Prize Ring Against Jack johnson
at Philadelphia Last Night.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 1s.--Jack
johnson stopped Bob Fitzimmons in
the second round Of a six-round boxing
bout before the Washington Sporting
club last night. Fitzimmons did not
show trace Of his former prowess,
and it is probable that johnson could
have stopped him in the opening round
If lie had cared to. The blow that put
Fitzsimmons out was light right to
the jaw. The old man fell to the floor
ana as he made no attempt to rise the
referee stopped the bout. The kissing
which usually follows knockouts Of this
character, was lacking, the spectators
eyidntly taking compassion on the for
mer pugilistic star
Referee keenan, refused to act in the
ring because he had heard that Fitz-
simmons had badly sprained arm.
The manager Of the club then entered
the ring and watched the uneven match.
In the opening round Jackson tap
ped Ntzsimmons when and where he
chose but lie latter was unable to land
his famous counters.

COURTS OF justice.

In the Oregonian of Sunday
appeared an article on court re-
form by Judge Frazer. The ar
ticle is appropos and suggests
many things regarding courts.
A court should be place where
justice, above all things, is dis
pensed, but too often there is a
miscarriage Of justice in the
very place where it should be
found.
1t is hard to have to say, but
it is true, that people generally
are becoming wary OF what is
termed law. They are not so
lnuch afraid O. justice as they
are of the technicaiities of the
law. Time and again we have
observed what appeared, and
undoubtedly was the cause of
justice defeated in the courts on
account of what in legal phras-
eology is termed ''technicali-
ties"
Too much 'technicality" is
certain to defeat a just cause,
presented by an honest and con-
scientious attorney. Instead of
an honest presentation of a
case liz the higher courts in the
land, and we have them parti-
cularly in mind. there is too
much diamond cut diamond"
practice and the merits of the
case from a broad and ccm-
nonsense point of view is lost
sight of.
