Brief Tour to Be Followed by European Visit of Sev- eral Months. - WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16.—Not even the brilliant wedding of Nellie Grant, these years agone;, was so bril- Mant an affair as will be that of Alice Roosevelt, the second President's daugh- ter to be married in the White House, next Feb. 17; and who does not re- member the wedding of the beautiful daughter of Gen. Grant to Sartoris, the proud Englishman? One difference is that the coming af- fair will be an all-American event, and that this couple will reside in a Cincin- natj suburban home, instead of at an English manor house. Congratulations—by wire. by telephone and in proper person—have never ceased to pour in on the President’s popular daughter since Wednesday evening, when the engagement to Congressman “Nick” Longworth Qf Ohio was an- nounced. Nor has the fortunate Ohioan’ been forgotten. Telegrams in plenty have found their way to his home in Eight- eenth street. His colleagues in’ the House were quick to send their good wishes, and hundreds of his friends in Cincinnati wired their hearty con- gratulations. Immediately after the wedding they will make a short tour, after which they will return to Washington, to remain until the close of the present session of Congress, After that time, it is now proposed, the couple will make a tour of Europe lasting several months, and then go to Cincinnati, which will be thelr permanent residence. Miss Ethel Roosevelt will be maid of honor, and the other attendants will be chosen from among the many cou- sins of the bride-elect in New York and from Washington friends. Mr, Long- worth has not yet announced who his best man will be. Miss Roosevelt, it is understood, will wear her mother’s wedding gown, which has been carefully preserved by her grandmother, Mrs. George C. Lee of Brookline, Mass. The engagement ring is a dull gold band set with five-diamonds, perfectly matched.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—It cost Capt. James Morse of Boston $77,250 to try to break up the marriage of his nephew, Charles Morse, a New York banker, and Elsie King. His only objection was that she was a divorced woman. That was the unchallenged assertion of the District Attorney in the trial of Law- yer Abram Hummel, charged with suborning perjury and endeavoring ito invalidate a court record. Seldom has there been a more terrific arraignment up

of a prisoner in a New York court. Hummell has not put in his defense, hence his version is not known. Two witnesses, one the nephew and ‘the other an employe of Hummel, de- clined to answer questions on the greunds of possible incrimination. But the District Attorney's opening address, -coupled with the questions asked these ‘witnesses, revealed an astounding case. i In cold blood Hummel was charged ‘with contracting to break up the mar- riage of Charles Morse to Mrs. Charles F.

Goff, 24 vears old, under arrest ona charge of bigamy here, adimits his guilt, but believes he will be freed when he tells the Court -how his first wife ran him away from home to take up anoth- er man. According to the prisoner, he was married to the firat wife about three years ago in Alabama, but because of her alleged disagreeable nature and the rough treatment he received at her hands, he lived with her only a few months. Goff claims that the real rea- son he left her was that she became in- fatuated with another man and she and this other man forced him to leave home. Since leaving he had heard nothing from her and had made no ef- forts to hear. After leaving wife No. 1, Goff said he went to Bledsoe County, where he mtt wife No. 2, who was a Miss Nadie Atchley. This was about two years ago, and since that time they have been pn | here in Chattanooga. Goff gave as his reason for marrying again that he had heard nothing wuaat- ever from his first wife and he sup- posed that she had either secured ua :t'- vorce or was dead.

and a great patron of the church, Capt. Brown was one of the conspicuous fig- ures of Smoky City life. Years ago he was divorced trom his wife, who now resides in Fiorence, Italy. His children are all dead, and he lived alone in a great mansion on Squirrel Hill. There was published two days ago ae in her home in the Foubourg onore, talked of the dinner f ogg | G.

Now it develops that there are other bequests which promise to raise a flerce contest be- tween two women. Mrs. Grace Brown, widow of the Cap- tain’s only son, was bequeathed merely a trust fund of $30,000. A very large sum of money has been left to Miss Martha Lewis, who is prominent in | church work and superintendent of a: Sunday-school. The will was made less than a month ago, on Nov. 22, which invalidates it, under the State law. in a previous will large bequests were made to Mrs. Grace Brown. Mrs. Brown said today: “I am s0: stunned by this new will that I do not know what I shall do. No, Miss Lewis. is not here in the house with m®"’ Miss Lewis, in answer to inquiries, said: “I do not care to enter into any discussion of the matter.

