Clark was arrested at hiB home n
k and brought to the county Jail. When ti
; k seen in jail this morning by a News e,
representative and asked about the q,
" difficulty he staled, that Peel had
passed him on the road early this p
morning about five o'clock. That he a|
spoke to Peel and Peel replied with
an oath and advanced towards him
with an open knife and that in order 8|
to defend himself he struck him with w
the shovel. Says that Peel is fussy tj.
and that several dayB ago he and r(
some boys were on the road they a,
accosted Peel. ai
Peel on that occasion cursed him ti
and told him what he might depend h(
upon. Clark is a young negro and m
seems to be not the average in in- jn
telligence. No operation as yet hfes nj
been performed upon Peel as Dr.
Brown, the county pliysician, thinks 8r
that just at this stage it would be w
unwiBe. Peel Is now sitting up end p
talking with intelligence. His con- ^
dition as we go to press is thought dl
to be more favorable for recovery. a]

LAS VEGAS. N. M., July 5.?The
ack Johnson-Jim Flynn 45 round
ght for the heavyweight championtxlp
was brought to a close in the
inth round yesterday by the state
ollce.
Capt. Fornoff, of the State force,
ersonal representative at the ringids
of Governor McDonald, declared
Ixat it was no longer a boxing con?st;
that it was a brutual exhibition
ad that Flynn's foul tactics made ita
antinuance impossible. He jumpbd
lto the ring with his deputies and
rove the fighters and officials who
illowed him to the corners. Refroe
>. W. Smith then announced that
ohnson had won and the fight was
ver.
Flynn displayed no ability through
ut the fight. He was cut about the
ice until blood ran down hie breast
i a stream. He was utterly help^
'as from the first round on and by
le sixtji was deliberately trying to
utt the champion's chin with his
ead. Time after time aa Johnson
eld him powerless in the flinches,
lynn jerked his head upward.
'Smith warned him repeatedly, but
: did no good. In the seventh he
egan leaping upward every time he
yuld work his head under Johnson's

"The ? nigger's holding me," i
lynn roared back. "He's holding me
11 the tfmo. He's heading me like t

e Bhouted at Flynn but changed his i
ind for it happened again and again i
i that round and repeatedly in the
Inth before the police took a hand.
Through it all the champion was I
oiling. He evaded Flynn's attacks '
ith the utmost ease, whether the
ueblo man led with his hands or his
end. Only once in the nine rounds
Id he show any wish to end the flght
id yet ringside opinion was unani- 1
ous that he could have put Jj*lynn <

i|4.100 BEDS
PROVIDED FOR
coNsynnivES
Special to the Dally News.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 5.?
Nearly 4,000 additional hospital
beds for consumptives in 29
6tates were provided during the year
ending June 1st according to a statement
issued today from the records
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
This makes a total of over 30,000
beds, but only about one for
every ten indigent tuberculosis putients
in this country.
In the last live years, the hospital
provision for consupniptlves has increased
from 14,4 28 in 1907 to over
30,000 In 1912, or over 100 per cent
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having 8,350 on June 1st;
Massachusetts como next with 2.800
and Pennsylvania, a close thi
2,700. Alabama showed the i \
percentage of increase in tlagj?***1
year by adding 57 new beds twits'42
a year ago. Georgia comes next with
109 beds added to 40 a vear ago. New
York has the greatest numerical increase.
having provided over 1,800
additional beds in the year.
Only four states. Mississippi, Nevada.
Utah and Wyoming have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards ror consumptives. Eight years
ago. when the National Association
was organized, there were 26 states
in which no hospital or sanatorium
provision for consumptives existed,
and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10,000.
"While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in antituberculosis
activity." says Dr. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary
of the National Association, in oom
anentlng on this subject, "There are
Btlll practically ten indigent consumptives
for every one of the 30.000 beds
Including those for pay patients. In
Other words, we have from 250.000
I /to 300.000 consumptives in this country
too poor to provide hospital care
for themselves. If tuberculosis is
ever going to be stamped out in the
United States, more hospital provisions
for these foci of Infection must
be provided."

WASHINGTON. D. (*.. July 3.-?
Naturally, the all-absorbing topic In
Washington this week is the Baltimore
convention. Everybody was dis
appointed when adjournment was
taken Saturday without any decision
having been reached, and sucewRling
day* has deepened the nervou/ interest
expressed alike by ReyGblicans
'and Democrats. Howevei^wp opinion
.seems to be that although the
Democrats have fallen out in Convention,
they will somehow patch tip
a truce before the election comes

' ive already conXtrl^d
with the avowed intention "of
I working together harmoniously. The
disposition, co unusual in that partlcj
ular locality, would seem to be a
happy augury.
Congress will resume this week
the work which has been waiting for
attention during the two conventions.
After the large appropriation bills,
the first business of importance will
be the impeachment proceedings of
Judge Robert \V. Archbold, of the
Commerce Court, which will contitiue
several days and delay until the next
week the final report of the Stanley
steel trust investigating committee.
Both the House and Senate have a
good ?leal of work to finish before
they can adjourn. The army appropriation
bill, which was vetoed by
President Taft because of legislative
riders including a provision making
Major General Leonard Wood ineligible
for re-appointment as chief of
staff, will have to be re-enacted. The
legislative bill, which contains the
provision abolishing the Commerce
Court is llkel.l' to provoke considerjablo
debate. So that, taken all in nil.
Congress seems likely to he in Washington
most of the summer.

1 for the beginning of fhe fiscal year
and in spite of a Federal statute
| making officials liabie to removal
| from office and prescribing fines and ilH
i imprisonment for accepting voluntary
service for the Government In
[ excess of that authorized by law, the |
government officials concluded that I
such a coutigeucy as the present one
they would be justified in keeping
the work right on over the first of
July, since a tie-up would result in
great iucouvenfence and delay farreaching
and disastrous in its con- .
sequences. Great uneasiness was felt
among the clerks last week but this
was allied by the assurance of Kep- I
rcsentative Fitzgerald that provision I
would be made. Monday, Congress |
parsed resolution to extend the 1911
appropriations for another month,
during which the bills for the present
fiscal year can be considered.
This is the second time in the history
of the Government that the
great supply bills have failed to pass
I Lit time to be available for the coming
year.
In anticipation of being disbanded,
offiecer* of the Tariff board called
upon the President and bade him
farewell Saturday. Now. however, it
seems probable that it will be continued
until the new appropriation
bill is passed.
The term of Judge William DeLacy
of the Juvenile t'ourt has just
