Battling Nelson premise* to do his
test when he makes his bow to the
rrowd. The famous lightweight has
entered into this benefit with all his
pride and spirit and he has done a
whole lot toward aiding promoter Cof
froth in rounding out his program.
~BAT~ ,\ELSO\ TO BOX
Nelson will box with Kddie Dennis
and Martin Kan?, as clever a pair of
Voys as have donned th<? gloves for a
long time. It probably will be the final
jocbl appearance of Dennis, for Nelson
intend* to take the littl» Missionite
•vrtth him when he leaves for the east.
T>ennis" fame has spread so rapidly
that the New York and Philadelphia
promoters are anxious to stage him.
One Round Jack Hogau. the sensa
tional local lightweight, who has been
clamoring for a match with Nelson
and oiher top liners, will appear this
•veiling in a three round skit with
Johnny Frayne. the local boy, who has
*hown that he can "come back."
It has been whispered about that
both these boxers will challenge Nel
son from the state of the Auditorium.
Hogan issued a challenge to Nelson on
the night of the La Grave contest and
so did Frayno, but as neither recoived
recognition on that occasion, each has
resolved to try his hand again and the
chances are that the Durable Dane will
quickly accept both defies. He has
nev«r been known to back out.
OTHF. RMATCHES O.V BILL
Frayne recently returned from New
Orleans. wher«» he boxed 10 round
draws with Owen Moran and Harlem
Tommy Murphy, two of the best
known lightweights in the country.
Since then Frayne has be*?n quite a
card in tj|e boxing world. It is likely
that he will be matched again with
"jther Nelson or Moran within the
next few months.
In addition to these, stars of the
reped arena. Antone la Grave, tlie boy
from Butchertown, who made such a
\u25a0wonderful stand against Nelson less
than two weeks ago. will also appear.
The* four \u25a0wrestlers, who are to com
pete for the welter weight and light
weight amateur titles of the Pacific
coaet. have been carefully trained and
conditioned by George Mehling. the
veteran instructor of the " Olympic
club. Two very interesting contests

Two Aged Sisters Return
All the sisters and orphans of the
Mount St. Joseph's asylum gathered yes
terday to welcome into their midst
again Sifter Mary Agnes and Sister
Cecilia, the two' oldest sisters of all
who were with Sister Frances when
the orphanage was In Market street on
the. site of the Palace hotel.
These two Bisters, each "almost 90
years old, have- been staying at the
St. Francis; infant shelter in South San
Francisco" since fire destroyed the or
phanage. It is only' within the last
few days that it was decided to bring
them to the temporary home at Frank
lin «and Ellis streets. ,
Comforts have .been developing
elowly, however, and two little rooms
have -been fitted up on the* sunny side
of the house for them. So yesterday
they came-bome, beaming -with smiles
and radiant with Joy at being -In. the
heart of. affairs once more. Their lives
have been devoted for so many years to
the orphanage that their absence from
it during the excitement' of rehabilita
tion has been trying- to them.
Another blessing has come to the
home within the last day or two in the
gift from Mrs. Alexander Loughbor
ough of a beautiful piano. Music has
always "b'eeii -an* important factor lin
the - lives of the i children and its ab
sence has been a great deprivation. The
first night the piano was in the house
was* given over to merry making and
an impromptu concert, continued until
bedtime. . \u0084. ''•..';'
To counterbalance these causes for
rejoicing, however, the , plumbing has
been a real. woe. The house was. for so
long unoccupied that the plumbing. has
become sadly out of order. Although
the sisters have had to spend about
$1,000 of the money from The Call's
fund in an effort to make everything
thoroughly sanitary, one pet of burst
ing or clogged pipes* has developed
after another," and - a's fast as repairs
are made others are needed.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO SLASH TARIFF
Revision Downward Gradually
and Scientifically, Says
Champ Clark
BOWLING GREEN, Mo., Nov. 9.—
Downward revision of the. tariff at
once is the pledge made for the new
democratic house, by Champ Clark,
congressman from the ninth district,
who is a candidate for tho speaker
ship.
"The landslide is in line with, my
predictions of months ago," said Clark
today. "The people are tired of the
present administration and . are pro
voked to just the extent that the re
turns indicate with the tariff deception.
The first and greatest proposition the
democrats should stand for is a re
duction in the tariff to.a revenue basis.
I would reduce it scientifically and
gradually and put into it a sliding
scale mcuh like there was in the tariff
bill of .1863. ;

