The Argus is in receipt of an inter
esting communication from President
Walter l.. Fisher OF the Conservative
= League of America, showing the con-
Trajectory attitudes of NJ. ]. McEniry
and James Mckinney toward the move
ment for the conservation of the nat

communication states that Mr. McEniry
has signified his full approval of the
principles of the league, while Con-
gresham Mckinney has ignored the
leagues request for his approval.
President Roosevelt is the honorary
president of the league; William ].
Bryan is the honorary vice president,
and William II. Taft is also an hon

is one of such great importance that
it seems unusual that Congressman

The letter received by The Argus is
as follows:
Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Editor The Argus.
Rock Island, H.. Your attention has,

that the Conservation League of Amer

declaration of approval:
Il approve of the statement of prin-

my influence and active support"
1t affords us pleasure to advise you
that this declaration has been signed
by the democratic candidate for con

We regret, however, that no reply
has yet been received from the repub

Johnson NOW
VERY CONFIDENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Jack
Johnson, the negro champion who will
fight Tommy Burns on December &c,
has arrived safe and sound at Ere
mantle, Australia, and, according to
the Daily News of Perth, Western
Australia, says:
CT have chased the 'liddle' chap
from his nursey in 'Amurka. I fol-
lowed his Iiddle' footsteps to Paris,
and chased him over to the big
smoke and then succeeded in chasing
him back to Australia. -
"Bah,' broke in Sam Fitzpatrick,
Johnson IS manager, with impotence,
Burns is a Fbluffer, and / don t
know whether we've got him yet or
not. I won t bet on it till [ hear the
bell ring. -
"a buffer he is" Clipped in John
son, in quiet, even, sonorous tone,
''and yet that is the man who has
called me gutter. He is the man who
is going to play for my body all the
time and win out.
The negro gave a grin, and held his
huge fists above his head significantly.
'And am I going to keep my hands
ABOVE MY nedU. 81, NHiie I'uA LS - pay
ing for my body? No, sir. I have
been fighting 16 years now, and [ reck-
on / know more about the game than
any man. 7 am a larger man than he,
and I am cleverer,' added Johnson.
The Perth Daily News says:
"It must not be presumed that this
utterance was delivered in a boastful
spirit They were the well balanced
of man quietly convinced
of his superiority, and Johnson squar-
ed himself as he spoke. What man
he looked!
ellis great stature, most evidenced
in the splendid pair Of shoulders and
the hanging arms, simply appals one.
His commanding presence adds a CLAM
our to his physical being. Standing
over six feet in height, and apparent
w tipping the scales at about 2lO
pounds, one can easily imagine this
man as champion heavyweight. And
the first impression that comes to one
$ the futility of little Canadian
measuring five feet seven inches dane
ng around trying to get behind the
lefense of johnson as he is.

PUNAHOU HAS
4 BARE CHANCE
Soccer Dope Figured Out Shows
Fighting Chance for
TaiIenderS.

Here is the way the soccer situation
stands and it looks like a hard one
to beat for interest on the part of the
supporters of all the teams. The Mai
les and Y. NJ. c. A. have each won two
games and tied one so that they head
the list with five points. The Diamond
Heads have won two games which gives
them four points and the PunahOus
have tied two games and take two
points.
There are two more days to the series
and each team will play two games.
If the series were little longer there
would be good chance for the Puma
hous who have surprised themselves
and everybody else by bucking up ex-
ceedingly during the last two games.
AS it is the best they can possibly do
is to tie with the other three teams
and this can be done if results should
be as follows.
If the Males and Y. NJ. c. A. tie
tomorrow they will each have six
points. Then, if the PunahOu defeat
the Diamond Heads those two teams
will be tied with four points each.
If. on New Year, Day, both the Pu-
nahous and Diamond Heads win their
games. then all four teams will be tied
with six points each and they will have
to play off for the championship.
The possibility of this coming off
NAV seem very remote. but it is not
nearly so remote as one might think.
Both the reds and the Males are very
keen about winning tomorrow and 1T
is well within the bounds of the prob
able that the game will result IN no
score.
As TO whether the Punahous can de-
feat the Diamond Heads it is impossl-
bic to say. Their last meeting was
a disaster for the Punahous but they
are a quite different team from the one
that turned out that time. Again, af-
fer the Punahous have tied with the
Males and the Diamond Heads have
beaten the Y. NJ. G.. 4. it is very pos
sibIe that they can both win their
games next week.
II is a very slim chance, but it is
something for the Punahous to fight
for It is these kind of last chances
that make a team buck up and do the
darndest and Jock Cation s warriors
are of the timbre that does buck up.
To descend from the ideal of what
NAV possibly happen to what will prob
ably happen, it seems to lie between
the Males and Y. NJ. c. \. and it may
be said. without too much assumption
of prescience. that the team winning |
the game tomorrow will get the cham |
pionship.
Whoever wins their games, however, |
tbore will be a rafting exhibition of |
the game for each team will have its
very best material out and each one |
will be fighting for that coveted cham
pionship. Never before has such a sit
nation in athletics presented itself to
the fans here. and the show at the
league grounds on Christmas Day Will
be something to draw any old kind OF
R fan out. rain or shine.

