He struck a carriage con taining Mrs. Andrew Dolan, Mrs. Louis Rogers and Miss Dolan, injuring them all, more or less severely. Witnesses testified that he seemed under the in fluence of liquor. The secretary re- served decision.
 Edwin F. Hitchcock and Albert Hirschfe1d of winsted, who were the occupants of the car which, on the evening of June IA, struck the car riage driven by Frank K. Olds of Win sted. on the Torrington road near Winsted, both testified that they did not stop after they had struck the Olds carriage a gIancing blow.

of his loan. In the German LAndschaf- zen institutions the payment of this amortization charge is optional w1th the farmer In the Nassau institution payment of amortization charges is obligatory and the value of this law was clearly dem monstrated to the Amer ican Commissioners by the bank di- rector who presented a table to show the comparative freedom of debt of the Nassau farmers. The most inter esting feature of the Nassau bank is the government guarantee given the bonds. There is a division of opinion among the members of the American Commission as to the advi6ability of government guarantees for land bonds. Those opposed to the plan point out that if the farmers defaulted in their payments it would become necessary for the government as the guarantor to dispossess the farmers of their land, and they assert that there is apt to be so much politics in the situation in the United States that the legtsla- ture of a state would be inclined to saddle the loss upon the state rather than make enemies of the farmers by selling their land at auction.
 Adherents to the plan assert that land in the United States is sold every day of the year for taxes and that this is the same thing as the state selling a man out for non-payment of inter est charges on a mortgage. Just what advantage there is in the government guarantee can better be judged by the Commissioners after they have studied a type of Landshaften bank and the Credit Foncier of France.

SPORTOGRAPHY

It was four years ago, today. that Young Corbett, the once popular box CT, was knocked out by Johnny F'rayne in the eighth round at San Francisco. That was the beginning of the end of Young Corbett's pugiMstic career, but, although he lost fight and much of his reputation, he won a bride. The young lady accompanied the fighter to California to see the battle, and agreed to become his wife if he won- AL though Young Corbett lost, the girl considered that he had put up such a good fight that she waived the terms of the agreement, and they were mar ried in San Rafael, Cal, on the day following the battle. This romance of the prize ring eliminated 8 few months ago in the divorce court of New York, when Mrs. Daisy Rothweu brought suit against William H. Roth well. which is the fighters real name.
 Young Corbett was principally fla nous as the man who twice knocked out Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn terror. He first turned the trick at Hartford in 1901, and six years later he again smashed McGovern on the chin in a battle at San Francisco, and won the title. He soon hit the tobog- gan, and was defeated by Jimmy Britt, Bat Nelson, Aurelio Herrera and oth- CTS, although he has always claimed that he was robbed in the Britt fight
 A scrap between, Young Corbett and Terry McGovern that is not included in the records took place in Scranton, Pa, a few years ago. The old rivals had been induced to bury the hatchet and go on a theatrical tour as joint stars The company was in Scranton on the anniversary of Young Corbetts s defeat of McGovern, and Jim Corbett was also playing in that city. Jim suggested a. love feast to celebrate the anniversary of the battle and the sub sequent treaty of peace, and it was pulled off width great eclat. In the theatre after the dinner Young Cor bett and Terry went through their usual performance, and were nearing its conclusion when the former made a Joking remark about his victory over Terry some years before. That arous- ed McGovern's ire, and, quick as a wink, he sent over a vicious punch that took Corbett on the chin, and sent him sprawling. As soon as he had recovered Corbett got up with blood in his eye, and only the en- treaties of Jim Corbett and others pre- vented a spirited rookus.
 In the opinion of Young Corbett, the greatest fighters in pugilistic his tory were Joe Cans and Terry Mo Govern.

Extra Sporting Page

sports like Clahby and would welcome him back, for he is one of the best fighters, they say, who ever visited the Antipodes, having made good in all his matches in that country and meet ing men who were much heavier with out complaint.
 It has developed that some of the foreign sporting men had in mind a match between Bomhardier Wells, the British heavyweight title holder, and Jack Johnson, the coIored champion, and that was one of the reasons for Johnson getting out of this country as he did. News comes from Paris that such a match was contemplated. to be held in one of the countries near France, but that the defeat of Wells by Carpenter, the French champion, changed the complexion of things con siderable. whether the promoters and give a fancy purse is not known, but judging from other reports re- ceived here from abroad they would have had fine deficit to face if they had gone through with it, as the sporting men have not forgotten Jacks escapades by a long shot. How ever, with the defeat of Packey Ma honey, the Irish heavyweight by Wells, the promoters may take another change of heart and take a gambler s chance. In England Wells is not talk en seriously as a champion any more. and if the lanky one hopes to get backing from his own people he will have to win a couple more fights be- fore they will care to take a chance on him.

1901-Joe Cans stopped DaI flaw kins in rounds at New York.

One of the McFadden fights was victory for Cans, another a draw. and in the third, fought in Frisco in '99, "E1bows'' knocked Cans out in the 23rd.

JOHNSON MAY FIGHT }
 BOMBARDIER WELLS NOW
(BY b. $. Andrewa.l

Tom O'Rourke, the. New York pro- nnoter, is determined to bring Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, into play again. Carl beat a fellow named Jack Geyer at Denver, and now Tom wants to make a champion out of him. Why not stack Tom McMahon, the Lancas- ter 180-pounder, agaiDEt Morris? If Carl can stand againct Tom for 10 rounds, he will then have some license to go against Gunboat Smith and Al Palzer.
 Jimmy C1abby, claimant of the mid d1eweight championship, may make has received flattering offer from Snowy Baker, the Sydney promoter, who took the Stadium over from Hugh D. Mcintosh, and the Hammond boy is considering the same. There is no real midd1eWeigh& in the country to- day with 8 better claim to the title than Clabby; I mean a niddleweight who can make 15S ringside and be right. Jack Dillon and Frank Klaus are claimants with C1abby, but of the bunch Clabby is the one who can do the weight nicely and be at his best; in fact, Clabby does not weigh over 155 at any time. Another thing, Clabby has beaten all the Australian midd1eweights and really holds the title of that country. Should Jimmy accept the offer he will not leave here until September, as he wants to battle with either Dillon or Klaus on Labor Day for the American title. He has already defeated Eddie McGoorty, one of the other real claimants, and fig ures that he can beat the Indiana polls boy, basing his claim on the fact that Dillon defeated Klaus at Indiana pol4H May 2s Last.