GAYNOR'S HAND UP
TO HALT STRIKE
Blamtffc One Company for Con=
tinuance and State Inter*
vention Threatened
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.— Mayor Gaynor
issued two letters tonight which prom
ise ta bring r the strike of express com
pany employes to a head tomorrow.
Briefly, he forbids the operation of
wagons by unlicensed drivers,; thus
eliminating the strike breakers. May
or Wittpenn of Jersey City has already
taken this stand and a test case Is
now in the Jersey City courts.
John \u25a0Williams, state commissioner of
labor, is due here from Albany tomor
row, and with Mayor Gaynor's action
and a threat of state- intervention it
Is" hoped , that a settlement 7 will, be
reached.
The mayor's letters are addressed to
the American express, company and
Mayor Wittpenn of, Jersey City, respec
tively.
To the company he wrote:
"The.sight of the city protecting hy
police escorts wagons driven by un
licensed drivers in violation of the
law is exciting Just .criticism."
In his other letter Gaynor said;
"At my earnest reauest the men
withdrew their demand for recognition
of\the' union and also agreed to leave
the settlement of hours and wages un
til after they had resumed .work, but
the companies refused, at the instance
of one company, or one man, to accept
it. : They rejected what is v called the
open: shop."
The "one company" is the. United
States express company and the, "one
man" is Frank H. Platt. its president.
State to Take Hand
ALBANY, N. V., Nov. -9.-r- Unless the
express companies of I New York city
show an inclination to settle the strike
of their employes, the state will in
voke'its power to effect a settlement,
according to State Labor Commlsioner
Williams, v He sent telegrams to this
effect tonight to the officials of the ex
press companies involved. *.*;\u25a0' ,

BLACKBURN CASE
TO BE PRESSED
Re=election of Indicted San
Mateo Supervisor .-Will Not
'Halt Prosecution
Arrested, indicted ar.l while charges
of corruption. still hung over his head
elected to office. Dr. Uaniel E. Black
burn, supervisor of San Jlaieo county,
will be Introduced to another of II?** «
peculiar^, phases this rooming when,
with his companions. Joseph M. Fran
cis,' Joseph Debendetti and Carl J. Co
burn, he will be arraigned In Judge.
Cabanlss' court.
Events moved rapidly and strangely
for Blackburn. "Whll* yet h© was in the
depths of sorrow produced by his ar
rest and Indictment he was suddenly
hoisted to the topmost reach of the
pole of political delight by being
elected a aupervlsor of Fan Mat'o
county. And while he found himself
perched thereon, waving both hands In
Jubilation at his aucews. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney E. A. I*ane kicked the
pole from unJer him, bringing him to
earth with a thud.
PROSECUTION* TO GO OX
.-•\u25a0> !
V/hen I.*na heard that Blackburn
had been elected a supervisor of San
Mateo county, he 1 chuckled rrlmly. •
"The election will not make an iota
of difference tn the prosecution of
Blackburn." ha declared. "That is going
to be carried to a finish."
"The present arrangements are that
Blackburn. Francis. Debendettt and Co
burn will be arraigned In Judge Ca
baniss' court Thursday morning. They
should'have been arraigned before this
time, but for some reason or other
their cases were not .marked for trial.
"Blackburn's election in Pan Mateo
county has nothing to do with the in
dictments returned in San Francisco
county, i do not care to discuss his
election except to emphasize the fact
that it. will not deter the district at
torney's office from continuing with the
prosecution."
In the face of the Indictment returned
by the grand jury the warrant charg
ing Blackburn with accepting a bribe
and on which he was arrested was dis
misseJ in Police Judge Shortall's court
yesterday.
DEXV CHARGES
Francis and Debendetti are being
represented by the law firm of Bour
dette & Bacon.

"Both of them." said Attorney Bacon,
''appeared in 'Judge Van Noatrand's
court Monday on learning that the in
dictments were returned against them
and gave $2,000 cash ball each. Both
deny the charges Debendettl has not
been a supervisor for many years and
Francis is a new man there. He is
emphatic In his declarations that he
never asked ' for nor received any
money. The indictment charges them
with a misdemeanor and,' as far as I
can understand, the accusations grow
from a letter written by Blackburn."
. At police headquarters there was a
belief that the Indictej men were to
surrender themselves there yesterday,
but having given ball in Judge Van
Xostrand's court there was no necessity
for any such action on their part.
