M'QUADE IN COURT
Pleaded Guilty and Got Jail
 Sentence and Fine,

It will be some time before Charles s. McQuade, alias Charles Wood, the colored man who called himself professor, will have an op- portunity to collect money again under false pretenses. He pleaded guilty in court to-day on two counts one charging him with having ob- tained $1O from Miss Edith Kings bury and another with having se- cured $10 from Mrs M. E. Burrall. Up to the time of opening court Nc Quade insisted he was innocent, but when he saw those whom he had obtained money from he wilted and pleaded guilty.
 His record was then read showing that he was arrested in 1900 on the complaint of Edward Beach of the Manufacturers Foundry Co for forgery, and he put in time for that. He was also in the state school for boys and was in trouble in Boston on account of the disappearance of a watch from a room in the Ameri- Sebii houoC III W do l. He denied serving three months for that, insisting that he merely waited that time for a trial and was then released.
 His story was that he was paid $2O a week by Pinkston, his confed- crate, who is serving a period in the house of correction in Boston, for collecting money for colored insti- tute at Mount Pleasant, N. J. Mc- Quade said he was engaged by Pink ston as his private secretary and all the money he collected he turned over to him. It did not occur to him that the credentials he carried protesting him to be "a student of high attainments, "a graduate of Mount Meigs institute, Mount Meigs, Ala that he was 'cultured and classic" and so forth, was all lie and he was travelling under false representations. There was no evil dence given and McQuade was fined $25 and costs and committed to jail for three months.

PACkeY M FARlAND
PROVES HIS POWER
Easily Defeats Bert Reyes at Boston
- Trough Fight Goes Full
IL Rounds.

Boston. Jan. l5.-Packcy Mcfarland
of Chicago so easily whipped Bert
keyes of New York in a 12-round bout
held at the Armory club last night
that the 600 present hardly realized
they had seen a fight. Not once dur
ing the bout did the New Yorker prove
a worthy competitor for Mcfarland.
Mcfarland had things entirely his own
way from the first round until the
closing one.
When the men stepped into the ring
Mcfarland was easily the favorite. as
he appeared to be in the best of con
dition, while Keyes even before the
fighting did not shape up as anything
like fit opponent for the western
wonder
After the second round there was
no question of McFarlands superior
ity. as he poked the New Yorker with
right and left hand jabs repeatedly.
keyes was unable to stand the gaff
very long. and soon did his best 10
keep out of the WAY of McFarlands
hard punches.
