HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, DROPPED
IN FIRST Round; HIT BELOW HEART
THE
INDIAN BILL
SENATOR LANE SAYS MAN NAMED
FOR COMMISSIONER HOLDS
FEDERAL CONTRACTS

Washington, May "a Senator Lane
made another attack upon the Indian
bill today when it was taken up by
the senate committee. He charged
that man-whom he did not name
already selected for place on a
commission to make roll of Chippewa
Indians in Minnesota, was formerly
an attorney for a lumber company
which holds contracts upon which the
committee will have to pass.
The fact that appropriations, COW
ering hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, go masquerading about in the
bill under misleading titles, would
seem to indicate the necessity for a
carefully scrutiny of other
of its provisions" he said.

/ ed to look upon his impending batrle
as only one of the many he easIry
had won.
Spectators at first failed to realize
that McCarty mad been knocked out.
Scenes of the widest excitement
prevailed for several minutes arter
the climax, and the extent Of the
fighters injuries for some time was
not realized by the crowd. A deep
silence followed the announcement
that death had claimed the pugilist.
Several conferences were held be-
tween those promoting the fight.
McCarty and Pelkey entered the
ring at 12:45 p. M, mountain time,
and were cheered vociferously by the
thousands Of spectators. For 20 min
utes they were the targets of admir-
ing shouts by their many followers,
the fight not being called until 1903
p. m. AS they sat in their respective
corners speculation as TO the outcome
was rife, and white McCarty seemed
the general favorite, PeIkey was not
without his hackers, who staunchly
declared that a great big surprise"
was in store for his opponent.
Referee Eddie Smith of Chicago
made the preliminary announcement
and amid cheers Of encouragement
from their respective followers, Nc
Carty, trained to 200 pounds, and Pei
key outweighing MIN by 10 pounds,
shook hands for the fight that was
destined to be McCarty's last.
AT the outset neither showed any
to close. McCarty started
the actual mixing with wild swing
at Pelkey's head, which missed him
by several inches. They clinched
and ON the break-away Pelkey got IN
the first blow. an uppercut to Nc
Carty's jaw McCarty followed with
swinging right that just missed
Peikey's ear and followed this at
tempt with hard blow to his heay-
ier opponents mouth
It was following this stinging at
tack that Pelkey, feinting to uncover
McCarty's guard, planted a driving
blow jus under McCarty's heart that
sent him reeling to the ropes Nor a
sound issued from McCarty as he
slowly sank to the ground and was
counted out by Referee Smith.
VIII Arrest Pelkey.
Mounted police left Calgary in au-
tomobiles late today to arrest Pelkey,
Promoter Burns, Referee Smith and
half dozen others. The instructions
OF Magistrate Crispen are to leave no
one out Of Jail who has had anything
to do with the fight Thousands Of

Calgary, Alberta, May 24.-Luther
McCarty, aspirant to the tile of
champion heavyweight fighter Of the
world, died from a blow below the
heart administered by Arthur Pelky,
in the first round of their schedule +
ten-round bout today. Death came
soon after McCarty had taken the
count.
The blow, which came stiffly from
Pelky and struck McCarty just be-
low the heart, sent him reeling. He
fell heavily to the floor. He was
counted out by Referee Eddie Smith.
When he failed to stand on his feet
an examination burriedly was made
and he was carried from the ring, oy-
ing a short time later.
After the blow was adminihtered
McCarty was seen TO clench his fists,
open his mouth as if gasping tor
breath, reel and fail to the floor. The
referee stood over him and counted.
Throughout the counting the Pelkey
followers shook their stands with
their wild cheering. A dead silence
followed when the count was fin
ished and McCarty failed TO stir. He
died eight minutes later.
The large crowd Of spectators, num-
bering more than 1000, had hardly
settled in their seats in the anticipa-
ton OF witnessing hard, gruelling
battle when Pelkey, following an adj
vantage gained by a clever feint,
drew McCarty off his guard and sent
a terrific drive to McCarty's left side,
near the heart McCarty died eight
minutes later.
The men had been boxing a MN
ute. with honors even, feeling each
other out. Then they clashed, both
landing rights and lefts to the head.
McCarty missed a left to the body
and Pelkey countered with the short
right to the heart. McCarty paled
under the blow, then seemed to real
ize that he was doomed. His legs
trembled, but he shot out both hands
in a dying effort to win on single
punch.
Pelkey stepped back, and as ne
did SO McCarty tumbled back to the
ropes, collapsed and stretched flat on
his back on the floor. Referee Eddie
smith counted 'ten."
McCarty's seconds carried him 70
his corner and within few minutes
summoned medical aid.
whats the matter with McCar-
tyr came the wild cries from the
thousands in te crowded arena, just
after the fighter fell under the blow.

