BRITT DEFEATED
NELSON EASILY

Harry B. Smith, of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, one of the best judges
of boxing ins San Francisco. tells the
fight:
Jimmy Britt earned the decision
which Jack Welsh gave him at the
Auditorium last night. In twenty
rounds that were, for the most part
the hardest fighting that has been seen
in San Francisco, the California light
weight outclevered and outboxed his
sturdy opponent.
For the first five or six rounds, ii
looked as though Britt would tire, but
fighting a more cautious battle than
he did at the outset, when he went like
whirlwind, Jimmy jabbed the Dane
repeatedly on the face and the body,
and Britt's rally at the very close,
when he had Nelson staggering under
the lefts and rights with which he
was showered, was a remarkable
showing, and settled all doubt as to
the man that Welsh would pick as the
victor
At the outset of the twentieth and
closing round, Britt looked tired. He
was holding, and Welsh had hard
work separating the men, but in the
last minute of action he was like an
Embossed tiger. He slashed at Nelson,
and the latter was powerless to de-
fend himself. He was by no means
near the knockout stage, but for all
that he was staggered by the beating
that he took, and glad when the gong
called the end of the round.
There were two or three rounds, in
the early stages of the fight, in which
Nelson had the better of the going.
His forte was easily in-fighting, and
he uppercut Britt with a vengeance
that made the crowd wonder whether
the San Franciscan would be able to
stay to the end.
But the Danes punching power
seemed to have diminished. At long
range he was wild at times and when
he landed Britt weathered the blows
far better than he was expected to do.
Britt was backing from start to finish,
but the Battler's aggressiveness gained
him little or no vantage. For the most
part he was walking into left jabs
and the right-hand punches that Britt
was landing, and toward the close,
strong as he has been in previous
fights, the Chicago boxer was firing.
Through it all there is one thing
that stands foremost. 1t was great
fight. There was no logging it by
either. They were fighting with VEN
geance, each determined to win, but it
was Britt's night to shine. Nelson un-
questionably has gone back, but the
surprise was the strong return that
was made by Britt.
Jimmy did not have the punch that
would settle the battle. III fact, be-
fore the fight, he had said that he ex-
rected to outlook his opponent. That
was what he did. There can be no
mistaking his ability to outclever Nell
son. He has proved it before. and he
proved last night that he could do 1t
again. @

KAPAPALA LANDS
TO BE OFFERED

Leases of a part of the Kapapala
ranch lands will shortly be offered for
sale by Land Commissioner Pratt, at
public auction at upset rentals con-
siderable in advance of the rentals
received in the past.
The Kapapala lands, so-called, occupy
an area of about 172,7S0 acres, and
have been under lease to the Hawaiian
Agricultural Company at rental of
$1,000 year. The lease expired July
L OF this year though the lessee has
a year of grace in case the land is
not leased to it again. In advertising
for new leases, about 100000 acres of
the upper slopes of Mauna Loa are
not included. The present lessee claims
that this is valueless, so it has been
decided to hold it out from the leases
offered and see if trees and other vege-
tation will not grow and perhaps give
it some value. The lease of what is
left calls for the construction and
maintenance of fence to keep cattle
out of the portion not leased.
The portions of the Kapapala lands
now to be offered for lease are about
344 acres of land known as Wailau,
for 21 years at an upset rental of $40
per annum; 1850 acres of Kapapala
extending from the steam crack of 1866
to an elevation of 1000 feet. This
leaves an area below as well as above,
which is not included in the lease. The
land below is known as the Kau Desert.
but there are small areas in it which
are eultivable. The upset rental for
this 1850 acres is $4,000 year for
u years, the lessee to fence on the
upper line and at the steam crack
The government reserves the right to
except from the lease at any time dur
ing its term any lands desired for
homestead or settlement purposes, the
rental for the whole tract to be re-
duced proportionally. Another parcel
of the Kapapala lands containing 743.5
acres will be offered for a term of five
years at an upset rental of 1880 per
annum.
A lease of 903 acres of the land Of
Mohokea is to be offered at a rental
of $2050 a year. An area of 276l
acres of these lands was formerly I'M
der lease at $3.50 per annum.

LAND FRAUDS CHARGED.
Suits for Ejectment Filed Against
Colorado Lumber Companies.

