Frisco Supervisor and Former Boxer
Would Make Big Fight IS Rounds.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12-John L.
Herget, formerly Young Mitchell the
boxer. and now. chairman of the police
committee OF the board of supervisors,
has declared unequivocally in favor OF
granting a permit for 40 round box
ing contest in this city during the
month of July He stated tonight that
he thought that the Jeffries- Johnson
fight could be better handled in this
city by local promoters than any
where else on earth.
Herget's committe will decide on
made by Jack Gleason. one of the pro-
motors of the big contest, to hold a
4 round fight here. Gleason and
Herget are life long friends.
San Francisco promoters have
shown their ability to handle great
ring contests" said Herget. Il have
participated in some of them myself
and 1 was always satisfied with the
way things were conducted l can see
no harm in 40 round fights. The only
argument against them is a moral one,
and if the fights are not held here they
will be held some place else. So
what's the difference"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The state

governments interested regarding
Secretary Knox's recent note suggest
ing naturalization of Manchurian rail-
roads, and officials refuse to attach
much Importance to the view of some
of the foreign newspapers unfavorable
to the proposition.
In some instances newspapers are
known not to be in the confidence of
their governments nor to exercise any
potent influence in shaping their pol
icies. This is believed to be true as
to the japanese press.
1t is known at the state department
that Mr. Knox's naturalization sug-
gestion is receiving much favorable
consideration in the chancellories of
the powers interested, and because of
exceptional importance of the matter
it is not thought replies reasonably
can be expected for some time.
The department entertains no doubt
Of the wisdom of taking the Manchur-
ian railroads out of eastern politics
thus minimizing the danger of war
and believes no country would profit
by such course more than Japan.

MIR. RiPLEY,s REMARKS.
Why the Proposed Rates Were Better
 for All.

Chicago. May 31.-"They've got the pins set against us. was the first comment of E. P Ripley, president of the Santa Fe system, when in formed today that the government would seek to enjoin the railroads of the Western Traffic association from putting into effect the advance in rates scheduled for tomorrow. Mir. Ripley's subsequent remarks left no doubt that the railroads will fight the government with the full force of their great resources.
 "The shippers who have attended the meeting to protest again the ad- vance have no personal knowledge of the subject" the Santa Fe president continued. They have been deceived by the ringleaders of the movement. who distorted the facts and have juggled with the figures. If they will take the trouble to ascertain the truth-which is easily obtainable-the deception will become apparent
 There is no chance for juggling figures for deception by the railroads every item of our business is spread before the world Our offices are full of government inspectors to see

 The trouble began with what another teamster termed a friendly wrestling bout After being roughly jestled, Hawthorne went to his home for a pis- tol. His wife hid it, and after choking her he broke into a hardware store and obtained a revolver. He held up the general merchandise store of H. A. Adams for the cartridges. Then rush. ing into the street he began shooting
 A horse was stung by bullet and ran away. taking the driver out of range. Hawthorne then went to the Lawton restaurant and began shooting into the bar. The daughter of. Mrs Layton started to run and Hawthorne fired several times at her, but she escaped the bullet. Mrs. I.awton then and as sire turned to run Hawthorne shot her in the back. The wound is probably fatal. Hawthorne was then overpewered.

 The two champions of other days played handball in the morning and performed other gymnasium stunts. but soon Jeffries was out tinkering with his machine and Corbett had the gymnasium to himself for the rest of the day. He did not box. declaring his trip across the continent had made him sore. but he worked hard to get into form and said that in about week he would be fit for speedy spar ring Jeffries has not had on a box ing glove for five days
 The conversational war between Jack Johnson and Corbett waxes apace. When Corbett read an inter- view with Johnson in the morning papers in which Johnson was quoted as daring Corbett to box with him, the ex-champion grew angry Corbett declared that he would box Johnson for charity ana would exact only ten per cent with which he would buy monument for Johnson when Jeffries gets through with him"

 GRAND JURY lorimer Democratic Men- bers of Illinois Legislature MUST EXPLAIN fL0PpING One Says He Did So For
 Political Reasons Unin- fluenced By Jackpot" of Which He Had Never Even Heard
MUST EXPLAIN fLoPp|NG

Springfield. H., May 3I.-The lesis- lative investigation, in which the Sangamon county grand jury is en- gagged. took on a broader aspect today and several new angles were revealed. The start of the days work was the issuing of subpOenaes for three men who have not yet figured in the inves- tigatiOn. and the official close of the daily grind of the jurors was with the testimony of Representative H. D. McCullom of Louisville
 The new summOnses were for Repre- sentative A. NJ. Foster of Nashville. chairman of the fish and game com mission of the forty-sixth general as- sembly; Nathan H. Cohen. state fish commissioner. and B. F. Staymates, of Clinton. Dewitt county.
 Representative Poster and Fish Com missioner Cohen are to appear before the grand jury Thursday and will be questioned regarding a bill advocated by the state fish department which died in the committee presided over by Foster The chairman of the fish and game commission was also one of the democratic members of the house who voted for Lormier for sens- tor. and probably will be closely Ques- toned on the reasons he had for for saking the regular candidate of his party.
 B. F. Staymates. who is summoned to appear tomorrow, also will be asked why he left the supporters of the regu- lar democratic nominee and voted for Lorimer. The questions to be asked of Staymates will be particularly pointed as L. B. Stringer. the demo- cratic nominee, is resident of Stay mates district
 Representative McCullom. the only assemblyman questioned by che jurors today. is from the Holstlaw district and although a democrat, voted for Lori mer McCullom told the jurors he vot- ed for LOrimer for political reasons and had no knowledge of any monetary He denied all knowledge of legislative jackpot" After the ordeal he firmly declined to talk with newspapermen. He will be recalled to- morrow and will again face the jurors.
 A systematic summoning of all democrats who cast their votes for Lorimer is contemplated. It is the theory of the prosecution that such a move might uncover new clews.
 The inquiry into the fish bill is ex- pected to be productive of results. The most valuable and fishing interests are said to be deeply concerned in all re- put upon the industry.

