LOS ANGELES, May 30.--James
A. (Jimmy) McLarnin. who has
been dubbed somewhat inconsis-
tently as THE Belfast Spider
and 1.-THE Dublin Terror, held
the world s welterweight title to-
day.
He won the crown before 10000
fans when he sent Young
Corbett III, Fresno Italian. spin
ming in the resin in the first round
of their scheduled 10-round bout
at Wrigley field last night.
Corbett went down first from a
one-two, a hard right followed by
a harder left. He took a count of
nine and came up only to be
knocked flying again by a series of
lefts. He got to his feet once more
but this time he was an easy vic
tim to a long jolting left to the
jaw.
Referee George Blake. manager
of Fidel La Barba, former BAN
tamweight champion, took one look
at Corbett and then. without both
ering to count over the Italian,
raised McLarnin s hand in victory.
McLarnin, 25-year-old Irishnlan,
took only two minutes and 81 Sec
onds to polish off Corbett.
The sudden and dramatic finish
was a shock to the crowd, which
made Corbett a 10 to 7 pre-fight
favorite. The 10000 were hardly
settled in their seats when McLar-
min was turning a handspring at
ring center to celebrate his victory

claring it would openly scout high

Believed to be the first American

the California "Big c Society ,,
started the new policy in an article
in the California Monthly, official

said the organization not only
would canvass secondary schools

a full-time, salaried executive to
direct the work. Moreover, repre-

NEW ENGLAND BEGINS TO SHOW SOME GAINS
 IN BUSINESS LINES
There is More Activity and Greater Optimism As the Time Approaches For Seasonal Increase All Along the Whole Line

mills are purchasing the raw ma terial very sparingly.
 "A slight increase in employment was noted in the Massachusetts cotton mills in February, as com pared with January, with some- what larger increase in the dying and finishing divisions of the tex tile trade.
 "A moderate volume of orders was received for cotton yarns dur ing the week, although business was not so brisk as during the week preceding. The most active movement was in medium counts of weaving yarns. Prices are some- what irregular.
 Heavy orders were received last week from the knitters for worsted yarns and that division of the yarn trade still is the most active. Prices continue firm.
 "Boot and shoe manufacturers increased the total amount of wages disbursed during February by 33 per cent over January. The manufacturers were in receipt of a good volume of rush orders during the week and jobbers were kept busy on fill-in orders.
 Hides have been slightly weaker and tanners have been less willing to lay in stock They are holding their finished leather firm, how ever, but shoe manufacturers are buying mostly in small quantities.
 Manufacturers of silk and rayon goods had an increase in business during February of over 33 1-3 per cent, as compared with Jan- uary. The automobile dealers have on hand only moderate stocks of secondhand cars and are in position to take advantage of the demand for new cars, which is ex- pected to develop with the advent of warmer weather.
 Although the banking situation in most Massachusetts towns has been satisfactorily adjusted, quite number of the banks are still closed and bills are being paid slowly by customers in the state of Maine.'

New York, March 30.-(UP)- The sugar market took the spot light in the commercial world to- day with broad gains and heavy turnover, while stocks Jagged along in a narrow range, bonds reacted except U. s. governments, money turned easier, and the dollar lost some of it's recent gains.
 Interest in stocks centered about a few individual issues and groups. Sugar shares were in demand throughout the day as sugar fu- lures moved into higher ground. American Sugar Refining rose more than a point, while smaller gains were made by South Porto Rico Sugar and Cuban American com mon. The latter's preferred stock jumped more than 2 points to new high for the year.
 Alcohol issues also were in de- mand, aided by prospect of pas sage of the bill eliminating restric- tions on liquor prescriptions. Ma tfonal Distillers issues rose to new 1893 highs, and good gains were made by American Commercial AL cohol. and U. s. Industrial Alcohol.

GAS SALES OFF 5.8
 PERCENT IN STATE
 DURING PAST YEAR
Greatest Drop Reported In Industrial Line, Where Sales Were Down 9.3 Per Cent.

Final statistics on the sales of manufactured gas compiled by the American Gas association show that sales of gas held up excep- tionally we'll in Connecticut during the last year, the total sales in this state for 1882 amounting to 10,- 019,717,000 cubic feet as compared with a total of 10,639,743,000 for 1881, the largest annual figure on record. In the face of the most unfavorable conditions in recent history, the use of manufactured gas in Connecticut thus declined only 5.S per cent below the all- time record year.
 The American Gas associations s final figures also reveal exactly what might be expected in the gas sales of an industrial state such as Connecticut. The greatest drop in the use of gas last year came in the industrial and commercial category in which the decline was 9.3 per cent below 1891. The to- tai industrial and commercial sale was high, however, the consump- tion for the year being 2,025,201,- 900 cubic feet as against 2,233,- 594,000 cubic feet in 1881.

The household consump- tion of gas for cooking, water heating, room heating and for all other household purposes except house heating amounted to 7,141,- 920,00O cubic feet, total which was only 5.1 per cent below 1881 despite the fact that many families were forced by conditions to "dou- bIe up" and thus leave one gas customer where two existed previ- ously.
 Connecticut's high place in the use of gas for house heating was well maintained during the year, for this category of gas uses re- veals the least decline of all, one of S.1 per cent. Other uses of gas, listed as miscellaneous, showed a slight increase over the proceed ing year.

ENTOMBED MINER DIED AFTER HE
 WAS TAKEN OUT
Lived For 100 Hours
 Buried 55 Feet Deep -
 Died l2 Hours After His Rescue

Mt Carmel, Pa, March 30 -
 UP) - John Cheslock, Jr, 27, en- tombed in an abandoned mine near here for more than 100 hours, died early today - 12 hours after he was rescued. Rescue workers reached him late yesterday after sinking a shaft to the spot where he was caught. He was suffering From cold and hunger in addition Eto the injuries to his leg. Wrapped edn blankets, he was taken to a hos Fpital.
 The mine, high on the side of a mountain about a mile from Mt Carmel, could not be reached ex- cept on foot, which made rescue work difficult. Workers dug down 55 feet before they heard Ches- locks voice and were assured he was alive.
 Stanley Orluskie, who was with Cheslock when he was caught in the slide. directed the rescuers to where he thought his companion was trapped. He escaped by grasping a ladder as the slide started.
