DANE'S MANAGER
II
Betting on Lightweight Contest
at Goldfield Fills With
Gloomy Forebodings.
NELSON IN GREAT SHAPE
Doctor Declares That the Colored
Champion. Has Lost Xone of His
Strength In Getting Down
' to Required Weight.
GOLDFIELD, Nev., Sept. 2. The people
of Goldfield abandoned today their usual
occupations and devoted their undivided
attention to discission of the Gans-Nel-son
fight, which takes place at 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Among the miners
Gans appears to be a decided favorite.
The men who wield the pick think that
Gans has been imposed upon by Nelson's
manager and they want to see him win.
The usual crop of rumors of all kinds
,was spread during the day. These ru
mors ranged from -the statement that
there would be no tight, to the doping of
both fighters. . There was a decided in
crease in the betting today. Nelson fol
lowers being more In evidence than for
.several days past.
The largest individual wager recorded
was made by B. J. Riley, the lessor of a
prominent mining company. The bet is
one of the many peculiar wagers that
have been made in connection with the
coming fight. Riley put up 250,000 shares
of a mining company, valued at 125,000,
against 400,000 shares, controlled by a
Goldfield man, whose name was not di
vulged, that -Nelson would win the llght-
'welght battle. It Is stated that the con
trolling interest of the mining company
will hinge on the result of the battle.
Many smaller bets at odds of 10 to 7
and, in some cases, 10 to 8, were made.
Nolan in Suspicious Mood.
Nelson's manager Is not satisfied with
the manner in which betting on the re
sult is being conducted in Goldfield. He
goes so far as to Intimate that a certain
clique of San Francisco sporting men have
"something up their sleeves" that bodes
111 to Nelson. Nelson's manager made the
following statement tonight concerning
his suspicions that the Battler would not
receive fair play:
. Z have learned that there is now in the
hands of & Goldfield citizen of prominence
many thousands of dollars which have been
turned over to him to be placed on Gans at
almost any old price. At first I did not give
this matter much thought, and would not
have paid much attention to it, were it not
for the tact that several things have de
veloped today to arouse my suspicions.
A well-known San Francisco gambler, now
In camp and who has located himself at
-Gans' headquarters, was heard to remark
to a certain party last night that "This is
the one time that we are going to get Nolan
and Nelson, and we have them fixed so that
there is no possibility of them escaping."
This San Francisco man is associated with
a lot of other Coast people who never travel
long distances to witness fights unless they
have an ace up their sleeves.
Wonders What the Game Is.
These people have been making desperate
efforts to place their money on the negro,
regardless of the odds, and I have Informa
tion that they have telegraphed money to all
Pacific Coast cities, and. In some Instances,
to New York and Chicago, to be placed on
Gans.
Now, I do not know Just what their game
is, but I am prepared for them. I have
plenty of. money to wager that Nelson will
win this fight on the square, and as soon as
I am satisfied that everything la cleared
sway I will turn It loose.
I have notlfledapresident Rickard, of the
club, and Sheriff Bradley of my suspicions,
and they have assured me that every pro
tection will be given me tomorrow to guard
against possible Interference of any sort.
Sullivan Xo Longer Gans' Agent.
"Larry" Sullivan today caused a rip
ple of excitement announcing that he
had retired as financial agent for Joe
Gans, and that he had notified Gans to
this effect. Sullivan stated that there
was no significance in hlB withdrawal,
other than that, having taken Gans in
charge to assure him a fair deal, in
which undertaking he had been suc
cessful, he had decided to retire. Joe
Gans said:
"1 appreciate the compliment which
Goldfield has paid me. I'll make the
squarest tight of my career Labor Day
and I'll win."
Beyond taking a very short spin on
the country roads during the early
morning hours. Battling Nelson did
nothing in the way of training.
"You can inform the world at large,"
said his manager, "that Nelson weighed
In today at exactly 131 pounds etrlpped
and as his fighting togs will weigh
less than two pounds, I see no neces
sity for him doing any more hard
work.
Nelson Is Very int.
"Nelson is in the best shape since I
"nave been managing him. He Is pre
pared to meet Gans at any style of'
fighting the colored boxer chooses. The
length of the battle will be determined
on how fast Gans wishes to mix It.
i never yet have sen my man so con
fident of winning a fight, and if ever
he was eager to win a battle, the fight
with Gans is that one."
"His hitting has gained in accuracy
and force and he has constantly im
proved his scientific knowledge of the
game. He will go in from the first
tap of the gong and keep after Mr.
Gans until that worthy has been so
completely trimmed as to leave no
doubt in the minds of the spectators as
to who is the better man. I look for
Nelson to win within 12 or possibly
15 rounds."
Nelson's appearance today convinced
those who saw him stripped after his
brief morning run that he was at the
acme of what a perfectly trained ath
lete should be. Nothing had been left
undone In the way of Improving his
wind, and In a statement issued by Dr.
Tillman, who again examined the Dane
today for the benefit of a few men.
said that Nelson would be able to stand
a pace set by any living man of his
weight. Nelson's father arrived last
night and spent the afternoon chatting
with his boy.
Gans Spends Day In Loafing.
The best proof that Gans will make
the required weight tomorrow is the
fact that with the exception of a short
run on the road today he did no work
of any kind. He spent the morning in
bed and in the afternoon he lolled
about tho hotel and chatted with his
friends. Gans seemed to be most con
'fldent and outlined his plan of battle
He said:
Lota of i eople have asked me what I am
going to do when Nekwn bores In all the
time. They have warned me that walklnc
backwards Is very tiring on the legs. I have
never yet walked backward In a fight. I
think I am something of a borer myseir. i
know that I can bit harder than Nelson: I
know that I am a better boxer than Nslson,
and If It comes to an exchange of blows,
jvhy should I retreat? X wlU be going to
SMELLS
MOUSE
meet Nelson just as hard as be Is coming
to meet me. That means that we will be
close together as long a the fight lasts.
Joe May Do Some Boxing.
'When Mr. Nelson commences slugging he
will find me there ready to exchange blow
for blow with him. I know that I am faster
than he, and if he tries that game the fight
will probably be over quicker than most peo
ple anticipate. , If I find that my blows are
not hard enough to knock him down or
knock him out, but are still hurting him, of
course I will do some boxing, and It at the
end of 15 rounds Mr. Nelson is In condition
to do me any damage I will be greatly sur
prised. I admit that I will be a little tired
myself, but the man who is being hit bard
enough to hurt him becomes more tired than
the man who does the hlttlna.
Gans will not enter the arena until
noon Monday, when he weighs In for
the first time. He said that he had
seen enough prizefight rings during
his career and he had no curiosity to
examine this one until the day of the
tight When asked what he thought of
Nelson's propensity for butting, Gans
said that in all his fighting career he
had been butted only eight times. He
sal J that the butters generally got the
worst of It.
There on the Butting Game.
"You see," he said, " we colored peo
ple are noted as having pretty hard
heads, and I reckon that mine will
stand Just as much butting as Mr.
Nelson's."
Dr. J. H. O'Connor, who examined
Gans this afternoon, said: ""An ei-
ftmuiiiun ii uuiis snows lutti lit? una
not lost any strength in reducing to
the required weight."
- It is officially announced that
"Larry" Sullivan has been selected as
announcer for the fight.
The men who will handle the fight

