1t seems that there is as much atter-
math to the Johnson.Jetiries affair as
there was advertisement before. Ihe
truth is that the fight is over and this
matter of constant revival of it should
cease The public is generally satisfied
with it and ready and willing to cease
reading about it if the press of the coun-
try will kindly cease overworking IT,
Especially is this true Of James Corbett,
who is doing nothing more than simply
getting himself lot of easy and cheap
advertisement. 1t is true that Mr. Cor
bett cannot realize that his stunt can
readily be seen through. There is a meth
cd in his intense, or apparently intense,
desire to find someone, as he puts it, to
redeem the championship TO the white
race. and that method is to get himself
before the public and keep himself there
in order that he may gather Il little
easy coin for his show. The veil is too
thin and it's time for Mr.. Corbett to
wake up and fill his pipe with some other
dope.

which elected Lorimer, admitted re-

accusers are: White, Link, Beckmeyer
and Holstlaw White appears to have
conceived the plan of claiming to have
been bribed as basis for extoctlng
money from Lorimcr. 1t may be said,
after observing this witness; that it
is the opinion of the majority of the
committee that on credence should be
given any part of Whites testimony.
THE committee believes that even
conceding that four members of the
ASSEMBLY received money for votes for
Lorimer, it cannot be legally inferred
that any other member received money
for his vote for Eorimer. The majority
for Lorimer in the assembly was four
teen. Admitting four of the members
were bribed, he still had a majority and
his election was valid
TT is claimed that if the four wit
nesses named were bribed, those who
bribed them were equally guilty and
that the votes of Lee O'Neil Browne
Senator Broderick and Representative
Wilson should be excluded. The com
mittee can find no testimony warrant
ing the belief that any one 5f these
three was moved by corrupt influence
or that there are grounds for dcbuting

ably be those for the drilling of the

NORRIS EASILY
WINS FROM HART
Big Frisco Engineer Proves "Real
Hope" in First Fight With
Recognized Fighter.

Sapulpa, OKLA, Dec. 21.-Carl Nor
ris, of Sapulpa, the white mans hope, F"
defeated Marvin A. Hart, ex-champion
heavyweight of the world, before four
thousand people in the Robinson arena
here last night.
Groggy and weakened by the ter
rife blows Morris shot to Hart's jaw
and continuous hammering on his kid
neys, the old champion could scarcely
rise from his chair when the fourth
round was called. and his seconds
then threw up the sponge.
1t was Morris fight all the way.
Early in the first round he lifted the
former worlds heavyweight champion
with a terrific left to the head. In
the second round Morris hard drives
to the mouth had Hart groggy and
he continually clinched to save him.
self. They clinched when the gong
sounded at the end of the second and
Hart was in distress.
Hart suffered even more punish
ment at the end of the third than in
the former rounds. Morris continued
to hammer Hart's kidneys and the ex-
champion continually clinched to save
himself from sinking to the floor.
Both men were bleeding badly from
the nose and mouth. Hart weighed in
at 212 pounds and Morris at 235.
Hundreds of spectators were turn
ed away from the doors of the arena
and it was estimated that fully five
thousand people were on hand to see
the fight, many of whom were disap.
pointed in not being able to get into
the arena.
1t was Morris fifth victory and the
engineer moved a big step forward in
the world of pugdom. He is now in a
position to command the attention OF
the powers that be in the pugilistic
world, his mastery over the former
champion having plainly shown the
rugged merit of the engineer. 1t would
not be surprising to hear that James
J. Corbett, Gentleman Jim," one Of
the greatest handlers of fighters, would
take charge of Morris.
1t is said that bout will be ar
ranged soon between Miles Mcleod
the Missouri giant, training under Joe
Choynski, and Morris. Such a bout
has the support of Corbett and Others
and the victor of this fight will ther
be put into active training for the
much desired bout with Jack Johnson
whose goat is badly wanted.
Hart was powerless before Morris
and the match was unequal, Morris
beginning his heavy hammering from
the minute he stepped into ring. Har
entered the ring confident of his abilit,
to whip the unframed engineer, but ;
