The machine was known as the Staa-

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

The entertaining climax to an excellent bill at the Lyric is presented in an in- teresting and thrilling sketch, 'The Wis itor,'' featuring Porter J. White and a capable company. This sketch is original, novel, entertaining and keeps the au- dience in suspense until the lact act. MT. Whites portrayal of the supposed mur- derer is perfect and his acting is su- perb. Lew Hawkins monologuist and comedian, is the funny spot of the bill and he entertains highly with jokes and stories. Willing and Jordan present an excellent singing act and the song se- lections are very popular Miss Jordan displays much animation, and possesses a pleasing personality. "The Food Question: musical satire, featuring George R. Murphy, is pleasing and en- tertaning vehicle. Murphy is a good comedian, and as long as he is on the stage the audience is being highly enter tained. Miss Florence Auburn possesses very pleasing voice and her song num- bers are very attractive.
 The Three Nelson Comiques open the bill and do some clever tumbling and the Mutual reel life pictures are enter taining.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

J. CORBETT
 Some persons since have claimed that I hit Mitchell when he was down. But I didn't-and Mitchell will bear me out in that statement. swung at him, as I have said, and with intent to hit but my blow didn't land At the time 1 swung, Mitchell was off his knees and in a position which gave me the legal
 right to hit him if l could.
 Mitchell got up and clinched until he was able to- recover from his grogginess
 Then he went at it again, hammer and tongs and we were smashing away at each other at hurricane clip when the gong banged, ending the second round.
 As the bell changed, l did the usual
 thing-jgmped back to my corner for the one minute rest My face, naturally,
 was toward my corner as went to my | chair and my back toward the center Of the ring. Just as I was about to turn 1 to sit in my chair, terrific blow caught me back of the ear. I wnirled-we went at it again.
 The fierce milling carried us from my corner into the center of the ring. There we stood, toe-to-toe banging at each other. Meanwhile, Mitchells seconds and mine. as well as the referee, tried to separate Ns, while the crowd was in an uproar% The ring officials finally sue ceeded in prying us apart, but not before several of them got i'll the way of some wild punches.s
 Mitehells attack on me from behind
 during the rest period only added to my fury and when the third round bell called us into the ring again, I went out to finish Mitchell in that round or die in the attempt I rushed at him like wild bull and hit him with everything I had Charlie fought back gamely, but soon saw that my blows were weak Ri A- 1,a -fa od fo eff q left lead. shot my right into his body-perhaps the hardest blow I ever hit any man in my life. Charlie sagged and then I shot a lightning right to his jaw.
 The blow landed full on the point Of the chin-and charlie toppled toward me.
 When the man you hit falls toward you it means only one thing-he is going down to stay there. And, so, as Mitch ell slowly crumpled and began to fall face downward, I turned and went to my corner.

SAFRAN ARRESTED BY FEDERAL AGENTS
 AS ALIEN ENEMY
Employe of Alabama Power Company to Be Interned. Value of Information
 Overestimated

Bruno D, Safran, an employe of the Alabama Power company. was placed in the county jail late Wednesday night by the order of Reese Murray and Mark Hanna, federal investigating agents, on a charge of being an enemy alien. It is claimed that Safran contrived to secure a place Of trust and responsibility with the Alabama Power company in order to gain military knowledge of the industry and it's most vulnerable points in order to impart the information to the na- tions enemies.
 Safran was apprehended and taken into custody on a warrant of the United States department of justice, and it is expected that as soon as official action can be taken in the matter ho will be interned for the remainder of the war.
 It was at first stated that Safran had secured and had in his possession the complete specifications and drawings of the Alabama company, having been at work in the drafting department, and that by adhering to them it would be possible to place dynamite in positions advantageous enough to destroy the whole operation of the plant When questioned about the matter. however, the officials of the company stated that the information that he had in his pos session was greatly overestimated. Spe- cial Agents Murray and Hanna would make no statement other than that Safran would probably be interned for the period of the war

By JAMES (This is the fifth of series of arti- cles which MT. Corbett is writing con- corning his battle with Charlie Mitch- ell in Jacksonville, Fla, January 25, 1894. The next installment will appear tomorrow)
 Charlie Mitchell opened our fight in Jacksonville with left jab that gashed open my mouth and drew blood. But Charlie paid dearly for that belt. It served as final spark to explode me. Spurred by anger and feeling that my advantage over Mitchell in size made it unnecessary for me to play a defensive game, I threw science and skill to the four winds and went out to finish him in the quickest fashion possible.
 That first round was a whirlwind af- fair I was after Charlie every second of the time. putting the whole force of my body into every blow, abandoning my usual jabbing tactics. I didn't want to out hin-my whole thought was to send him crashing to the floor, and every swing went with all my force be- hind it.
 But my attack, although it surprised Mitchell didn't disconcert him. That boy was game-clear through4and when he saw that I had elected to slug, he also pressed his boxing tricks and slugged with me- toe-to-toe. The crowd, which had looked for a boxing match long drawn out, went wild over the unexpected turn of events which brought bloodshed and satisfied it's lust for gore
 The second round started like the first, at furious clip. Both of us stood in the center of the ring and lashed away at each other, neither did much in defensive work We were too intent upon smashing each other to notice whether blows landed on us or not. The smashing was a little more than half over when I shot home terrific right to Mitchelrs jaw, and Charlie went down on his knees facing toward me.
 I stepped back as the referee began counting over Mitchell and as he reached "sx," Charlie lifted himself off his knees and rushed in at him and swung. My blow missed it's mark-I didn't hit Mitchell in the head, body or anywhere else. But Charlie slipped back on the floor, probably to avoid being hit.

The change of bill at Loew's Bijou yesterday afternoon and night afforded Loew patrons an opportunity to wit hess one of the best bills of the sea- son. Frances Rice, female impersonator and character sketch artist, lived ur to all advance notices, and captivated her audience to perfection with ap- parent ease.
 The picture, "The Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds Is a superb film, and in view of it's historic basis it is exception : ally interesting, the story being found ed upon the life of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Four other big vaudeville acts are witnessed, among which is the five violin beauties, an exceptionally clever act, in scenic ef- feet and talent of the young women who perform on their violns.
 Murphy and Klein are a clever cou- pie, and their work was exceptionally good, pleasing the capacity house to the point of extravagant applause.
