strated that he was master Of his
opponent at any kind Of fighting.
Round by round Ketchel chose his
opportunities and when an oppor-
tunity afforded, planted the right to
the head or body, generally escaping
without damage in return. Once
duriag an aggressive moment they
fell in the ringside and toppled
through the ropes wrapped in close
embrace, In falling, Papke had seiz.

rush carried them clear off the plat
form, and over the heads Of the
spectators.
In the decisive round Ketchell

lightly on the Jaw and then rushed
him half way across the ring, plant

CASHIERS SHORTAGE
PENSACOLA BANK WILL LOSE
 ABOUT $6,OOO.
Indemnity Company VIII Pay Sf5,OOO and ReOrganixed Institution Will
 Continue to Do
 Busaness.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 2.-(Special. )- The announcement made by the direc- tors of the Pensacola Bank and Trust Company, to the effect that after transfer of all of the stocks and prop erty which he held and also after the collection of his bond of $15,o00. the institution would still be out several thousand dollars on the shortage of Cashier c. c. Scudamore, caused much surprise here. as 1t was generally be- lieved that the bond alone would cover all shortages of the cashier, who was removed a month ago, and who Is still at his home here
 From what can be learned of the affair the cashier had made invest ments with money of the bank, which evidently did not turn out proftably, and he became heavily involved. As soon as the irregularities were discov- cred he turned over what stocks and bonds he held to the bank and some other property.
 There is still other property. which the officers are now endeavoring to obtain possession of. and with the $15,- 900 which has been demanded of the indemnity company, with which com- pany he was bonded, 1t is not believed that the bank will lose more than $5S 900 or $6.000.

WILL TEST THE LAW
g{DnILE COURT ISSUES 4 WARRANT FOR vENTURINI.
oeIoo1 Men Do Not Believe Early Clos fnK Statute WIi Bear Close
 Inspection by the
 Judges.

Mobile. Jan. 2.--(Special.)-That the . O'Clock law will be tested by the sa- loon keepers of the city was evidenced this morning when Conrad Spatz. ba- ker. applied at the inferior court for a warrant charging the proprietor of tlfe Monopole saloon, Peter Venturini, with violating the law. The warrant wha issued and Mir, Venturini made bond. The case Is set for trial Satur- day.
 It is thought that MT. Spatz was sent to the court to swear out the war rant by the Saloon Mems Committee who wish to bring the case to a speedy 1eet. In fact. Mir. Spatz stated that he wanted the warrant for the purpose of making test case.
 sThe law will be hard fought here, tlfe saloon keepers having banded to- Eether and formed union, so to speak, which will stand all the expenses of the test.
 It is thought that the saloons will all close every night at o'clock with the exception of those that are to pose for arrests in order that the case can SO to test. As soon as one saloon man is arrested then the others will observe the law until the case is final- 1y decided.

Predictions Fulfilled.

Richmond, Va. Jan. 2.-Mr. John Skelton Williams. former President of the Seaboard Air Line. said tonight to a representative of the Associated Press:
 "In no spirit of boosting, but as evil dence for those who are interested in Seaboard securities that my opinions on the affairs of that system are we'll founded I ask attention to the fact that my predictions of the course of the property and the results of its financial and operating management in recent years have been fulfilled exactly.
 The passing of the Seaboard Air Line system from the control of Messrs. Ryan Blair and Coolidge into the hands of officers of the court is not an event which should cause stockholders alarm or discouraEement. This is not case where the urexpected has happened, but the present situation is the logical result Of forces which have been at work during the past four years. It is hoced that all interests may now unite on some plan and platform which may look to the speedy rehabilitation of the system and the carrying out of some scheme which will produce the most satisfactory results to all security hold CTS of every class and without unjust discrimination.
 "Business like politics makes strange bedfellows. Probably I shall be re- quired to work for the restoration of the Seaboard with men of whom have said very harsh things publicly and who have injured me deeply. The i'm terests of my fellow stockholders and of the Seaboard property and the Southern country in which it is such vitally important factor outweigh with me any personal grievances I may have. I expect to put those grievances aside, at least until this work Is done. So long as the Ryan-Blair interests may give evidence of honest purpose to build up the property and protect and promote the interests of the stock holders they will have from me hearty cooperation. can work with these men to a good end for a good cause quite as hard as I fought them while believed they were doing wrong or following unwise policies.
 My confidence in the possibilities of the system, under proper managem ent, is unshaken. For the calendar year 1907, the Seaboard and its affiliated lines earned approximately S19,00O, 000 On this basis of earnings over $6, ,O00 per miIe the system ought to be op- erated at an expense ratio of approx imately 70 per cent or less. On this basis net earnings for the past year would have been $5,000. 900, or nearly S2 OOO, 900 in excess of fixed charges With the return of normal business conditions and the tremendous devel- opment which has been going on wig orously for the past ten years in the entire territory traversed by the Sea board Air Line system. the arrest of which development can only be tenn porary. believe that results still more

BILL FrLEn HERE.

The Seaboard vSAir Line. through it's attorneys, Steiner, Crum and Well, late yesterday filed a bill in the Federal court asking that a receiver be ap- pointed for the road. The bill was against the Continental Trust Company of Baltimore, which holds the bonds of the road and it is alleged in the bill that the road is unable to pay it's debts or charges.
 This is an echo of the case that was started in Richmond Va, yesterday [. It was necessary to file the bill in every court in order to get an ancil- lary decree from the courts of each district that the road passes through.
 In order to get the mater into court immediately an agent of the attorneys of the Continental Trust Company filed an answer about the same time that the bill was filed. It will be neces- sary to file bills in every district in each of the six States entered by the road. They are Virginia. North and South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama and Florida. The bill filed here is a dupli- cate of the one that was filed in Rich = mond and the other cities in which the road simply states that it is not able ot meet its obligations and that it asks that a receiver be appoined and that the property will be operated as be- fore
