Canadian First Over the Line at the Close of the Fifth Day.
BOSTON, Jan. 4.— Archie. McEachern, the clever rider from Toronto, Can., led at the finish of the fifth day's riding at Park Square Garden. The finish was neither Avarm nor exciting, two of the best sprinters, McLean and Walthour, having fallen a quarter of ; a mile from the end. The only sensational incident of the day occurred just before the last hour, when Oscar Babcock stole a lap on the leaders. The only, serious fall of the day was that of Stlnson at 10:30 to-night and his mishap compelled him to have four stitches taken in a hip wound. The pac<? throughout was an improvement over yesterday. With the opening of the afternoon riding there were expectations of distance gaining sprints by some of the leaders, but while the speed was uniformly fast from the start to the supper hour, the positions remained relatively the same. The phypicial condition of the nine men was surprisingly pood. The evening racing began the fortyFixth hr>ur.' McEachern set the pace at 7:06. A little later Bibcock was permitted to lead for nearly all the first hour, at the end of which McEachern went to the front. The score was 857 miles 5 laps for the leaders. Without any warning at 10:55 Babcock cut loose and before either the crowd or riders knew what had happened he was some distance ahead of the bunch and at "the end of three laps was within ten feet of the rear guard. None of the men made serious efforts to catch the runaway. The scores at the fiftieth hour, the day's finish, were: McEachern (leading), Kaser Stinson, Downey. Fischer, McLean and Walthour all 928.5, Babcock 928.1, Muller 918.3. In the last mile McLean and Walthour fell, but neither was seriously hurt.
McEACHERN LEADS IN THE WHEEL RACE
Special Dlsratch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.— All indications are that Nevada will soon. figure prominently in a pugilistic way. Reports from Carson City, where the Legislature is now in session, show that the law legalizing prizefights will not be repealed, and that "Dan" Stuart, who is now in that city, is already making arrangements for a big' pugilistic carnival for, next spring. One of the attractions Stuart has in mind is u battle for the heavy-weight championship of the world -between the winner of -the Jeftries-Ruhlin flght and Bob Fitzsimmons. If Stuart succeeds in arranging the contest it will be decided in the ring at Carton City, in which Fitzsimmons gained the championship by defeating James J. Corbett. Lanky Bob has been quoted as sayIng that he will never fight again. Stuart, however, is confident. that he can induce Fltzsimmons to change his mind. There are also many persons who believe that Fitzsimmons' future pugilistic course will depend very largely on the result -of the issue between Jeffries and Ruhlin. They declare that If Jeffries demonstrates his superiority over the "Akron giant" Fitzsimmons' retirement Is likely to - be permanent. . . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' . .

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.— Representative a..attuck of Ohio to-day introduced in an
amended form his resolution proposing a Congressional Inquiry into the alleged abridgement of the right of suffrage. The resolution recites the right of representation is denied in many of the States to male citizens over 21 years old. In direct violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution and is an invatsion of the rights and dignity of the House of Representatives. The resolution further declares that Massachusetts, Maine. Connecticut. Delaware. California, Louisiana, Mississippi. North Carolina. South Carolina. Wyoming, Oregon and other States deny the right to vote to certain male citizens of full age, and that "such denial In certain of the said States extends to more than one-half of these, who, prior to the last apportionment of representation, were entitled to vote In such States." The resolution calls for an Investigation by a select committee of five chosen from the Census Committee and a report within twenty days with a bill "apportioning membership In the House of Representatives based on the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution."

William Moore Claims Big Gamblers Are Protected . in Seattle.
Special Disnatch to The Call.
SEATTLE. Jan. 4.— The trial of William Moore, which was commenced in the Police Court here yesterday, promises to develop sensational facts connecting the city administration — or at any rate several prominent city officials — ¦with the big gambling syndicate which practically controls the games of chance operated in this city. Moore was arrested by Police Cap-, tain "Willard and charged with operating a blackjack game in. the rear of a downtown saloon. Able counsel was engaged for the defense and the flght already shows startling developments. Among the witnesses subpenaed to testify for the defense are Mayor Humes, Chief of Police Meredith, Police Captain Wlllard and other members of the force and every member of the City Council. In addition, the proprietors of four ' of the largest gambling halls in the city are cited to appear. As described in recent dispatches to The Call, gambling In every form is permitted in the larger resorts. Not only are straight games operated, but every known device for the neecing of the unwary is tolerated. Moore claims that his arrest was at the instigation of leading gamblers, who resent any encroachment upon the field of operations they have been permitted by the city authorities to establish. The hearing has made slow progress, as every effort of the defense is concentrated to develop the fact that. a combination of big gamblers exists and is in league with certain of the city officers. This course of evidence was stubbornly fought by. the City Attorney, most of whose objections were supported by Police Judge Cann. himself a city appointee and just now seeking reappolntment from Mayor Humes. . • . vit Police Captain Willarif? was called to the stand, and while not permitted to give much testimony, he was subjected to a personal excoriation by Moore's ¦ attorney, who demanded that Wlllard, jit the arrest of Moore were in the interest of morality, should forthwith arrest every member of the gambling fraternity in the city. It was' made evident that the city officers will resist every effort to show that they are protecting the big gamblers, but Moore Is now after revenge, and while he expects to be found guilty in the Police Court, he will take the case to the higher tribunals and give the city' administration and gambling combine an airing.'

