THIN SKIN
 OF DAVILA
Source of Annoyance to
 the State Department
The HOnduran Order Can- ceiling EXequaturs of Foreign COnsuls.

Washington, July 31.-An unpleas- ant situation has developed between the United States and Honduras by the action of President Davila in can cellipg c~egIa f-,- ,.s fsslui., ss,ii.si.Is, tli Honduras because of their alleged friendliness to the revolutionists. These officers include American Consul Dind- ard, Vice Consul Reynold. and the vice consuls of France and Norway
 Reports which reached the state de- partment uphold the contention of the .consuls that they have not been guilty of any breach of propriety that they did not advise the surrender of the town when it was demanded by the revolutionists, but simply cpmmuni- cated the demand to the commandant.
 The incident has caused considerable annoyance to this government. which ever since the revolution in Honduras commenced, has eXerted it's best eff forts to prevent any breach of neu- trality in Central Americca, which might prove adverse to President Da- villas government.
 Assistant Secretary Bacon had a Icall today from Senor Ugarte, the iloiuul ldH iilllSttI NHo pTeSelleu to Mir. Bacon some information he had ireceived from Foreign Minister Fiallos giving the Honduras side of the con- troversy. Bacon will take the matter up again next week. He intended to start on an official mission to Porto Rico tomorrow, but this and other state questions demanding his at tention have made it necessary to de- lay his departure.

BLOW
 SAVED BELT
Kelly Had the Champion
 KetCheII Going
The Tide Was Suddenly Turned In the Third Round.

San Francisco, July 31.-Stanley Ketchel of Grand Rapids made short work of Hugo Kelley of Chicago to- night at the Coliseum, in the sched- uIed twenty round contest for the worlds middle weight championship. He knocked his man out after twen- ty-five seconds of fighting in the third round, with a left shift flush to jaw. putting Kelly on the floor.
 Although Ketchel won early, the victory was not an easy one. In fact it looked bad for the champion as he strode to his seat after the sec Ond round. In two fast rounds Kel- ly outfought his man from the tap of the gong to the end of the round.
 Early in the first round Kelly de- veloped wicked lefts to the face and his punches to the body made Ketch- el groan perceptibly. Toward the close of the round Ketchel drove a smashing left to the head that par tially closed the Chicago fighters left eye.
 THE SHORT STORY.
 Round 1. Ketche1 danced around Kelly. He missed a right for jaw and a body blow also missed Kelly drove a right to the face and Ketch- el slipped to his knees. He was up quickly, mixing it hard but Kelly whipped a left and right to the stomach. A wicked mix followed, Ketchel putting a right to the head and Kelly sending a right and left to the body. As Kelly back away Ketchel caught him on the jaw with I,;.. I.r hot at KetchePs stomach and forced Ketchel to mix it. Kelly jared his man with two vicious rights to the jaw and the bell rang with Ketchel looking serious. Kelly gave him considerable punishment and had a big lead as the round ended. Kelly went to his seat with a badly swOl- len eye.
 Round 2. Ketchel swung a right to jaw and they mixed at close range, Kelly uppercutting with a right to the jew. Kelly put a left to face, then staggered Ketchel with vicious blow to the chin. Ketchel kept boring in. but the best he could do was to get in a straight left to the face. Kelly pared Ketchel with straight left to stomach and then he put a right and left to the body. Ketchel put two straight lefts to jaw and they mixed viciously as the bell ended the round. Kelly had all the better of it. Ketchel bled as he took his seat.
 Round 3. Ketchel sent three lefts to jaw quick as a flash. The third was a vicious left and caught Kelly flush on the jaw and sent him to the floor, as if shot. He was unable to rise and was counted out.

BUSINESS MEN TO TAKE
 INTEREST IN EDUCATION
By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

consider it a much prized privilege to at tend such conference and contribute my mite in a cause in which none of us are doing what our duty tells us should be done for those who are to come after us and assume the responsibilities which are now OurS.'
 Another Endorsement.
 T. G. Bush, an iron manufacturer and coal operator of the Birmingham district long prominent far above the average. as well as a public spirited citizen, says: 'I think the position well taken. l have always thought that we would have bet ter results in the administration of our state affairs if business men would take more interest in them and have their influence felt. Their experience ought to be worth something to the state. l shall be very glad to do anything l can to further the interest of education of all kinds In this state"
 Colonel Bush has for some time taken a decided interest in the progress and up- building of the various peoples who have been in the employ of concerns over which he exercises control. He has had experience in that class of educational movement which has to do with mines and furnaces, and he Is able to give valuable information just here which IS a place where many mistakes have been maQe Tn Iil9 past ana SoOu have long tried to bring out the best of results.
 Other Expressions.
 Harry c. Gunnes, state sueprintendent of education, is in thorough accord with the proposition. He says: "The time used to be in Alabama when only educators led in forward educational movements That time is passed. Business men have come to realize that from business standpoint If not from any other, the fu- ture development of the state depends on an educated citizenship In great many instances they are giving to the up-lift- ing educational movement their time, money and thought. The department or education welcomes the proposed confer ence It will mean much for educational advancement in Alabama"