corner will be found Frank McDonald.

DIRECTORS MET OFTEN
UNBOUNDED CONFIDENCE x IN
HIPPIiE BLINDED THEM.
Investigation Is Showing Others In
volved in Ruin of Philadel
phia Trust Company.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2. Both Re
ceiver Earle and District. Attorney Bell
spent the greater portion of the day
in examining the evidence in posses
sion, showing that others beside Frank
K. Hippie, the suicide president of the
Real Estate Trust Company, were par
ties to the transactions resulting in
the collapse of the institution.
Several directors today met in the
office of J. D. Junkin. a director and a
solicitor of the company, who has ad
mitted that the Barling Brooke Real
Estate Company, of which he was the
head, borrowed $250,000 from the Real
EstateTrust Company.
After the meeting Mr. 'Junkin said he
would issue a statement tonight dealing
with the subject, but later he changed
his mind and gave to the press the fol
lowing: "After mature consideration and in the
full knowledge that I have done nothing
wrong, I have decided that it Is best
not to make at this time any public
statement concerning the matter printed
;in the newspapers of this morning. All
inaeDteaness win De zuiiy met on call
from the receiver."
Vice-President Houston, of the de
funct trust company, today declared
that if any directors have borrowed
money from the bank it would be re
turned as soon as the receiver calls
for It. Depositors representing $300,
000 entrusted to the bank have en
gaged Samuel Clement, ex-Assistant
District Attorney, to prosecute the di
rectors. Discussing the liabilities of
the directors, John H. Converse, head
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and
one of the board of directors of the
trust company, said today:
"That which was done in the case of
the Real Estate Trust Company would
be possible under existing laws and
regulations in the affairs of any other
trust company in Philadelphia. The
directors went through the forms that
are observed by other boards of direc
tors. The fault is with the present
system, which must be radically
changed before it may safely be said
that any real estate trust crash is 'out
of the question."
Converse denied a statement that the
directors had held but one meeting in
two years.
"Except, perhaps, for a recess of
two months in Summer, the board met
with absolute regularity," said he. "I
do not know of a board whose mem
bers were more constant in their at
tendance." Asked if it was not surprising that
the president could have put through
the board statements of such a char
acter that he could so long continue
the deception, Converse replied:
"I must confess that I am amazed
that this could have been carried on
under the eyes of the board, but it is
because of our unbounded confidence
in Hippie. Nevertheless, I believe it
will be shown that Hippie's downfall
did not begin many years ago, but
within a comparatively recent period."
Evidence of Great Looting.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.-'"From the
evidence in my possession, the collapse
of the Real Estate Trust Company ap
pears to be the result of stupendous loot
ing. I intend to proceed to the limit
against the persons liable."
This statement was made tonight by
District Attorney Bell, after a day spent
In examining the evidence handed to him
yesterday by Receiver Earle, of the de
funct trust company. That Frank Hippie,
the suicide president of the institution,
was not alone responsible for the crash,
both Receiver Earle and District Attor
ney Bell are satisfied, and arrests may
be looked for at any time. The bank's
officers alone may not bear the burden of
responsibility.
The receiver and the District Attorney
have devoted much time to the question
of the. liability of directors, and develop
ments today indicate that at least two of
them may be called upon for an explana
tion of their action in certifying to the
correctness of bank statements which
have since proved to be false. The names
Signed to the last semi-annual statement
of the Real Estate Trust Company were
H. P. Borden, R. Dale Benson and Frank
K. Hippie. In the semi-annual statement
must be Included an itemized list of col
lateral held by the bank.
As the directors of the trust company
of their own admission accepted the word
of others for the securities in the bank's
