FIGHT PROMOTERS
 LOST MUCH MONEY

New York, September 16.-The Morris Flynn fight in Madison Square Garden last night. which resulted in defeat for the oSlahoman white hope" proves to have been disastrous venture for the New York promoters. according to the figures published here today, The high prices charged for seats-s2 to $20-llept the crowd down to about 3000 persons and most of these were in the cheaper sections. Boxing fans estimated the gate receipts at about Sl5,000 Out of that total the promoters were under contract to give Morris s10,000 and Flynn 5000, leaving the club apparently with a deficit of $20oO aside from the expense of staging the bout.
 Police reports show that the fight crowd, though smaller than expected was har- yes. for pickpockets. At least 5000 in money was stolen and as much more in jewelry. number of men arrested in the fight crowd were held at the various police stations and the police expect to arrest more today. Ii 1s declared that at least 300 fight fans were robbed during the evening.
 
 the battle was the presence in a box office of three young women. They were dressed in mems clothes and the disguise deceived the gatekeepers and a few of the spectators. Once in their seats they betrayed themselves by their self-con- sciousneSs.
 Strange to say their presence created no fiutter in the crowd, which was in- tent on the programme, and nobody re- uuested them to leave. once the main bout began they were as little noticed as though they had been lay figures in front of a clothing store. All three smoked cigarettes throughout the evening.
 Fight fans agreed today that the defeat of Morris was the most complete ever seen here. No pugilist of modern times ever took such a hammering as did Morris. He was unable to block or side-step Flynn's wallops and the only protection he could provide for himself

Out to the first hole trooped the record breaking gallery and there the crowd, loyal to Herreshoff though it was, cheered Hilton to the echo as his ball rolled into the cup for the last time and won the great match.
 An clement of luck entered Into the play of the extra hole and marred an otherwise perfect match, for on Hilton's approach the ball. which was sliced. hit one of the rocks that line the Apawimis course and rebounded to the green instead of remaining in the rough as 1t ordinarily would have done.
 But Herreshoff really deserved to lose, for he stopped his second badly and was over the hole In the third. He tried hard to make the long putt necessary for half, but it was short and Hilton stepped up to his ball and ran it down for four, the hole and the match.
 The cards:

MACON IS MISTAKEN,

Representative Macon of Arkansas
used his privilege on the floor of the
House to make a personal attack upon
a newspaper correspondent, deuouncing
him as a liar, muckraker, and so on, In
the choicest style of billingsgate. After
the session OF the House was over, the
correspondent faced Mr., Macon, de-
off his coat and announced his inten-
ton Of thrashing him. But friends in
tervencd, and no blood was spilled.
The next day Representative Macon
arose in his place in the House, called
attention to the incident, pleaded the
personal privilege of Representatives
not TO he molestcd for anything said in
debate. and wanted the newspaper man.

APOLOGY TO STANDARD OIL.

A curious thing has happened, and
if has passed without much notice IN
tbe press. Mr.. Cleveland Moffet pub
lished in Hampton s Magazine state
ment that the Standard Oil Company
is poisoncr of American children
through the manufacture of glucose,
which il makes and sells for the manu-
facture of impure candy. The Stand
ard Oil Company promptly resented TINS
charge, and threatened suit for slander
in case il were not retracted and
apolopy made. The retraction came
accordingly, Nh Moffct printing in the
magazine the apology required, ad-
dressed to tho President of the Stand
ard Oil Company, wherein he says;
.'Upon Investigations have ascer'
| tained that YOUR company was IN no
way connected with the transactions
referred to, and ] hasten to rctract In
the fullest manner all charges made
against your company, and to express
nv sincere regret that / should have
! fallen into this serious error
Perhaps Mr.. Moffet thought from
tbc compIacency with which the Stand
ard Oil Company had viewed all attacks
upon il hitherto, that he was safe III
making any sort of an attack upon
that company that he might choose
But he found his mistake, And in tins
connection the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican very justly calls attention to
the fact that magazine writers have
months in which to prepare their ma
terial, and. therefore, they have no cx
cusc for being wrong in their facts, OF
wabbly in their discussions based upon
those facts. 1t is different with daily
newspapers, which are at times liable
TO error, by reason of the imperfect1or
OF tho reports they receive, and being
called upon on the spur of the moment
to make comment OH matters OF puplic
concern. 1t is not surprising that daily
newspapers arc al times erroneous II

with which those comments must b'

seeking for an American committee to

who may help that ancient kingdom
out of the financial distress into which

quent testimonial TO the fact of our dis.

We trust that Persia may be able TO

she seeks. In the meantime. we may
| be permitted to suggest that Mr.. Car

magnificent financier, philanthro-

scale TO his fellow beings, might head
! this American commission, which is de-

in that commission, it would be an ad-

An American commission with Mr.. Car

OF il. would do such good to Persia
as could be conceived of in No other
way; and America could spare these
men for time in the service Of Persia
with a self denying content that woul1
