Nelson Loses
To Jimmy Britt

San Francisco, Aug. Jimmy Britt
of San Francisco gained the decision
over Battling Nelson of Hegewisch,
H., at the end of 20 rounds Of as fast
and pretty fighting as has been seen In
San Francisco in nYd .-@pSs. At no
time was either man in niger Of
knockout until near the end Of the last
round when Brltt's right and left
swings and uppercuts, which ne landed
one after another at will on Nelson's
face, all but put the Dane down and
out.
The crowd was one of the largest
ever seen about an arena in San Fran

cause of the belief that the new board
of city supervisors will hereafter put
the lid on professional pugiilstic en-
counters. Complimentary tickets TO
the fight were rendered the supervisors

Roosevelt Idea.

Madison, Wis.-Taking issue with
President Roosevelt on the desirable
ity of raising large families, Professor
Edward A. Ross, head of the sociol-

state university, yesterday told his
class that restriction in the birth
rate is a movement which at the bot
tom is salutary, that evils in its train
appear to be minor. or transient, or
self-limiting, or durable"
Professor Ross is himself the father
Of three children.
After declaring that restriction in
the birth rate was salutary, Professor
Ross, anticipating widespread opposi-
ton to such an assertion, added
II take my stand with those who
hate famine, war, sabertoothed com
petition, class antagonism, degradation
of the masses, wasting of children,

men.

more than three regarded as a public

FREE MAN
GREAT TRIAL OF UNION
MINER is ENDED.
FREEING OF THE FIRST DEFEND.
ANT AT BOISE THE CAUSE
OF MUCH REJOICING.

Boise, Idaho, July 3O.-Into the
bright sunlight of a beautiful Sab
bath morning into the stiffness of a
city drowsy with the lazy slumber
of summer Sunday, William d. Hay
wood, the defendant in one of the most
noted trials involving conspiracy and
murder that the country has ever
known, walked today a free man, ac-
quilted of the murder of former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg.
The probability of a verdict of ac-
quittal in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader of
the Western Federation of Miners had
been freely predicted since Saturday,
when Judge Fremont Wood read his
charge, which was regarded as strong
ly favoring the defense in its interpre-
tation of the laws of conspiracy cir
cumstantial evidence and the corrobo-
ration of an accomplice who confesses
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event of HaywOod's acquittal the
state would abondon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer
president of the federation, and George
A. Pettibone of Denver.
Application has been made to Judge
Wood to admit Meyer and Pettibone
to bail, and it was said that in the
case of Meyer, against whom the state
is admitted to have it's weakest case,
n
be unexpected.
Not the least interesting of the COM
ments made upon the verdict was that
of Harry Orchard, the self-confessed
murderer of Governor Steunenberg,
and the witness upon whom the state
chiefly relied to prove it's claim of
sinister conspiracy by the Western
Federation of Miners. When told at
the state penitentiary that Haywood
had been acquitted, Orchard said:
We'll, | have done my duty. l have
told the truth. l could do no more
am ready to take any punishment
that may be meted out to me for
the better"
1t was after being out for q hours
that the jury, which at first had been
divided eight to four, and then seemed
deadlocked at ten to two, finally came
to an agreement shortly after the first
faint streaks of the coming de
showed gray above the giant R4d
which wall Boise to the north
east. The weary, snow-beardedl-pa, 4
bailiff, who had kept an all-night .vigA
before the door of the juryroom, was
startled into action by an imperative
knock from within. Events moved
rapidly after this, and when at last
the principal actors in the trial had
been gathered into the courtroom at a
few minutes before o'clock the white
envelope handed by the foreman to
the Judge was torn open and the YER
dict read.
