MObs Try to See the
Boxing Exhibitions
Being Held in London
Fifteen Thousand Stand in a Blizzard
Clamoring for Admission to
the Arena.

NEW YORK. Jan E.-The success which
has attended the efforts Of Hugh u Nc
Intosh to raise the plane OF boxing among
lovers Of the sport in London disposes OF
reports sent out that the lessee Of the big
arena at Olympia was dissatisfied with
the conditions which prevail and was about
TO leave the field for some one else. The
fact Is that at one OF the recent bouts
held at Olympia fully 1900 persons waited
four hours, struggling for admission. a
blizzard raging at the time, and making
it an extraordinary occasion altogether.
Mcintosh and Jimmy Britt who is as
ISOLATED in this venture with the Aus
tralian, seem to have touched the keynote
Of the situation through the medium Of
popular prices which run from approxi>
mately 60 cents to $40 with seats for all
At the Moir- Wells bout every scat was
sold an hour before the doors were opened,
and before the fight started hundreds were
willing to pay almost anything to get
within the Enclosure. An attempt was
made to prevent spectators standing, and
on the whole the methods OF the manage,
ment have met with nothing but praise, az
Londoners now know that they can wit
ness the best boxing bouts at moderate
price and also be assured OF comfort
On February / Perky Flynn of Boston,
who recently defeated Jack Crwinl Sulli-
van, viii box Jack Burns OF California,
who was. beaten by Bill Lang recently.
Sam Langford will be in Flynns corner.
Because OF some dissatisfaction over the
outcome OF the Wells-Moir match arrange
ments are making to bring this pair to-
gether again on February 4
What is expected to be the battle OF
the season is carded for February IS, when
Sam Langford and Bill Lang box This
will be at twenty rounds and the winner
will challenge Jack johnson for the world q
championship.
In all likelihood adverse reports concern
ing Mcintosh arose because his lease OF
Olympia Annex expires on February "a
He expects to secure another big building
so as to provide Londoners with the same
quality of sport as at the Annex. Mcintosh
desires to get building which will give
him more room and one in which he can
have at least eight months uninterrupted
boxing each year.
1t is his intention il he cannot secure
the building he is now negotiating for. to
return TO Australia, taking with him some
of the best English boxers for contests in
the Sydney stadium. He intends to return

Big League Stars

NEW YoRK Jan sit would naturally
be supposed that most major league bali
players hailed from some large town,

fact most OF them hail from villages little
known to fame and lightly regarded by

United labor bulletin., 1911-03-02
MINERS ARE RELEASED;
WHITF0RD IS ACCUSED
Old Paramour Accuses whitfOrd
of Receiving $4,000 To
Imprison Men.

The Good Book says: He whom the
Lord loveth He chasteneth." The Bulletin
desires to remark that the Lord must
have much love for Judge Whitford, for
He has certainly handed him an awful
package"
Whitford has been accused by Mrs.
Margaret Miller Of accepting $4,000 for
his work in imprisoning the 16 miners.
Mrs Miller says that a man by the name
Of Odyth, formerly detective in Cripple
Greek. handed her the money and that
she handed it to Judge Whitford, in
room at 1913 Arapahoe street, three days
before the 16 miners were sentenced.
That she tore the wrapper from the
package SO that Whitford could see that
she knew ii was money.
That the man who hired her to deliver
the money said he was working for the
mine owners and later told her it was
$4,000.
That she had known whitford in an
intimate way seven or eight years ago.
Mrs. Miller gave this testimony before
the legislative committee that is investi-
eating the charges made against Whit
ford by John McLennon, president of the
Colorado State Federation of Labor. She
says that there was a bald-headed.
square jawed man in the room with Whit
ford when she handed him the money.
Mrs. Miller says that she is not mis-
taken in the man being Whitford for she
has known him for years. She said that
she first met him on a train and that
they became quite friendly, and she told
the committee that their intimate rela-
tions had continued for years.
In 1905 she was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for murder and while there
Whitford passed through the institution
with some friends and sneered at her
when he recognized her. She is now
out on parole. and II is believed that IT
was a coincidence that Odyth happened to
choose her to give whitford the money.
and that when, she gave him the money
all the hatred that had been pent up
since Whitford sneered at her in the pen
tentiary was used to ruin him. The
woman makes no secret of her past or
her relations with the 'virtuous'' Judge.
Il is said that other testimony has been
given TO the committee that reflects on
the moral character of the man who is
cealing out Justice in such big chunks
that he cannot handle them properly.
If the woman fs not telling the truth
she should be return TO Canon City.
II she Is telling the truth Whitford
will get the trip instead.
Following the testimony OF the woman
Whitford went before Judge Bliss and
asked ihat Srhnu jury De uTaNn 10 III
vestigate him, but Judge Bliss refused
the prayer OF the muchin-trouhle Judge,
telling him that grand juries were not
ordered TO investigate or eNonerate pri-
vate citizens. but TO prosecute law
breakers
whitford says that he ought TO be i'm
peached and sent to prison II charges
are true and that he desires full inquiry;
that he is innocent OF either taking a
bribe or of immoral relations with the
woman.
Now that the miners have been re-
leased whitford is endeavoring to have
the case dismissed. but has not been sue
cessful.
