SQUARE OLD BOB.

Philadelphia, June 15.-The story that the case of the Tuxedo A. c. would be taken to the supreme court created a sensation in boxing circles In this city yesterday.
 It was the first definite statement given out by the clubs officials since Governor Pennypacker stepped in and called of the Burns-Fitzsimmons bout. Now the public knows what to expect and is anxiously waiting for the decision.
 Should the latter be favorable 1t would be a great boom to the sport In this state. William I. Schaefer of Delaware county. in which the Tux edo A. c. is located. is one of the counsel for the club and is also su- preme court reporter.
 Tommy Burns yesterday demanded and received his share of the clubs forfeit money. amounting to $500.
 The club also wired Bob Fitzsim- mons, asking him if he wished It to pay him his forfeit money Of s5O0. Bob promptly wired back:
 Don't send me forfeit money. want to fight and not to travel around the country claiming forfeits, especially as the men connected with the Tuxedo club have always treated me very fairly"

CANS AND LEWIS.

Philadelphia, June 15.-Harry Lewis and Joe Cans will clash at the National Athletic club tonight in what Is expected to be one of the fastest battles ever held between lightweights in this city. The men will meet at catchweights. which will give Cans a decided advantage.
 Lewis. by his work against Willie Fitzgerald. Willie Lewis. Jimmy Gardiner. Adam Ryan. and. in fact. almost every frst-class lightweight in the country. has placed himself in the front rank Against Cans he will receive his final tryout-
 If Cans vas going on the level with Willie Lewis in New York. the dope for the bout here tonight would give Harry Lewis the shade. Harry easily outpointed Willie. and Willie had things his own way with Cans But the willy Joe and his manager.

CORNELL MAY NOT ROW.
Courtney Dissatisfied Over Course Al
 lotted to His Varsity Crew.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 15.- There is serious doubt if the Cornell crew is to be starter in the varsity race. Certainly the crew will not row unless there is a change made in of stewards. Coach Courtney said positively yesterday afternoon that unless something was done to make No 4 course better they would lcok in vain for Cornell crew in the race.
 The trouble is that the lane as laid out brings the crew in No too close to the pier. The courses are de- signed to be fifty feet apart, and so they are. but course { takes in the pier. which is thirty feet across. The crew that had to go so close to a pier would be delayed to such an extent that they could not hope to win in a close race.
 Yesterday morning when the Cor nell crew rowed over the course in company with the other boats of the squad. Courtney. as usual, took the path that his boat will have to use If it starts in the race. The she'll was caught in the peculiar eddy that swirls out from the bridge and twisted about so that it was many minutes before the men could get going properly again. After the crews got back to the float Courtney said:
 T certainly will not stand for that. There is no reason why the courses should be laid out in that manner. I hardly know what to do. Probably I shall call the attention of Judge Irvine of Cornell. who is one of the stewards. to this and see what they purpose doing. The self same thing caused us to lose a race against the Yale freshmen here on the Hud- son about eight years ago. The Cor nell crew had to go so close to keep on the course that although we vers a length ahead when we started un- der the bridge we were behind when the crews came out It was solely because of the eddy. We do not pur- pose to do this again"
 Judge Irvine of Cornell last night wired to Manager Wise of the crew. offering to help square the course difficulty. Irvine is one of the board of stewards.
 Besides the trouble over the course there is an entanEiement over fhe tides. It Is understood that the tide will he full height at $40 o'clock on the day of the race If this Is SO. the oarsmen cannot understand how it will be possible to TOW a race for the fours in the midstream twenty min utes later. Coach Ten Eyck of the Syracuse crews said yesterday that he could not figure 1t out So that sl- together there is 10 very general sat isfsetion over the preliminary ar rzngeuentA

John J. Little went to Sanford, Me. Monday. Tuesday night he wrestled with Peter Banhon in that town for $250 a side. Bannon had previously beaten him in Lawrence in two falls, and had also trimmed Harvey Parker. The comeback was at Sanford Tuesday evening, when Little gathered two falls in three and took the cash and disappointed Ban mons retinue of faithful followers. Little expected when he left Brock ton that the game would fall to him, as he didn't consider Bannon's abili- ty anything surprising when 1t came to a real showdown.

HIS HONOR WRITES
TO DEAR JIM.
Schmitz Tells of Glasgow
and It's Ways in His Own
Pure and Simple Style
HOPES TO COME BACK

Dear Jim" has received and is show
ing to his friends letter signed e
+. Schmitz" and dated a Glasgow on
October FL
1t is full of information which will
doubtless do much to clear away GER
tain evil thoughts that have been
haunting San Francisco Of late In
the very first paragraph his Honor as
serts that Glasgow has about 500, 900
inhabitants in the city proper, and
about 100000 in the small towns in
the outskirts"
The second paragraph goes deeper
into the matter and contains his Hon
ors personal observation that the
street cars in Glasgow are propelled by
the overhead trolley system. Later on
he adds dramatic touch in the state
ment that the poles are placed in the
center of the streets
Paragraph three gets the reader to
the river and the information is given
that 1T used to be two feet deep, but
is now twenty-five feet deep. The cost
was s25,0o0,0oo At this point his Hon
or's pen gives Dear Jim and the other
members of the board. the benefit of
thought. 1t is this: IF California
would only treat her Sacramento and
other fine rivers in the same manner,
what great source of revenue-to the
State-theyf would be-"
Schmitz has investigated Glasgow
thoroughly and the wisdom which is
condensed in these observations leaves
no doubt that it was a good thing to
send him away
The streets of Glasgow are narrow
and crooked" he remarks, and as Dear
Jim" reads the rest of the board lis
ten attentively, not to miss anything
No building in Glasgow is allowed to
be erected at greater height than 100
feet. One hundred feet is the limit no
matter how wide the street"
Just at this point the letter ends
that is the typewriter copy does-so it
will be necessary to get the rest of
the facts about Glasgow out of Bae-
decker.
There is a final line in which his
wandering Honor hopes ito return we'll

