MRS. CORA EoLHEMuS

FIGHTING MAY BE
OFF IN FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-The feeling
shown against prize fighting by the Board
Of Supervisors last night has alarmed the
patrons Of the sport in Frisco At this
meeting the Supervisors refused to grant
any permits to clubs to hold any fights
next year, and a strong minority express
ed the view that the fights should be out
lawed. In the past the Supervisors have
followed the recommendations of the Po-
lice Committee, but in the discussion last
night several Influential members declared
that San Francisco should not be known
throughout the country as being the only
city where brutal prize fighting was toler-
ated. They also called attention to the
numerous fake fights that had been pulled
Off here and to the large number of dis
reputable characters that the fights at

Other members defended the sport but
it was plain to be seen that when the
matter comes up for a vote advocates Of
professional fights are going TO have a
hard time to carry their plans through

DECIDED DIFFERENCES
ON ELASTIC CURRENCY

Washington, Jan. e.-Decided differ
ences Of opinion as to the way of
injecting elasticity in the national
currency and of increasing the safety
of bank deposits have arisen among
the members of the house committee
on banking and currency, of which
Representative Fowler of New Jersey
Is chairman. Some of the Republican
members OF the committee, as well as
Democrats, are not in entire sympathy
with the plan. of Chairman Fowler
as embodied in the bill introduced
by him yesterday contemplating the
immediate and complete retirement of
all national bank bond secured cur
rency and its replacement by a guar
anteed credit currency based upon gen.
eral assets of the banks.
The great differences distinguishing
the Fowler bill from the bill introduced
in the senate by Mr.. Aldrich. which is
looked on with favor by some of the
members of the house banking COM
mittee, are that the former proposes
complete and permanent reorganiza-
ton of the countrys paper money,
while the latter attempts only an
emergency expansion, and the one
clings TO national bank assets as the
only proper security for national bank
currency, while the other permits the
acceptance of railroad. county and
municipal bonds wider certain re-
strictions as security
one of the members OF the house
banking and currency committee, who
prefers the Aldrich bin TO the Fowler
bill is Representative Burton of Ohio,
While Mr., Burton was unwilling TO be
quoted as to presenting his views IN
the committee or on the floor of the
House, it is understood that D. does
not cOncede the necessity at this time
of financial legislation of q revolu-
tionary or permanent character. He
thinks, with Senator Aldrich, that a
bill more temporary than Mr.. Fowlers
and more special In scope will suffice
Aldrich bill slightly modified is the
measure which Congress will eventu-
ally enact.
