GOV. DIX FAVORS BOXING BUT
 OPPOSES THE FRAWLEY LAW

Albany, N, Y, January Ex-Governor Dix, while favoring the repeal of tho Frawley law, is a friend of boxing. In an interview today he said:
 'T have no desire to abolish boxing. like boxing. I have often put on the gloves myself for exercise and pleas ure. I think 1t is a very good thing for every man 10 know how to box. Every American should know how to defend himself when the occasion de- mands it, and under proper conditions boxing is a very good athletic sport
 But in your message you favor re- pealing the Frawley law"
 That is true; but that's a different matter. I oppose that law because it Is not effective. It did not do what was expected of it. The events at Mad ison Square Garden just after the law went into operation were proof enough of that. If such things are possible un- der the law, there is some fault in the law itself, and it should be repealed.
 "The law itself should clearly cover exchange. Every necessary provision should be in the law, not left to the discretion of a commission. I under stand there are several rather vague clauses. For instance, it is possible

MARDI GRAs TRAVEL
Many Expected to Stop Over in Bir-
 mingham This Year

The indications are that travel to Mardi Gras this year will be heavier than usual and that many travellers will take advantage of railroad offers and stop over in Birmingham Initial advices were received yesterday by the Queen and Crescent route that the Pennsylvania railroad intended to ex- ert more efforts this year than ever in getting travellers to the, south during the festive days in New Orleans. It was also stated that already one spe- cial train had been chartered to oper- ate from New York through Birming- ham to New Orleans. It is understood that the officials of the Pennsylvania will make efforts and offer induce ments for travellers originating on that line to stop over in Birmingham which is the most interesting and best known city between the two terminal points.
 The Louisville and Nashville and the Queen and Crescent lines will handle the bulk of the travel through this city and the two lines together are ex- pected to handle an immense army of travellers.

FIRE CAUSED BY TRAMPS
Destroyed Big Lumber Plant at Me
 ridian and Delayed Trains

Two tramps making an effort to keep warm at Meridian late Saturday, caused a s100,000 fire at that place, according to information received in Birmingham. One of the best equipped blaming mills in the state was totally destroyed while other places of manu facture were seriously threatened by the flames. From information receiv ed yesterday, every indication pointed to the fire originating from a blaze created by the tramps. The two wan derers are said to have fired up a small blaze in a stock yard adjoining the huge lumber yards and spark flew from the small fire, igniting the dry lumber
 The result was the total distraction of the plant and 20 railroad cars that were loaded with lumber and ready to be moved. The Atlanta Great Southern trains which operate through Meridian were delayed seven hours both north anc southbound by hose lying across the rails. No injuries were reported

the Dill down to certain extent Some of the house leaders have plainly told the rivers and harbors boomers and the public buildings crowd" that they can not consent to the adoption of a measure on either of these subjects unless the pen sion bill is cut to much more moderate limits. They say that to do what is de- sired on rivers and harbors and pubic buildings, the pension outlay remaining the same, would simply mean an enor- nous issue of bonds-far too heavy a handicap to be borne in the presidential election.
 President Taft advisers recognize that very serious choice is presented to the executive. They have tentatively dealt with it. by saying he will certainly veto the Sherwood pension bill or anything ap- preaching it in size, if sent to him. This is on the ground that the public sentiment of the country would certainly sustain him in regard to accepting a matter that would practically bankrupt the govern ment. But they think he would be ready to sign anything up to the amount orig inally planned. that is to say s20, 900, 900, and might be induced to stand for anoth- CT s10.0Oo000 upon good reason shown. Mir Taft himself has said nothing as yet, but this is the word who are close to him have given out.

to evade the intent or the law in re- gard to the weight of the gloves used in contests and exhibitions. The law provides that the gloves shall weigh not less than eight ounces This is not clear. It would be possible under the law to have the four gloves used weigh eight ounces, each glove weigh ing two ounces. It surely would not be desirable to have men box with two ounce gloves. Right thinking people disapprove of the law in Nevada which allows finish prize fights. Would ID round contest between mon wearin z two ounce boxing gloves be any bet- ter? And the law does not provide that the padding of the gloves must nos be rubbed away from the knuckles. There are other things, too, that need regulating
 "Then it is not the sport of boxing you oppose2"
 Not at all," said the governor. 'It is a plain matter of law, not of senti- ment. The present law, which has been a failure, should be repealed. That would leave everything just as 1t stood before the Frawley law was passed. Then, if the legislature wish ed to pass another law which would regulate and control boxing in such manner that there would be nothing of- fensive about it, that would be another matter entirely. I hardly care to dis cuss that before it comes up officially"

