With this statement made by the fighter

fews hours, came the admission that he had
"double-crossed'' the sporting fraternity in the
past. The confession of the negro makes the
concluding chapter in the notorious Cans Nc

1900, and which practically put the sport out
of business in Chicago.

In talking Of his past ring transactions Cans

The reason for these happenings was that when,

DEATH ON THE RIVER
 STEAMER OVERTURNED
A Majority at Least of the 200 Pas
 sengers Were Saved.

La Crosse, Wis, July '12.-The steamer Quincy of the Diamond Jo struck a bank in the dark near Trem- peleau, Wis, at 1O:3O last night turn ed half over and then caught fire. It is believed the majority of the 200 pas sengers on board were saved, and only one drowned is definitely known. That was an infant which was washed from it's mothers arms.
 At 1:20 o'clock this morning a be- lated train brought sixty passengers who were on the boat to this city. Ac- counts given by them of the disaster do not include positive statement as to drOwnings, but it is believed compara- lively few met death.
 All communication with Trempea- leau is cut off and information relative to the accident to the steamer is ob- tainable only through the stories told by passengers and meager reports re- ceived at the railroad offices.

A TALK ON CANALS
 TO BUCKEYE LAWYERS
Secretary Taft Addresses the Ohio
 State Bar Association.

Putin Bay, Ohio, July 11.-Secre- tary Taft in his speech before the State Bar associatiOn, after apologiz ing fOra not having selected a legal subject, began his address upon the Panama canal by giving reasons for the selections by the government of the Panama route and explaining the apparent delay in the actual work of excavation. The necessity of imprOV- ed sanitary conditions being establish ed before the actual work of cOnstruc- tiOn was actively commenced, was strongly emphasized and it was shown that nearly 25,0OO employees had in reality accomplished more than any one realized in the building and equip ment of railroads, construction of wat CT supply and building of thousands of homes for those engaged in the work.
 It was pointed out that the actual excavation was much less of a prob lem than what to do with the material when it was taken out, much of which had to be carried seventeen miles, re- quiring the building of over 300 miles of spur tracks. The questio nof ob- taining sufficient labor was shown to be a serious one, and it had been nec- essary to employ large numbers of na- tives and Chinamen, three of whom

"I emphasized the same thought on other occasions in public speech. T reiterated it in a speech on Jefferson day, 1905, in which I said; The plain truth is that there has been no time during the past eight years, since the abuses alleged became fragrant, when they could not have been eliminated. Nothing has been so much needed as a rigid, honest, unyielding enforcement of the law, both civil and criminal. But instead of going on with the en- forcement of the law against rebates by putting railroad officials responsible for them behind prison bars precisely as we do other malefactors, their miscon- duct is made an excuse for further con- centration of power in the federal gov ernment.
 Tt is intended by the administration and the railroad officials, who openly favor the movement, as well as by those who are ostensibly opposed to it, that the people, in their just indigna- tiOn at the wrongs done to the many
 for the benefit of the few will lose
 sight of the danger of so vast a cen
 tralization of power until it is too late
 to check it. But we should never for
 get that the safety of our institutions is involved in every such movement
 and, instead of submitting to it, we should insist that when a trust or a
 railroad has violated the criminal law
 the place for the guilty official is in the
 jail or the penitentiary, not in the cab
 inet nor in the board rooms of great railroads. We do not defend or excuse
 any wrongs. but we must insist upon
 the truth of the maxim that two wrongs do not make a right
 Until after this last utterance. nc visible action had been taken by the administration that had been in power for four years to check corporate and trust abuses by an appeal to the criminal courts. If such steps were taken, I submit that the result proves the truthfulness of the asser- tion often made by me, that we have an abundance of law to put an end tC | all offenses against the public by the | officers of the trusts and great corpOr- ations of the country.
 | "The administration has now discov- l cred not only that there is enforceable
 law against the giving of rebates, z | law adequate to check illegal combi- nations. but that the persons engaged | in its violation can be punished for it | The recent differences of the courts | the large fines imposed in cases of con viction, the threatened proceedings il l every section of the country, all dem

dary Of the two countries for some time and a serious clash was expected but a temporary armistice seemed to have been agreed upon and Salvador announced that J. R. Pacus had been named as special envoy to Washington for the purpose of making representa- tiOns to the American government concerning Salvador's position. John Junkins, the American consul general at San Salvador. was to accompany MT. Pacus to this country.
 SalvadOr's alleged assistance of the reVolutiOnists in Guatemala who were attempting to overthrow President Ca brera caused Guatemala to protest bit terly to the United States and Mexico and resulted in representations to Sal vador by those two republics which indicated that they resented foreign in reference in the internal affairs of Guatemala
 As soon as the position of the United States was clear Salvador insisted that MT. Pacus would come 10 Washington to explain the situation. Guatemala indicating a willingness to have the United States act as mediator Reas- suring reports reached the state de- partment concerning the international conditions in Guatemala and it was be- leved until today that President Ca brera had put down the revolution and that the row with Salvador would soon be amicably settled

TRIAL OF JUDGE HARGIS
 NEPHtW'S ADMISSION
He Confessed That He Was the Aur.
 deIeF of narCum.

