The government is amazed and distress-

GOVERNOR FOSTER’S VIEWS
He Says Prise Fights In marsh. are Out-
lawcrl by Public Sentiment.
New Oneness, Dec. l7.—Puglliet Ia
vigne, whose blow was fatal to Bowon in
a prize fight here. is detained by the po-
lice. As soon as he can get away he will
go home and rest for" three months ~ He
will not retire from the ring, but will
then try iora match with Johnson of Min-
neapolis. Bowen's funeral took place this
morning. The grand jury will begin an
investigation today and fix the blame for
the death.
Governor Foster was seen and asked for
an expression of his opinion of the so call-
ed glove contests in the light of the tragic
outcome oi the Lavigne-Bowen fight. The
(governor expressed himseli as firmly op-
‘ posed to such exhibitions. He said: "1
have always been very positive and em-
phatic in my opposition to the glove con-
tests as carried on is New Orleans by pro—
lessional prize lighters. I regard it as a
brutal exhibition, tending to demorallze
public sentiment and in nowiso calcuhitod
to elevate the tone of public morals in the
community.
“The unfortunate termination of the
Lavlgne-Bowen contest accentuates the
importance of prohibiting any further ox-
hibitlons. A sound, healthy public senti-
ment has outlawed the exhibitions in al-
most every state in the Union. and i be-
lieve the great body 0! the people of this
state are unquestionably opposed to mak-
ing Louisiana and especially New Orleans
the scene of such brutal contests. "
A COLLIERY, HERO.

house caught fire. and the flames commu-
nicated to the fnnhouse, the dwtructlon oi
which meant death to the to miners who
were at work in the mine 500 {wt below.
Lloyd ran to the telephone and told the
foreman at the bottom of the shalt to give
the alarm.
Notwithstanding the forcnmn's haste it
was more than 20 minutes before all the
men could be gathered together at the bot.
tom of the shalt preparatory to being
hauled to the surface. In the meantime
the engine hours: was completely enveloped
by fire. Three trips were necessary before
all the men were brought to the surface.
Lloyd stuck to his post, however, and was
so badly burned that he may die.

In all respects the Week will be impor-
tant, and in many it will be decidedly son—
sstional. Nothing that will not be graphic
will be touched. It will be the last week
in which the mordcr elect, John W. Gail,
will be able to be present. Marvelous in
his resources and persistency, he will make
the closing of his relations with the fa-
mous investigation something that will
endure rmanently in remedial legisla.
tion. T 0 four days he nnlng tomorrow
will be all he will have n which to crown
the greatest Work of his life.
The testimony this week will go to the
very root of the police evil. it will lay
bare matters yet veiled, but which may
be conjectured, and will then undoubted-
ly proceed along lines in the nature of ex-
pert testimony calculated to aid the com-
mittee in framing its report and suggest-
ing legislation.
The roundsmo and the wardman, and
the heelcr have aid their days. Those of
the men whom they have served, together
with citizens who have given police sys-
tem some study. are now dawning.
Though not the first witness to becalled,
one of the most interesting will be Dr.
Parkhurst, who has signified his desire to
be called as an expert. He may. out of
compliment to his services, be the first oi
the experts who will take the stand when
Mr. Golf will have completed his work
with the department.
Superintendent Ilyrnes will also be a
witness along the same lines He has at
all times been most willing to do so. In
fact, he is anxious now. as he has been,
to aid the committee with his knowledge
and his judgment.
Police Justices to Testify.
There will also be seen on the stand
some cx-mayors of the city, and as the
military idea has to some extent been ea-
ploited oi late it is possible that Mr. God
may present to the committee some dip
tingulshed officer of the regular army to
explain how the operations and refit
tions of the war department might be ap-
plied to the police system of this city.
If anything may be judged irom the
trend of past evidence, Inspector Williams.
who has been acrmsed of cmelty, as well
as Inspector McLaughlin, will be exam—
ined ~
These men may be called to relate his—
tory and experience rather than some
thing suggesting reform. but their evi-
dence will reasonably be anticipated as in-
teaming.
More mptains will also be asked to read
mcuratoly some urges from the books of
their lives. Whether they will rufuaeto
translate the ciphers as Captain Crcodon
did at first may not be of much impor-
tance, for if they do not others may hold
the key to them. Pmlhly one more un-
fortunate woman may go upon the stand.
She has been much talked oi and much
looked for. "or appearance on the scene,
while unpleasant for some oilicials, will
not be surprising.
It would of course be incomplete if the
investigation Would end even temporarily
without some police justicm being called.
The (lullllilliiixl will probably be given an
object lesson in the men mrsonnliy and
will hear from their own lips testimony
that will be interesting. if not sensational.
Justices, for example. like Koch. Hogan
and Grady, may be ruinincd. None of
them has clamored fora vindication, but
the Inquiry would beiacking oi mmothlng

Signor Crispi's coup has caused in'
tense excitement throughout the country.
Sensational rumors of all kinds are afloat.
The Don Chelsiotte (newspaper) says that
the prime minister‘s action is the gravest
constitutional error that has been com-
mitted since the foundation or Italian
unity.
The Messaggero reports that ex-Primc
Minister illolitti and others said to be inn
pllcated in the bank scandals will be ar-
rested. The paper says that troops have
been hurriedly summoned and are already
arriving to ro-cnforce the garrison in
items.
A meeting attended by 150 Opposition
members of the chamber of deputies was
held Sunday aficroon, the Marquis dl Ru-
diul, ex-prime minister, presiding. lie
was supported by Signori Brio, Cavaileti
and Zananlclli. The meeting was conVeu-
ed for the purpose of discussing the ad-
visability of charging the Opposition mem-
bers to draw up a protest against the pro—
rogation. The Marquis di Budlni de-
clared that it was his intention to address
a protest to his constituents. The result
of the meeting is not known, but it is
stated that great indignation was express
ed because of the government‘s action,
and that the speakers insisted upon an
appeal to the country as the judge between
Signor Crispi and the Opposition.