possession, and it has been disclosed that
the lists prepared were fictitious, there
arises the liability of those who signed
the statement for false certification and
negligence for falling to investigate the
condition of the collateral before attest
ing the statement.
r
RAGEWITH GERMANS
American Yachtsmen to Try
Craft of a New Type.
PRESIDENT GIVES THE CUP
Promotion of. Good Feeling Between
the Two Countries and to Give
Yachtsmen of Moderate
Means a Chance.
MARBLEHEAD, Mass., Sept. 2. To
promote good feeling between the Ger
man and American people, to increase
the interst in international racing, and
to enable yachtsmen of moderate means
to take part in the sport, are the ob
jects which the Eastern Yacht Club, of
Boston, and the German Emperor hope
to attain by the series of races -which
will begin tomorrow in Massachusetts
Bay between six small yachts represent
ing the two countries.
The incentive is a massive silver bowl,
for which President Roosevelt stands as
sponsor and which is offered by the East
ern Yacht Club. Next year it is believed
that Emperor William will be the donor
of the trophy when the races are sailed
at Kiel.
The German aspirants or challengers
are the Glueckauf IV, owned by Gustav
Stinnes, of Muehlhelm, representing the
Imperial Yacht Club, of Kiel; the Tilly I,
owned by Messrs. Doltman and Krog
mann, of Hamburg, and representing the
North German Racing Union, and the
Wannsee, representing the Wannsee Sail
ing Club and owned by that organiza
tion. The American seekers for, or, as they
are regarded here, the defenders of the
trophy, are the Auk. owned by Charles
Francis Adams, of the Quincy Yacht
Club: the Caramba, owned by C. H. W.
Foster, of the Eastern Yacht Club,- and
the Vim, owned by Commodore T. Liver
pool, of the .American Club, of New York.
All six yachts are the pick of two big
fleets on either side of the ocean.
The race will be 6ft Half Way Rock,
off the northern shore of Massachusetts
Bay. At least four races will be sailed
and the Roosevelt cup will go to the
owner of tho yacht who wins three out
of five races.
The event is the first match between
yachtsmen of this country and any coun
try In Continental Europe, and as such
marks a new era in the sport. In princi
ple it is different from any other match
ever held in one vital respect, namely,
the competing boats are built and the
races sailed under the rules of the visit
ing club. This gives the visitors an ad
vantage that will go a long way toward
compensating for any handicap that they
may Buffer from racing on strange
waters in a strange country. Again, the
type of boats is a familiar one In Ger
many, but an entirely new one to the
American designers, and the outcome
will be watched with great Interest, to
see whether the Yankee designer, build
ing without previous trial, has turned
out a boat which is faster than his Ger
man competitor.
The restrictions are that the yachts
must be built with the total length of
the water line, beam and draught not
over 32 feet, the sail area not over 550
square feet and the weight of the boats
more than 4035 pounds. The American
yachts average 36.8 over all and 19.41 feet
on the water line. The German yachts
average 32.92 feet over all and 20.50 feet
on the water line. The courses will be
alternately triangular or windward and
leeward.
NO TERMS FOR REBELS
CUBAN GOVERNMENT PROPOSES
TO FIGHT IT OUT. ,
With a Few Millions in the Treas
ury No Loans Will Be Nec
essary for Sometime.
HAVANA, Sept. 2. The hopes of those
who Saturday night tentatively suggested
a proposition of mutual concession as a
means of ending the rebellion were shat
tered today when President Falma called
General Cebreco, one of the proposed Por
to Rico Commissioners, to the palace and
informed him that the government had
no concessions to offer and accept and
no intention other than fighting the mat
ter through and suppressing the insur
rection. General Menocal, who headed the list of
proposed Commissioners, sent word to the
promoters of the project that he would
have nothing to do with it, unless he
could approach the insurgents with a defi
nite otter of some kind from President
Palma. The promoters, however, are not
entirely discouraged, and another meeting
may be held later.
The Associated Press learned today
from a source ordinarily absolutely re
liable that the inner circles of the govern
