Consul r. E. Holiday. of Santiago
de Cuba, reports that the orange crop
of Cuba this year will be the large st
in the history of the island and Will
reach 100000 boxes. Until the last
three years large quantities of oranges
were annually imported into Cuba
from Florida and California, and while
the scientific cultivation of the fruit
is yet in its infancy, its development
has been so rapid and generally pro

indianapolis Lad Meets BeeI
Who Failed to Throw DEM
etraI in an Hour.
A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT
EYES OF THE SPORTING WORLD
ARE NOW TURNED TOWARD
BOUT TO BE HELD TONIGHT
DEMETRsL HAS FUTURE.

Charles Olson has a very good rea
son for wishing to defeat Demetral,
the Greek demon, in the match at the
Coliseum this evening.
1t is announced that arrangements
have been practically completed for a
match in the near future between Oh
son and Fred Beel at the Chicago Col
iseum for a purse of 81 900. Beel, with
out doubt is one of the raost wonderful
wrestlers in the world, however, not
long ago he dropped a large sum of
money by failing TO throw Demetral in
an hour. Should Olson be able to de-
feat the Greek, he will feel confident
that he has a good show of winning
from the 165 pound Wisconsin marvel.
Richmond people probably do not
appreciate the fact that this evening
when Olson and Demetral meet, one of
the most importantevents in the sport
ing world will be pulled off. Both
men are of championship calibre and
the result Of the match will be watch
ed with keen interest throughout the
country.
Olson is, without doubt, one of the
best wrestlers of his weight in the
world The same is true Of Demetral,
who has a record of only eight defeats
in his career. His victories is long
list, having defeated not only Olson
himself, but such men as Leo Pardel-
10, John Rooney, Chris Pearson, Wink
elhoefer, All Hamit. Carl Pons, Bob
Douglas, Farmer Burns, Dan Mcleod,
Carl Busch, Wassan and Turner.
In Europe, Hackenschmidt, whom
Gotch defeated for the worlds cham
pionship, failed to throw him once in
an hour. Gotch failed to throw him in
forty-five minutes and he defeated
Jim Parr, English light heavyweight
champion for the English light heavy
weight championship. His champion
ship belt is now on exhibition here.
Demetral has a wonderful future
ahead Of him. He is only % years o.
age and has not yet come into the full
strength of his magnificent manhood.
Lean of shank. he Is, but his chest and
arms are marvels of development. The
man who makes the mistakes tonight
is the one who loses. Prior to the big
match Frank Prindle and Joe LaSalle
will meet.

WILL ASK STATE
FOR EXCISE BOARD
MILWAUKEE BREWERS BACK OF
PLAN FOR COMMISSION
ON LICENSES.

Milwaukee, Nov. 1S.-A bill will be
presented to the Wisconsin legisla-
ture for the creation of a state excise
commission.
The movement for the creation of
this commission will come from the
brewers themselves. and although it
is understood that they are not united
on the ACCESSIBILITY of the creation of
the commission The men interested in
breweries who believe in the estab-
hshment OF the commission will ask
the legislature to act, even though it
be opposed by some of the brewery
interests
Not much can be obtained in re
gard to the powers which it is pro
posed to give the commission, for the
reason that the plan is as yet some
what in embryo As near as can be
learned, however, the principal pow
ers which will be given the commits
sion will be:
l. The placing with the commission
the power of the revocation Of all sa-
loon licenses.
.. Power to investigate into all mat
ters pertaining to excise question and
to collect accurate and thorough fig
ures as to the result of the use of
liquors containing alcohol.
The men behind the bill say that
the question of the revocation of ss
loon licenses is most important and
they declare that only can justice be
done in the matter by taking this
power away from cities and placing it
in the hands of non-partisan COM
mission which shall have the power
to make a complete investigation
when any demand is made for the
revocation of any saloon keepers IL
cense for any cause.
1t is claimed that the proposition
will he for a commission to be COM
posed of three members, who shall
be chosen because of their fitness to
serve.
1t is said that the bill will provide
that one of the members Of the com
mission shalIA be a physician, who
can bring his medical knowledge to
bear in the Investigations as to the
alleged injury or benefit derived from
alcoholic liquors.
