ATTELL WINS, BUT
DECISION IS NOT
POPULAR.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30.-Abe Attell
of San Francisco won the decision from
Harry Baker of San Francisco after
the Pacific Athletic Club tonight. sue
cessfully defending the worlds feath-
er-weight championship and the Nc
Carey diamond belt
When Referee Eddie Robinson held
up Attells glove before the $500
spectators, who had been brought to
their feet by the fierce closing rally
Baker threw up both hands and fell
face downward on the floor in hyster-
les Then followed a demonstration
at the ringside, thesspectators Kissing
hooting. groaning and surging about
the ring in protest against the de-
rected by Police Commissioners Sadler
and Hagan, fought them back from the
inclosure.
Baker, in perfect frenzy of hys-
terra. fought and cursed his seconds
in his own corner for five minutes
while a squad of policemen escorted
Referee Robinson out of the pavilion.
The crowd remained kissing in the pa
vi1ion for twenty minutes, defying the
efforts of the police to clear the place.
The betting odds were 2 to / on At
tell, and much small money was wa
gered on the short end, while thou
sands of fight followers who saw Baker
win a decision over frankie Neil wa
gered at even money that he would get
a draw.
The fight was one of the most sci
entific exhibitions ever seen here, al
though it was slow at times and
neither man bore mark at the finish.
AtteH was the aggressor throughout,
rushing Baker to the ropes again and
again, the latter returning a rapid
fire of jabs and saving himself by
clever blocking.
The only knock-down of the fight
occurred in the second round, when
Attell rushed Baker furiously Harry
met him with a terrific swing to the
jaw, which sent Abe spinning for ten
feet and onto his hands and knees. But
he was up in a moment. He rushed
again and fell from the force of a
lead he missed Most of the rounds
were a succession Of clinches, Baker
covering up and Attell trying to fight
free and uppercut Baker used his left
almost exclusively, jabbing Attelrs
head back as the latter rushed.
Fierce rallies marked the tenth and
eleventh rounds. Once both men threw
science to the winds and swung left
and right to each others jaws. The
fifteenth was the fastest round of the
fight. While Attell was protesting to
the referee Baker landed terrific
swing to his mouth. The fastest two
minutes of fighting ever seen in Los
Angeles followed, the men landing
scores of blows to jaw and body. At
tell showed Baker back into his own
corner with his forehead where the
men mauled each other until the bell
rang and they were torn apart by the
referee and seconds.
The concensus or opinion among
sporting authorities was that Attell
had won on aggressiveness and effect
iveness of blows landed, although a
draw decision might have been fair.

STRAY SHOT KILLS
A FISHERMAN.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

VALLEJO, Oct. 3o.-Instantly killed
by a stray bullet from the Marine corps
rife range on the Mare Island navy
yard, while sailing homeward to this
city, Anthony Reganopolis, fisherman,
was found face downward in his small
sailing boat which drifted ashore on
the west side of the island this after
noon. The bullet struck the fisherman
a glancing blow on the chin and buried
itself in his left lung, after passing
through the neck and seyering the Jug
ular vein. Reganopolis had been fish
ing on the Sonoma flats of San Pablo
Bay.
The spot where the craft came ashore
is directly west of the rife range,
where recruits for the Marine corps are
given lessons in gunnery. 1t is believed
that a stray bullet went over the earth
mound and struck the unfortunate fish
erman. The spot is a particularly dan
gerous one for any one sailing in the
bay and several narrow escapes have
been reported recently.
Reganopolis was SO years old and
leaves a wife and son. He has re-
sided in Vallejo for twenty years and
was highly esteemed among his coun-
trymen. His son conducts a large res
taurant here.

RIVAL CANDIDATES
HARD At WORK.

NEW YORK, Oct 3O-Snow failed to
chill or rain to dampen the enthusiasm
of thousands, who turned out today to
hear and applaud the heads of the
State tickets they hurried through
the Western part of the State, stopping
wherever possible to speak briefly and
shake hands with party supporters
Today's speeches were on familiar
lines. William r. Hearst roundly
scored the board of elections which de-
cided against the independence
Leagues candidate snd pledged free
dom from corporation control of office
holders.
During the day Republican head
quarters was considerably surprised by
the appearance of a Hearst campaign
fiier which showed the candidates
photograph and some expression of
some of his views of public affairs in
parallel columns with like recent ut
terances of President Roosevelt
State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff
later announced that he would urge the
chief executive to resent the inference
that he and Hearst were in accord on
certain matters, but at the White
House tonight nothing was forthcom-
ing concerning the political situation
in New York State. 1t was stated that
Secretary Root in his speech at Utica
next Thursday night might outline the
administrations views on the local is
sues involved. Chairman Woodruff
said:
1T is earnestly hoped that President
Roosevelt, who has to degree long
maintained position that he could
not interfere in local politics, will take
up this matter and denounce the au-
thor of the Illusion. 1t was expected
all along that some such effort would
be made by Hearst to influence voters"
Both Hearst and Hughes expert
enced bad weather on their campaign
ing tours today. Snow fell last night
and turned to rain in the upstate
counties today. Both candidates had
busy days mapped out for them.
Hughes first address of the day was
at Batavia, where he told a large aud
lence in the opera-house that his am
bition in running for the governorship
was to give the people square deal.
He closed with a plea that the people

