BOOK REVENUES TO Be
USED FOR ATHLETICS

Madison. Wis. Dec. 9.-Thc board OF
directors of the Athletic association of
the University of Wisconsin today
adopted resolutions declaring that the
money received from the sale of its
new membership books, which were
placed on sale today, will be used in
hiring coaches for the baseball and
football teams and supporting generally
the other athletic teams, especially the
crew. The board expects to get about
$4,000 from the sale OF these member
ship books.
In view of the fact that the board
of regents of the university, which viii
meet a week from tomorrow, is cramp-
ed for funds and might not feel dis
posed to appropriate money for coaches
the action of the athletic board is ex-
pected to remove any objection the
regents might have toward authorizing
the employment of athletic instructors.
Thomas Barry of Notre Dame, who is
expected to be elected coach of both
the baseball and football teams, is
| here preparing TO open law office.
He is a graduate of the Harvard law
school.

PLAY ANOTHER 90 GAME.

South Chicago, Dec 9.-(Special)-
The Armour Squares and Cheltenham
Juniors were unable to decide the
South Side lightweight championship
of the football league in their game
at Ansons park yesterday. The con-
test ended a to at the end of
two twenty five minute halves. This
is the third game between the two
elevens in which neither team has been
able to score point. Conditions
greatly handicapped the players, the
field being so muddy that they were
compelled to move the gridiron to an
other part of the park. In consequence
the crowd greatly interfered with the
game Whether or not another at
tempt will be made to decide the light
weight honors this year is to be de-
cided at a meeting Of the league to-
night.

Editor LAKE COUNTY TIMEs:-
1 noticed in a recent issue of the
LAKE COUNTY TINES. where a lady of
Hegewisch lost some money in a fire,
and naturally considered it a complete
lost.
My own experience may be of value
tc her and others who might have this
experience in the future, to recover
such losses.
Several years ago I lived in Windsor
Park, and by some mistake my wife
threw her pocket book with some paper
into the fire and the pocket book and
money (S12) were apparently total
loss. as it was burned 70 a crisp. The
two nves and two dollar paper could
not be distinguished from one another
was careful not to crash nor disturb
the burnt crisp, except to remove it
from the frame of the pocket book
1 showed it to Mr.. McGrath, then
Cashier of the Calumet National bank,
South Chicago. who advised me to
throw it away, but nevertheless I
called at the office of the United States
sub-treasury in Chicago and followed
their instructions, towit:
1 made an affidavit to the fact that
I was a citizen of the United States
and had lost the money in a fire. and
that it was my property. also had
the notary attach a statement that he
knew me personally for several years
past, that I was a law abiding citizen,
and that he had every reason to be
lieve that my statement was true. and
with these papers sent the ashes to
the third assistant to the treasury OF
United States, Washington. D. c.

/ cefved by mail two hves and two

Practical Wives.

The wives of men of sentiment often
possess vein of strong common sense
and matter of fact nature which may
at times serve to bring their poetical
husbands down from their flights OF
fancy rather rudely.
Jean Paul represents Siebenkas as
reading one Of his beautiful fancIes to
his wife, who listened with eyes cast
down. apparently absorbed in his
words. AS he finished and waited for
her appreciation to express itself she

The Army in the Message.

In dealing with army matters in his
message President Roosevelt was vol
luminous but vague. He argued that
cheap army is poor economy, which
nobody would deny. He undertook to
show by citing the casualties of indus
try that the cutlery in America against
militarism, system under which com
parativeiy few persons are killed any
where, is absurd. The logic is Devil
dering. and it was superfuous because
Mr.. Roosevelt had dealt with the topic
sufficiently when he said that there
were foolish people who denounce
any care OF the army or navy as mill
tarims" but that these people are not
numerous" The first grain of wheat
among the chan is to befound in the
sentence. There are noe enough on

tributed and shared than ever before
in the history of this or any other
country, it was possible for Mr.. Roose-
welt to achieve disaster that ordi-
narily could ensue only in time of
great public depression, disappoint-
ment and common misfortune.
He had not the slightest apprehen-
sion of what he was doing No ray
of business intelligence ever entered
his brain or ever can enter his brain.
He cannot even now understand that
when the president of the United
States, year after year, unremitting-
~ assails the stability of fourteen bill
lions of money invested in a single
American industry, to wit our rail-
roads, he is bound by virtue of the
weight and tradition of his Office to
bring about crash. What did he
care for a Wall Street panic? A mere
disturbance among gamblers and
stockholders? After pulling down the
house he wonders what made it fall.
Well, matters are relatively better.
much better. When confidence is re-
stored once more we shall speedily be
ourselves again. But it will take a
long, long time to repair the breaches
that have been made. while for count
less thousands things can never be the
same. For many it is too late in life to
begin all over again. and for yet
many others the damage is quite ire
parable and beyond the reach of hope.
That is inexorable; but happily to peo-
All credits must be reestablished

