Mayor Tay lor authorized the Examiner tonight to announce Hiat he opposed to prlie flghtlng and the prlseflght trust and would do everything In hi power to prevent the holding of professional box ing contests. "I should not like to be misunder stood." explained the mayor. "I have never attended a prtseflght myself, but I have no fault to find with the man who does. I can understand how men, vital and alive, can be attracted by an exhibition of the physical mastery of one man by another. It la a primary and elemental Instinct. Personally, however, I am oppoaed to prlxeflghtlng because I believe the public has no assurance that the contests they par to see are contests In fact. X believe there Is no honesty In the game aa It Is played In and around San Francisco. Protects FnbUo. "I think no executive of a munlct- "psJtty has a right to decree against popular sport or amusement, but I do think It Is the duty of an executive 'to protect the public against palpable swindles." 'i Coincident with this announcement . from the mayor was a statement by De tective WlUlam J Burns that the graft prosecutors Intended to proceed against the fight trust magnates for bribing the supervisors Just as soon ss they cleared up the other matters now engaging their attention. 'The prosecution of the fight trust men hss not been dropped," said Burns, "and the Intention la to hold every one of them Involved by the confessions of the supervisors before the grand Jury to account. "Abe Jtuef will be called as a witness against the fight trust men, and the prosecution is certain of obtaining con- vlctlona." . Phalarf Xa Overlooked. Mayor Taylor explained that bis views in the matter might not be shared by i the new board of supervisors, and that he would not have sole power to pro hibit prise fighting In San FranoUoo. He intimated strongly, though, that all the Influence he could personally exert in the new administration would be di rected against professional pugilism. Besides this announcement Mayor Taylor reiterated his intention to have organized labor represented in the new board of supervisors and said he had made no offer to Jomes I). Phelan to become Identified with his administra tion. "I have not asked Mr. Phelan to ac cept any position," the mayor said, "and have no intention of doing so at Tires ent. Occasions may arise in future which might lead me to offer him som post In the municipal government, but i nave not asgea mm to join tue no Doara oi supervisors.' (Joarntl pectal gtrrice.) Dublin.

In outlining his evicted tenants' bllL Mr. Birrell. the Irish chief aecretary. appropriately termed it a measure which would en able the houses of parliament to keep faith with the Irish people. He declares that this time he is going to make a clean job of the business. It is to be hoped so. But faith with the Irish people haa been broken so often that skepticism is natural.

Or., July 20 The annual Tillamook county fair and street carnl val will take place August it, 21 and 24 It promises to ba another interesting event in this prosperous county, as the business men have taken bold with determination to make the fair much more interesting and attractive than last year, especially aa so many visitors and homeseekers are coming Into the county this year. One of the special features of the fair will be the dairy exhibits, as TlUajnook county is the banner dairying section of Oregon. This Is always interesting, especially as the aajrymen or Tillamook are re ceiving the highest price for butter. rat in me nisiorv or tne county, rang ing from S3 to 37 cents per pound this year, the dairy herds averaging from 110 to $14 per cow per month. The fair will also embrace a stock snow in which dairy stock will take a prominent place. As so many campers come to TlUa- mooK in August to enjoy the cool at mosphere and a summer's vacation In this delightful climate, the visitors will rind tnree oavs amusement at the an nual county fair, along with the other attractive features of the county as a eummer resori.

(rMbltehera' Trass by Special Leased Wire.) Washington, D. C, July 10. A life time's experlenoe as a fighter of In dlans and Filipinos did not prevent Colonel Charles O. Ayres from falling Into an ambuscade today. When the colonel came out with his sensational Interview denouncing court martial aa Instruments almost solely for the gratification of superiors' spite upon those beneath them in rank, he expected and wanted to be called before a military tribunal, army officers agree. That he might be called before a med ical board Instead for examination as to his physical and mental qualifications to remain In the service very plainly never occurred to him. Believed Xa Oouid lrove Charges. Before the court martial he believed he could prove his charges. The a"- lolntment or the board or inquiry ciosea his door to him and will almost cer tainly result In his retirement for physical disabilities he says do not ex ist. Although the board's reoommendatlon for his retirement, decided on at today's session will not be made publto official ly until It is passed on by the secre tary of war, high officials of the de- fiartment are unanimous In the opinion hat the colonel will be placed unop the retired list with little loss of time. The penalty Is to be a relegation to a pension at tne prime or his ornciai lire and with prospects of Increasing honors before him. Disclaims Impaired Health. Having no civil war record, the colonel cannot leave the service at a higher grade than his present one, whloh he received a few months ago. He has a a personal letter from President Roose velt praising htm for brsvery at Ban Juan n 111 Ills, temper in time of peace haa always been ss high, however, as his valor in war and has frequently had the department In hot water before. He persists that his health Is better than most military man of his age and ridicules the military board's finding that his health is broken by Brlght's disease contracted by bis long services In the field.

