CANS STILL CHAMPION
 OF THE LiGHTWEIGHTS
He Defeated the Boer UnhoIz in the Eleventh Round.

San Francisco, May 14-Joe Cans, the lightweight champion. added another victory to his long string to- night by deefating Rudolph Unholz, the rugged Boer, from South Africa, in the eleventh round.
 The fight was Cans all the way through. He systematically beat down Unholz and the referee interfered in the eleventh, as Unholz was then practically knocked out. Although Cans held the fight safe at all stages, he had no easy time in solving the awkward defense of Unholz and over coming his natural stamina.
 The first knock down occurred in the fourth round, Cans whipping in terrific left uppercut to the point of the chin. Unholz got up promptly and came back full of fight. Although willing at all times to mix it, he was never afraid of the clever Cans, and his wild efforts were mostly unavail- ing.
 In the seventh round Cans knocked Unholz down with a right uppercut to the chin. One of the latters seconds losing his head, tossed the towel into the ring. and quickly crawled through the ropes. Unholz got up promptly and made a wicked attempt to strike his second. who quickly crawled back outside the ropes and the fight went on. From this time it was only question of how long Unholz would be able to stand the punishment Cans was sending in with both hands.
 In the tenth round he sent the Boer to the floor again and he got up dazed and unsteady. The unequal contest was prolonged into the eleventh round when with a series of short arm jolts Cans sent the willing but awkward Boer down with a wicked uppercut to the chin. Unholz got up completely blinded and unable to see his opponent Cans seeing the condition of Unholz humanely stood aside and Referee Welch stepped in and gave the deci- sion to the champion.

THREE BANDITS SECURE
 PAYROLL OF A MINE
They Are Being Pursued Through New Mexican Mountains By Men and Bloodhounds.

Fl Paso, May, 14.-Pursued by men $35O00 of loot in thelr possession are fleeing through the rugged mountain passes north of French, a little sta tion eighty miles from East Las Vegas N. NJ, on the Santa Fe railroad, in an effort to escape the clutches of the law.
 At French late this evening, they broke down the doors or the depot, bound and gagged the station agent and special guard. and blew open the safe. took the money and rode away, leaving their victims helpless.
 A tramp wandered into the station half an hour later, and released the almost unconscious men and gave the alarm. News of the daring robbery was wired to every town in the neigh borhOCd of French, and a special train bearing thirty deputies and fifty horses left East Las Vegas in half an hour hot on the trail of the fleeing bandits. A special with four men left Dawson also, and a message was sent to the territory penitentiary at Santa Fe for the bloodhounds which were brought through as fast as a special engine and car cold carry them.
 The stolen money was sent from Albuquerque this morning on Santa Fe train No. 10, to pay the miners at Dawson. Only a branch road leads to the mines and a special transfer of money is necessary at French. A special guard, heavily armed, accom- panied the treasure. Upon leaving the train at French, he went inside the station, and placed the money in the

PAPER TRUSTS SIDE
 OF WOOD PULP INQUIRY
A Claim That the Business Has Been Falling Off.

Washington, May 14-George c. Sherman, treasurer of the St. Regis and Taggart's paper mills, and presi- dent of the Brownsville Paper com pany, was the first maker of paper to be examined by the select committee Investigating the wood pulp and print paper question.
 sherman stated that in recent years the price of pulp wood had increased about $7.50 per cord. The net profits of the St. Regis company for March of this year. he said, was $6.75 or about s7 per ton for paper. This month, he said, the company had operated but four days a week, owing to lack of or ders.
 John Norris, representative of the American Newspaper Publishers As sociation, was on the stand a part of the day and presented documents to show that the prices of skilled labor in Canadian mills were as high as those paid by American mills.

The Passage by the Lower Branch of the
 VreeIand Bill
The Democratic Members Refused to Take Their Own Medicine--The Bad Prospect of any Completed Cur rency Legislation at This Session.

