New York, April 2S-It required the
combined efforts Of Police Inspector
Walsh, Capts. Farrell and Reldy. and
bunch Of bluecoats to prevent a ten
round glove fight between Terrible Terry
McGovern and Johnny Summers. of Eng
land, under the auspices Of Tom
O'Rourke's old Broadway Athletic Club
tonight
O'Rourke, who recently returned from
England with Joe Rogers. the wrestler.
leased both Lyric Hall. in Sixth avenue.
near FOrty-second street, and the Am
sterdam Opera House, in West Forty
fourth street. from the same man. Then
he organized his club and wired that he
intended to hold glove fights between
some Of the leading pugilists. His first
match was between McGOvern and Sum
mers. They were scheduled TO meet in
Lyric Hall tonight at o'clock in the
presence Of members only" from whom
O'Rourke said he had received about
81, 100 in The shape Of initiation fees and
dues.
When Capt. Farrell. of the TenderIoin
station. heard that the fight was TO take
place in his precinct. he informed
o ROurke that every man who stepped
into the ring at Lyric Hail would be ar
rested. At 7:S0 o'clock tonight Capt
Farrell, a sergeant. and ten cops
marched 10 the hail, 9Jund II empty. and
learned that the scrap had been trans
feTred TO the Sharkey 4. c, in Column
bus avenue. near Sixty-sixth street.
Travel Up Broadway.
One of o'Rourke's men was left be-
hind to notify the members and their
friends OF the change in battle-ground.
with the result that at o'clock more
than 100 automobiles. cabs, and carriages
were hurrying up Broadway TO the new
scene of action.
MeGoyern. who had been training at
a Jerome avenue roadhouse for a week.
was in the basement Of the building.
with his seconds and friends, but sum
mers, who did not know where the fight
was TO take place. was lost somewhere,
and nobody knew where 10 look for him.
The hall, which is over a saloon. was
packed 10 suffocatiOn when Capt Reidy,
of the West Sixty-eighth street station.
arrived with twenty-five patrolmen. IN
spector Walsh remained on the sidewalk
while the captain hurried upstairs and
gave orders TO clear the building
you cannot hold the fight here" said
the captain to O'Rourke. as you have
been driven out Of another precinct. I
will not permit the men TO get into the
ring"
This is a conspiracy" said O'Rourke.
I've been knocked by a rival club. My
club ran all last year with no interfer-
ence. so that I cannot see why I am in
terfered with now. But I know that
have been knocked and by whom, al
though I shall not mention any names"
The police say tonight that the hight
was stopped for two reasons. One was
that McGovern was not considered fit 10
enter the ring again, and the other was
that only six-r0und bouts have been per
mitted in the local clubs since the boxing
game was revived.

How to Kill Kings.
 Dom Marnllis in IIncle Remus MagaZine


 for April
 The man in the moon, regarding the inhabitants of the earth without any con- fusing flush of :entiment, might be al- most justified in defining them as a spe- e.es who killed their kings. Eegicide has Teen going on for so many centuries that it may be said to be a human custom. To an optimistic sort of mind. passonately Interested in the development of the hu- man race along all lines, it is little de- pressing to reflect that Tn all these years there has been no refinement in king killing methods. They are killed today in the same hapnazard and sloppy manner ths.t was in vogue ages ago. This is not only distressing, but it is even strange. Warfare has developed it's ethics, com nerce has its conventions, this, that and ;'other thing is put through in an orderly banner, but the ewentieth century draws towards the close of it's first decade with cut the world having evolved any con- ventions of regicide whatever. It is inexpressively shocking to sem sitive nature to read of such messy ne-off of the king of Portugal and his son. to say nothing of that nasty affair in the Servian royal palace few years since. There was about these things nothing neat, nothing orderly. nothing artistic, whatsoever, upon which refined modern mind might QWeh Wltn the SliSlN est satisfaction With all due courtesy to the principals who stage these little dramas, that Is not the sort of enterain- inent for which contemporary taste has any relish.

ALDR|CH BILL IS
 BOLDLY ATTACKED
New Workers Oppose Measure
 on General Principles
A COMMISSION SUGGESTED
Fowler Bill Is Argued By An Editor As the Best Method of Dealing With the Financial Situation
 of the Day.

Washington, April 10.-There were four representatives of large commercial inter ests before the House committee on bank ing and currency. all of them opposing the Aldrich currency bill which they de- clared would do no good and might re- suit in much harm to the business in- terests of the county. Victor Morawetz l of New York made an extended argu- ment against the bill.
 The other speakers were: k. W. Clark of Detroit, Frank Lalanne of Philadelphia ! and Horace White of New York. The hearing will be resumed Monday.
 When the committee reassembIed after recess, MT Morawetz continued his state ment The Aldrich bill, he said, would create an artificial market for state, coun- ty and municipal bonds such as exists for government bonds. His principal objec- ton to the bill was because he re- garded it as measure of imitation.
 'I do not believe, said MT. Morawetz You can ever have a central bank in the United States I don't believe the people want it, and l, as one of the peo- pie, don't want it. I should consider it a very great menace to establish in this country a central bank because of it's effect upon the political conditions, be- cause it would be out of harmony with our social and business methods.
 He thought all banks and trust con- panies should be brought under a single control to prevent currency troubles. The trust companies he said, were the principal causes of the recent trouble They did not keep proper reserves and they engaged in business much more risky than that of the national banks"
 Once on the statute books, he said, the Aldrich bill would never get off, but would be extended.
 Horace White. former editor of the New York Evening Post, opposed the Aldrich bill as in line with bond secured currency growing out of the civil war. What was begun as a temporary measure, he said, had grown to be permanent and bonds are not paid off because they are needed as basis for bank notes.
 If 1t is reasonable to keep a bonded debt in order to provide basis for bank notes," he said it is just as reasonable to incur a bonded debt for the same pur- pose when the government has no need for the money. That is what call fool capital currency"
 He thought the best thing for Congress to do was to appoint a currency commits sion of six representatives, six senators and six experts, preferably bankers, to frame currency legislation to be passed , next winter.
 The Fowler bill, he said, would be an | improvement on the present bill. l The committee adjourned until Monday.

Our Busy Vice President.

Ernest c. Walker in Leslies Weekly.
 Vice-President Fairbanks finds many things to do. Many delegations descend upon Washington in quest of public speakers. Some want political speeches and some want civic addresses for wid 3 variety of occasions, ranging from re- union to a corner stone loving. As a senator MT. Fairbanks accepted such in vitations. Audiences saw he possessed sound information about the country and
 it's institutions. He never made poor speech-generally he made rattling good cne. He was always as punctual as a clock. It has been said he would never miss a train if all the timetables were burned This kind of work grew with him. It has occupied very much of his time between sessions of Congress. Since he became vice-president his vacations have been spent in traveling up and down end across the country accepting invita- tons to speak He thoroughly likes it.. He wants to be president" some men are likely to observe. Probably he does, and why not? But again, he likes public sreaking and he likes people He is one of the people, for he came up in their midst. I,e has met more millions of them than almost any other living American. and rom personal contact should know muca about their needs and aspirations.
