CHICAGO, Ill. Special. Over seven hundred people visited Mr. Glenwood on Decoration day. The day was an ideal one.

Jordan Musselman, minister, schoolmaster, and emperor. Sweet is the memory of a man who accomplishes things. Dr. Chavis established a church while in Jordan and when he left the island, the church was in a most prosperous condition. What greater honor could come to a man than being a man, a man who worked to Christianize man propagate the idea of the fatherhood of God and the man, given him a devout and honored man among the closest spirits of mankind. Jackson Gordon, one of Chicago's finest architects, gave him the Silent Halls of Death and there are hundreds of others who have joined the immortal caravan which moves to that city. There are hundreds of many of the Civil and Spanish war veterans are resting here. Peace to their Our Soldiers: The Eighth at Cuba. The history of the Spanish-American War is fresh in the memory of each. We are strong said, 'Send me, send me!'

The gallant Eighth Division only colored National Guard in the world, said; 'Send me, send me!'

We mourn today with the widows of the heroic dead. We shall strew flowers in memory of our loved ones on the graves monuments and there. Death is no cruel monster and there. Death is no cruel monster and there. The lowly Nazarenus that you make peace with Him, we pass from a life of sorrow to one of eternal joy and happiness. The Future. Let us hope that the vocation of the soldier and the opportunity of military service will rapidly disappear with the extension and progress of civilization, the development of the nation, and the distinguished service of peace. The torch of liberty and progress handed by the military chiefsfains of the past must be taken into account in the stern realities of industrial and civic pursuits. From the regal brow of war, the crown is soon to be smatched forever, to the great empires of the ages of citizens of peace. Let us seize the opportunities of the present, that the future may confer its just reward upon those who in turn must take up the glorious task, and we shall be called upon to lay it down." "The muffled drums and call has beat the No more on life's parade shall meet that No more on life's parade shall meet that On fame's eternal camping ground, their silent tents are spread, Old Glory guards with solemn round the square.

Too Much to Expect. Amid philosophies that try, With dreamy colors loves fraught, Perhaps it might be well to try A simple, unpretentious thought, So here a line for joyous youth we, as mankind's toilete prince, Remember, this truly prince, You can't be lucky all the time. The wheels of fate as they go round Must turn for loss as well as gain. Some blame as well as praise must sound And great reforms prove of in vain. And so, when wearying in the strife, We brave and play the game of life; You can't be lucky all the time. And the plot thickens This is a day of strikes. Are the "times out of joint?" As yet no Negro artist has adopted the "cubist" fad. Mme. Anita Patti Brown is easily America's greatest coloratura soprano. The entire race suffers when its great men fall out and fight over trivialities. The managers of the semi-centennial exposition have confounded their enemies. The newspaper man would pay his bills if you would pay him the bill you owe him. The National Negro Press Association will have a big meeting at Philadelphia in August. We generally suspect our "arch enemy" of being responsible for all untoward happenings. Kelly Miller would make Fisk Uni- versity a mighty fine president. Why not give him a trial? "Color-line diplomacy is even more difficult to manage than dollar diplomacy," says the Washington Star. Dr. Booker T. Washington is saying a little about a great many things he is thinking about. Just wait! The commencement season is on. The graduates, who have the goods will be able to cash them in—that is, we hope. The Knights and Lads of Malachites of the World is a new order that threatens to revolutionize things in the fraternal arena. