Show DisapprOvaI When the
Fight Is Stopped.

Another bloody fight, common oc-
currence of late, was pulled of in
front Of the New Harper on Second
avenue last night between two news
boys, Frank Burnwood and Andrew
Krevahe. The fight started as a re-
suit OF the earnest solicitations of sew
eral travelling men, who squandered
considerable time in an effort to
frame up the affair. and before the
combat was stopped Krevahe was
pretty badly battered up, and was
bleeding from the nose like a stuck
pig. crowd of nearly 100 people
stood around and let the boys ham
mer each other without making any
effort to stop the affair, while the
two travelling men acted in the ca
pacity of referees, separating the COM
batants only when they clinched.
The affair began about 6 O'Clock.
The two lads We're prevailed upon
finally to open hostilities after strong
arguments had been directed at them
as to why they should afford a little

NO POLICE IN SIGHT.
In round one. Krevahe started in
like a whirlwind and landed some
fierce jolts on the countenance of his
antagonist, but BurnwoOd came back
strong with right to the nose, caus-
the claret to spout. Both clinched,
and were separated, after which a few
blows were exchanged without any
great amount of damage
Round two took on the aspect of an
old fashioned rough and tumble bat
tie. Both boys rushed in a la Battling
Nelson style, clinched and went down
to the pavement where they pounded
each other amid wild yells Of apr-1ov-
al from the ringside spectators. At
this juncture, passers by stepped IN
and called a halt to the proceedings,
much to the disgust of the crowd

the fact that if the frineds of Mr..
Bddle, who are numerous, stick to

dearth of male dancing material at Sat.

Essential Element Of a Monopoly.
Washington, Jan. 10.-The most i'm,
portant development in the re-argu'
ment of the tobacco trust case before
the supreme court yesterday was the
failure OF the governments attorney
in reply to questions asked by tho
court, to define what in the govern.
ment's opinion, is the essential ele-
ment of monopoly. The government
later may clear up this point but as
matters stood yesterday counsel ap.
parently had no definite contention to
offer on this important subject.
The govcrnemnt's special counsel
seemed considerably embarrassed near
the conclusion of his argument by a
running fire of questions from the
bench.
The American Tobacco company in
the arguments was denounced as a
lawless, gigantic conspiracy in re.
straint of trade operating in contrac.
tion of the Sherman antitrust law.
1t was also portrayed as a model In.
