IMPORT RECORDS
BEATEN

NEW YORK, June 30.-The gov
eminent fiscal year which ended to-
day has been a mountaineering one
as regards the value of imports enter
ing the port of New York Although
the complete figures have not yet
been compiled it is known that the
imports for the last IL months ex-
coed by nearly $5O.00O,00O the entries
of last year.
1t is regarded as significant of the
general prosperity of the country
that many of the most notable in
creases in imports at New York are
In the direction of luxuries, such as
diamonds, automobiles, fine laces and
similar articles.
Two of the lines showing phenome-
nal increases this year are sugar and
precious stones, which in the aggre-
gate are greater by $30,OOO.OOO than
were the same imports one year ago.
The entries of cigars at this port dur
ing the fiscal year have been far
greater than was the case one year
ago. Passengers baggage has yield
ed an unusually large revenue to the
treasury, as have liquors and wines.
Textiles of every kind have been lib
orally imported, something like
$S,000,000 alone being invested in
expensive ST. Gall, or Swiss, embroid-
cries. Many other imports have made
gains with the result that the total
imports at the local custom house
for this fiscal year approximate $685.
100000, as compared with $599,90o,-

considered, customs officials say the
year has been the most prosperous
so far as imports are concerned in
the history of the port of New York.

CELEBRATION OF
KINGS BIRTHDAY

LONDON, June 30.--King Edwards
birthday was officially celebrated to-
day. The kings real birthday is on
November 8, but as everybody IL
away from London at that time of
year, scattered at the shooting lodges
in Scotland. at country houses in
England, or else on the Continent, an
other date is always selected by him
for the celebration of his birthday
during the London season. Today's
celebration, however, was limited to
the British isles. In all other parts
of the empire the day is celebrated
on the actual anniversary.
The genuine affection with which
the British people regard their SOW
ereign was evidence as always in the
keeping of a general holiday and the
suspension of business. The towns
throughout the kingdom were gaily
decorated and the shipping at the va
rious ports made a liberal display of
bunting. The day was observed at all
the home military and naval stations
with parades and salutes.
The chief feature of the London
celebration was the ceremony of
"trooping the colors'' on the Horse
Guards parade. Thousands of per-
sons lined the Whitehall route and
cheered his majesty as the royal pro-
cession passed on it's way from Buck
ingham palace to the scene of the
ceremony. Stands covered with GRIM
son cloth were erected about the pa
rade and were occupied by thousands
of privileged spectators, including the
new United States ambassador,
Whitelaw Reid, his wife and daugh-
ter The king was greeted with loud
applause as he made his appearance
with a brilliant escort that included
many notables. The troops taking
part in the ceremonies were the
Grenadier Guards, Scots Guards, Irish
Guards and Life Guards. After an
inspection of the troops and the pre-
sentation of the colors, the cere-
monies ended with a review of all
the troops on the ground.

FOOLISH QUARREL STOPS GAME
Row Between Dempsey and Mitchell
Closed Chicago to Fighters.

| CHICAGO, Jan. 27-It is claimed
that a COW kicking over lantern
started the Chicago fire. Whether this
is historical truth or not it is fact
| nevertheless that just as little things
as upsetting a lantern have caused no
small amount of trouble in the sporting
world A row over almost nothing be-
tween Jack Dempsey and Charley
Mitchell in the old days stopped boxing
in Chicago.
Fifteen years ago when the game
was at it's heighth in Chicago, and
was doing we'll, there arose a petty
quarrel between Parson Davies ana
Jack Dempsey. It did not look serious
at first, but finally when Pat Sneedy
! got into the game and sided with
Dempsey, Mayor Harrison was forced
| to take a hand in it and close down.
| The trouble arose when Mitchell
and Burke fought. 1t was at old Bat
terry D., and Jack Dempsey and John
l.. Sullivan were in town that day.
| There mad been bad blood between
Mitchell and Dempsey for some time
and by the narrowest margin a bar
room fight was averted between the
pair in San Francisco.
Dempsey gave it out cold that he
| would jump on the stage and challenge
Mitchell that night in the ring. When
running this show, and Dempsey will
not get on that stage without first
asking me and getting my consent. If
he does. I will have him thrown off," :
Of course, when Jack heard this he
frothed at the mouth and declared ne
would get on the stage anyway, no
matter what Davies said. That night
when Dempsey entered the building,
Inspector Shea (now dead called
Dempsey aside and said:
Jack, they tell me you are going
to create trouble here tonight by chal-
longing Mitchell. I am going to forbid
you to get on that stage, and if you do
I'll throw you out in the street
That had a quieting effect on Demp-
sey for the time being. and he and Sui
Ivan sat with long drawn faces while
Mitchell and Burke battled. Dempsey
the next morning sought Mitchell, and
found him in Parson Davies Office. A
wordy war ensued, and finally, losing

