COULON ONCE MORE
BEATS KID MURPHY

PEORIA. Ill, Jan. 50-In one Of the
fercest battles ever seen IN a Peoria
ring, Johnny CoHlon, OF Chicago, last
evening was given his second decision
over Kid Murphy, OF New York, and is,
therefore, doubly entitled 10 the ban

Murphy was much stronger than in
the former meeting, o. January s, and
for the first few rounds made a better
showing than IL their other Peoria con-
test.
From the sixth round on he steadily

TEACHERS CONVENTION.
New President and Next Meeting
Place Topics of Discussion.

Cleveland, July 1.-The technical
side of the educational problem, or
rather the science of teaching In its
various phases, was taken up by diff
ferent groups of the delegates who are
attending the annual convention of
the National Educational association.
The matter Of selecting the next
president and the place for holding
the next annual convention are topics
of generous discussion. While these
points will not be officially reached by
the convention for several days the
campaigning is becoming lively
Among those prominently mentioned
for the presidency are DR.. w. O..
Thompson, president of the Ohio State
university, Columbus. o.; ]. H. Phil
lips, Birmingham, Ala, and l.. d. Har-
vey of Menominee, Wis. The Central
Eastern states, whichghave the largest
representation at the convention, are
said to favor the selection of Dr.
Thompson.
Denver and Atlantic City are the
two candidates for the next conven-
tion. So far these are the only cities
that have appeared in the foreground.

POISONED ALE BY EXPRESS
Unknown Parties Cause Death ot
Philadelphia Physician.

Philadelphia, July 1.-The police
of this city hope to be able to make
an important move shortly in the cas- e
of DIR. William H. Wilson, who died
suddenly after drinking bottle of ale
and who Is believed to have been poi
soned. 1t was at first thought that
the doctor had died from natural
causes, but there were so many sus-
picious circumstances surrounding his
death that the coroner investigated.
This resulted in an expressed opinion
that DR.. Wilson was poisoned and
that he did not administer the poison
himself.
Anticipating a murder verdict by
the coroner the police soon after the
death of Dr. Wilson began an investi-
cation into his life and habits. At the
North Seventh street house where DR..
Wilson had lived for about ten years
there was no sign indicating that a
physician lived there. He did not do
general practice in the neighbor-
hood. He had patients, however, and
they are said to have been principally
women who were able to pay well for
his services. The line of practice the
doctor had was highly remunerative,
for he was noted as good spender"
and he had a summer home at Corn
wells, near Philadelphia, steam
launch and an automobile.
The motive for the supposed muir
der is believed to be hidden in DR..
Wilson's medical practice. The the.
ory of the police is that male friend
or relative of a woman who Is be-
lieved to have died after receiving
medical attention at the hands of DR..
Wilson sent the poisoned ale

GREAT FLEET ASSEMBLED
Three Hundre British Warships to
Take Part in Maneuvers.

London, July 1.-The mobilization
of all British warships in home waters
available for immediate service has
been completed for the annual naval
maneuvers and Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford finds himself in supreme
command of a total of not less than
301 ships, with an aggregate compile
ment OF $4,000 officers and men. With
the exception of the coast guards all
these men are on the active list of
the navy.
Local pride In the record size of
this feet is pronounced and the news
papers, while they proclaim that the
array of ships in the North sea is in
no way connected with Germany, do
not fail incidentally to compare this,
the greatest feet ever assembled in
the history of the world, with the fleet
of sixty-two vessels with which Ger
many recently carried out her North
sea maneuvers.

FINALLY RESULT IN DEATH
Injuries Sustained by Guard When
Mckinley Was Shot.

Chicago, July 1.--Albert Gallaher,
for many years in the secret service
of the United States and one of those
detailed as the personal bodyguard of
the late President Mckinley at the
time of his assassination, is dead here.
1t was Gallaher who seized the wrist
of CZolgosz after the fatal shot was
fired and wrenched the weapon from
his hand. Gallaher was mistaken by
the crowd for the assassin and was
set upon and beaten. To this fact,
according to the attending physician,
Gallaher's death was indirectly due,
an affection of the liver having devel-
oped from injuries which he received
at that time.
After his experience at Buffalo Gal
laher was under physicians care for
a time, but the extent of his injuries
was not then realized. He was later
transferred from Chicago to ST. Paul,
where he became i'll and untitled for
duty last October.

MITCHELLFOR SECOND PLACE
Indiana Delegate Favors Nomination
of Labor Leader.

Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-W. HI.
Everoad of Columbus, Ind, who was a
caller at the Fairview residence of
William ]. Bryan, declared that he is
not for John w. Kern of his state for
vice president. John Mitchell should
be named, he thought, to prove to the
labor unions that the Democratic party
is the true friend of labor.
The Democratic party has always
been the friend of labor and with a
strong anti-injunction plank in the
platform and John Mitchell for vice
president there could be no doubt
about this In the mind of any man"
said he. Il love Mr.. Kern, as do all
the delegates from my state, but we
believe that Mr. Bryan would have as
many votes from Indiana without him
as with him on the ticket"

ENFORCE NEUTRALITY LAWS
Washington Officials Cooperating
With Mexican Government.

Washington, July with troops
in readiness on both sides of the in
ternational border the developments
in the insurrectionary situation in
Northern Mexico are being watched
with the closest interest from Wash
ington. The official machinery of this
government is cooperating to the full
est extent with that of the Diaz gov
ernment and from this city the state
department, the war department and
the department of justice are work
ing together in a common movement
for the preservation of neutrality

Full instructions for the thorough en-
forcement of this policy are in effect

FEW POLITICIANS ON HAND
More Newspaper Men Than Delegates
at Denver.

Denver, July From present ap-
pearances 1t is probable that the ma
1ority of the delegates and alternates
to the Democratic national convention
will be in Denver only a short time
before the convention opens. Thus
far not a single state delegation has
arrived, only few have started and
paper men on the ground than poll
ticians. Probably the first active par
Elephants in the convention to reach
Denver will be those who left Chicago
several days ago in automobiles and
who visited Lincoln Monday on their
westward journey.
All of the available space in the
hotels already has been reserved by
the state delegations and such visitors
to the convention as were prompt in
applying for rooms and the Denver
Convention league, a non-partisan or
ganization, has arranged TO provide
qnsS-ters in all desirable sections of
the city for any number of people. The
league has adopted the plan which
was first used at the Worlds Colum-
bian exposition at Chicago and has
since been put in practice in other
parts of the country upon occasions Of
a similar nature. A bureau of infor-
nation in charge of competent and
we'll informed men has been estab-
lished at the Union depot, where all
rooms, with the price and other par
ticulars concerning them, are listed.

Omaha, July 1.--Official announce

ago because of the financial unrest
