' Lewis held each for about a min ute, but on the last one Stecher turn ed quickly and obtained a body scis sors, .which he held for three min utes and four econds, while Lewis bridged. When free Lewis made. a wild attempt for another headlock. Stecher broke the hold, lifted his op ponent up In his arms and threw him heavily to the center of the mat on his back. The champion then pounced on him and in fifteen sec onds pinned his shoulders down. Stecher was unusually aggressive, forcing the pace for the first half hour, constantly worrying Lewis with a reverse arm hold. The first good hold was obtained by the chal lenger "after forty-eight minutes' wrestling when he got his favorite headlock which lasted forty-two sec- nnfia Rtpcher, retaliated wltn a similar hoid combined with an arm scissors. Lewis was in jeopardy for fifty-five seconds.1 Just before the end of-the second hour Stecher twisted out of a leg scissors and brought his opponent to the mat with a reverse arm hold but the men rolled off the mat. Later the champion'made a punishing side body scissors hold which seemed to weaken Lewis, who then resorted to attempts at a flying hold. TELEPHONE COMPANY HEAD DIES III BALTIMORE, MD Theodore N.

The fourth case of "sleeping sickness" developed in Norfolk Monday when physicians at the Verges sanitarium announced that Elmer Christiansen, seventeen- year-old son of Chris Christiansen, is confined there with a severe case of encephalitis lethargical His condi tion, the physicians say, is quite ser ious but hopes are entertained for his final recovery. The boy has had sleeping sickness for a week and ef forts to arouse r him have failed. Three other cases of the same di sease have developed here during the past three months, but the patients who live at Pierce, Ainsworth and Chambers have fully recovered. - Young Christiansen suffered a mild attack of influenza about a year ago and sleeping sickness attacked him only recently. Physicians here say such an attack can be expected about a year after an influenza attack. In Christiansen's case the sleeping di sease appears to have been more se vere than in the other three cases. Several lumbar punctures have been made by attending surgeons who be lieve they see more signs of improve- mnet in their patient. Dr. Kriz who recently left the naval service and who was a regi mental surgeon for the Ameriian marines in Haiti and in various parts of the United States after examin ing Christiansen, declares he is a typical sleeping sickness patient. He saw many cases of this disease ii California among the marines and sailors. lie Joined the staff of the Verges sanitarium recently. The presence of the sleeping sick ness with the announcement that three other cases had been treated here caused considerable comment on the disease by some members of the medical profession. It Is declared the disease is very dangerous and should be given proper treatment at an early stage. Among the' symp toms are the double vision, drowsi ness, stupor, temperature, the devel opment of general brain symptoms and eventually paralysis. . . The word encephalitis Is derived from the Greek, meaning inflamma tion of the brain, while the word lethragica means drowsiness.

NEED VILLA TO LEAD THEM - San Antonio, Tex., April 15. The revolution of Sonora ; against the Mexican government has the poten tialities of failure unless Francisco ilia assumes the role which may hrow the balance on thp side of the .evolutionary state, according tore ports "received at southern - depart ment headquarters at Fort Sam louston today. Sonora Is a "house divided within Itself", and Villa at thjs time would seem to bo the greatest potential factor in the revo lutionary movement, it was stated. Want of money and of coal and Car ranza propaganda, which is being spread throughout the revolutionary state by Gen. Juan J. Rios and Gen. Torribio Gamboa, are the chief dif ficulties facing the revolutionists, according to the reports. Neither Rios or. Gamboa has been permitted '.o return to Carranza territory, but neither has been imprisoned and ap parently both have found opportun ity for greater activity from within than from without, - it was stated. Jamboa was repotred t ohave crossed into Arizona on Wednesday and to have been seen in the vicinity of No gales, Ariz. Villa today was reported on the northern part of the Chihuahua Coahuila line, near a point where his brother, Hipolico Villa has con centrated 300 horses. That was Interpreted to mean Vil la may be preparing to assist Son ora, possibly through overtaking and harassing any Carranza troops which may move against the state from Chihuahua City, which now lies be tween him and Sonora.