that all income and outgo are proper and properly accounted for. Our gross earnings are increasing. but our net earnings are decreasing.
 Who among the shippers would view such state of things in his own business with equanimity? But that is not the worst of it: such re- suits as are Aow being obtained-poor as they are-arise from policies that will result for evil for the future. be- cause the properties are not being improved or being kept up to the proper standard-and if we are for tunate enough a few years hence to have full crops and active business. and if the railroads are then unable to do what they are expected to do. these same shippers will perhaps per- cefve that they ought to have second ed, rather than opposed, the efforts of the railroads for better conditions. And again, that is not the worst of it we have recently increased wages to a large amount and the decrease in net earnings will surely be greater"

RAILWAYS RESPONSIBLE
 FOR ERRORS IN ROUTING
A Decision by the Interstate Com
 neree Commission.

Washington. May 31-In a compara- lively insignificant reparation case the interstate commerce commission today made a ruling of the highest import anee to interstate railways and ship pers. It held that a connecting line receiving a shipment without instruc- Hons may demand instructions from the initial carrier, but if instead of pursuing that course, it assumes re- sponsibility of routing, it must accept the responsibility for any increased charges that may follow a mistake in selecting the wrong route.
 The case in which the opinion was rendered becomes of peculiar import ance because more difficulty is experi- enced by the commission and by ship pers through the misrouting of freight than through any other complaints with which the commission has to deal.

AS TO ENCOURAGING RAILROAD

He Will Not Favor Aid For Any Special Line

Washington, May 31=President Taft announced today that during his administration he would not lend his approval to legislation designed to give government aid to speeific rail- road interests in Alaska. Instead he favors a general law that will apply to all who comply with it's provis- ions-a law modelled after the policy that has been in effect in the Philip pines for years.
 The announcement came in the form of legislative approval of a re- port made to congress by Secretary Ballinger on a bin which proposed specific aid to the Alaska Great Northern railroad. The fight over the bill is said to have been the cause of much controversy in the committees of congress. The back CTS of the bill it is claimed. have that those who opposed their measure were controller by the -Guggenheim syndicate.
 Governor Clark, former Governor Hoggart and Lewis P. Schackleford, republican national committeeman from Alaska have all been included in these omnibus statements.
 In this connection Mir Shackleford made public a statement tonight in which he charges that a lobby is being maintained in Washington in behalf of these special privileges" pills. He attacked Delegate Wicker shaw of Alaska. in vigorous fashion NIT. Shackleford believes the an- of President Taft's policy will do much to clear the air in Alaska
 Delegate James Wiekersham of Alaska, tonight declined to make a 'eply to MT. ShackIeford's statement except to say he had introduced ! bill in congress which was in ac- ,ordance with ideas expressed by he president and drawn after the Philippine law. He added that he vas for any plan that would insure he building of a railroad into the interior of Alaska, whether through he medium of a general law, or by id to a specific road.

 IN RETURN. The City Stirred By Remarks On EnsIand's Colonial Policy.

London. May 31-Theodore Roosevelt was today presented with the freedom of the city of London, and he accept ed the honor with a Liberalism that led him to frankness of speech that created sensation in Guild hall
 As former head of the country that once paid tribute to Great Britain, the American statesman gave the her duty toward her most trouble some dependency in Africa.
 Roosevelt said it was either right or not right for Great Britain to be in Egypt and to establish order there, and if not right she should get out
 Roosevelt eulogized British rule in Uganda and Soudan. He also de- clared Great Britain had given Egypt the best government that country had had in 1000 years, but in certain vital points it had erred.
 Timidity and sentimentality, he said, might cause more harm than violence and injustice
 Roosevelt denounced the nationalist party of Egypt as neither desirous nor capable of guaranteeing primary jus tice. He said it was trying to bring murderous chaos on the land.
 Some nation. said the former presi- dent, must govern Egypt. He hoped and believed that the English would decide the duty is theirs
 On the whole, the speech consti- tuted most forcible expression on foreign topics the distinguished visitor has made during his European tour
 Guild hall has been the scene of many stirring events since it's erec- tion in the fifteenth century. It was there that the trials of Anne Askew. Earl of Surrey and Lady Grey were held, but no audience of modern times has listened more intently to the pro- ceedings than that which gathered today to hear the former president of the United States.
 His outspoken views sent a thrill through his audience, which is likely to be felt outside the walls of the ancient council hall
