The Easy Defeat of Him by the Canadian
 Fighter
The MfH Was Seen tO Be at An End Before 1t Was Fairly Started--The AutipOdean Expla- nation of It.

San Francisco. July 4.-Bin Squires, the much heralded champion of Aus tralia. succumbed to a blow of the Canadian fist at Colma today after having been in the ring two minutes with Tommy Burns Men who witt messed the brief meeting were charit- able enough not to call him a dub" They designated him as a false alarm" who should have been pitted against d fourth rater rather than any pugilist with the slightest possession of skill.
 Nine thousand persons journeyed to Colma to witness the fight and were disappointed. It was hot day and the journey was a disagreeable one. Hundreds of persons came from other states to see the leading fighter of the Antipodes battle with the light heavy weight champion of the United States with anticipations keyed up to the highest point.
 The fight was practically ended the moment the gong sounded for the men to advance to the center of the ring. That the defensive skill of the Aus tralian was exceedingly poor was speedily attested. In ten seconds he was prone upon the mat, after a well directed right from Burns struck him flush upon the jaw. It did not have force enough to give Squires his quietus. and after taking the count

whether the fleet stays in the Atlantic or goes to the Pacific will be deter mined simply as matter of routine in the management and drill of the navy. It is part of the settled poll icy of the navy department in an ef- fort to keep the navy up to the high est point of efficiency. always to keep the battleships together. maneuvering as fleet composed of several squad rons and it isN desirable that this fleet should from time to time take long voyage.
 'The relations between the United States and other powers was never more peaceful and friendly than at the present time. and If the fleet were sent to the Pacific the facts would possess no more significance than>the further fact that three or four months later it would be withdrawn from the Pa cific. Both would merely be part of the ordinary routine of naval admin istration."

Greenbush, Wis, July 3.--Judge Landis of the United States district court of Chicago. who is spending a few days here said today that he had received numerous requests for infor- nation relative to t'ie report that John D. Rockefeller had requested permis- sIon to make a deposition in NasA- to give personal evidence in the Stan dard oil inquiry that is under way be- fore Judge Landis.

 'I have received word that the sub- poena was served on John D. Rocke- feller at Pittsfield, Mass. on afternoon of July B."

 Burns lost no time in following up his advantage. Out shot the danger ous right again and a second time the champion of Australia was on the canvass. Squires evidently had some staying powers in the fsae of his pun ishment and rose weakly and slowly while Jeffries held back Burns until his adversary was in a position tO de- fend himself. As Squires got up Burns swung a succession of rights. each one staggering the Australian until he dropped his arms. Then Burns swung his right again with tremendous force and it was all over.
 Squires was seen after the fight ana said that he had been led to believe that Burns was not a -knock-r out He had been told that Burns did uos possess strength to put a man tc sleep with a few blows This made him careless at the beginning.
 Burns said: 'T saw moving pie lures of Squires in training When [ saw how he carried himself and haN he acted I knew I would not have am difficulty in defeating him | went into the ring with the fullest ccnft- dence that I would be a winner"

The deafening roar maintained throughout the day with the burning of a million dollars worth of powder. gave away after nightfall to an exhibition of fire works by experts who lighted the skies with effects of surpassing beauty.
 Viewed from the brighter side of the holiday 1t was truly glorious. A smil- ing sun and moderate temperature brought tens of thousands to the beach the public parks and amusement re- sorts and everywhere there was noise and funmaking.
 In the background the police and hospital surgeons went grimly about their work of removing the dead and ministering to the wounded. Tonight the police are recokoning the cost in lives of the day. At late hour the list Is not complete, but il is known that the celebration cost seven lives that half a dozen persons are dying. that hundreds of others are being tTcdteu dt nOSp1tdiS TOT injuries rang from slight burns. with a possibility of tetanus developments. to bullet wounds. and lost limbs. Of the dead, three died in premature celebrations. The others were killed during the day.
 In ecstacy of patriotism Arthur Car raro rapidly discharged a revolver in his backyard. One of the bullets en- tered the head of his aunt. Mrs. AL fonzo Fucarino and she fell dead. His next bullet by design or accident killed the celebrator. Another person cele- brating sent a bullet through the brain of 1S-year-old Nimpa Gribbanti as she stood near an open window of her room dressing her hair

1 already strong with Dutch Burget and Muller for the battery, was strength ened by league shortstop and sec ond baseman from the coast. The Corbetts were a doubtful quantity but hope ran high. only to be weak ened after the second inning and hopelessly wrecked in the seventh chapter of the game, giving a final score of twelve to two.
 Tucson made a fine start with a three bagger in the second. not SCOT ing again until the sixth when only one run was saved out of a possible bunch of them. Bernard and Allen in- terchanged in the box but their team was 'outclassed and the. heavy smell termen pounded the ball wherever they pleased. In the seventh the Cor betts went up in the air entirely. per- hitting six runs against them. They fumbled the ball. made errors. and each player seemed to lack confidence in the man he entrusted the ball to. Humboldt played a fine game gener- ally, but there were several errors and two of them were apparently ridic- ulous rather than inability to hold the ball. But their talent was demon- strated. After two days of juggling the visitors are assured of a game to- morrow between Humboldt and Pres colt. for tournament profits.
 Wynkoop as umpire is a grand stand idol here as in Phoenix and Tucson.

LONDON SCOLDS OVER THAW.
Globe Thinks the Trial WIN Increase the
Hatred OF the Wealthy.
Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.


LONDON, April 13.--The Globe, CONNIE Mt
ing on the Thaw case, says the crime, which
was merely a common variant Of the eternal
problem, two men and one woman, has
been overlaid with legal embroidery and
forensic eloquenoe TO an extent utterly dis
proportionate TO its real complexity. 1t is
not too much to say that if the chief per-
sonages had been two Bowery tOughs and
a street girl instead Of two milliOnaires
and an actress the trial would hardly have
lasted as many hours as the actual investi-
cation did weeks.
Whatever the outcome for Thaw may be.
the affair can hardly help having deplorable
effects upon public opinion in the United
States. Nothing is more calculated to
destroy respect for property than the spec
taoIe OF wealth without responsibility.
leisure without wisdom and luxury without
refinement. Millions Of American citizens
upon whom the details OF the lives Of the
characters in this drama have been forced
by a sensational press will assume that
their vicious and too often disgusting amuse-
ments are the common recreation OF the
wealthy class That they would be wrong
in so thinking is nothing to the point. A
similar belief, founded perhaps on no surer
basis, was the chief cause of the French
Revolution. which deluged the land in
blood.
The Star says that the jury, after being
saturated for nearly two months with
every form Of mendacious hysteria, natur-
ally was in such a state Of mental chaos
that it could not agree either to convict
or 20 acquit. The Star goes on to say:

a decrease from the preceding year in the

The statistics relate exclusively TO crimes
referred to the courts and do not include
wounds which healed within ten days or
cases which were hidden from the police.
Crimes of blood show a decreasing ten

population. The record for criminality
IL held by Sicily, where the proportion Of
murders reaches % to every 100000 in
habitants In the province Of Girgenti.
The proportion decreases in other provinces
and falls to Is for every 10000 in Naples.
