ecial CORRESPONDENCE of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. February II. 1910.
That Gov. Mann intends to make an in
yestigation into the cases of Calvin john
son, Richard Pines, Eugene Dorsey and
Smith, negroes convicted of the murder
of Walter T. Schultz and sentenced to
be electrocuted, was shown this morning
when letter was received from the gov
ernor by Commonwealth Attorney Brent,
asking information about Smiths confess
sions at once, in view Of the fact that
Smiths electrocution is set for Friday
next.
Commonwealth Attorney Brent return
ed a letter in which he said that he saw
no reason for a communication Of sentence
as he believed all four were guilty of
murder.
Judge Barley of the corporation court
today received a similar letter from Gov.
Mann. Judge Barley announced that he
would hold q conference with the COM
monwealth attorney this afternoon before
replying to the letter. Johnson, Pines
and Dorsey are sentenced to be electro
cuted March 16.
The opinion prevails in this city that
the governor will probably commute the
sentence of all four negroes to life i'm
prisonment in view OF the conflicting
statements that have been made since
the conviction of the men, and especially
in view Of the second confession of
Smith.

Legislation Advised by Walker.

What would you advise the govern
ment to do if all the railroads of The
country should propose to combine as one
great corporation was asked of Mr..
walker during the course of the hearing.
Legislation should be enacted Wnicn
would insure the making OF Ialr and just
rates for the beneuL 81 All the people. ana
then consondatiun should be encouraged
in every way it could be accomplished,
lie replied.
ConIlnuIng, he said that the most eff
fectlve control of capitalization was the
publicity now provided Tor by law, which
ne thought, would prevent i'll the future
all the evils in that direction of which
complaint has been made in the past
1T is not only best, but it is the duty
of the government to see that railroads
are maintained as public highways for the
benefit of the big shipper and little ship
per alike. But in their charter powers, as
to capitalization and acquisition of new
lines the railroads should be let alone.
Control of these questions is contrary
to the spirit of the government and the
Constitution. OF course, | discriminate
between interstate commerce features
and charter features.

Walcott tore at him furiously and
knocked him spraw1ing twice more
before the bell rang.
In the second round Choynsl<i
used all his skill and avoided shunky
little WalcOtt's swings, doing some
damage with a straight left.
In the third Choynski doubled over

terror on, getting only few glancing
blows on the head
But in the fourth Walcott jumped
in again harder than ever and made
try after try until at last ne landed
squarely on the broken rib again.
Choynski, in distress, could not
straighten mp. His jaw was in easy
reach now and Walcott hammered
him around the ring until the white
man was grOggy and spattered with
gore.
All through the fifth and the sixth
WalcOtt failed away as fast as he
could hit, seldom missing Choynskf's
head with his terrific wallops. The
haxen-haired fighter was reeling from
side TO side as Walcott beat him with

BETTING a SECRET.

The betting was the secret of the
whole thing. Choynski, sick enough
for the hospital. and with a broken
rib, was as good as a gold mine for
the insiders. Not a word was whis-
pered about his condition, and bets
on Walcott were placed merrily
wherever a sucker" could be found
There was little to do but rake in
the coin.
Choynski, in shape, should have
been a tOpheavy favorite over the
black welterweight. The fact tAat
Choynski was not in shape was care
fully guarded. At the beginning
ChOynski was a 2 to 1 favorite. and
thousands of dollars were wagerei at
these odds. BY the time the men
stepped into the ring the odds had
gone 70 TO l on Choynski, and
even such wise bettor as AL Smith
placed $1,000 of Choynski money
against $500 of Walcott coin at the
ringside. Like many others, Smith
was not in on the killing"
Now the fight.
When the men stepped TO the mid
die OF the ring Choynskt looked like
a giant beside Waleott. The Califor.
MAN was 5 feet 10 IL inches tall;
Walcott was 5 feet 1 1-2 inches. AS
soon as the bell rang Choynski
spared cautiously. But Waicott. al
ways a fury in the ring, ripped
his guard and smashed home
a terrible blow right over the broken
rib. Some one must have coached
Walcott. Choynski doubled over in
agony, and the Barbados negro
slipped in a left hook to the same
spot. Choynski was practically a.
beaten man at that moment. Bring
Ing his right over TO, the jaw, Wal
colt dropped him heavily. Referee
Johnny White counted nine before
Zoe Choynski could rise to his feet.

