YOUNG CORBETT IS
 EASY FOR HERRERA
CALIFORNIAN KNOCKS OUT THE DENVER MAN IN FIFTH ROUND. coReETT SHOWED VERY POOR FORM.

Los Angeles, Cal, January 12.-Aurelio Herrera of Bakerield, Gala, knocked out Young Corbett in the fifth round tonight at the Pacific Athletic club pavilion. Her rera's victory was an easy one Corbetts s exhibition was disappointing. He lacks the vim and dash that had won so many bat ties for him. and his once forceful blows failed to infiict any damage upon the well conditioned. body of his opponent.
 The fight came near ending in the first round. In the last minute of the round Herrera caught Corbett on the jaw with left and right in quick succession and sent him staggering against the ropes, but over-anxiety to land the finishing blow caused him to swing wildly, and Corbett quickly gathered his wits and stalled off defeat for the time being.
 In the fourth round corbett showed a brief burst of his old-dme form. twice forcing Herrera againsts the ropes and landing with both hands.
 Early in the fifth round Herrera started in countering solidly with his right on Corbett's jaw, and the Denver boy stag gered. Quick as a flash the Californian was upon him with a series of rights and lefts and sent him to the fioor. Cor bett got up immediately but again went down from right swing that caught him on the side of the head. He struggled to his feet at the count of six and tried to clinch. Herrera pushed him against the ropes and setting himself, swung vicious right flush for the jaw. Corbett fell upon his face and lay in that position until he was counted out. He was carried to his corner and 1t required five minutes work by his seconds to bring him around.
 There was much betting on the fight. At first the odds were 10 to in Cor bett's favor,A but today the betting switched to even money and tonight there was no Corbett money in sight at 10 to g. with Herrera fayorite

Rogers Sets Forth Reasons.

MT. Rogers in his answer set forth four reasons why he should not be compelled to answer these questions as follows:
 The first claim made was that the ques- tions were immaterial: second, that a con test regarding the admissibflity of the same questions Is pending before the courts in Mlssouri third, that the attor- ney general of Missouri has no legal right to take dispositions in New York and that the questions are for consideration of the courts of another state: fourth, that the attorney general of Missouri Is not ask ing the questions ct Issue for the pur- pose of public policy but is bringing the proceedings in order to gain advertise ment and personal notoriety as a foe of the Standard Oil company.
 To support this last named claim the answer set forth that the newspapers have been fed with sensational stories by MT. Hadley and his associates, hold ing up MT Rogers to contempt and ridicule. It was further contended that newspaper photographers and artists have been given a free hand at the hearing before Commissioner Sanborn, causing MT. Rogers great annoyance.

 between France and Venezuela Is tech nically chargeable against the personality of M Taigny. the French charge at Ca racas, the real issue, as 1t Is understood here, Is the attack by President Castro upon the properties and franchise of the French Cable company.
 The president asserted that the cable company had lent active assistance to the Mates rebellion Therefore he began pro- ceedings in the Venezuelan courts against the company on that score and also conn plained that the company had violated the terms of its concession in not laying cer- tain coast lines of cable, and especially in crossing the island of Santo Domingo with land wires subject to frequent inter ruption in times of rebellion on that is- land. The courts sustained the presidents s view and in fact practically took possess sion of tho company offices at several points when the French government in- tervened In the absence Of the regular minister, M Taigny presented written protest to the Venezuelan government, President Castro regarded this note as insulting to his government and refused to have anything more to do with M. Taigny.

Took offense to Herself.

But the French government refused to allow the dispute to be made personal one and declared that M. Taigny, in his representations had followed precisely the instructions of his foreign office
 At this point MT. Russell. the American minister at Caracas, tntervened in the in- terest of peace, and after many patient exchanges 1t was believed that he had finally succeeded. But while he induced President Castro to withdraw note re- fusing to do business with M. Taigny, which tbe French government regarded as offensive. he could not prevail upon Pres ident Castro to resume his official rela- tions with the French charge
 Climax Came on New Years.
 The climax came on New Years Day when the French government supposlng that A satisfactory settlement had been reached. received with the usual honors of the New Year Day reception the Vene- zuelan minister at Paris, only to learn that President Castro had refused to do likewise for M. Taigny at Caracas. This omission touched the pride of the Frencn government which felt 1t had been made the victim of double dealing and deceit which fact the French ambassador Tn Washington was not slow to communicate to the state department.
 MT. Russell reported his failure to ef- feet A settlement thereby making him self unpopular in Caracas and then came notice from the French government that diplomatio relations with Venezula were completely severed. There is hint or unitive measures on the part Of France and the situation is regarded officially as very unpleasant with possibilities Of serl- ous consenuences

Rates Are Low Enough.

The state railroad commission, at it's regular meeting. which was concluded to- day, formulated letter to be written to Judge w. F. Eve of Augusta. in reply to his communication petitioning the com mission to grant lower schedule of rates upon material to be used in the improve ment of public highways throughout the state.
 The commission states, after going fully into the matter, that as a general propo- sition it considers that It's present rates on crushed stone and like materials which are often used in road building, are low enough. But whenever any special road improvement Is undertaken the commis- sion states 1t will be glad to take the matter up and arrange. If possible. to get reductions n the freight rate for such special cases.
 The commission has had before 1t a large amount of detail work including many in- dividual complaints which 1t has pass ed upon, but the only other matter of any consequence was in relation to the depot at Collins. On November 10, last the commission issued an order requiring the Seaboard Air Line to construct a new depot at Collins in accordance with plans which were submitted and approved. Il was understood that the two other roads entering Collins would join with the Sea board and make union depot of it. Since then, however, these roads have refused to cooperate with the depot, and the com mission has been so notified. Today the commission issued orders directed to these other railroads requiring them to builc new depots at once. This will force then either to erect depots of their own oi to enter into an agreement with the Sea. board for union depot which will be quite as satisfactory, if not more so, tc the people of Collins.
