One OF the very best evenings
sport In the way of boxing that has
been seen In Honolulu was the show
put up Fred Smith on Saturday
night ut the Aloha Park.
Twenty six rounds Of exciting
stoush was handed out during three
fine bouts, and one knockout; one
draw and one decision scrap was the
way things went.
Although the attendance as not
large: the enthusiasm ran high ana
the sailor kept things going with a
vim.
There were many well known peo-
pie by the ringside and the usual
bunch of sports crowded the reserv-
ed seats.
The building at the rear Of the
Art Theatcr was taben by storm
and Jackies and Honolulu boys
climbed the fire escape ladders and
packed up hundred feet In the air
got free show.
One Jackie got on to the top oi
the iron fence surrounding the Alo'
ha Park, and seated himself com
pletely on the summit.
The ships patrol saw him and
then an exciting chase took place
As the patrol approached Jackie
scrambled down the outside OF the
fence, but when near the bottom
found that the enemy had taken vi
a position in the rear.
Jack at once scrambled up the
fence again and dropping down the
inside, dragged away the electric
light wire with him. Instantly on'
side OF the Park was thrown Int
darkness, and as Jack darted ava,
In the arena an officer yelled out

such a roar went up from the au
dience that the citizen quickly 10

Then things were mixed for
minute or so, and 1t was wonderful
the way the crowd opened up to al
low the flying sailor to get out ant
then close up again in front of tn
officer and patrol.
At any rate Jack got away clear
and IL is not known If he was cap
tured later on or not.

Protests Against
Big Fine Levied
by Texas Court
Waters-Pierce Oil Company Asserts
Million and Half Penalty Amounts
to Confsoation of Property.

WASHINGTON, April son behalf Of
the Waters Pierce oil company. former
United States Senator John c. spooner has
filed in the supreme court Of the United
States a petition for a rehearing OF the
various cases brought by the state OF
Texas against that company which re-
Gently were decided against IT, These in
cude the cases involving the appointment
of a receiver for the company and the one
ousting the company from the state and
imposing fine of 81. .549, 600 for violation of
the Texas antitrust laws. The principal
reason for the petition is that the fine was
so excessive as to deprive the oil com
pany of its property without due process
OF law.
In support Of this contention, attention
Is called to the fact that in the record OF
the case It was claimed the oil company
was making high as 700 per cent on its
capital. but It is set forth that while this
might be true, with reference to the sO0.-
900 capital stock, It was not true with refer
ence to the S4O.OO0.OOO of the assets of the
company. Much stress Is laid upon the
fact that large portion of the fine was
based upon the Texas antitrust law OF
1892 imposing a penalty Of $500 a day
after that law had been repealed.
I'VE therefore submit" says the petition
that 1t is little short of confscation foI
the state to have neglected to enforce the
act OF 1899 for seven years and after thai
act had been repealed and the amount ol
the pealty reduced to $50 per day to insist
! upon a verdict for 81 800 per day for LOG:
days"

Supposed kidnapping Case
Cleared by Finding of Body

FLINT, Mich. April 3.-Instead of hav-
ing been kidnapped when he disappeared
from home here on February q. lO-year-old
Harold Moon fell through the ice Of
Thread pond and was drowned.
The long search for the boy which has
been prosecuted in all parts of the country
ended today when his body was found
floating on the surface OF the pond by
Bert Robson. who had been sea-ching for
It there for days. A pair OF skates fastened
20 the little feet bore mute testimony to
the manner of the lads death. The small
hands were still covered with the mittens
which the boy wore when he went through
the ice.
Suspicion developed soon after the little
boys disappearance that he had been kid
naped.
AS the search about the pond where he
had gone to skate failed to reveal any
traces of him. the suspicion grew Reports
came from several different directions that
lad answering his description had been
seen in company with a man. From Pom
tiac, Mich came a report that a boy OF
his appearance had been seen in a freight
car with a rough looking man OF whom
he seemed to be in fear Rewards aggre-

NEBRAsKAN RASH AND IGNORANT
Says Charge that He IL Not Democrat
should Have Been Made When His
Speeches Were Selected for
Camrnisr tlor~lfnents.

WASHINGTON. April 3-Representative
John j. Fitzgerald of New York, who
gained prominence by having adopted his
amendments to the house rules and who at
the same time brought down upon himself
and twenty-one followers the wrath of the
so-called regular democrats issued today
the following reply to William j. Bryan's
criticism of his action, which recently APP
peared In the Commoner:
with his usual rashness Mr.. Bryan
rushes in where angels might we'll fear
to tread. His statement that 1 am not a
representative of my party would have
come with better grace if made when my
speeches were being selected as demo-
cratic campaign documents in the last two
national campaigns. 1t would have been
more convincing If he had marshaled in
cidents in my ten years service in the
house of representatives TO justify his
assertion. If Mr.. Bryan means that l am
not a representative OF the democratic
party as democracy has been understood
and professed by himself, shall not chal-
lenge his statement. My political convic-
tions and beliefs are more in accord with
the democracy of those men who twice
made possible Mr.. Clevelands election as
president, than with the latter-day rad
icalism of the west.
"As to the personal references in Mr.
Bryan's statement to my sense of pro.
priety and respect for my party I have
only to say that II the democratic party
had given me three opportunities to become
president and / had failed dismally a:
Mr.. Bryan, even If | did not have the sens
| to do so the obligation of gratitude to ny

about matters Of which / was grossly
