SAN FRANCISCO.-All local fight

in the bleachers, to 800 at the ring
side
The space is so large that the out
side bleacher seats will command as
good a view as those near the ring.
1t is claimed. Every seat will be
numbered so that a man who buys a
cheap bleacher seat need not come
any earlier than the sport" who has
a box seat by the ring-side. Seats
VIII range in price from $40 to 800,
and anyone who has a check for a
seat will get his particular seat.
Gleason also plans to place blocks
OF seats with leading railroads in
eastern cities and have reserved seats
for the fight sold with railroad fare.
In this way anyone in Chicago or st.
Louis may travel in peace and COM
tort, knowing if he is late in arriving
here that his seat is all right.
1t has not been decided whether
or not the big grand stand, which
was accustomed to hold 10000 to
5000 people at a time, will be used
for part Of the arena, but it is al
most sure that special arena. cana
Bile of holding between $4,000 and
1000 persons, will be erected in the
infeld, and that the latter will be
carefully boarded over so that no
harm may come to it through the
trampling of thousands of feet.
Architects employed by Richard
and Gleason will journey over to the
track some time this week, and will
then decide just how the crowds may
best be taken care of, with a view
to affording every spectator a full
and uninterrupted view of the pro-
ceedings in the ring.

MAY EQUAL LIQUOR INCOME
Near Beer Will Pay Georgia $780,
600. Cities and Towns Now
Sending in the Cash.


ATLANTA.-Indic are that
the near beer tax this year is going
to make almost, if not quite, as good
showing as was predicted for it.
There are twenty-siX cities and
towns in the state in which near beer
may be sold under the new law, con-
fining the sale to cities and towns of
a population of $500 or more.
Only eight of these have been
heard from, and the receipts to date
are $111,387 1t is true that these
include the largest cities in which
near beer is sold, but further re-
ceipts are still to come from them.
There is every indication, there
fore, that the receipts from the near
beer tax will go considerably over
5000, 900, and perhaps reach $780,
600, which was as much as the state
received from the liquor tax at the
time liquors were allowed to be sold
in Georgia. So, while whisky is
gone, officially, the state still gets
practically the same income, and
will probably continue to do so un-
til the prohibitionists succeed in leg
islating near beer out. They prom

SWAIN OF OVERWEIGHT SUES HIS
LOVE OF SIXTY-EIGHT FOR $4,000 BALM

About three years ago Catterton
met Mrs. Mcknight at a social gath
ering at her home. The widow in
vited the young man to call again,
and he became daily visitor for
about eighteen months. Then, it is
alleged, Mrs. Mcknight proposed that
they marry. He agreed, and a month
or two later obtained marriage Ii
cense.
Mrs. Mcknight was to meet her
fiance to go to a clergymans home
to have the ceremony performed, he
says, but when he went to her home
she told him she had changed her
mind, and that they would wait uAtil
she had her house fixed up and they
would be married there. Afterward,
it is declared, Mrs. Mcknight still
declined to marry, but told Catterton
she would leave him $4,000 in her
will.

BARS AGAINST FROZEN
MEAT TO BE LIFTED

Berlin, Oct. 21.-The question of
the day in Vienna is whether frozen
meat from Argentina is to be allow
ed importation into Austria or not.
The increased cost of meat In the
Austrian cities, which has led to a
number of so-called meat striks, is
du not to an excessive tariff-for the
duties are moderate-but to the long
continuance of tariff wars with Serv-
ia and Russia. the chief cattle-raising
countries In the neighborhood of the
monarchy.
During these tariff wars the i'm
port of cattle has been practically
prohibited, and the Austrian. and
Hungarian herds have been depleted
to such an extent that they are no
longer sufficient to feed the growing
population, especially In view of the
, fact that many of the prime animals
are exported to Germany. Com
mercial treaties. permitting the i'm
port of limited quantity of slaught-
cred cattle, have this year been con-
cluded, but that with Servia has not
been ratified, and Roumania has so
reduced her production of cattle dur
ing the long tariff war that she has
at present very few to send.
The only available source of sup
ply. therefore. to make up the defi-
cheney, would be frozen meat from
over the seas, but the import of this
was unfortunately forbidden in the
last ausgleich between Austria and
Hungary. on alleged grounds of pub
lie health. Impressed by the agita-
ton. the Austrian government has
/ expressed its Willingness to allow 1O,-
! 600 tons of Argentine meat to be
| imported via Trieste and has ap-
preached the Hungarian government
| for its consent, which is considered
necessary under the terms of the
ausgleich; but in Hungary the gov
ernment seems unwilling to accede
The daily sentinel., 1910-10-29

to this request. 1t is quite possible,
therefore, that this question of for
eign meat is destined to become a
new cause of disagreement between
the two halves of the monarchy
Meanwhile it is being realized
here that the trade in frozen meat,
if allowed. will require special knowl-
edge and appliances. There is no
cold storage in Trieste. the Austrian
railways have no suitable trucks, and
there are no places for properly
thawing the meat when 1t arrives in

auspices of the Vienna chamber of
commerce and the town council. left
here yesterday for London, to study
