BILL DELANEY DEAD.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 25.-Billy De
laney, the famous trainer, died last
night. Delaney trained many of tae
most prominent fighters of the last 25
years, including Johnson, Jeffries,
Corbett, Choynsh and Kaufman. He
trained Johnson for his championship
fight with Jeffries at Reno, and was
also instrumental in arranging the
match and backing the colored
fighter.
Delaney was 5S years old, he lived
almost his entire lifetime on the Pa
cific coast and was inseparably asso-
ciated with the history of amateur and
professional boxing in the west. He
was pioneer in rigorous training
methods, enforcing rigid discipline
and much outdoor work, to which he
ascribed much of his success. He was
a boxer of considerable note, as well
as trainer, and until few years ago
served as sparring partner for his
men.
While he was thoroughly familiar
with every aspect of the sport, dt-
Tending it staunchly and advancing
its interests in every possible way,
Delaney was not heavily interested
and rarely made large
bets. Delaney had been i'll for sever
al months and his death was not un-
expected. While on visit to the east
last year, he contracted a severe cold
which developed complications that
caused his death.
The funeral will be held Saturday
and the body will be cremated. De
laney leaves a widow and two sisters.
The latter live in New York state. The
cause of death was dis
order of the liver.

EXPLAINS RISE in
PRICE OF Pine
CHARLES kEiTH SAYS 1T MAS
NOT DUE 10 TRUST BUT A
LARGE DEMAND.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.LCharles S.
Keith, testifying today in the states
custer suit against 26 lumber compan-
les charged with violation of the anti
trust laws, said that while the produc-
ton in 1905 was 50,OOOOOO feet less
than in 1904, the slump in the supply
was due entirely to the unprecedented
railfall in the pine forests in 1904.
Mr.. Keith said the price lists issued
by the association showed that the
price of yellow pine had fallen 1G
times between 1894 and 1908 and he
increased in price about 26 times in
the same period.
He said the government reports
showed that the values of all farm
products had fluctuated about the
same as had the price of pine, show
ing that all were governed by the law
of supply and demand.
He said the remarkable industrial
activity in 1904 and 1905 had caused
a marked increase in the prices OF
all commodities and that yellow pine
had been affected more than other
products.

EASTERN ENGINEERS
DEMAND A RAISE
DEMAND AN INCREASE IN WAGES
OF FROM FIFTEEN TO
TWENTY PER CENT.

New York, Jan. 25.-Locomotive en-
gineers on all railroads in the eastern
territory have made demands for a
general increase in wages ranging
from is to 25 per cent. The demands
involve all roads east of Chicago and
north of the line of the Norfolk &
Western railway and of the Ohio
river. The object is to standardize
the wage scale on all lines in this ter
ritory as was done by the trainmen
and conductors in 1910.
The General Managers association
has been asked to appoint commit
tee to negotiate with a committee OF
the Brotherhood. Railroad men be-
lieve the time is inopportune and are
inclined to think that the railroads
will not grant the demands.
