weight wrestler OF. the United States,
defeated Hall Adj, "The Terrible
Turk" in jig time at Haughton's
West End Coliseum tonight, winning
two falls in the short space of 16 min
utes. The big Moslem seemed a child
in the hands of the brawny Cleve-
lander, whose dexterity filled the
spectators with amazement. It
seemed almost incredable that so
bulky a man should be so agile.
The ARTICLES of agreement stipulat-
ed that the men should wrestle at
catch-as-catch-can best two out of
three falls, winner to take the entire
purse When time was called Jenkins
began feeling out his man and soon
applied a strangle hold, which the
Turk broke. Then, quick as a flash,
the American secured a leg hold, and
brought the Turk to his knees. Jen.
kins then tried for a hammerlock, but
changed it to a half Nelson and arm
hold, and gradually bore the Turk
down. Time 8 minutes.
Coming together for che second
bout, jenkins came within an in.
fnitesimal margin of securing a flying
fall, but the Turk whirled to his knees

Time 7 minutes.
Jenkins dislocated a finger in gain

Newspapers Owe Apology to Mrs,
Francis Ormond French
of London.

London, March 8-Mrs. Francis Or
mond French, i'll order to correct
impressions conveyed throughout such
portions of the English press as OBJ
tanned their information from IRE
sponsible newspapers regarding the
marriage of her daughter to Alfred
Gwynn Vanderbilt, had sent out
through a London press bureau an
itemized denial of certain erroneous
statements concerning the wedding
ceremony. She denies that the flow
ers cost about 500, 900 and said the
wedding cake did not cost 80, 900
pounds, and it was devoid Of even the
usual sugar devices.
The BRIDES dress, Mrs. French says,

she described as having been equally
modest in his arrangements" Mrs.
French points out that she ''has read
with considerable Distress the mis-
leading reports %concocted by London
or provincial papers and she asks them
to make correction to correspond with
the facts. -,

day passed to it's third reading the
election bill prepared by the demo-
Gratis. It disqualifies a large number
Of voters.
Delegate Buckeye of Frederick coun-
ty, democrat, threw something of a
bombshell into democratic ranks, in
the way of an amendment which, it
adopted, would have nullifed the chief
purpose of the bill, which is to deny
to illiterates any assistance from the
election officers III preparing their bal
lots.
Buckeyes amendment was as fol
lows: Providing, however, that
nothing in the foregoing law shall pre-.
vent any bonifde citizen of the state
of Maryland, having the qualifications
prescribed by the constitution from
receiving such assistance from the
ballot clerks as will enable him tc
give free, independent and manly ex'
preston of his political conviction a,
the ballot box" Buckeye. made 6
speech in support of his amendment.
declaring that the bill under consider
alton is unconstitutional and revolu'
tionary and announcing his intention
to vote against the measure when il
comes up for final passage.
The amendment was defeated by
vote of SO to 26.

LYNCH|NC IN SIGHT
Excited "Hoosiers" Hunting fol
Drunken Perpetrator Of Grim
inal Assault.

Bluffton, Ind, March 8-Kitty De-
Long, the ~17-year-old daughter of Jos.
DeLong, a prominent farmer living
three miles north of this place, was
the victim Of a criminal assault this
afternoon and she now lies at her
fathers home in a critical condition.
Miss DeLong had been to this
place on an errand and was return
ing home when she was attacked hy a
drunken man. She was terribly
bruised and although almost uncon-
scious, two hours later managed to
stagger into her fathers house, when
she fell fainting to the floor. She has
not yet recovered sufficiently from
the shock to enable her to give a de-
scription of her assailant.
The city of Bluffton is wild with
excitement tonight, and hundreds of
citizens are securing the surrounding
country.
AS soon as the news of the assault
was known in Bluffton Sheriff Pres
singer organized a posse for the pur-
pose of finding the assailant. Wires
were sent to the sheriff of Allen coun-
ty for a pack of blood hounds to take
up the trail of the culprit.

SERIOUS RIOT
IN SAN JUAN
TRIVIAL INCIDENT LEADS TO
GRAVE RESULTS.
FOR REPRiMANDING CHILD
School Girl Corrected Starts Stories
That Lead to Attack on
Americans.

