TOM JENKINS THROWS
HUSKY DAN M'LEOD
1t Required Over Twenty-Five
Minutes to Put Canadians
Shoulders to Mat

New York, Dec. 2S-It was a parti-
san crowd which greeted Tom jenkins
when he entered the Madison Square
Garden enclosure last night TO wrestle
Dan Mcleod, the husky Canadian for
supremacy in catch-as-catch-can
match
Fred Taral and Winnie Connor. we'll
known jockeys. held the watches in the
respective corners. Tim Hurst acted
as referee.
The men chased each other about for
a fun minute. and then Mcleod went
to the mat. Jenkins assuming the ag-
gresslve. The positions were soon re-
versed. For a time again the Canadian
was the aggressor. He was very clev-
or. but the Cleveland man brideed time
and again and one after another broke
the best holds of the visitor.
Mcleod continued TO force the wrest-
ling until a sudden failure at the half
Nelson put him on the defensive. Both
men were breathing hard by this time,
but at last Mcleod. by sheer strength
and using the strange" hold scored
the first fan. 1t required minutes
and 50 seconds TO turn the trick.
After ten-minute rest the work was
resumed. Mcleod was sent TO the
floor when Jenkins tried for the ham,
merlock. Jenkins cleverly broke an
attempted neck hold by Mcleod, and
after a bit of neck wrestling Jenkins
went to the floor. The Cleveland mar
easily broke free from the double les
and crotch hold, pivoting out of dan.
! ger. Jenkins was continually on th'
defensive and broke hold after hold
many Of which looked like 'sur'
things" and then he gained the fan OF
"a roll and bar lock-"
1t required p minutes and % seconds
to put McLeod's shoulders TO the mat
When Jenkins and Mcleod got to
gether for their third encounter thel
waltzed about near the edge Of thl
mat for a time. until Jenkins was pu
down and Mcleod became the aggres
sor. Both men again and again gained
and broke dangerous holds Suddenll
Mcleod strove for a hammerlock hold
but slipped and his left foot sliding on
from under him. Jenkins rolled hin
over for the third and decisive fall Tn
time was 10 minutes 30 seconds.

WOULD REARRAHGE
STARS ON OUR FLAG
Representative Shafroth Has
New System to Identity
Each Ono

Washington, Dec. 23.-Represcntative
John +. Shafroth OF Colorado is the
author Of a bill now pending in the
House which proposes a realrange-
ment of the field Of stars on the United
States flag.
His idea is to make the system so
complete that each star, by its posi-
t!on in the field can be identified for
the State It represents. The bill also
prescribes the size of the field, which
shall be square and one-third of the to-
tai fly Of the flag. For instance, on q
fag measuring G3 inches in length the
field would be p inches square. Mr..
Shs sfroth's plan is as follows;
That the stars representing the thir-
ten original States shall be placed on
q circle within said field; that the stars
representing 80 Of the admitted States
shall form an interior star within the
circle of 13 stars representing the l3
original States, with stars to each
arm; that the stars representing the
last two admitted States-Wyoming
and Utah-shall be placed temporarily
on a straight line. one on each side of
the centre of the interior star; that
,Ipon the admission Of an additional
state the three stars in the centre of
the interior star shall form an equilat-
eral triangle. with the centre of the in
| terror star as the centre of said trian-
gle; that upon the admission of two
additional States the four stars in the
centre of the interior star shall form
a square, with the centre of the interior
star as the centre of said square.
The provisions of the bin go still far
ther into the future and detail the ar
rangement Of the stars when eight ol
more States shall have been added e
the Union. II is provided that mas
much as the country owes its existence
as a nation to the valor, the achieve
ments, the craftsmanship of the origi
nal States, in recognition of this obi
cation the stars representing the orig
inal States shall be greater in them
selves than those of the admitted
States.
The bill was referred to the Commit
tee on the Judiciary and may come VI
later in the season.

BURNESS LAUGHED
At MURDER VERDICT
Wished Jury Who Convicted
Him of Crime A Merry
Christmas

rev furk. Dec k5.-witn a verdict
that lends Frank II. Burness. a self
confessed murderer. to the electric
chair a jury before Judge Crane ended
one =, the most sensational murder
trials heard In Brooklyn for months.
Burness' fourth murder was committed
on November 10 last when he shot
Captain George B. Townsend. Of the
schooner Charles K. Buckley. because
the latter would not pay him $3.50 the
prisoner alleged to be due him. This
and other killings were calmly describ-
ed by Bnrness on the witness-stand.
and the murderer insisted that he did
the deed with premeditation and in a
full realization Of the consequences.
The jury brought IN a verdict OF
murder In the first degree. Burmese
smiled broadly when the jury was
being polled. Judge Crane said he
would sentence Burmese on Monday,
and the prisoner asked the judge n he
would be permitted 70 say something
On being given the privilege, he said;

Toxic. Dec. 2S.--It is asserted in Off

ply to Russia rejects the fundementa
points at issue, which are understood
to include mutual guarantees for th'
preservation Of Chinese and Corear
sovereignty. while securing their indi
vidual interests. The situation Il
graver than since the commencement

ceptible to a pacific solution II Russii
will quickly reconsider her reply.
The fact that Foreign Minister Ko
mura called on Baron De Rosen, th'
Russian minister, instead Of Baron ID
Rosen calling on Komura, is explained
by the fact that the baron is suffering
from an ear affection. But the explana
ton has obvious diplomatic signih

There.issnQ,mention Of crowns before
the eighths century after Christ. The
crown really did not become the head
covering Of kings until the times Of the
Christian rulers after the might and
power Of pagan Rome were broken.
Before those days the browning was
done with a helmet. This change in the
method Of browning the rulers is typ
ical Of the changes that occurred in
the spirit that animated nations and
races In the selection of their kings.
The first kings and chiefs, after the
world had emerged from the patri-
archal forms. of government, were Sc
lected almost altogether for their
prominence as leaders in war. Thus.
gradually, the chief Of the army be-
came the chief Of the nation. Almost
all the ancient kings were military
despots. Then, with the prevalence Of
Christianity and the overthrow Of the
old governments, came the new rulers
who claimed to rule by divine right.
They, too, were almost all military
despots, especially in the beginning,
but the world had progressed far
enough to demand more proof Of au-
thority to rule than mere brute power.
