REQUIREMENTS
ARE APPROVED
Aldermen in Committee Session Pass
on General Specifications for the
Proposed New Filter Plant.
ARE TO BE PUBLISHED
Will Appear in Full in Official News"
papers, and Come Up for Formal
Adoption Monday Evening.


At the committee of the whole se5-
sion of the city council the general
requirements of the city for the pro-
posed new filter plant on the river
front at the waterworks pumping sta
ton were approved, and they will be
submitted formally at the regular ses-
sion of the council Monday evening for
formal action. The specifications will
be submitted in the form of report
from the committee of the whole. The
public, however. is to have an Oppor-
. tunity TO become familiar with the re-
quirements as drawn up, for the coun-
Gil, on motion of Alderman Smith, in
structed the mayor to have the entire
specifications published in the Official
papers of the city. and the printing
committee to have 100 copies printed.
The specifications will appear in full
in The Argus in a later issue this
week.
Little Change Made.
:. There were no material changes
made in the original draft of the re-
ouirements. The word superintendent
was substituted for engineer. the i'm
preston of some being that the latter
term meant city engineer and the de-
sire being to indicate the consulting
engineer or superintendent in charge
of the construction work for the city.
Alderman Ellinwood thought that
the city should at once employ a con-
sulting engineer. but others pointed
out that consulting engineers ser
vices will not be. required until the
different companies submit plans and
specifications and bids. The council
will then have the advice of an ex
pert engineer in the subject of filtra
ton, who will be able to give advice
!. as to the best plan and the most salts
factory proposition submitted.
Alderman Carse opposed the adoI>
ton of the specifications on tbs
ground that the city clerk had failed
to comply with the former resolution
instructing him to secure plans ans
specifications from the different con
tractors These were not to be sub
mitted, however, until the first meet
ing in March. Alderman Ellinwood op
posed the specifications for reasons
which did not appear. although the
statement was made openly that h
acted because of personal feelins
against the city engineer. Aldermen
Trefz and McNealy were absent.

Die FIGHT To BE At
COlMA OR SALT LAKE

NEW YORK, December 3.-The final
articles for the great Johnson-Jeffries
fight were signed yesterday. They call
for a meeting on July but the place
is not definitely stated, the articles
merely saying "in Utah or California. }"
This means Salt Lake City or Colma,
near San Francisco. At the latter place
they have an arena all ready for the
mill, but the promoters may figure that,
by having the fight in Utah, they will
draw more of the wealthy eastern
sports, as Salt Lake is two days nearer
New York than San Francisco.
No referee is mentioned. but it states
that he must be selected sixty days
before the contest. With regard to the
number of rounds the articles call for
forty-fve "or more' rounds; this
means practically finish fight. If at

HARRIS REv|SES
BOXING RULES
Remarkably Efficient Code Is
CompiIed-Every Point
Covered.

Judging by the advance proofs sent
out by publishing firm, one Cal Har-
ris has put together a very creditable
book on sports. The proofs sent here
are not marked In any way except that
theyaare headed "Revised Professional
Boxing Rules, by Cal. Harris" and
copyrighted by him.
One good amendment to the present
rules to be noted is the change in the
weight list. This has been long needed.
I here are also many points included
that have never been covered in any
set of rules. The Marquis of Queens
berry rules are hopelessly inefficient.
They are short and few and leave ev-
erything to the London prize ring rules
Harris has had the pluck to come
out with well arranged set of rules
and it is hard to find any flaws in
them. They are not too long and yet
they cover, SO far as one careful peru
sal of them can determine, the entire
boxing situation. If these rules are
officially adopted as they should be,
boxing would be cleaner and a better
sport.
Here are the rules. They are repro
duced verbatim as each and every one
is good:
Weights.
l. Weights and names of the differ
ent classes:
Bantamweight, from los to rs
pounds.
Featherweight, from lis to 125
pounds.
Lightweight, from 125 to 135 pounds.
Welterweight, from 135 to 145
pounds.
Middleweight, from 145 TO 100
pounds.
Light heavyweight, from $50 to IT'S
pounds.
Heavyweight, from 175 pounds up.
Size of the Arena.
9 The ring shall be not less than
fifteen or more than twenty-four feet
square and must be erected in a sub
stantial manner The posts, four in
number. shall be set in the corners,
from which the ropes, two or three in
number, are to be stretched tight. The
upper rope shall be four feet from the
floor and the lower rope two feet from
the floor In Sc a third rope is used
it shall be placed midway between the
other two. The ring shall be made
stakeless by having the posts located
at least a foot outside of the ring
proper. the ropes being fastened to the
posts by guy lines. If such an arrange
ment is not possible the posts must be
thiekIy padded The floor of the ring
shall be covered with a solid padding
of about one-half inch in thickness,
over which a canvas shall be smoothly
stretched.
8. The boxers shall be stripped to
the waist The ring costume shall con
sist of tights, supporters and soft soled
shoes. Belts with metal buckles shall
not be allowed.
4. There shall be one referee and one
official timekeeper appointed, who are
to have full charge of the contest. The
boxers shall also be allowed to appoint
~one assistant timekeeper each whose
duty shall consist of seeing that the
official timekeeper calls said time ex-
aetly right The timekeeper shall be
supnlied with loud, cleartoned bell,
which ne shall ring at the beginning
and end of each round. If Il is not

TEAMSTER CHARGED WITH
BEATING A HORSE

Jesse Sailor, teamster, was ar
raigned before the police Judge this
morning on the charge of beating a
horse, the complaint being sworn to
by officer Hadlock and Lindsey Bell.
Sailor entered a plea OF not guilty
and the witnesses were called
MI Bell stated that he discovered
Sailor attempting to make his team
pull load which was evidently too
much for their strength, whereupon
the defendant struck one of the ami
mails with whip. and then procuring
a piece OF hard lumber. he beat the
animal until commanded to stop.
Officer Hadlock stated that he had
gone down TO the place indicated by
Mr. Bell and had there found the de-
fendant with his team. One of the
horse bore huge welt across It's
hind quarters and Charles Chase. who
Is stationed in the vicinity. told him
that he also had witnessed the occur
renee. The officer stated that the i'm
plement used In beating the horse
was evidently a heavy stake from the
rear of the wagon.
The court questioned the witness
closely and then ordered the case con-
tinued until Saturday morning. Mr.
Chase is to be subpoenaed as wit
ness.

If men could lay bare the inner
most secrets in the thoughts. hearts

sweethearts and wives the shock
would be almost more than they could
bear and would be an astounding rev
elation. The courts aud newspapers
are daily recording the inevitable re-
suits of this ignorance on the part of
man and for that reason alone, If none
other, all men should see Elinor Glyn'S
dramatization of her own novel Three

lesson 1t III oubtedly conveys. The
mute appeal from woman contained
in its lines and situations must strike
a sympathetic chord among the In

them to a realization of their faults
and suggest the remedy. When a dra-