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to deliver Fisk University's commencement oration. June 11 will be the worthy of the man and the occasion. There is a general agreement that President Obama would make an ideal minister to Liberia. There is no "politics" in saying so. Harry T. Burleigh "secured" as a soloist at the funeral of J. Fierpont Morgan. The race took a step forward in the world of music. The fourteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League at Philadelphia, August 20, 21 and 22 will be recorded. The influential Negroes in every community should lend their aid to the propaganda to have Negro spelled in the white dallies with a capital "N." Major R. R. Jackson, of Illinois, wins his seat in the state legislature on a ballot. He is the race's most substantial members and all rejoice in his well-earned success. Managing Editor F. Z. S. Peregrino has our sincere thanks for a copy of the South African Spectator, a sprightly newspaper published in the interest of the Negro people at Cape Town, South Africa. Register Napier is "after" the mat who was elected to the position who insisted upon being paid to perform what ought to be a patriotic duty. Mr. Napier is always right and never hesitates to tell the plain truth when the good of the race is taken. The Y. M. A. movement shows a beautiful growth everywhere, Washington, Chicago and Indianapolis have $100,000 homes. Others are striving to reach the same mark, thanks to the generosity of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago's merchant-pilgrim hospice. Senator John O. Clarke of California, and William Z. Chandler of New Hampshire, declare that the Fifteenth Amendment should be enforced to the letter. Law is law, and the full power of the Constitution should bring to bear in demonstrating that a statute means what it says. The receipt of "The National Negro Almanac and Year Book for 1913-14," published by the Overseas Yankees, Chicago, IL, is acknowledged with thanks. It contains many facts of general and racial interest, as well as a comprehensively written account of the work of the company that issues it. Mr. Anthony Overton, president of the company, delivered one of the most interesting presentations of the National Negro Business League August. The National Benefit Association at Washington, D. C., operating in six states, owning property valued at $290,000, acquiring a building, and doing a fine-appointed work for the public uplift of the race. It began business fourteen years ago in a $6 per month back room. The association now owns a building, seven fine-appointed rooms, and is valued at $25,000. After using much of the assets, the association expects $1,800 per annum from its tenants. Isn't that "going some?" GLIMPSES OF SANTE FE, ISLE OF PINES, CUBA. A philanthropic Chicagoan recently said to the writer: "My wife and I, observing the harmonious conditions exerted by people in Cuba and sorrowfully noting that the colored man is losing out, industrially, in the United States, have taged to the progressive but badgered Negro farmer of Georgia and the other southern states. We believe when the colored man is working on an million dollars worth hogs, eggs, onions, potatoes, cabbage and watermelons at war prices from the United States every year, he will go there and raise those edibles and find I agreed with Dr. M. — the speaker, and wished for his presence at the meeting of the farmers and their wives at Pines, on the 22nd inst. when I saw thirty well-to-do and successful Afro-American farmers and their wives from Nueva Geraea, Genoa and the island of Sicily, come to the door in their automobiles to witness the burlesque minstrel performance, arranged by Mr. and Mrs. John B. McCormick, and ordered M. E. church at Santa Fe. Forty odd automobiles around the city, some with them wore inside. Santa Fe's leading lady, Mrs. Wagstaff (Chicago), gave a good-bye dinner and box party to twenty-five of the automobiles. The rector of the Episcopal church and the other members of society followed him to the hands of two admittedly renalied Negroes to follow him. and "Carrie" didn't disappoint their friends but they surprised their acquaintance with the hands of two unattended individuals in this breee-sweet town never dreamed of the pent-up dramatic ability possessed by these two unattended individuals which greeted the Clairs upon their appearance marked the measure of individuals but the repeated ovations given them as performers proves that they will henceforth be respected dually, and that Santa Fe has had but as long as the "This is the first affair the kind Chairs own land here we will have, Chairs own land here we will have, Chairs own land here we will have." PROFITABLE DISTRICT CONFER ENCE IN COLORADO. The third session of " of the "Rocky Mountain" District Conference was held in Boulder, Colo., May 21-23. This body was composed of the district convention and the Alpine Endeavor League convention were held.

