FLYNN HEAVIER

HAS ADVANTAGE NOW OF FIVE
POUNDS
GIVES HIM INCREASED CoNFi-
DENcE IN RESULT
Fighting Fireman Tips Beam at 1866
Pounds After Workout, While
Papke Shows Himself to Be
lowering Around 100

For once in his ring career it begins
to look as if Jim Flynn would have
the advantage of a few pounds over
his opponent when he hooks up with
Billy Papke next Friday night at Nc
Carey's club. Both battlers weighed in
yesterday after their workouts and
Flynn tipped the beam at 165 pounds,
while Papke was five pounds lighter.
This will be quite a novelty for flynn
and his friends, and it undoubtedly VIII
give the fighting fireman increased con-
idence in his ability to win in a de-
cisive manner.
FLYNN took an eight-mile spin on the
road yesterday morning and wound up
the days work with eight rounds OF
boxing, taking on Battling johnson Tor
four rounds and Kid Dalton and Al
Rogers for two rounds each. Flynn APP
pears to be in perfect health and G. l.
dition. and his friends are much inn
pressed with his chances of winning.
Papke is pursuing the even tenor OF
his way at Venice and seems no less
perfect in health and condition than
his rough house opponent. Billy smiles
confidently whenever asked regarding
his chances of winning Friday night
and says: Leave that to me. III win
without any great trouble and in
hurry. too" Big Jack Burns. the
heavyweight, is sparring partner to
Papke, and they went through with
three rather easy rounds yesterday aft
ernoon as the windup stunts of siren
uous day. Papke took six-mile run
on the road in the morning and did the
usual work in the afternoon.
The fans are taking more interest in
this scrap than was manifested when
l. Ill q
chances that~-Flynn will win have
seemed to improve steadily ever since
he began training, and he is winning
supporters by the score every day be-
cause of his general appearance ana
showings while in training. Papke will
go into the ring favorite, of course, but
there will be more Flynn money wa
gered than appeared probable when
betting began.
The semi-windup bout Friday night
also is coming in for an unusual
amount of attention and discussion.
Martin Heron, one of the classie9t
bantams in the west and Young Tur-
ner will furnish this bout over the ten
round route. and as both are slashing,
hurry-up fighters, the bout undoubted-
~ will be very interesting and eXcit-
ing from start to finish, the prospect
for knockout being exceptionally
good.
Manager McCarey closed negotiations
Yesterday for another classy and most
attractive card when he signed up AID
Wolgast, the future featherweight
champion, and Frank Picato the
knockout lightweight who gave George
Memsic such a tight rub recently.
These boys had been laughing over
terms for the match for several days
and could not agree on the hour for
making weight Yesterday both deSir-
ing the match, they agreed to appoint
Matchmaker Hancock Of the club as
arbiter and he decided the question
to the satisfaction of both boys, and
the match was made. They will meet
at 1873 pounds at o'clock which is
about four hours previous to the time
for entering the ring.

ROMANCE OF FOUR
MONTHS ELIMINATED
PROMINENT COUPLE OF SAN
BERNARDIN0 MARRIED
Pair Left Before Friends Were Aware
of Intentions and Were
Welded in Los
Angeles

B. Frank Denton of San Bernardino,
a prominent merchant, was married
today in Los Angeles to Mrs. Augusta
Won Salzen of the same city. The mar
riage is the result of a romance of
about four months.
Denton is senior member of the firm
of Denton & Huber, candy manufac-
turers.
Mrs. Augusta Won Salzen for several
years has been the proprietor of the
exclusive Wright tavern, at which
hotel Denton has been a guest for
several months.
They met about four months ago at
an ice cream social and since that
time Denton has been paying the
charming widow marked attention.
Denton informed his partner that he
was going to Los Angeles yesterday on
business and would not be back until
night.
The man in charge of Mrs. Won Sal
zen's hotel stated that Mrs. Won Sal
zen had left early Tuesday to go on
a picnic.
The couple evidently took no one
into their confidence. Mrs. Won Salzen
has two adult daughters, who are
prominent in social circles and who
are talented musicians and for several
years sang in the choir of the Congre-
gational church in San Bernardino.

