BOUTS FOR NEXT
WEEK ARRANGED


Jack Scully has arranged the details
for the Independence club events for
next Monday and Tuesday nights. Me
Kay will not meet soldier Mccullough
tomorrow night as he has sprained his
wrist. But, in his place, one Chuck
Connors will go up against the doughty
soldier and his friends aboard the Penn
sylvania state that he is capable of
putting up very lively bout.
Monday night viii bring out very
attractive program. First on the list
we have the long waited for return
match between Gunboat Smith and Hig
gins. This will go twenty rounds and
will decide the heavyweight champion
ship of the Pacific feet and may be the
first stepping stone for Smith on the
way to the heavyweight championship
of the world. He is a youngster, is tall
and well built and has the physical ad
vantages of reach and stamina such as
Bob Fitzimmons and Jeffries in their
palmist days never knew.
The next on the list is fifteen round
go between Shurlock and Frommer for
the welterweight championship of the
fleet and there will be four-round pre-
liminary between two classy lads who
are not yet decided on out of the host
of aspirants for the place.
On Tuesday night the winner Of the
Fox Trinkle go tomorrow night will
meet frankie Smith. This will be a
twenty-round affair or fifteen if the
sailor prefer it. On that same night
Schindle, champion wrestler of the COM
bined fleets will wrestle sailor Roberts
and there is a substantial side bet put
up to assure that the men are out for
blood
There will be a four-round boxing
to these two goes and there /
IS no lack of aspirants to fame for this
oout. The three programs look very
good on paper and should provide ex. I
,elent sport and amusement for all
hose who like to watch wrestling and .
boxing

MIR. BlKKER'S SUCCESS

A. w. Rikker. jr.. an agent fol the Continental Casualty Company of Chicago, was in the city a few weeks ago interesting a large per. centage of the population of the town in his proposition. His un- precedented sucoess in this com munity was not due to the fact thai he represented the Continental Casualty Company, but to the fact that he let people know that he was in the insurance business. He was one of those hustling kind of fellows who do things, while the other fellows sit around and wait for someone to do something for them. There are plenty of men who have fully as attractive prop ositions as MT. Bikker has, but do not succeed as he does, because they seem to be afraid someone will find out they are in the insur- anoe business. MT. Bikker's suc- cess should be an object lesson to local people who have good things to offer the public. MT. Bikker succeeded because he let people know that he something they want ed. In order to succeed one must possess something people want and above all, he must let people know that he possesses it.

and the rest of the mangled dele gations followed. And, by the way, Earth was one of the striking char acters of the convention who made speech wanting in the rounded periods of the gifted Ashurst, but touching on life in the frontier county which was genuinely elo- quent and revealed the heart of the kind of men who go into a wilder ness and hew out a state. Earth. who Is taller around the waist than he is perpendicular. created laugh and caught his hearers when h+ said at the beginning that the Apache delegation was a unit in numbers but big in size.
 When Ashurst left the stage the delegates crowded around him and overwhelmed him with congratula- tions on his speech, which was a splendid word picture of the speak CTS view of the man he had nomi- hated. Seeonding speeches were made by George H. Neal, mayor of Bishee; Isaac Earth, district attor- ney of Apache. and others. When Marieopa was reached Judge J. H. Langston in an eloquent effort, named Brady O'Neill, and the nominations were closed.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The democratic territorial con vention to place in the field nom inee for delegate in congress was held at Present. last Saturday. Henry F. Ashurst was temporary chairman. James Kennedy of Will. jams was the Coconino county mem- Der of the committee on crsden- tials; Dr. c. D. Jeffries of the oom- mittes on permanent organization ; and l.. s. Williams of the commit tee on resolutions.
 Judge John J. Hawkins was per manent chairman.
 Mark Smith was again nomina- ted for delegate. receiving the vote of all the counties except Yuma and Maricopa, which voted for Flu gene Brady O'Neill.
 Joseph P. Dillon was reelected chairman of the territorial central committee.
 The new Coeonino county central committee is as follows: T. A. Rior- dan and Jesse Gregg, of Flagstaff; George D. Patten and James Ken nedy, of Williams.
 Henry F. Ashurst, the gifted son of Coconino county, in placing Smith in nomination. made a great speech, which has called forth many expressions of admirations from the press of the territory. MT. Ash urst is already spoken of as prob able candidate for United States senator, and if his party is in con trol of political matters when Ari- zona becomes state. we predict that he will be one of the first two men to represent the new state in the upper house of congress.
 We clip the following from the Prescott Journal Miner:
 "The nomination of delegate tc congress was then in order and Apache yielding to Coconino, Henry F. Ashurst took the platform and dominated Smith.
 "Ashurst, perhaps the best polit ical speaker in the democratic party of Arizona. gifted with . silver tongue. a golden larynx and a per sorality and presence suggestive O William Jennings Bryan, betra yet the qualities of the astuts politi elan that he is. and which he hope will land him in Smiths shoes O even inside of a senatorial toga Already has the able district attor ney of Coconino announced him self as a candidate to succeed Smitl in the house of representatives tw' years hence. Somehow he wa chosen yesterday to place th etymologieal descendant of tn Roman philosopher in nomination and right well he performed hi task. With a rare understa n din of human nature Henry took Mar GUS Aurelius on the wings of Jov to the pinnacle of Olympus. com pared him to Ceasar. Napoleon Washington, Jefferson and Lin coln, and then droppsd from tn sublime to the ridiculous by sue gesting that any newspaper whicl suggested that this perfect mal could do wrong deserved to be slap ped on the wrist.
 'The day will come," declares Ashurst. with passionate emotion when some one may succeed Mar Smith, but no one will ever talk his place."
 Great applause followed fror Statesman Ike Earth of Apach

Cape Town, August 14.--The Trans

the serious problem of pauperism,
which Affects the whole of South AT
RIGA, reports that the number OF poor
whites is increasing daily. and that the
increase is traceable to the prejudice
among the entire community against
manual labor. A secondary cause, in
the opinion of the Commission, is the
primitive agricultural traditions and
the fixed idea that every coupntryman
must own land The Commission rec
commends a variety of remedial meas
ures, among which are included gov
eminent encouragement Of white la

Twenty-First Anniversary Of the
Accession Of Ferdinand As
Prince Of Liberty.
Hearst News Service.

Sofia. Bulgaria, August 14.-Celebra-
tons are being held today throughout
Bulgaria to commemorate the twenty
first anniversary of the accession of
Ferdinand as prince of Bulgaria and
the consequent freedom of the country
from Turkish thraldom.
During Ferdinand's reign Bulgaria
has made many advances toward a
wider and freer liberty. Moslems,
Jews, Roman Catholics and the vari-
Gus sects of the Eastern Christian
churches now live in amity. The cred
If of the nation has become better
than ever before.
The only blot on Ferdinand's reign
was the assassination of the prime
minister Stambouloff, to whom Ferdi-
nand owed his throne. Stambouloff
was called the Bulgarian Bismark,"
and was statesman of great ability.
His cold-blooded murder on the streets
of Sofia is yet unpublished, and there
is still a suspicion in many quarters
that Ferdinand shared in the respon-
sibility for the crime.
