OUR POLICE RIGHT
Corporation Counsels Opinion Maintains Disputed Spot
 Is Sidewalk.
MATTER TO BE DROPPED
Supcrnumerary Kcane Not Likely to Bring Legal Action on Account
 of Assault.

The opinion of Corporation Counsel Rogers on the matter of the Yale field dispute between the New Haven and orange police was made public for mally yesterday. The opinion bears ont in full the statement exactly as presented by this paper last week, showing that the New Haven police are in the right in the case under the law and that there is ground for ac- ton by Supernumerary Keane for the attack on him It is considered, how ever, so far as New Haven is concern cd, that with the returning of tho badge by First seleetman Main the matter will be completely dropped by the New Haven department, and it is as good as settled.
 An important point brought out in the opinion of the corporation counsel is that concerning the plot of ground in question. He maintains that this piece of land Is a part of tae sidewalk and Is therefore included in that spe- cial act of the Legislature which gives New Haven charge over Derby ave- nue. He holds that the moving of the fence of the field back makes this part of the sidewalk outside of Yale field and that 1t is simply a case of the sidewalk in this spot being wider by that many feet than in the other places which happens many times in sidewalks, Of course the orange con tention is that this spot is not part of the sidewalk but part of the field, and 1t was for an opinion on this mat ter chiefly that the matter was refer red to the corporation counsel. Although there will be meeting of the police commissioners tonight it Is probable that the matter will only be referred to generally and as a thing settled
 Inquiry was made at Keane's home last night as to whether or not ho would bring suit. Keane, a fireman on the railroad was at work, but his fa- | ther-in-law stated it was unlikely that any action would be brought

KELLY AFTER FOLEY
Commissioner Fights Petition to Construct Elevator
 Without Bids.
COMMITTEE IS DIVIDED
Majority Report Is Against Requcst-- Miller and Cunningham
 Oppose It.

There was spirited exchange of auips last night between Police Com missioner Daniel Kelly and Director of Public Works Foley at the hearing be- fore the special aldermanic committee on the granting of permission to the director to build new elevator in city hall without advertising for bids In the regular session nothing of note transpired but just as Chairman Gun ninsham was about to call for execu- tive session Commissioner Kelly arose and declared that he was absolutely against granting the permission and he told the committee that 1t was act ing contrary to the city charter and could not grant permission to buy any thing over $250 without advertising for bids MT. Foley offered to explain matters but Alderman Miller said no explanations were necessary as the committee knew what the charter sad about that matter before they started
 Commissioner Kelly then remarked that they must put q different con- struction on the charter than he did Miller informed him that he did not read far enough and the section re- garding the matter was read aloud
 dispute then arose between Com missioner Kelly and MT Foley as to wheth2r the elevator was under the head of an improvement or under maintenance of the hall. Mr Kelly declared the director could not make any improvement without specifying what 1t was for exactly. He also in- sisted on his point that the committee or rather the board of aldermen did not have the power 10 grant the exemption from advertising.
 In executive session there vas hot dispute over the matter which ended in two reports being decided upon The majority report, favored by threo of the committee is against granting the permission Tho minority report, which will be signed by Aldermen Miller and Cunningham favors giving the permission. The result will mean a fight in the board when the matter comes up.

Tie Stocky Little Boss Had All
the Better of Nelson
In the Ten Round Battle Tues
day Night at Los Angeles.
NO DECISION ALLOWED
Dane Was Knocked Down With
a Left to the Jaw.
Rudolph Saved Himself Almost
Entirely From Punishment.

Los Angeles, Feb. 6-Rudolph Unholz
had the better of Battling Nelson in a
1e-round go before the Pacific Athletic
club here last night Under the city
ordinance no decision could be given,
but there was no doubt of the result.
The Boer had all the best of every
round in the matter of blows exchang-
ed. He punished Nelson considerably
and had him bleeding freely at the
nose and mouth almost from the start.
He knocked the Batter down in the
FIRST round with lightning left to the
point of the Jaw.
Unholz seemed to be a puzzle to Mel
son, the latter was constantly on the
aggressive, but his efforts availed him
little. He led repeatedly. but Unholz,
fighting with his left shoulder, held
high to protect his head and chin, es-
capped punishment almost altogether.
The betting on the fight proved to
be somewhat of a surprise. Unholz had
many admirers and supporters, and
the prices quoted at the down town bet
ting booths were 10 to 8, with Battling
Nelson the favorite. The physical make
up of Unholz undoubtedly has much to
do with the tight betting. He is
vest pocket edition of Sandow, and a
more perfect specimen of manhood was
never seen in a local ring.

