.ATTELL STILL THE
BOS50F HIS GLASS
He Is Still Regarded as the Cham
pion Featherweight of
America.

There has been a pronounced slump
in the affairs of the feathcrweight cir
Gle for several months as we'll aa in
most of the other divisions. Yet 1t is
Interesting to note the way Abe .lttcil
goes on year after year cilnging to
his title without the least opposition,
Abe Is like Topsy in that he just grew
into the featherweight championship.
The FIRST twenty--seyen men who
donned the mltts and faced the little
Californian went to sleep or quit, and
among them was Eddie Hanlon. who
afterwards became famous as one OF
the toughest lightwetghts that ever
climbed through the ropes. Eight
years ago Attell met George Dixon and
fought him a fifteen-round draw, and
then came Buddy Ryan, who. after the
bout grew so big he attempted TO take
the ,wclterweight title. Attell met
Harry Forbes when the latter was in
his prime and secured an even break.
When Terry McGovern found he
could no longer make the bantam
weight he turned the crown over to
Danny Dougherty, his pal who lost it
to Forbes, and Attell promptly knock
ed out Harry and won the title in 1904
at St. Louis.
A,tell demonstrated wha. wonder
full fighter he is by meeting Young
Erne. Battling Nelson. Kid Herman,
Tommy Murphy, Freddy Welsh, Owen
Moran and Tommy O'Toole. The Ter
rible Terry IcGovern had been
mothered by Young Corbett and was
out of the running when Corbett be-
gan to take on beef and found he no
longer could make 12S pounds at G
o'clock the day he fought. This was
too near the lightweight limit. and
while Corbett was meeting Jimmy
Britt. Eddie Hanlon and Battling Nell
son. -Attell pounded on the press and
was granted by sort of general opin.
ion the featherwcight claims.

of(ense may warn the offender and
give him an opportunity to escape, and,
further. that to specify in such a case
would deprive the investigation Of the
| grand jury of the advantage of secrecy
which is characteristic of the proceed
ings.
Justice Swayze shows that the ques-
tion has recently been before the SUI
preme Court of the United States,
which has reached the conclusion tina
the grand jury has general power to in
vestigate. and he declares that If the
grand jury has this power, it follows
that it may subpoena witnesses gener-
ally, ever when it is unknown whether
or not a crime has been committed.
Taking up the question of his power
to compel the production of the books
Justice Swayze says thai this being the
case before a grand jury in which the
| production of the books may furnish
| evidence, the cause is a proper one.
The opinion concludes: Il am of the
opinion, therefore, hat under our prac-
tise | ought to make the order. The
questions which have arisen as to the
rights of corporations under the bill OF
rights to be protected against UNI
reasonable searches and seizures, and
the privileges against characterization
embodied in the bill of rights of the

this case, since the prosecutor asks
only for certain specified books, and it
is not claimed that the production of
these books within the State will inter-
fere with the business operations of the