On Tuesday evening, following the day's work, an informal but very delightful reception was tendered the ministers and delegates. Throughout the sessions the work was both pleasant and profitable. Many excellent papers, covering a wide scope of the problems confronting the Sunday school was indeed interesting and made by Mrs. Fannie Brown of Denver, convinced the Sunday school people of the unbounded possibilities of the primary department, perhaps, as nothing There were thirteen charges reporting, with the pastor and several delegates from each charge. Aside from the charges, there was a delegation from Cherenne, Wyoming. Boulder, that beautiful valley town lying in the shadow of majestic mountains, the home of the state university at Boulder, the ideal place for the convention. The best water in the state is to be had here, and the rich scenery with its surreal landscapes and delightful itsitors. A special car, donated by the Boulder Traction Company, conveys the entire delegation to all points of interaction with which they attended the meeting. The manner in which the delegates took hold of their work and the faithfulness with which they attended the meeting is the people of Boulder made every provision for the comfort of their guests.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Poet Riley had a high time in Anderson, Ind., this week. His path was strewn with flowers. More than likely when they are through contesting Mr. Bell's nomination for mayor he will be the nominee on the Democratic ticket. Pretty difficult thing to beat an editor. Mr. Roosevelt did the thing and as it was generally expected. In the first place the charge of excessive drinking was a bit too serious and ugly to put against an ex-President. The colored citizens of Baltimore are up in arms again fighting the second attempt at segregation. Harry Cummings, the colored member of the council, is making a splendid effort to beat back the discriminating measures. Evidently they are not on to the importance of S. C. Green's job in some sections of the South. One publication had it that, "He is said to be a representative of some colored secret order." "Lahd hep de white folk to get right." The XVII Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been proclaimed by Secretary Bryan. It declares for the popular election of senators. A colored politician of this city said that it was a good thing since it meant more business for his line of politicians. He has a rather narrow view of the situation. Cincinnati, O., is also making for a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for the colored people. Julius Rosenwald gives $25,000; Mrs. Thos. J. Emery, of that city, also gives $25,000; the board of directors of the Central Association gives $35,000, leaving $15,000 to be raised by the colored people. Oh, yes, the colored people of this country have got a pretty good thing. Speaking of his suit against the Marquette, Mich., editor, the ex-President said: "It was not pecuniary gain that I sought. It was the rumors and reports, without foundation and sweeping over the entire length and breadth of the country, that I wished to stop. Ephemeral in character, and almost impossible to trace to any original source, these reports have been circulated in every State in this Union. Of course, the facts presented in the trial at Marquette have been widely reported in the daily press, and I do not care to discuss them now, but it is my duty to inform you that I has served to hush forever these whispers—so vague in character as to make it difficult to effect a sweeping denial of them, yet having a sinister effect wherever they were repeated. Consequently the outcome of this suit is very gratifying to me. I have been able to present the real facts, and, to me, that is the most important thing." THE COLONEL WON Colonel Roosevelt beat his man "He always does"—nearly always. He proved to the satisfaction of judge and jury that he was not a drinking man in the accepted sense. The damage was only six cents. But the Colonel was more about money; he has a sufficiency. He wanted vindication, and he got it.

STILL AFTER OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT. R. W. Thompson, the well-known newspaper correspondent of Washington, D. C., wishes it to be known that there is nothing in the foolish talk about his "demotion and transfer," spoken of by Editor Calvin W. Chase, of the Bee, of that city. Mr. Thompson says: "I have voluntarily made a change, taking a position that offers larger opportunities for promotion than one previously occupied. That is all there is to it." It is so strange that some so-called big colored men find pleasure in hunting up the truly capable men of the race, making it their business to hold them up to ridicule at every opportunity. The so-called big men take delight in calling the objects of their wrath little men, insignificant men, and the rest of the bemeaning epl thets. They insist that they hold the little places in life, and so forth, and with such ghoulish glee that they add to the already large stock of Negro discouragement. Mr. Thompson is our leading news paper correspondent, and, as such, serves Mr. Chase's highest regard. If takes vastly more education, a broad education or more training than any other, he Who but half succeeds is still beyond the average of learned men. Mr. Thompson is succeeding. We are very much afraid that Mr. Chase cannot calculate his value. JAPANESE AND THE NEGROES. A big meeting of Japanese was recently held in Tokyo, Japan, as a demonstration against the spirit of hostility recently displayed toward them in this country. The meeting was made up largely of students, who took occasion to denounce the existence of color prejudice as exhibited against the Negroes in the United States. Of course, it will be understood that the Japanese are not greatly in love with our race. Nor do we mean to say that they entertain special anti-racism feelings, are of the opposite nature that we do, and today those people would not dream of drawing lines on any people that are anyway similar to themselves in the way of civilization, enlightenment. The Japanese, in their own country, it is said, have regulations of some kind against all foreigners. Just how stringent these are or how far-reaching, we are unable to say. We