NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All

New York, Feb. 25--A sharp break in

railway stocks extended through the mar
ket today until losses of one 70 three

new TREASURER
OF new YORK,
Homer D. Call of Syracuse
Elected by Coalition of
Democrats and Progress
sives--Barns Charges that
The Moosers Attempted to
"Deal'' with Republicans.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 25.-Homer d.
Call of Syracuse today was elected
state treasurer at a joint session of
the Legislature, to succeed the late
John J, Kennedy.
Call was supported by Progressives
and Democrats.
William Barnes, state chairman of
the Republican party, declared tonight
that the Progressives offered to make
a deal" with the Republicans before
joining the Democrats, and that the Of
fer was spurned. His statement fol-
lows:
When I charged in October last
that Mr.. Roosevelt had made a deal
with the Democratic party to nomin-
ate Justice Seabury for associate
judge of the court of appeals, which
combination the Democratic state
committee repudiated, | did not know
that another example of the willing
ness of the Progressive party to COM
bine with the Democratic party of the
state of New York would be afforded
SO soon.
THE deal which was effected in the
Legislature today by which Mr.. Call
of syracuse was elected state treasur-
er with the aid of Tammany Hall
representatives clearly exposes the
methods of the Progressive party
which in 1912 gathered at Armageddon
for the express purpose of renoune-
ing political spoils. The good people
who were deceived by the remarks OF
Mr.. Flynn of Pittsburgh in the Chi
cago convention that the new party
was against the old methods, have no"
a splendid example of how much suef
protestations meant
Mr.. Call is vice president of the
American Federation of Labor.

BASEBALL, BOXING.
BOWLING, TENNIS,
RACING, YACHTING

1t was Fred Yelle's fight, and 1t is
doubtful if many of the 500 or 800
sports who saw the Taunton boy and
Matty Baldwin of Charlestown go II
of the fastest rounds Wednesday eve
ming that have ever been pulled off in
City hall could dope out the result of
the bout otherwise. Not that Matty
was at any time in any immediate
danger of being put away by the
siioekout route, for that temporary
suspension of animation has not as
yet come to him, Notwithstanding his
long years of experience in the squared
circle. but when the fight is considered
on the basis Of points there could
have been but one decision-that Yelle
won the greater proportion of them.
The fight was a good one from the
first, and one of the best exhibitions
of boxing yet seen in Augusta, and In
addition to that 1t was one of the
h fastest. The first two rounds of the
first set belonged to Baldwin, he get
ting to Yele in good shape. The third
was about even, but in the fourth
round Yelle began to Timber up and
to get to the Charlestown fighter in
h earnest. In the fifth he reached Mat
tvs eye with a blow that opened up
the flesh and set the blood running,
suonlenaented with hard blows to the
stomach. and the sixth round was
Yelle's by a good margin. The last
three rounds of this set all belonged to
A'elle.
+ The boys started the second set with
a quiet round. during which hut few
hard blows were landed and which
was about an even thing. but the 9TH
er five rounds of the set would have
|. been Yelle's had a decision been al
lowed In. In the fourth Yelle caught
Matty a blow on the chin that stag
.gored him for moment, but he came
back strong, and in the fifth and sixth
II seemed to many of those at the
'rings!de that Yelle had all the better
of the argument, hitting Baldwin re-
peatedly in the face, and had him
/ bleeding from the damaged left eye
and also from the mouth. Baldwin
took the punishment gamely and was
strong at the finish.
The preliminaries of the evening
were in keeping with the main bout,
but were brief, the reasons for which
were obvious. As a curtain raiser
|, Jimmie Bolduc and Spin Mcclure, both
local boys, started on a six-round
journey, but early in the second round
i Jimmies jaw came in contact with
McGuire's right mitt in a way that
started Jimmie for sunderland and
Pa second wallop in the same place the
next instant FASTENED the trip and
also made IN more comnlatp.
The semi-final also ended in the