The divorce decree was set aside and immediately Mrs. Morse’s marriage to Morse was annulled at her request. In the meantime Dodge fled to New Or- leans.

m solemn fact. If the system crushes Lawson, that hero can point to another awful example of frenzied finance. = SS i ae

Mayor Wells’ opposition to expensive and useless junkets is doing'good service for the city. >> SS It appears then that Mr. Harriman bossed the boss. In politics it is always well to look for the man behind the boss.

—S— — = LEARS’ CHARGES. When a witness refuses to answer questions be- fore the grand jury on the ground that he will incur the enmity of the police and be driven out of town, it is time for public interest to become acute and curious. Lears’ charge amounts to an accusation of crim- inality. If there is anything in it the policemen involved must be considered part and parcel of a criminal conspiracy against public order and the safety of the law-abiding members of the community. In other words, the protectors of law and order are themselves the worst disturbers of the peace. But notwithstanding this charge and all the ru- mors and reports which have been floating about for months with every appearance of truth, nobody knows whether anything will be done. And even more, nobody is sure that anything can be done. The city is in a desperate situation if the machinery of law and order is at the mercy of a gang of uni- formed thugs. The new Police Board should lose no time in reorganizing the force on a basis of law en- forcement. It has been resting on a foundation of violence and disorder long enough. ———- oo

. -It is singular how dangerous it is for a community to do anything which interferes with the “graft” of the “interests”—that is in the opinion of the rep- resentatives of the “interests.” Messrs. Judson and Taussig found mountainous obstacles in the way of the building and maintaining of a free bridge by the - great city of St. Louis, although the bridge and terminal combine run two bridges here without en- dangering the city, and the country is dotted with bridges built and maintained by railroad companies. Dr. Taussig sees a great obstacle in the fact that a “trained force’ must handle the bridge, as if a trained force were an exceptionable and almost im- possible thing to obtain. Mr. Judson finds grave danger of illegality in the proposed bond issue, al- though the bridge monopoly and other railroad in- terests find no difficulty in issuing bonds on a legal basis. It is really wonderful how impossible it is {» have anything done right unless it is done by plundering corporations. ooo —__—_ _____- SPECULATION AND MORE SPECULA- TION. Thomas W. Lawson is one of the most interesting men living. He has interested a larger number of people with what he has had to say about the “Sys- tem” than have been jnterested by any great novel- ist, any eloquent preacher, any sincere and earnest reformer of the last ten years. When he says now that the “System” threatens him with bankruptcy by holding a_ Bull against his Bear pool in copper, he is still interest- ing. He makes the public anxious, but scareely in the way he expects. If he is “cleaned out” and bankrupted, he will lose his power as a public entertainer. The public does not wish him to lose it. Hence, it wish him to be “cleaned out.” This is the limit of its sympathies, however. The American people have not yet reached the stage at which they could expect great evils due to reckless speculation, governed without morals by the spirit of speculation, to be remedied by more speculation, either on the bull or bear side of the market. Still, it hopes that as a copper bear, Lawson will be able to take care of himself. He is certainly the most interesting bear in the entire menagerie. . ee

corner does not

the academy, but woe to the boy who does not take his medicine like a man. So say the naval orucers in charge. Now which horn of the dilemma is the poor boy to choose? ° Ne ee MORAL EDUCATION. - Prof. Ross opines that “our colleges ave rearing a breed of men who will not bow down to the gold en calf. Through them and the change of ‘the pub- lie appreciation of a man, which now judges him not by what he has done, but by what he has re. ceived for doing it will come the change.” Then the colleges have been born again, or are ee ee about to undergo that interesting event. "+ Experience tells us in no doubtful terms that among educated men the will is just as wayward and sinful as among the plain people whose intel- tects have had no college advantages. The education of the will, that is, moral education, is largely, indeed, almost entirely, a matter of ex- ample and The notion that morality can be taught in the classroom is a fallacy. A boy whose teacher tells him it fs wrong to defraud his neigh- hor accepts the maxim and puts it away in the pig- eon hole of his mind reserved for theories which may relation to life. But if his father franchises by bribery or Lears 1s expected to convert an open secret into | j ' i

appropriating the money of insurance policy hold- érs he will be apt to adopt the “practical” view that must take facts as we find them, especially if there is money in them. Colleges do not educate the will, At least the college men who have been made to testify of their own misdeeds do not bear the marks of such culture. Morality is found in the simpler life of the unpre- tentious. Moral education always has been and al- ways will be the special work of fathers and moth- ers.

a an allies In full proof of the charge that the police depart- ment does intimidate witnesses, the Chief of Police and the Chief of Detectives summoned a witness he. fore them as soon as he was out of the grand jury room and gave him what is known to the police as the “third degree.” If he is a man of “doubtful reputation,” his testimony that this is habitually a police method might have left a doubt possible. none, however, when they summon the witness from the ante-chamber of the grand jury room to subject him to their various “degrees.” The thing was done publicly. It is not only. public proof, but a public scandal. What is this man’s offense? That he is giving information censuring the misconduct of: po- lice officers ?

