DELAwARE's SENATORS.

IF THE United States senator from Kent
4 county does not "get busy" in recommending
persons for Federal position he may find that the
ex-senator will be nabbing the Jobs President
Roosevelt in one instance manifested a remark
able discourtesy towards Delaware in filling an
important place, and unless there is protest the
Chief Magistrate may again listen to former SEN
ator Alee's siren song. A United States senator,
especially one who is just beginning long term,
is an important parsonage.
Evidently Mr. Roosevelt does not know that
Harry A. Richardson and not J. Frank Alice is
the United States senator from lower Delaware.
Someone should inform the President Of that

NELAWARE is playing no small part in the
~ DeepSr Waterways Conference, in Phila-
delphia to give impetus to the project for chain
Of inland canals and rivers from Cape Cod possi-
bly, to Florida that would be an unprecedented
stride in fostering commercial navigation in this
country The Wilmington delegates TO this inn
portant gathering participate with a conscious
ness that the remarkable project is the offspring
Of the Chesapeake and Delaware free ship canal
agitation, which was conceived and launched in
the Wilmington Board Of Trade and the necessity
for which has been kept before the country per-
sistently by Delawareans.
In the proposed chain of inland waterways
from the land of the Yankees to the cotton fields
OF Dixie the Chesapeake and Delaware canal is
the most important link, and with such harmony
and unity on Tic part of the Atlantic Seaboard
States as is shown in the Philadelphia conference
the waterways project should have no trouble in
winning the endorsement OF Congress

NEW YoRK,s MocKERY on IUsTIcE.

II OW New York City makes mockery Of
a Il justice was well illustrated in the verdict
OF murder in the second degree found by jury
the other evening against Frank II. Warner.
Warner some weeks ago, upset the whole of
lower Broadway by shooting and killing young
woman on the street Then while the metropoli-
tan police were searching Tor him, the murderer
shot and killed another man. For this double Of
fense the jury found him guilty Of murder in the
second degree. He may possibly receive SEN
tence of twenty years which, should it be i'm
posed would be lessened considerably by the time
off for good behavior. This second degree YER
dict was rendered despite the testimony that the
man had once been sentenced Tor assault to ten
years in prison. Warner himself wanted first
degree verdict. The man is either insane or he
should have been convicted OF the first degree
crime
Persons wonder why there are so many MUIR
ders in New York. The reason is very simple
a laxity OF the laws and the refusal OF iuries to
protect the community against murderers.

JEFFRIES ONLY
REAL CHAMPION
C0RBETT AND FlTZ HAD NO
JUST CLAIM
Big Californian Holds Title Supreme
as a Result of Victories
over Every oppo-
nent

The question of who really was cham
pion Of the world is more or less long
and complicated. While Jim Corbett,
Bob Fitzsimmons and others were cred
tied with being holders of the world s
title, Jim Jeffries, up to the time of his
retirement, was the first and only ST.
mon-pure worlds champion since the
Queensberry code has been in vogue.
To be a worlds champion a boxer
must win the titles of the three coun-
tries that constitute the pugiistic world
America, England and Australia.
This Jeffries did, and he is the only
man in the world who has done so.
When Jeffries refereed the Hart-Root
fight in Nevada he publicly announced
his retirement and stated he would
turn over the championship to the
winner Hart won, and when he en-
deavored to protect it against Tommy
Burns in California he was beaten.
Hence Burns justiflable claim to the
championship.
To go deeply into the matter of how
Jeffries acquired the worlds title the
matter stands as follows: John L. Sui
livan was the acknowledged and undis-
puted champion of America, Tom Lees
held the Australian belt and Jem Smith
was recognized as champion of England
by the British boxing experts.
Peter Jackson defeated Lees and won
the belt and title of Australia. Shortly
after the big black came to this coun-
try and resumed the remarkable career
of going fifteen years without tasting
defeat. 1t wasn't long after this until
a new champion sprang up in Australia
Paddy Slavin, known to boxing fame
as the Sydney Cornstock."
He defeated about everybody in Aus
tralia, and during Jacksons absence
claimed the championship Of that coun-
try, a claim that was allowed by some.
Slavin then went to England and met
Jem Smith for the championship of
England, and, as many claimed at the
time, the championship of Australia.
This, in view Of the fact that jackson
was the bona fide champion of the lat
ter country.
The Slavin-Smith battle ended in a
draw. Jackson fastened to England
and defeated both Smith and Slavin,
emphasizing his hold on the Australian
title and incidentally winning the
championship of England. He held
these two titles for years.
The mighty John L. was still the un-
disputed champion of America. Then
came the memorable fight at New Or
leans. when the stripping with the
pompadour hair overthrew the nation
idol. and history repeated itself with
sadness, and the old cry of 1.-The king
is dead; long live the king" was heard.
All this time Jackson had remained
the technical monarch of England and
Australia. But one day he allowed
himself to be pitted against young
California giant named Jeffries. Wher
the new star was declared a winner in
the third round, the world wondered
IT demanded a battle between Jeffries
nnd Fitzsimmons The battle was ar
ranged and the man who had beaten
the champion of Australia and England
added the championship of America to
his list.
That is the whole story in nutshell,
and can easily be verified by reading
up a little on the history of the Queens
berry realm.

