BURNS IN DUBLIN.
American a Favorite Over Roche In
Their st. Patrick's Day Bout.

Dublin, March 17.-Ireland has
never taken greater interest in any
sporting event than it is manifesting
in the fight today between Tommy
weight championship of the world.
1t has practically overshadowed the
other st. Patrick's day celebration in
Dublin. at least and has brought into
the city, great crowd of sporting
men. This intense interest arises
mainly from the fact that this is the
first time in many years that an
Irishman has fought in his own coun-
try for the championship. There is
also deep seated feeling that Roche
will be able to wrench the honors
from his American opponent.
The odds of 8 to 1, that are being
offered by the Burns supporters are
not a good sign of the Irish feeling,
for most of the betting Is in small
amounts at to 1, which the book
makers are relaying at the larger
figures.
Both the fighters are in Dublin and
are receiving much attention. AS
they move about the streets they are
followed by crowds Of people. Roche
modestly declines to discuss his pros
poets Of winning, but great confidence
is felt In his camp. On the other
hand, Burns says he can see no
chance of being defeated.
Burns Will enter the ring at about
1873 pounds and Roche will be few
pounds heavier. Otherwise there is
little difference between the two men.
Burns advantage in reach amounts to
only one inch, while Roche's chest
and leg measurements are slightly in
excess Of those of Burns. R. P. Wat
son will referee the fight. Burns will
be seconded by Billy Neill, Pat
O'Keefe and Ben Jordan while
Roche's seconds are Bill Squires, Jim
Clark and T. KellY.
The ring will be Is feet square, and
this, Roche's hackers claim will be to
his advantage. This is taken to indi-
cate the Irishman's battle will be
defensive one.
Burns, since his arrival over here,
has adopted a most useful left, which
will be used considerably If there is
any inf1ghting.
After the fight the men will return
toLondon whence Burns goes to Paris
to referee On March FL, the fight be-
tween w. Stanton of California and
Jack Costello of England.

ROME IS SUSPICIOUS.
Report That Duke of Abruzzi VIII
Marry Miss Ellxins Given Credit.

Rome, March 17.--Some significant
circumstances regarding the move
ments of the Duke of Abruzzi came to
light today and do not bear out the
denial made at the Italian court yes
terday of marriage engagement be-
tween the duke, who Is a cousin Of
King Victor Emanuel, and Miss Kath-
crime Elkins, daughter of Senator
Elkins of West Virginia. The duke
came to Rome the middle of February
the king and his elder brother. the
Duke of Aosta. The latter came from
Naples purposely for the conference.
Following these interviews the Duke
Of Abruzzi asked leave of absence from
the command of the battleshfp Regina
Elena This was granted, since which
time the navy department has heard
nothing of his movements.
Inquiries made at Spezia brought
the information that the Duke of
Abruzzi left there the end of February
accompanied only by his valet. a man
named Ga1liono. 1t Is thought at
Spezia that the duke went to Paris
Before leaving he sent one Of his aides
to Rome with letter to the king.
saying that he would later commune
cate his address to his majesty. Up
to the present time he has failed to
do this.
The Duke Of Abruzzi. who has been
staying incognito at St. Augustine,
Fla, left there suddenly last night for
Washington. Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins
and her daughter, Miss Katherine
Elkins, were with him.

TO BE NO MESSAGE.
President Has Other Plans Regarding
Civic Federation's Wishes.

Washington. March 1.-THE report
that the president is about to send a
special message to congress urging
upon its attention certain matters OF
necessary legislation recommended by
the Civic Federation meets with posi-
tive denial at the White House.
The fact is the president, as already
stated in the press. has been for the
past fortnight in consultation at inter-
walls with members of the federation for
the most part individually and separate
ly, but some times in groups concern
ing the prospect of securing legislation
in the direction of their desires before
the adjournment of the present session
of congress. The outcome is expected
to be the presentation within a few
days by Representative Hepburn Ga
Of one or more bills covering the sub
1ect. The president has no present in
tention of transmitting message to
congress simultaneously with the in
PRODUCTION of these bills in the house.
He does feel deeply interested in the
success of the projected legislation and
at some future date if it appears he can
be of assistance in this matter he will
not hesitate to address a message to
congress urging action upon the bill or
bills, but so far he has not written one
line of such communication.

COUNT MAORI HURT.
Husband of Mrs. Tom Thumb Cut by
Flying Glass.

While presenting their comedy sketch
last night Count Magri, one of the trio
Of midgets appearing at the Novelty
theater this week met with an accident
which while it will not prevent the ap-
pearance of the nervy little fellow the
remainder of the week might have re-
suited much more disastrously. AS 1t
be included in the wardrobe Of the trio
for a time at least.
"It was all due to the force of action
and his great strength" said Count
Magri, referring to the accident as he
pointed laughingly to Baron Magri.
While doing his turn in the act Baron
Magri brought down a heavy whisky
bottle with great force on a table where
the two were seated and it was broken
in dozens Of pieces which flew in all d.
rections, one Of the particles imbedding
itself in the palm of the hand of the
count.
A tiny stream of blood trick1ed into
his palm and onto his cuff and left its
traces on the stage carpet but the play
let proceeded without interruption and
but few Of those in the audience re-
allied that the count had been injured.
While Mrs. General Tom Thumb told
the story Of her travels to the audience
the nervy little count left the stage and
an attendant picked the silver of glass
from the wound and the act was COM
pleted as though nothing had happened.
During my 35 years on the stage
this is the second time that I ever had
a thing of that kind happen" said the
baron, land in the future 1 am going
to use a wooden bottle in the place of
a glass one. I don't know how to ac-
count for the accident unless 1t was
the strength of the brand of Topeka
liquor which the bottle had contained"

Six Hundred kindergarten Pupils
March From Burning Building.