are satisfied, however, that they are general, and meant to preserve that country from the "land-grabbing" foreigner. The fact of these regulations gave California its best moral right to take its anti-Japanese step, one will think. However, we have no general anti-foreign policy, consequently measures like those enacted by California require counter to the Japanese, the American and conservative conceive it to be. They are bad in precedent, even if no hardship has been entailed on the Japanese. Race proscriptive measures do not sound good to Negroes, and for reasons known. The Japanese spirit of sympathy shown doubtless is appreciated by the Negroes. But at that, we will not forget that what we are in this country came by the way of these people among whom we live. The most that we may say, truthfully, against them is that they do not care to have us mixing up with them. When that is said all is said. It’s plenty, since at times it means great inconvenience. But it could be much worse. Employment could be denied. The opportunity for education could be denied, that greatest boon to mankind. Opportunity, be it the own and be masters, clerks, banker, merchants, could be denied. We want Japanese sympathy, but we do not want to be inflamed. We’ve got a pretty good thing, if we only knew it. It’s natural and right to hope and struggle for all. We chafe ‘neath the goods we know, yet we should rejoice because of the weights we have flung aside. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO GREEN. The Pensacola Journal, of Pensacola, Fla., gives the following account of what happened to S. C. Green, supreme chancellor of the Nogro lodges of K. of P.: "Taken from the Negro toilet room by a crowd numbering about seventy-five, who met the train at Milton, and saved from rough treatment, if nothing worse, through the prompt action of Sheriff Harvell, of Santa Rosa county, was the experience of a well-dressed Negro, who, disliking to occupy a day coach with his own race, purchased a Pullman ticket at Jacksonville for New Orleans, yesterday morning, and started for a ride over the river, division. He is now in jail at Milton, where he was placed for safe keeping, and possibly spent an uncomfortable night. "Passengers reaching the city last night at 10 o'clock told of the occurrence. The Negro enjoyed his ride in the Pullman, it seems, until after he had passed Tallahassee. Then word got out that he was aboard and at each succeeding station larger crowds would meet the train. This at first excited the curiosity of the Negro, but before the train reached Chipley he decided that more comfortable seats could be found in the colored coach. The desire to mingle with those of his own race possibly was brought about by some one whispering something to him, for when a crowd at Chipley entered the Pullman the Negro could not be found. Another crowd had gathered at DeFunik, but it, too, was disappointed. Milton and Bagdad learned of the occurrence, and they proposed to find the Negro, so, when the train reached there, they instituted a search. The Negro was found in the toilet, but the conductor and flagman refused to allow the crowd, which numbered about seventy-five, to enter. Before the train could leave the station, some one on the outside began raising the window of the toilet, and the Negro, taking fright, opened the door and dashed out. "He was seized, but Sheriff Harvel, who had suspicion something was going wrong, was in the crowd, and he immediately took the frightened Negro into custody and kept the crowd off. The man was placed in the county jail for safe keeping, and was safe this morning at 2 o'clock. "The Negro is the same one who passed through Pensacola in a Pullman car about ten days ago, en route to Jacksonville. Then he only occupied a berth, but on the return trip he had a drawing room. He is said to be the representative of some colored secret order." We made our "post-mortem" speech last week on the happening. We see no reason to change our views because Mr. Green is still in the flesh. Special laws are not right laws; they are proscriptive, but they prevail. In the meanwhile we must concede that all of the race is not as Mr. Green, who is prepared to take advantage of the best offerings by way of accommodations. To buck the law and sentiment is a very tough occupation. What happened to Mr. Green is one of the incidents making for the racial situation as it obtains to-day. We can see no reason to fight the enemy, he must fight to the upstreme Court of the United States. He would find his progress most effectually blocked in that direction. If he would assault the gates of opposition it would be best that he begin at the point of the least resistance. SPEAKS HIGHLY OF MR. KERN. No well-thinking citizen could have viewed the stand recently taken by Senator John W. Kern before that honorable man stood light than a clean fight for right and justice. Not since the adoption of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States has a man with noble and fearless stand taken for human rights. It is safe to say that in this struggle THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Mr. Kern had to "tread the wine press alone," for his own party deserved him, and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution stood afar and off refused to commit themselves to the record, in that, by common consent, Kern's resolution was a viva la viva fight. Mr. Kern was neither Democrat, Republican, Socialist nor Progressive, but he human rights. He has not only delivered the miners of West Virginia from the shackles of peonies, but he has also negroed Negro's salvation throughout the South and every member of that downtrodden race should hold his name sacred to their souls. Mr. Kern confined to the West Virginia miners, but its effect will be farreaching. Indianapolis JOHN BROWDER -In the Star of Indianapolis IN OLD PADUKE. Big Home Coming Celebration—Heavy Rain Storm Accompanied with Hail Strikes the Indian Town—U. B. F.'s Home Services—Bishop C. H. Phillips Here. (By J. J. Amos, 1063 North 7th St.) PADUCHA, KY—Paducah saw more people, homecomers, concessionists, business men and signers during "homecoming," and the parish that Paducah derived its name from a chief of the Chickasaw Indian tribe, who was styled "Big Chief Paducah."