Washington, May 14.-The Vreeland currency bill, agreed upon by the re- publican caucus today was put through the house under a special rule by a vote of 1S4 to 145. Fifteen of the so o-called insurgents of the ma jority party voted with the democrats, who went on record solidly against the measure.
 The closing moments of the debate were replete with excitement. Repub- lican enthusiasm. was caused by the refusal of a great majority of the democrats to go on record for the Williams bill which had been offered by MT Kahn of California, as a sub stitute for the Vreeland bill, in ac- cordance with a well laid plan of the majority leaders to ascertain where the democrats stood on a proposition, which, it is claimed by several, was supported by Bryan. Ninety-three democrats voted present which aroused the republicans to a high state of hilarity at the expense of the minority. Only a handful of demo- crats had the temerity to vote aye" or mo-
 The action of Mir. Kahn was due to the refusal of MT. Williams to present the bill as, a substitute, which under the rule he was specifically author iZed to do.
 As soon as the bill reaches the sen ate MT. Aldrich will call a meeting of the committee on finance to consider it. It is expected that the committee will vote unanimously to amend the house measure by striking out all af- ter the enacting clause and inserting the provisions of the bill which was passed by the senate. It is not doubted that the senate will approve the action of the committee. The eff feet of this course will be to send both the Vreeland and Aldrich bills to conference.

THF MARYLAND WINNER
 OF THE TARGET TROPHY
The Belief of the Sailors of the Cruiser Is Officially Confirmed.

San Francisco, May 1.-The an- nouncement that the armored cruiser Maryland of the Pacific fleet had been awarded the target practice trophy for first class ships brought much joy to the sailors on board that vessel who were impatiently awaiting official con- firmation of their belief that they had won the trophy in order that the long planned and elaborate celebration might be held.
 The cruisers of the Pacific fleet pre- ceded the battleships in practice at Magdalena Bay After the wonderful record made by the Maryland it was predicted all along the coast that none of the heavier ships from the east would be able to match the scores and speed attained by the gun crews of the cruisers.
 When the practice of the battleships was ended, however, it was rumored that the Illinois had a good chance to equal the Marylands record under the percentage allowances prescribed in the trophy awards. It was stated that the Alabama was very close to the Illinois although no announcements were allowed to be made by the off cers of the Atlantic fleet.
 The Illinois has had the trophy pen nant ever since the practice a year ago. Both the Illinois and Alabama are equipped with thirteen inch guns f,, ha fv, hof The 1arolGf of the Maryland are eight inch.

ITS NOT THEIR FUNERAL.
Say Defendants in Union Pacific Mer
 ger Suit.

Salt Lake, May 14.-Jacob Schiff and OEo Kuhn, who are defendants in the so-called anti-merger action brought by the government under the sherman law against the Union Pa cific railroad, and others. today filed answer in the federal district court. All the defendants have now answered except the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern roads. and from these no answer is expected.
 Schiff and Kuhn admit many of the facts recited in the complaint, but they deny the charges of conspiracy and combination in restraint of com- petition between the Union and South ern Pacific or any other lines engaged in competitive traffic. For the req son that they resigned as directors in February, 1906, Schiff and Kuhn maintain that they should not have been made defendants in the suit.

He Declines to Be::Delegate From Oregon, Instructed for Taft.

Portland, May 14.-Oregon's eight delegates to the national convention were instructed for Taft today in the state and congressional district conven- tions. The three conventions were ab- solutely in control of the Taft people under the management of Senator Charles w. Fullon's friends.
 Late in the afternoon, after the convention had passed resolutions in- structing for Taft, Senator Bourne wired from Washington urging that the delegates be instructed for Roose- welt and stated that if otherwise in- structed, he did not wish to be a del egate.
 Two efforts were made to have the name of Roosevelt substituted for Taft in the instructions to the dele gates and to substitute Hughes. Each of these motions was voted down.