New York, March 17.-Six hun
dred kindergarten pupils of a school
ctety in Henry street, on the East
side, marched out of the school
building in fire drill formation today
when a small fire was discovered in
conservatory attached to one Of the
school rooms. Some of the children
were only four years old, but they all
fell into line like veterans and while
the older of them passed down the
fire escapes from the upper stories.
the younger marched from their
rooms on the lower floor to the main
entrance without a sign of panic.
The damage was slight.

R. R. BONDS TO GO OUT.
They Are Eliminated From Securities
Under Aldrich Bill.

washington, March 1.-THE senate
committee on finance today voted unan-
1mously to amend the Aldrich financial
Dill by eliminating railroad bonds as
security for national bank note circula :
ton. 1t also was decided to amend the
Dill so as to retain the provision Of the
present law prohibiting the retirement
Dy national banks of more than $9,000,-
OO0 of circulation in any one month.
The committee discussed the PROPOSE
ton of increasing the taxation on emer-
Sency circulation outstanding more
than six months. The rate under the
bill as it now stands is six per cent.
No action was taken on this feature.
The amendments were reported to
the senate today by Mr.. Aldrich, who
said that the action of the committee
had been unanimous. He said:
The committee believed when the
bill was reported and now believes
that it is desirable to have for these
emergency notes as large an amount
as possible of available security. The
committee finds that issues are raised
in regard to the railroad bonds which
have no reference to the bill under
consideration such as those of the
public and the proper treatment of
railroad bonds and stocks and under
all circumstances, the committee
thinks 1t better to ask the senate to
strike out these provisions in respect
to railroad bonds
Senator Nelson (Minn.) inquired
whether any amendment had been Of
fered by the committee in relation to
banking reserves.
NO." replied Mr.. Aldrich, 1.-The
committee has that under considera-
ton and will report on it in very
short time"
An amendment also was agreed to af-
fecting the amount Of circulation which
may be taken out on bonds Of the var
ious kinds. applicable for such purposes.
The bill provides that circulating notes
may be issued equal in amount to go
per cent Of the market value of any
bonds deposited. The amendment
adopted today adds the provision that
the issuance shall not be in excess, how
ever, of the par value of the bonds.
This is intended to meet the criticism
that certain securities might be inf1at-
ed above par value through the action
Of spectators and the committee be-
lieves the amendment will effectually
eliminate such danger.

THIS IS DIVORCE DAY.
Nearly All the Troubles Ironed Out
Without Judges Help.

Business in district court today, &C
cording to the docket, consisted of
the disposal of five divorce cases, Cole
against Cole, Coon against Coon,
Campbell against Campbell. Bennett
against Bennett, and Sharp against
Sharp. In every instance the plaintiff
was the wife.
When "Cole against Cole" was call
ed. the court waited ten minutes. and
missed for want of prosecution and
failure to appear. Neither of the
principals nor their attorneys an
swered to the call. The same thing
Coon, and the plaintiff, If she has not
made it up with her husband. will
have to start all over again. In the
case of Campbell against Campbell, an
attorney who had been formerly en-
ployed in the case, rose and announced
that the couple had made it up, and
were again living together. Therefore,
~'Raus nit" the Campbell case. But
when the Bennett case was called,
Mrs. Clara Bennett was present. with
her attorneys, and the evidence was
heard.
Mrs. Bennett testified that her hus-
band, Samuel G. Bennett, a second
hand dealer, married her three years
ago, and at once began to absorb her
personal money. about $4,000, - con-
verting it to his own use. 1t was
shown that Benefits second hand
store was in the hands Of a receiver,
and that he had debts which more
than covered not only the stock of
goods but the money he had obtained
from his wife. She was awarded a
divorce in short order, based on mis-
treatment, such as little pleasantries
like choking, kicking and so forth,
which he had frequently administered
to his wife.
The last case began about II o'clock,
and is still on tap this afternoon. Mrs.
Jennie Sharp, who says that she has
been divorced from two husbands
prior to the one from whom she hopes
to be separated today, wants to dis
solve the bonds of matrimony which
she contracted with D. K. Sharp
about a year ago. Her divorce case
has been pending for quite a while
In fact she was only married to Sharp
about three months before she decided
that he was a gold brick"
In her cross examination she says
she was married to a man named Fos-
ter in 1877, divorced from him in
1888, married a person named Hem
derson in 1890. cut lose from him two
years later. and was in 1907 married