ment had about reached a tentative un
derstanding that if the government was
unable to control the insurrection by Sep
tember 15, it would ask for the assistance
of the United States, but when this asser
tion was broached to the members of the
government, it was met with such an em
phatic denial as to leave no room for
doubting that, .whatever the government
may have decided, it has decided to see
the thing through by all the force of arms
it can command and abide by the re
sults. One of the main reasons why the gov
ernment feels encouraged to pursue the
fight to the end by force, as was outlined
to the Associated Press this evening by
F. Sterling, Secretary of the Treasury, is
its abundance of money.
"We have $19,000,000 on- hand," said the
Secretary of the Treasury. "Don't over
look that. And we have a monthly in
come of $2,000,000. The August receipts
and customs duties were greater than
ever before. We will not need to nego
tiate loans for some time to come, at the
least.
"Yes, most of what we have has been
appropriated by Congress, but these ap
propriations must wait. We shall use
the money in putting down the rebellion."
The number of daily enlistments, is not
known, as the work is being carried on
in so many different places, but the ex
pectation is to have 8000 men in the field,
inclusive of regulars and volunteers.
What is beginning to disturb business
interests more than anything else Is the
increasing evidence that tobacco plant
ing, sugar cultivation and crop prepara
tions will begin so late as to be ruinous
to the coming Winter's crops. The plant
ers see no prospect either of getting
men to do their work or of borrowing
money for developing the crops.
War preparations In Havana are un
ceasing. A machine gun corps this after
noon left Castallo de Lapunta and four
companies are stationed, one at LaFuerz
Castle, in front of the palace, two at
the arMnal and one at Vedado shore
fort. "Kie men are not drilled or disci
plined. TTp to tonight no new fights be
tween government forces and insurgents
have been reported
El Economlsta, the leading financial
weekly, eays that the revolution, besides
costing millions of dollars damage to
Industries, which are operating on for
eign capital, will, if continued for sev
eral weeks, cause ruin to the tobacco
crop, amounting to from $12,000,000 to $15,-
UUO.000, besides a years loss to the farm
ers. The paper says the loss to the cat
tle interests will be frotn $20,000,000 to
$30,000,000. Concerning the sugar crop it
says that a continuation of the trouble
for two months will mean a loss of from
$100,000 to $200,000, on account of the lack
of labor.
The paper reckons the losses to the
fruit crop at about $4,000,000, and says all
these losses can, at most, only be par
tially remedied unless there Is a prompt
efforts for peace or the Immediate as
sistance of the United States is asked.
Troops Cannot Find Enemy.
SAN JUAN DE MARTINEZ, Cuba,
Sept. 2. Colonel Ovalo's troops are re
turning here, for the reasons, as given
by the Colonel, that he has received no
orders from General Rodriguez, that pro
visions at Guaneo were running low, and
the same condition would obtain if he
occupied other small towns, and that
Pino Guerrera aaes not want to fight,
anyway, and can readily avoid govern
ment forces. The non-receipt of orders
may be explainable by the robbery of
mall-sacks, which is known to have oc
curred between here and Guanes. Guer
rera's force is mostly camped at Mantua.
Three rural guards and a Sergeant
have been arrested at Guanes and will
be taken to Havana, charged with trea
son and conspiracy to kill Lieutenant
Alvarez, commander at Guanes, previous
to the arrival of the main body, and to
blow up the Town Hall and deliver the
town to the Insurgents.
Hundreds of Guerrera's men have been
seen the past two days eastward of Plnar
del Rio City, and it is believed a mobil
ization of Insurgent recruits In this sec
tion Is In progress.
Santiago Uprising Not Confirmed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. A telegram
received at the State Department, from
Sleeper, American charge at Havana,
today stated that the reported upris
ing in Santiago Province had not been
confirmed and added that it was be
lieved that the report was due to the
crossing over of a small band from
Santa Clare Province.