Beattyville, ky, July n.-Curtis Jett at the afternoon session of the trial of Judge Hargis for murder took the stand. admitted the assassination of Marcum and told the manner in which the crime was committed.
 MT. Marcum had prosecuted me in several cases and was my bitter en- emy and I am the man who killed him." said Jett. He then told Of the assassination, tallying with the de- scriptiOn given by B. J. Ewen. Jett said he had not conferred with White in regard to the killing. The pistol he used was his own and was owned by him several months. He told the attor- neys this morning that Sheriff Callahan had given it to him.
 The defendants helped to defend him in his previous trial. He did not know, but thought they had paid his attor- ney's fees. He suddenly lost his mem ory at the most crucial moment and could tell nothing of his or Whites actions preceding or following the mur- der. Jett did not remember seeing
 White in the court house at all, and said that as far as he was concerned White was perfectly innocent. That Jett has had some marvellous change of heart is apparent, but the reason may be found in the statement 1 of the commonwealth's attorney, Ad-
 ans, who said Jett had been drinking and that another attempt would be | made tomorrow to get him to repeat his confession.
 Tom White followed Jett on the stand | and asked Attorney Byrd to excuse | him as he didn't want to answer any ] questions. He was asked if he was in | Jackson the day Marcum was killed, | but he declined to answer. White even 1 refused to answer after being told to | by the court. Judge Dorsey ordered the witness to jail.
 | w. B. Johnson said Tom White told him just a few weeks before Marcum was killed that Hargis wanted him to l do the fighting for him. This testi-
 mOny was excluded yesterday but was | admitted today.

BACKBONE WAS NEEDED
 NOT MORE LEGISLATION
Alton B. Parker Speaking of the Prose
 CutiOn of Trusts
His Reply to the Speech of Secretary Taft in Which He Finds the Greatest Danger to be Generalization of Power.

New York; July 11.-FOrmer Judge Alton B. Parker, in a statement given out today, took issue with some of the utterances of Secretary of War Taft in the speech delivered at Greensboro N. C., by MT. Taft last week. Mir Parker declares that the secretary of war in his speech sought to have the public draw the inference that the recent prosecutions of alleged illegal combi- nations are due to the new statutes. To this Judge Parker takes exception, and to support his contention he quotes from his letter of acceptance and a speech subsequently delivered during the last presidential campaign. In both the speech and the letter Judge Parker is quoted as saying that the laws then on the statute books were entirely ade- quate if enforced.
 Judge Parker in his statement says: "The inference that MT. Taft would have the public draw from his utter ances is that these things are due to new statutes; that the VindicatiOn which the law is now receiving is due to congressional action since 1904. But that is not so. Not one of the success full prosecutions for which the existing administration is now entitled to credit is based on any new statute. Every single one of them down to this date rests solely upon the law as it sNood in 1904 and it should not be lost sight Of by a discriminating public that the law could have been enforced in 1904 and in 1903 and in 1902; just as well as to- day. Had it been, the wrongs from which the people have suffered would not have so multiplied.
 Secretary Taft's speech at Greens boro, N. C." says Judge Parker, twas interesting throughout, but it cannot be said that 1t was accurate through out. l shall only refer to the state ment in which he alluded to the posi- tion taken by me in the campaign of 1904, in substance and effect that we have law enough to stop every cor porate abuse: that all that is lacking is an administration disposed to en- force the law.
 'I said in the letter of acceptance under the title of Trust Remedies T pointed out in my earlier response the remedy which in my judgment car effectually be applied against mOnOp- Olies, and the assurance was given tha if the existing laws, including both the statute and the common law. proved inadequate, contrary to my eXpecta- tions, I favor such further Legislation with constitutional limitations as vii best promote and safeguard the inter ests of all the people.

A S45.OOO PROFIT
 ON $500 INVESTMENT
A Statement of One Years Work in
 the Ice Business.

Kansas City July 11.-EX-State Sen ator Lyons, president of the Central Ice company, of this city, gave inter esting testimony at the flee trust hear ing" today. After stating that he had started n ibusiness in 1900 with capi- tai of $500 he cleared $45,O0O in the following year, and that he now owns a plant valued at $40O,OO0. MT. Ly- ons said that prices ought to be even higher than they are.
 MT. Lyons told of making two ad- vances this season in the price of ice sold to peddlers, on April l and on May l.
 How did you come to raise the price on the first of April?" was ask ed.
 T heard that the Peoples Ice com pany was going to raise the price on that day, so l raised it."
 ''Why?"
 Well. I am not in the ice business as philanthropist I wanted to get all I could for my ice"
 The first advance was from 40 cents to one dollar a ton. Later he made an additional raise whe1H he heard the i other companies intended doing so.
 Mir. Lyons said he knew of no com bination in the ice business. But il I IS not necessary this year" he added In reply to further questioning, MT 1 Lyons said: If I had the making o1 the price of ice it would be higher than it is now. The downtown trade today ought to be paying several dol lars a ton. It is due to the timidity of the ice men that the price is no higher. I say timidity. I won't say cowardice, but it is business timidity and moral timidity." MT. Lyons said he thought the cos of manufacturing ice was about $1.7g to $1.S5 a ton