In this cabin there was a spindle wheel and a spindle old; a spinning wheel and tobacco. Around the cabin door sat Mr. Louis Thomas quarter statue St. Louis Luther King, former Loretta Thomas, which sang that never died song, "My Old Kentucky Home." While passing the corner the multitude of homecomers joined the crowd, many heard many blocks away. This float was driven by six oxen. "Paducah" after hearing Mayor Thomas Hazelippe said, speak and pass, passed since he landed and dwelt on this soil, and it may be a long time before he returns, but observing the improved conditions in the town, and having this Kenny space, he stands on the patio face continuous prosperity.

JOHNSON DRAWS YEAR IN PRISON AND $1,000 FINE Negro Heavyweight Champion Is Des- nied New York Case Under White Slave CHICAGO, June 4.—Jack Johnson, the Negro heavyweight champion, today was sentenced to five years in State Penitentiary at Joliet and fined in the sum of $1,000 for violation of the Marriage Act. Sentence was pronounced on Johnson after Federal Judge Carpenter had denied a motion for a new trial by county court. The judge objection last week's time in which to prepare a writ of error and the bond for $30,000 on which he has been at liberty since his convictory. Expected Resistance. Half a dozen deputy United States marshals, who had grouped themselves about Johnson in anticipation of resistance as he entered the room when Judge Carpenter announced that the fighter could continue temporarily. "The sentence to the State Penitentiary is the result of a recent order from Washington that all persons convicted of a crime in this district should be sent to the State Prison, owing to the crowded condition of the Federal Penitentiary. Johnson left the court room, declaring he would not give up his fight for liberty, and that if the writ of error were denied he would be sent to the court. Action Was Surprise. The arguments for a new trial came up as a surprise late this afternoon. The case had not been set previously, and that if the writ of error were denied appearance in court of Johnson and his lawyer, he has been hard to determine what punishment should be meted out in this case," said Judge Carpenter in passing sentence. "We have had many cases where the defendant had been punished with a fine only. We have had other cases where defendants have been sentenced to one or two years in the prison." "The circumstances in this case have been aggravating. The life of the defender's own admissions, has not been a moral failure." Sets Bad Example. "The defendant is one of the best-known men of face, and his example "The sentence shall be that the defendant shall be confined a year and a day in the Joliet Penitentiary and that he shall be denied a request of counsel. The court denied a request of counsel for Johnson that the Negro be allowed to serve the term in the city Bridwell Institution and that Johnson was convicted May 10 of having-paid for the transportation of Belle Schreiber from Pittsburgh to Chicago. THE CHICAGO UNION GIANTS DIT TO—WENT DOWN JUST LIKE THEIR BIG BROTHERS. A. B. C.'c of Indianapolis Did the Harpooning. The Chicago team has had bad luck Both o' the them fell to the Indianapolis A B. C. I's. About two weeks are the well- known days of the game, but the saw, but did not comer, Monday of this week the Chicago Union Giants came, saw, and also did not conquer the pesky A. Kansas City Chiefs. The Chicago fellows are splendid lookers; not so heavy as Rube's famous aggregation, but considerably heavier than his. It was a good ball, steady, cool, and for a time it appeared as if they were not to be beaten. Their pitcher, Joe Piscifetti, had that fatal sixth inning. The A. B. C.'s pounded out three good ones—one and two good balls, and one and two good ones in the Giants called him off, putting in McNeil. Walker had pitched fine ball up until this inning; no scoring on him, and he was not a help matters by changing to McNeil. He pitched one inning during which Davis put a ball in the lake, making a home run, and then a home run, ghost, retiring to his position in center field. Walker was called back. Manager Abrams, of the A. B. C.'s, announced that he would not give up a good ball, but could not overcome the lead off he A. B. C.'s. Well Batteries—Chicago Union Giants, Walker and Coleman. Oiler pitched one hit in Chicago. Chicago Union Giants lineup: McNeil, center field; Brockman, third base; Coleman, second base; Lewis, shortstop; Alexander, left field; Wright, first base; Pitch, C's lineup; Cooper, first base; Davis, left field; Seldon, shortstop; Allen, third base; Higbsy, center field; Francis, third base; Right field; Cornett, catcher, pitch plight. Notes. Coleman, catcher for the Giants, was pretty smooth. Was catching like Petway until the fatal sixth, when his whole team got rattles. * Francis made the first hit off Walker, up until the sixth—a single. * Benny Lyons was absent, owing to the death of a relative. * Todd and his men played great ball. The Giants held several conferences, but the A. B. C.'s kept piling up the score. * The A. B. C.'s play the Cuban Storm, one of the fastest teams in the country, on Tuesday, June 10. * Two Games Tomorrow. The A. B. C's Juniors will play the Black Sox. The A. B.

