BOXING NOTES

Freddy Welsh, the worlds champion lightweight, is being guided into a lot of coin by his manager, Harry Pollock and the chances are that when Freddy begins to count his pile in the spring. he will go into the five figures strong He must be given credit for one thing he is not afraid to tackle any of the much time for training Under these scondi itiens 1t is not surprising that Welsh wants to make his matches at catchweights or at q point tn at will not bring him down too low If he kept in hard training all the while and tried to make the Hel1tweight linn it he would soon go stale and that is what he wants to avoid
 \ There is little doubt that Welsh can make the proper weight when the oe- casion demands. His contest with Jimmy Duffy in Buffalo was not de- lcisive, many claiming. that Dufy had a good draw out of it, while some claimed a victory for Freddy and one paper said Jimmy won. It was g case of the White match over again, leav- ing plenty of roon for doubt about the winner.
 was not much doubt among those who were not prejudiced. that Welsh had won by a fairly good shade. Duffy 1sy a. boy who likes to weigh around zsiS ioo pound notch, so that WTeddy did not gain aything by meeting him above the lightweight limit
 Promoters are busy tring to get Welsh and Packey Mcfarland togeth- CT again, but there seems little chance unless the Chicago boy can do weight somewhere near the lightweight limit Packey may be able to do 1s6 or even l55.s as stated, but there is grave doubt about 1t. James J. EoffrotF, the Cal1- fornia promoter, tried hard to match Welsh and White for a champion ship tilt December 15, which would be the Wind-up of the game in that state,
 but manager. Pollock failed to agree to terms. DoInintck Tortotich of New Orleans is also trying to get them to-
 gether in a twenty round match, but there has been nothing. doing as yet It is possible that they will be brought
 together again in Milwaukee. over the

TEAM CRASHES into
PLATE GLASS WINDOW
OF BANK BUILDING

The corner plate glass window of the
Idaho Trust g. Savings bank was
smashed this morning at 1880 o'clock.
Robert Noble, president of the bank,
and J. F. Colvin, who were in Mr..
Mobiles private office, HAD narrow es-
capes and a horse owned by the Graves
Transfer company was quite badly cut
when a runaway team, charging up
Main street. headed directly for the
bank corner and had not both horses
gone down when they struck the walk
driving the pole through the hard wood
beneath the window, both men in the
office would ely have been badly
injured.
Today made the third time which
the corner window in the bank build
ing has been smashed by a runaway.
The two former times were when the
building was occupied by w. E. Pierce
& Co.. The team which ran away to-
day got away from the driver near
Twelfth street and dragging the
weight dashed up Main street and into
the building. AS the horses went down
on the walk the tongue was driven
through the wooden frame. There was
a splintering of wood and crashing
of glass. The fact that the heavy shade
inside OF the bank was drawn prevent
ed the glass from flying into the office
with any force and consequently no
one was hurt. Rev. d. H Jones had
just left the office prior to the crash.
The team which ran away Is the
same team which ran away last sum-
mer and smashed q big plate glass
window in the 7. M. G. A. building.

ted today, sustained the issue Of bonds

BIG SwINDLE BY
PATRICK CALHOUN
NOW DISCLOSED
Sensational Statement Is
sued by California State
Railroad Commission, De-
failing Transactions.

Sah Francisco. May 2S.-The state
railroad commission issued a state
ment today which said Patrick Cal
houn, when president of the United
Railroads of San Francisco took from
the funds of this public utility oorpor-
alton over 100000 when every avail
able dollar was needed properly to in
crease the facilities Of the company"
and that he gave Jesse Lilienthal. his
successor, promissory note for ST.
10000. payable one day after date.
which Lilienthal wrote down in the
companys books as of value Of one
dollar. The statement is embodied in
an opinion and order issued by the
commission on the United Railroads
application for permission to borrow
money to increase Its rolling stock.
The statement says that although Cal
houn was authorized by the directors
to do this. yet the whole transaction
was fraud and that the creditors were
defrauded.
Calhoun, says the statement, gave as
security for the money stock of an ir-
rigation company which met financial
calamity months ago. The commission
says: I'VE hesitate to put in words a
proper characterization of this transac-
ton. The United Railroads was paying
dividends on first preferred stock and
these stockholders apparently Joined in
confirmation of the facts of Calhoun in
iooting the company of this company,
and this at a time when the company
was urging on this commission the
necessity Of issuing further bonds to
pay off maturing obligations and also
at time when admittedly its out
standing obligations could not be paid
at maturity by approximately 100000
00o."
The commission ruled for the good
Of the city to allow the execution of
the car equipment trust to the extent
Of $37S,000.

SALE OF LANDS
CONTINUED from First PagsI.

s12.5o and $40 per acre. Secretary of
State Clifford and State Auditor Taylor
at that meeting voted for the sale with
the understanding the $3.50 acres Of
land was to be eliminated.
Governor Hawley recommended that
the lease the company had with the
state be extended to give the Potlatch
Lumber company time in which to cut
the timber on the land. The greater
portion of the land in the $4,000 acres
the then governor found valueless for
agricultural purposes, but this classi-
f1cation does not apply to the Swamp
creek lands. Later Governor Hawlev
stated he was convinced that the board
did not have the rcwer to extend tho
lease.
Attracts Attention.
The recent closing with the Potlatch
Lumber company by the land board for
the sale OF part of the agricultural
lands to the Potlatch Lumber company
has attracted statewide attention.
There is opposition to the policy of
disposing Of large tracts Of land owned
by the state to corporations, and It
was this policy TINT Governor Hawiey
opposed, looking at 1t from the stand
point OF the state and not from tho
standpoint of an individual, he says.
Two years ago when the question of
sale came up objections were regis
tered with the board by settlers. Whom
the sale of the smaller tract came up