~@-@-@—— WHIPPING POST AND BIG STICK. Congressman Adams of Pennsylvania may be right in his claim that the President is “heartily in favor” of passing the Adams bill to establish a whipping post in the District of Columbia. No doubt Theodore R.’s great and good friend, the Kaiser, is also heart- ily in favor of it. Perhaps the Czar might endorse it. There is a bare chance that His Majesty, Edward VII, Imperator et Rex, might approve it, though it is incredible that he would venture to ask Parliament to re-establish either a whipping post qr pillory in London. Still, the approval of all the professional wielders of the Big Stick in the world, civilized and uncivil- ized, would not help Congressman Adams or excuse him when he exhibits his barbarism to the country in such a proposition as this. A whipping post in the capital of the United it would give new uses for the Big Stick at once. Perhaps there are men in this country brutal ficial fees or official salary. would only degrade them further. could be confined in an asylum for moral idiots, iho best possible use for the Big Stick would be to re- lieve them from the misery of their degraded exist- ence. Since Miss Roosevelt is to marry a Cincinnati man she can see the Rhine without crossing the ocean. eee

+ “OUR GREAT WATERS.” The figures of the enormous increase in ness of the “Soo” Cana], which gauges the the lakes, mean a great deal to St. Louis. The city is making phenomenal progress, which averages out and hides the loss at the only point it is showing a tendency to lose at all. This is the point of its ancient supremacy as a “river town,” in a field as great as that of the “lake towns” north of it. ° If we were still increasing this business for the waters of the Mississippi River as it is increasing on the water ofthe lakes, St. Louis would soon have its future under its own control. ————__—_—____#¢¢—___________ | LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. the busi- traffic of

& ADVICE WANTED. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I came from the country about a year ago. I £0 to McKinley High School at night. I study chemistry there. -I want some kind reader to tell me as to whether it would be\tbest to work in a chemical house or not. My only ambition is to be a chemist. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. 1 hope to hear from some kind reader soon. A CHEMIST TO BE. GOOD OLD MAN. To the Faditer of the Post-Dispatch. It's a woman’s sphere to get a husband, one who can make a home for her and to father sons and daughters when they come and make good men and wome out of them. Kighteen years ago ([ am now 388) 'I had the good fortune to find favor in the eyes of a man 60 years old. I had served him in his office daily for two years and found him to be an honest. straightfor- ward and morally virtuous gentleman. We were married, and my friends, my parents, an older and a youger sister found fault with my selection. Today I am the happy mother of three boys and two girls, with a husband and father who, though 78, seems healthier, “brainier'’ and much more active than many men at 40. My old-time friends have long since become reconciled But what I did want to say is

that when a man -+hhas shown his earning and business ness capacity, is healthy and active, no matter if he is 60.or even 70, he will make a better husband than the average young man of today who has his future to make, A HAPPY MOTHER. To the Faditer of the Post-Dispatch. In respect of your comments recently on the mat- ter of Tom L. Johnson’s advocacy of the ‘recall’’— the statutory power of a political constituency to discharge a public servant—I am constrained to re- mind ‘you that ‘‘factional commotion,” as an argu- against the adoption of the principle in our of government cannot be advanced legiti- mately without inferentially, at least, repudiating popular government. If the people have a natural and inallenable right to choose a yg emg ote they have an equal right to discharge him whenever he hecomes a misrepresentative, and, if there is any considerable number of his constituents who are dis- satisfied with his conduct, and who are willing to undertake the expense, pecuniary and- otherwise, of sounding the voters through petition as to the ad- visability of “firing’’ him, there is no valid reason why the power to ‘fire’ should not exist. Possible factional disturbances, etc., do not count, except as an excuse for arbitrary power and abuse thereof. I, P. CUSTER. LITERATURE AND POLITICS. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial today entitled “Literary Fellows in Politics,” sets one thinking, and’ incidentally points out one of the shortcomings of our political life— or, shall I say, one of the weaknesses of the average American politician. The illiterate mind, ff so dis- posed, might infer from your allusions, that litera- ture, art and kindred subjects were detrimental to the practical work of a statesman, that he who guides the ship of state has no need of “‘the light that never was on land or sea.”” But do not facts point the other way? Was it not the gentler arts, the literary note, that sounded in Washington, in Web- ater, in Lincoln, that made them the trusted leaders that they were, renderng their written words today as potent as were their deeds in their life time. So the trio of Pritish statesmen you name—Morley, Bryce, Hallam—have no reason to be ashamed that they are better known In the world of letters, for it is this literary quality that has secured their hold upon the confidence of the people, such as the, mere political juggler would lack. ive us more of these “literary fellows’. in Congress, let politics and polite learning go hand in hand in the upbuilding of the state, and the ever-recurring slur, “Politics is rotten,’’ shall no longer grate on the ears ef the American public JOHN C.