The pastor of local church entered the ring and, after saying there was nothing brutal in the preliminaries, asked the great assembling blage to think that they were daily an agged in a similar fight in life. The preacher said he did not disapprove of (By Billy Lewis.) That Luther McCarty, champion of the white fighters, met his death at Calgary, Alberta Canada. He was 88. Arthur Peky, is generally the object here will be to quote from various sources a detailed account of the happening and also the comment bearing on it. No effort will be made to give an account of the event that the information is as reliable as information goes. For fear that some of the Freeman readers may not know Luther McCarty is, it is best that I call attention to the facts that The white heavyweight champion won that title in what is known as the elimination contests. These were between the two players, and the two such men as Carl Morris, Al Palzer and Jim Flynn. McCarty succeeded in beating all the would-be champions in the last few months ago. This elimination game was meant to rid the fighting game of Jack Johnson, as was the Los Angeles made for the importance of McCarty, since it gave him the distinction sought, and also made him a sort of pretender to Johnson's title. . . . CALGARY, Alberta, Canada. — A dislated neck caused the death of Lutheen McCarty during his fight with Arthur Pelley. The result of the autopsy made it seem likely that the firstblow inked in the neck was caused by a knife able for the ficthern's death. Pelley got in a clean hook to the jaw as the first marker after the men clenched, and many others were wounded. McCarty's neck. In discussing the case, the crown prosecution alleges that crown fighting is illegal under the statutes of Canada. It was intimated that in addition to the charge against him, he was again against Tommy Brus as promoter, Ed Smith, of Chicago, as referee, and Billy McCarney, manager for McCarty. These, however, are not ex- Police in Predicament. A peculiar situation confronts the authorities because of the fact that the man was under the jurisdiction of the mounted police and that several police officials attended the contest, none, however, proclaimed. The case of Pelkey will not be far enough advanced to be tried at the Asses now sitting and I heard will come up. It was said by the physicians that death undoubtedly had been caused by the heart was found to be sound. A clot of blood on the brain aided in convincing the doctors that death was not due to the blow. Shortly after the contest began McCarty received a shock back quickly. It did not appear to have caused any pain and he was afterwards on his feet for half a minute, followed back quickly by Pelkey with a right to the heart region, which caused the spectators to believe that the latter blow had Spinal Cord Ruptured. Physicians are of the opinion that the dislocation of the neck was not sustained in the fall which followed. He fell slowly and was not injured. After the second examination had been made, the physicians said the investigation show that the blow caused by causing a rupture of the spinal cord and a hemorrhage of the spine. Just before the death of McCarty was amputated, Perley had slipped into his clothes at the request of his trainers and was taken to his hotel in an automobile. It was not until after he had been admitted to the hospital that McCarty's death. He had started from the hotel when officers arrived and took him into custody. In his belief that the stiff foot hook which ended the fight in burns' arena was not primarily responsible for McCarty's death. He denied that the blow actually handed the heart. There had been one or two mixups of an inconsequential nature and a clinch. He was trained in palliative attitude, neither seeming to be worse for the clinch. McCarty was seen to double up in a matching attitude and his position simply was a fighting pose. He dropped lower and lower, however, his eyes rolling. Then he collapsed and fell full length on the Takes Final Count. The before, assuming that McCarty had been knocked out, snood over him to count off the seconds. It was the final minute, when the winner of the battle, at such heavy cost, stood at onside of his fallen adversary. He scarcely could realize what had happened, and he became alarmed. He called for a doctor and several responded. The mounted police were called in to chase the enemy, which had swarmed on the ropes. The physicians worked over the stricken man for eight minutes. Then they pronounced him dead, and the police handed him by artificial respiration for more than an hour. There were probably 10,000 men in the arena, and they were known that McCarty was dead. A few minutes before, whetted by the lust of battle in the pre-minutes that had been found, the police put a quietus on the spirits of the spectators and they filled quietly out of the arena, shocked by the tragic end of the battle. Almost the last words McCarty heard $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. EEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous delibacy, lack of vigor, weakened muscles, lack of focus, unsteady drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worm and nervous men their own homes—without any additional evidence—that I make every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and determine should have a copy. So I have written a prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who writes me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of man, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of delentious manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to say that my copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged may stop dragging himself with harmful medicines, secure what I believe is the most actifying restorative, upbuilding, SPOPTOR, NURSE remedy ever devised and so cure himself in a timely way.