Salutes Will Greet Him.,
. OYSTER BAY, Sept. 2. The United
States Atlantic fleet is ready for the
inspection of President Roosevelt,
when the greatest American naval re
view in history takes place. The .45
ships were in the positions assigned
them at noon. They lie in three ol
umns east and west, just inside the
entrance to Oyster Bay in Long Island
Sound.
Just before dark the Dolphin, flying
the flag of the Secretary of the Navy,
steamed into the harbor and anchored.
The Mayflower, which is to carry Pres
ident Roosevelt, lies tonight where he
will board her in the morning in the
harbor of Columbia Grove. A number

bor in readiness for the morning. .
The President's -guests tonight at
Sagamore Hill include the Secretary of
the Navy and Mrs. Bonaparte, Speck von
Sternburg, the German Ambassador,
and Surgeon-General Ebey. The har
bor tonight is crowded with every
type of craft that can be pressed into
service tomorrow. Oyster Bay is
overwhelmed with guests. The single
hotel turned crowds away supperless
tonight.
In making the review the May
flower, with President Roosevelt on
board, will steam to the head of the
center column, then along its south
side and between it and the torpedo
craft forming the first column which
lies nearest the shore. In going down
the line the President will pass and
receive the salutes of 12 battleships,
eight cruisers and four monitors. The
Mayflower will then turn the column,
circle the entire fleet and take up a
position to the east of Admiral Evans'
flagship Maine, thus heading the whole
fleet. Here the official calls to the
commanders of each ship will be paid
to the President, who vlll entertain
the commanders and his guests on the
Mayflower at luncheon.
A Balute in unison 'from the entire
fleet will be fired when the President
comes within signalling distance, and
as the Mayflower clears the stern of
each ship another salute of 21 guns
will be fired by the' ship reviewed.

