Champion Jeffries Gives Akron Gianl
Enough in Pive Bounds
STOMACH BLOW CAUSES COLLAPSf
Vanquished PugllUt CIalra3 Jeffries Struck
Iiow Easy Victory Surprises JJolIer
maker Winner Considers Opponent
Vigorous Until utter Yields
SAN FRANCISCO Nov 16 In one
of the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country James
Jeffries proved the victor last night
over Gus Ruhlin In the fifth round
of what was to have been a twenty
round struggle Ruhlin wilted and then
surrendered to his peer to the utter
amazement and disgust of the assem
bled thousands No one was more
surprised than Jeffries himself who
asserted that although he had deliver
ed one telling blow in the second
round he did not expect to win the vic
tory so easily
Ruhlins sole explanation of the out
come of the fight Is that he received
a chance blow which utterly disabled
him and that Jeffries persisted in
fighting him low While Ruhlin will
uiake no absolute charge of Jeffries
having committed a foul he intimates
that he was unfairly handled and in
jured as a result Ruhlin received
the report of his seconds in this stand
who say that his was a hopeless case
after the second round
When seen in his dressing room af
ter the fight Champion Jeffries said
I was certainly surprised at my
easy victory and Ruhlins amazing de
feat While it is true that he did not
punch me hard enough during the five
rounds to cause me any alarm I be
lieved him strong and cautious up to
the moment of his collapse and was
surprised when he quit I certainly
had no trouble in whipping him and
had the fight gone on the result must
have been the same Ruhlin was in
accurate and in poor wind and I can
not say that he even had the courage
and force that I expected to ecounter
in him Ruhlin took a stiff punch
in the stomach in the fourth round
which I presume gave him trouble
Nevertheless I expected him to lose
harder than he did Ruhlin can
doubtless best explain his own
tion and as for myself I am willing
to meet Sharkey next month anci
thereafter to defend as best I can thd
title I hold
When Ruhlin went into his dress
ing room he was followed by a gloomy
group of adherents The defeated
man complained of no pain and mov
ed about without assistance He
stated
I believed from the tap of the gong
that I would win but as the fight
progressed I was beaten down until I
received a blow in the stomach which
I must say was very low It may not
have been a foul but no living man
could have survived it Jeffries de
parted from the written rules and
from the common regulations of box
ing when he threw himself upon me
and wrestled rather than sparred I
believe that had I not received the
stomach punch which ended me in
the fifth round I would have worn
down Jeffries a few rounds later and
beaten him as a matter of endurance
I am ready to fight him again and be
lieve that in time I will have the op
portunity of showing that I can de
feat him

KNOCK AT THE UNIONS DOOR
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory Urge
Their Demand for Statehood
MUSKOGEE I T Nov 15 Single
statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory will be brought to a definite
issue at the convention called to meet
in the United States court room here
this afternoon The date for the con
vention vr s set at Oklahoma City on
October 22 and three hundred dele
gates from each territory have come
to fight out the issue The supreme
effort of the two territories to secure
a single statehood form of govern 1
ment at the next session of congress
will be made
The issue will it is believed be
squarely divided between the political
and commercial interests of the terri
tories Politicians as a rule It is
conceded are in favor of separate
statehood This view as far as indi
cations point before the meeting gath
ers Is opposed by the business men
of the territories who want all ave
nues of trade and Industry opened
without restriction and who proress
to believe that this end could not bo
secured in malting two states of the
territories This it is held is espe
cially true in Indian Territory whose
undeveloped natural resources they
assert are as rich as can be found in
any state of the union Among the
first delegates to arrive the current of
feeling seemed strongly for single
statehood for Oklahoma without de
lay Indian Territory to be later
Aside from speechmaking and the
adoption of resolutions bearing on
the subject tne convention will likely
provide funds to carry on a system
atic campaign of education for state
hood that shall finally reach congress

Brazil Increases Duty on That Imported
In Bags
NEW YORK Nov 15 The Rio
Janeiro correspondent of the Herald
cables The Chamber of Deputies has
passed a -bill increasing the duty on
flour imported in bags instead of bar
rels There was a lively discussion
over the measure It was contended
that flour imported in bags is apt to
contain dangerous germs but this as
sertion was combated vigorously
One member of the budget commit
tee frankly declared that the object
of the bill was to protect United States
producers against the Argentine Af
ter the vote had been taken several
deputies said The Yankees have
routed the Argentines
Public opinion and the newspapers
generally disapprove of the new law
as it is known that flour from the Uni
ted States arrives in barrels while
the Argentine product comes in bags
Newspapers of Buenos Ayres unani
mously condemn the measure and re
monstrances will be filed by the Ar

LUTHER W OSBOJtN IS DEAD
Diitlncalshcd Nebruckan Passed Away
at Ills Pose in Samoa
WASHINGTON Nov 13 A cable
gram received at the state depart
ment today from Auckland New Zea
land announces the death at Apla
Samoa on October 17 of Luther W
Osborn United States consul general
at Apia
Mr Osborn was born in New Yorli
and appointed to his present post
from Nebraska July 26 1897 Thus he
was the principal representative of the
authority of the United States in the
Samoan group in the troublesome days
before the partition and it appeared
that he alono of all the foreign rep
resentatives at Apia aroused no op
position He obtained the confidence
of the natives and the other repre
sentatives of the foreign powers
The death of Luther W Osborn ol
Nebraska consul general at Apia Sa
moa announced today by the state
department came as a great shock to
the officials His communications to
the department have been marked by
thoroughness clearness and value
When trouble between the contending
factions of natives arose Judge Osborn
as acting chief justice of the Samoan
islands decided every question with
such eminent fairness that both sides
to a controversy were bound to ac
cept his decisions When the excite
ment in the islands wa3 at white heat
and actual warfare between contend
ing native tribes had broken out Con
sul General Osborn remained on the
Island refusing to take refuge on a
man-of-war and by his coolness and
courage prevented wholesale slaughter
The consular service of the United
States contains not a chapter of cool
ness intelligent judgment and success
cessful diplomacy on the part of any
consul surpassing this chapter of Judge
Dsborns record at Apia

home of General Manager Holdrege
of the Burlington He left next day

Probably the most important meas
ure affecting Nebraska that will be
brought before congress this winter
he said will be for the division of
the state into two federal districts
to be known respectively as the North
Platte and South Platte districts
With but one district the federal
court is overcrowded with business
and great hardship and inconvenience
results If we can secure two districts
the people of western Nebraska will
be especially benefited In the South
Platte district one session of the court
could be held at Lincoln and another
say at Hastings while in the North
Platte the sessions could be divided
between Omaha and some such place
as Alliance or North Platte

IKONING A SUIItT WAIST
Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
vant cannot do It Hence these direc
tions for ironing the waist To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight In a damp cloth to be
laid away two or three hours When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board Have your iron hot but
not sufficiently so to scorch and abso
lutely clean Begin by Ironing the
back then the front sides and the
sleeves followed by the neckband and
the cuffs When wrinkles appear ap
ply the damp cloth and remove them
Always Iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom If there are plaits In
the front Iron them downward after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife and with the edgo of the Iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness After the shirt waist Is
Ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away says the Philadelphia
Inquirer
