.BURT0N's CASE
AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Motion to Set Aside VerdictaWill
Be Argued Tuesday
February 6.

Judge Witt, OF the Hastings Court, yes
terday continued the motion to set ASIDE
the verdict IN the case OF a. Chadwick
Burton to February 9Th. tho second day
OF tile next term of the court. on the
morning of that day tho argument will
be heard. AS before, Burton will be-
represented by Messrs Gilbert Is. Pol
lock and George E. Wise Mr. Minitreu
Folkes will represent the Commonwealth.
If tho motion lis ovcrruled and the
convicted man does not appeal to the
Supreme Court. lie will have to remain
In Jail six months from tho day on which
the decision shall be rendered. IF he
should appeal and cannot give bail. he
will have to remain In Jail until his case
shall be heard by the higher court, and
IL is not likely that hts case would DO
reached under six months. even though
1t should have a place on tho privileged
docket. II tho motion to set aside tho
verdict should be decided in tho prisoners
favor. a new trial would have to follow.
which would probably not take place
at tho February term of tho court, and
In tho absence OF bondsinan Burton
would have to remain In jan until his
trial. And so It happens that, in any
event, even though the other cases against
him may not be pressed. A. Chadwick
Burton will rest In the Richmond jail
for quite n while yet.

ton for buildings. equipment. and
improvements ut the institute. one
half to be paid during the present fis-
cal year and the remainder during the
next fiscal year.
Besides pointing out the needs OF tho
institute, the bill is interesting iii view
of the criticisms of the management re-
Gently made and of the fact that the re-
quest for n much larger appropriation
will likely bring this matter more point
cdly than ever to the attention of the
General Assembly. Ina lengthy pream-
bic. the bill sets forth that the rapid de-
velopment OF the institute during the
past few years has been accompanied
with heavy increase in current expense,
with no appreciable increase In income,
which increase, 1t Tx said, is largely due
TO the number and value of the new build
ings to be maintained. insured and kept
in repair; to the growing number and
cost of the teaching force required; to
larger amounts needed for the depart
ments of instruction. and for development
along other necessary lines; and to some
shifting of salaries in response to the
requirements from the Department of
Agriculture at Washington.
1t Is further set forth In the bill that
the recently constructed science hall.
with all its Equipment was destroyed
by fire; the engineering hall contem-
plated in thn last appropriation has not
been built; tho agricultural hall is un-
finished, an additional forge building is
needed; there is the most urgent need

the hope of inducing Jimmy Britt to fight
him, Joe Cans. the present holder OF the

to his new manager. Ben Selig. OF San
Francisco. telling him to hunt up Britt
he will get tho decision over hinr IL they
shall come. together In a 20-round battle
in Mechanics Pavilion in the fnthre.
Cans says that Britt cannot refuse him
a match, for. in the first place. he secured
a decision over him on a foul In Frisco.
and then, again he is willing to fight him
at 1913 pounds, weigh IN three hours before
city, but will return to the coast again in
n week or ten days prepared to ARRANGE
a match with Britt.
Cans is after light weight honors. and
Is Willing to do almost anything within
reason to gain full and undlsputed pos
session of the title which he believes is
really his.
bout With Britt falling through It is sun, I'M
derstood that he would make the same
proposition to Battling Nelson as he
makes to Jimmy Britt-namely. to meet
him at 123 pounds. weigh In three hours
before the men are scheduled to get In
the ring.
In a o0-round contest Cans thinks he
has the best of any of them, and backs
Up this belief by his recent go with Sui
Ivan.