New York, May 1.-The list of se- curities dealt in on the stock exchange had a more thorough exploitation to- day than on any other occasion during the extended advance that has occur red. This was done by the process Of TO- tation which passed from quarter of the list to another. using as a sus- taining effect the advances in stocks. which were newly bought to sell stocks previously taken on and ad- vanced. The days turnover was. in consequence, larger than on any day since the middle period of last year.

DEFEAT OF THE BRYANITES
 IN MINNESOTA MEETING
The State Convention Would Not Accept the
 Peerless One as Second Choice
In Spite of Their Previous Threats His Followers trained From Carrying the Matter Up to the Den Convention.

St. Paul, May 1.-The democrats of Minnesota today formally endorsed Gov. John A. Johnson as the presiden- tial candidates and at the same time, by a vote of 772 to 166 refused to de- clare in favor of Bryan as a second choice.
 The followers of Bryan did not car ry out the threat which they had so often made during the last ten days that they would bolt and hold a rump convention if their contests were de- feated before the committee on ere dentials, or if they were not able to secure a partial endorsement of their leader. They made a sturdy fight for their man, but when they had been overwhelmingly defeated, they remain ed quietly in their seats and made no motion to leave.
Arizona republican., 1908-05-15

Several days ago they had gone to the length of leasing a hall two squares from the auditorium in which the convention today was held for the purpose of endorsing Bryan and nam ing contesting delegation to Denver. The hall was ready for them today, but none went near it.
 The Johnson men were generous in their victory and declared in the plat form that while they entertained "an affection for and a confidence in the integrity and ability of Bryan" they believed that Johnson was better call culated to bring success to the demo- cratic party and was first entitled to the support of Minnesota
 The convention paid flattering tri- bute to Johnson and the enthusiasm for him was unbounded.

On Which the Torpedo Boats Will
 Set Out Today.

San Francisco, May 1.-The tor pedo boat flotilla, under the command of Captain E. N. Freeman, will leave early tomorrow morning for Sacrament to, arriving there at p. m. Five days of solid entertainment have been pro- vided' for by the reception committee of the capitol city, the members of which and Mayor White, will meet the officers of the fleet upon it's ar rival.
 This will be the first time any ves- sells of the navy have gone so far in land in California, although the navi- gation of the river is expected to be accomplished without difficulty, the un- usual event of which is attracting con- siderable attention. Sacramento is 125 miles from this harbor.

The result announced includes a computation of the final merit of the vessels of the battleships class which engage in target practice; that is to say, all the vessels having turret guns. The vessels having S5 per cent or more of the score of the trophy winner are called star ships and are as follows in the irder of merit: The Illinois, Ken lucky, Virginia, Alabama, Connecticut, Tennessee.
 The standing of the remainder of the vessels is as follows: Vermont, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Rhode Island, Washington, Kearsarge, New Jersey, Georgia, Kan sas, Missouri, Maine and Ohio. The results of the competition of the crui- ser gunboat and torpedo boat classes have not been computed.

WHERE BUSINESS MEN
 MUST WORK ON SHARES
The Wages of Labor in Oklahoma to
 Be Based on Employers Profits.

Guthrie. May 1.-The house ac- cepted the senate bill demanded by the union labor people of the state, which is remarkable in that it pro- vides that business concerns must re- port their business in detail to the labor commissioner and give the lat ter absolute power to fix wages.
 A scene was enacted on the floor when Boyle, legislator and represen- tative of union labor, threatened the members with defeat at the hands of the unions if they failed to support the bill.
 Under the bill wages shall be based on the profits of the employer with arbitrary power in the hands of the commissioner.

LOCAL OPTION AND TAFT.

Spokane, May IA dramatic and unexpected feature of the Washington republican state convention today was the adoption of a local option plank, by a vote of 506 to 25S.
 A minority report, signed by one fourth Of the 37 members of the plat form committee, declared: This con- vention records itself in favor of a reasonable local option bill to be enacted by the next legislature" It was adopted with loud cheers. The convention endorsed Taft.
