The hall has also been fitted
out with a raised platform in the

CUTLER BOXING
WITH JOHN L.
Former Beltrami Man Is
Sparring Partner to Great:
Ex-Champion.

& Bemidji people will remember
Charles Cutler, the heavyweight
boxer, who at one time was chief
Of police at Blackjack, and who
afterwards lived in this city for
some time.
Cutler, a year ago last winter,
held forth at Cass Lake, and he
won several very creditable
battles. He was defeated by a
scrapper known as the "Kerry
Kid," of Superior, through the
raw work of an unfair referee,
and the lack of condition on the
part Of Cutler. Many Bemidji
sports saw the fight and were
very much riled at the manner in
which it was conducted.
Since that battle Cutler has
been taking very good care Of
himself, and has advanced rapidly
along boxing lines. He was re

DEF AIJLTER NO.
DEAD, IS REPORT
j. Mathews, Former Deputy
Treasurer Of Polk County,
May Return.

News from a source that is
considered thoroughly reliable
by many, has been received in
the city to the effect that Joseph
Mathews, who as deputy treas
urer Of Polk county defaulted to
the extent Of about $4,000, and
who was thought to have died il
a London hotel in 1898, is alive
and well at the present time, To-
Gated in a prosperous city in the
United States, says the Crooks
ton Times.
1t is claimed he has about half
of the amount of defalcation
saved up, and expects in com
paratively short time to return
| to Crookston, reimburse the
bondsmen of County Treasurer
Beaudry, who settled with Polk
county on a basis Of so per cent,
and start life over again.
The news came as a thunder
bolt out Of clear sky. Mathews
disappeared in 1897, while he
was acting as deputy treasurer,
and was never seen here again.
A man was found dead in a
London hotel and on his person
was found a prescription written
by Crookston physician. The
authorities here were wired and
the Identification was thought to
be complete, as a photograph
taken Of the remains strongly
resembled the missing man and
in addition Mathews watch and
ring were found upon the dead
man together with some papers.
Now it is thought that Mathews
was in London at the time and
changed the clothing with the
dead man to confuse the authori.
ties. ..

Put Through.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SfEOlAL DtSFA1Ch III
WASHINGTON, June 23-President
Roosevelt accounts this a red-letter
week in his administration calendar.
Within seven days he won his meat
inspection and isthmian canal fights
The President is peculiarly constitut-
ed. He takes little note of defeats and
thinks only of victories. As for the
defeats, his idea is that he can take
the field at later day and wipe them
out, but as for the victories. he feels
there is present and lasting glory.
In January The Call correspondent
said in dispatch that he was in a po-
sition to tabulate accurately the great
er questions of the day as they stood in
point of importance with the President
The order was set forth thus: Isthmian
canal. railroad rate legislation, Philip
pine tariff bill, Santo Domingo treaty
and joint statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian Territory and for Arizona and
New Mexico.
The victories and the defeats for the
President on these measures stand as
two to two, with the contest on the
fifth having place as a drawn battle.
At the time the list was given ii was
stated that IL was the general belier
that Mr.. Roosevelt held railroad rate
legislation of greater Importance than
isthmian canal legislation. but The Call
correspondent, upon the pest authority
possible, gave the canal the ranking
place.
In obtaining the sanction of Congress
for a lock canal Mr.. Roosevelt believes
he has won the greatest victory of his
administration. He probably considers
railroad rate legislation another great
victory, though undoubtedly 1t should
go into minor class because he yield
ed at a point whore he had placed the

As far as the Philippine tariff bill
and the Santo Domingo treaty are con-
cerned. the chief executive not only has
been defeated but in sense has been
scorned. If determination stands for
anything he will bring the enemies OF
these two measures into camp before
long.

sion and another at the Potrero. A

architectural point. and permanent also,
would cost $1,000. Ten thousand of
such homes might be required. The
occupants could pay rent or purchase
the property on the installment plan.
The houses could be furnished by the
tenants themselves as the firms dealing
in furniture would accept payments on
the installment plan. The Mayors idea
is to guard against interference to the
detriment of legitimate business

vance money on valuable articles saved

wrote three today One was to his ia
vorite cousin, Miss Holt, at Sonora, and
another was to Attorney Grove L..
Johnson at Sacramento, dismissing him
from any further connection with the
Weber case. Johnson wrote letter TO

they would still have the insanity plea.
Johnson said no doctor in the State of
California would swear that Weber was
sane. This greatly angered Weber.
hence the letter to Johnson. In il
Weber said that If the insanity plea
was ever offered they would find him
on the side of the prosecution.
The third letter was directed to Rev.

Auburn. It is as follows:l
