 handicap fight here tonight between Battling Nelson. former lightweight champion of the world, and Young Togo. the Japanese boxer, resulted in Ia draw, Nelson thereby losing his end of the purse, which he had agreed to forfeit unless he stopped the Jap within the limit.
 The amount of punishment the Jap took was remarkable. The affair was one of the hardest ever fought in this city. The Jap continually held on to the champion. but Nelson ham mered him nnmercifnlly.
 In the third round. Nelson dealt Togo an accidental back-hand blow on the head that sent the Jap to the floor and almost knocked him out.
 Thereafter the Jap was unable to proceed with his customary steam. Togo saved himself repeatedly from a knockout by holding on. Nelson put up vicious fight and after the battle said he never fought harder h six rounds in his life. Nelson played repeatedly for his jaw, but the Jap cleverly covered.

STATEMENT
 BY SCH|FF
MILLIONAIRE TELLS HIS SIDE OF THE VALET SCANDAL lM-
 PLlcATlNG MRS. scHlFF.
Not Permitted to Testify in Court, He Issues Ten Thousand Word Explanation to the Public.
 Brandt StilI in Jail.

New York, Feb. 26--While FollSe F. Brandt still remains in jail to- night as the result of a technical le- gal delay admitting him to bail, his former employer, Mortimer L. Schiff, gave out a statement 10000 words long, setting forth the pertinent facts connected with the Brandt case as lar as they are within my knowl- edge.'
 Having been been denied m onpor- tunity of testifying. he says a public statement to the press seems to be his only recourse.
 Certain newspapers have sought to attack my honor" says Schff. "and to create an impression that my eff forts to secure Brandt's conviction and to oppose his application for clemency were designed to hide some mystery which, if made public, would disgrace and degrade me before the community. have therefore de- cided that in self-protection and in justice to all those who have been maligned during the past month of hysteria, to make this statement of facts"
 The statement makes public the letter Brandt is alleged to have writ ten to Mrs. Sehiff in March, 1907. which Mir. Schiff said rPsulted in his discharge as a valet. It reads in part:
 'I am poor fellow, but have q heart which I would part with to a lady whom love dearest on earth. It is you, dearest lady. :. I do not know if you are interested or like my person. but I do know that I am awfully fond of you, in every respect I like you and admire i'm mensely; my feeling toward you. dear lady, has grown every day in larger circumference. Inside my heart is the eternal feelings which cannot be expressed in words, only actions can speak. Day and night until the slum- Der takes me away, I think of you, dear lady"
 The letter is signed lovingly" end contains a CPS" beseeching Mrs. Schiff for mercy don't show this to your husband or anybody"
 Regarding the robbery at his home, Mir. SoIhiff says he asked Brandt the night he entered the house whether he had stolen anything and the valet denied doing so.
 Mir. Schiff declares that after re- eeiving note from Brandt asking him to visit him in the Tombs. se sent Howard S. Cans, his counsel, tc see him and that Cans reported that Brandt had said to him in substance that "if the charge was pressed he would make reflections uppn Mrs Echiff."
 Mir. Schiff then details how Brandt's attorney, Carl Fischer Hansen, pre- scented to Judge Rosalsky a letter written by Breadt.
 This letter." Schiff continues, "con talned the first written information O Brandts lying and scandalous tal' that he was in my house by invita- ticn. The outrageous falsity of, thli letter is shown by the letter tha brought his discharge" This sam' lying story was the basis, he de clares, of Brandts appeal to Sena tor Nelson of Minnesota and of hi application to Governor Dix for pardon.
 It is expected that Brandt will b' released on bail tomorrow
