Battling Nelson Is Champion.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Battling
Nelson today won the title of light
weight pugilist of the world from the
man who defeated him at Goldfield,
New, almost two years ago. He
knocked out Joe Cans in the seven
teenth round, after fight as desperate
as any that has been seen here In
years. Fighting from the beginning
to the end of every round, moving un-
ceasingly forward and never going
around, Nelson, with his bulldog
tenacity and wonderful stamina,
slowly battered down the colored
fighter. The end was not sudden, and
there were few who watched the prog.
ress of the battle and saw Cans grow
weaker and weaker from round to
round, but had made up their minds
as to the result before the decision
was given.

Washing improves Coal.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-That the
washing of coal will prove an impor.
tant factor in saving the diminishing
supply of fuel resources of this coun.
try has already been demonstrate by
the technologic branch of the United
States geological survey. It has been
shown conclusively that the washing
results in reduction of the impuri.
ties, the ash and the sulphur in such
quantities as to m AXE hitherto worth
less coal of much value to the consu.
mers. The lessening of these impuri.
ties, of course, increases the percent
age of fixed carbon and volatile m after
over the amounts present in raw coal.
From these tests it is evident that
millions of tons OF coal now going to
waste may be used and that other coal
of low grade may be made much more
valuable to the people.

Thousands Of Idle Men.

HELENA, June 30.-A Helena man
whose business brings him in close
touch with railroad construction said
today that there are not less than a
quarter Of q million men who have
been brought to the northwest in the
past three years to work on railroad
construction who are now idle. All of
the lines which have been employing
large forces in this country are now
reducing them, as the requirement for
labor no longer exists to larger ex.
tent than can be met by the various
communities, and hence the imported
help is being laid off. The hundreds
OF men who are passing east daily are
part of the forces which have been
discharged on the sound and the Pa
cific coast.

HELENA, July A. Hereafter any
one who has to do with schoolhouses
teachers, janitors and pupils-in
every part OF the state, must be vac

der made today by the state board OF

with q discussion of the situati at
Bozeman, where there have been cases
Of smallpox recently. 1t was said the
local authorities at Bozeman are
dealing with the situa alton intelligently
and SO long as they are able to cope
with it no action will be taken by the

which have not such farms, are or
dered to put them in. The action 10

EAST LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, June
30.-Fully 500 men and women knelt
before the altar which was erected on
Zion hill, just east Of the court house
in West Las Vegas, last night and

services, but the supplications were
offered by ratives Of the country in
relays, and lasted throughout the
night. The altar 10 one of the most
beautiful creations ever seen here, and
ST. Anthony is the patron.
The services were not sanctioned by
the Catholic clergy here, and no priest
was present. The chant OF the sup.
plicants could be heard by q great
portion of the city throughout the
night. This prayer service is general

lnsulted American Emblem.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The -Ameri.
cans in Panama have had cause for
heated protests recently, not on &C.
count of the Panama elections, but
because of an incident which called
into action a portion of the Panaman
army. A commercial house in Colon
insulted the American flag, using 1t to
wash the windows of the establish.
ment.
Wayne o. Adams of the canal zone,
as the story goes, witnessed the desc
Grafton of the stars and stripes and
engaged in hard fought battle for
the possession of one of the flags,
which was being used to clean the
windows. He was pursued, according
to reports, by section of the army ot
Panama, consisting of two policemen
and lieutenant general in full rega'
liza.
AS a result Of the disrespect shown
the flag by the commercial house in
question, the canal zone from one end
to the other was hung with boycott
signs and the two offenders have found
much less expensive wash rags.

Democratic Committee Needs Money

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The demo-
cratic congressional committee is con-
fronting hard proposition in the
matter of money to carry on the cam.
paign and its chairman is to go to
New York for the purpose of breaking
in some barrels of democrats in whose
loyalty to the party he has confidence.
The committee has begun it's work two
months ahead of scheduled time this
year and, while it usually calls for
money in September, it is stated that
it's work is so far advanced that it
now must have funds or call halt in
the sending out of its literature. It
has made extensive preparations,
which it is ready to put into effect, in
keeping with the early campaign pro-
ject. MIR. Lloyd stated today that he
does not expect to have his campaign
brought to a standstill and he believes
the result of his visit to New York
will be to allow him to go ahead with
the execution of plans that have been
made.

Railroad Foreman Murdered.

M1ssoULA, July 4.-Holmes Hayes
foreman at the St. Paul tunnel at
Taft. near this city, was shot to death
at noon today by five Montenegrans
in retaliation for the death Of q fellow
countryman at the hands of Hayes
last October. Hayes was waylaid as
he was returning to camp at TAFT for
dinner. He was attacked from am.
bush and fell at the first fire. The
frenzied foreigners then literally
hacked his body to pieces with knives
and made their escape over the noun.
tains into Idaho.
Deputy Sheriff Callahan hastily Or
ganized large posse Of experienced
rangers and started in pursuit. The
fugitives are known to be we'll armed
and it is thought that pitched battle
will follow should the posse overtake
them. The deed was carefully planned
and came as a climax to feud which
started last October. The names OF

New Methods in Land Office.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The anti
qua:ed methods of keeping records re.
lating to public lands, many of which
have been in vogue since the general
land Office was first organized nearly
100 years ago, are to be superseded
BY the most approved modern business
system. When the changes go into
effect the district land offices and the
general land Office in Washington will
be able to identify any application or
entry more readily than under the old
system. All persons rendering moneys 8
to the receivers at the land Offices will
in the future be given q receipt for
such moneys. Each district land Of
fee is to be furnished with modern
Office supplies.

Homesteads On Coal Lands.

LEWIsToWN, July 2.-Several con.
tests have been filed in the Lewistown
land Office against homestead entries
in the vicinity of Roundup, the basis
being in each case that the land is
more valuable for its coal than for
agricultural purposes.
The finest body of coal ever opened
up in the county has been developed
at Roundup by the Subsidiary com.
pany of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul and about 250 tons is being
brought up each day, while arrange
ments are being made whereby this
output will be greatly increased.
1t is claimed that this coal exists in
many of the homesteads and the first
of the contests has just been heard.
Following the usual course decision
will doubtless be announced in about
two months.

change of views among leaders, and
to give the presidential nominee an

The convention to be opened tomorrow
by the democracy of the nation is to
be ratification meeting, not free.
for-all race. The hundreds Of dele.
gates and thousands Of other visitors
assembled here today are practically
unanimous on this point. The New
York and Minnesota deleg ations, with
few other anti Bryan deleg ates, oc.
cupy forlornly q little island of their
own, entirely surrounded by the dash.
ing waves of Brya an enthusiasm. Their
voices are drowned in the rumbline
roar Of the Bry an sea whose sirens
sing only the praises Of the peerless
one. And the wreckage of this sea is
the blasted hopes and bursted boom of
John johnson of Minnesota.
Ignatius j. Dunn, city attorney OF
Omaha, and one of the delegates at
large from Nebraska, will nominate
Bryan. Then will come the formality
Of vote. At Bryan's headquarters,
it is alleged that the Nebraskan will
receive in the neighborhood OF 500

ton, while taking no formal action,
had btcu canvassed and found to
stand for Towne. Several southern
delegations had also expressed their
preference for Towne, including Ala
bama and Mississippi. The Towne
managers claimed that If New York
would give some encouragement to
their man he was ALMOST certain OF
sufficient strength from outside to as
! sure his nomina alton.