easily enough. and already the whole
country is addressing itself to the task
with a degree Of fortitude that moth
ing can abate.
The national sense of recuperation is
founded in the conviction that Mr.
Roosevelt has accomplished his self

warmed over aspirations and shop

CONL MURPHY
FIGHT IS OFF
Event Advertised to Occur
in Dolton Tonight Will
be Prevented.
SHERIFF STRASSHEIM FORBIOS
Complaint by Village Trustees Re-
sponsible for Arbitrary Ruling
disappointment is Keen.

There Will be no Coulon Murphy fight
at Dolton, Ill. tonight, nor Will there
be a boxing show of any kind in that
burg, which has recently gained con-
siderable prominence through the ad-
Vertising of the bantam weight fight
in mention
Sheriff Christopher Strasshelm last
night announced that as Dolton was
situated in Cook county he would pre-
vent the entertainment being held.
This he did at the request Of Fred
Weber and John S. Harter, two mem
bers of the board of trustees of the
town of DOlton. When told by Weber
and Harter that prize fight had been
extensively advertised to take place
at Delmar's hall in Dolton the sheriff
readily agreed to stop it.
Instructs Deputy sheriff.
Forthwith Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Morrison was instructed to inform Joe
Choynski. physical director of the
Illinois Athletic club, who was engaged
to referee the contest between CouIon
and Murphy, that the battle would not
be allowed He was also notified to
bear similar instructions to Manager
Joe Levy and other officers of the
/ Twin City Athletic club, under the
auspices of which the bouts were to
be held.
None of the officials of the Dolton
club could be found last night, but it
goes without saying that in view of
the sheriffs orders no attempt will be
made to stage the show, and if Coulon
and Murphy are to settle their grudge
they win have to seek other battle
grounds at some future time.
Extensive preparations had been
made for the show with an arrange
ment to seat 1,200 persons, and tickets
We're to have been sold at SO each
They would have all been sold, too
as interest in the bout, which was
virtually a championship affair, was
intense. a special train had been en-
ga ged to carry the fans to the ring
side. and besides the main contest two
other good bouts We're to have beer
fought making the show in all one OF
excellent class. Great is the disap.
pointment thereof.
Promoters Slow to Learn.
This is only one of several shows
that have been attempted by en-.
terprising but not far-sdefng pro.
moters within the Cook county bound
larry line only to be stopped by tn,
authorities at the eleventh hour, anC
it seems they will never learn.
Coulon and Murphy were trained t.
the hour, and fit for the fight OF thei
lives. but their hard work was all 70
naught unless one of the outside clubs
at Milwaukee, Peoria, or even New
York or Philadelphia take advantage
of the chance to grab one of the hes
matches between little fellows tina
could possibly be arranged.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE PASSING OF THE PANIC
AND OF THE OCCASION OF IT.

Matters are much improved. The
conditions of money are steadily APP

activity is seen in general business and
it is possible to take account of stock
and determine the extent of the dam
age incurred. The spectacle is impress

extent with which the ruin was dis

Since Mr. Roosevelt came into the
presidency he has conducted an ex-
traordinary campaign against wealth.
and in particular against the railroads
His hatred of the last named has
taken the form of an intellectual OBJ
session or lesion. 1t began with his
public declaration that the accepted
definition of property must be changed,
and it proceeded cumultaively ever since
until it eliminated in the present
commercial CONFUSION.

slow and fnsidious degrees he has
upset the public confidence arrayed

trust and hatred. No one ever ap-
preached him in creating a hopeless
disanection and unrest in the ranks
of labor. He Joined labor union I'M

has constituted himself the champion
of every known extremity OF labor
agitation; he has associated upon
terms of close personal intimacy with
the worst and most sinister figures

Of whom Orchard Mover. Pettibone and
Haywood are the familiar expression
and he has welcomed them as the

Jack is just aching for fight with