San Juan, Porto Rico, March 8-A
serious riot occurred here yesterday.
Five artillerymen and Corporal His
cock charged a mob, fired a volley into
the air and rescued School Superin-
tendent Armstrong, who vas heseiged
in a house by a riotous crowd OF prob
ably 1900 persons, who shouted
.Down with the Americans" and
similar cries.
The excitement originated in a tri-
vial school incident. The superinten-
dent reprimanded a girl Of 10 years of
age for dis~obedience and marched her
to the front from the rear of the
school room. Her dress caught in a
desk aud was torn, and the girl re-
ported to her mother that she had been
kicked and abused. This excited the
girls mother and sensational stories
were related, with the result that
when the school children were dis
missed a number of boys gathered
and paraded the streets. They were
joined by many loafers and full-grown
men. and it became necessary for the
police to escort Superintendent Arm
strong from the school house to his
home.
The superintendent and policemen
were stoned, and as the crowd con-
stantly increased, the Americans
sought refuge Ill the ~Intendencia
building. A number Of persons from
the crowd succeeded in entering the
building, but they were elected by
employees and others.
By 5 O'Clock affairs had assumed
such a threatening aspect that Cover
nor Allen ordered the mayor to dis
perse the members, notifying him to
ask for government assistance if he
needed it. The mayor. however,
paid. no attention to the governor
notification. The city police did not
even attempt to d1sperse the mob.
AT $50 p. N. the offices were
closed and Martin G. Brumbaum, the
commissioner of education of Porto
Rico, asked for police protection Of
his Office in the hotel. A treasury
clerk, who helped eject the rioters
from the Intendencia, was attacked,
stoned and disarmed. by the mob. The
Americans were stoned from roofs
and. entrances. The jnsular police,
who have no jurisdiction in the city,
except III cases of emergency and at
the call of the mayor and the COVER
nor, were not called upon until 6
O'Clock. At that time the artillery
men took the initiative without orders
and dispersed the gathering. In the
meantime the city police had fired
about 100 shots, mostly in the air for
there were no casualties.
At 8 O'Clock last night the city pre-
scented it's usual tranquil appearance.
Up to the hour of filing this dispatch
today there has been no further DEM
onstration.
It is probable that four-ffths of
those that took part in the rioting
did not know why they were mobbing
the Americans. The rioters belonged
to the unemployed workmen OF the
population.

FOR ITS REDEMPTION
Broderick Outlines His Plans Con-
corning Reorganization Of
English Army.

London, March 8-Broderick pro-
poses to arm the volunteer and militia
artillery with field and position guns
of modern pattern and to raise five
more battalions for garrison duty and
to transfer ga%rrisoning of coal stations
to the admiralty. He will not in
crease the pay of the soldiers, but will
devote more time to manoeuveres and
less to barrack square drills. Under
the new scheme the army for home
defense will consist Of 155, 900 regu-
lars, 100, 900 reserves, 100, 900 mill
tia, %, 900 yeomanry and 100000 vol
unteeis.
On the advice of Lord Roberts COM
manders of army corps will be ap-
pointed for three years only, instead
of five, so that he may be able to re-
place them if they prove inefficient.
Broderick has emphasized the deter
mination Of the war Office that only
officers proved fit to command in war
should have appointments. he said

MORE OFFENSES ADDED
Senate Ratifies Supplemental Elk
tradition Treaty with
Great Britain.

Washington, March 8-The senate
in executive session today confirmed
the supplemental %extradition treaty
with Great Britain, which has been
pending for some time.
The treaty adds to the list of crimes
for which a man can he extradited
from one country to another the fol-
lowing: Obtaining money under false
pretenses; destruction or obstruction
of railroads; endangering of human
life and the procuring of abortions.
The treaty was not discussed at any
length, but Senator Mason asked sew
eral questions about it. He pointed
out that the inclusion of the crime of
obtaining money upon false represen-
tation might prove a dangerous ex-
pertinent. He suggested that cases
might arise under which a person
might be extradited for ordinary
debts.
Senator Lodge replied that most of
our treaties with other countries con-
tain provision similar to this and said
iG was to be presumed that the usual
precautions to guard against injustice
would be taken.
The vote upon ratification was 40
to Is.
Effort was made to secure action on
the supplemental treaty tending to
ratification of the French reciprocity
agreement, but it was frustrated by q
motion to return to legislative session,
made by Senator Aldrich.