THE EMPTY STOCKING. The tragedy of children’s eyes That wake expectant Christmas. Day And find the world yet cold and gray, Would hush the harps of Paradise. The moan of pain from lips forlorn That thought to babble o'er a doll, But found none answering their call, Would choke the bliss in Gabr’el’s horn. The melancholy cry of him Who thought to wake and find a drum, And found no drum ap all had come, Would pierce to Heaven's very rim. Dear Santa Claus, thine eyes are dim. Be careful lest we hear again The tragedy, the moan of pain, The melancholy cry of him. NOBODY’S DIARY. I am nothing. I am the negation of entity reduced to infinitesimal micro- scopicity. I am the cube root of an tir- reducible minimum. I have no breadth or thickness, but I am acquiring length. I am an unconsidered trifle in a world of more important things. What there is of me has some semblance to hu- manity, but I am not treated as a hu- man being. My first name .is nothing and and my last name is nothing. I reach up, but it does me no good. My standing is not regarded by those who would help me if they would. I go back as often as I go forward and the journeying is painful. I am nothing and I get that which I am minus that which I ought to have. That which I can reach and take I do not want and that which I want I cannot get. Being nothing I dare not complain. You will find me hanging to a street-car strap every morning and evening in St. Louis. COLLEGE SCRAPPERS.

AN ARCTIC HONEYMOON Observations Indited for the Post-Dispatch By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

AX FLEISCHMANN plorer, may see the snow

of Cincinnati, who is to be married this month, has announced his intention of going on a honeymoon trip to the North Poie, which, as a side issue, he will endeavor to discover. This recalls inevitably the immortal remark of King Edward to a man just re- turned from an Arctic trip, at a crowded reception: “Beastly warm, isn’t it” More like the South Pole, eh?" Certainly we must all agree with tue naive monarch that the antarctic te gions more befit the tender dalliance of honeymooning days. And yet there may be method in Mr. Ficischmann’s midwinter madness after all. No one as yet has tried the means of reaching the pole that must at once flash upon this astute honeymooner that of melting the ice between himself and the long-sought place on the earths surface where the axle ougnt tO be. If I were a self-respecting gia am sure I could not face any young couple on their honeymoon without dis- creetly fading away. So that it’s pos- sible Mr. Fleischmann instead of mevt- ing insurmountable barriers of ice, such as would probably beset the ordinary ' M ‘jer |

