WRESTLING
IRISH GIANT
 WAS BEATEN
Local Man Who Takes a Strange Title Goes Down Before the
 Mighty Perelli.

Winsted, April 19.-John Perrelli the Italian wrestler, defeated Newhart of Waterbury, known as the lrlsll Giant, in very unsatisfactory wrest- ling match before 25O people at the armory here last night. The men wrestled catch-as catch-can style and Perrelli secured the first fall after twenty three minutes of clever wrest- ling
 Only five minutes of the second bout had elasped when Newhart was declared disqualified, the referee claiming that he had refused 10 break after using the strangle hold, which was barred There were cries of flake" as the spectators left the hall.
 In the preliminary match Drink water of Waterbury obtained savage leg hold on Kid De Voc of Torring- ton after thirteen minutes of wresr- ling and made the Kid say enough" DeVOe's leg was so badly injured that he was unable to continue.
 Grappling for nearly two hours rln- til both were well nigh exhausted and there appeared to be little chance of either being able to obtain fall, even though they struggled for two hours more. Jim Barnes and Car! Busch were obliged to quit without fall be- ing gained last night in their match in Springfield They had been on the mat for one hour and 45 minutes when Referee George V. Touhey eX- ercised his right to put stop to it, as for fully 9 minutes before that time the men were simply pulling and maulng each other all over the ring, and were hardly in condition to do much real wrestling.
 Busch had the better of it on Barnes in weight. but his knowledge of the catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling was limited, and repeatedly the wiry middleweight champion tossed the husky German all over the roped en- closure. Busch looked powerful enough to crush Barnes to the canvas any time he wanted. but whatever strength he appeared to have did not manifest itself to any extent when he tried to throw Barnes. Busch's legs were his weakest point and Barnes soon discovered this and con tinually dumped him on his back.
 Early in the bout the men rushed each other around the ring and three times Barnes dumped Busch through the ropes on top of a row of spectators and another time Barnes and Busch left the ring together, rolling under the ropes and on to the hall floor. Once or twice there was a tendency to roughness in few slight exchanges of elbow digs that were, however, quickly checked by the ringmaster.

How many take wrong view of life. and waste their nervous system in endeavoring to accumulate wealth without thinking of the present happi- ness they are throwing away.

THE POLICE INVESTIGATION.

The official conduct of Chief of Po-
lice Curran and Sergeant Sadler have
been investigated and, following the
usual procedure of the Civil Service
Commission, they have been exoner-
ated. The trial was interesting, but
the outcome was not surprising.
Who, for instance, was so unsophis-
ticated as to even harbor the faintest
hope that Sergeant Sadler, the Ter
ror of Black Bottom" would be ad-
judged guilty Of the charges preferred
against him? Oh, no! Sadler has
beaten too many Negroes to be con-
victed Of infractions of the rules of
the police department.
The evidence, though, brought out
the fact that some of these "terrors"
who are so fierce that their very pres
ence produces order, these heroes in
miniature, who know no other law
while in Black Bottom" other than
the dictates of their own conscience,
became so tame when they reached
the portion of the city inhabited by
the elite gamblers that they would
eat out Of the hands of men suspected
of violating the law-so tame, in fact,
that after eating they would walk off
without paying their bills!
One other feature of the investiga-
ton tends to confirm the oft-repeated
assertion that when an alleged crimi-
nal appears before the City Court and
his prosecutor is a policeman, his
chances for justice are slim. One Of
ficer in his evidence said that he
would not believe another upon oath
We have heard that there is honesty
among thieves; surely the same thing
holds good among policemen.

FARDAMAN.

The report which received wide cir
culation, that Gov James K. Varda-
man had, to use the vernacular, "got
religion" appears to be untrue. The
young, long-haired individual, who be-
fore~his advent into politics was an
editor, is too thoroughly acquainted
with the value of newspaper adver-
Using to be converted at the first re-
vival meeting he attended. He, like
most other hardened sinners who
have an eye to the main chance pre-
fers to be on the anxious seat where
he can attract the attention and en-
list the sympathy of the elect.
But, even if Vardaman should pro-
fess hope in Christ would it change
his attitude toward the Negro? We
think not. The race question is his
chief political asset in his fight for
the United States senatorship and,
knowing the better results to be
achieved from appealing to prejudice
rather than to reason, he would
scarcely be guilty Of throwing away
his trump card in a game where he
has for an opponent one Of the
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1907-07-05

shrewdest men sent from Mississippi
for quarter of a century. The fu-
ture life presents fewer attractions
for Vardaman at this iuncture than
the senatorial toga.
If young Mr. Vardaman-not "Old
Man Vardaman," as some of our con-
temporaries seem to think-does en-
ter the fold and should practice the
teachings of Christ sufficiently to tell
the truth upon the hastings concern
ing the Negroes of Mississippi, it
would be one of the greatest surprises
of recent years. The conversion
would be like that of Saul of Tarsus.
There have been so many followers
of the lowly Jesus whose panaceas for
solving the race problem is based
upon their individual prejudices, in
stead of upon the teachings of the
Master whom they profess to serve,
that the long-haired individual from
Mississippi will find himself in good
religious company, no matter how far
he may go in his denunciation of the
Negro. Religion would not change
Vardaman. He wants to be a senator.