Chicago, January 14-Threats of an outlaw baseball league entering cities now occupied by American association. concrete form here yesterday, when the Columbian league was organized. Men who are interested in the new movement say they do not wish a baseball war, bur that they will attract just as many big league players to their fold as possible. It is asserted, however, that no fancy salaries are to be paid to get famous players to leave their present berths.
 John T. Powers, the first president of the Wisconsin league, was elected pres ident. No other officers were selected to- day, but will be at another meeting two weeks from today.
 The men who purpose to place clubs in their home cities were present: J. c. Masker, Kansas City, Thomas Farley and Willis Melville. Milwaukee, A. John Roe sink, Detroit, and W. c. Neisan. Chicago. William Urian, of St. Louis. and w. H. Pierce, of Louisville, were represented by President Powers. Each of these cities have been assured of franchise in the new league and teams will be placed In either Cleveland, Pittsburg, Cincinnati Indianapolis, Peoria, Minneapolis or St Paul, President Powers said. Applications have been received from all of these cities, he said
 The announced plan is to start the sea son during the latter part of April ana play 14O games As nearly as possible games will be played when the other teams in the various leagues are not playing For this reason no schedule will be issued until after the organized leagues have released theirs.
 No playing managers have been chosen, hut the promoters are confident that they will have several prominent players with them. Plans were perfected today for of fering the management of the Chicago club to Mordecai Brown; the St. Louis

New York, January H.-(Speeial.)- 'John, how much have ye in tn kitty?' inquired John J. McDevitt, the Wilkes Barre whirlwlnd, who has managed to spend $2500 fin two weeks without drinking single glass of wine, of his secretary, John Lenahan.
 "Thirty-flve dollars and twenty cents, ]" responded Lenahan.
 McDevitt raised himself from hls green embroidered couch in the Waldorf As- toria, shortly after noon today and called languidly for his private physician. Dr. Edward A. Sweeney.
 Doc" asked McDevitt. "how much you got?''
 ''I can let you have a hundred"
 "Allright.o said McDevitt, and now John, take this telegram to me brother, Dan, in Wilkes-Barre: Dear Dan-I owe you $20O. Please send the money to the Waldorf immediately and l promise to come home to collect the rest tomor- row "
 The $2oo requested arrived by wire with ing two hours.
 ''Hurrah!" cried McDevitt. lighting three 8 cent cigars at once.
 Now, doctor, you remember that rich Ginny, Poli, who runs the opera house at Wilkes-Barre. and bunch of other theatres? Well I've paid 10 cents week to this Poli, or his minlons, every week for two years Doctor. We are going to New Haven. That's where Pol lives, and that's where he must give me answer true as to what he does with McDevitt's money John, chase up to the Grand Central and hire me a special train to New Haven, or at least a private car.'
 The faithful man bounded away on his errand. and then McDevitt and the doctor started out on the second of the mil ionaire for day. trip. After donning his new suit over his night clothes Ghe same being a. union suiD and adjusting his green neclStie, McDevitt started forth. He started up Broadway, pointing out the sights to his companions and dropped into manicure parlor, where he gave the girl who polished his finger nails a tip or SIP.

WILKESBARRE WIIIRLWIND
 CONTINUES HIS MAD CAREER

1 That's the kind of charity l believe in. That girl, though, is probably mll- l lionaire's daughter in disguise. She's probably hiding from her husband waiting for a divorce'
 McDevitt, with his party, breakfasted at a Broadway hotel. He refused to look at the bill of fare. ordering an Irish broiled steak with half an acre of po- tatoes. McDavitt's check amounted to SIS and he gave the waiter $4.
 T m no fool about my spending as some of you fellows make out" he confided to reporter. It isn't my idea of charity to give street car conductor a $5 bill in place of nickel. I'd rather buy an extra cup of coffee for 100 men on the bread line''
 McDevitt was met on Broadway by Pat Casey, the vaudeville impressario, whom he had met before on one of his journeys to the big city. Casey offered him $500, and finally sl00o, to go on at vaudeville house next week. McDevitt only looked amused.
 Pat he said, T like you and I'd like to oblige you, but I'm not a fakir; in fact, I'm the only man who has ever come to New York on a trip of this kind who wasn't a fakir. I don't intend to capitalize this little lark. I'm going back to WllkeS-Barre at O CLOCK tomorrow morning and Pm going without a cent. If you were to present me with $500 now l wouldn't take it. I wouldn't know what to do with it. consider myself rich when I have enough money to pay for me next meal"
 McDevitt next dropped into the Colonial theatre, where he was shown the cour- tesies of the house by Miss Nellie Reville, the dynamic young lady who presides over the "complimentaries' and other things.
 Nellie" said McDevitt, after a half hours acquaintanceship, 'you have a pretty good job here, haven't you? |? Enough to support a man, eh, Nellie? {? How'd you like to like in Wilkes -Barre?'
 I've never dissipated to that extent' replied Miss Reville, laughing.
 Well. then" said McDevitt, you might send me my allowance every weeki''
 The party was forced to dash for the Grand Central. McDevitt was greatly dis appointed when he discovered that his secretary had been unable to hire a special car, but he engaged Pullman seats for his party and for two Irish news boys who volunteered to valet for him during the trip.
