In the present instance. have understood. this permit has been granted.
 T would suggest that you file com plaint with the district attorney of Alameda county. and if this Is a prize-fight and not boxing contest, he has the law in his hands to put a stop 10 it. In all probability. how ever. the local authorities will be se- riously handicapped until such time as the law is amended so that a dis tinction is clearly shown between n prize-fight and boxing contest"

CHEMIST VERSUS CHEMIST
 N THE HYDE TRIAL
Witness for Defense Says Former Poi
 son Analysis Was Defective.

Kansas City. May 5.-Testifying at the Hyde trial today. pr. Walter NJ Cross. city chemist of Kansas City, branded the analysis made by Dr Victor c. Vaughn. on the liver of Col. Swope. as incomplete.
 Ninety per cent of the substance that remained when pr. Vaughn made his finel estimate of the amount of poison in the organ might have been foreign. said Dr. Cross. The witness pointed out that as Col Swope had used a tonic containing cinchonidia, this drug would remain after the process Dr. Vaughn used had been completed.
 No claim was made by D-. Vaughn that he got entirely pure strychnine from the liver of Col. Swope. He said the foreign matter was so small, however, that he could make good estimate of the amount of poison present. Z
 Dr. Cross was examined by the defense to explain the presence of typhoid in the Swope residence. but he failed.
