(Pacific Coaat Prt Leased Wire.)
San Franclaco, Sept 10. A persistent
rumor is rife to the effect that a rise
in the price of coal on the Pacific coast
Is pending and it is said that those in
close touch with the market conditions
are availing themselves of the knowl
edge to prepare for the exigency, with
benent io memseivas.
Some of the leading wholesale dealers
deny in positive terms that there Is
anything in the story. Others claim
they know nothing of it and will not

Outclassed All the Way Through
In Prize Fight at San Francisco
Yesterday.
(Pact fie Coaat Praaa Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Sept 10. Joe Cans,
the victor in Monday's lightweight
fiasco, was around town today without
a mark to show that he had been in
a battle. The negro marvel spent the
morning preparing for his trip to Los
Angeles, where he goes on Thursday to
begin training for his fight with Jimmy
Burns.
Britt remained in seclusion this morn
ing nursing the wrist that he claims
was broken. Britt still refuses to per
mit disinterested physicians to examine
the alleged injury, claiming that to re-
. k. - .I..,., abb In In whlnh tK.
hand was hurriedly placed, might result
In serious consequences.
Here are the statements of victor and
vanquished:
(By Joe Gans.)
Of course I had Britt outclassed all
the way through. I am sorry he hurt
his hand, for I would htve preferred not
to have the fight end the way It did.
Britt didn't hit me a blow that hurt to
any extent Even that time he hit me
on the jaw with his left, it didn't hurt
me. I could have finished him quicker
than I did. If he had kept at me, aa
I had been led to believe he would do.
But I had to keep after him all the time,
and that made It a longer fight There
Is nothing to say.
I guess I demonstrated that I am
the same old Gans and can punch Just
as hard. I will leave Thursday for Los
Angeles, where I will fight Jimmy
Burns. Will I fight Nelson? That all
depends.
(By Jimmy Britt)
Gans didn't do me any damage. My
hand went back on me, and what was
the use of being killed? It was Injured
In the fourth round, and after that It
was of no use to me. That was the
reason I kept backing about In the ring.
All I want Is another chance at Gans. j
I can beat him. I don't want a cent or ,
money if I don't lick him. A fight under
ny conaiiionn 10 wnai m wiu nu
soon
as this hand Is so that I can use
it, I will be after-fclm. There wasn't
any quitting in me. Tney wouian t let
me go on, and I suppose that waa Hhe
best. I will be all right In a short
time and then I will surprise the people.

tion Located at Tien "Tain . to
Treat Subjects.
It has remained for a Portland young
man and his father, Roy Burton and
Dr. B. T. Burton, to discover a euro
for tha opium evil and be selected by
the Chinese government to direct the
extermination of tha curs from tha
flowery kingdom. The arrival of Mrs.
B. T. Burton and her daughter, Miss
Gladys, from their home in San
Cisco for a visit with tha sister of Dr.
Burton, Mrs. M. E. Hawley, at her rest
uence, S4 iourtn street, brings atten
tion to the work being done by Dr. Bur
ton and his son.
The Chinese government has taken
steps to eradicate the opium habit ana
an imperial decree against tne use or
the drug has been Issued. At the same
time a sanatorium has been opened at
Tien Tsln for the treatment of slaves
to the drug.-
Dr. Burton saiiea rrom Ban rancisco
a few days ago to take active charge
of the institution in association with
his son snd Into the hands of the two
Americans will be given the task of
fighting the curse of the Chinese empire.
The story of how the discovery of the
new remedy was made is an interesting
one. The son, Koy Burton, who waa
formerly well known in Portland, was
a student at . the Oakland Medical
uhooL but au4t befara e-omnleUns - his
course and went to China as an attache
at one of the American legations. Here
he noted the great havoc being wrought
by the opium curse and began Inde
pendent investigations in searcn tor a
cure. He at laat round what He thought
was a cure and outlined It to his father
In San Francisco, who is noted as an
expert in nervous diseases.
As a result of this study a cure, re