Is DANGEROUS
Rare Meat Should be Thorough
ly Cooked Before Eating.
In Order to Kill All Evidence of
the Parasite Germ.
Cooper Gives Warning to Epi'
cures Who Like Raw Steaks.
PARASITES GROW VERY FAST
Young Man Tells How to Avoid
the Troublesome Affection.

Mr.. L. T. Cooper, the man who Is
creating sensation in Topeka by the
sale of his wonderful preparations at
George w. Stansfield's drug store, $50
Kansas avenue, was interviewed
Wednesday and gave forth some very
interesting arguments in regard to
disease Of all kinds and natures, say
ing that no person could expect to
be cured of any i'll If the stomach
| were not in a healthy condition, and
that 1t was the seat of all or most
chronic trouble.
Mr.. Cooper says that most people
unconsciously abuse their stomachs
more than any part OF the body. and
If they knew the tasks that this most
put to they would wonder how it lie
that they still live to breathe.
One statement which seems strong
est was the claim that no person
whose stomach was in clean, whole
some and healthy condition. and per-
formed all the functions for which ii
was intended, should be susceptible to
disease.
In reference to diet, Mr.. Cooper
said that rare meat Is one of the
most dangerous foods for human
being to eat, as it may contain. the
egg Of a parasite. Unless meat is suf-
flciently cooked to kill this egg, it Is
taken into the stomach, where it i'm
mediately matches and grows with an
astonishing rate. It travels from the
stomach to the intestines and remains
there, growing larger each day until
1t has reached enormous proportions.
Every particle Of food which is
pa ssed into the intestines after being
II
upon by this creature SO that the
nourishment which should go to
build bone, blood and sinew in the
in dividual has most of its life-givinG
properties absorbed by this monster.
In consequence the entire system OF
broken down, the blood becomes i'm
pure, the stomach is thrown out of
order the nerves are affected and even
the mind loses its wonted keenness
and becomes dull and sluggish.
Contrary to the general belief, the
appetite is not greatly increased. 1t
only becomes irregular. SO that at
times the mere sight of food will nau-
seate, andat others the individual will
eat ravenously.
One of the sarest indications of this
trouble is q general feeling OF lassi-
tude and a Discrimination for all eff
fort, and extreme nervousness. The
individual almost invariably thinks
himself the victim of many ills and
tries first one thing and then an
other, hoping to rid himself Of an
imaginary disease
If Mr.. Cooper is right about this,
and the facts seem to indicate that he
is, the epicures who like their steaks
and chops with just the least bit of
brown on the outside, and rare all
the rest the way through, had better
think less of their palates and more
of their health.
It looks as though the rich, rare
steaks that appear so tempting and
fairly make the mouth water, will
have to go, and the raw hamburger
sandwich will be thing of the past.

AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
Statement Concerning Recent Disturb
ances in Kentucky Tobacco Districts.

New York, Feb. 5.-Relative to the
recent disturbances in Kentucky, the
American Tobacco company has Issued
q statement wherein 1t says:
at Is simply and wholly untrue that
there is any contest between the to-
bacco growers. or tobacco dealers in
Kentucky, and the socalled tobacco
trust. Where disorder has occurred
the socalled tobacco trust is the small
est factor in the purchase OF tobacco.
Where the socalled tobacco trust is the
largest . 'rchaser of tobacco there has
been no disorder nor lawlessness.
LAS a matter of fact also, the prices
now being paid for leaf tobacco grown
in Kentucky and elsewhere are very
much higher than they were ten years
ago, and their trend has been constant
~ upward since the socalled tobacco
trust was organized. %
THE socalled tobacco trust Is con-
stantly buying tobacco in Kentucky
and elsewhere, and is always ready to
purchase tobacco from anyone. wheth-
er an individual or association. that has
it for sale. It has never thrown any
obstacle In the way of the organization
or success of any OF the socalled farm
ers' associations

SHE GOES FAR FOR LOVE.
A Frontcnac Girl Prefers Forbidden
Husband to the Church.

Frontenac, Feb. 5.-Tne wedding of
Frank Zerzavie, aged 81, to Mrs. An
tone Kubena, age 81 also, will take
place next Saturday at Girard and the
bride will be accommodated from
her church imme diately.
She has been warned regarding the
standing they will occupy in relation
to the church when she marries. but
her love for the man to whom she is
soon to wed more then counteracts
her loyalty to the church and she will
cause the marriage to be consumma ted
next Saturday at Girard
The reason she will be refused COM
munion after her wedding is due to
the fact that she has been previously
married and divorced and the laws of
her church forbid another alliance
to take place during the life Of an
other husband or wife.