And go is old Judge Adair, for that matter.’’ “The story reads to me,” ventured the Kindergarten Director, “as if the author wishes to show the world that there’s a better type of Southern man than ig commonly encountered in fiction—the hackneyed, drawling Southerner, indolent, impractical and helpless to make headway in a busy and strenuous world. We've had too much of this kind of Southerner.” “And, besides,”’ chimed in The Girl, “Southern women have never in reality had any patience with that type. In common with all Eve’s daugh- ters they like a conquering man, one who plays the game of life to win, and who's strong and clever and plucky enough to come out of ‘the game victorious. Wom- €n may sympathize with a picturesque and pathetic failure of a man—but, dear me, their hearts are won by the man who wins his game, not by the wistful loser—and the Southerner in fiction has figured too much in the latter char- acter.”’ “In other words, Girl,’’ suggested the former Congressman, women like a man with red blood in his veins.” “Yes, indeed,’’ replied The Girl. ‘‘Even more than we care for blue blood— and yet that’s saying a good deal. But it was some red-blooded ancestor in the first place, remember, who gave his family its blue-blooded rank, so that the feminine preference for red blood is well-founded, after all.’’ “Do you believe,”’ ask.the Literary Grain Broker, ‘‘that a Northern capital- ist, such as Gregory Falls, owning and controlling a big industrial plant in @ southern town, as he did the electric street railway and lighting plant Adairville, would find his enterprise imperiled by the mere fact of sectional smiling, ‘“‘you prejudice ?’’ “No,”’ instantly responded the former Congressman. ‘“‘And when you analyze this novel, you find that sectional prejudice was not at the bottom of Gregory Falls’ business troubles. The real cause of the hostility toward him Was that he imperiled the interests of certain other men, competitors of his, and these men cunningly stimulated the dormant sectional prejudice of Adair- yfile until it became active. Then they used it as their chief weapon, “It seemed to be pretty active in the case of Mrs. Eldridge-Jones and the “unreconstructed’ element generally,”’ remarked the Artist. ‘‘Their feathers ruffled up the minute the Northerner put in an appearance.” “They're the minority element nowadays,’’ retorted the -former Congress- “And their hostility wouldn't have counted if it hadn’t been so shrewd- ly played upon.for business purposes. And then, of course, the ‘race problem’ had to be dragged in to make matters worse.” “Handled in rather an unpleasant manner, Teacher. ‘“‘Culminating in a lynching, of course. escape the ‘color line’ and Judge Lynch, it seems.”’ “Must have a certain amount of melodrama,” grinned the Old Playgoer. “{t’s the leaven in the story-telling lump, and I reckon we wouldn't ‘rise’ to the story without it.” “This novel would be the better without it,” said the Artist. “But there's It’s a pretty fair story as it is, too,” said the High School Novels of Southern life can't I think.” “Anyway,” said the Literary Grain Broker, “it’s likely to be talked about.

large volume by Samuel Isham, who is an associate of the National Academy of Design in New York and a member of the Society of American Artists. The book is one of a series edited by John C. Van Dyke on the History of American Art. Mr. Isham takes a narrow view of his task and @evotes much more than half of his space to beginnings and the remainder to matter concerning the New York set of artists and their work, evidently as- in the ast is worthy of mention. W. H. Howe, the cattle painter, has a passing mention. Chester Harding, who was once a resident of St. Louis (about 1820) is given adequate space concerning his work in the east. The same fortune does not fall to the memory of di Francia, a Portuguese nobleman, who found _fefuge here and painted many portraits of St. Louis belles of the past genera- tion; di Francia committed the sin unpardonable to Mr. and thus did not join the New York coterie.

TIM KELLY’S CHILD

on the door of the cottage occu- i policeman pounded vigorously Tim Kelly on O'Fallon pied by street. The hour being late, and Tim Kelly and his family being sound sleepers, it was some minutes before the hammer- of the bluecoat was rewarded. It might not have brought a response even then if the officer had not re-enforced his knuckles with his feet in a manner that threatened to burst the door from its hiuges. Then Tim’s head suddenly emerged from a gable window, vaguely visible in the rays from a gasoline street lamp half a‘block away. “What's up?” Tim demanded, “Ha growled the policeman, as he backed down the steps to get a better viewpoint. ‘‘You’re up, anyway. I've knocked me fists black and blue iryin’ to wake you.”’ “I slape with a clear conscience,’ re- torted Tim, somewhat warmly. “‘What’s up, I say?’ ‘“Ain’t you missed any o’ your chil- dren?’ asked the policeman, “No,” said Tim, “I ain’t missed anny of ’em. Ivery wan of ’em was in bed three hours ago.’’ ‘Then there’s a mistake in the ad- dress,’’ said the policeman, in half apol- ogetic tones. ‘‘There’s a lost girl and the address I got was here.’ “The divil take ye!’’ said Tim, as he slammed the window shut. At the Four Courts the comfortable- looking matron once more questioned the iost girl. ' “Now, my dear,’ the woman said in firm but kindly tones, “I want you to tell me the truth and the whole truth. The policeman who went to the house says you don’t live there at all.” “] do!’ returned the child, beginning to blubber. ‘I do Hve there, and my pa is Tim Kelly, and he works in a foun- ing

Put your duds on and come ‘long with me and get her. If you don’t you'll be ‘pinched’ for child desertion. Come quick, I tell you.” An angry retort was on Tim's lips, when another hand protruded from the window. “Wait a minute,” voice. “‘Mebbe I better count ’em. wait.’’ She disappeared for a few moments into the interior regions, and Tim and the policeman observed the truce. Then the woman’s head bobbed out again. “Wan of ’em’s missing,’’ she ex- claimed. ‘‘There’s only ‘liven in bed, and there ought to be twilve.” “Howly saints!"’ cried Tim, aghast. “Didn't ye count em all at supper, Mary ?’’ *“Yis, Tim.’ “And didn’t ye count ’em when they wint to bed?’’ “Yis, Tim; but with the baby cryin’ and Micky bellerin’ and Patsy just after fallin’ downstairs, mebbe I counted "em wrong.

