but did effective work with a left jab
and swings for Harry's body. The lat
ter was forced about the ring, and then
Sullivan let go a right-hand swing which
landed squarely on Jones' jaw. The lat
ter went down and out, and didn't re-
gain consciousness for a couple of min

head from striking the mat, Harry's nap
would have been considerably longer, for

delivered in the ring.

Kid Beebe put up a good battle against
Percy Cove of Seattle, although the lat
ter's longer reach and advantage in
weight were a severe handicap to the
former. and Cove lander the most blows

Tommy Lee of indianapolis made his
first appearance here, his opponent be-
ing Young Loughrey. Lee started off in
fine style and had the advantage of the
first two rounds. Lee landed nearly every
one of his leads, while he ceverly es-
capped more than half of the blows aimed
at him by the Philadelphian In the third
round. Lee four times claimed that he
had been hit low and at at the end of the
round declared that he was unable to
continue. Referee McGuigan exonerated
Loughrey from any intention to hit Lee
low and declared that if any injury had
been done the westerner 1t was due to

TWO KNOCKOUTS
IN THE QUAKER CITY

PHILADELPHIA, December 26.-Tom-
my Sullivan of Lawrence, Mass. started
a pair of knockouts at the matinee of
the National Athletic Club yesterday aft
ernoon. The victim of the Down East
fighter was Harry Jones of this city, who
went to sleep with his head resting on
the lower rope from a risht-hand swing
delivered by Sullivan in the third round,
while Young Erne of this city, with a
similar blow, sent Joe Galligan of Chi
cago to Sunderland In the fifth round of
the wind-up.
Young Erne. He proved to be game and
aggressive, but, like all western fighters
who come here. made play for his op-
ponent's body and showed little defense.
Galligan got in some damaging blows
with his left to Erne's stomach, but
he was wild with his swings. Meantime.
Erne boxed very artistically jabbing and
hooking Joe with his left and sending
in right swings to Galligan's jaw. In
the third round Erne knocked Galligan

advantage in the last minutes of the
round.

crowd thought that he was turning the
tide in his favor, Erne got the Chicagoan
at the right distance.
Then Erne's right swished through the
air and landed squarely on Galligans
jaw. The, latter staggered backward
and fell fiat on his back and was counted
out. It was the first knockout that
Erne has scored in long time and his
hard hitting with both hands surprised
even his admirers

When James Pilkington, president of

American crew to row in the Olympic

He will be aided by rowing authorities
from the different centers. AS the

TO ATTACK ECONOMY DAM
STATE WILL CENTER ITS DEEP
WATERWAY FIGHT THERE.
Gov. Deneen Hopes for injunction,
Which Will Depend on Validity
Of company's Lease.

Springfield, H., Nov. 6.-The dam
now In course OF construction by the
Economy Light and Power company
at the confluence OF the Desplaines
and Kankakee rivers, is to be the
point of attack In the battle Of the
state of Illinois against private inter-
ests to preserve the deep waterway
This place apparently is the key to
the entire situation.
If the state can stop the work now
being pushed by the Economy com
pany and thus prevent the creation OF
millions of dollars worth of property
rights, it is believed that other OBJ
stacles to the realization of ship
canal may be overcome with compare
tive ease.
An injunction to restrain the Econ
omy company from proceeding with
its work is the hope Of Gov. Deneen.
Whether such an Injunction may be
made to lie against the corporation
hinges upon the effect of the lease Of
state property negotiated by the iii.
nois and Michigan canal commission
ers in 1904.
This lease permits the Economy
company to attach one end of its dam
to state property and gives the cor
poration two miles of tow path to act
as levee in controlling the flow, be-
sides permitting the overflow of the
tract of land comprised in the lease.
For this right the state receives the
trivial compensation Of $4,000 to be
paid in annual installments Of $110.
Attorney General Stead is investi-
eating the lease with view of de-
Gliding It's legality. 1t is expected that
his opinion will be that the lease may
be abrogated. In this event the state
will ask for an injunction.
The only distractions now existing
in the channel OF the proposed deep
waterway are dam No. 1, above the
city of Joliet and the dam at Mar
seilles.

Lexington, KY, Nov 6.-Following
an election day arrest here Tuesday

trolman Marion Smith and W. R.
Campbell, Clyde's father, severely
wounded.
The elder Campbell, who was Re-

was arrested after he had protested
against what he termed election

R. Campbell then shot Murphy, who
returned the fire, severely wounding
his man, although himself probably
fatally hurt.
There is some difference in re-
ports as to the details of the shoot
Ing. A graphic account Is given by

tragedy. Knight said that in large
crowd at voting place he saw Off,

Campbell. When the struggle seemed
nearly over and the policeman's an
tagonist seemed to be ceasing his
resistance, he saw young Campbell
run up and strike Murphy in the face.
Murphy turend and kicked young
Campbell in the stomach. Campbell
then ran out East High street while
Murphy continued toward the police
station with his prisoner.
A little later young Campbell came
running up with a revolver in his
hand. He ran up to Murphy and
showed the pistol into his face. Muir
ply was evidently surprised at the
attack, but held on to his prisoner
Young Campbell demanded of Muir
ply that he turn his father loose, bu
Murphy refused. Just then Patrolmar
Smith came and as young Campbell
turned to see the officer, Murphy
struck him three times over the heat
with his club Young Campbell
dropped to his knees, and as he die
so the elder Campbell shot Murph,
in the back. Smith then drew hi
revolver and the shooting became
general. Smith shot old man Camp

to fire, shooting several times. H,

TELL OF WORK AT
HAGUE CONFERENCE
Mr.. cHoATE AND GEN. PORTER
ARE BACK IN NEW YORK.

New York, Nov 6.-Gen. Horace
Porter and Joseph II. Choate, two OF
the American ambassadors to the re
cent peace conference at The Hague
returned home Tuesday on the steamer
Kronprinzessin Cecilie and will go OF
to Washington in a few days to sub
NIT report to the president. Boil
Gen. Porter and Mr.. Choate expressed
themselves as being entirely satisfied
with the results of the second confer
ence. Because two of the pIincipa
propositions before the conference
obligatory arbitration and limitation o.
armaments-failed to take positive
form, Mr.. Choate said the idea pre-
vailed in some quarters that little hat
been accomplished. This view. he de
clared, would be dispelled when the
results of the conference were studied
and their far-reaching effect fully re
allied.
To Force Arbitration.
No less than ii conventions, dealing
with various phases of war, were
adopted, and the conference also de
clared in favor of many more propo
sitions, among them the doctrine o.
obligatory arbitration. One of the
principal conventions-adop unani
mously--was the proposition offered
by the American delegation through
Gen. Porter and designated "the Por
ter proposition" The convention pro
hibits the use of armed force for the
recovery of contractual debts until al
efforts at arbitration have failed The
Importance of the convention was EN-
phaSized by the fact that 1t was signeC
by every creditor and debtor nation
Article l of the convention reads:
THE contracting powers are agreed
not to have recourse to armed fore,
| for the recovery of contractual debt
claimed from the government of on
country by the government of anothe
country as due to its citizens. How
ever, this stipulation shall not appl,
when the debtor state refuses oi
leaves without reply an offer of arb
tration. or in case Of acceptance, rer
ders impossible the establishment of
compromise, or after arbitration doe
not conform to the award"
Discussing the work of the confel
ence, Gen. Porter said:
War Is More Remote.
Il think 1t will be fully recognized
when the work Of the conference
studied and understood, that IL thi
conference had succeeded in adoptin
only one of the IA conventions flnall
agreed upon it would have repaid tn
