BLOW TO FACE
Autopsy Reveals McCarty's Death
Was Not Due to Weak
Heart.
THE FIGHT WAS ILLEGAL
Fact That Police, Though Present,
Did Not Protest, EN-
harnesses.
Z THE FIGHT WAS ILLEGAL

Calgary, May ga dislocate
neck caused the death Saturday {
Luther McCarty during his tigh
with Arthur Pelkey, according to in
formation given out last night fol
lowing an autopsy conducted by d.
Moshier at the request of Corone
Costello.
1t was stated by the physician
that death undoubtedly had BEEF
caused by the dislocated neck an
that the heart was found to b.
sound. A clot of blood on the brail
aided in convincing the physician
that death was not due to the blow
near the heart.
Shortly after the contest begar
Saturday, McCarty received a sharI
jab to the jaw which sent his heat
back quickly. 1t did not appear tt
have caused any pain and he was
afterward on his feet for half a
minute. The left to the jaw was
followed by Pelky with right to
the heart region which caused the
spectators to believe the latter blow
had brought the knockout.
Physicians are of the opinion that
the dislocation of the neck was not
in the fall which followed.
He fell slowly and did not strike his
head.
Shortly before midnight last
night, and after the second examin-
alton had been made, the result of
the autopsy held Saturday night al
so was made known. The physi-
clans stated the investigation show
ed that McCarty died as the result
of the blow to the jaw which dislo-
Gated his neck, causing a rupture of
the spinal cord and hemorrhage Of
the spine. The medical evidence
will be produced at the formal in
quest today.
In discussing the case last night,
The crown prosecutor stated that all
prize fighting is illegal under the
statutes of Canada. 1t was intimat-
I'd that in addition to the charge
against Pelkey, other charges would
oe placed against Tommy Burns as
promoter, Eddie Smith of Chicago as
'eferee, and Billy Mccartney as man
ager of McCarty.
These, however, are not expected
or some time. A peculiar situation
:onfronts the authorities because Of
he fact that the bout was held out
side the city, that it was under the
of the mounted police
Ind several police officials attended
he contest, none, however, protest
ng that it was illegal.
The case OF Pelky will not be far
enough advanced to be tried at the
lssizes, which are now sitting, and
I heard will come up in October at
he earliest.
Just before the death of McCarty
vas announced, it developed yester-
lay, Pelkey had slipped into his
treet clothes at the request Of his
rainers and driven to his hotel in
n automobile. 1t was not until af-
er he had washed and dressed that
e learned OF McCarty's death. He
tarted from the hotel when officers
rived and took him into custody.
McCarty's body will be shipped to
is birthplace, at Hastings, Neb., to-
ay.
The fatal ending will have the eff
ect of putting the lid down tight
n boxing bouts in western Canada.
'ommy Burns succeeded for Just one
ear in running bouts at his arena
ocated outside Of the city limits.

MELLEN UTTERS PROTEST
Objects to Separation of Steam

New Haven Jan. l9-PreSldoni M'.leu
OF the Sew Haven Railroad said to-day
that separating the steamship and rail-
way lines OF the New Haven system
would deprive New England OF many
dock terminals i'm New York city
The people OF the United States" he
continued "havc spent hundreds Of
millions in attempts 10 improve the Mis-
sssippi River. aud have never received
adequate return therefor. because In"
railroad which gathered w the freight
on both sides Of the river did not con-
meet that freight with the steamship lines.
Il hav. labored in what believed 10
be the best interests OF New England for
unified rails and steamship lines where
the steamers connected with tho railroads
and supplemented the railroad service
The result il seen IN the prompt delivery
Of our freight service into New York,
whore We have ten terminals
II the people Of New England want
the New England railroad lines to give
IN their steamship lines to New York
city am perfectly willing TO do So. and
will accept the best possible bid | can
get for tho steamship lines. But the
people ana shippers Of New England may
awaken later To find that their shipping
facilities and terminals have thereby been
diminished and not increased. for with the
sale Of our steamship lines go half Of our
terminals In New York City. which half
can be reached only by steamers. Some
time the people will understand this bet
ter. but then It may be too late. You
cannot easily recover lost ground or ter
ritory i'm the transportation field.

vide facilities i'm advance. and not be

The dispute which has arisen SHOW 5
what the governments policy toward

Mr.. S,msou's action in this matter

little less than astounding. II the gov

doesn't it take the thing into the courts