May (PBblWberi- Prees by gpecUl Leued wire ) Richmond. Va., July 20. The state of Virginia is preparing to put up a fight to maintain the validity of the two-cent rate order of the state corpor ation commission, an Injunction against the enforcement or which was recently 4 I granted the railways by JudgeTrltchard of the United States circuit court. ' To this end a conference has been arrranged "for Monday m the office of 'V the governor between the executive, the attorney-general and the members of the commission, at which time the mat- - ' ter will be authority as to be the mode of procedure to uphold the laws of the t commonwealth. It ia held a very serious matter to ; deliberately violate the injunction of , tli federal court for the purpose to ' ' bring the matter to an immediate head ' ' I and to defeat the dilatory tactics of the , railways- it naa oeen suggested mat , s if no other means can be devised an extraordinary session of the legislature ' fe called for the purpose of passing a . flat two-rent rate Din ana maning regu ' i' tatlons for its proper enforcement and in thla wsy force the matter into the auitaUoa ft .Uit court eX lajt resort.' of the futility of English legislation lor ireiana. This act was announced with a great flourish of trumpets aa the solution of the Irish land question. The evicted tenants were to be restored to their farms, fair rents were to be fixed and a contented and prosperous peasantry was to be placed In possession of the soil of Ireland. Nothing of tbe kind has been done and the report of the commissioners Is a pitiable admission of failure all the more pitiable because most of the commissioners were honest ly desirous of really benefiting the agri cultural population of the cqjjntry. Were Hampered. There Is no use in Kolnr Into the reasons for failure in detail. It is suf ficient to say that the commissioners were hampered and obstructed at every turn. They were supplied with an In sufficient staff, and the landlords re fused to aid them in their efforts to re store the evicted tenants. The figures tell the story of failure. The total num ber of applications for reinstatement re ceived from evicted tenants during the four years was 8,401. Of these 7T1 were restored to their farms bv the landlords through the good offices of the commissioners. 262 were restored by tho commissioners themselves by the purchase of estates, 1,600 were passed as suitable for restoration but have not yet been restored and 2,935 applications were rejected for various reasons. No mention is made of the large balance of 2,824 cases whloh apparently have not been dealt with. The reason is proba bly that no investigation has yet been made of the claims of these applicants. and this may be explained by the Inade quacy of the staff. Patient and Crimeless. In commenting on the pitiable lot of these "waundod soldiers of the land war," starving on broKen promises, an English paper, the Dally News, says, "Nn nation but a race so patient and crimeless as the Irish would ever have lonsr endured such an existence without breaking Into active violence." From day to day and almost from hour to hour the political situation in Ireland Is changing. He would be a foolish man who would prophesy what I the final development will te. At pres ent It seems plain that the Sinn Fein policy is gaining ground rapidly and forcing Itself on the parliamentary nartv. That oartv has already adopted a large part ofthe Sinn Fein policy and the Radical Hlnn Jf emers are now can ing on the party to wlthdray from the Rrltlnh narllament at Westminster and set up an unofficial parliament in Dub lin, which snail legislate ior ireianu. One M. P. haa already Indorsed this uollcv and haa resiamed his seat and ap pealed to his constituents aa a Radical Slon Felner. He ia Mr. Dolan, who rep resents North Lei trim and he announces that if he Is returned to parliament he will stay at home. It is doubtful, how ever, if the election will be a fair test of the Sinn Fein strength. The new party has many adherents to various features of its policy and there are many earnest Sinn Feiners who accept most of the program, , but who do pot believe that the time haa come for with drawal from Westminster. The new policy Is stUl In a state of flux and growth. ancT has hardly reached the practical stage yet. Potato silent, -TJ,e, 4Prtment of agriculture 'and technical instruction announces that the potato blight has already appeared In several parts of Ireland and many dis tricts are threatened-wlth a famine. Toe season bag been cold, and wet. and Is particularly favorable to tbe develop ment oz the blight. The department l.s sending a force of experts throughout the country to instruct the farmers In the best methods of fighting it In tne light of the latest scientific knowledge. The days when the Irish schoolboy ana gin too. tramped xor miles over the mountains with a sod of turf under his arm as his contribution to the srhool flre. is recalled by a bill to provide for me neating or tne national schools in Ireland, recently Introduced in parlia ment by Captain Craig, one of the Ulster members. Captain Craig declares that things have improved very little since iiicii. no uiann a muring uiciuru of children tramping for miles in cold and rain to find a bare, white-washed sonoolroom heated only by a few sods of turf in the fireplace, and often not heated at all. This Is one of the bills which will be enthusiastically supported by all the Irish members. Nationalist and Orange alike. Parors Home Kola. Mr. Arthur Chamberlain, the chair man of Kynochs Limited, whose ex plosive factory at Arklow has been closed by the British government, al though a brother of Joseph Chamber lain, the great Liberal Unionist and Protectionist, has come out boldlv in favor of home rule for Ireland and he points the way to the Irish party in an interview wnicn I had with him a lew clays ago. "When the Irish members realize that the Industrial development of Ireland must be placed, In the forefront of their policy," he said, "there will be no more division of opinion In Ireland The busi ness men and manufacturers of Ulster win men oecome the most enthusiastic home rulers. All that is keeping them apart from the national movement now Is the fear that an Irish parliament would devote Itself to political meas- u..-o ainifu at n;ngiana, which might react apalnst Irish trade.

