WRESTLER JENKINS LOST.
of Baltimore. Stayed the
Required Time and Won Forfeit.

The star wrestling match of the week,
and one OF the best ever seen here was
the bout which came off last night on
Kernan's Lyceum stage after the regular
performance.
The contestants were Tom Jenkins,
champion heavyweight wrestler of Amer
lea, and Burlingame, the champion of
Maryland. The latter stayed the required
time and won
The conditions announced by Manager
Burke were that if jenkins failed to
throw his man in fifteen minutes he
would forfeit So, strangle hold and dou-
BILE Nelson barred and pin falls TO count.
Both men are of the heavy. massive
style of frame. and their work, as a re-
suit, was slow and deliberate. After sew
eral minutes of caution and watching,
Jenkins got a hold and got his opponent
to the mat, and then the real work of
the giants began. All sorts of holds were
tried by Jenkins, from the half Nelson
to half crotch, bridges" and under
holds" but all failed to do the work, and
many times both squirmed out of close
positions.
Jenkins for the most part was on the
defensive, and half-locks and body and
leg holds awaited him nothing. for the
brawny Burlingame knew all the tricks
and was master of them. Not second
was lost for wind, and both men were
nearly exhausted when the full time of
fifteen minutes was announced and Bur-
lingame had won the forfeit. Last nights
bout was a duplicate of the one in Balti-
more last week, when jenkins also for
feted.
In the big audience was large delega-
tion of rooters who came over from Bal
timore to see their fayorite on the mat.

minutes.

TO FORM NATIONAL

"Afflliation Scheme" Meets a
Decidedly Cool Reception.
Many Northern Clubs to Participate

resentative Association.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Afiliation as a
solution of the problem of a national or
ganization was formally dropped at a
meeting of the board of governors Of the
Automobile Club of America yesterday
afternoon. The plan for a national rep
resentative association was adopted in
stead.
New York in 1t.
The formal suggestion of the New York
Island, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and
Chicago clubs join with it in call for a
convention to meet at Chicago during the
automobile show there the first week in
March. The business of that convention
will be the formation of national asso-
citation.
Whether the proposed national body
shall be made uD of clubs alone or of
clubs and individuals, after the plan of
the League of American Wheelmen, will
be decided at the convention. The gener-
al opinion Of those concerned seems to
be that the clubs should be given repre-
sentatiOn according to their membership.
Not in Favor.
1.-THE affiliation scheme has not met
with cordial RESPONSE" said Mr.. A. R.
Shattuck, president of the Automobile
Club of America, after the meeting, land
We now stand ready to cooperate in the
formation Of a national association, and
will send delegates to Chicago, if the
convention be held there"
The governors of the club at yesterdays
meeting decided to offer medal for the
mounted policeman who during the year
shall have proved most meritorious in
stopping runaway horses.

eignty-General Chnfce Says Re-
lentIess War Must BE Waged.

Major General Chaffee, commanding the
well as every officer of the army who has
seen service in the archipelago, has come
to the conclusion that strenuous meas
ures should be taken to exterminate the
secret society of the Filipinos, called
Katipunan, which means, in the language
of the natives: Sovereign and Venerable
Association of the Sons of the People"
Torture NOn-COmbatants.
The last mail from the Philippines
brought to the War Department the rec
ords of the trial by a military court of
four natives. members of the Katipunan,
who came down from the hills of Luzon,
bearing commissions as representatives of
the insurgent chieftain Naxario Vale.
Backed by thirty followers, all members
of this secret society. they killed by bo-
loing. by burning alive, and other cruel
and unnatural means, droves of their fell
low-countrymen and women, who were
living in peace, and who had accepted the
sovereignty of the United States.
They were caught, tried by military
courts and sentenced to be hanged.
Systematic TerrorizinS.
General Chaffee, the reviewing author
ity, has committed the sentence TO I'M
prisonment for life, but says:
This case is but an example of lnapy
others where commissioners have been
sent forth by the Katipunan chiefs, with
instructions to terroriZe peaceful COM
munities into taking the oath of the kati-
punan Society, aud Joining hands with the
so-called guerrilla, but now degenerate,
hands whose chief occupation is robbery,
enforced by murder and assassination of
their own PEOPLE.
Patriotism long since ceased to be
the guiding motive Of these bands. The
number of men and women who have been
destroyed under the guise of making war
upon the American forces now reaches
high into the hundreds and the work Of
these cowardly assassins, now misnamed

II deny all the allegations made by

He cannot produce any evidence that
there was a deal, whereby the result Of

mined.
"Erne is a coward, and he is now try
ing to shield himself. Erne knows he is
no longer competent to defend the title

IF Erne is afraid to go to Baltimore
even under these liberal conditions, will
let Cans fight him before the Fort Erie

make the same or better offer.

Il will put up forfeit of $1,000, wheth-

same. Whether Erne consents to make
this match or not, I claim the title of

against any lightweight in the world.
'Erne did not forfeit 800 by his disap-
pearance Monday night, as he never put
up a dollar, though Cans posted his
money. The Penn Athletic Club made
good from its own funds the proportion
of the money due me from the money
Erne should have posted.
