of the troops on duty are. thinning out,
the reply was:
"The facts are that on July 31, when
the troops were ordered on duty, their
reports showed an aggregate of 619 men
In the Eighth regiment, 010 men In the
Twelfth regiment and fi7 men In the
Governor's troop. The morning reports

fib" in the Governor's troop, The Second
City troop had nil aggregute of 57 when
It reported for duty and yesterduy re
ported 58.
"From these figures you will see that
overy organization shows more men
now than It had when It came here, ex
cept one and It has only lost one man.
There have been very few discharges
and four-fifths of those discharged have
ie-enllsted. In addition to this, forty
eight men who were not members of
the National Guard when the troops
were ordered Into service have come
herefrom the home stations of the vaii
ou companies and huve enlisted."
Colonel Clement, commanding the
Twelfth regiment, suld:
"The report that three members of
my regiment were discharged for re
fusing to obey orders, declaring they
would not under any circumstances
.light the strikers, Is not true. Nothing
of the kind has occurred."

"SCIENTIST" A BUSINESS.
Philadelphia Judge Refuses Charter
on That Ground.
By Exclusive MJIre from Tlic Associated Prc.,
Philadelphia, Sept. 13. The applica
tion for a charter made by the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, was refused
tadny by Judge Arnold, In the common
pleas court. In hl.s opinion Judge Arn
old says: "The charter applied for In
this case covers n double purpose a
church and a business. We have power
to grant a charter for a church, but wo
have no authority to grant a charter
for it corporation for prollt, that Is, a
business corporation,"
Continuing, the court quotes from the
text book of Mary Baker G, Eddy In
structions to Christian Scientists to sell
and circulate the publications of Mrs.
Eddy, failure to do the same being suf
ficient cause for expulsion from mem
bership in the church.
"This shows," says the court, "that
the so-called church Is a corporation
for profit, organized to enforce the sale
of Mrs. Eddy's books by its members,
which Is a matter of business and not
of religion. As the courts have no
power to charter such u corporation,
the application for ti charter is re
fused." THE CAPITOL

