OUT
IN THE FIFTH

Los Angeles, CAL Jan. 12.-Aure-
lilo Herrera. of Bakersfield, Cal,
knocked out Young Corbett in the
firth round tonight at the Pacific
Athletic Club pavilion. Herrera's vic
tory was an easy one. Corbetts eX-
hibition was disappointing. lie lacked
the vim and dash that had won so
many battles for him, and his once
forceful blows failed to inhict any
damage upon the well conditioned
body of his opponent
The fight came near ending I'm the
first round. In the last minute of the
round Herrera caught Corbett on the
jaw with the 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 de-
feat for the time being.
In the fourth round Corbett showed
a brief burst Of his old time form.

Early in the fifth round Herrera
succeeded in countering solidly with

Denver boy staggered. Quick as a
flash the Californian was upon him
and with a series of rights and lefts
sent him to the floor.
Corbett got up Immediately but
went down from n right swing that
caught him on the side of the head.
He struggled to his feet ut the count

Herrera pushed him against the

STATE TARIFF IDEA

Washington, Jan. 12.-Interest was
injected into the Philippine tariff de-
bate in the house of representatives
today by "a aChusetts idea" tariff
exposition by Mr.. Mccall of that state
by a characteristic study of the Fill
pinos by Longworth of Ohio. and by
a defense of President Roosevelt by
Mr.. Pou, a democrat from North Car
olina. Besides these. there We're a
number of speeches delivered on the
merits of the bill, nearly all Of which
were i'm opposition to the measure.
During the day an agreement was
reached whereby the debate is to con-
tinue for two days more. The house
is to meet at L O'Clock tomorrow
and Monday and to close the general
debate at O'Clock on the latter day.
The measure will be taken up for
amendment under the five minute rule
Tuesday and doubtless disposed of on
that day.
Mr.. Brooks. of Colorado declared
the beet sugar industry the essential
factor i'm the success of the vast irri-
cation projects of the west and that

Colorado has increased her produce
ton to $4,000 tons annually with a

Brooks provoked good natured ap-
plause by applying Mr.. Dalzells argu-
ment addressed to the beet sugar in
dustry:
You need no protection; what you
need is improved methods to the
iron and steel industry of Pittsburg.
The statement of DalZell that il
would cost .t8 cents to lay Philip
pine sugar down in New York was
disputed by Mr. Brooks. who placed
the figure at 8.55 cents. The friends
of the bill said that under it 10000
tons of sugar would come here.
Beet sugar men were not afraid Of
that amount, but were afraid of thu
amount they themselves believed
would come-frOm 700. 600 to 1000

FRENCH GOVERNMENT DEMANDS
THE FULLEST RECOGNITION

Paris Jan. 12.--Though NJ. Ma
bourguet, the Venezuelan charge d.
affaires, has not received his pass
ports, diplomatic relations between
France and Venezuela are considered
to have been broken off. There Is no
question for the present of a naval de-
monstration, but there Is no doubt
that the French government intends
to have the fullest recognition and re-
spect for its rights.
An official note issued tonight says
that although an ultimatum has not
yet been sent to Venezuela, France
cannot tolerate much longer President
Castro's refusal to accede to the
French demands without considering
the advisability OF taking stronger
means to enforce them.

MISSING MAN A
CHECK ARTIST
Special to the Morning Journal

Special to the Morning Journal
Santa Fe, n. NJ, Jan. 12.-George
Merriman, who mysteriously disap-
peared from the Claire hotel in this
city two weeks ago and for whom all
the officers in the city and county of
santa Fe have been making a diligent
search Is now said to be a bad check
artist
This time 1t is a live man and not a
dead body that is being sought and
kilograms have been sent broadcast in
IN effort to locate the missing man.
In speaking of the case Chief of
Police Richard German said that
while he knew nothing definitely, yet
he felt morally certain that Merriman
was very much alive and far. far
away. The inference is that Merri-
man tloated more checks than he
could take care of and then fed.
1t Is asserted on good authority that
one Santa F'e business man indorsed
check for 5000 which came back in
lust the same shape that it left, with
the exception that It was not good for
the same amount of money. Whether
this is true or not, the officers are not
willing to say. but they have aban-
doned the search through the foothills
for a dead body.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The charges
against James w. Reynolds, renomi-

New Mexico, were considered by the
senate committee on territories today
and the confirmation will be held up
until they can be Investigated. He is
charged with being an offensive parti-

on the committee. Former Delegate

feat of Rodey for denomination. The

serious charges against Reynolds are
that when acting as governor he
pardoned notorious criminals for po-
litiea effect; that he had manipulated
his office so as to secure large fees,
also that he and former Governor
Otero had by unfair means procured
lands eight miles wide on either side
Of an important stream which they use
for a sheep ranch.
The statehood fight enters into the
matter to some extent and Reynolds
is opposed by the faction which is
seeking joint statehood with Arizona.

WHELps THAT SELL THEIR

Some Vermont town is in line for a
aagellation deserved or otherwise from
The whip in Clements hand In his
opening speech Of the campaign at Ben.
nington last Saturday night he paid his
compliments to the miserable whe'p
that sells bis vote and then declared
that there is certain town where tnerc
are 400 purchasable voters, adding the
promise that when he got to that town
lie would tell those voters what lie
thought Of them This is broad state
ment to male, and we trust that Mr.
Clement carefully edited his own speech
before going on the stand and deliver,
ing it broa iside to a vast newspaper
reading public both in Vermont and tho
nation at large The town which num-
bers 400 purshasable voters must needs
be one of the a. ger places of the state,
for not many towns Of Vermont have
a total voting strength of 400. What
is the town that numbers 400 venal
citizensg Is it Barre, Montpelier, Brat
tleboro. st. Adams, ST. Johnsbury, Put
land or BurIingtonY II Clement was
accurate in his statement, some Ner-
mont community is drinking the dregs
OF political degradation, for in commune
tiles of the size of yermont's towns,
that would mean the prostitution Of
the civic virtue, it may be of one-quar-
ter, half, possibly two-thirds Of tho
frcemen. We are pleased that Clement
knows Of only one town which he Is
prepared TO include in such demean-
ing.
Without trying to discount in the
least the fusion candidates efforts for
the betterment Of our civic standard, we
would ask him to stick to his promise
to tell those voters what he thinks of
them" when he gets to the spotted
town.
