TTT T "V C1TTTTT TIT" A Tt Pugilist Who Was Knocked Ont by Jack Roberts at London. LONDON. April 24. 'Billy" Smith, tho American pugilist, who was knocked out In the eighth round of a contest with "Jack" Roberts, for the 125-pound championship of England, at the National Sporting Club. Monday night, and who has lain uncon scious in a hospitals since, elied to-day. Roberts, the opponent of Smith, the mana ger of the National Sporting Club, the ref eree and the seconds have surrendered to the police. Altogether six warrants havo been issued for the arrest of persons con nected with the fight, on the charge of man slaughter. Smith's death, the fourth which has re sulted from contests at the National Sport ing Club, causes much comment upon the ill luck of that institution. It is pointed out in the morning papers that since the last previous similar occurrance the club has increased the weight of gloves from four to six ounces and reduced the num ber of rounds from twenty to fifteen. Moreover, the floor of the ring was thickly padded with felt. The club, in fact, took every possible precaution. EYES ON KANSAS CITY JKFFHIES AND Itl'IILIN MAY JIKKT THERE THIS S13IMEII. Edvnrd (J. Cooke, JctTrle .Mnnager, Talks About Prize FlKhtliitf um n Sporf. Edward G. Cooke, personal representative of William A. Brady, arrived in the city last night to make arrangements for the engagement of James J. Jeffries, the cham pion heavy-weight pugilist, at the Park Theater the last half of next week. Mr. Cooke was the business representative of the arrangements for the big fight that was scheduled to take place in Cincinnati sev eral weeks ago between Jeffries and Gus Ruhlln, but which was prevented because of the Interference of the State authorities. Mr. Cooke has been in Kansas City, Mo., recently, and he said last night that mat ters are being arranged for a big athletic carnival to be held in Convention Hall In Kansas City In June, and the main bout will be between Jeffries and Ruhlln. "I spent several days in Kansas City." said Mr. Cooke last night, "and I believe a permit can be secured for a championship boxing contest to be held in that city be tv.een Jeffries and Ruhlin. Several lights have been held In Kansas City, and those who are behind the scheme believe they will be able to arrange for a great fistic carnival. The contest would simply be the postponed battle between Jeffries and Ruh lin. We are and have been looking for a suitable place to hold this contest since we were forced to abandon Cincinnati, and Kansas City is the most desirable placo that is being considered. If the scheme- Is carried out it is very probable that Jeffries will fight two big battles In Kansas City in a short time. Of e-ourse. the first con test would be with Ruhlin. but we are also looking forward to a match with either Sharkey or Fitzslmmons. Our money is always ready when any of the big men think they care to try conclusions with Jeffries. "Of course. Jeffries does not need much training, as he keens himself in good con dition all the time, but when his theatrical season closes the middle of next month he will then begin to round himself into shape for any championship contest that may be arranged. If the Kansas City scheme eloesn't materialize, we have other places in view where we may be able to hold the Jeff ries-Ruhlln contest. "Unscrupulous managers and fighters have done much recently to bring pugilism Into bad repute with the public. There is more money In the business for fighters who are on the square than for men who engage in fake contests, but the latter class kill tho sport. McGovern's coming fight In San Francisco will determine whether the sport Is dead or alive on the Pacific coast. Should there be the leat sign of a fake about the bout it Is very probable that boxing contests will be a thing of the past In that part of tho coun try, but should MeOovem prove that rt had nothing to do with Gans laying down in Chicago and put tip a fast exhibition in San Francisco the sport will be revived."

