The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was q revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region Of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DIR. Pierce is bringing
ho4e to the public parallel fact; that

Reeve, In the Worlds Work for De-
cember. Every time there is blow
out" this fact is dramatically demon
strated. An example of this occurred
last June in one of the East river tun-
nels. After blast had been exploded,
the thirteen naen who were working 500
feet out under the river ana
perhaps seventy-five feet below
It, hastened forward. only TO
be confronted by q rush of swirling
water and mud. The dreaded blow
OUT had occurred. Part OF the roof
formed by the river bed had given

the protecting "air'' was rushing out.
The lights grew dim and the tunnel
filed with fog, as it always does under
blowout" Stumbling ond cropping,
the men turned and rushed frnntically
back to the air lock. The big air lock
was closed. The foreman trgged at the
door, but It did not hudga. The only
thing left TO do was to scramble up the
small emergency lock above. The men
were in panic. Action must be quick
if they were to be saved. II two men

That was just exactly what was
about to happen when the foreman
seized pick handle lying on the floor.

he lined up the panic-stricken men and
made them crawl one by one through
the narrow opening to safety. Then
he crawled through hinself, not a min

entering the lock as he banged the door
leading into the tunnel. Safe In the
lock, one OF them not yet recovered
from his fright turned on the valve
so hard that they would all probably

foreman had not guarded the valve
with the pick handle until he had
brought the whole party out without

A few days later, in another tunnel,
thirty men were working out about

FOR STATEMENT
Senator from South Carolina Talks
characteristicalTy of Financial Sit-
uation-Says DahIman QuaIi-
fies for Ananias Club
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In the course
Of a speech in the senate today, Sena-
tor Tfllman commented characteristical-
ly on financial aaffirs. He said he be-
lieved the president was a patriot, and
that while he had been guilty of many
fndiscretions and said many things which
In cooler moments he would have been
willing to take out of print, he did not
believe that the president felt any sat-
fsfaction whatever in having been instru-
mental in the present financial paralysis,
as had been charged.
IF we are not In the midst of a panic
we are in the midst of a chill produced
by danger of panic,' declared Mr.. TILL
man.
Speaking of published interview with
the president by Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha, in which the president is al
legged to have said that if he was re-
sponsible for the panic he was glad of 1t,
as 1t had brought to view the rotten
condition of the countrys finances, Till
man said:
Il fear that Mr.. Dahlman is in immi-
nent danger of Joining the Ananias club.
Perhaps somebody here will use the
telephone and find out about that"
Tillman spoke of the manner in which
the financial stringency has operated.
And" he added. "the president says he
is proud of 1t. At least Dahlman SAYS
the president says he is proud of it..
cannot believe he said it. He has said
many things lacking discretion, but l
do not believe he is so callous as to feel
any pleasure in the condition of paraly-
sis which confronts us. / believe he is
a patriot. though he has perhaps shown
it badly at times"
The senator held aIoft a clearing house
certificate and loudly called upon the
senate to look at it.
Here is a specimen said he. Looks
like what you call Confederate money
shin plaster-and yet they are issued by
national banks. Look at it. am going

HIS HOLINESS HOLDS SECRET
C0NSIST0RY
Modernism and Attacks on Catholic
Church Scored by Pontiff-Says
Open and Secret Opposition
Is Manifested

BY Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 16-Pius x today held a
secret consistory in the Vatican in which
he created four new cardinals and pre-
consized several bishops. The new car
dinals are:
Monsignor Pietro Gasparri, secretary
of the congregation of extraordinary &C.
clesiastical affairs; Monsignor de Lai,
secretary of the congregation of the
council; Monsignor Luduvic Henry Lu-
con, archbishop of Rheims, and Monsig-
nor Paul Pierre Andrieux, archbishop of
Marseilles.
The pope delivered an allocuticn in
which he made reference to the persecu-
tion of the Redeemer and said that his
church had been attacked from all sides
in d warfare open or dissimulated.
The rights and laws of the church had
been trampled on even by those who
should safeguard them and the impious
and vulgar press had fought her even
quiet.
Censures Modernists
The pontiff cited the recent disorders
in Italy. To this must be added, he con-
tinued, the disastrous propaganda in the
bosom of Catholicism itself which is being
carried on by modernists who disdain
the pontifical authority and desire them
selves authoritatively to sanction new
faith and new conscience.
If the modernists' would enlist them
selves frankly among the enemies of the
church this evil would be less; as it is,
they proclaim themselves Catholics, par
take of the sacrament and celebrate
mass. Fulfilling his apostolic duty, the
pope said, he had adopted against the
modernists such measures as were neces-
sary, striving particularly to save young
clergymen from perversion.
In conclusion the allocution reads: "The
episcopacy has accepted the papal direc-
tions with eagerness and has applied
them with ZEAL but the modernists per-
severe in their rebellion and give manifest
proof of their attitude, even in the press.
May God enlighten these misled ones"
The pope made official announcement
during the consistory of the appointment
of Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the
American college here, to be titular
bishop of Adrianopolis and the appoint
ment of Monsignor Dennis O'Connell, rec
tor of the Catholic university at Wash
ington, to be titular bishop of Sebaste.
