BOXING NEWS

There has just come from San Fran cisco, the Mecca of the great boxers 6 story of remarkable proposition to Packey Mcfarland by Billy Nolan the man who made Battling Nelson rich Incidentally it shows how un- lucky one lighter may be and what luck another may fall into.
 Before Nelson and Joe Cans had come to their agreement to box before Conroths club, Nolan, who was greatly attracted by the cleverness of the stockyards youngster, offered to pay him $l0,000 to work for him for one year. Should the contract have proved mutually satisfactory 1t might be re- newed, Actors have been hired in that way, Billy Brady, who once managed Jim Corbett has had several on his string under such an arrang ement. But It is doubtful If ever before such an offer was made to boxer.
 The agreement provided that Nolan should be the dictator of all the pu- gllistic and theatrical appearances of Mcfarland, The manager was to se- lect the opponents, receive all the money, and was to be the boss of the training camp. The negotiations began when Mcfarland broke with Harry Gil- more, jr,, the manager who had made him, and was out in Frisco padding his own canoe. Nolan was so strong IlnI II Wd5 DtlleNtu lnHl He COulu nave had the match with Cans for McFar- land and shut Nelson out of 1t. It was that match on which he was figuring. In fact, Cans was so anxious to fight Mcfarland 1t will be remembered. that just before he signed with Nelson he went all the way to Chicago from the coast to try to get Packey, The latter however, believing like most of the fight fans, that Cans was still the gerat champion he had been for years didn't want any of'his game
 He hesitated nrtersho had returnet to the court and Nolan waited fo, an an answer. Then he signed with Freddie Welch to appear before Jn Jeffrios club in Los Angeles, and Mel which he had been playing for such 6 long time. The moment the Nelson Cans match was made, Nolan dropped the stockynrds boy That was tn, match he wanted. Hc believed tha not only would he be able to clear up his s1o,o0O on the fight, but tha Mcfarland could beat Cans. Thus as lightweight champion, much more thar $l0,0G0 could be made during the course of the year the contract was to run.
 Nolan knew what others now know that Cans was all in. He knew that Mcfarland could nave beaten the olt champion in shorter order than dlC Nelson. Nelson pounded away for sev' ontccn rounds at a physical wreck-g mere shell of a champion--before he was able to put him away. In the thlrt round of the contest Ben Sellg whC looked after the chamnion's interest noticed that Joe was beginning to tire and that he was not fighting in his ole form.

general election by ballot every fourth year; irremoVable judges, etc. The first Turkish parliament was opened March 19, 1877, with 30 Sena- tors and 90 deputies in attendance, and on this date the first speech from the throne was read. The carrying out of this project of reform, however, was quite impossible under the condi- tlonse prevailing throughout the Turk ish empire in 1877, and the efforts were abandoned when Russia declar- ed war on Turkey, April 24, 1877. This war concluded disastrously for Turkey.
 In the spring of 1875 an insurrec- tlon broke out in Bosnia and Herze- govlna, then two of the northern prov inces of European Turkey, This was before these provinces were taken by Austria Hungary. The porte failed to put down the disturbance, and, its ef- forts to do so increasing It's financial embarrassment, 1t was forced, In the autumn of that year, to repudiate the claims of many of It's creditors. In lHt IllthllNIllt lilt toliilll- ued to spread, and 1t soon attracted the attention of the larger European powers. At the instance of Austria a note was drawn up and signed by all the powers declaring that "the prom ises of reform made by the porte had not been carried into effect and that some combined action of the powers .f ta hri ntf about the ful0llment of the many en- agreements which Turkey had made and broken"
 | This note failed to effect It's object, and the representatives of the powers met at Berlin and intimated that If | Turkey failed to fulfill her broken promises within two months. force would be used to "compel her to do SO"
 The insurrection still went on, how ever. and the porte. dreading the ex- tension of the revolt, permitted It's of ficers to anticipate disorder by mas- sacre. The Christian population of Bulgaria having taken up arms, the porte turned loose the irregular troops to suppress this movement, and as a result 25.000 Bulgarians are estimated to have been slain. These events pre- ceded the granting of the first consti- tuition. Up to the present day Turkey | has been "theocratic, absolute mon- archy in principle, subject to the direct personal control of the sultan, who has been at once temporal autocrat and recognized Khallf or successor Of the prophet, and, consequently. splr- ltual head of the Moslem world, This theocratlc absolutlsm has been tenn pered not only by traditional usage local privilege, the juridical and spir'
 itual precepts of the Koran and it' ulema interpreters and the privy coun-
 ell. but also by the growing force oi

CALlGULA'S VASE IN AMERICA.
Italian Government Has Written to
Owner to Return II.

Los Angeles, Cal--An old broken
Roman vase, supposed to be 1870
years old, which was casually picked
up in the ruins of the palace of the
Roman Emperor Caligula several
years ago by w. M, Milne, of Los An
geles, is now sought by the Italian
government, and is believed to be of
very great historic value.
The vase was found by Mrs. Milne
when she and her husband were max.
ing a tour of the world in 1903. When
they arrived in Rome they visited a
spot where excavations were under
way, bringing to light the ruins of the
palace of Emperor Caligula. While
the workmen were digging away, the
two tourists pottered about, and when
a number of old vases were I'M
earthed, and one was found with it's
top broken, it was secured easily for
few pieces of silver. The old hoary
thing was brought carefully by the
curio hunters to Los Angeles, and here
1t has remained unnoticed for four
years.
Recently Mr.. Milne received letter
from Giacomo Boni, director general
OF foreign excavations for the Italian

COMING WEST.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts and Connecticut are
generally thought of as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated, these states are slowly losing
prestige.
Wisconsin, for instance. has the
largest manufacturer OF fun vamp
shoes in the world-The f. Mayer
Boot 6 Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this companys product is
the great west from the Mississippi
TO the Pacific. Undoubtedly 1t is Mil
waukee's nearness to this great west
market which is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west In the last % years they
have outgrown six factories. mclud-
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day.
which already has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.