all control of himself, Mitchell
grabbed Dempsey by the shoulder and
asked Davies and Billy Branburn to
leave the office and lock the door.
Davies, however, would not allow the
impromptu fight to take place, and
separated the men. Then Mitchell
agreed to knock Dempsey out in eight
rounds, or If he failed, to fight him to
a finish with skin gloves, for as much
money as Dempsey cared to battle for.
why don't you fight me to finish
now" asked Jack.
Because replied Mitchell, Il am
an Englishman, and you are the popu-
lar fighter of this country, and the
gang around that ring would cut the
ropes and everything else if they saw
1 was winning. I would be beaten be-
fore even we entered the ring"
Dempsey, however, declared Mitchell
would get protection, but Charlie was
too cunning to agree to a finish fight.
Then they agreed to fight eight rounds
in Chicago. but Dempsey put in one
proviso, and that was that Davies
was not to manage the show, but his
friend Sheedy, was to take charge.
Mitchell, however, stuck to the Da-
vies colors, and only consented to meet
Dempsey under Sheedys management
after Davies told him to. However,
Carter Harrison Gather of the present
mayor) sent out word that no glove
contest should be pulled on in Chicago
unless Parson Davies managed the
show And if Davies did not manage
it, no fight would take place.
This aroused Sheedy, who had in
fluential friends, and before the thing
was settled fighting was closed in Chi
cago for several years, only to open
again under the management of Da-
vies. This incident is cited to show
that it is not the authorities, but the
fighters and their managers themselves
that close down the sport.

DIALECT IN THE SCHOOLS,
Controversy Over Language Employed
by James Whitcorb Riley.

In an address delivered at Indianap-
oils the other day, Prof. ShrXock of the
Illinois State Normal college, took ex-
ception to the language employed by
James Whitcomb Riley. in many of his
most popular poems. According to
the published reports of the professors
Riley had not preferred the vehicle
Of classic English to the use of Hoosier
dialect, which he maintained cannot
be taught in the schools without de-
basing the language" Possibly en-
couraged by applause he went on to
say that because of this unfortunate
qualification the poems shauld be
barred for all time.
Assuming that the professor had not
been misquoted, it must appear that
he has not made a very convincing ar
gument. While i may not be safely
taught to urchins in school as pro-
ceeding from "a well of English pure
and undefiled," it does not appear to
follow that it must be barred for all
time. Even the professor must admit
that there is a good deal in literature
cannot be taught in schools, and that
schools are by no means the beginning
and the end of acquisition of human
knowledge. And even if the professor
meant to convey only the idea that the
barrier applies merely to the scholastic
education of youth, there is still hope
for Mr.. Riley, whose poems may per-
chance continue to delight thousands
of readers whose literature is not
specially selected for them by a
schoolmaster.
1t is hardly necessary to defend Mr..
Riley's use of dialect. He has en-
ployed it for a purpose and with
meaning and it is altogether likely
that when he sat down to compose
song for the people he did not give
thought to the reception that that poem
would encounter at school or college,
If possibility of Prof. Shryock's crit
icism had occurred to him he might
have changed "Good-by, Jim, Take
Keer O. Yerself," to Farewell james,
Do Not Unnecessarily Expose Your
with
assure professional approval. And all
the little girls and boys would have
largely profted by the elegant SEN
timent.
Mr.. Riley is a peaceful and modest
citizen as well as a capable dialect
poet, and it is not probable that he
will strenuously resent the onslaught
on his verses. 1t is really too bad that
people will continue to talk in the way
Mr. Riley writes, but we are not going
to hold him responsible for this devil
alton from Addisonian English. And
when the little boys and girls grew up
and get out of school we hope they
will read and enjoy Riley with the
same relish and keen interest ex-
perienced by us who have passed be-
yond the domination of the pedagogue.
If meanwhile they can read a little
Riley dialect sentiment on the sly
at home, we dare say they will not be
the. worse for it.
