VIII the Quaker Be Able to Handle
Both Men7 Is Question Uppernost
In Mlnds Of Followers Of
Ring Sport

Is Jack O'Brlen the marvel he has
been accredlted7 A question now up
permost in the minds of Los Angeles
followers Of the sport win be decided
within a few hours when the Philadel-
phian enters the ring with two rough
and husky opponents, both of whom are
confident that they can last at least
ten rounds with the Quaker.
Jim Tremble has been doing much
training and some thinking He be-
lleves that O'Brien will not be able to
wither him. within ten rounds. Fred
Cooley has also prepared faithfully for
the contest and between times has
given forth no end of talk relative to
the manner in which he will knock
O'Brien out.
Jack Monroe had his Jeffries. VIII
Fred Cooley have his? Jack says yes.
Fred says no, and there we are. So
far as local opinion Is concerned Trem-
Bile is thought to have a far better
chance than Cooley, of whom not so
much is known.
Cooley, however, has something of a
record, and although 1t is no O'Brien
record, nevertheless there is a nice lit
tie string Of victories chalked up to
his credit.
O'Brien, who SPARED for weeks with
Cooley and who witnessed Tremble in
action recently declares that the lat
ter is by far the more capable man of
the two. O'Brien does not consider
Cooley more than q small obstacle to
be removed before meeting Tremble.
With Cooley done for the Philadelphia
will endeavor to outwit Tremble to such
an extent that Jim will drop into a
bad place and go down before the
tenth round gong sounds.
Tremble is a favorite in Los Angeles
and local admirers will be glad to see
him give OBrien a lively CO. Cooley
is something of an unknown quantity
and 1T is up to him to prove whether
he is anywhere near the claims put
forth by himself.
O'Brien means to administer a bitter
thrashing to Cooley if the trick is pos
sible. The Quaker does not relish the
fact that the latter has gained no small
advertisement at his expense and, like
Jim Jeffries, is determined to wipe out
whatever stain may exist. Unless Cooley
has a guard things promise to go bad
with him.
Much speculation was apparent yes
terday regarding whether O'Brien pos
seSseS sufficient class to get away with
both men in the stipulated period of
ten rounds. O'Brien is not necessarily
called upon to stow away his adver-
saries, but certainly intends making
a great try.
O'Brien's performance tonight will
do much toward setting a line on the
coming battle with Tommy Burns. AL
though Jack has proved himself ex-
tremely fast during his training days
at Chutes park, the situation was so
different from a ring contest that rope
sters will not be satisfied until O'Brlen
gives a regulation demonstra tion of his
proWess.

HAVANA, Oct 14.-Charles e. Ma
goon's first day as governor of Cuba
passed busily but quietly.
The palace was singularly still COM
pared with the eventful days of the
past regime.
Governor Magoon said to the Asso-
ciated Press that he was looking for
ward with confidence to peaceful ad-
ministration. He Is rather of the opin-
ion that now governmental matters will
be of the commonplace order compared
with the exciting and rapid success
sion of developments of the past two
months.
Asked whether he was likely to per-
NIT partisan political expediency to in
fiuence cabinet or other appointments
the governor replied that such consid-
erations might rule to some extent,
since 1t certainly would be impolitic to
appoint to high office men to whom a
considerable portion of the people were
opposed. Efficiency and suitability,
however, would be the main consider
ations.
Watch Expenditures
There will be kept a strict account
ing of such expenses incurred by the
American army of occupation as are
chargeable to Cuba. This will include
only such expenses as would not have
been incurred but for the coming of
the troops to the island.
The last demonstration Of. welcome to
return from the ex-rebels took place
here today upon the arrival of General
Julian Betancourt, who was formerly
Pine Guerras chief of staff.
Betancourt has been detained In
Pinar del Rio collecting insurgent arms
and settling other matters. He is pop
ular in the capital. A crowd of 1000
persons met him at the VillaneuVa sta
lion and greeted him with roars of de-
light.

BAKERSFIELD, oct. 14.-Alfred W.
Hulse, under life sentence for the muir
der of Deputy Sheriff William r. Tib-
bet and awaiting the outcome of an
appeal to the supreme court, killed him
self in the county sjail at o'clock this
afternoon by cutting his throat with a
razor.
1t was Hulse's practice to shave him
self every Sunday, and for that pur-
pose he borrowed a razor from the
sheriff's office. He made his request
this morning ias usual and carefully
shaved himself.
His lunch was taken up to him at 12
o'clock, but it developed later that he
left it untasted
At 8 O'Clock the attention of Jailer
Price was directed to murderers' row
by the screams of other prisoners, and
or entering the corridor the officer
found Eulse lying with his head over
the drain and breathing his last. He
had completely severed the jugular vein
and died within a few minutes after
the act was committed.
Hulse was convicted as an accessory
to the death of Deputy Sheriff Tibbet,
who fell in a fierce battle in a joss
house in this city between a posse of
officers and the outlaw Jim Mckinney.
The battle occurred in Hulse's room,
and guns belonging to him and am
munition purchased by him were found
in the room after the fight
Whether Hulse was actually present
at the battle was never fully deter
mined in court, but District Attorney
Laird secured his conviction as an ac-
eessory.
Deputy Sheriff Tibbett and City Mar
shall Packard, who were killed at the
same time, met their death in April
1903. Mckinney was killed in the same
battle by Policeman Bert Tibbet, a
brother of one of the murdered officers.
Hulse was convicted a year later, and
since that time he has been in the
county Jail waiting an appeal to the

ACCUMULATE A
VAST ARSENAL
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WARSAW, Russian Poland, Oct. a.
A consignment of several thousand re-
volvers, purchased by the Russian gov
ernment in Berlin recently, fell into the
hands of the Polish revolutionists.
Shortly after the arrival of the car
containing the pistols at the Warsa w
freight yards an artillery officer and a
squad of soldiers appeared and pre-
scented the bills of lading and an author
ization to receive the weapons, which
were loaded upon wagon and carried
away. 1t later developed that the SOL
diers were disguised revolutionists and
the documents forged.
The investigation shows since last
December the revolutionists have been
accumulating large stocks of rifles and
revovers in Poland, the greater part
of this, according to a member of the
party, being purchased in Berlin, where
the agents, we'll supplied with money
from the proceeds of recent robberies
and forced contributions are able to
pay cash for weapons of the latest
pattern.
The yconsignments, it is said. have
several times been shipped by railroads
in bond to Warsaw the buyers arrang-
ing by bribing railways to have the
car sidetracked at some convenient
place on the Russian SIDE OF the Iroh-
tier, where it is opened and the conten is
carried away.
Smuggling Fine Art
They also are smuggled in large num-
bers over the regular overland routes
for revolutionary literature most of
these leading from Cracow, in Austrian
Poland, where the Poles have greater
liberty than in German Poland.
Although the frontier is closely
guarded, smuggling offers little diff
Guilty, owing to connivance of the sol
diers, and professional smugglers have
regular rates of $1.50 per pound for ille-
gal pamphlets and books. For arms the
rate is somewhat higher.
AS rule the smugglers work in
groups Of three or four.
Arriving at the frontier one of the
party approaches the guard, makes
terms with him, the regular price for a
free passage being about S., paying half
in advance and taking possession of
the soldiers rifle until the other MEM
bers have crossed the frontier.
In spite of the efforts of the police,
few Of the revolutionary arsenals have
yet been discovered.
