SPORTING NOTES

Tom Jenkins declared the Zbyszko-
Raicevich wrestling match no con-
test. The Pole won the first fall
after thirty-seven minutes of wrestling
and Raicevich apparently had the
second, but as the Poles back was
half on the mat and half outside
Jenkins tapped the Italian on the
shoulders signaling him to shift over
to the mat. The Italian thought the
signal meant that he had won a fall
and as the conditions would give him
the bout, in the event of his win
ming a fall. he rushed triumphantfy
from the ring. The crowd swarmed
into the ring and it was impossible
to resume the match. Experienced
men at the ringside said that the
Pole did not overevert himself.
Sam Iangford lost 10 McVey in
twenty rounds on points In Australia
Yet there are some who think Lang
ford has chance with johnson.
Those who follow the boxing game
know that Langford Is a great per-
former for ten or less rounds. He
isn't much after that distance has
been covered. To win he must win
quickly and any man who can hold
him of for ten rounds usually can
hold him safe for any distance.
Two white hopes" box tonight
in New York. Tom Kennedy and Carl
Morris Kennedy is clever but he
lacks stamina. He is a former anna
teur heavyweight champion. Morris
is the oklahoma giant that Jim
Flynn punished so severely.
No baseball player who expects
to rise in his profession will jump
from organized baseball to sign with
an outlaw team. 1t Is only the semi
pros who can AFFORD to take a chance

Connolly's court on the charge of MUIR
dering his nephew, Hartoon Gostan-
ian, recalled the wife OF the defend
ant TO the stand, Thursday afternoon.
Three women acquaintances, living in
Inlay City, Mich, Mrs. Boyajian's
former home, and Detective Cornelius
Sullivan were also examined by the
prosecution.
Mr.. Hunt, for the defense, objected
to the testimony, but was overruled
! Assistant Prosecutor Jasnowski, In

bring out that Mrs. Boyajian was

fessed, although she was innocent

years and never knew her to tell an
untruth.

witnesses that her husband had
choked her to make her confess

Rep. Ashley Gets Back at Warner
For Tacking Referendum To

(FrOm Stan COrrespondent.l
LANSING, Mich, March 24.-Two
almost useless wrangles toop up most
OF the time of the house OF representa-
lives yesterday afternoon, when the
calendar was choked with work. one
was over the Holcomb bill regarding
the exemption from taxation OF prop
erty owned by soldiers OF the cevil or
Mexican war or their widow. The
Holcomb bill would have taken away
this exemption. A substitute by Rep.
Warner, giving an exemption OF ST.
900, was adopted by the committee
OF the whole. Rep. Warner had prac-
tically killed Rep. Ashley's fraternal
insurance bill by tacking on refer
endum to the societies affected. ana
Rep. Ashley retaliated by tacking q
referendum on the Warner substitute.
The referendum III resulting In the
negative would merely restore the old
exemption of $1,000. II took an hour
or more to defeat this, and the bill
was passed with an amendment by
Rep. Young conflning the exemption
10 those who owned only $4,000 or un-
der.
The other discussion resulted In
side-stepping the question OF salary OF
the commissioner Of insurance. The
senate had fixed $4,000 and the house
$1,000, and a conference committee
was appointed, which reported In fav-
or OF $3,5O0. All fees are cut of by
the bill. After the discussion had
lasted some time, Rep. Bierd discov-
cred that the conference committee
had made the term four years. which

bill was sent back TO the conference

modified 1t. II also passed the Miller
bill, fixing the salary OF the assistant
state librarian al $1,000; the Moriarty
bill. allowing boards OF supervisors to
levy tax OF one-tenth Of mill in one
year for public buildings; the Foster
public domain bill; the Fowle bill, ap-
propriating $976,900 for asylum main
tenance for two years; and the Glas-
er-Burnham- Baldwin bill fixing the
term OF drain commissioners at two
years.
Former Representatives Galbraith
and Cramton addressed the house.
Among the bills passed was: The
Holland-B Bricker BILL providing for
the taxation OF mineral reserves. This
was amended so that oil. gravel and
other lands would be included with
those stipulated in the original bill.
Senator James introduced a similar
bill in the senate, and succeeded In
giving the house bill immediate pas
sage. A substitute to the Lee bill
amending the laws relative to the ad-
mission Of attorneys, was passed.
This includes a provision that all
graduates of law colleges and univer-
stiles must pass the state bar examin-
alton before they can practice. Stu

Legislative Committee Appointed To
Probe Alleged Irregularities in
Business Deals.
lFrom a star Correspoadentl

(From a star Correspondent.)
LANSING, Mich, March 24.-Def-
mite form was given last night TO the
rumors of financial and other irregu-
larities at the Michigan Asylum for
Insane at kalamazoo. They involve
alleged business deals with the in
stitution by members Of the board OF
control and employees, contrary to the
statute, and alleged illegal transfers
OF the current expense fund, together
with some strange figures connected
with the building OF a dining room
and heating plant.
The details are In the possession OF
Garry +. Sanders, OF Mason, law clerk
OF the house. and were given out by
him In Speaker Bakers Office last
night. They include the following:
That so wagons manufactured by
the Belknap Wagon Co., of Grand
Rapids, were sold to the institution
while Charles E. Belknap, head of the
firm. was a member OF the board OF
control. 1t was explained that the
wagons were sold through jobbing
firm, and not directly.
That 80 per cent of the -four used
In the three insane asylums in the
lower peninsula was furnished by r.
w. Stock & Co., of Hillsdale, while
Chauncey +. Cook, son-in.law of the
head of the firm, was a member OF
the institution board
That John w. Hoffman,, steward
of the institution, employed his
nephew at salary of $1,000 as cook.
That Hoffman, while drawing a sal
airy of $4,000 year, was on the road
for the Verdon Cigar Co., in which he
was interested.
That the product of the Verdon
Cigar Co. was used exclusively in the
institution.
That the cost of running the insti-
tuition store, had increased from $50
a month eight years ago to $172 a
month the last year.
That the storekeeper and his wife
are paid $107 a month, suite OF
rooms and the board of themselves
and 17-year-old daughter.
That $4,000 was transferred from
to the construction of two shacks for
the tuberculosis patients.
That $4,000 to $4,000 has been
transferred from the current expense
fund for special purposes.
That there were irregularities con-
nected with the construction OF a din
ing room. Here are the figures on
this matter:
In 1907, $23,299.94 was appropriated
for this purpose. Out Of the fund, ac
cording to the dope, $25 was used for
an electric sander; $1,435.45 for lum-
Der alleged not to have been used
on the work; 800 for lime not used
there; 1865 for carload OF cement
not used there: that $744.24 was
charged for time not on the superin-
tendent's book.
That in 1909, $4,000 more was ap-
propriated to finish the building that
$4,000 more was transferred from the
current expense fund illegally for the
purpose, making a total Of $40
and that. according to the estimates
OF the superintendent, hand labor
worth $4,000 and teaming worth $4,000
was performed by the inmates. The
superintendent's name Is A. c. Gil
man. He is not now connected with
the institution.
Speaker Baker appointed Reps
Reynolds, Pearson, Leonard, Dunn
and Glasner, and asked that they be.
gin work at once.
Chauncey F. Cook has entered a
general denial of the charges.
