Ban Kranclsco. July 0. 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.'

Dublin. July 20. 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. The report of
the estates commission on the working
of the land act. which has lust been
Issued, affords a striking Illustration

Tillamook. Or., July 20 The annual
Tillamook county fair and street carnl

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

Oregon.
This Is always interesting, especially
as the aajrymen or Tillamook are re

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.

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

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

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

members. Captain Craig declares that

favor of home rule for Ireland and he

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

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