The latter's presence was desired, as the location of coaling stations in Cuba is to be made upon his recommendation. The conference was private. It is gathered that, next to the .subjects of coaling stations and the right of the United States to Intervene In Cuba in the Interests of peace and order, the Cuban at tach most Importance to the subject of sugar dutleß. The commission Is trying to secure a remission of the United States duty on Cuban sugar. It is suggested that If this cannot be done at once, then the duty may be removed gradually, reducing a percentage each year until the sugar Is duty free. The President cannot grant this request, as it involves a change in the tariff laws, and therefore application must be had to Congress. This may take the shape of direct Joint legislation by the two houses or it can be accomplished by the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty the Cubans, it is believed, prefer the latter. Tobacco is another subject which the Secretary of War will be obliged to discuss with the commissioners, and on that point he wanted advice. The Cubans want a considerable abatement. In favor of their own tobacco, of the extremely high tarifT Imposed by the Dingley act upon all im ported tobaccos. After a conference lasting for more than three hours Secretary Root and Geneial Wood left the War Department together for lunch. It was stated that there was nothing regarding the conference that could be made public. The Rat and Civilisation. Minneapolis Tribune.' The suggestion of the Japanese doctor. Nagusha, that the nations of the world unite to exterminate the rat is a good one. He asserts that this rodent Is or little value as a scavenger, and that he disseminates disease, especially the bu bonic plague. "The rat," he adds. "Is a scampering rodent filled with bacteria, and his presence In any houe should be ended as soon as the householder can attain that end." Rut the rat is such a persistent and hardy and prolific pest that he can be exterminated only by concerted action. There should be concurrent legisla tion on the subject by all the civilized States and nations. PEACE IS PANAY SOOS SURRENDER OF Qt ENTIN SALAS AND THREE OF HIS OFFICERS.

When questioned she said she came bere to bring suit against her nephew to ro cetver property belonging to her. She had no friends here and, having no place to go, w.i3 sent to headquarters. To the officers and the matrons she told a most unusual story. She said her nephew was Robert C. Tetere, whom the bad reared from infancy and that he represented a manufacture of monuments, from which he tferlved considerable income. She exhibited on both of her hands and on one arm lartr bruised spots, which she said were, with ethers on her side and hip, Inflicted by Teters about a week ago. when he beat and kicked her. She also said he had frequently done such things and that yesterday morn ing she decided to leave him and came to this city to bring suit against him.

Last night she de clined to disrobe before retiring, giving as her excuse that it was too much work o dress in the morning, an explanation which was taken by Matron Relsiur as evasive.

Ronton Chnrltr Hoard Adduces Sota In tcreatlnsT rignrra Thereon. The Rofton Board of Overseers, having charge of thnt city's relief for the poor and its rharltuble-lnstftutlons, in a report published on April 21 in the Boston Globe, has the following to ray under the captloa "The Problem of Wife Desertion:" "For many years we have remarked upon the ieplorably large numoer of deserted wives whom, with their fam ilies, the city i heipinjr In thlr homes. We atjmetlmcs wonder if the iawa of thla State In the matter of compelling up-' port by the husband and in punishing him for neglecting to support hia family are sufficiently ttrlngent. With the view of ascertaining facts which might throw light upon this problem of desertion v have. Curing the pat-t summer, made thor ough ictjiiirits into the cases of wife (Jeser- tloti actually under our care. "Our statistics relate to 13 famlllea. In each instance the wife was at om time deserted by the husband. In a few cases periodical desertions apKar to have taken place. "In general It may be Inferred from thf oata of oceupatlon that thee families belong to the rame c'.al grade from v.iilch mo.t of our dependent are recruit e.l. Of the 1IC men who.e occupation ll given. &4. or 3;'S per cent., may be cla5.e .-is unskilled workmen, which is irhap? a I'uvtr percentage than might have tn-en expected. "Of 113 women concerned (for ten caFrt no ilgun s are given or more thn one-half, were married at the age of twen- ty-tvo years or earlier, and 41, or 1'S CT per cent., at nineteen years of age or. under. Comparatively f w appear to. have ' en tcrrd matrimony after the twenty-sixth year. In M c.'.se? desertion took place be fore the wife had attained the thtrty-flfth year, and in a majority of the fame cases before she w.i.- thirty t.ir? old. "In live of the 1: familiea there were no children; the remaining US show a total of 2 7 rhl'drep., or an average of than four rer fai.My. In 13 families there were four r more children, II had six or more, and only oro ht l as many as ten. With a few exception! the children were of ten der u?f at the time of desertion. How far a desire to ecap the burden of pup-porting a. large family was an active motlv for desertion cannot be deMnltely deter mined. On thl5 point the ftatlstlcs do net permit any valid Inference."
