BAT NELSON
BADLY BEATEN
A Very Interesting Accourt 81
the Hard Fight In Which the
Dane Lost his Championship.


The following interesting story
was written by w w. Naugh,on.
sporting editor Of the San frances
co Examiner:
Battling Nelson is no longer
champion. bu, the extent oil his
powers OF endurance Is still thing
to he guessed at.
His fight with Ad Woigast at
Richmond was stopped by Eddie
Smith in the fortieth round at a
time when Nelson stood upright on
his feet. But the referee acted
wisely, for in one or two OF the
rounds before the last Nelson
leaned across the ropes in a man
ner that suggested impending col
lapse.
His face was punched out OF all
semblance 10 human countenence
and great strawberry olotches
around his stomache and above
his hips bore testimony TO the
merciless battering OF Wolgast's
fists.
Nelson was TOO feeble to fight on
with any hopes Of success. Vol.
CASTS eyes were snapP,, while
Nelson's were lusterless. The
Dane had lost all sense CT distance
and direction and could only fling

He photographed" his blows as

so that even il he had retained the
power TO hurt, his intentions were
SO palpable that his opponent had
ample time in which to escape.
TIE champion was a mere
punching bag Tor waspish Wolsas'
and to have allowed the thing &c
continue would have been to have
incurred risk OF fatality.
1t could be seen in several OF the
rounds before the finish that the
referee was on uneasy street. He
eyed Nelson closely, especiall,
whenever the man from Hegewiscf
arose from one OF his leaning posi-
hons across the ropes, A. the enc

MEN UNABLE
To GIVE BAIL
Three of Alleged Boat Thiev-
es Committed to the
County Jail.
HELD FOR GRAND JURY

Three of the four men arrested yes
terday, charged with being implicated
in a series of boat robberies, were
taken to New Brunswick this morning
in default of 5000 bail each, to await
the action of the grand jury. Joel Van
Pelt, the other, furnished bail and was
released
The men in custody are Fred, "Spot" "
street, John Cusack, twenty-five years
old, of 394 Rector street and William
Wheeler, of Broad street. Besides hay-
ing to furnish bail, Van Pelt was fined
$50 on charge preferred by Chief
Burke of maintaining junk shop with
out license
After being given the "third de-
gree" three of the four men confessed
to having stolen and disposed of the
boat fitting. The other, John Cusack,
pleaded not guilty on the grounds that
he had only been a witness when the
metal was sold.
All of the men, excepting Van Pelt,
were arraigned this morning on charges
of grand larceny preferred individually
by William Walters, James O'Hagen
and John Desmond Van Pelt was ar
raigned on a charge of receiving stolen
goods, also preferred by the three men.
In addition to this he was accused by
Chief Burke of maintaining an ille-
gitimate junk shop. When asked by
the recorder if this was true, he re-
piled that he purchased the junk ON
the license of another dealer.
The three men are accused by the po-
lice Of having stolen brass and metal
fittings aggregating over 500 from
boats tied up at William Walters boat
house. Almost every night, the police
say, they have been making excursions
to these boats, and each time carried
something away with them. Propell-
ors, brass lamps, two eighteen foot
shafts and numerous tools have been
stolen. These it was charged were
disposed of to Van Pelt. who says that
he sold them.
Detectives Huff and Long found sew
eral. of the articles at junk shop. They
also located quite a number in a lo-
cal hotel and Chief Burke contemplates
arresting the proprietor.
According to Chief Burke the
three men, while being taken to New
Brunswick this morning, disclosed
to City Marshal Walters a number of
places where they had sold the brass.
Besides mentioning Joel Van Pelt
they gave the names of several sa-
loonkeepers whom they said had
bought the junk. Chief Burke says
that the saloonkeepers will be ar

PHILADELPHIA
STRIKERS HERE
Six of Street Car Men are
Soliciting Funds to
Aid Cause.
HAVE AUTOMATIC PIANO

Six of the striking car conductors
of Philadelphia are in this city today
soliciting funds for their fellow
strikers. They gave their names as
Charles e. Small. Walter Davis, John
Carney, Harry Stopped, Fred G. OFT
and w. Sontag
The conductors are making a can
vass of the towns in upper New Jer-
sey. Their last stop was New Bruns-
wick, and they intend to work as far
north as Paterson, provided the
strike Is not called off or broken up
in the meantime.
Yesterday they attempted to Sc
cure permit to solicit from Mayor
Florance, of New Brunswick. but
were unsuccessful. They were only
allowed to remain in that city an
hour. Mayor Bollschweiler, how
ever, did not see any reason why any
such course should be taken and as
q result he has allowed the men to
remain here.
The men solicit funds by giving
several selections on a street piano
and afterwards collect the coins. All
six present the appearance of hard
suffering. Their clothes, which were
once railway uniforms, are ragged
and soiled and their shoes are in the
same state. Each man is allowed a
dollar a day for hotel bills, food and
travelling expenses.