after Mcearty had entered the ring,

loaded with spectators assembled to
do honor to the memory OF the late
Queen Victoria, the stage Of the mu-
nicipal auditorium collapsed TO-DAY,
furnishing a tragic climax to Empire
Day. Every one on the stage fell
through the floor Of the big building
located on the municipal pier, and in
an instant the sand beneath the
structure was covered by a writhing
mass of men and women.
Early estimates Of dead ran as high
as SO or so. The injured, according
to the police, win number several
scores.
The collapse caused panic, which
the police could not control. An ap-
peal fo4 aid from the Les Angeles eos
lice department was answered by sev-
eral automobile-loads Of officers.
Mayor Hatch Of Long Beach, who
was to have been one Of the princi-
pie speakers Of the day, was on the
stage and was believed to be either
dead or seriously injured. Just before
the stage fell he stood beside Grand
Marshal Restali.
The stage stood about 20 feet
above the beach.
Thlrty-five Bodies Found
Thirty-fve dead bodies have been
taken from under the pier up to 1:O5
p M, according to report made to
the chief Of police.
A thousand or more people had
into the auditorium close up
On the stage, and officers Of the va
rious celebration committees and Eng
lish societies, which mad participated
in parade had just ascended the
rostrum when the crash came.
Shrieks and cries from the spectators
inside started a rush to see by those
outside the building. All efforts at
rescue were futile. The curious peo-
PIE were jammed SO closely about the
lead and injured under the pier that
the police could not get to those who
needed suceor, and flying wedges
were organized.
When the Los Angeles officers ar
rived a Gordon was thrown about the
scene Of the disaster and held off an
immense throng. Hospital attendants
struggled through the crowd with the
bodies Of dead or Injured victims.
The first II dead identified We're
those OF 10 women and one child.
Eighteen women we're among the

At 1:4O o'clock the police had tax

CONCESSION TO PROGRESSIVES
THE ACTION OF TODAY is TAKEN
IN RESPONSE TO A RE
QUEST FROM THEM.

Washington, May 24.-After sever
al hours discussion the legislative
committee OF the republican national
committee today tentauvely agreed
to call meeting OF the national COM
mittee go days after the adjourn
ment of the extra session of congress
to determine whether national con-
yention shall be called to consiGer
changes in basis Of representation
The session of the legislative com
mittee was devoted almost entirely
to discussion OF the need for nay
toinal convention. Committeeman
Warren of Michigan made the motion
to call a meeting and practically ev-
cry member joined ia the debate that
Followed. There ne no expressions:
Of disapproval, the only questions
were those of detail.
Members of the republican national
legislative committee assembled here
today to take stock of the party since
the November defeat, look over the
field for the future and determine
whether a meeting of the national
committee should be called to consrd-
er the advisability of holding a spe-
cial national convention
When the committee met it haG a
memorial from the conciliation com7
mittee Of republican progressIves
headed by Senator Cummins, appoint
ed as a result of the late Chicago con-
ference. The memorial formulated a
request that an early meeting of the
national committee be called. n IN
cluded a statement of the reforms
proposed at the Chicago conference
which would provide for party recog-
milton of the primary system Of se-
lecting delegates to the national con-
vention and change Of basis of rep
reservations to conform to the voting
strength Of the party in the various
states, a change directed against the
heavy representation in the south.
The question of choosing delegates
by stateA primaries was not dis
cussed at great length Chairman
Hilles and some others contended
that a congressional district should
be allowed to choose its own dele
gates in any way it saw fit, notwith-
standing provisions for state pri-
mary.
"The party has insisted upon the
right Of congressional districts to Sc
lect their own delegates and a revers-
al Of that policy would foist the unit
rule on us, said Chairman Hilles.
This was the point at issue in the
California case in 1912. The right Of
a congressional district to vote in
republican national convention for
the candidate of its choice has never
been denied.
1T was affirmed in the convention
of 1876 and again m 1880. The rat
ter convention rejected the unit rule.
This is the fundamental question, and
not to be confused with the recogni-
ton Of delegates in primary elec-
TONS"

Since the announcement in The
Optic some time ago regarding the
establishment of the Y. NJ G. A.
camp in Hot Springs canyon nothing
further has been said. But this has
not been because the committee
placed in charge of the project has
not been busy in perfecting plans for
the camp. In fact the committee is
about ready to announce to the pub
lie all but few details.
Secretary P. H. LeNoir Of the Y.
M. G. A, under whose supervision the
camp will be, has the following to
say regarding the plans:
1T is with pleasure that an
nounce that we hope to have the
carap ready for occupancy by july 8.
It is our present plan to start the
camp with our boys on the third, and
run to the seventeenth-two weeks.
After that we will be ready for the
guests, both from Las Vegas and out
of town. And by guests mean both
ladies' and gentlemen. This proceed
ure may possible be changed, but if
so, announcement will be made in the
papers.
To open the camp our plan is to
have on the fourth of July a great
big basket picnic up at the camp,
when we Will expect the folk of Las
Vegas to visit us and inspect the
equipment. In the evening we will
have a big time, either in the shape
of feed or camp fire stunt.
The Site.
"As was stated at the original
meeting at the Commercial club din
ner, we would try to secure the Mon
tezuma park for the site, but if un-
able to do so would secure another.
The Santa Be railroad refused to let
us have the Montezuma park on the
grounds that it would invalidate the
insurance policy. The committee
therefore got to work and located
site about mile above the Monte
zuma on the Aqua Pura properly
which was kindly donated by the
company. and which believe will be
really better than the park site, IN
that it will be more "campy" looking
and be removed from the pressing Ell
