was revived an hour later and COM
planned of pains in his head and stom-
ach. He steadily grew worse until
death ended his sufferings. r
Neil has been arrested. together with
James Caffrath, Eddie" Graney, Will
lis Britt, Morris Levy and Mark
Shaughnessy, who offlciated at the ring
side. All are charged with manslaugIl-
lCLs A4SJ "SIS 4ulCE IS1CdSCu III SSOOO
bail.
After making an autopsy Coroner
Surgeon Cussack announced that the
pugilist's death was due to cerebral
hemorrhage, caused probably. by q
blow.
Mayor Schmitz declares he will in
vestig.te Tenny's death and, if negli-
gence concerning the condition of the
nI1Oilct ic Shnuyn hn will Unoan,raan6
to the Supervisors that no more per-
mits be issued for prize fights in San
Francisco.
Some uneasineSs was felt by promot-
ers, seconds and others connected with
the contest when the condition of Ten
ny after the knockout was noted. He
went down before Neil'S hard left hand
blows, falling nea the centre of the
ring. The timekeeper counted him
out. but in the noise of the shouting
Referee Roche did not hear the COM
pletiOn of the count, and when Tenny
staggered to his feet allowed the fight
to proceed.
A howl of derision greeted the ref
eree's ruling, but it was soon ended,
for Neil went at his opponent like a
mailman and hammered him against
the ropes. Tenny's head sank ON his
chest and his arms dropped to his
sides. In this position Tenny was lit
orally beaten to the MOO by Neil and
was counted out by the referee. He
was carried to his dressing room and
later TO q bath house. Mark Shaugh-
messy attended Tenny at the bath.
The beaten pugilist complained of
terrible pains in his stomach and head.
At 4 O'Clock in the morning he fell
asleep and the physician left, saying
all danger was over. At 7.30 o'clock
Shaughnessy was awakened by a cry
from Tenny. The pugilist's body was
doubled up in agony, and a hurry call
was sent in for the Central Emergency
ambulance. Before it arrived Tenny
was dead.

providing for the marking of the

the North.
Deliver Speaks for Rate Bill.
The discussion of the railroad rate
question In the Senate was continued
by Mr.. Dolliver, who spoke in sup
port of the Dolliver-Hepburn bill.
He said that the bill was intended
merely to supplement the existing in
ter-State commerce law and contend
ed for its validity from a constitu-
tional point of view, predicting that
government ownership of the rail
roads would be forced upon the
country if Congress did not meet the
present demand for regulation.
Mr.. Dolliver was not questioned
and when he concluded the remain
der of the day was devoted to the bill
providing for the settlement of the
affairs of the five civilized tribes of
Indians after the termination of
their tribal relations.
Mr.. Dolliver in his speech said he
did not agree with either Nh. Lora-
ker or Nh. Bacon that the secret prac-
tees have been abandoned. He did
not believe the Elkins bill adequate
for protection against these practices.
"The difficulty about rebates is not
in Furnishing violations of the law"
he said, "but in discovering them
and we have undertaken to amend
the law so as to cover that defect"
Returning to the question of ap-
peals, Mr.. Deliver said hat the pow
Ell the commission would exercise in
III preventing recourse to courts was
about as great as the power of "my
friends who are tiptoeing about this
chamber talking of the day in
court
Mr.. Dolliver referred to the recent
magazine article by ex-Secretary
Olney and said that he was the man
upon whose advice President Cleve-
land had sent an army to Chicago
sin the face of the protests of panic
stricken mayors and screaming gov
ernors.'
There was a perceptible stir in the
Senate when Mr.. Dolliver referred to
one investigator "who had to unload
his railroad securities to give him the
~spiratual preparation for the work"
By Unanimous Consent.
Legislation by unanimous consent
and under suspension Of the rules Oc-
cupied the attention of, the House
and resulted in the passage Of several
bills, some of considerable import
ance. The adoption of a resolution
of inquiry as to whether any crimi-
nal prosecutions have been begun
against individuals in the Northern
Securities Company furnished the
text for a speech of criticism by MI.
Williams. the Democratic leader.
Brief answers were made by Mr.. Jen-
kins, of Wisconsin, and Mr.. Grosver-
enor, of Ohio. Mr.. jenkins said that
the statute of limitations had run
against any action that might be
taken in this case and that any effort
at prosecution would be useless.