FIGHT FOR PLACE
ON COMMISSION.
Judge Seawell Must Decide.
on Which of Two Dates
McKenzie's Term Began
CASE GOES ON TO-DAY

Whether John D. McKenzie's term OF
office as State Harbor Commissioner
dates from March Is, 1902, when he
was given his original commission by
Governor Gage or whether 1t dates
from February IA, 1908, when Gov
ernor Pardee issued second commls-
sion to him after ratification by the
Senate of the former appointment, is
the question which Judge Seawell is
called upon to decide in the hearing
OF McKenzie's application for an IN
junction to- prevents Senator john U.
Mattos Jr. from taking his seat as
member of the board under his recent
appointment by Governor Pardee.
The legal battle. which will deter
mine the present personnel of the COM
mission was opened yesterday morn
ing in Judge Seawells court on the
hearing of the ORDER directing the Har-
Dor Commission and Mattos to show
cause why an injunction should not
issue preventing the latter from assum-
Ing any of the duties OF the ONCE TO
which he lays claim. Mettos is repre-
sented by Attorney Charles S. Wheeler,
while Garrett McEnerney appeared as
counsel for Mckenzie. Prior to the
argument of the case Wheeler filed an
answer in open court to Mattos' COM
plant, on which the temporary re-
straining order was issued, denying the
allegations of that complaint and
charging that Mckenzie was attempt
ing to determine the legal title to the
office through an injunction suit in
stead of through the medium of quo
warranto proceedings
Mckenzie first received his appoint
ment as State Harbor Commissioner
from Governor Gage on March Is, 1902,
vice Rudolph Jerrold Jr, whose term
had expired. He was given his COM
mission at once, but the Senate was
not in session at that time and it was
not until February s, 1903 after Gov
expired, that the appointment was
legally confirmed Governor Pardee fol-
lowed this confirmation by issuing to
Mckenzie a second commission, dated
February IA
On the ground that McKenzie's four
year term of office dated from the time
of the original appointment and that
his own act was merely a legal incl
dental which in no way affected the
length of the term. Governor Pardee
appointed Senator Mattos on October 20
to the position, claiming that McKen-
zie's term actually came to an end on
March 10 of this year When a special
meeting of the Board of Harbor Com
missioners was called few days later
Matros was declared seated just five
minutes before Mckenzie appeared
with Attorney McEnerney. who served
summons and restraining order on
the board
McKenzie's contention that his term
does not expire until February IA, 1907,
is based on the ground that his ep-
pointment by Governor Pardee was to
succeed himself Mattos claims that
this contention is without foundation
and that the commission issued by Gov
ernor Pardee was intended to be only
a record OF the fact that the former
appointment and commission of Mo
Kenzie had been ratified by the Senate
The. case was continued until 10 O'Clock
this morning.

ALv|N MAKES BIG
MINING DEAL,

One of the most important deals in
copper mines that has been effected
lately was closed on November at
Elko, New, when c. D. Calvin, a we'll
known Oakland mining engineer and
expert, purchased the Uncle Sam group
OF mines in the northern part of White
Pine County. Calvin paid $4,000 for
the property. He has formed a syndi-
cate known as the Copper Basin Mining
and Smelling Company, in which he
has interested New York and Boston
capitalists.
The Uncle Sam group was formerly
owned by r. E. and Charles Skaggs and
A. ]. Burke of Elko For the last four
months Calvin has been developing the
property, together with several East
ern experts. Calvin thought so much
of 1t that he interested the Eastern
financiers, with the result that the deal
was quickly closed.
Active work will begin on the mines
Immediately. Calvin will have charge
of the development 1t is understood
that the New York and Boston men be-
hind the deal will spare neither trouble
nor expense in working the rich mines
Calvin expects the property to return
wonderful results.
Deposits in the Uncle Sam group are
found in. natural basin 1900 feet in
width, between porphyry dikes which
evidently brought the mineral solutions
to the surface. The ore has been quar-
ried directly from the surface cuts and
has averaged S.s3 per cent copper and
1888 in gold and silver, as reduced at
the Salt Lake smelters.
Calvin has had much experience in
mining in Northern California and Ne
vada 1t was he who first determined
the extension of the Shasta Copper Belt
north of the Mountain Copper Company
on Iron Mountain in 1899. The mine
proved wonderfully rich one and was
subsequently sold to Thomas Lawson
the Boston financier, for 81 900, 000 the
title passing directly from Calvin to
Lawson.
Calvin is busy at the present time de-
veloping the Highland Nevada group of
copper mines at Bullion, twenty-eig
miles distant from Elko. Many of the
experienced Nevada miners who have
recently visited this property are con-
vinced that it has great future
The mines which Calvin and his as
sociates have just acquired were dis
covered about eleven years ago by Rob
ert e. Skaggs. At that time copper was
practically unknown in Nevada Today
the famous Ely mine said to be one of
the richest of it's kind in the world, is
working full blast not sixty miles away
from the spot that the first copper de-
posit in the sage brush State was To-
Gated.
