"vOTES FOR WOMEN" CRY
OF CALIFORNIA CO-FDs

Bergley, Cal, Feb. 24.-"Votes for
women" the battle cry Of the Eng
lish suffragettes and their American
sisters, bids fair today to become the
slogan of the co-egs of the Univer-
sity Of California. The fair ones de-
mand at least two representatives on
the executive committee of the as
sociated students. They threaten an
extensive boycott of the men stu
dents unless their demands are grant
ed. The demand of the women would
necessitate a change in the constitu-
tion of the organization but the CO.
eds insist the change be made. Of
ficials oppose the plan, and a bitter
fight is in prospect.

Washington. Feb. 24.-Complete
denial of the report OF a government
victory In Nicaragua was given out
here last night in the shape OF dis
patches from General Estrada COM
manding the revo.utionists, and ad-
dressed to Senior Salvatore Castrillo,
representative OF the provisional gov
ernment.
The dispatches announce an over
whelming victory after a battle last
Ing three days, in which two generals
on the government side were killed. A
significant feature OF the cablegram
was found in the statement that Gem
eral Chamorro Is within striking dis
tance OF the capital and, in the opin-
ion of Central American diplomats
here. practically holds its fate in his
hands.
The cablegram, as translated fol-
lows:
Following three days of fierce
fighting. Generals Mena and Zeledon
absolutely destroyed the army of
Madriz in Chontales. which was un-
der the commands of General vasquez,
Godoy, Mata and Gonzales. The lat
ter were killed. One hundred Of the
enemy were killed and 200 wounded.
Scored complete victory. We know
that Chamorro is in the immediate vi
cinity OF Managua."

kilograms from the front reporting
victory threw Bluefields into the
throes of jubilation last night. In one
telegram General Mena reports the
complete route OF the government
forces at San Vicente. The other said
the important city of Granda was in
the hands of the revolutionsists, that
the steamer Victoria, which plies Lake
Nicaragua. had been captured and
that General Urelia Estrada, with
1000 men has formed junction with
General Chamorro and that their
combined force was now marching
northward and on to Nicaragua. The
only disappointing feature of the days
news was the failure definitely to To-

NELSON WANTS TO
ENTER LISTS AGAIN
BATTERED BATTLER WOULD
FIGHT HIS CONQUEROR
New Champion Will Probably Give
Him Return Match but VIII Make
Him Wait-Dane Will Probably
Meet Thompson First.

san Francisco, Feb. 24-Now that
the smoke of the Nelson Wolgast
battle has cleared away and numerous
reports of the defeated champions
serious injuries from the fight been
refuted by Nelson himself, the sport
ing world is devoting it's attention to
the possibility of a second meeting be-
tween the men. Nelson, from his
place of retirement in the baths, has
sent out repeated demands for anoth-
er chance. He insists that he is not
in form; that he still had a chance
when Referee Smith stopped the fight
yesterday. Wolgast says Nelson will
have to wait. He proposes to exercise
the privileges OF championship now
that he has won the title. He agrees
that Nelson is entitled to another
fight.
Sporting writers are inclined to
doubt that the men will meet again.
They apparently concur in believing
that Nelson has gone back and that
his age and years of training have
told upon him at last; but hold him
to be a dangerous man to beat.
NeiSOn NeESus lhOUipSOh.
In the meantime they are casting
about for the next fistic event. 1t
appears to be Nelson against Cyclone
Johnny Thompson. The managers of
the pair met today and again tonight
to DISCUSS a As round match at no
distant date. They are said to have
virtually agreed to general terms, the
winner to challenge Wolgast.
Robinson. Nelson's manager, con-
tinued his discussion of the Nelson
Thompson match up to the moment
of his departure for the east. At
the ferry he said that he would tel
egraph from Reno in the morning the
result of his talk with Nelson. Rob-
inson intimated that Nelson would
accept a proposition to fight here in
May.
Another topic of sporting CONVEX
sation tonight was the challenge from
Cans, who lost no time In claiming
Wolgasts attention. The negro ask
ed for 20 round bout but it is not
likely his challenge will produce re-
suits.
Nelson spent the day in the baths
here and left for Chicago last night.
He was much battered about the face
but showed no loss of spirit. He
says that he was overtrained and not
entirely himself. On his ability to
"come back" he said he was prepar-
ed to wager $4,000 as side bet.
Nelson said that he would devote
himself to his theatrical engagements
for the present and later go to his
ranch in Mexico for a rest.

New York Senator, Accused
Of Accepting Bribes, Makes
Reply to Charges.
EXPOSES CORRUPTION OF
BIG BRIDGE COMPANY
Through His Attorney. Accused Solon
Charges That Bridge Company Con-
spired 10 Defraud State and Cor
ruDt Legislators - Invective and
Denunciation Hurled F'Orth-Accus-
cs Conger of Being in on Crooked
Deals.

Albany. ~ Y, Feb. 24.-The first
day of Senator Jotham p. Aids reply
TO the Conger bribery charges was less
a defense than an attack.
The outline Of Aids case laid be-
fore the senate yesterday by his at
torney, Martin w Littleton, was a
burst of denunciation, invective and
accusation that, If proved, would lay
the bridge companies, one of the i'm
portant industries of the state, open
to prosecution for both conspiracy to
defraud and for legislative corrup-
ton
In striking the bridge companies,
Littleton hit also Senator Benn Con-
stood high in the councils of the
bridge building combine and still, it
is said, retains an interest in that bus
ness.
If Littleton carries out his promises
he will prove:
1. That Conger's charges and their
support by Hyram G. Moe are untrue.
2. That Aids activity in suppress
sing legislation hostile to the bridge
NOlh lelllltS III lSVO was uut "
of United States Senator Plat, the
republican state leader.
8. That Conger's statements are
unworthy of belief and testimony of
many of his witnesses is quite as un-
trustworthy because they. represented
corrupt corporations, which in Lit
tleton's own picturesque language,
have laid trail OF slime over five
states"
Afternoon Session.
The afternoon was devoted to the
examination of the clerk of the as
sembly internal affairs committee of
1901 in an effort to prove that Con-
ger in that year deliberately juggled
certain highway legislation until It
came out of the committee in a form
that suit the bridge interests.
The basis of Littleton's argument
was the Cleveland agreement" un-
der which, he alleged, 16 bridge con-
Germs conspired in 1901 to rob the
towns of New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan by collusive bidding.

Gaynor May Lead Democrats

Others are extremely likely to do so.
AS this situation stands before the
Democrats they are looking for Moses
to lead them, IT Mayor Gaynor should
happen to be the next governor of New
York and should make SUCCESS Of it,,
he would be almost inyincible Mt the
next Democratic national convention,
IL is true that Governor Judson Haf
mon is much in the limelight as the
possible, many think probable, nomi
nee for president He would be strong
factor if he carried Ohio this fall, and
doesn t slip up on some Of the
numerous political banana peeIs that
his friends are throwing in his
path. But the trouble with Uncle
Judson is that the Bryan wing
of the party has its suspicion of him.
1t does not like the fact that he was
SO long receiver for the Cincinnati.
Hamilton & Dayton railroad and it re,
members he was in the Cleveland cabi-
net.
1t has a deep, dark notion that he is
allied with the so-called reactionaries
of the Democratic party and is luke,
warm towards his nomination, to say
the least.
William J. Bryan is we'll known to
be hostile TO the nomination of Harmon.
On the other hand, the Bryan forces
would support Gaynor and so would
good many of the conservative element
of the party.
Looking at the situation in almost
any way one will, 1t appears as most
politicians here size it up, that if Gay
nor gets well he will be hard to catch.
