Bakers MAY Eiuht Charter.

Lansing bakers may test the legal
ity of the new city charter, adopted
at the election a week ago. They
allege the polls were kept open three
hours longer than the law permits.
The real reason for their opposition,
it is said, is that the restrictions
placed in the charter require them to
make one and two-pound loaves of
bread
The bakers are willing to print the
weight of the loaves of bread on the
wrappers, but they would like to be
able to vary the weight as the price
of materials increases or diminishes,
SO that the standard may be always
Ave and ten cents loaf.

a scribbler Of the dead walls OF Pom

as to the best fire and police alarm
systems and the best method of deal

in the administration at Milwaukee
gathered considerable information up
on this subject and we shall be glad
to give the comrades such information
as we have. The question Of the con-

careful investigation.

Was the Largest Figure in the Pugilistic WOrld-BOdy Will

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 25.-Billy Delaney is dead at his home in Oak land. When this news is flashed around the world every one who has even a slight knowledge of what has happened during many years in con- nection with the sport of the glove, will know who is meant.
 Delaney's fame was widespread. He was possibly larger figure in the pugilistic world than any of the men he helped to gain the heavy weight crown. Of him it can truly be said he made and unmade cham pions.
 Beginning that September night in New Orleans, now twenty years ago, when bare knuckle milling went out of vogue and boxing with gloves be- came the recognized method of de- ciding the worlds premiership, there have been eleven heavyweight cham pionship battles.
 Delaney's funeral services are to be held at Albert Brown chapel in Thirteenth street, Oakland, tomor- row afternoon at o'clock The re- mains will be cremated.
