Senator Shoots Case.

Reed SmOot was first brought before
the senate committee on privileges and
elections in March 1903. Now, in
May, 1906, the committee resolves
that he is not entitled to his seat as
a senator of the United States from
the state of Utah. In the three years
of his trial one senator, Hoar, Of Mas
sachusetts, has died; another, McCO-
mas of Maryland, has retired from the
senate, and a third, Clarke, Of Arkan-
sas, has refused to serve and been dis-
placed by aPtterson of Colorado. 1t
has been freely said that the commit
tee was not at all anxious to come
to terms, but pressure from the anti
Mormon element in Utah, Idaho and
the Pacific slope has finally forced this
s to 5 vote for expulsion. Three OF
the senator's six-years of service N
Washington have passed, and the gen.
eral feeling is that he has been a use
fUl, harding working member. His
committee assignments have included
membership in the forest reservations,
pensions, and public lands committees
of the senate. There has been no
charge of p~olygamous practice brought
against him. The a rested on the
implication that his oath of allegiance
to the Mormon church prevented MIN
from giving complete allegiance to the
United States. In W weeks the SEN
ate will be asked to vote on the resO-
luton of the committee proposed by
Senator Heyburn.-New York Post.

with up-to-date- coaches. who have
made the new rules study since they
came. out, and these days they are busy

As yet II is too early to get line on
the teams. but by next week. when
schools will be opened and the coaches
Will have an opportunity to size up
their material. the outlook for>Nvinning
teams will be much better. 81
Coach Maddox of the University Of

work this week. Until he has seen the

what would be the chances for the Ag-
gies this season. He said he had not
learned what material he would have
to work on. and would not know until
after school opened. He hoped to get
most of last ,year's men back again this
tall. and If he does he believes the Ag-
giles will make strong showing this

JEFfRIES HAS WON TWICE
Corbett, However, Is Considered
Better Boxer and More
Scientific of Two.

The following question comes from a
fight fan at Bingham
ITO decide a bet. how many times have
Corbett and Jeffries met, and what was
the result of each fight? Also which
fighter has the greater amount of sci
ence7"
Corbett ana Jeffries have met twice In
the first fight Jeffries knocked Corbett
out in the twenty-three rounds In the
second Jeffries knocked Corbett out In
ten rounds.
II is generally conceded that Corbett
has more ring science than Jeffries In
fact, Corb(tt is rated by nearly all au-
thonties as one of the best boxers the
world ever saw. He outboxed Jeffries in
every stage OF the first fight In their
second fight Jeffries surprised the world
by outboXing Corbett after the second
round. There is, however, a good reason
for this. as Jeffries knew he had Corbett
defeated after he gave him a terrific wal
Top in the second round. and for the rest
OF the fight Jeffries did nothing except
stand up and box the ex-champion. Cor
bett was all in and not at his best He
was. also afraid of Jeffries With these
conditions against him. he was no match
for the hugh boilermaker, even at sci
cntific boxing. Should the two men meet
IN friendly boxing bout in which neith-
or man would try TO damage the other
there is no question that Corbett would
show up as the more scientific boxer.
