SOCIALISTS SCORE
WORDS OF PRESIDENT
By Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 6.-President
Roosevelt's designation of Meyer and
Haywood as undesirable citizens" was
accepted by Washington Socialists as
their only characterization by the
state convention of the Socialist party
here yesterday.
The convention unanimously passed
resolution declaring that If Meyer
and the other accused officials are "un-
desirable citizens" they wish to be
known in the same way.
President Roosevelt did not escape
criticism. The same resolution de-
manded that he show proof for his
statement that the officials melted to
riot and bloodshed.
A resolution declaring that the presi-
dent himself is the most undesirable
citizen in the United States today was
barely defeated and then only because
the convention went on record as re-
fusing to 'bandy epithets used by cap
italiSts.'
The Socialist conventio nhas been
marked by the ousting of Walter
Thomas Mills. author of 1.-THE Struggle
for Existence and very prominent
man in the party. He was refused a
seat on the convention floor.
He is now leading the minority fac
ton in an attempt to gain control OF
the party in this state.

DR.. JOHN WATSON
CALLED BY DEATH
Well Known Author and Lecturer,
Known to Public as Ian McLaren,
Dies at Mt. Pleasant, la,
of Blood Poisoning
By Associated Press.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa. May g.
DIR. John Watson Clan McLaren)
died here today of blood poisoning fol-
lowing an attack of tonsilitis. He was
taken Ill here April %.
DIR. Watson came to Mount Pleasant
on April 23 from Minneapolis to de-
liver a lecture to the students of the

he becam, ill and was compelled to
cancel the engagement.
The illness, which was declared to
be tonsilitis, progressed favorably.
Last Monday and Tuesday the patient
was able to be about Wednesday an
abscess formed upon the right ear. The
system absorbed pus and in few
hours developed serious symptoms.
Blood poisoning set in and on Satur-
day another ebscess started to form in
the left ear The patients condition
was aggravated by a bad attack of
rheumatism.

RING EXHIBITION
BURNS WALL0PS, SPARRING
PARTNER
canuck's Face Has Been Massaged
and Heavy CaIlouses Form
Armor for O'5rien's
Gloves

The news that Tommy Burns was to
complete his training at Maud Junction
pavilion yesterday afternoon drew over
1000 persons to the arena. 1t appeared
as though practically every lower seat
was taken, so steady was the stream
which filed into the pavilion.
What followed when Burns appeared
with fourteen-ounce boxing gloves
might possibly be recorded as the best
heavyweight workout ever witnessed
in Los Angeles. So fierce was the on
slaught made by Burns on his part
ners, Jimy Burns and Billy Woods,
that the crowd called to Tommy that
he beware of injuring his hands. Both
Jimmy Burns and Woods were in shaky
condition after the gruelling mixups.
Burns first went at his abdominal
work and then took to the skipping
rope. Shadow boxing followed and
then came Jimmy Burns, armed with
large gloves. Tommy showed but lit
tie mercy and went after the husky
lightweight in a hurry.
Jimmy fought gamely, but biff on
the ear sent him dizzy and he was
forced to rest for a minute before pro-
ceeding. AS Tommy lost his balance
Jimmy caught him a solid one and
aided the Canuck to fall. 1t was a
slip on Tommy's part, but the lighter
man helped things out little.
Billy Woods, the heavyweight who
has been working with Burns, was
taken on next and Tommy even went
harder after the heavier man. The
crowd became highly excited and many
called to Burns in a warning way.
1t did appear very risky, the manner
in which Burns used his hands, but he
left the rim; as strong as when he en-
tered.
A close inspection of Burns face re-
veals a somewhat curious fact, though
one which has sometimes been re-
sorted to by ringsters. Below each
eye is a tough, almost callous irdge,
Which gives the appearance of a circle
beneath the optic.
When asked as to the cause, Tommy
said:
Lewis has been massaging my face
every day since I started training and
especially below the eyes. If O'Brien
cuts me he will have to sting deeper
than he ever did before"
Burns went down to Long Beach
last night and will be out for gentle
rLn this morning. He will come in
for the evenings parade and remain at
his Adams street residence until to-
morrow.

The San Francisco Seals open at
Chutes Park this afternoon for the
final weeks play before the Seraphs
travel north. A lively session is an
ticipated, as the San Francisco club
comes south with its full quota of dia-
mond stars.
Irwin, who was out of the game for
while, is back at third, and it is ex-
pected that Moriarty will be at short,
although he was out of the game Sun

foot was to the bad after the last visit
of the Seals to Los Angeles, is able to
take his place at first.
Thus far the pennant race has been
a walkaway for the Angels with the
Oakland nine poor second. A chance
exists for the Seals to creep up this
week if they find method of taking
the Seraphs' measure.
Oakland is against Portland, how
ever, and the Mud Hens seem easy
picking for almost everybody. 1t is

LOUISVILLE. KY. May 6.-Moving
past a spent and reeling field with an
ease which his clumsy, numbering stride
did not indicate, Pink STAR the longest
priced horse in the race today won the
thirty-third Kentucky Derby, one and
one-quarter miles, by two lengths from
Seal with Ovelando in third position a
length and a half awcy.
The race was run over a track al
most fetlock deep in mud and the time,
2:12 S-5, was the slowest in the history
of the race. Boxara and Holdfast were
scratched, as was also Archite, colt,
which has ben an overwhelming favor
ite in the future books. This left a
field of six with Red Guantlet installed
as favorite at to 2, with heavy play
on Ovelando and Wool Sandals, each
held at 8 to /.
Seal at to 1 had some little support,
but Orland Wick at 10 to 1 and Pink
Star at 15 to l were virtually over
looked.
The field was sent away to a good
start. Wool Sandals and Ovelando set
stiff pace for the first six furlongs.
By the time the mile was reached Seal
had all except Pink STAR who had
moved up to fourth place, in distress.
Thousands acclaimed Seal as the
winner as they turned into the stretch,
not seeing Jockey Minder uncouple
Pink Star. The big bay colt speedily
closed up the four lengths between him
and Seal, successfully moving down
Wool Sandals and Ovelando with the
greatest ease. Results:
