Prize Fight Pulled OF at 2
O'clock A. M. After Be-
ing Stopped Once.

Minct, n. H., Feb. GA two-act
prize fight drama With Dorr ii. Car
roll, assistant states attorney. and the
two fighters. skinny" kimhall. and
Pug" Butler. in the stellar roles. was
staged at DreaMland roller skattnS
rink Friday night.
Act one came off at 1850 o'clock.
when Mr.. Carroll put Il stop to u prize
fight which was slated to be pulled
of before 200 spectators.
Act two occurred at 2 o'clock this
morning when the spectators and
principals returned to the roller rink
and pulled off the scheduled bout.
The boxing match was scheduled to
come off at 1880 o'clock. a large
audience. including many prominent
citizens had assembled to watch It.
Just before the pugs entered the
ring. however, there came an inter-
ruption. MIR. Carroll entered the
arena and announced gently but ttrm-
ly that the proposed fight must not
take place.
He was Immediately surrounded by
an angry Grove who declared that
there was nothing illegal in the pro.
posed mill. which they declared was
merely a boxing match.
For answer Mr.. Carroll quoted the
state law on the subject which reads
as follows: Every person. who en-
cages in. %instigates. encourages. or
promotes a prize fight. or n other
~premeditated fight or contest, wheth-
er as principal. aid. second. umpire.
or in n other capacity. although no
death or personal injury ensues, is
guilty of a misdemeanor."
Finally the crowd dispersed. after
making strenuous efforts to induce
MI. Carroll to abandon his position,
and the trouble was apparently over
The word had been passed around.
however, and at : o'clock this MORN
ing the mill was pulled off as orig.
inally scheduled.
Details Of the affair are lacking. and
so far as could be learned today, no
decision was rendered, hut those who
were present say that Kimball COM
outclassed his opponent.
Just how the news of the second
leaked out no one seems
to know. but it was common talk
around the city this morning.
Neither Mr.. Carroll or r. A. Nes-
tos. states attorney. has made any
definite statement as yet as to what
will be the next move in the game.

What I'M Jaw Means.

What the Law Means.
FRO tnnumerable messages recetv.
ed here 1t is evident that a great many
people misunderstood the Webb bills
provisions. 1t docs not interfere with
any prohibition law now on the statute
books or, change n Of these provi-
sions. 1t - not a federal prohibition
statute except in giving fuller effect to
state laws.
The Webb bill does not do any of
the following things: It does o pre-.
vent a man receiving liquors from an
other state for his own US: affect the
sale Of near beer; affect locker clubs.
1t does not mean that the federal
authorities will try to enforce state
prohibition laws.
1t does put the whole thing square,
~ up to the state, neither adding to
nor taking from prohibition statutes
except as to the time when these state
laws can attach illegal shipments OF
liquor.
1t permits the seizure of liquors in
transit and before actual delivery to
the consignee. which has never been
possible before. The burden is then
upon the state to prove in its own
illegal purpose.
SboSO 1AClhyOIl , vltWSs
When asked to clear up the point
rights Of individuals living in dry
states to buy liquor from a wet state
and bring 1t In for their own use. Sen.
ator Kenyon said:
The Webb act does not, for in
stance. prohibit a Washington dealer
in liquors from sending his product in.
to Virginia or North Carolina for per-
sonal use. The reason is that neither
these states nor any others have ever
prohibited the personal use Of liquor.
To prohibit such Use would be uncon.
s%titutional.
The law. II it becomes a law, IL
clearly constitutional, for the reason
that congress has an absolute and de-
ind right to regulate interstate COM
merce. II congress chose to declare
then 1t would be SO declared and the
supreme court would sustain it.
To Aid State Laws.
at is obvious. therefore, that il con.
gress can declare liquor a contraband
OF commerce 1t a do the lesser thing.
1T is patent to anybody who knows
anything about this legislation. how
ever. that the only purpose of the bill
is to prohibit the wholesale violations
Of state laws under the cloak Of the
interstate commerce character Of
liquor shipments.
1T is ridiculous to urge that a ship.
per does not know who his customer 10
n does not know perfectly we'll to
What use the goods are to be put. Not
even the widest advocate Of temper.
ance, II he knows anything about this
act. will argue that 1t applies to the
personal consumption Of liquor"

OF Roosevelt at Chicago. but refused
to follow him in his bolt. He was re-
elected last month. Dixon, who did
bolt. was defeated.
Governor Stubs of Kansas. who al
SO holted. though against his best judg-
ment, was defeated for the senator
ship. after having won in the primar-
les over Senate Curtis, republican
stalwart.
For a week or ten days now the re-
publican conservatives and radicals
ate in a most astonishing state Of good
nature and good will. The new legis-
latiNe committee consists of Senators
Root. Smoot and Oliver. conservatives,
and Cummins and La Toilette. radi-
Gals. and these men have been getting
along in entire harmony.
La Toilette Favored Measures.
The program they adopted for the
remainder of the session contained
four measures which La Toilette has
been urging and n Of which Craw-
ford of North Dakota. another radical.
Is the author. One of these measures
provides for the physical valuation of
railroads. which the interstate COM
merce committee has favorably report
cd. and which La Toilette has been
for many years.
1t is not the purpose of the men
who are working for harmony to be
hasty. They expect to hear from the
country and measure the sentiment in
favor Of reorganization along the lines
indicated before such a convention as
is proposed is called. The convention
would be summoned by Charles D.
Hilles. secretary to the president. in
his capacity as chairman Of the ma
!tional committee.
The details of the call and the man.
ner of the election of delegates remain
to be worked out. If a new national
committee should be elected. as Sena-
tor Kenyon suggested today. the dele
gates to the proposed convention
could choose the members thereof.
Republicans who followed Colonel
Roosevelt into the new party will have
an opportunity to come back: in fact.
they will be encouraged to do so. Even
the colonel would not be barred il he
desired to reform"