The pastor of a town church entered the ring and, after sailing back to the town, preliminaries, asked the great assemblage to think that they were daily enlightened by the preacher said he did not disapprove of boxing, that he had boxed himself when all the challenger. He contended, all fighting all the challenger on Sunday. He was listened to respectfully by the court. The physician who took charge of McCarly and made a thorough examination after death, contends that the collapse of the heart is due to heart trouble or paralysis of the heart. He said that, owing to McCarly's condition, the heart was sufficient to cause death. Laughs With Friends. Both men apparently were in splendid condition when they entered the ring, ropes. He was laughing and joking with his friends and assistants and apparently was in a confident mood. A few minutes later, he was greeted by men who were cheered. Pelkey, strong local favorite, receiving the greater volume of plaudits. The men shook hands, were photographed and our attention was on them. Men captured attention at the opening, both handling themselves well. There were several mixups of no consequence, then Pelkey jabbed McCarty on his shoulder and our attention was on McCarty under it, but smiled. Then after about a minute of fighting there was a fierce exchange and a clench. He was shaken and the blow which caused his death. The referee separated the fighters. McCarty stood near its corner with Pelkey in the ring. Both men were feinting. McCarty then assumed the啄ing position for probably ten seconds before he fell to the floor. The referee, after making the customary counts, held up the hand of Pelkey to indicate that he had been declared the Physician Called. McCarty's seconds rushed to his side and began to work over him. After a few seconds there were calls to him. After a few minutes in the room he did not realize the seriousness of his condition. A few minutes later his death was announced. Short, king's counsel, said that an information would be placed against Pelkey and possibly some of those closely associated with the bout. Under the threat of a doctor it is liable to arrest for manslaughter. Body Was Shipped. McCarty's body was shipped to his birthplace at Hastings, Neb., on the following day. The fatal ending will have the effect of putting the lid down tight on boxing contests in western Canada. Tommy Burns succeeded for just one year in running bouts at his arena, located outside the city. Betting on the contest was lively at 2-to-1 against Pelkey holding out for ten rounds, while McCarty was a straight shot. Luther McCarty Luther McCarty was born at Lincoln Neb., on March 17, 1892.His father was a Irish extraction. Standing a trifle over 6 feet 3 inches, he was physically powerless, but his best blow was a right uppercut which he used almost continually in clinches. He first sprang up into ringing presence with the Chicago City Springfield, Mo., on May 3, 1912. McCarty was immediately hailed as a —real white knight — by the Chicago City Springfield. His best battle was with Al Palzer at Los Angeles last New Year's day, where he was defeated by Bombardier Wells in eighteen rounds. The last fight, previous to the fatal battle, was a ten-round view of Frank Mo. Belky Powerful Man "The paper I read reported that the blow was made by the man. That's unusual. Must have been a mistake there. A blow to the heart is delivered by the right front right from the body, like this—" Corbett, by the waist, drew his musculus, and his own waist towards his interviewer's short ribs. "I wouldn't really hit you, he said when his victim "There'll be another contest now for the heavyweight championship, course the Big Eagle, but but be white man now on the boards, I think, 'Gunboat Smith.' It is a great long, randy fellow who does some promising work with the gloves." The death of McCarty adds another knocked out a long list of fighters killed in prize-ring battles. Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Con Reardon in an exhibition, and Reardon never recovered consciousness. Owen Moran, the English lightweight, killed Thomas McCarthy with a blow in a bout in San Francisco Other deaths in San Francisco include, Harry Tenney, who died after a clash with the police, Jimmy Tenney, who died fro mthe result of the blows of Jimmy O'Connell, in 1900; Ginger Tenney, who died fro mthe result of the punch ten years later; Max Landy collapsed and died after a bolt with Joe O'Brien; and Joe O'Brien, a Philadelphia Negro boxer, was killed in a bout with Stanley Rogers in Philadelphia the same year. Another death in San Francisco, the bolted battle was killed by Billy Vernon. known as the Haverstraw Bricklayer, Vernon collapsed in a Philadelphia bout the early nineteen and died the next day in a car accident. He was a bantamweight, the result of blows delivered by Jimmy Barry, the American champion, in a bout before the National boxing club, of London, on December 6, 1897. Recent deaths include those of Joe Billy Walters at Waukegan, IL, in 1912, and a French pugilist named Pelli, who was killed during a fight with an English boxer fighting under the name of Everenden. Itsburgh's astonest ring fatality was the death of Poirry Laverie, a Southside lightweight, who died a few hours after his bout with "Swats" Adamson, in Adamson as a substitute for another boxer, and was out of condition. The bout was stopped in the final fight, after Laverie had taken considerable punishment.