He went to one of the club stags and afterward said that it was a shame to let a gang of sluggers who did not know the .rudi- ments of the game carry off all the money that New Yorkers are willing to pay for the privilege of seeing a good bout, and that he was going to get his share of it. The result was that Mc- “adden went into the ring to give a three-round exhibition. Or the heavyweights who. have come back, Sharkey and Ruhlin are the nota- ble examples. Tom does not expect to fight, he says, but he is managing a club and attending fights every night, and several times has been seen in earnest consultation with Gus. The latter has announced his desire to spar at some of the stags, but his, offer to appear has been refused, prin- hecause it was thought almost impossible to find a partner for him. Sharkey has his own club, and while neither will admit it, some managers who are wise hint that it will not b Fadden. |long before Tom and Gus will be seen

the same ring in this city. Another interesting fact that has been brought out by the stags is that the clubs can hold bouts of-longer dura- tion than the present three rounds and still be within the law, which allows a limited round sparring exhibition hbe- tween the bona fide members of a reg- ularly incorporated clab. One of the clubs has already tested the law, and every week hold a bout of four rounds asi ae feature of the night's -entertain- ment, in

The batting averages of the Missouri- lilinois Trolley League have been com- piled and svill be announced Sunday. Bob Fisher. who played right fieid for the Ben Millers, is «he leading bats- man of the league. Schirm, who goes next year with Arthur Granville’g Co- lumbus team, of the South Atiantic League, is second, and Jimmy hKinsella of last season's Magazines is third. Fisher finished fourth in the batting percentages of he Trolley League last year, and it has been openly predicted that the hard-hitting outfielder would lead all the. hitters after the compilation of the 1906 sta istics. Fisher fis one of the best known ath- letes in the city, and is an enthusiast in all amateur sports. A clever boxe rand wrestler, he is also one of the best exponents of the game of handball in he citv. He is a member of Bob Douglas Gymnasium. The Missouri-lilinois League this year has had the strongest organization in its history. It comprises six clubs: Belleville.

‘* What Chance Would Philadelphia Jack Have With si Asks the Pugilistic Authority and Then Proceeds to T 1 What Bob Did to Champion Jim. ne BY ROBERT EDGREN, NEW YORK, Vec. 16.—Neat Wedines- day night wiil see some sort of a chanse in the heavyweight gle. Robert Fitzsimmons and Jack O'Brien will fight in San Franciseo for the light heavyweight title, and the bat- tle, since Fitzsimmons one of the parties in it, will be as near a heavy- weight championship affair as any fight ean be without Jeffries in the ring. Mar- vin Hart is Fitzsimmons’ rival in claim- ing the tithe. The Kentuckian bases his pretensions (quite absurdly) on the fact that Faker Jack Root in Reno. Fitzsimmons has a clearer right to the honor. He lost it'to Jeffries, but since that time no other man has prev- en himself to be nearer championship form than Fitz. Fitzsimmons, in trying to win back his belt, gave Jeffries the hardest fight the giant ever had in his life. In this coming encounter the only things that obfuscate the result are Fitzsimmons’ age and the fact that he has done Httle fighting during the past four or five years, while Jack O'Brien, in his prime. has fought frequently of late, and has met some good men. If the question of age was left out O’Brien would no more class with Fitz- simmons than a newsboy would class with Terry McGovern. Fitzsimmons was a few years ago (and he may be still) the greatest fighter of his weight that ever put on a glove. Himself a mid- dleweight, he foueht the best heavies in the business and knocked them all cut until Jeffries came alone and turned the tables. Jeffries weighed 239 pounds, Fitzsimmons 190. Ye would be absurd to sav ©’ Rrien at his best could fieht Jeffries e‘ieht sava@e rounds, hammering the giant all over the ring, cutting him te rages, closing both of his eves, standing toe to toe and exchanging wallop fer wallop without anv attempt to ge* away, as Fitz did in San Francisco oniv three vears ago.