A DAY ON WHITES CREEK.

Last Sunday just we three an no
more drove out in the cool morning
air and bright sunshine to spend the
day in the woods. After the dust,
noise, and dirt of the city, how fresh
and green the grass and trees looked
and now inviting the shade. We
passed by farms well cultivated, over
rivers flowing to the sea, by hills rails
ing their woody crests in imposing
grandeur. 1t was indeed delightful.
When we came to Whites Creek we
found all along its winding banks ves
hicles OF outing parties taxing advan-
Iage OF tins beautiful spot OF nature.
We lett the WOODS, and coming out in
The clearing, found a very large tree
that seemed to oner shade and shelter.
we rested here, united our horse, and
turned him out to Craze, and then gave
ourselves up TO the delight OF the stu
alton, and the enjoyment OF the hour.
Down the slope at our feet the creek
ran with gentle, murmuring ripple.
SO delightful to the ear. Further away
from us under tree a man was feed
ing his COWS and mules, and still fur
tner away under another large tree
was party Of pleasure seekers-a
wagon full OF merry crowd.
About noon the sky became dark,
and heavy gust of wind blew, and
everything looked very threatening;
but 1t blew over after few drops of
rain had fallen, and all was serene
again. The bracing air soon made us
feel like eating, and we soon had
spread out on newspapers, of which
we were well supplied, some nice dain-
ties, suitable for such an occasion. AT |
Ter lunch we went to watch the fish,
little minnows, and large fish swim
ming in the water. | gathered some
pebbles as remembrance of one of |
the happiest days have spent.
We went home in the cool of the
evening, refreshed, light-hearted and
full OF the JOY of a day spent near to
the heart OF nature.
One thing that struck me most was |
why is it that so few of our people |
take advantage of these quiet spots
outside our busy, dusty city? Do not
we, most of us who have to work for
our daily bread, need recreation most
OF all? Do not we need to get out
in the fresh air, and Gods pure sun
light, and stretch our lungs, open our
hearts and expand to the joys of ma
ture?

DR. POLK ON NEGRO EDUCATION.

DR.. VIM. M. Polk, of New York, and
dean of the medical faculty of Cor
nell University, delivered an address
Sunday, June 20, at the semi-cen-
tennial exercises at the cornerstone
OF the University of the South, To-
Gated at Sewanee, Tenn. The sub
ject of the address was Education of
the Negro.
DR.. Folks address was but an i'm
passioned rehash of the same old plat
itudes with reference tc the Negro
which have been trotted out so many
times to do service before Southern
audiences, to tickle their prejudices
and gain their plaudits.
DR.. Polk, in his address, followed in
the same old well-worn ruts made
deep and sleek by the mental wheels
of the vehicles used by his predeces-
sors in hauling about their ideas,
opinions and prejudices-Negro ware
for exhibition before Southern audi
ences. He did not utter single new
or original word, phrase or thought.
that the public has not heard O. dozen
times over from Jeff Davis, of Arkan-
sas; Vardaman and his side partner.
Dickson, author of "The Black VOLTS
Breed" of Mississippi; Preacher
Penny, of Texas; Tom Dixon, of
South Carolina; John Temple Graves,
of Georgia, and a host CT other ambi-
tious but smaller luminaries. The
speech of one is the speech of all.
But the purpose of this comment on
DR.. Folks address is to call attention
to his downright poor reasoning. The
address, like the water-monster in
habiting the Learnean marshes of Ar
COILS, known in Grecian mythology as
the Hydraulic monster with one body
but many heads-so was DR.. Folks
address, It had as many inconsistent
cies as the tabled monster had heads
Let DR.. Polk speak Read carefully
and listen attentively as you follow
him through the following rambling
and inconsistent paragraphs:
"The truth is, these people are
children, and there is no more to ex-
pect or fear from them than from
children. Poured into this country
in its almost primitive state, they are
scattered through it in large bodies.
Where the proportion of white to
black was so small it needed but some
spirit Of aggression for them to rise

STATE RIGHTS.

San Francisco's display of her petty
jealousies or prejudices toward the
japanese will do more to arouse SEN
timent for a strong centralized gov
eminent than all the pronuncia-
mentos of Roosevelt and Root.
AS we have pointed out here
tofore, the people of the country, as
a whole, like the Japanese and well
come them to the confines of the
United States. Yet, few cities on
coast controlled by labor unions
would bring on complications that
are liable to embroil the whole coun-
try in a war.
In the event that these complica-
tons which seem to be on the in
crease, should involve this country in
war, what position would the Negro
take? Would he forget that the Jap
anese would be fighting to break up
the very thing against which we as a
race have complained, take up his
gun and defend "old glory?" Or,
would he, naturally sympathizing with
Japan, aid that country? Or would
he remain neutral, simply tending to
his own business as private citizen?
If state rights" and city rights in
volve this nation in a war with first
class foreign power such as Japan is,
the race problem will take on an i'm
portance never known before in this
country.
