LONDON, May 6—The Wells-Moran
fight at the London Opera House, in
" *'lch Bombadier Wells, the English
i
pion, added yet another to the
dramatic defeats of his carreer, has
started a storm of questioning as to
why nn able-bodied man with the mil
itary title of “Bombadier” should bo
taking part in boxing matches in
stead of being with the British army
at the front.
“We do not wish to criticise Wells,”
remarks the Daily Chronicle, “except
to say that, first, his most famous op
ponent, Carpentier, is now serving with
the colors In France, and, second, it
seems improper that he should re
tain a military title In the prize ring
when his public performance proves
that he is in a fit state to go into the
field."
Wells’ reply came back by return
mail. It was as follows: “My duty
is clear. I must stay where I am,
and I think my reasons ure good. Could
I see my way clear to go to the front
I would be the lightest hearted man in
i England. I have been in the army,
serving several years in India, and I
, secured my discharge to devote my
i self to the science of boxing, at which
; despite a half dozen defeats, I suppose
I may claim to have attained some
proficiency. During the war I have
V. ~ l a. l__i_i_i m ..a __
; funds, thereby doing the little bit
; that lay within my power.
“Two of my brothers are at the
front, and a third was the first man
killed In his regiment. I alone re
j main at home to support my wife and
| children and the other members of
j the family dependent upon me. If I
had no ties, I should be off to the
1 front without delay.”
I In this connection, several of the
newspepers have renewed the agita
tion that professional boxing be sup
presed until the end of the war. “The
only prize fight worth entering at
present,” writes one editor, "Is the
gigantic struggle in France.”
Kady Randolph Churchill, on learn
ing that a considerable number o(
women were present at the Well*
Moran fight, wrote the following
statement for the papers: “I should
hope that women had something bet
ter to do than to watch sham fight
ing at this moment.”
There Is plenty of opinion, howev
er, in favor of continuing the boxing
j matches. Eugene Corri, the referee
sums up this side of the argument In
the statement: “Boxing is a stim
ulus to the fighting spirit; nothing le
better calculated to maintain the splr
it of British pluck; boxing does nol
hinder recruiting—It rather encour
ages it.”

SEWARD, May 3—Misa Leona
Bradshaw, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
T. J. Bradshaw, passed away this
morning at 5 o'clock, having succumb
ed to tubercular peronltia, from
which she had suffered for some time
and which necessitated an operation
which was performed at Seattle by
prominent physicians, but without ef
fect,
John Giipatrick has bonded his
mines to Felix Brown, of Seattle. The
property consists of seven claims.
Dave Hathaway, the man who had
the first contract for clearing the
right of way for the railroad here,
has returned after a long absence. It
was reported some time ago that he
was dead but, as Mark Twain said,
the report was exaggerated.
The case of Joanna Seiffert vs. J.
B. Stull has been filed by Attorney L.
V. Ray, for the plaintltl. The prop
: erty involved Is two lots in block 14
which the plaintiff alleges were
bought but not delivered.
It was a wierd exhibition of the
j national pastime that was staged at j
the Bay View Park yesterday when
| Hoben’s Pets put a crimp in the chum
| pionship aspirations of Ennis's Fish
j Grabbers. The game was replete
with sensational plays, stolen bases j
and extra canvas clouts.
Horace Leach, formerly well known
resident of this city, arrived last night
on the Watson from Chitlna, where1
he has been in the hotel business.
T. W. Hawkins Is the plaintiff in
a suit tiled against Napoleon Wells
for the possession of lot 12 in block
10. L. V .Ray is for the plaintiff.
The pettiest thief »n > the United
States is now in Seward. He stole
the tar paper and laths oft the dog
house of W. A. McNeiley last night.
To do it he had to pul) out the nails.
The robbery was quite unnecessary
as the owner would probably have let
him live In the kennel If he had only
asked.
Several people have suggested that
the Gateway ought to remind the peo
ple that crowding on the wharf while
steamers are docking may result In
injury. Without at all saying any
thing about the condition of the wharf
itself, It may be brought to memory
that on several occasions accidents
have caused steamers to bump Into
| wharves and snmsh'them. Such an
accident while the wharf is crowded
might have serious consequences.

NOT BEFORE
ROME, May 6—Although next July
will mark the elapae of five years
since Porter Charlton was arrested
on the charge of murdering his wife
in Italy, the case, it is learned, will
not come to trial before nutumn. If
by then.
His counsel, Avvocato Catapano, re
cently discussing the present delay,
said:
“There are two reasons for the de
lay, the examination of the witnesses
in America, and the observations
which are being taken of the prison
er’s mental condition, at the asylum
for the Insane at Como.
“As Charlton had not the means to
bring over any of his witnesses for
the trial they all had to have their
testimony taken at home, which was
a complicated process, conducted
through the departments of Justice and
foreign affairs, both Italian and Amer
ican. If that had not been done there
would have been the probability of
his being judged at the assizes with
out one witness for the defense pres
ent.
“Instead, the testimony of the four
teen witnesses In the United 8tates
will be read, the testimony being of
great importance, given the defense
assumed, which is the total irrespons
ibility of the accused. The investi
gations cannot be closed, and there
fore be made public until the experi
ments to establish whether Charlton
is insane have been given in May.
Thus in June, or at the latest in July
the decision will be given out, so that
the trial can come on in the early
autumn.” Avvocato Catapano, how
ever, said that this was not at all
sure, as should Italy be at war the
trial would scarcely take place.
