A slight cut under the eye of former Secretary of the Navy Meyer, and the absence of a certain amount ot skin from tbe forehead of Truxton Beale, former San Franciscan, . and brother-in-law of tbe Russian ambassador, told the story today of a fist fight In which the two indulged outside the exclusive Metropolitan-club. The affair probably' will not find its way into court, for both men are said to be sore and sorry over the affair. , It is reported that Beale invited Meyer to come "outside" after an argument in the club rooms. Friends say they "went to It at once," with a vigor that belied their ages ot more than 50 years each. There is said to have been bad blood between the two for some time past REQUEST TO "PUT ON STEAM" REARS FRUIT Washington, Jan. 25. President Wilson's request to congressional leaders to "put on steam" in order to expedite important legislation bore fruit today when chairmen spurred their committees and both houses in creased their calendars.
