BURKE COMMITS A
FOUL TO END FIGHT

BOSTON, Mass, April 15.-In the most
sensational battle ever fought here. Bill
Mckinnon of this city won on a foul
from Sailor Burke of Brooklyn. in the
eleventh round of their fight held at the
Armory A. A. last night. 1t was a case
Of fighter making desperate rally.
Smarting under a broken left hand that
was perfectly useless. the husky Brook
Ignite saw defeat before him and tried
to stem the tide. From the second in the
sixth round that his injured member went
ing and was powerless to stop the slaugh-
ter. In the eventful eleventh he lost his
head and deliberately violated the ethics
Of the ring by landing a blow SO low that
the referee was compelled to give the
verdict to Mckinnon.
The accident robbed Burke Of what
would have been a sure victory. Before
he met with the mishap to his hand he
gave McKinnon the beating of his ca
reer, and was winning under wraps.
In the opening session he landed sew
eral stinging wallops on Mckinnon's s
jaw, and had him staggering when the
bell rang. In the next few rounds both
men mixed 1t up SO fast that the crowd
round was reached Burke had found out
McKinnon's weak spots and landed some
telling punches.
In the sixth Burke again staggered

but when he returned to his corner he
told his trainers that his left hand was
gone" The Brooklyn boy fought game
Iy in the next few rounds, but McKinnon
soon got wise to his rivai difficulty and
started to mix matters. In the tenth
Burke could not get away from the on
slaught. and catching a left on the jaw
went to the mat. He was up in a flash
fighting back, but 1t was futile effort.
In the final round McKinnon was giving
Burke such a trimming that the sailor
fought wildly and landed the wallop
that stopped the fray.

STAGE VILLAIN KILLS HIMSELF
EXERTED BAD INFLUENCE.
Actor Thought Himself a Menace to
Civilization-Play Delayed
by Absence.

PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-Imbued
with the idea. according to friends in
whom he confided, that he was menace
to civilization because he had played the
part OF villain in a score of shows before
thousands of persons, and had perhaps
Influenced them by his portrayal of wick
ed men. Oswald Roberts, thirty-eight
years old, a well known actor In melo-
dramatic productions. early last night
committed suicide in his room at the
Ashland House by shooting himself in the
head.
The revolver he used was the one he
handled in the course Of the play.
Play Delayed by His Absence.
At the time Of his death he played
the heavy part In the Sheriff OF Angel
Gulch'' company, which is appearing at
the National Theater this week. Although
he fired a bullet from a .3S-caliber re-
volver into his head, his body was not
discovered until Stage Manager Frank
Dobson Of the company had telephoned to
the hotel from the theater asking the
clerk for Information as to the where
abouts of the actor.
This was at o'clock, and the last call
for the curtain had been given. Think
ing that Roberts had possibly oversight
himself. Dobson sent one OF the minor
actors to the hotel. The play was delay
ed fifteen minutes, and then the messen-
ger, Harry Hayes. telephoned to the the
ater that Roberts had killed himself.
Graduate Of Oxford.
With all the actors in a hysterical con-
dition because of the act of the principal
Dobson ordered ]. w. Cowell to take the
part usually played by the dead man,
while he doubled and appeared in the
roles that Cowell and he took regularly.
In this way the performance was giver
without the audience being aware of the
death of Roberts.
The suicide was native of Liverpool
and was a graduate of Oxford. He hat
been with the Sheriff of Angel GuIch'
company for two weeks. Prior to that h,
had principal part in Sure Shot Sam. .
1t is supposed that the fact that he wa
out of an engagement from the time the
latter show closed until he was given an
engagement with the show now appearing
at the National Theater caused him to be
Respondent. which, coupled with his odd
belief about 1.-The world believing he was
a villain at heart" prompted his act.

the minds Of those who saw the mur<

The murderer looked big because OF so
many clothes and he may not be az
heavy as described.
The man in jail here had no beard
when arrested, but as the murderer
secured a razor blade Saturday, he
may have shaved after he left Union.
At any rate the prisoner will be held
until his beard grows out and then 9TH

The clothes found at Eldora may also
be brought here, placed on the prisoner,
so that people may see how he looks.

felt therefore that a great injustice had

would abandon this plan by repeating

would be to give the states control Of

an opportunity to assist the negroes in
legitimate way. He declared, how
ever, that the south would never con-
