BIG SPORTING EVENT.
Richfield to Have a Real Cham
piOnship Contest.

Richfieid sports are looking forward
to an interesting event scheduled to
come off here in the uear future
match between Young" Carroll and
Spider" Grant. Carroll was the peer
of the wonderful boxer, Extra Young
Fitzsimmons, when that celebrated Chi
nese boxer was in his prime, and those
who have seen Fitz with fur gloves on
his hands do not doubt mis- ability to still
set fast pace. Grant held the gas
tronomie championship of Minnesota
ty, winning this and other athletic rec
ords from Ole Kjarsten, the noted Nor
wegian footballer of Siwash College.
A comparison of some of the meas
urements of the two men may be inter
esting Carroll measures precisely as
much in girth as his opponent does in
height. Grant can spit 40 per cent the
farthest, but Carroll has it on him for
accuracy. Carroll can stop pig in an
alley; Grant would need to kneel or sit
down-his knees are too wide apart to
make good fence. But Grant is twice
as young as Carroll, and he has longer
hair, the same athletic color as the late
Mr. Samson stout man of history. He
could pass-in the dark-for really
Morse Viking, but for the anti-pass law.
Carroll has cultivated the original Brian
Boru, County Cork language for sew
eral years past, until he can say things
that would suffocate any one who I'M
derstood one-haif of them.
The bout will be refereed by Deacon

nasts in Kansas; he once beat Sock

The rivalry grew out of basket ball
ambitions. Carroll was captain and

The fact that the vessels owned by
the steamship companies forming the
pool, or a number of them, touch at
American ports, is the basis for pro-
ceedings against them under the Sher-
government jurisdiction to punish vio-
lations of law affecting both interstate
and foreign commerce. All the steam
ship companies involved in the pro-
posed proceedings are foreign organiz-
ations.
Inquiry Made in New York.
The matter has been under investt-

probably will direct the suit.

Root Supports Rail DILL
Washington, March 81. = In a
speech which occupied two hours and
which was not completed when the
senate adjourned Senator Root yester-
day came to the support of the ad-
ministration railroad bill. His speech
dealt almost exclusively with the pro-
posed court of commerce, which Root
defended notwithstanding that it ap-
pealed to him far less strongly than
did most of the other features of the
bill. He was questioned closely by
Cummins, Crawford and others, and
in response to these men said he
would favor an amendment to the bill,
permitting the representation of ship
pers in cases involving their interests.

Work of Day in Congress

Washington, March 31.-Following is
a summary of the proceedings of the
two houses of congress yesterday.
taken from the official records:
SENATE-After an ineffectual effort
to pass the house bill amending the
employers liability law. the senate re-
sumed consideration of the administra-
tion railroad bill. Senator Root sup
ported the railroad bill in a speech
lasting two hours He deboted himself
exclusively to the commerce court pro-
visions of the bill and will take up 9TH
er features of the measure today.
HOUSE-In the house a decisive vote
was cast against the Hobson bill to ap-
propriate one-twentieth of l per cent of
appropriations for armament for the
purpose of promoting peace. Democrats
and republicans alike Joined in defeat
ing the measure on the ground that the
method it proposed was not a proper
one for the promotion of arbitration
and universal peace.

arrive the evening of May and will

ELkiNS FAILED TO EXPLAIN
JOKER IN TAFT RAIL BILL

Bailey challenged him as to the effect
of the proviso contained in section II.
'The senator has omitted one of the
most Objectionable features of the
BILL" protested Senator Bacon, who
then called attention to the fact that
Senator Elkins had only casually allud-
ed to the proviso of section II.

chairman of the committee on inter-
state commerce. is In charge of this

may have written himself. but which,
1t is understood, was prepared for him.
He asked that he be not interrupted
while reading the speech, which was
accepted by many as an indication that
he was not sufficiently familiar with
the arguments he was presenting to
defend them.
Regarded Joke.
Senator Elkins' speech was regarded
almost as a joke. by the senate. He
utterly failed to disprove the charge
that the proviso contained in section
IL would legalize the Union Pacific
merger, which the government is now
endeavoriDg to dissolve under the
