fries Camp Uncermoniously.
Reno, June 24.-Ex-champion John
l.. Sullivan was told by ex.Champion
j. j. Corbett that his presence was not
desired at the camp of ex.Champion
James j. Jeffries.
Why" asked Sullivan, as he stood
at the gate that had been closed to
bar him from Jeffries' cottage at
Moana Springs.
Because" replied Corbett, you
have knocked the big fight and called
it fake. Jeffries wants me to say
that he will not shake hands with
you"
That's a mistake. I've been mis-.
quoted" protested the veteran John l..
81 don't believe you were misquot-
ed" calmly answered Corbett, and af-
ter brief colloquy Sullivan moved
away and returned to Reno, with his
manager, Frank Ham.
The incident, which was witnessed
by number of Jeffries' trainers and
newspaper men, created a profound
sensation and tonight is the talk Of
the town.
The outcome is a matter of conjec.
ture.
Speaking for Sullivan, Manager Ham
declared that John l.. refuses to regard
Corbett as Jeffries' spokesman and
that he will return to Moana Springs
and make another effort to see JEFF.
fries personally.
Speaking for Jeffries, who at the
time of Sullivan's call was lounging in
his cottage, Manager Sam Berger as.
serts that Corbett was fully empow-
cred to speak for Jeffries and that If
Sullivan makes another effort to seek
him out, he will be accorded the same
reception.
"Of course" said Berger, "as the
public is given access to our camp
Sullivan has as much right as anybody
else to come and watch jeff work, but
Corbett quoted Jeffries correctly in
telling Sullivan that he will have moth
ing to do with him"
Sullivan, in statement to the AS
prepared for the treatment given him
and has no intention of forcing him
self on Jeff if Jeffries, does not care
to receive him.
He declared there was no founda.
ton for the belief of Jeffries' trainers
that he had roasted Jeffries and had
termed the coming fight "frame-up."

BOUGHT Minnows Of Msvbury.

Neigh, Neb., June 23.-Special to-
The News: John Maybury sold two
dozen minnows las they rum to w. H.
Compton yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Compton is a musical director and has
been instructing bands in music in
different parts of the United States
for number of years. He is now WIS.,
itine relatives at Tilden, and has been
making weekly visits to Neigh i'll
structing the concert band of this
place. While in town yesterday he
conceived the idea that the weather
conditions were about proper to catch
a good string of bass and crappies, and
upon inquiry was informed that May
bury always had plenty of bait on hand
and the best variety. The deal was
soon made and the order calling for
two dozen minnows-as they run-was
handed to the purchaser, who cheer
fully wendell his way to the Elkhorn.
In the meantime John had posted N.
w. Job to meet Mr. Compton at the
bridge to call his attention to the fact
that bait was scarce article below
the dam, but that they were plentiful
at the upper dam-more than one.half
mile distant. Mr.. Maybury does not
reveal the balance of the story, but it
is supposed that the joke was on the
purchaser, as usual, who without doubt
"tumbled" to the fact before he had
gone far in that hot sun yesterday
afternoon.

UNION
NOT EXEMPT
NOT PROTECTED FROM PRovis.
IONS OF ANTITRUST LAW.
TAFT PUTS UP ALL.oAY FIGHT
The President Finally Wins His Point
Against Exemptins Labor Unions
From Prosecution Under Antitrust
Law-Foueht it as Class Legislation

Washington, June 24.-Labor or
CARNATIONS have lost their fight to
gain exemption from prosecution un.
der the antitrust and interstate COM
MERGE laws.
Following a lively debate, and Jy
vote of 1873 to 1870, the house agreed
to the senate action striking out a
provision in the sundry civil bill that
would have effected this immunity.
When the sundry civil bill was be-
fore the house that body tackled on
an amendment by Mr.. Hughes, New
Jersey, democrat, providing that no
part of the appropriation for the en-
forcement of the antitrust laws shall
be spent in the prosecution Of any or
ganization or individual for entering
into any combination or agreement
having in view the increasing OF
wages, shortening of hours or better
ing the condition of labor, or for any
act In the furtherance thereof not in
itself unlawful"
The senate struck out the amend
ment. The house instructed its con-
ferees to stand by that provision, and
the senate conferees, resenting such
an ironclad exemption, refused to con.
slider the item.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, one Of
the house conferees, moved that the
house recede from it's position and
concur with the senate's action. The
motion stirred up hornets nest.
Taft Fought 1t as Class Legislation.
The action of the house. of repre-
sentatives in preceding from its labor
amendment to the eundry civil bill
marked the successful termination Of
an all-day fight by President Taft
against what he termed class legisla-
tion of an improper sort and appar-
emily relieved the last real obstacle
in the way of an adjournment of con-
gress within the next few days.
President Taft spent the day and
bent every energy toward the defeat
of the house amendment which pro-
posed to exempt labor unions from
operation of the Sherman antitrust
law. He threw his whole influence in
to the fight, sending for several
scores of representatives and urged
them to defeat the provision. Mr..
Taft said that il it cast him the sup
port of every laboring man in the
country he would not approve such
provision of the law. The laboring
man, he believed, was only entitled
to equality before the law and was
entitled to no more.
