three rounds. Hell break his right
wrist on Joe's elbow IL he isn't care
full" was the comment from the press
benches.
Britt's lack of coolness was partly
responsible for the miserable ending
Of the fight. From the first tap OF the
gong he appeared to be over eager.
He was not content to take the ad-
vice of his seconds to make Cans do
the leading but he rushed headlOng
into quarters that developed into an
inevitable slugging match. in which
the champion had by far the advan-
tage. 1t looked as though Britt was
trying for a knockout blow from the
first round and apparently giving lit
tie thought to the twenty rounds he
was up against with the cleverest man
the class has produced.
In the first round Britt staggered
Cans to the ropes with a left swing
on the neck that had lots of force in
it and evoked yells of admiration and
encouragement from the crowd. In the
same round he also used the left and
right successfully to the body but took
in punishment a straight left on the
nose that slowed him down. The sec
Ond round developed a mix UP at the
ropes in which both men exchanged
vicious rights and lefts. Cans taking
the advantage. In the third Cans fol-
lowed the tactics of crowding Britt
into a corner and the Californian had
his hands and feet busy working his
way out. The round was even. Cans
drew the first blood in the fourth with
lightning like straight left that
brought a scarlet stream trickling
from a corner of Britt's mouth II
was after this that Britt threw all of
his strength into the left swing tNlt
proved a merciful ending. for when he
went to his corner to recuperate for
the fifth he was looking a bit grOE-
gy and the last vestige of hope of
victory for him had vanished before
the eyes of the ringsiders The fifth
round was devoted TO sparring and
was devoid of sensation. At the close
Britt declared he had broken his
wrist hence his inability TO continue
the nsht. and it was stopped.
The disappointment of the crowd
was voiced at first in boots and grosns
of disappointment which died down 20
silence when the cause was made
known Even so. hundreds went away
murmuring and unconvinced and be
lieving Britt had quit. and that the
whole thing was fixed" but the words
of the doctors effectually disposes of
the claim of fake.

UNIQUE AND USfFUL
PIANO ATTACHMENT
A Novel Invention by a Vienna Man
For the Use of Composers.

Chicago. Sept. 9.-Wonders never
cease ia ire world Of invention. and al
though a device which has recently been
perfected and patented by a man in
Vienna Austria Nay be Of no partic-
ular use to the average business man
as a tool Tor the transaction OF his
business, yet the mechanical pOssibil-
tiles of it are of sufficient interest SO
that the managers of the National
Business Shows which occurr in Madi-
son Square Garden. New York, Osto-
Der II tolg and at the Chicago Coli
scum November 9 to IS, have decided
TO have one of these truly wonderful
machines on exhibition. The machine
consists Of an attachment that can be
put on an ordinary piano or pipe or
gan, which will register in characters
such as are used on ordinary sheet
music, anything that a composer may
PRODUCE by the operation of the regu-
lar piano keys. Thus a composer may
sit down and -prodcce an impromptu
composition. According to previous
methods it would have been necessary
for the composer to remember what
he had done and by a laborious meth
cd. using ruler. pencil, pen, brush and
water proof ink, transcribe 1t on paper.
After this it would have been handed
over to an artist who would have re-
drawn the characters ready for repro
duction on zine, after which plat would
have been made and the composition
printed therefrom, or the oiginaI COM
position would have been given to
music printer whose business would
have been to set it up in music type.
With this new device all that is neces
sary is for the composer to sit down
to the piano and play. the machine
does the rest. This saves a great deal
of time and expense and is one of the
most wonderful devices ever invented.
This in connection with a large num-
ber of other unusual and wonderful
ideas will be seen for the first time at
the National Business Shows.

HUSBAND

sired Target, Then Shot
Her Sister and Himself.

Washington, Sept. "a failing at
tempt to effect a reconciliation with
his wife from whom he has been sep
arated, Wellington ID. Herbert, rs years
old, last night fired five shots into the
crowded room where his wife was
seated, slightly wounding her sister,
Mrs. George w. North. Several others
in the room narrowly escaped being
struck. With the one remaining cart
ridge in his pistol, Herbert turned the
weapon upon himself and sent bullet
mot his breast just below the heart.
He is not expected to live.
But for the presence of mind of Mrs.
Herbert she undoubtedly would have
been killed. Seeing the revolver point-
ed at her she grasped one of the young
children and threw herself on the floor.
The shot missed her. She crawled to-
ward the door and a shot passed over
her head, striking Mrs. North's arm.
The third shot grazed Mrs. Houser's

ing party shall enjoy full protection

Captain Odom Makes Research and Finds Eight White Children fin Negro Families--No Law
 Prohibiting Practice.

In carrying on the general work of the Salvation Army in the past few weeks Captain l.. A. Odom has found that there are several white children that are being reared by negroes in Montgomery and feeling that this is an extraordinary state. of affairs he looked into the law on the matter. Af- ter careful research and consulting lawyers 1t was found that there Is neither a State or city law that pre- vented this practice.
 During the time thst he was lock- ing into the matter Captain Odom made search of the city to see how many cases of this kind that he could find. In all he found that there were eight children that were being reared by negroes.
 T have looked into the matter thor oughly." said Captain Odom to The Ad- vertiser yesterday, "and l find that 1t has become to be quite a practice among a certain classsof people to have their children raised by negroes. In view of breaking the practice and. If nothing else could be done take the children to our headquarters for the time being, I looked into the law on the matter but find that we can do nothing. There Is no law that pro- vides that white children shall not be raised by negroes.
 T happened to keep the addresses of the places where six of the children were a few days ago when made the rounds.
 sThese children are taken into the negro homes and in most cases they are raised as negroes. With the laws that we now have 1t will be impossi- hle for anyone to take these children ta proper place..
