man Is Announced-Then Two
Older Folks Get Together.

Jefrtes and Johnson could have Sc
cured pointers in punching and foot
work were they at the corner of Nine
teenth street and Second avenue at
1880 last evening, when two young
sters, boy and girl, not over 10
years of age, engaged in a terrific
scrap lasting fully 10 minutes, wien,
both their faces covered with gore,
from one Of the spectators that q po-
/ iiceman was approaching.
What the fight started about no one
seemed to know; neither were the
names of the participants learned. First
the boy would fell the girl; then she
would gain her footing and with a
lunEe and drive to the solar plexus
she would send the boy swirling to the
pavement, after which she would
pounce upon him and beat him in the
face until she was almost exhausted.
This APPARENTLY would give the boy
time to recover his wind and he would
get up on his feet and open his bat
teries on the girl. The fight attracted
a large crOWu OF people,
Long and Short Men Clash
No sooner had the children disap-
peared through Spencer square than
two men, possible as a result of an
argument over the fight between the
youngsters, came together. One was
short and the other tall, but the latter's
height did not seem to give him any
advantage over his adversary of lesser
stature, for the little man got the big
one against one of the square arch
posts and rammed his head until he
almost had him ready for the count.
Then the long fellow locked one Of his
long arms around the little mans
neck and gave him a spin that brought
him in contact will the pavement with
a sickening thud. Some one shouted
that the police were coming, and this
ended the fight, the men disappearing
in the same direction the scrspping
children had taken.

Four alleged Observation-Disclosures
Cannon, alias Daily. George Arculing
Walter Colman and John Cleghorn--
were arrested yesterday afternoon by
Detectives Bailey, Silver and Lambert
and lodged in the city prison The ar
rests We're made on complaint of Vlado
Boris. proprietor of restaurant at
1912 Post street, who alleges that they
swindled him out of 1855 at a game of
poker with marked cards.
Boris met the quartet in a saloon in
O'Farrell street near Fillmore Thurs
day and they took him to a room near
the saloon. He notified the police and
the detectives set a trap for the bunko-
men. When Boris met them yesterday
afternoon they took him to the rooms
of Cannon at 2000 Sutter street, where
Cannon holds out a clairvoyant. The
detectives burst into the room where
the five were playing poker.
In the room the detectives found all
the paraphernalia used by bunkomen
in the shape of spurious mining stock
marked cards and confederate bills,
which were seized. Under the carpet
were found electric buttons, so that by
pressing the foot on the carpet a bell
would ring and sound an alarm when
necessary.

Denies Rumored Combine

W. Fl. Avery, the local manager for
the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, returned yes
terday from Japan on the liner Chiyo
Maru. While Avery was in Japan the
internal affairs of the Togo Kisen Kai-
sha were reorganized, but of this Avery
would not speak beyond saying that
the company was never in better shape
and that there would be no change in
the service. He knew nothing, he said,
of any intention to absorb or combine
with the Nippon Yusen kaisha or any
other trans Pacific company.
According - advices received by the
Chiyo Maru Baron Shibusawa is now
the dominating power in the Toyo
Kisen kaisha. During the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha's recent nancial distress the
baron lent President Asano 1000, 600
yen. To protect his loan the baron
has placed K. Okowa, who is his son
in law and nephew, in the company as
vice president The position of general
manager has been abolished and the
new vice president will hold the reins
until his uncle, the rich baron gets his
money back. President Asano remains
the official head of the concern, but the
vice president viii be the executive
chief. Former General Manager Shi-
raishi has been given the position of
ira ffic director.
Avery said that the Genyo Maru. sis
ter ship to the Tenyo and Chiyo, upon
which work had been stopped, is now
being hurried to completion and will
be ready for the transit Pacific run by
the end Of this year.
Mrs. Avery, who has been in Japan
for some months, returned home on the
