san Francisco, Feb. 2S.-Frankie
Neill. the American bantam weight
champion successfully defended his
title by knocking out Harry Tenney In
the fourteenth round tonight at Me-
chanic's pavilion. At no time was
Neil in danger of losing. He outfought
hiss man from start to finish. Nell
played havoc with Tenny's face early
in the contest and in the fourth round
almost closed Tenny's right eye with \
terrific hook. Neil's main reliance was
his left. which he placed with wonder
full accuracy and seldom failed to
connect with either Tenny's jaw or
body when he cut loose He seldom
used his right.
AS early as the fourth round Nell
had his man groggy He played for
Tenny's face and body and when the
bell rang Tenny went wobbly to his
corner 1t was the same story all
through the fight. Neil continued to
batter Tenny about at will.
Neil escaped without a mark. He
announced that he would at once
challenge Jem Bowker, the English
champion. who received q decision
over him in London a year ago.
Neil was the favorlte In the betting
at odds of 10 to 8. The lads fought at
l2O pounds rlngside.

OVER THE MILITARY BILL.

Washington Feb. 2S.--The details
OF the provisions of the army appro-
priation bill occupied the house OF
representatives throughout the day.
Several pages of the measure yet re-
main to be considered.
Throughout, members of the ap-
preparation committee. headed by
Chairman Tawney. were in contro-
versy with Chairman Hull and mem-
bers of the military committee. Each
contest was an effort either in the di-
rection of reducing or restricting the
amounts carried in the bill. In some
cases the appropriations committee
was successful and in others the mill
tary committee.
Incidents of the day included an
unsuccessful attempt to recognize the
heroism of two of San Francsco's
firemen who lost their lives in the re-
cent fire on the transport Meade
Mr.. Kahn. of California, presented
$4,000 each and many members ap-

tor to hurry the performance, as a
terrible disaster was impending, No
body else was told lest there be a p1-
mic, but the first part of the concert
only was performed. The audience
left without knowing the reason for
the curtailment of the program.
While this was proceeding, the city
was terrified by the awful prognosti-
cation. 1t was announced by the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives Immediately all fires were eX-
tinguished. The members of the
house rushed into the open. The same
thing happened at conferences of the
great political parties which were In
session. Merchants left their shops
and went into the streets. Some peo-
pie packed their valuables, and pre-
pared to flee. Others ran through the
streets, while still others rode in tram
cars to the suburbs. Many went to
Hibiya Park prepared to spend the
night there. Professors ceased lee
turing and employees were ordered to
leave the factories. Many tea houses
refused to receive guests, and the
geishas declined to dance. Although
extra editions of the newspapers were
issued containing an authoritative
statement that while 1t was always
necessary to be ready there was roth-
ing to scientifically warrant the re-
port, it was not until Sunday that it
was realized that the whole scare was
