Glass Roof for Winter Fights.

One of the best features of the new
arena is that il will be entirely rooted
over, but twO-thiTds of the roof and six
feet of the side walls Will be of glass,
which can be easily removed. allowing
the arena to be turned into an open-air
pavilion. This arrangement will allow the
club to take advantage of all kinds of
weather in the holding of fights.
The building will be heated by a series
of stoves placed under the seats and con-
nected with long lengths of stOvepipe,
which will greatly increase the warming
capacity.
1t is obvious that on account of the
great expense in building the arena the
Casino club is in the fight promoting
business TO stay. Manager Riley of the
club will withdraw from active charge
of his many business interests during the
coming year and will devote his entire
time TO the work of handling the clubs
affairs. He will act as matchmaker for
the club and promises that during the
year 1907 he VIII pull off some of the
greatest championship contests the world
has ever seen. As far as backing goes
the Casino club has unlimited resources
as among It's silent members are some
of the wealthiest men in the entire state
of Nevada. Manager Riley. says that Ne
vada is going to be made the fight cen
ter of the country. with Tonopah as the
fountain head.

BOARD CLEARS
SMATHERS' NAME
-
Famous Lou Dillon Dragging
Case Is Settled by National
Trotting Association.

New York, Dec. 5.-The Memphis gold
cup dispute was officially ended tonight.
when the board of review of the National
Trotting association decidtsd that the tro-
ply had been won on merit, and dis
missed the charges against F. f. Smath-
ers
The. case. which was taken up by the
board at continuation o.. its winter
meeting today, grew out of the drugGinS
of Lou Dillop at the MeI nphiS Crenn. }
meeting in October, 1904. Smathers, who
owned Mejar Deimar and drove him in
the race was charged with having been
cognzant of i51-treatment OF c X. Bill
lings mare. which resulted in the latter's
utter failure to show form in the race,
and the winning of the S500 gold cup by
{ Major Delmar.
Spears Character Bad.
George W. Spear was the most damag-
ing witness a gai1st Smathers today. He
swOre that Sinathers had requested him
to open negos iatiOns with Saunders as to
whether Lou Dillon could nCE be fixed y
Spear said that Saunders offered to do the
job for $40 100 but Smathers thought that
too much aud told him to drop it. The
defense Immediately produced witnesses
who declared that Spears character is
bed.
s. Wise, couns 81 for Smathers, made a
bitter arraignm, ant of the men who had
procured the Oh argos against his client,
mentioning parti cularly c. X Billings,
owner of Lou hi VOn, and Murray Howe,
secretary of the Memphis TrOtt1ng assO-
citation.
I feel that we lave suffered long and
patiently and bite Tly,'' said Mr. Wise.
The charges are a Ssoluteiy unSustained.
And as to Billings and Howe-that is a
matter for further development. which
later we will take under consideration.
The case went TO the board in executive
session, which lasted hardly quarter of
an hour.

Insurance Companies Willing to
Make Concessions
I|F The LEGISLATIVE REPEALS LAW
WANT THE VALUED POLICY"
ACT WIPED OFF THE STATE
STATUTES.

IF the big insurance companies.
American and foreign, doing business
in the state Of Washington. can re-
ceive satisfactory assurance Of q re-
peal Of the valued policy" law and
the anti-combine statute, it is prob
able that the projected raise Of 25 per
cent in rates will not be made.
This is asserted to be the somewhat
startling statement of a number of
we'll known insurance men who are in
touch with the progress Of things in
the managerial offices of the various
companies, says the Spokane Chroni-
cle
While the proposition is not stated
just that way, it is, nevertheless, de-
clared to be almost a certainty that
the companies would like to make a
trade with the people of the state of
Washington by which obnoxious laws
would be wiped off the statute books
and the property owners Of the state
thereby saved an excess on premiums
of about 100000 yearly.
1t is stated as a fact that no final
determination has yet been made by
the companies to raise rates in WASH
ington, although wise insurance men
and those speaking with authority
have predicted that at least a Is per
cent increase would be made in this
state, inside of 80 days.
The valued policy law provides that
the company shall, where there is
total loss, pay the full amount named
in the policy. Thus a man may insure
his store for $4,000, deplete his stock
and if it burns down the company has
no alternative but to pay the full
amount Of the policy. 1t is claimed
to be a fact that since the passage,
in 1897, of the valued policy law, the
percentage of crooked fires in this
state has increased from IA to 81 per
cent, according to insurance statistics
gathered by experts.

Bloodshed on Marriage Day Results in
Breakdown of Alfonso's Bride.
LONDON, June 27.-According to
news given out by a member Of the
royal family. the queen of Spain is in
a state of complete nervous breakdown.
Immediately after the mountaineering
on her return to the palace, she had
an attack of Mysteries which appar-
emily relieved her.
After that the young queen braced
of the following week with courage.
She looked so animated that it was
hoped she had gotten over the shock
of the terrible sights which met her
eyes when she issued from the wrecked
coach and stepped into pools of blood.
But the moment the strain of constant
entertainment and attending the thou
sand and one functions of the wedding
festivities were removed, she gave way
completely to nervous prostration and
little wonder.
That is the reason why, although it
is against the absurd etiquette of the
Spanish court, the youthful royal couple
have gone to the palace of Idlefonso,
on the slopes of the Guadarrama.
