Americas Opinion Wrong.

Public opinion in America must

In Europe, perhaps even in Italy, a
wife infinitely richer than the young
woman he has chosen. Americans
who visit Italy are well aware of our
continental progress. 1t, therefore, is
extraordinary to think that a section
of Americans believes that for y
million dollars one of our princes, who
possesses in lis W right two oil
three times that sum OF money, could
have sold his arms and his heart. The
enlightened opinion of America, must
by a striking demonstration, rid this
marriage of the odious character

SINGER WINS HER
SUIT FOR SALARY

Miss Mamie Delventhal, snare
drum player at Pfister's palm gar
den. appeared in court yesterday
afternoon as witness for the
management of the garden in the
suit brought against Pfster's by
the pretty, black-eyed Spanish
singer, Josephine Meza, who sued
for over $500 for nine weeks sal
airy at $40 per week and some
thing in addition for expenses.
When Miss Delventhal approach
ed the witness stand her gait SEEM
ed little uncertain, and she acted
as If slightly dazed. Instantly the
attorney for Miss Meza, Harry
Darby, was on his feet with an
objection to Miss Delventhal Of
fering testimony on the ground
that she was intoxicated.
o. c. Moore, attorney for Pts
ter's, protested against the objec-
ton, and his protest was sustained
by the court. Judge Huneke, how
ever, told Miss Delventhal to step
aside, and she Immediately left
the courtroom, without giving any
testimony.
The jury in the case, after 20
minutes deliberation, brought in
verdict for Miss Meza for $3.50.

to, but his defensive ability gener-
ally makes this unnecessary. De-
laney is firm believer in the value
of left hand. He has often de-
clared that man without a good
left cannot become a champion,
and his protege has as dangerous a
larboard whip as ever hung from
the shoulder of pugilist.
Only 49, without bad habits,
Kaufman may indeed be the next
heavyweight champion of the world
providing Jack Johnson does not
defeat Tommy Burns. In which
event the big black may retain the
title for a short time.
Since he entered the ring in 1904,
Kaufman has participated in IL
important battles, winning all but
two over the knockout route. His
longest fight was with Jack
O'Brien, whose skill enabled him to
go II rounds before he went to the
mat. In all of his battles Kauf
mann has shown a high degree OF
courage, generalship, boxing ability
and willingness to fight from gong
to gong. He frames up as the most
logical successor to Jim Jeffries
and as real champion in all that
the name implies.