remained open all day. These works
are the heart of the labor movement.
Disquieting signs were observed near
the works last night and today and an
adequate force of men was stationed
in the neighborhood to cope with any
emergency. The men had the day off
but work was performed in most of
the shops.
Today's issue of the Oko, formerly
the Russ, and of the Tovariskeb have
been confiscated.

against all eventualities. The police
ordered house owners under threats
of arrest to display flags during the
day and illuminations at night.

LABORERS ARE VERY SCARCE
IN EVERY PORTION OF GLOBE
Canal Commission Finds 1t Is Nearly
Impossible to Engage WOrkmen
From Other Chimes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3o.-Through
their efforts to obtain laborers for
work on the Isthmian Canal. members
of the Canal Commission have found
that there is dearth of labor in all
parts of the world. So great is the
demand for workmen in connection
with railroad building and other i'm
provements on large scale that coun-
tries which formerly have sent thou
sands of laborers to this country
monthly are now using these hands at
home.
Leroy Park, the agent for the com
mission, has been in Spain for some
months recruiting laborers. He has
found many difficulties in obtaining the
Spanish laborers, who have shown
themselves so well adapted to condi-
tions in Panama.
Many hundreds of the men he has
sent to the canal zone are writing fa-
vorable reports to their friends in
Spain and in short time Park ex-
poets to ship a large number OF work
men.

NEW STYLE OF BANK.
Scotch Plan Will BE Followed in New
Chicago Institution.

Chicago, Sept. 21.--From the ruins
of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank
will arise in the near future a new
bank, which James b. Forgan, who is
to be chairman of the board of direc-
tors, declares viii be absolutely un-
ique in this country 1t will be mod
eled on the Canadian or so-called
Scotch English plan, which eliminates
the president of the bank from the
role of the "all powerful onev that
American tradition and practice make
him. In other words, the president of
the new bank will be subject at all
times to the supervision of the direc-
torate's chairman. He will work under
a system that will insure conformity
to the principles of sound banking.
His methods Of doing business will be
scrutinized daily by Chairman Forgan.
Little or no restriction will be plac-
ed upon his authority to initiate
measures for obtaining and transact
ing business. But, after he has done
the business, his reports will have to
be submitted In detail every day to
Mr., Forgan, who, If he discovers that
imprudent measures are being follow
ed, will quickly call halt.

Eight Hour Order Of the President
PIeases Labor Leaders.

Washington, Sept. 21.--After devot-
ing considerable time to a discussion
of the presidents order directing an
extension Of the operation of the eight
hour law. the executive council of the
American Federation OF Labor finally
adjourned No details of the discus
sion We're given to the public, but 1t
is understood that there was a general
exchange of fluctuations over it. The
fact that the extension had been re-
quested three years ago was pointed
out as was also the circumstance that
1t had not been granted until the la
bor element had shown its power in
politics.
A general exposition of union labels
was decided upon for next year and
the details placed in the hands of Vice
President Morris.
It was also decided that the various
labor unions which issue labels should
be urged to make an effort to secure
uniformity in labels.
The controversy between the team
sters and the machinery workers OF
Chicago relative to the setting up Of
machinery was considered at some
length.

An OFFICIAL VIEW
WASHINGTON EXPECTS INTER
vENTloN WILL COME.
Late Advices Only Confirm the View
They Have All Along Taken of the
situation-Reconeentration win Be
the Policy of the U. s.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Advices from
Havana today only confirm the feeling
which has been entertained here that
the differences between the govern
ment of Cuba and the insurgent forces
are irreconcilable and that even if the
presidents commissioners should sue
coed in accomplishing any arrange
ment for a settlement Of difficulties in
Cuba 1t could only be temporary and
that the crisis must necessarily result
sooner or later.
Intervention, therefore, by the
United States is likely to occur at any
moment.
The officials of the war; state and
navy departments. when shown the
Havana bulletin telling of the impend-
ing crisis, would not admit the re-
ceipt of any confrmatory advlces, but
1T is known definitely that the gov
ernment officials here entertain the
view as herein stated.
1t was said today that in case OF
intervention one of the first acts of
the United States would be the adop-
ton of a policy of Recommendation but
without the horrors attending the
similar policy of General Weyler.
