Smith advan- ced from his corner, swung at Hur- ley and they fell into a fond embrace. After the referee had pried them apart Smith would rush at Hurley, clinch would follow. You could take quiet nap during this bout and not miss anything.
 The best exhibition of the after noon was given by Red Jewell and Young BOsSe- It was a. six round af- fatr. Jewell started like whirlwind and opened up a cut over BOSSe s eye that caused the claret to flow freely during the bout. In the first three rounds Jewell took the lead but his slowness prevented him from doing much damage. Bosse made a great rally in the final sessions and in the fifth and sixth rounds had Jewell go- ing. It was Bosses fight although he was outWeighed-
 Fighting Dick Stone must have left his first name home yesterday for he refused to go on with Fighting Jack Nelson of Brooklyn and the promoters put on Jimmy Carter of New York instead.
 Nelson was so big that Carter could have hidden behind him. The little fellow put up a game fight, though, and took advantage of Nelson's slow ness. Johnny Hayes, the Marathon runner. who was timekeeper, must have thought Carter was stealing his stuff when he saw the boxer taking it on the run about the jng.s When Carter thought something was due to land on him he would turn his back on Nelson and sprint a few laps With Nelson in pudsuit Carter planted a few blows on his opponent but they lacked steam. The bout went eight rounds and the honors went to Nelson by an eyelash decision.
 It is safe to say that the next show in this city will have little fellows as the headliners. The big boys don't give the fans enough action for their money.

New Haven Fears It May Not Get

New Haven, Jan. 2-It now looks as if New Haven will not get the State Democratic convention. Nothing nas been done, according to local members of the State Democratic Committee, to secure it, and as yet no meeting of the commmittee has been called to select the place where tfIe Democra. $ will convene to choose delegates to the National convention. Either Bridge port or Hartford will get the conven- ton, it is thought. The local mem bers of the committee are James 3. Martin, John E. Doughan, P. S. Cum ningham and pr. Brothers pr.

Three Finger Brown
 To Quit Baseball
Crack Chicago Pitcher Sore al Way Owner Murphy Has,
 Treated Him

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Mordecai Brown, premier pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, is through with baseball. Treatment on the part of Owner Murphy which he considers was not in accord with the measure of effort he gave to his work while a member of the Cub team and the desire to grasp the op- portunity to earn more than was rep resented by the figures on the base ball contract rendered him, were the reasons assigned by Brown for his decision to quit the game
 'It is my intention to quit base ball. said the three-f1ngered star shortly after his arrival here yester- day from the coast.
 .I have given the game the best I had since I went into it and figure that I might be able to hold up my end for three or four years more, but the manner in which I was treated while a member of the Cubs was not such as would, make me anxious to continue. I have a chance here in Chicago to go into business which will net me considerably more than pos sibly could make by continuing to play.
 ''I do not want anyone to construe my assertion that I am going to quit baseball into the usual 'hoIdout' talk of player whose contract has ex- pired and who is looking for more money. If were offered another Cub contract I should name a figure which I know would be prohibitive.'' ''

New Haven, Jan. 2-ProprEetors Of the big cafes and restaurants of the city who had figured on large dinner parties on Sunday night to welcome in the New Year figure that the edict of Chief CowIes which resulted in the cutting out of all liquid refreshment from all such affairs and prohibiting strictly any departure from the GUS tonary Sunday dryness for the occa- sion, cost them collectively fully SS0,- 900. While the sum seems large one, it is put forward as a conserva- tive figure of the actual loss of bua- ness which resulted from the large number of New Haveners who took their parties out of town for the event or who cancelled their dinner orders and stayed at home instead. Not only was there the loss of the sale Of liquors which would probably have been heavy, but the large loss consist ed in the fact that the big dinner par ties which are usual for that evening were abandoned entirely and the call for dinners was very mediocre The business of yesterday was not cons1d- cred any way near heavy enough above the naturally expected business of the day to compensate for the lost occasion

SOME INTERESTING
VIEWS On SOCIALISM
From The Question Box
Published by Frank M.
Eastwood.
BY A. c. JACOBSEN

But wouldn't this work great
hardship to the owners Of property?
II is always a hardship for the in
nocent purchaser to give up stolen
goods to the rightfu owner, but it
must be remembered that this plan
which we propose would give the for
mer owners the same right to the use
Of the property as anyone esle would
have. Ii should also be noted that no
individual can show valid title to a
square foot of land Trace every
title back to the first records and
you will find that the first owner
simply took the land and appropri-
ated il to his own use. 1t is a more
reasonable proposition and easier to
prove that the earth exists for the
use of the whole human family than
to establish the right of any individ-
ual to it or any part of II. All
other property was created by labor,
and when the laborers of this or the
next generation demand the right to
use it they are only claiming the in
heritance of their class, which was
made by other generations of work
ers and dishonesty appropriated by
those who have used it only to en-
slave the Industrious.
But are not many Of the owners Of
the property industrious, and have
they not done more or less Of the
necessary work toward the making
or development OF this property?
II Is no doubt true that many of
the present owners of such property
have contributed to it's production.
and to the extent they have they
are entitled to remuneration. But, in
this connection, it should be noted
that the men who now own the most
can scarcely be credited with any of
the necessary labor that has made
the wealth. How many oil wells has
Mr.. Rockefeller drilled? How many
gallons of oil has he refined or de-
livered to consumers? All forms of
wealth are going rapidly into the
hands of such men, whose work, how
ever strenuous 1t may have been, has
always been principally directed to-
ward getting hold of property rather
than toward creating ii. And at all
times in the process OF capitalist &C.
emulation the many have been dis
possessed in order that the few might
have. Property is being confiscated
by the few. The plan proposed is
that the machinery of confscation be
reversed and that the property held
| by the few confiscators be restored
to the many,
But there is only one Rockefeller,
while there are thousands Of small
property holders. Would you treat
the small capitalist the same as you
would the worst examples Of greed?
There is only one Rockefeller, but
there are others like him-Hill, Nor.
gan and their partners, for instance.
These big capitalists are at present
busily engaged in solving the prob,
lem you propose by taking from the
smaller capitalists and piling up the
property in fewer hands, The own.
ership OF homes may be taken as an
index the distribution of property;
and when the latest census report
shows that over half of the sixteen
millions OF families in this country
live in rented homes it shows that
more than half of those families are

They have not made much progress
in that direction-that is, either in

TO get little relief from the exac-

the various strata OF the middle class
would have to unite with the prop

that could benefit none but the prop

ers) any permanent good but the
full program of Socialism For that
reason the proletarians will come in
increasing numbers to Socialism and
will be satisfied with nothing less.
The middle class will likely founder
around like fish out of water until
disguised with the futile efforts of
such as Bryan and Hearst; but when
they are separated from their money
by the big capitalists they will join
with the working class in the increas-
ing demand for Socialism. When a
man has nothing to lose but the
chains of wage slavery he has no
fear of the social revolution. Prop
erty makes men timid, but when the
big capitalists relieve them Of their
property they will lose their timidity
and become willing to stand and to
strike for their rights.