She was working in a restaurant when he won the white championship, she hastened to their old home in Ohio to request of the older McCary, to meet the winner of the bison edition tour. The results of her trip were evidently unsatisfactory, as she soon arrived here where she was employed prior to McCary's capture of the belt. The body of the older McCary who met his death in a prize fight with Arthur Pekelay at Calgary, Canada, arrived at Plaqua, Ohio, May 30, and was taken to McCary's in the funeral party were Mrs. McCary, widow of the fighter; William McCaryne, McCary's manager, and Fred McCaryne was held thereafter noon of the 31st. THE TRUTH OF JACK JOHNSON'S TRIAL Evidence Does Not Support Allegation of Indictment—Judge Carpenter Absolutely Fair—The Defendant Will Be Acquitted On Evidence Heard. Johnson could not have a better judge to hear his case in all the land than the Hon. Judge Carpenter. He is a man of great integrity. He is honest in his dealings with all people, of whatever race or religion, and has never been known to have a prejudice in his mind against any person charged with a crime. He is absolutely hard and impartial. BRAINS, NOT BRAWN MAKE CHAMPIONS. Jimmy Britt, One of World's Greatest Lightweights, Tells Why Many Fighters Never Reach Top of Pugilistic Ladder. (By RoyalBrougham.) "Why do many fighters go so far up the pugilistic ladder and suddenly stop? Well, listen. Jimmy Jumped up and experienced boxers on the world, straightened the pin in his tie, drew his chair up closer and continued—"because they don't study." They study, and they are at the top. And those who do are not champions because of their natural ability alone. They study. They figure things out. They go along for a while, winning battles. They reach the second class, that is, the near-champion class. Then, do they just train, spar and take off weight before an important battle? No! They stud "Did you ever know a fellow-sufferer at school when you were a kid, who, naturally bright, seemed to float ahead of his class without half trying?" And he did not. He went into the higher grades, fall down with a bump when the time came to show? That was because he did not study. He did not apply himself. He got along well enough, but some came when his further ability would not carry him any further—and then stopped. Wins Eights Naturally. "I was behind Al Kaurman when he fought Dave Barry years ago. Al was going strong. He was going strong. He was winning battle after battle—but not on headwork. He won them on his feet. He was not to take punishment. Kaurman never figured a minute ahead in his life. That's why he was never champion. He was a rough-and-readyrapper who knuckled." just an ordinary tough fellow with a wail- hop and nothing else. Well, Al had every- thing he needed, but Harry lasted fourteen rounds. He should have got him in four. Fighting Own Fight. "Daleyan, Kaufman's manager, was letting the fellow fight his own fight. And he was making a poor job of it. Kauwai brought that helpless expression on his opponent's face time after time. Then, without any other attempt, flashed the face of the opponent and let Bowie cover. It was the same thing over and over for thirteen rounds. Time and time again, Al would have his opponent groggy with that stiff left of his and then jumped. "Well, at the end of the thirteenth round I became so disgusted that I could not help offering a suggestion: I was not intentionally the fight, but intentionally, but nevertheless it was so, while any moment his husky opponent might slip over one of his sleep producers I was, and I was pretty well known about those parts then, and Kaurkman listened to me. Gives Him Hunch. "Good heavens, man, follow up that left. Can't you see you get him if you don't want him? He's into his face anywhere, oYu can't help but get him." "He didn't went no further than the fourteenth." "Al, for the twentieth time, sent one of those crushing hits into his opponent's head, then stepping a stead of back, pushed his right into Barb's face, then taking a tilt. He could have figured the thing out himself just as well if he had wanted. He was not a fighter who figured things out." OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. Skirvin Giants Organized for the Sea son.
