SQUIRES Is WILLING
TO BATTLE SCHRECk

Ever since the facts in the Burns
VBrien fight became public Bill
Squ1res, the Australian heavyweight
champion, has been unwilling to fight
Burns. Squires and Burns were orig
inally matched to fight at Colma on
May 30, but the date Of the contest
has been changed to July 4.
Manager Coffroth, of the Colma A.
C., gave as a reason for the postpone
ment Of the fight the fact that Squires
desired more time in which to train.
But a friend of the Australian declares
that Squires is Of the opinion that
Burns is just as much of "faker" as
Jack OBrien, and therefore does not
want to fight with Burns, and Squires
has confirmed the report.
From the same source comes the
announcement that Coffroth is trying
to arrange a fight between Squires and
the winner of the Marvin Hart-Mike
schreck fight which is scheduled to
be held at Tonopah, New, on Memorial
Day. If this be true, it shows that
Squires is the man that the club mana
gers want and not Burns, although
the Canadian does claim the title of
heavyweight champion.
Pugilistic followers here think 1t is
doubtful If fight between Suuires
and schreck would prove a paying
proposition. There is little chance Of
Hart defeating Schreck, and the Gin
cinnati fighter has done little In the
ring to entitle him to a great deal of
consideration from fight fans. The
best thing Hart ever did in his pugi-
listic career was to retire from the
ring, and now he is undoing that good
act. The Louisville heavyweight, who
once claimed to be a claimant for
championship honors, is only third
rate fighter at BEST and q third-rater
In the present class of heavy weights
is mighty poor fighter.
Accordingly it will not rebound
much to Schreck's credit If he sue
ceeds in defeating Hart. The latter
received a decision over Jack johnson,
the colored heavyweight, but, it is a
fact that the man from Louisville was
badly used up in the contest. r.

COST PILED UP.
North Carolina Started With $4,000
and Spent Over 100000.

Raleigh. y. c., Feb. -(SpeciaD -
The experience of North Carolina in
Keeping with that of many other states
has been that public buildings usually
cost more than the original appropriate
tons, and consequently that it is not
safe to figure on these appropriations
as sure bases of expense to the state.
This state has more than three million
dollars invested in public buildings
and almost invariably the cost has
exceeded the estimate
North Carolina has had but two
capital buildings. The second (and
presently was begun in 1893 and COM
pleted in 1910 and while the original
appropriation for its construction was
$4,000 its final cost totaled $3.50 6S415
In providing for the second capital
the General Assembly thought that
100000 would replace the former capt.
tai which had been burned IN sub
stantially the same form and din"n
sions. but with improvements that
would make II a modern building. The
commissioners authorized to do the
work had longer ideas. They planned
building of stone construction On a
Grecian model. aud they found that
the appropriation would be barely suf-
ficient for the foundations. ANA cX-
pended the whole Of it for that pur-
pose. The General Assembly rcluc-
family fell in with the plans Of the
commissioners and supplied the funds
necessary to carry on the work. The
result was a capital building that was
for so years the finest in the South.

tiles are most reserved on the subject

French projects. instructing them that
contracts for the leasing of churches,
offered by the parish priests are ac-
c2ptable, with notifications. provided
they do not violate the rights of the

waiting to see the effect of the circular
before interpreting it's true meaning,

minimum is insured the Holy See will
tolerate the situation. The officials Of
the Vatican are rather satisfied with
NJ. Brands circular, considering it to
be step towards pacification.