PARIS. Sept. 2. Madame Severine
writes in the Petit Parlslen a most pa
thetic appeal addressed to the new-born
son of the Crown Prince of Germany to

In a Berlin prison under the sentence of
death. The execution has been post
poned until after the birth of the woman's
child, and as an act of grace she has
been given a further reprieve of three
weeks in which to nnrse her babe.
"Highness," reads the letter, "nobody
has yet addressed a petition to you. This,
the first one, comes from a country
where no human suffering is looked upon
unmoved. I might have addressed It- to
your grandfather, but he is an Emperor,

Farley's Strikebreakers Re
sent Hoots and Stones.
CROWD TAKES TO BRUSH
Men Brought to Run Cars at San
Francisco Create' Excitement at
-' a Railroad Junction in
State of Nevada.
HAZEN, Nev., Sept. 2. Serious trouble
occurred here this afternoon at the
Junction of the Southern Pacific and
the Goldfield & Tonopah Railroads when
the second section of a train carrying
strikebreakers to San Francisco arrived.
A number of union miners met the train
and hooted the strikebreakers. Finally
a stone was hurled through a car window
and it was answered by a shot.
A number of - the men on the train
Jumped off. The conductor gave the go
ahead signal, but the strikebreakers
stopped the train and delayed It 30
minutes. A hundred or more dismounted
and brandishing revolvers hurled defi
ance at the union men. Fifty or more
delegates to the Republican state con
vention at Tonopah and a crowd on
their way to the Goldfield prizefight took
to the sagebrush.
When the train was finally started a
crowd with revolvers stood on the rear
platform. As they passed several min
ers the latter hurled stones at them.
Fully 50 shots were fired from the train.
One bat was struck, but no one, was
hurt. A number of shots struck the de
pot and several struck a freight car on
a sidetrack.
Not a shot was fired by the miners,
who were the only ones left aboard the
depot, excepting employes, when the
strikebreakers dismounted and advanced
on the crowd. More trouble is feared
when the next section arrives.
WAITING FOR HIS MOTORMEJf
Calhoun Says City Ordinance on
Experience Will Not Be Regarded.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2. There was
no change today in the street railway
strike. No attempt was made by the
United Railroads to operate cars. Pros
pects for an early settlement of the strike
are growing less, as neither side to the
controversy seems inclined to make any
further concessions.
Six hundred men were brought into this
city by the United Railroads this morn
ing at 3 o'clock. The men have been held
at nearby points for a favorable oppor
tunity to bring them In without the
knowledge of the carmen's fiickets.
These men are. it is asserted, not motor
men, but construction men.
President Calhoun, of the United Rail
roads, said today that he was patiently
waiting the arrival of enough motormen.
He had expected to be able to start the
cars some time this week. Referring to
a city ordinance that motormen must
have one week's training before being
permitted to run cars, President Calhoun
said that it would not be regarded.
Fifteen strikebreakers, electricians and
linemen, recruited In Tampa, Fla., ar

Adorn the vale and crown the hill, t
Stout labor lights its beacon-fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and mill.
The monarch oak, the woodland's pride,
.- "Whose trunk is seamed with lightning scars,
Toil launches on the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag of stars;
The engine with its lungs of flame,
And ribs of brass and joints of steel,
From Labor's plastic fingers came,
"With sobbing valve and whirling wheel.
'Tis Labor works the magic press,
And turns the crank in hives of toil,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
'Here sun-browned Toil, with shining spade,
Links lake to lake with silver ties
Strung thick with palaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies

the others were hired for the United Rail
roads by an agent of James Farley, who

transportation. Benson declared that he
was promised $6 a day, but that Farley's

Benson learn of the strike from the train
men, and he decided to desert. He did
not know what became of the rest of the
men. According to Bpnson, there was no
one in charge of the party, but no one
was engaged who did not have consid
erable baggage, the checks for which were
kept by Farley's agent, who instructed
the men to report to the office of the
United Railroads for their baggage.