JOHNNY COULON
TO BOX WALSH

SAN FRANCISCO. December r.
Baron Long didn' t 90 back empty
handed. The matchmaker for the jeff
ries Club didn t grab a middleweight
championship bout. but he has one-half
of bantamweight championship card
already bottled. When he ascertained
that he couldn't do ANYTHING with
O'COnnOr. he sought Eddie Keevin and
gained his consent to allow Jimmy
Walsh to box Johnny Coulon for the
bantamweight championship. Walsh has
agreed to make l16 for the shiftv little
Windy City scrapper, who can train
down as low as los pounds without ere
atlng much of a stir in the steamroOm
of Turkish bath. If CouIon will toe
the scratch and is willing to allow
Walsh to scale lie pounds. the midgets
will be staged by the Los Angeles pro
moter during the month of February.
Long also has the championship belt
fever, and if Coulon comes to time will
give the winner a $3.50 belt in addition
to the winners end of 80 per cent. of
the gross receipts. One beauty about
the giving of this belt is that the win
ner becomes the owner of If as soon as
the bout IS over and viii not have to
defend it for the next twenty wears
before it becomes his personal property.

RICH FIND IN PARIS.

Among the many curious museums IN
which Paris is rich the one called the
| Garde Meuble has a unique interest. A
visit to its galleries makes one feel as
if one had touched hands with dead
/ kings and queens. 1t is the most lnti-
mate collection of it's size in all Eu-
| rope.
The reason is that it contains null
titude of objects which were IN per
sonal use by the dead and gone rulers
of France-clothing toilet articles, fur
niture and all sorts of personal be
longings. There are over 1000 articles
in the collection, most of them not on
" interesting but beautiful and costly
as well.
All these things are arranged histor-
icaIlv. so that one sees together the
belongings of Louis XIV, of Louis
XIV. of Louis XVI and Marie An
toinette. of Napoleon, of Louis Phil
inne. of Napoleon III. and Empress Eu-
Genie, and finally examples Of furnish
mos used under the present republic.
Not long ago the directors of the ma
snum decided to take an inventory OF
its treasures. not a third of which are
on nnbIic exhibition. Many Of them
have been boarded carefully-so care
fully. it appears, that the very exist
nnce Of some of them had been forgot
fen. for an interesting discovery has
boen made in one of the houses where
the overflow is stored.
This is a collection of materials IN

rnagnifcence. which were ordered in
1911 bv Napoleon I. for the refurnIsh-
mo of the great chateau at Nersallies'
unoecupied since the tragic departure
of Marie Antoinette.
Napoleon had been living in the Iri,
anon across the park from the grand
chateau. but decided that he was
cramnad there and that he would reign
at the huge palace in sPlendor NOT
second to that with which Louis XVI
had filed it. So he sent orders to the
six and velvet merchants Of Lyons Tor
immense quantities of costly fabrics
for bangings and upholstering.
The idea was a trifie too late. ne

,,ov+ +vo wears were spent on hum

MAY PLAY
FIRST FOR YANKS

Who will play first for the Yanks
next season is the question that is
agitating the Gotham fans of the
American League. One writer says:
The one best bet is that Bud Sharpe, the
crack first baseman of the Newark In
dams, is the logical candidate for the
job. Sharpe has been the champion
first baseman of the Eastern League
for the last two seasons. Stallings,
who has about decided to trade Chase
to some other club, has a high opinion
Of Sharpe, and just before the close of
the 1908 season he boosted him in the
following words:
THAT Sharpe boy is wonder
Chase is rated as the star first baseman
in the country, but the Californian has
little on Sharpe. 1t is a big puzzle how
Sharpe escaped the big league so long.
He has good head, is a swell fielder,
and fine sticker. Sharpe not only led
the Eastern League first basemen, but
he hit the ball hard and often. The I'M
official averages give him an average
of $50. Sharpe eXcelled all other bats
men of the Eastern League when it
came to pinch hitting.'
Should Sharpe make the Yanks it will
not be his first appearance in the big
league, as he was with the Boston team
SIX seasons ago. From the Hub he
jumped to the Tri-State League. After
being reinstated he went to Scranton.
and from there he went to the Newark
club in the fall of 1906. Before enter
ing professional company he played on
the Penn State nine, at which uni
versity he was a cIassmate of Lefty
McIlveen, whom Stallings turned over
to the Yanks last season.

MANS DAILY FIGHT.

Modern life, says recent medical
writer. is quite as effective as war in
killing off men. The increased death
rate among business men in our cities
has generally been variously attributed
to unhvgienic feeding, exposure to
weather. nervous strain and so on.
These are probably no more potent to-
day than they have always been. The
death rate among men has always been
higher than with the other sex, but in
the present day city life seems to be
replacing war as a destroyer. doubt
less because of its unwholesome en-

RACE CONNOLLY

LOS ANGELES, December He. L..
Pickering, local sporting man, yester-
day received positive assurance from
Dorando Pietri, the Italian runner, that
he would meet Cornelius Connolly of
San Francisco at the conclusion of his
match with ''Indian' Longboat. The
terms of the Dorando-COnnollv match
are still to be arranged. but Pickering
says he will be able to make generous
offers to each of the runners. Great in
terest in the match is expected in Cali
fornia owing to the large number of
prosperous Italians in the State.
