PLUCKY JOE GRIM
Stands Before Fitzsimmons for Six
Tough Rounds.

Philadelphia, Oct. 14.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons, tonight, failed to knock out Joe
Grim in the scheduled six rounds. The
pucky Italian, who has met many good
fighters and never been knocked out,
was given severe punishment by Fitz-
simmons and was knocked down many
times, but was on his feet at the end
of the bout.
Grim was down 20 times all told, in
GLIDING one accidental fall, one slip out
of the ring and some half dozen falls
to avoid punishment. The others were
square knockdowns and it must be said
to Grims credit that very few other
boxers could have taken these blows
and show so little effect from them.

NEW JURY TO LOOK
AFTER "GRAFT|NG"
Public Inquisitors viii Hold
Their First Session Today
indictments Expected.

The November grand jury will as
semble today and Judge Simpson, who
Is to hear the criminal cases. Is ex-
pected to appoint the foreman and de-
liver his charge. The indictments in
Jail cases were kept we'll up to date
by the preceding grand jury, so the in
vestigation of municipal grating is a
subject likely to come up for almost
immediate investigation.
Whether the jury is going to act on
the suggestion that 1t continue the
work of the September jury, and fol-
low its recommendations as to indict-
ments limited at, Is a matter of con-
lecture.
1t Is known that the retiring jury
was not a unit as to what should be
done in this respect, and there was
some opposition to the vigorous Ian
guage that was used as to the preva-
lence of grating in the city council.
The following is the grand jury as
drawn: r. w. Munzer, j. H. Win

MAY HAVE TO SEND
SEGAL TO ASYLUM
His Mind Is Still Unbalanced, Though
He Is Not Violent.

Louis Segal. who was struck upon
the head with a hammer over a month
ago, as a result Of which he has since
been at the city hospital suffering
from conclusion Of the brain and sub
sequent effects. has developed an odd
mental condition. Though at first he
raved violently he has recently become
docile, and is now much given to lee
turing on social conditions.
Having at one time been a resident
of Russia, his favorite theme is free
dom, and he is in the habit of ha-
ranguing for hours on the blessings Of
liberty. He sits in his bed where he
is confined and shouts about the rights
Of man and the wrongs Of oppressors
much the same as do the demagogues
Of the stump.
While discussing his favorite topic
Saturday he became angry at his ina
bility to arouse any enthusiasm in the
occupant Of the bed next to that which
he occupies, and to emphasize an argu-
ment he seized a number Of dishes
and hurled them at the uninterested
neighbor.
Segal has been kept at the hospital
in the hopes that he might show signs
of Improvement, but as his mind con-
tinues to remain unbalanced the hos
pital authorities think it may be neces-
sary to send him to an asylum.

CONTRASTS CHURCH'S
POWER AND INFLUENCE
Utilization of All Good Agencies Would
Transform the World.

"The Influence of the Church Con-
trasted With It's Power was the topic
of Rev. George N. Wakely's address at
Knox Presbyterian church yesterday
morning. He said in part:
Power is resource. Influence is re-
source in use. The water power of Mag
ara Is the whole resource of the mighty
cataract. It's influence is only that portion
of the power which is utilized. The ca
paclty OF an engine or machine is it's
power. The work which it actually ac-
compl1shes is it's influence. A persons
ability to do is his power. What he really
does is his influence.
The power of the church is infinite.
Its resource is the Holy Ghost God wants
the church's influence to be great He
has given it a great work. He has told
the church to eVangelize the world. This
involves a conservation of life to Him, a
cultivation of all the Christian virtues a
thorough preparation by learning the truth
of God and the nature and conditions of
al people on earth, and great sacrifice and
woman and child. He has told the church
to teach all that He has revealed This
involves an immense amount of study to
learn all that the Bible teaches, much
planning and conference and training to
secure the best methods of teaching, and
earnest work to bring all to the schools
of instruction. God has given us the world
and human nature in crude form and told
plication of the means of grace, work
which is appalling both in its magnitude
and in its nature.
'FWhat has been the influence of the
church? To what extent has 1t accom-
plished its mission? After nearly two
thousand years we find the gospel taken
to about one-third of the worlds inhabit-
ants, to many Of these inadequately,
suffering, poverty, sickness and sorrow
have been to some extent alleviated; .edu-
cation civilization and refinement have
been increased; science, art and industry
have been promoted; wealth has been in
creased; the general condition of morals
improved evils have been curtailed.
"If the church should transform all of
its power into influence, using all its
members, all its energy, all its money,
privileges and means Of grace, all its di-
vine power, this whole world would soon
be Transformed -

FALLS FORTY FEET
Young Man Badly Injured at
New Arcade Bridge.

Albert G. Hoefer, 795 East Fourth
street. was seriously injured yester-
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock by fall
ing from a beam Of the new Arcade
street bridge which he was attempting
to cross. Hoefer and Ed Strong, a
companion, bantered each other to walk
a beam from one end of the bridge
to the other, and when in the middle Of
the unfinished structure Hoefer lost his
balance and fell a distance Of forty
feet to the railroad tracks below.
After turning somersault in the air
Hoefer struck the ground on his left
side. His left leg was broken at the
hip and ankle, and he Is in a serious
condition, and it is feared that he also
sustained internal injuries. The frac-
ture at the hip Is Of peculiarly seri-
GUS nature.
The bridge from which Hoefer fell
is half covered with flooring, the cross
beams having been already placed up
on supports. The bridge is shut off
with barricades at each end, and sig
nails warn the public to keep off. Hoe
fer and Strong, however, took the risk
of crossing the structure for sport.
Hoefer Is twenty-seven years old and
unmarried. He is employed as ma
chinist by the Theo. Hamm Brewing
company.

y The German American Veterans as
ISOLATION met yesterday afternoon at
Royal Legion hall, Sixth and Washing
ton streets, where the members were
entertained by a well arranged pro-
gramme of addresses, music and reel
tations.

arranged for a time when it confiicted
with the services at the new armory,
where there was a corner stone laying,
yet regardless of this a large number
of veterans were present, many of
them accompanied by their wives and
families.
The principal address was by Rev.
Carl Koch, who spoke of the impor-
lance of the soldier in making the his
tory of country In this respect, the
speaker thought, America was the most
fortunate of any country in the entire
world. The history of the American
soldier and the wars participated in by
him would be a credit to any country.
Col. A. r. Kiefer also made few
remarks which were full Of interest to
the old veterans.
There was a recitation by Dora Hen
ringer and songs by the SchaeIgen
family.
