CARNIVAL OF SPORTS
For the Maine Monument Fund
Raises $4,000.

New York, March 26.-The carnival of
sports given at Madison Square Garden
IN aid of the fund for the erection of a
monument to the martyrs of the battle
ship Maine was a brilliant success in
every sense of the word and as a result
several thousand dollars will be added
to the already large total.
Aside from the purpose of the enter
tainment and the patriotic feeling to
which it appealed, the programme
which had been arranged was enough
to pack the immense amphitheatre. The
very pick of the athletic champions, am
ateur and professional, were present
and appeared in the various events As
a result the Garden was crowded to its
utmost capacity both in the afternoon
and evening.
From all sources the benefit should
net the monument fund close to SO 900.
Among the galaxy of prominent cham
piOns who helped to make the affair a
success were Jimmy Michael. Bob Fitz-
simmons, Ernest Roeber, John L. Sulli-
van, Earl Kiser, Ernest Hjertbert, Tom
Linton, GOugOltz and Lamberjack, Is
mael Yousoff and Major Taylor.

YEAROUT WITHDRAWS.
Retires From the Congressional Rae,
in Favor of John Madden.

IN Favor OF j Ohm Madden.
P. F. Yearout, editor of the Emporia
Times, has declined to be a candidate
for congress in the Fourth district and
has retired from the race in favor of
John Madden. Mr.. Yearout was in To-
peza today on business. Upon being
asked for an opinion Of the situation in
the Fourth he said:
AT the present time things seem to
indicate that John Madden will be NOM
mated and elected OF course there has
been considerable talk among the Dem
ocrats about the nomination of H. S.
Martin of Marion but in my opinion
Mr.. Madden will be nominated and the
Democrats will support him"
"A friend OF Mr.. HearOut, who was sit
ting near said: John Madden is enti-
tied to the nomination, because of the
excellent campaign which he made two
years ago"
mo. don't believe in that theory"
replied Mr. Yearout- i think if the
people want to renominate a man who
has once made the race, that is all
right, but 1 @@ opposed to the theory
that because a man is once nominated
and then defeated that he should be
given a second trial The selection of
candidates should be left in the hands
Of the people who elect delegates to
the people will be represented by the
candidates without regard to the per-
sOnal opinions which the candidates
may hold of themselves.
I believe that the people of the
Fourth district want Mr.. Madden to
run again and believe that he is the
man for the nomination. He is a good
lawyer, a good campaigner and an ex-
celIent man. No mistake would be
made in sending him to congress-"