KNOCKS OUT

strates That He Is No
Back Number.
KNOCK-OUT SOURED
IN THE SIXTH ROUND
The Victory Is the Result of Superior
Ring Generalship of Ryan, Which
Enabled Him to Successfully With
stand the Onslaughts of His Op
ponents Carter Proves to Be no
Light Adversary He Forced Ryan
to Fight His Best.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Prest.
Hingslde, Fort Krle, Sept. 15. Tommy
Ryan may be the veteran of the mid
dle weights In tho prize ring but he
Is still far from a buck number. To
night In the arena of the Fort Erie
club In a bruising light he knocked
out Kid Carter, of Brooklyn, in the
last minute of the sixth round. The
knockout was clean and decisive and
came chiefly as the result of the su
perior ring generalship of Ryan, ring
generalship which enabled him
throughout to successfully ovade or
withstand the heavy onslaughts of
his opponent. Sturdy nnd heavy hit
ting, proud of his endurance, full of
energy, confidence and ambition, Carter
was no mean opponent. In fact he
hustled Ryan throughout the fight,
forcing him from corner to corner with
wicked lunges which effectually dcs
troyod any effort on Ryan's part to
box prettily. Forced to fight, Ryan
finally went at the game as few can.
Ho stung and stabbed Carter until
bo had him bleeding and bewildered
and then several well placed right arm
jolts on the jaw tumbled tho husky
young felow. a bleeding mass of sense
less humanity to the rosin. Carter
fought gamely and tried hard but he
suffered about all the visible punish
ment that was noted during- the bout.
Such men as McCoy, Jack O'Brien and
others looked with amazemeiit on the
Kansas City man's work tonight.
While the bout was too short to suf
ficiently test Tommy's endurance, there
was nothing very terrifying to his
backers In the weariness he desplayed
at any time. The very nature of tho
tight put up by Carter prevented Tom
my from displaying at its best his well
known foot work but he side stepped,
lunged and plunged in tho beautiful
manner of old. When In the' fifth and
sixth rounds Carter slowed up a. bit,
Kyan jabbed him unmerclfuly. reduc
ing him to a plight where lftlie pace
continued the knockout seemed only
a question of moments.
Tho men entered the ring at 9.33. Tho
seconds for Carter xvere Bob Arm
strong and Kid McPartland. For
Ryan, Harry Feffers and Bartley, of
Blnghamton.
George Slier, the veteran Chicago
r eferee was Introduced as the official
for the main bout.
FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
Round 1 The gong called the men to
tho center of the ring at 0.37. Carter at
onco began edging Ryan into the corners.
Carter swung left twice and was blocked.
Ryan swung right hard on the car and
followed with a wicked left on tho neck.
Carter did not seem disturbed and tried
right for the bend. Ryan ducked. Carter
put heavy right over Ryan's heart and
Tommy swung both hands to the head.
Carter missed two very heavy right
swings and kept boring in. Carter put a
heavy right on the body, but in tho ex
change Ryan got to the head heavily
twice. Ryan jabbed a right to tho face
and put a right on the body. It was a
very fast first round,
Round 2 Carter came up bleeding
slightly at tho mouth from tho effect' of
Tommy's Jab. Tho kid went In with
heavy swings for the head and body, and
lie evidently hurt Ryun every time he
landed. Ryan put a right on the ribs
heavy and Carter seemed somewhat be
xvildered, but they clinched nnd fought
away. Carter put o. stinging left on the
Jaw. Tommy laughed and danced back.
There was a world of force In every blow
that Carter struck. Ryan was clearly
woirlcd. Carter put a heavy left on tho
solar p'exus and Ryan complained Unit
tho blew was low. Carter put a heavy
right to tho body. Ryan began going
wickedly fast and, swinging a heavy
right to Carter's Jaw, staggered the kid.
They finished the round ns If It was the
last minute of the bout, both swinging
hiv.vlly for the head. Ryan took his
corner tiled and Carter was groggy.
Round 3 Ryun put nil his force In a
right over thu kidneys and then sparred
awav. Carter chopped Tommy on the
jaw coming out of a clinch, Curler
forced Ryan about the ring, hitting heav
ily, but the blows were not well placed,
Ryan was tired, but using a glancing
blow from loft to the head nearly sent
Curter down, They were mixing very
savagely for n time, Ryan was weather
ing the storm the better of tho two ond
while tired smiled at Ills friends over
Carter's shoulders In the closing clinch.
Round 4 Ryan began Jabbing and play
ing for the body. Carter tore In with
heavy swings and made Ryun light. Re
peatedly Ryan ducked Just Inside blows
that would have ended tho light. Tommy
sent the kid's head buck with a left Jab
and a llttlu later slapped him twice
smartly over the eye with tho left, Ryan
began fighting In the clinch and u right
swing from Carter on the head staggered
Tummy, They bulk went ut It again
bi'.r.irner and tongs, Curter bleeding lvi.t.y
from cuts on the fuce, Just befo.-o the
close v. left to the Juw stopped Curter
for a moment.
Round 5 Carter went right Into his
man, und ulthdugh bunged up about the
luce, made the lighting. In the opening
scrlmmugo a left to the Jaw staggered
Carter. Ryun put a low left on Cutter's
body but tho claim' tif foul wus not al
lowed. They were soon mixing hotly
again. Carter's heavy smushes were
blocked or ducked, und Ryan opened up
tho out over Carter's eye, Ryan was
sU'.lil.Ing his man very fust to the face
as the round closed, but a heavy right to
the body and a left to the head worried
Ryan n lot. Both sent heavy right swings
across and Carter took his corner' very
tired ond with his face crimson with the
blood from his cuts.
Round 0 Ryan cumo up with a right
to, the stomach. Carter put a left to the
fnco nnd n right and left to the head,
Tommy used his footwork and danced
nway for u tllnio. Ryan put a heavy
right over the kidneys and Carter tore
In with heavy swings again. Carter xvai
all at sea In the next clinch nnd hung on
till the referee separated thorn. Ryan
put. a right nnd left to the head and
Carter seemed to be losing his steam.
Carter put a left on the head, but Ryan
jabbed him repeatedly In the fnce, and,
catching htm napping, floored htm with
a heavy right to the jaw. Carter got up
w h the count of nine dazed, and Ryan,
xvntchlng his opportunity, put another
heavy right on his bleeding countenance
and Ciirter fell heavily again. Onco more
he gamely struggled to his feet, but an
other hi.avy right to the Jaw sent him
flat on lit): back on the floor of the ring
and Ryan and Referee Siller assisted
the knocked out man to his feet and led
him to Ills corner.
