WELSH WINNER
OF FAST FIGHT
(By United Press.)
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 3.? Freddie
Welsh, the English lightweight, had
all the better of a ten round fight
with George Memslc last night. No
decision was given, however, in ac
cordance with the law. Memslc
rushed Welsh with wild swings, but
the clever little Britisher stopped
his man time and time again with ac
curate Jabs and rocked his head with
vicious counters. Memsic took a
?real deal of punishment, and was
tired and bruised at the finish.

ALASKA MUDDLE
IN WASHINGTON
(By United Pre??.) ^
Washington. Jan. 22. ? Aiask&a*
here expect something to drop within
the next few days. The members ol
congress supporting Alaskan Judge*
Reid and Gunnison now claim that
the opposition of Governor Hoggatt is
based upon bis failure to use those
Judges to further his own political
combinations in Alaska.
The committee now here from Ju
neau, Alaska, protesting before the
senate sub-committee against the con
firmation of Judge Gunnison, are both
democrats. One is a banker, soon
to locate at Cordova, the Guggenheim
stronghold In Alaska, and tho other
members of the committee was an at
torney for the Guggenheims in the
sensational Hasev case. Both art
friends of Governor Hoggatt.
This has developed a rupture in the
committee which will """result in the
Reld and Gunnison delegation openly
supporting Wlckersham against Gov
ernor Hoggatt. *
Alaskans here freely predict that
Governor Hoggatt will In the end lose
out with the administration and the
fight now on will result In the
strengthening of Delegate Wlcker
sham.
Mrs S. C. Orchard Is still confined
to her homo with illness.

WASHINGTON.? There's a flue
bunch of linppy senatorial families
Just at present. The other day Sena
tors Gamble and KIttredge were walk
ins around the chamber ;n opposite
directions, so headed that they were
certain to pass face to face. The
cynics In the press gallery begun lay
ing bets and making pools as to
whether they would speak. The don't
end won all the coin. The two South
*
Dakotans waste few words on each
other.
Senators Cummins and Dolliver. of
Iowa, were sitting together at the
latter's desk for over three ^linutes
the next morning, and It caused a
sensation.
Division in Wisconsin.
Senators LaFollette and Stephen
son, of Wisconsin, maintain nominally
friendly relations, but it is well
known that their real sentiments are
exceedingly mild, to say the -least.
The LaFollette people used to
claim Stephenson as one of their ^
number, and the LaFollette forces are
supposed to have been responsible for
the election of Stephenson* to the'
senate. Hut the LaFollette following !
didn't support Stephenson for re- ^
election, and there has been u deep
frigidity ever since.
Fulton and Bourne at Odds.
Oregon likewise has a happy family,
of republican senators, Fulton and
Bourne are both republicans. Fulton
trains with tin* old-line senatorial
power*, while Bourne is rati-d u rank
Insurgent. N
Their relations haven't been Rood
for a long time, and recently Bourne
came out In a magazine article de
claring that It would be a disgrace lo
the Oregon legislature this winter to
clect Fulton again. On the whole,
there is : null wonder that this
twain maii:tlii just as limited rela
tions a < i>< ss'.ble.
California Discord.
There Is circumstantial report that
the two California senators. Perkins
anu f iint, are not on the best possi
ble terms, though there has been no
open breat-h ' "Mr. Flint has develop
ed a distinct tendency to stray off
with the republican independent
crowd, while Perkins is of the strict
est sect of old-style affiliation.
Then there are the two senators
from Massachusetts. Lodge and
Crane. They go through all the rao
tlons of being entirely friendly; but
everybody else Is bent on having
them oppose each other at ever^
turn.
They split on the question of
whether Massachusetts should be foi
Taft or against him. and Ixxlge came
out best man. Now it is understood
they are being urged by their respec
tive partisans to divide, each being
assured that he ought to be the main
boss of the state.
