Dizziness in Business.

An epidemic of ultra conservatism"
IL the way Dun's review character
ICES the present dizziness in business.
This would indicate that conservatism
has been pushed so far that it amounts
to a disease.
The iron Age does not think that
business men generally are acting IN
wisely in exercising caution. 1t does
not believe that they are Influenced
largely by the theory that season of
depression must come every ten years.
1t thinks IL but natural that men buy
cOnservatively when prices show a
downward tendency. OF the iron and
metal trades the Iron Age says:
But it would be idle TO claim that
business has increased in the iron
trade or that the immediate outlook is
perceptibly better. On the contrary,
some branches which have been active
with the spring business have been
falling off, and the independent mills,
notably in the wire industry, are cut
ting to keep running fully. The tin
plate mills are very busy, the leading
interest having 90 TO 90 per cent Of the
capacity at work. The sheet interest is
less favorably placed, and concessions
are being freely made. During the
spring e. per cent of the capacity Of
the consolidated works was operating.
Now it has dropped to 53 to 81 per
cent.

Tuesday night and robbed of SO in

the other kicking him because he
made an cutlery. They snatched the
pocketbook and after removing the
money threw the purse on the plat

HE SEEKS INFORMATION
PIERCE ASKS TITUS TO EXPLAIN
MORE FULLY HIS. CHALLENGE
FOR CHECKER MATCH.
To the Editor Of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal.
note that Bert Titus has published an
other article in T h e urn al relative
to playing checker match with myself:
I can but liken this to the light of
mouse wrigglng in vain, to extricate itself
from trap. I beg to presume that Mr..
Titus many recent successes at stimuli
taneous blindfolded play at the Chamber
Of Commerce have expanded his Uranium.
That he should play from five to ten
opponents at one time blindfolded is a
feat duplicated by Pillsbury upon several
occasions
Titus may win more games than Pills
bury, or lose less, but 1t must be cOnsd-
cred that chess is Pillsbury's forte, while
Titus has made a profession of checkers.
Titus may be the best blindfolded player
in America, but Willie Gardner Of Leeds,
England, has eclipsed his achievements
by far. and has often contested twelve and
fifteen games simultaneously blindfolded.
Mr.. Titus says:
1.-The question Is will Mr.. Pierce play
a match of thirty games, playing four
games a day. with play to commence at
p. m. on each consecutive day?
| eff he will. he can play with eleven,
twelve or thirteen men on a side, and
name his own style or system of making
the openings"
AS Mr.. Titus previously refers to play
ing for the championship, wish he would
explain what championship. Does he re-
fer to the local championship, state cham
pionship or northwestern championship?
Will he post forfeit with T h e u r.
n a l on his proposition as given above,
and play the match with any checker
player northwest of Chicago?
Personally I concede the fact that there
are as good and quicker players in the
state than myself. and am in a position
to say that should Mr.. Titus make ''good"
on the above proposition he will have no
difficulty in getting on a match with one
Of the best checker players in Minnesota

Madison, Wis, March 24.-Gordon
Lewis, captain of the University Of

tacitly admitted at Madison, and by
authoritative persons connected with

Coach Utley Of Michigan knows this
to be true, for, it is said. he organized
the team upon which Captain Lewis
played the paid game as alleged.
Coupled with this admission is the
question:
explicit charges Of professionalism
against any Wisconsin athlete?"
This situation is probably unique in
the history of western intercollegiate
athletics. Probably never before has
it been admitted that professionalism
prevails in a university athletic team,
coupled with dare or defiance for
any opponent in the intercollegiate
amateur conference to prefer formal
charges.
The secret of this remarkable stu

authorities at Madison of information
