PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
ARRA!GNS SHEEPMEN
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Govern-
ment policy in regard to the control
of grazing land in the public domain
and the interests of large and small
cattlemen and the sheepmen, and the
effect of protection of stockmen upon
homesteaders, were considered today
at public hearing before the senate
committee on agriculture.
The hearing was had on an amend
ment by Senator Burkett of Nebraska
to the agricultural appropriation bill,
authorizing the secretary of agricul-
ture to district the unreserved land and
charge and collect reasonable fees for
grazing.
The cattlemen were represented by
members of the American National
Live Stock association who favored
the measure, while the sheepmen repre-
sented by members OF the National
Wool Growers association, opposed it..
During the proceedings a letter from
President Roosevelt addressed to Sem
ator Warren was read. 1t indorsed
general control by the government of
grazing lands. but insisted upon the
protection of the homesteaders and ar
raigned the sheepmen severely.

PUBLICATION OF
THAW TRIAL STORY
BRINGS PROTESTS

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-President
Roosevelt has received a number of
protests from persons who think the
newspapers printing the full details
of the Thaw case should be prohibited
transmission through the mails. One of
these was a long telegraphic protest
from newspaper the name of which
however, was not given out at the
White House.
The recent discussion of the question
in Canada, notably in the Canadian
parliament, and the statement of the
postmaster general at Ottawa that any
newspaper publishing such evidence as
that given in the Thaw case Thursday
would be guilty of misdemeanor
under the Canadian law also was
brought to the attention of the presi-
dent.

RUSSIAN LION
TO WRESTLE
HACKENSCHMlDT AND GOTCH
ARE MATCHED
1t Is Thought That the American
Will Have Small Chance
Against Great Foreign
Opponent

An offer of $4,000 purse for a
wrestling bout between George Hack
enschmidt 1.-The Russion Eon," and
Frank Gotch, the American champion,
will bring these two gladiators to-
gether.
The Missouri Athletic club of Kansas
City has offered that sum, and both
wrestlers have accepted it. This is the
largest sum ever offered FOR a wrestling
match in this country.
No definite date has been settled upon,
but it will likely not be held until May,
as Hackenschmidt will complete his
London engagements before sailing for
this country. The winner will receive
rs per cent of this sum and the world 8
title.
c. C. Cochran, manager of Hacken-
schmidt, insists that $4,000 shall be
posted in England and that there shall
be a side bet of at least $1,000. The only
possible hitch in the arrangement has
to do with the selection of the referee.
Cochran wants the stakeholder in
Kansas City to be the referee. w. r.
Scoville, president of the Missouri A. c.,
insists upon his club being permitted
to name the referee.
While some men believe it would be
a good match, the great majority think
the American would not nave a cnance
against the worlds champion. The re-
markable showing made by Hacken-
schmidt on his last visit here stamped
him as being the greatest wrestler the
American people had ever seen.
He has tackled the greatest wrestlers
in the world and has never lost a
match. Americans, Turks, Russians,
Germans and other national champions
have been defeated by this powerful
giant.
In his bout with Tom Jenkins at Mad
ison Square garden two years ago the
Russian merely toyed with the Ameri-
can champion.
When he got ready to throw Jenkins
Hackenschmidt simply grabbed his OPP
ponent, dragged him to the center of
the mat, turned him around and pinned
him squarely to the mat without much
effort.
Hackenschmidt is marvel of
strength. He is feet 10 inches in
height and weighs 210 pounds. He has
great breadth of chest and a small
waist, tapering down gradually from
his shoulders.
His chest measurement is SO inches
waist 36 inches, biceps 10 inches and
forearm Is inches. While the Russian 3
record has been perfect Gotch has sew
eral times met defeat. Tom jenkins
twice beat him, and Fred Beell threw
him in two straight falls.

Chance has a good deal to do with the
success or failure Of stations after
their turf days are ended and they are
asked to reproduce themselves in the
stud.
Electioneer was failuis In New
York state, where half his life was
spent string speed at the trot only after
going to California.
George Wilkes never got a trotter
worth mentioning during the seventeen
years he was a New York horse, but
after going to Kentucky and being
slightingly referred to by the horsemen
of that section as "a baked up felony"
he founded the best stud-branch of the
Hambletonian family while that of
Blectioneer is next in order of merit.
Dictator started his stud career in
New York under the best of auspices,
he being a brother to Dexter, trotting
marvel of that day, and yet It was not
until he was taken to Kentucky late In
life that Dictator sired the three great
est members of his tribe-Phallas, Die
tator and Jay Eye See.
Instances of what is called, for want
of better name, the Climatic cross"
could be multiplied, but there are other
reasons why some stations have been
deprived of what would have been their
best opportunity.
The analyst whose hobby is to study
the blood lines and the stud achieve

when all the facts of his career are
considered, Alexanders Abdallah was
the best son of Hambletonian.

1t was the civil war that put that
great horse out of business, literally
and figuratively. He was owned by
the Alexanders of Kentucky, family
whose head came to this country with
plenty of money and a title of nobility
which he declined to use or talk about.
The estate, known as Woodburn, Is a

duces walnut trees as ordinary ground

sixties, living on the borderland of the
great conflict, had hard time.