DENVER, May 10.-That a conspiracy
was fostered with the object of wrong
fully obtaining several thousand acres
of valuable timber land from the gov
eminent; that titles were acquired
through false filings by Ineligible entry
men. and that persons were induced
to settle on the claims and make mock
attempts at. cultivation and other i'm
provements-all violations of the provi-
sions of the homestead act-are the chief
allegations which form the basis of two
bills of equity filed in the federal court
yesterday, asking to have set aside the
patents to land titles held by the New
Mexico Lumber Company and the Pa
gosa Lumber Company.
An Injunction also is asked to restrain
the defendant companies from further
destruction of the forests which cover
most of the lands.
The timber properties claimed by the
lumber companies are situated in Archu-
leta county, Colorado. and their value
Is placed at $4,000. In the complaint the
court is asked to make the different per-
sons who filed claims on the lands de-
PENDANTS in the action.
A long list of entrymen who are named
as parties to the alleged fraud is pre-
sented in the complaint

Directors Arrange for New Financing

and Both Stocks Decline.

suggested that Mr.. Hartman see some Of
his friends in the steel corporation, to have
them turn out better rails. Mr.. Hartman
added that he would make a claim upon the
steel companies, but he said he thought lit
tie attention would be paid to 1t.
In a statement issued after the meeting
Mr.. Hartman described the nature of the
floating Indebtedness of the two roads and
gave an estimate of the earnings of the
two systems for the current fiscal year.
which will end June 80 next. Later in the
day Mr.. Hartman supplemented this state
ment by some further details regarding the
new financing. He said:
To Replace Floating Debt.
Il want to lay special stress on the fact
that this financing wifi not disturb the
money market, for the reason that it is to
replace floating debt. The money las al
ready been borrowed. but 1t will now be
changed from a temporary to permanent
form. For the same reason the new issues
Will not materially change the fixed
charges, for the reason that interest is now
being paid on this floating Indebtedness.
1.-THE convertible bonds are to run for
twenty years, to be convertible for the
first ten years. and after five years are to
be redeemable at 1929. The financing which
we have announced will provide for all our
requirements for at least year. 1t includes
provision for all needs of the roads, and no
further borrowing will be needed to care
for the notes of the Oregon Short Line given
to the Pennsylvania railroad in payment for
the Baltimore and Ohio, purchased last
year. That purchase, however. Is already
provided for through the sale Of securities.
The reason we are to authorize new COM
mon stock and to sell convertible bonds in
stead of issuing portion of the preferred
stock in the treasury is that stock cannot
be issued for less than par, and it could not
be put on the market at that price just now.
The convertible bond issue will be under
written, and probably formal underwriting
syndicate will be formed. 1 know, however
a man who would be willing to take the
entire issue. You can guess yourself who
the man is. The Southern Pacific preferred
stock issue will not be underwritten; that
does not need to be. Payments upon the
new convertible bonds will fall due prac-
tically at the same time as those on the
new Southern Pacific stock. The Union Pa
cifc books will close May 81

court yesterday the trial of ]. e. Walters
and Mrs. Maria Stutz and ]. p Wright and
Miss Nellie Miller. charged with registering
on board the Old Dominion steamer Berke-
ley as husbands and wives. was continued

The two women, who are little more
than girls, attempted suicide by leaping
from the deck Of the steamer Wednesday
morning when lLey saw their father wait
ing for them at the gangplank. The post
ponement was granted because of the fact
that both women are still under medical
treatment at the City Home.
Miller secured a divorce from his wife,
who was formerly Miss Greenwood,
Wednesday. This fact was not made
known to him until yesterday. The woman
does not yet know that she is legally free.
Miller has been informed by officials of the
boat that his wife was guilty Of no wrong
doing on the boat. A friend Of Miller and

MURPHY MEANS TO STICK.
III . 1S1 0 001Sx11SS ~ I1VA.
Has Already Refused to Retire in
Favor Of an Advisory Committee

NEW YORK, May 10.-The latest yarn
growing out of the efforts to bring Mayor
Mcclellan and Tammany Hall together is
that Charles F. Murphy is likely to re-
spond to the wishes Of certain individuals
that he should retire from the leadership Of
Tammany Hall in the interests of harmony
1t can be stated on first hand information
that Mr.. Murphy has no such intention.
1t can be stated also that when ex-Justice
Morgan ]. O'Brien succeeded in opening
the peace negotiations which led to the
conferences between Corporation Counsel
Ellison, acting for the mayor, and Big Tim
Sullivan, the representative of Mr.. Murphy
the suggestion was personally made to Mr.
Murphy that If he would consent to give up
the leadership, retaining the privilege of
naming half the members Of an advisory
committee to run the organization, peace
would be assured. Mr.. Murphy refused to
listen to the proposition after he had con-
ferred with the majority of the district
leaders, who advised him to stick.