BOARDS PLEA SENT
TO AUDITOR MUSHET
LARGE SUM REQUIRED FOR
EDUCATIONAL WORK
Improvement on Hill Street Calls for
Special Appropriation of About
S45oo and General Expense
Fund Is Low

What will happen to that request
from the board of education for spe-
cial appropriation of $4,000 when 1t
reaches the hands of City Auditor Mu-
shet? The contemplation of the things
the auditor will say when he makes his
special report to the council on this
matter almost gives one nervous chilli.
The city has ordered the Improvement
of Hill street, from California to Sun
set. The frontage of the high school
for this improvement is in the assess
ment district, and the cost to the board
of education will be about $500.
Yesterday the board sent request
to the council for a special approprla-
ton of this amount, as there Is no fund
from which this money may be drawn.
The request was referred to the city
auditor.
The attitude of the city auditor to-
ward the board of education is well
known. He has made himself plain on
several previous occasions, and was eS-
pecially emphatic when the board last
summer refused to permit him to eX-
anime its oks. The reference to the
auditor is believed to be only shift
ing of the responsibility from the shout
ders of the finance committee, and this
supposition was confirmed when Blan-
chard and Wallace, the two members
of the finance committee who were
present yesterday, were seen to smile
broadly.
The general expense fund is very
low, and the finance committee does
not want to make any more drafts on
It than it can help, for it is long time
until the next fiscal year.

MAYOR TO TAKE
OATH THURSDAY
ALEXANDER COMPELLED TO
WAIT ANOTHER DAY
TECHNICAL ERRORS MUST BE
CORRECTED FIRST
Official Count Increases His Majority
by Eighty-two votes--Severai
Tally Books Not Prop
erIy Signed

Because the last technical detail OF
the official canvass was not completed
by the council yesterday Mayor-elect
Alexander cannot take his seat until
Thursday. The council finished the ac-
tual count of the ballots cast at Fri
days election in about an hour, out IL
was found that several Of the tally
books were not properly signed, and 1t
is necessary to cite certain OF the elec-
ton officials to appea- before the coun-
Gil and finish their neglected dutles'
The official count yesterday had no
effect in changing the result, except
that it increased AleXander's majority
a little The figures showed 14,01l for
Alexander and 12,414 for Wheeler, CIV
ing Alexander a majority of 1897, IN
stead of -515, as the figures showed on
election night Wheeler lost total OF
seven votes and Alexander gained 80
in Precinct g. The latter also gained
80 in Precinct 103, but lost five in the
Sixth ward.
The official canvass of the vote is a
rather perfunctory affair, although 1t
is done, according to law. The ballots
counted by the election officials are
not touched. Only the tally books
they used are opened and the figures
in them verified by the members of the
council This is ca ly done, as they
appear in TALES of five, and the coun-
cilmen merely have to go through the
old school formula of 5-10-15-20, ETC.
The final detail of certification was
delayed until Thursday, because the
council must meet that day, anyhow,
to pass the pay roll for the month. and
1t was much against the wishes of the
members to hold an extra session to-
day.

LONG CONTEST WON
BY HEIRS OF ESTATE
MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT Is
ENDED AT LAST
Claimants of Fortune Left by William
M. Ferry Victorious in Case
Brought by Trust
Company

SALT LAKE CITY, March 30.-Judge
John A. Marshall in the federal court
yesterday sustained the demurrer of the
representatives of the, estate of Ed
ward p. Ferry in the suit for approx
mately $1,OOO00O brought against the
estate by the Michigan Trust company.
This decision of Judge Marshall prac-
tically puts an end to seven years OF
litigation originally brought in Michi-
gan by some of thesheirs of the late
William Montague Ferry.
Judgment in the amount of $1,000, 900
was granted the contesting heirs, and a
suit on this judgment was brought in
the federal court in Utah.
The litigation is the result of a some
what unsettled condition of the estate
of william Montague Ferry, who died
in Michigan some thirty years ago.
William Montague Ferry was a
pioneer resident of Michigan. On his
death Edward p Ferry, his son, the
father of w. Montague Ferry and 70.
S. Ferry of Salt Lake, were appointed
executors of the estate.
The legacies of the late Mr.. Ferry
were paid by his son, and there was a
residuary estate of 100000 which it
was alleged had never been accounted
for.
Through his representatives, Edward
p. Ferry claims to have used this
amount IN the payment OF MS prolneI )
debts, and that he was authorized to do
so by written assignments of the
heirs.
The brother, for whom this 100000 is
claimed to have been paid, is the late
Thomas W. Ferry, United States sem
ator from Michigan. He was prom
inent in politics, serving in both
branches of the Michigan legislature,
and representing his state in both
houses of congress.
He was Michigan's candidate for vice
president at the Chicago Republican
convention which nominated Abraham
Lincoln in 1860 for president. He was
elected four times to congress and
twice to the United States senate. I'm
medately after his first election to tine
senate he was made president pro tenn.
and reelected to that position -four
times.
On the death of Vice President Will
son, in 1877. he became acting vice
president of the United states. He died
IN 1895.