Ill I 10 RULE Meranberg is Fighting for Throne of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. AUTO KNIGHT LEAVES BABE BY ROADSIDE (Journal EtMdtl Service.) Paris. July 20. A strange story comes from the quaint old world town of Chlnon. A shepherd girl was sitting beside the road tending her flock. Just as they do In grand opera, when up drove, with a flourish and a blare and a fuss, a splendid automobile. To tho girl's astonishment, the car stopped Just in front of her, whereupon a well dressed gentleman stepped out with a "Jfft whlch ,he Placed In her arms, with the remark, "There, my good girl that Is for you; I am sure you deserve It." Before the girl could open her mouth or even recover from her aston ishment, the gentleman had returned to the car, which was off and burled in a cloud of dust. The shepherdess vifcuou mo iari-Bi in wonderment, and her astonishment was not decreased when she found in it a tiny baby of tender age. nlcelv clothed a.ni with envelope pinned on to Its pelisse. In the envelope were bank notes for 10 000 franca. The supply of -Havana rlnn ly approaching the vanishing point as a result Of i the Strike of dnrmilnri In ta Cuban capital. (7osnnI Special Berries.) Paris, July 20. The latest claimant to a throne is Count Meranberg, who is fighting for the sovereignty of the French-speaking grand duchy of Lux embourg, a miniature state of about 1.000 square miles, wedged In between the frontiers of France, Germany and Belgium. The reigning grand duke Is In a poor state or health, and has no male heir. Count Meranberg claims to be the last descendant or William. Prince or Or ange, who ruled in Luxembourg two ciituries ago, and afterwards became William III. of Kneland. His descent from "Dutch William" Is morganatic, but that does not trouble him. for he has discovered a clause In the old family records providing that if male Issue falls, the throne can descend in the female line. Rather Inconsistently, however, he has protested against tne proposal to give the succession to the retiring trrand duke's eldesc daughter, Princess Marie Adelaide, a gin or 13. The count s claim haa nearly resulted in a auei neiween nimseir and Baron Lyberg. the Luxenbourg minister of finance, who wrote him an Insulting letter, declaring war against him. and hinting that unpleasant things might come out about his antecedents. An enforced apology from the Baron saved the effusion of blood. Count Meranberg Is a brother of Countess Torby, the inorganic wife of that grand duke, Michael of Russia, (there Is more than one) who has for saken his fatherland for a country gentleman's life In England. THE SOAP TO FORTUNE One Boy Struck It by Making Good Job of Sweeping a Sidewalk. 'The best boy I ever hired," said the store manager, "was one I chanced to see once sweeping off a sidewalk. "You know how many boys, and many men, for that matter, sweep a sidewalk. They leave a streak of dirt here and there, make a poor Job of It generally and pay no attention to the passers by. They are slack and Indifferent and do whatever other work they have to do, you can make up your mind, in Just the same way. But this boy that I'm speaking of was making another sort of a Job of it. j "He dug Into the corners up by the ouuaing ano maae it nice and trim there, and then, working quickly, too, swept the sidewalk absolutely clean; and at the same time, as he worked, he kept his eyes open, had some thought for other people besides himself and some sense of responsibility. He was a worker and a good worker. You knew he d do whatever else he had to do in Just the same way. 'Vbout three months after that we had occasion to hire another boy. and curiously enough, as It seemed to me, that boy appeared for the Job. He didn't need any other recommendation to me than .tne work i d seen mm doing, sweeping that sidewalk, and we hired him on the spot and he's been with us ever since, advancing steadily.' "What? No, he isn't a partner yet. but he's getting on; and you can set it down as a simple fact that any boy you see making a good, square Job of sweeping off a sidewalk will do well anytblsg be undertakes i ROSS DISCHARGED MRS.
