DR.. A. c. SCHELL RESIGNS.
Surrenders the General Se~cretaryship
of the EpwOrth League.

CINCINNATI, Nov. "a. - The Epworth
League disturbances over the official con-
duct of its secretary. the Rev. Edwin A.
Schell, ID. d., was suddenly terminated to-
day by his own act in rendering his resigna-
ton to the board of control. This was
done after" the board, with but one dissent
ing vote. had adopted the report OF a COM
mittee in these words:
find the Epworth League to be in
a state OF unrest by reason OF the agitation
over the official conduct Of General Secre-
tary Edwin A. Schell, D.. d. This unrest
seems to be due in part to the serious off,
cial wrong of the secretary himself, in part
10 the misconception of the action of the
board of control at its meeting in Indian
apoliS, caused by the reading into its state
ment of a serious official wrong, a moral
Judgment which IL did not express and had
no authority to express, and in part 10
arrangements and criticisms based upon fly
ing rumors of irresponsible parties, unsup-
ported by proper evidence, whose currency
has been fitted to mislead and defeat, rather
than 10 promote, the ends of truth and
justice"
Regarding himself indicated by this
declaration, DR.. Schell rendered his resigna-
ton, and it was accepted with regret and
with an expression of admiration for his
"meekness of spirit, energy, resourceful
ness and marked ability"
After ACCEPTING the RESIGNATION of DR.. Ed,
win A. Scheli, of Chicago, the board OF
control met later in the afternoon and
elected Rev. Wilbur p. Tnirkfeld, d. D.,
president of Cannon Theological Seminary
at Atlanta, as the successor of DR.. Schel
as secretary Of the Epworth League. DIR,
Thirkield is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan
University and also of Boston Theological

a hurricane half mile in his endeavor to
keep his loss down to two laps. For seven
hours and twenty minutes, the terrible

anguish he felt. During the closing hours
he asked to have a doctor called to exam
ire his shoulder. but his handlers secured
some medicine and applied it after half car

Lawson finished the regular race at $3.50,
third from the front. and a few minutes
later. although suffering with severe pain,
mounted a 1S0-Dound motor tandem with a
mate and steered ii for an additional half
hour. 1t was not until midnight that a ply

discovery that the collar bone was broken
was made In his racing career Lawson has

rather a different face on the conflict. This

COFFEE O COOLED
TOMMY WES TAKES HIS MEASURE
IN FOURTEEN FAST ROUNDS.
The COIored Boy Unable to Stand the
Punching-JOe Cans Does Up Steve
Crosby in a Very Tame Fight.

NEW YORK. Nov. A.-Tommy West was
given the decision over Frank Craig. known
as the Harlem Coffee Cooler, at the end
of the fourteenth round of what was TO
have been a twenty-fvetround bout at
at catch weights. before the Broadway Ath-
letic Club. tonight. West had the better
of the bout from start TO finish n in the
fourteenth round he knocked Craig down
and punished him so severely that the
referee stopped the bout and declared West
the winner.
Neither man did much in the first round.
Craig got in a good-left to the face in the
second, but received two stiff blows in the
jaw in return. In the third and fourth West
rushed his man to the ropes. but could not
land. Craig fought cautiously on the de-
fensive. They clinched in the fifth and a
left 5ab to the face made Craig stagger
and West bored in with another jab in the
face and a hard right jolt to the body.
They clinched twice in the sixth and then
West jabbed left to the face, cutting Craig's
eye and followed with a right to the body.
Craig responded with right hooks to the
head in the clinches. West continued his
forcing tactics and beat Craig terribly about
the body. In the seventh Craig missed a

