 Fistic Battle at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-After eight rounds of rough and tumble fighting before the National Athletic Club tonight, Jimmy Howard, of Chi cago, was given tae decision over Bill McKennon, of England. Howard forced the fighting from the start and the decision was popular.

 YEARLY LOSS
POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCH COCK SAYS DEPARTMENT LOSES
 IT ON MAGAZINES.
Says Magazines Are Already Plan ming to Raise Advertising Rate to Meet the New Postage Rate
 Imposed.

Washington, Feb. 13,-Some of the large publishers of magazines get a net profit of more than $1,O0O,O00 a year, and the postoffice department carries their publications at net loss of $G2,000O00 a year. This in brief is the answer of Postmaster General Hitchcock to a page adver- tisement signed by thirty publishers, alleging that if the proposed increase in postal rates goes into effect on the advertising sections of magazines, 1t will result in majority of the popu- lar magazines being driven out of ex- stence
 MT. lHitchcocks statement was is. sued tonight. It shows newspapers are not affected and that no magazine whose total issue is less than 4,000 pounds is affected.
 It remains to be determined" says the postmaster general, whether the people who mail letters of general cor responrence. the publishers of books and pamphlets and the senders of small merchandise shall be taxed to meet the deficit caused by the exten- sion of the subsidy rate to the pub fishers of the large magazines of the country"
 MT. Hitchcock says the high priced advertisements in the magazines are carried at a cent a pound and tie cost to the government is 9 cents 2 pound. He thinks the people should know the facts. He sets out that dur ing the fiscal year 1910 S00000, 900 pounds of second class mail matter were carried at loss of 62,O0O, 900. Third class business was practically self-sustaining, and on first and fourth class matter there was a substantial saving, leaving the postal deficit not quite s6.0OO 900.
 MT. Hitchcock declares that one of the great periodicals has recently given notice of raise in it's adver- Using rates and the head of the postal department figures that the increase will net s957, JOG year, "or sufficient to pay the entire postage on both reading matter and advertising at cents per pound on the total mailings of this publication. 24,2sS,543 pounds during the fiscal year 1910."
 number of other instances are cited where the publishers of certain magazines are credited with a profit of $1,000,000 every twelve months. Prom this it is apparent" concludes the postmaster general that the grounds of protest are the personal interest of the publishers and not the welfare of the advertisers or of the general reading public"
 He declares the proposed step Is not discrimination, but distinct move in the direction of equalization of post age rates.
 Various protests were registered to- day against the proposed increase M. NJ. Hayden, of Chicago, representing typographical union, declared that the labor interests would be affected by the proposed legislation. c. w. Hol- lister, also of Chicago, said more than 5000 employees would be affected. Rep reseutative Champ Clark has gone on record in opposition to the project, and Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, tele- sraphed today that the increase in rates would be great hardship, par ticularly on the readers of popular magazines"

IN DEFENSE
 OF LORIMER
BAILEY, OF TEXAS, MAKES RING ING SPEECH IN FAVOR OF
 SEATING ILLlNoisIAN.
Texan Has Taken His Place as the Chief Defender of Lorimer-An- swers the Speech of Root to
 Unseat Him.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Defense of Senator Lorimer, of Illinois was offer ed by Senator Bailey, of Texas, to- day in speech so powerful that it was heard and applauded from time to time by what was perhaps the largest attendance of members and spectators that has been seen on the ficor and in the galleries of the sen ate chamber during the present ses- sion of congress. For three hours the eloquent Texan spoke, and at the end of that period, announced that he would continue his speech tomorrow.
 His plea that the senator from Illi- nois be permitted to retain his seat was of so elaborate nature and de- livered with such force and feryor that it placed MT. Bailey in the chief place among the defenders of MT. I.orimer' just as did tae arraignment by Mir. Root few days ago establish the New York henator in the fore most position among those who are seeking to unseat the Illinoisan.
 From the legal and personal point of view MT. Bailey presented the case of MT. Lorimer. In the main the speech was 8 review of the law and the testimony, but Mir. Bailey intro duced many novel and striking fea- lures, not the least startling of which was the assertion that forgery had been resorted to to make case against the Illinois senator. This, he asserted had been in connection with law, of the Illinois legislature, had been bribed to vote for Mir. Lorimer.
 He pointed out that lioltslaw's name dad been improperly spelled on the deposit slip used when the money he was alleged to have received had been placed in bank. It developed that a portion of this statement had been based on brief in she case. but the Texas senator did not rcirsat from the statement that Holtslaw had made the deposit personally Senator Cum mins presented the original slip, wlich, he said, was not in Mir. Holt slaws handwriting, but it was not ac- cepted by MT. Bailey.
 Mir Bailey boldly charged that the war on MT. LoFimer had been unre- lenting and personal and said tic ef- fort had not so much to convict wrong doers as to destroy MT. Lorimer.
 The Illinosan was held up as man possessed of all the private virtues and the Texan asserted more than tes- timony of confessed bmbetakers would be necessary to convince him of cor rupt practices on the part of MT. Lorimer.
 In connection with his presentation of the law features in the case. Mir. Bailey gave what he declared to be the practice of the senate in vacating seats, holding no senator responsible for acts of corrupetion in his behalf when he had not been cognizant of them, and requiring the vLtiation of enough votes to rob him Of his ma iority in case of his lack Of acquaint- anee with the facts. On direct sum- mons Senators Root, Cummins and Boraih all opposed to Lorimer, gave assent to the first proposition, and the two last named did so with refer ence to the second.
 Many of the members stood agaiaast the walls while MT. Bailey talked. Mr. Lorimer himself was in his seat.