B— — ETTTEEN eplashes of bllndln? mud and an almost incessant downpour of rain, the favorite players at Oakland yesterday were almost swamped. Four first choices were mired and there was scarcely a chance to tell whether through bad rides or not- If a horse got away from the poet poorly and happened to have a timid rider on his back, the wager was lost then and there. The longest priced ¦winner of the afternoon was The Buf-. Joon, which won the fourth event at odds of 25 to 1, well ridden by Phelan. The shortest priced one to reach the ¦wire first was Fred Foster'6 crack mud lark Lennep. The Candlemas mare had Bill Garrett and Gonfalon to beat and tvent to the post T to 10. Gonfalon was sever in it. but Bill made his usual game bid for the long end of the coin. He did •well, but there was no holding Lennep when O'Connor shook her up a furlong from the stand and she won by a length. Harry Thatcher was passed about as a certain winner of the first event, until it really eeensed too good a thing. One or two books were caught out of line and laid ZT to 1 against Caesar's Young's gelding, though the market price was €. Everything turned out all rijrht. however. Mounce beat the barrier with Thatcher, ar.u In a drive at the finish led Buchanan en Foul Play, the favorite, out half n length. Orpheus, a 30 to 1 shot, ran third. After some decidedly nervcus fluctuations Alicia closed favorite over Key del Bandidos for the first mile and seventy yard telling run. O'Connor had the leg up on the mare, and in front for the last six furlongs downed Spike over a length. Bandldoe made a poor showing, failing to get any part of it. Farther down on the card was another event at the same distance with a field of eight starting. Cyril at first had the call, but ¦was. in no demand and went back to 7 to 2. T?:^n there was a play cn Mary Kinsella. making the mare equal favorite with Cyril. At the start Phelan skimmed away in the lead ajid never headed, eplashed in over a length in advance cf Sam Howard.

The public, especlaJly the. ring-going part of it. Is most anxious to- know Just what Dan Stuart Intends to do In the promotion of big fights. Well, they will keep • guessing as far as Stuart is concerned. In nonchalant fashion he promises th« best of everything. This Is much unlike him. In 1897, when Stuart arranged for the Fitzslmrr.ons-Corbett fight, he first sent out a representative. The fight talk of big Dan Stuart seems much like a veil to cover some other gam© he has up hl3 sleeve. During the brief time he was visible at the Palace Stuart was approached and asked If it were true that he had been in Nevada in the Interest of the scheme for a lottery to be legalized by State legislative franchise. This he denied, going back immediately to the fight talk and all the great men ha would bring out some time in May or June. Enough nstic giants were enumerated to nil a dozen rings with matches for half a year. There was nobody of not© quite out of it. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Jan- 4.— Jeffries and Kuhlln may fight their battle In Kansas City Convention HalL This means has been suggested as a way to raise the funds required for the finishing of the Interior decorations of the btg hall. The suggestion has met with favor and already a movement has been started which may result In the Convention Hall Company making a bid for the fight. The local authorities are being sounded as to whether there Is a law in the Stata" which prohibits prizefighting. It la thought that a permit for just one championship battle could be obtained. There has never been any great trouble in pulling off bouts here in the past The bis hall has been the scene of several fights. and only once did the police Interfere and then for political reasons. A few months ago Jack Root pat Dan Creedon out in one round before 5000 people during the week of the National Democratic Convention. Gardner and Santry founght a twenty-round draw. These affairs were on the fake order and did more to hurt the game than otherwise, but the town Is ripe for a championship battle. Something definite may be done thl3 week.
