dent Of the United States and secret

mated from express company's fail
ure to deliver a thousand dollar pack

has since been delivered. Apart
from this, however, no funds are
missing. The rumor is entirely
groundless, and every subscriber who
sent relief funds to San Francisco
direct should have numbered official
receipt signed by the president, comp
,troller and cashier of the corporation
In Justice to San Francisco and oul

LACEY FOR SENATOR.
CONGRESSMAN QUOTED AS SAY
ING HE MAY BE CANDIDATE
FOR PLACE,

Des Moines, Dec. 5.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Register and
Leader today says:
Representative John F. Lacey of
the Sixth district is very likely to be
a candidate for the senate whenever
Senator Allison retires. Major Lacey
admits frankly that he is considering
the matter and some of his friends be-
lieve that he has definitely made up
his mind to this end
Major Lacey talked over his plans
with The Register and Leader repre-
sentative at the White house today,
where he went to call on President
Roosevelt. He said he had no notion
Of taking an appointment. He said
he had fully determined to go back to
Iowa and practice law; that he had
"a good practice and that he never
wanted it said Of him that he was a
political pauper,' and had to have an
appointive office because he could not
be reelected to congress.
Whether he would run for congress
again two years from now, Major La.
cey said he was not determined. He
said he was being urged by many
friends from various parts Of Iowa 10
become candidate for senator and
to go after that office actively when
Senator Allison retires. He admitted
without hesitation that he would be
pleased to hold so high an office as
that of senator from Iowa. Major La
cey is understood to feel that pri.
mary law will be passed by the time
he runs for senator and that he would
win over Cummins in such a test.
"The fact that he is seriously con.
sidering the senatorship will undoubt.
edly arouse interest in. Iowa political
circles, where Major Lacey's energy
and political sagacity are well under
stood"

New York, May 2S.-Terry McGovern surprised everybody tonight by his won derfu showing against Jimmy Britt of California Tim Hurst was the referee, but as no decision can be given under the law governing boxing in this state, the spectators had to judge for themselves as to the relative merits of the men.
 Immediately after the fight both prn- cipals. Manager Harry Pollock, Referee Tim Hurst and ten others were arrested by order of Deputy Commissioners Waldo and Mathol, charged with participating in and conducting a prize fight.
 McGovern was not trained down as fine as he had been on other occasions. Britt looked to be in much better condition, and was about five pounds lighter than the Brooklyn man. Britt was very clever and shifty and dueked away from some hard swings McGovern stuck to his old bull dog style of fighting. There was great deal of clinching. holding and infghtlng, but whenever they indulged in mix-up Terry seemed to have the better of 1t. Britt landed several hard jabs on Me Governs head and face, but McGovern did not appear to suffer much from those blows.
