BILLY NOLAN DISCUSSES
A GANS-NELS0N FIGHT
Cannot Agree With Selig
on the Question of the
Mems Weight

Eddie Graney is after the next Cans
Nelson fight and made bid yesterday
Of $4,000 as a purse for the match.
He stated that he would deposit a
10000 guarantee today. Graney wants
10 hold the fight in san Francisco,
where. he declares, there is more
money for fight than in Nevada or
any other portion Of the country.
Graneys bid raises Tex Rickard, who
wants the tight as an advertising boost
Tor his mining camp OF Ely. Nevada,
by $4,000. Billy Nolan stated 10 The
call last night that he would sign
in behalf of Nelson with the club or
Individual Offering the largest purse,
provided the arrangements regarding
division OF the purse and the weight
were satisfactory. He stated that he
would prefer to have the fight held in
san Francisco. but that he would not
: sign with either Rickard or Graney
until the field was fully canvassed and
others had had a chance 10 raise the
bid He said he believed the fight TO
be worth bigger purse than any yet
offered.
SO far as the terms are concerned,
Nolan stated that Nelson would fight
at the same weight as in Nevada-l33
ringside but that he would waive the
proposition OF having Cans weigh three
times before the battle. His stipUla-
tion in this regard was made in Ne
vada as the result OF the fasco With
Herrera. when no attempt was made by
the Mexican to get down to the weight
named fn the articles. This expert
ence cost Nolan $4,000. Since Cans has
shown that he has no difficulty in max
ing 1873 ringside. Nolan says there is
no longer any necessity for more than
one weighing-fn.
In the matter OF a division Of the
purse. Selig's latest proposition OF a
winners and losers end is perfectly
satisfactory TO Nolan, and there should
be no trouble on this score. Nelson S
manager viii agree with Selig on what
ever division appears most satisfactory
whether winner take ALL 75 per cent TO
the winner and 25 per cent TO the loser
or so per cent and 40 per cent. Nolan
viii. however insist that Nelson have
an even break with Cans and that no
extra percentage be paid the coloreo
man as a champions share.
Nelson is at his home in Hegewisch
and may be sent>for by Nolan any day.
Nolan states that he may make match
for his man before July, which is the
time generally talked Of for the Cans
Nelson match. Nolan expects to return
TO England in July to carry out ar
rangements made during his recent
trip. Nelson is out OF the hospital and
is rapfdly recovering from his throat
trouble. In g telegram TO The Cali

THINKS THE AUTOMOBILE
HAS A GREAT FUTURE.
Thomas Henderson of the
Winton Factory Tells Of
Trade Outlook

Thomas Henderson, vice president OF

vice prestdent of the Association of
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
and vice president of the National As
ISOLATION of Automobile Manufacturers.
arrived here yesterday on his first visit
to the coast.
In discussing the automobile outlook
in the United States, Henderson said:
at think that the output of 1908 cars,
or at the latest the output of 1909 cars,
will supply the demand BY this I
mean that the manufacturers, as a
whole. will have developed their fac
tories to such an extent that when a
purchaser wants a car he will be able
to walk into an agency and get 1t
without having to place his name on
a waiting list. The capacity OF all the
manufacturers has been increased by
the adoption of Standardization of
parts.
when the dull time comes we may
expect to see a wonderful advancement
in the motor truck. At present all the
big factories are centering their efforts
on the pleasure vehicle, as it is called,
but in San Francisco and other places
the motor trucks, hear, are in great
demand. There are some very good
trucks being manufactured, but as
InoIS is 1dI6cI III OhI " 20 niduo out
of the pleasure vehicles than out of the
trucks not many OF them are being
manufactured.
Some of the plants that are now
turning out big cars will in a couple
of years be in a position TO build car
for $500 or less that will carry one or
two persons. 1t will be a twenty five
to thirty mile an hour car than can be
used as a runabout by business men

An unoflcial report was received
by Manager Knight Of the Ottnmwa
POSTAL Telegraph company office that
President Small of the Commercial
Ielegraphers' today ordered all the
striking telegraphers to return to
work pending arbitration.
1t was impossible to accurately YER

the Associated Press was only able to
send brief market and news report

the wires and the strike with which
1t has been battling for weeks.

1t is known, though, that Small has
favored arbitration for several days.

vised the men to agree to arbitrating
the differences with the companies, but
was not given encouragement then,

Roosevelt May Act.
New York, Sept. 27.--The first Off
cial announcement that President
Roosevelt will take some action In the
telegraphers strike was made today
by the President himself.
He announced from the White House
In Washington that he had consented
to receive the documents which strike
leaders ave asked him to consider and
he said that when these were In his
hands he would call Commissioner Of
Labor Neill into conference to deter
mine what should be done.
The Presidents declaration was re-
ceived by the striking operators here
and throughout the country with en-
thusiasm. All Of them declared that
Presidential intervention would mean
victory for them, and that the strike
would end very soon. 1t was said last
night that the documents have already
been prepared for the Presidents per-
usal and viii be transmitted to WASH
ington in the morning.
Extension of Strike Hangs Fire.
Meanwhile the resolution passed by
the New York union Wednesday call
ing out the leased wire and brokerage
operators hangs fire for lack of ma
tional sanction. President Small, who
Is In st. Louis, refused to discuss the
action, nor would he fix any date for
the order that will put the resolution
into effect.
1t is generally believed, however,
that, with the prospect Of Presidential
| interference so imminent, the operat-
ors will be permitted to work on, pend

EIGHTH OF SERIES
OF BOMB ATTEMPTS
EXPLOSION WRECKS REAR OF
MONT TENNES' PLAcE-HAND-
BOOK MAN is UNABLE TO
THROW LIGHT ON CASE.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Another explo-
sion-the ninth-was added last night
to the mysterious series of violent oc,
currences credited to the feuds be-
tween factions of Chicago gamblers.
A concussion as mysterious in nature
as its predecessors shattered the rear
windows and doorway of the Morrison
building at 1913 and 125 South Clark
street, the greater part of the ground
floor of which is occupied by the "cash
register" business of Mont Tennes the
gambler.
The explosion took place at $50
O'Clock in blind court running to the
rear of this and adjoining buildings
and opening out of the alley east from
Clark street between Madison and
Washington streets.
The court was Uttered with splinter
ed wood torn by the force of the con-
cussion from the doorway and Win
dow easements. A rickety stairway
leading up to the rear entrance of the
premises apparently was the spot at
which the explosive was aimed and
this structure was partly demolished.
The police, who reached the scene
a few seconds after the explosion.
were unable to secure any clues Of
value to the perpetrator of the act and
are as completely at sea as ever as
to the identity of the guilty person
One man, S. F. Grier, printer, who
was sleeping in his shop on the second
floor, was taken to Central detective
headquarters and questioned closely.
He was unable to throw any light on
the mystery and was released.
