SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. November %
Owen Moran. the British champion ban
tam. administered decisive defeat to
frankie Neil in this city last night. Be-
fore large crowd he beat the Californian
into condition of helplessness. and in
the sixteenth round the battle was
stopped to save Neil from useless punish
ment. He was all but out
From the first it was apparent that Neil
had met his match Moran jolted him
with short-arm blows in the very first
round. and Neil could not find any way to
stop him. In close-range work the Briton
proved superior. and in open sparring he
was equally effective.
In the sixteenth it was apparent that
Neil had reached the end of his rope.
With the crowd yelling stop it! Stop it,
the men came to the center Of the ring.
Nell was groggy, and in moment Moran
landed a savage left which brought the
Californian to his knees. He staggered
gamely to his feet, only to be met with a
hard right Then the police. seconds and
referee jumped between the men and
stopped the fight.
Moran proved his class and landed a
large amount of money for his hackers.
The betting at the ringside was 10 to Z,
with Moran favorite.

Harvard Square Packed.

Out at Cambridge there was an unusual
demonstration. Harvard square being
packed with dense mob OF students
chez ring the team and every member
thereof. 1t is felt that nothing but the
most desperate of rallies can carry the
Crimson through. and the feeling is that
rallies of this sort should be begun by
men not on the team.
On the eve of the big game criticisms
of Joshua Crane. head coach, and of the
seasons policies have ceased. because
every Harvard man. past and pre- sent,
realizes that at this particular stage
every man connected with Harvard foot
ball on or off the field. will need every
bit of encouragement he can get.
Despite the intense feeling, 1t Is a quiet
crowd in the city. most of the visitors
being content with mild reunion The
query everywhere is not What will Yale
do?" but What will Harvard do?" AS
matter of fact, neither question will
be answered until late this afternoon,
but it Is believed that the result of the
game depends more upon the form shown
by Harvard than the form shown by
Yale.

He'd me to believe. 1 have just tele-

the. government will declare martial
law at once as no serious disturbance
has occurred. 1 shall not advise such
action until It Is absolutely necessary.
As to the matter OF patrolling tho vi

the city with the regulars. that is a
procedure that may become necessary
at any hour"
The statement OF Gen. Funston set
ties the question OF the withdrawal
OF the troops. Neither Gen. Funston
nor Gov. Sparks will yield to the
pressure that has been brought to in
duce them to favor the withdrawal OF
h troops before the arrival Of the

money. Along with the "yeggmen

which to prey upon the Ihls
was @ dishonest class of grocery ped
dlers who have been working in Davi-
son and surrounding counties with
more or less success. These grocery
peddIers are not connected with any
reliable house, but take the RESPONSE
bili.y on themselves. They reached q
conclusion that II any class OF people
would take their money from the
banks and hoard IL at home Ii would
be the farmer. and SO the grocery ped
dler has started trough the country
with acheap proposition to sell grocer

been successfully worked in that sec
ton of the state. is to call on the farm-
or and take a small order at first, ask
ing merely for a dollar in cash TO help
pay his travelling expenses. In the
course of a week the grocery order ar
rives, filed to the letter with every
thing that the order contained and the
goods of a better grade than was an

was drawn into buying a second order
of the peddler, and as the goods were
cheap he was induced TO invest about

asked for $25 cash on the order and as
he proved perfectly honest in the first
instance the farmer trusted to the
honesty of the peddler a second time,
and that is where ne lost out. The
peddler took the money. assured the
farmer hat the groceries would be
sent soon, and then departed to work
his scheme on others, plenty of whom
he found.

INDIcT FATHER AND SONS.
-Four Accused us Result OF Brooklyn
Bank Failure.

John G.. Jenkins, formerly president
Of the First National bank. of Brook
lyn. and his three sons were indicted
day on charges Of conspiracy and per-
jury. This is the first indictment
against the elder Jenkins, but his sons
already had been indicted CON other
charges. They are John G.. Jenkins,
Jr., former president Of the Jenkins
Trust company: Frank jenkins. for
mer president of the williamsburg
Trust company. and Frederick Jen-
kirs. a director in these institutions.
The doors of all these institutions
were closed several weeks ago.
Tho four Jenkins had been warned
that they would be wanted in court
and We're present to be arraigned.
Their counsel pleaded not guilty in
their behalf, and bail for John G.
Jenkins. Sr.. was fixed at $4,000,
while hat OF his sons was made $4,000
as they are already under heavier
bail in other cases.
The charges against them are based
on the loans alleged to have been
made by the First National bank OF
Brooklyn and the two trust companies
to the accused men. 1t Is charged
that they engaged in a conspiracy to
ecu these funds in excess of 10 per
cent of the paid in capital stock of
the various concerns, and that reports
to the state superintendent of banks
were so falsiiied by them as to con-
ceRl the fact that the loans were
made. The Charges' OF perjury were
based on this alleged concealment.

Convention.

After deciding to hold the next
Democratic national convention at
Denver. Colo, and fixing the late or
the meeting on July z. 1908, the Dcm-
ocratic national committee, in session
in Washington, ID. c.. late Thursday
entered upon a spirited debate on the
propriety of accepting more Of the
$4,000 offered by Denver for the
convention than acrually needed to
pay the convention expenses in that
city. Tho opposition to the accept
ance of the contribution took tho
form Of a resolution by Representative
Clayton, Of Alabama, declining money
not actually needed for convention
resolution was laid on the table by a
vote of 81 to Il.
Mr.. Clayton, Representative JOHN
Sharp Williams OF Mississippi, and
Gov. Hoko Smith oi Georgia, spoke In
favor OF the passing Of the resolution.
Mr.. Smith was especially emphatic
In saying that the 100000 which had
been offered to secure the Republican
convention and refused by the Repub-
lican national committee had been
offered to and was about to be ac-
cepted by the Democratic committee,
He said the Republicans had turned
down the offer because 1t was regard
ed as in the nature of a bride and
that Democrats. In view of that cir
cumstance. could not afford to ac-
cept 1t.
Mr.. Williams spoke in a similar
vein. as also did Mr.. Clayton.
Mr.. Taggart advocated the accept
ance OF the 100000, saying it would
be needed now even worse han money
vas needed in 1900, and that at that
time 1t would have been practically
impossible to have opened headquar-
ters for Judge Parker If they had not
had the extra money secured from st.
Louis, where the convention was held.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, made a
long speech in which he favored the
acceptance OF the money.
