DENVER, May 23.-H. G. Fisher,
president of the Denver Christian Cit
izens' association, yesterday issued a
long statement in reply to the state
ment issued last night by Gov. Buch-
tel, regarding the power of the gov
ernor 10 stop prize fights. After re-
citing the history of the controversy
between Gov. Buchtel, and the Chris
tian Citizens, Mr.. Fisher says:
''Our only purpose is to secure the
enforcement of the laws. We have
no desire to continue n profitless dis
cussion. Long ago we gave up hope
of prevailing upon the mayor, the
sheriff or district attorney. Why they
remain inactive the general public Is
well aware. But we still have hope
in Gov. BuchteI, even though he has
not once during the controversy ex-
pressed word of sympathy for the
present movement. His silence is
amazing; his fellow Christians are
grieved at his evasion of the direct
question of the enforcement of the
law. May God open his eyes to the
true situation of affairs

Banquet Of
the HOboes
Novel Entertainment in
Chicago-I00 Willies
There

CHICAGO, May 23.-The hobos
banquet, given by the Brotherhood
Welfare association at the Windsor
Clifton hotel last night. was a huge
success despite several little draw
backs. such as the non-attendance OF
II Washington Flat, the toastmastdr
who was driven out of town early in
the afternoon by the police, and the
departure of Philadelphia Jack and
! the Dancing Kid for San Francisco
before the beer was served. They
explained that they had to catch the
l11:15 "on the" freight.
DR.. Ben L. Heltman and his aides
in the new organization had searched
the highways and byways for rep
resentative gathering of hobos and
buns and beggars. and they found
them. There were more than hun
dred present-some from the Bride
well. others from the municipal lodg-
ing house. Hogan's Flop, the New
York house and the barrel houses of
West Madison street.
Several incidents marred the oe-
casion, but no one minded. Fred. the
Bum, who was down for a speech on
why l hang around barrel houses.
picked up too many drinks before he
came 20 the banquet, and was found
under the table when his name was
called. "Shoestring Chase" a pan
handler. scandalized his fellows. when
he was found improving the golden
occasion by passing his hat among
the hotel guests during a lull in the
banquet.
The crowd of hoboes created a
great deal of amusement and talk in
the hotel lobby. Crowds followed
them into the cafe in the basement
and stood around to see them eat.
Some of the buns had collars and
good clothes, while others came just
as they lived in the lodging houses.
After dinner as good as a group
of bankers or merchants could want,
the long program began. Bum Mitt
Casey interspersed the courses with
big chews of tobacco. and Fred, the
Bum. insisted on singing Where Is
My Wandering Boy Tonight"
The regular program began with a
poem by Chicago Tommy entitled
The Face on the Barroom Floor" 1t
was a long poem. recited with deep
gravity, and was the story of a hobo.
"Oyster Joe, who told the crowd of
saloon loafers how he had fallen, IL
lustrating his story by drawing the
face of his lost angel wife in chalk on
the floor, and then falling dead. IT
had a mighty effect.
Philadelphia Jack Brown recited a
poem of his own composition.
John Smith. hard faced young
man with a collar on, told why the
criminal has a hard face. He said
he had spent fourteen years in pen
itentlaries, beginning his first term
at the age of IA. He said 1t was wor-
ry that made the lines.
Old Man Steers, IS years of age,
told a pitiful story of seeking work
in Chicago and how he was turned
down everywhere.
Willie, the ex-society man, told
how to reform society.
The Louisville Kid recited a poem
called "The Scale"

gone to New York on the burners.
Before the Dancing Kid left for

AS Bennett was liberal and paid the train

Little did not care whether the horse ever
started. Eventually Bennett became tired
of owningEa race horse that never raced
and ordered Corsair to be sold. At pub

races before he broke down. ~