JOE THOMAS REGARDED
AS GREAT BALL PLAYER

While II might come as a surprise
to the baseball fans It probably is true
that when Joe Thomas, the welter-
weight champion Of the world, turned
professional boxer, the diamond lost
a star.
This premier boxer was one Of the
most promising youngsters ever turned
out In the west, and It was only a
scratch that he took UP the glove
instead of the mask.
1t has been only three years since
Thomas turned professional, and up
to that time everybody who knew him
thought he would follow the diamond
for a livelihood.
Both Frank Chance and Joe Nealon
wanted Thomas to turn professional
ball tosser, and, while he is very much
engrossed with the boxing game at
present, the advice might take seed
at some future date.
When that baseball fan Jim Corbett
was in Frisco training for the second
Jeffries go, he and Thomas practiced
together every day. and he said at the
time that If Thomas wanted to turn
pro" he was sure he could secure a
berth for him in one of the leagues in
the east.

JUMPS FROM CAR;
FRACTURES SKULL
Mexican Falls Twenty-Five Feet from
TrestIe When He Finds Him
self on the Wrong
Trolley

After leaping from moving Cole
grove car and falling twenty-five feet
into the pit beneath the trestle on the
Colegrove line between Sanborn juno
ton and Hoover street, Alexandra Con
zales, a Mexican laborer, 35 years of age,
was picked up by passengers on follow
ing cars last night and taken to the Sis
ters' hospital where he was found to
be suffering with a fractured skull and
a number of severe bruises.
Gonzales is employed at Pasadena as
foreman of gang of laborers in a
gravel pit He had arranged to visit
Hollywood last night and left Pasadena
for Los Angeles about o'clock. At
10:3O he took the Colegrove car, mis-
taking it for one bound for his destina-
ton.
When the car branched off at the
junction Gonzales saw he was on the
wrong car and rushing to the rear plat
form plunged from the car and into
the deep pit below,
Although nearly unconscious from
tl.e injuries he received the man was
able to cry aloud for help and his
shrieks were heard by passengers on a
second outbound COlegrove car. They
demanded that the car stop while they
administered aid to the injured man
ana ne was lhSn pldSSu ol d car DOuuu
for the city and sent to the hospital.
II do not know how 1t all happened" "
said Gonzales when questioned about
the accident, 81 wanted to get to Hol-
lywood and when 1 saw 1 was on the
wrong car hurried to get off, The car
was going very fast but l did not no
tice 1t. No one on the car saw me
jump as the conductor was in the for
ward part of the car and there was no
one on the back platform. Next time
l will take more care before 1 leap into
the dark"
The point where Gonzales was injured
has been the scene of a number of acci-
dents. Cars have been derailed there
at frequent times and one woman lost
her life at that point some time ago.
1t is looked upon as one of the most
dangerous places on the line between
Los Angeles and Colegroye.

DISPLEASES
SOUTHERN BALL FANS

"Muggsy" McGraw and his band of
Giants are experiencing a stormy time
at New Orleans, and according to re-
ports Manager Frank Of the New Or
leans club says that McGraw will never
again be allowed to play his men inside
the grounds.
1t appears that McGraw objected to
Umpire Charley thinner and refused
to allow his men on the field after 1000
people had gathered to witness a game
scheduled between the Athletics and
Giants.
After the Giants had forfeited, an
unofficial game was played which re-
suited in a 10 whitewash favoring the
Athletics. McGraw has apparently
gone on the warpath again. He was
greatly encouraged by the appearance
of Mike Donlin. who already has begun
to clout the ball with great regularity.
Shay and Corcoran, however, are not
altogether pleasing to McGraw and he
is anxious concerning second base. Gill
bert, the former keystone man, will be
secured If possible.