left to head. Craig was cautioned for hit
ting in the clinch which followed and West
bored in with short left hooks to the body.
In the eighth Craig outgeneraled West and
placed a hard left over the heart. West,
after the breakaway, got inside the col
ored mans right swing and sent his left
straight to the face.
The ninth round was sensational. West
got to Craig's face and in q half clinch
each landed hard rights over the kidneys.
A hot mix-up followed. in which West sent
his right to Craig's nose, staggering him,
and then he went at the colored man. put
ting him to the floor witt a right. 1t looked
as If Craig wanted TO quit in the tenth
round. After a stiff exchange in a clinch
West had his elbow up to the colored mans
throat. Craig protested. but without result.
The negro had the worst of the battle at
the bell. The eleventh, twelfth and thir-
teenth rounds were Vests. Craig staggered
several times and clinched TO save himself.
In the fourteenth Craig's legs failed to sup
port him and West began to swing on his
face. The colored man went down four
times from blows and as many times from
exhaustion. Referee White, seeing that the
big fellow had no chance to win, stopped
the bout and awarded the fight to West.

A BUSINESS MANS VIEW.
Life Insurance as Seen by One Who
Has Lots Of 1t and Good Rea-
sons for Having 1t.

Among the speakers at a recent banquet
of life insurance men in Chicago was Mr..
Harlow ~. Higinbotham, a gentleman of
whom 1t is currently reported that he car
ries more life insurance than anybody else
in Chicago, the sum total of his policies
being placed at 100000. He is a leading
member of the ~well-known firm Of Mar
shall Field & Co, and is probably even
better known as having been president of
the Chicago Columbian Exposition. In
the course of his remarks Mr.. Higin-
botham said: THE home is the cynosure
of every mans affections. He is the chief
cornerstone of the housenoid, the sup
porter of the wife and the hope of the
children who have blessed him. Often
death comes before IL is expected and
sometimes its bitterest pang is the knowl-
protected. Here is where life insurance
comes into protect after the producer
has gone. Then there is another feature
of insurance. the providing for old age. 1t
has been said that 80 per cent. OF those
who seem to prosper fairly in their lives
die paupers at the close. Old men have no
longer liberation in this world. The busi-
ness world has no further use for them.
The auage that a man is no older than he
feels rings false. Men are no longer cur
rent at this valuation. People realize the
fact for others long before they are will
ing to admit il for themselves. Their chill
dren are ready to care for themselves. but
the man himself has growing needs. Hap
nv Is he who with wise forethought has
converted som of the earnings which
came and went so freely into an endow-
ment large enough to provide for the re-
ouirements OF his declining years
There is a real retroactive benefit TO a
mans business growing out of the knowl-
edge that he carries a reasonably ade-
auate line of life insurance, Credit is a
necessity 10 him-rext 10 capitai-and con-
fdence is an essential OF credit. The man
who extends cre.lt looks for integrity. the
intention to DISCHARGE liabilities and a
good line of life insurance strengthens his
he future. Judgment is sought for. and
the provision for the future furnished by
life Insurance is assurance OF good Judg-
ment."

Cans Defeats Crosby.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Joe Cans, the colored
lightweight Of Baltimore, was given the
decision over Steve Crosby, colored, OF
Louisville. at the end Of a six-round bout
here tonight. The fight was a very tame
one after the first round, which resembled
a wrestling match a great deal more thar
a boxing contest. Cans clearly outclassed
Crosby. but was unable to do much dam
age. as the latter, when not holding the Bal
timore man around the waist, was cr~ouchine
so low that the audience in the gallery
thought he was on his hands and knees.

tire distance, with Dougherty having a

statement:
five hundred cases, in various stages, of

A Heavy Door Smashed His Hand at
Janesville, Wis.

GAINESVILLE, Wis. Nov. A.-Bob FitZ-
simmons met with a serious accident here
yesterday. which may seriously affect his
ring career. He was entering the Hotel
Myers by the front door. The door is a
heavy oak one, and has a strong spring to
keep it closed. He reached out behind him,
thinking to close the door, when ii closed on
his hand with a crush. He gave a yell. and
bystanders rushed to pull the door open.
Several guests at the house who stood by
when the hand was extricated are certain
the bones between the wrist joint and
knuckles were broken 1t bled profusely.
The ex-champion was taken to DIR. Kings,
and no one was allowed in the doctors office
while the hand was being bandaged. Fitz-
simmons was about the city nearly all day
with his bandaged hand. Members of his
company are reticent as to the extent OF
the injury.