END CAME IN SEVENTH.

The seventh saw the end. Walcotl
sprang at Choynski like a bslldog
and beat him all over the ring. II
was a pitiful sight. All that the big
fellow could do now was fan IN with
arms extended ana try TO clinch.
Walcott rained blows about his ears
and on his jaw and sunk the sodden
gloves into his body until there was
nothing left Of Choypski. the fighter.
but the dim spark OF dauntless
courage that kept him on his feet.
The crowd was in an uproar. Even
those who had wagered fortunes on
Choynsk were calling 90 the referee
90 stop it.
Walcott Knocked the half-senseless
man fat with a right-hander He
rose. Again the black demon ripped
I'm mercilessly, and had beaten his
helpless opponent back 20 a corner
when job ny White stepped in and
stopped the carnage
There was a sensation when the
news reached the streets. People
could not believe that little Walcott
had beaten Choynski. the great fight
er, who had drawn with Jenries.
There was more OF a sensation a day
later when the facts leaked out. Pub
lie sentiment condemned the crooked
work of a few men and in
the revulsion of feeling caused

Erne drew back d trihe and
stopped for the fraction of a second.
Cans followed quickly with the right
hook and landed Il flush on the Jaw
just as Erne bobbed his head back
within range. In that way Cans
scored one OF the most scientific
knockouts on record.
This incident showed what a close
student OF the manly art Joe Cans
was. He was one OF the quickest
thinkers that ever stood in the ring
When Dial Hawkins in their first en-.
counter, put Cans down with cork
ing lett-hand smash. IL looked as II
the Baltimore Negro was out.
But Cans. weak and dazed, got
up at the count OF and
worked the right hook 10 the
jaw for a clean knocK-down Just
as Hawkins closed In TO finish him.
Another great right hook put Haw.
kins away in the second round.
Nearly all OF Robert Fitzsimmons'
victories were due TO half-arm jolts
on the jaw or stomach at close quar-
tiers or in break-aways He stopped
Hall, Maher, Creedon, Sharkey and
others in this manner before ne met
Corbett for the worlds title at Car.

Fitz made a study of Corhett and
decided that the latter's stomach was

the inventor Of the "left-hand shift !"
which he landed on Corbetts solar
plexus in the fourteenth round and
put Jim down for the nal count. Be
fore this wonderful punch landed.
Corbett outboxed Fftzsimmons with
remarkable ease.
Jeffries is essentially a left-handed
fighter. 1t is said that he can hit hard
er with that hand than with the
right. His most effective punch Is a
rigid left-hand hook, with which he
stopped Fitzsimmons, Rubin. Cor
bett, and Munroe. In each instance
he reached the body with this wal
Top following it quickly with a smash
on the jaw,
Can Jeffries land the left hook on
Jack Johnson's jaw? The negro is
noted for his invulnsrable blocking
and clinching. He is aot so fast on
his feet as Corbett was nine years
ago, and may find 1t a hard matter
70 keep out of harms way, but it
must be remembered that johnson
is three years younger than Jeffries
and that the latter has been idle for
five years.
Jefries, however, may surprise
the sporting world If he can recover
his old form as he is able to stand
the gaff, can hit like the kick of a
mule, and is clever ring general.
If he goes after the jaw or body and
lands. 1t is believed he will win. But
IL johnson stalls and stays for any
great length of time without sus-
tanning serious punishment, Jeffries,
because OF lack of his old stamina,
may tire.
