.J.U JITSU DEAD
AS CONFUCIlJS
SIant-eyed Professors Who
Taught lap System Two
Years Ago BeIIhopS Now.

New York Oct. 13.-About two years
ago there was a big noise over jiu
jitsu. Every counter hopper with a
chest like a lath and every cigarette
sucking, undergrown degenerate saw
in it a great light. He pictured him
self learning a few twists of the wrist
and going forth to make cab drivers
and baggage smashers quail at the
glare of his eye.
Nearly every city boasted OF Us
jewjit professor. and d lot of easy
money-seeking Japs worked the graft
with the avarice and rapacity of a
sucking calf getting busy with the
mother COW after the milkmaid had ex-
acted her toll
There was much written about the
terrible game. and its fame was spread
abroad even like unto the merits of a
new patent medicine.
Reaction Sets In.
Then came the reaction The levitt
classes started TO fall off and the
great japanese man killers went back
to answering the tinkle of the hotel
clerks call bell. 1t was for cause.
Jewjit was all right so long as the
man you attempted to put il over on
was paralyZed or asleep. When the
victim whose neck was to be broken
happened to be awake the putting on
of the Juit holds was as hard a task
as riding a Montana COW pony with Il
cockleburr under the saddle
Rude, rough persons who did not
know. and were not afraid of the bone
breaking jewjit, had d way of slapping
the WhiSkerS off the chinS of the men
who sailed toward them, eyes aglare
and arm extended for the deadly
thrust of the upright thumb in the
short :'ibs.
Too many jeWjit artists encountered
the fdGeaWay punch. The deadly neck
hold was hard to place on some coarse
villain, who stepped in close and
crossed over with his horny right.
JeWjit might do for settling class rows
at VasSar, but when it came down TO
deciding debates with cabbies, de-
livery men and half illuminated timber
jacks, jewjit was about as effective
as stabbing them in the ear with a
slice of angel food. The fad wdned.
There was nothing to it.
French System Also Exploded.
1t was a nice fad all right, but one
needed a magazine revolver or a base
ball bat wrapped in barbed wire TO
back it up. That is why We hear no
more of the Terrible Hishkfgjf of ia
pan. 1t would not even stop savate,
the French attack, and that was shown
UP years ago when Tommy Ryan if
memory fails not, took one of these
frog-eating kickers and pounded him
until the Arch of Triumph was shaking
like Mississippi delta cat-tail perch
in a West Indian hurricane.
When anyone mentions jiu jitSu
these days just make a mental note
that he is kidding you, Or has just ar
rived from the unmanicured districts
of the great northwest.

DEATH kNELL
TO AUTO RACING
Killing of Spectator Puts
Oamper on Sport, Says
Vanderbilt and Others.

New York. Oct. 13-It looks as if the
great American ''rubberneck'' had killed
for all time automobile racing i'm this
country. Judging from the remarks of
W. *. Vanderbilt. jr., and the officers of
the racing association the death knelI Of
the sport has been sounded. and it will be
many long day before there is another
race of this character unless it is held
on a private course
The opinion of a ajority of the snecta-
tors who witnessed the unfortunate kill
was that Mr.. Shepard was no more to
blame for the mans death than the engi-
neer OF an express train is when someone

fully 10000 machines were on Long Island

they represented an investment of close
to $50. 100000.

dcrful testimonial on the way automobiles
are built today. / doubt if such record
could be made by an equal number of
wagons or carriages driven one-tenth of

STEVENSON DRAWS AN AcaurrrAL
state Fails to Prove He Assisted
Prisoners TO Escape.

state Fails to Prove He Assisted
Prisoners TO Escape.
The case of the State Of Iowa against
Charles. alias Dutch" Stevenson. whose
trial on the charge of assisting prisoners
to escape from the county jail last March,
was begun yesterday morning in the dis
trict court, was dismissed. Judge Wheeler
at the close of the evidence for the prose-
cution sustaining the motion Of counsel
for the defendant to take ii from the Jury
and direct an acauittsl for Stevenson.
The result of the case was due to the
fact that the state failed to show that
any of the other prisoners in the county jail
had attempted on this particular occasion
to break out.
On the occasion of the alleged attempted
jail delivery Jailer Gallup discovered that
the paddock on the door leading from the
inner to the outer corridor had been sawed
of and that one of the bars of an out
side window had been partially sawed
through. Investigation developed the fact
that the saw had been constructed from
the steel spring taken from the sole of one
of stevensons shoes. Incarcerated in the
same corridor with Stevenson at the time
were James Arthur since convicted OF com
plicity in the attempt to blow the safe Of
trial under a joint indictment with Pat
Grove on the charge of holding up and
robbing the crews of two motor cars, and
Charles Lloyd, who has since pleaded guilty
TO stealing several garments from a Broad
way pawnbroker and was sentenced to six
months in the county jail, but is now en-
joying freedom under an appeal bond.
Stevenson has already served three penl-
Tertiary sentences but they were not all
of sufficient character to indict him under
the habitual criminal act The authorities
had hoped however, that the charge OF as
sisting prisoners to escape from the county
Jail would have been sufficient to send him
back to the penitentiary for long term
and are much disappointed over the out
come of the trial yesterday. There are
still two indictments against him for the
theft of clothing from two Broadway pawn
brokers, but as John Fosdick and Charles
Lloyd, indicted Jointly with him. escaped
with jail sentences, it now looks as il
Stevenson would get off with similar SEN
tence.
1t is understood that Stevenson was will
ing to plead guilty to the4c h9rgfstQn " bich
he was indicted with Fosdick and Lloyd
but wanted to await the determination of
the other charge before doing so.
