WOlgast Causes
More Criticism of
Weights Rulings
His Refusal to Meet Anyone But
Nelson Causes Rumpus Over
Weight Question.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19-"The unwilling
ness Of Ad Wolgast lightweight champion,
to meet anybody except Battling Nelson,
may be used Is an argument in favor OF
altering the scale Of weights governing the
various pugilistic classes said a veteran
referee the other day. Nelson vas the
first lightweight champion to refuse to meet
challengers except at tho American limit,
1873 pounds ringside, and Wolgast Is fol-
lowing his example to the letter with the
result that same Of the best boxers who
are practically lightweights. are barred
from competition in this class. In England
the National Sporting club recently es-
tablished new weight limits and fixed the
scaling in the lightweight class at 1856
pounds, six hours before ring time This
arrangement seems eminenuy fair, and
believe It should prevail in this country.
When the late Joe Cans was the light
weight champion he met all corners regard
less Of the lightweight limit until he
stacked up against Nelson, whose stpula-
tons as to the scaling limit were mani

Of Cans. who was physically weakened by
such conditions. Nelson, as titleholder,
barred Packy Mcfarland from a match as
the latter could not make 1Ss pounds ring
side, and wanted TO fight at 1876 either ring
side OF several hours before the handshake,
Now Wolgast also bars Mcfarland, Good
man, Young Sammy Smith and other 1S5
pound boys for the same reason.

POLICE SEEK THIEF WHO
ISABOUT TO BE MARRIED.

The South Orange police are looking
for a thief who has just begun. or is
intending to take up, housekeeping.
They are working on this theory for
the reason that in one case a dozen
eggs and two pounds of butter were
stolen, and in another instance the
thief got away with the complete fur
nishings for a dining room. The police
figure that the thief is not through,
and is due to make a haul for the fur
nishings of his bedroom and possibly
his parlor.
Returning to their home in Mil1igan
place, South Orange, today for the first
time in more than a week. the family of
Francis c, Salisbury found only a part
of their furniture there. 1t developed
after an investigation by the South
Orange police that thieves backed up
a wagon to the house in broad day
light and carted the furniture away.
Among the articles taken were a
dining table, a refrigerator, a rocking
chair and several dining-room chairs.
Mr.. Salisbury and his family had beer
away, n because it was known that
he had intended to remove to this city
shortly it was believed by the neigh
bors, several of whom saw the wagon
taking the furniture away, that he
was at that time being removed. The
furniture was taken a week ago last
Saturday.
Two pounds of butter and a dozen
eggs were stolen from a refrigerator
standing on the rear porch of Albert G.
Borden's residence, at 264 Vose avenue
Mr.. Borden reported the loss of the
~'luxuries'' to police headquarters his
morning, and declared that he had re-
ceived a score OF letters of coincidence
from his many friends. He secuted the
idea that some one had played a practi-
cal joke on him. and he said that in his
opinion it would not be likely that
a member OF the feline or the canine
race would commit such a depreciation.

by the police for about a half-hour,
but later a friend called and left 800
cash bail for his appearance this morn
ing.
According to the conductors story,
Denny and several friends gave him
transfers which were not good, and
also took his glasses off. Denny denied
the charge, and said the conductor a
torn the transfers up. His main wit
ness was i'll today and he had decided
to ask for an adjournment, but Re-
