Up in Lovely slylee---Kelly
Backers Protest Decision

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 15.-Hug0
Kelly of Chicago, and Billy Papke,
former middle weight champion.
fought 25 fast rounds at the Jefries-
Vernon arena tonight At the close
of the final round with both men fight
ing strong, Referee James J. Jeffries
called it a draw.
Kelly left the ring without mark,
while Papke was a sight, with both
eyes closed and cheek bones pound
ed to a pulp. --..
The draw decision was loudly pro-
tested by Kelly's hackers and ma
jority of the $500 spectators.
The fight was fast from start to
finish. The men were tired in the
last ten rounds and Referee Jeffries
was forced almost to fight both Of
them to break in clinches. .
Kelly almost won the fight in the
first minute, when he beat Papke to
the ropes and had the Illinois thun-
derbolt groggy. At various stages
throughout the fight either one man
or the other seemed to be winning
by knock out, but each boxer recov-
cred and fought stubbornly. Kelly
did the cleaner hitting, although
Papke was, the aggressor in every
round. T.:
In the last rounds Papke SEEM
ed entirely blind with both eyes ap-
parently completely closed.
The men weighed in at 1853
pounds at o'clock and both seemed
in perfect condition.

ON REDUCTION.
Former President Of Cafne-

From Andy as to Tariff
Reduction on His Wares

Washington, D. G., Dec. 15.-Dis-.
agreeing with the published views Of
Andrew Carnegie with regard to the.
steel schedule of the tariff, Charles.
sE. Schwab, former president of the
United States Steel Corporation, gave
valuable testimony before the house:
ways and means committee at the
tariff hearing today. 81
While he practically admitted that
the laonditisns which existed nine
years ago would have permitted re-
duction of the steel schedule at that
time, ne said that the cost of every
item entering into the manufacture OF
steel ails had increased to such an
extent that present conditions must
be changed to permit of tariff reduc-
tion S
In five years there will not be a
Bessemer steel converting works left
in the United States Mr.. Sohwab
predicted. "Bessemer steel will be
of no use. The same is true Of struc-
|tural steel as well as rails. They
will be made by the open hearth pro-
cess Of manufacture. Costly changes
in the construction Of the plants will
be necessary to make the improve
ments in the method of manufacture .
Mr.. Schwab also declared that with
in ten years the open hearth pro
cess would be superseded by the
electrfc system of manufacture which
was being developed in Germany. a..
These changes in the process OF
manufacture increase the quality OF
steel he continued, "but they also
have slightly increased the cost OF
prods Is. /;
sAfr. Schwab said he was not ii
favor of a change in the tariff on
steel and steel products. A moder
ate change would not make material
difference" he said, 'Fbut radical
change might do considerable harm
He admitted that the tariff could be
taken off iron ore without affecting
| the value of the Mesaba ore of this
country. Mr. Schwab stated that the
Bethlehem Steel company, of which
4 he is president, imports all of its iror
1 ore from Cuba. ..s

TOBACCO TRUST
Must DISSOLV VE
Nine Companies Affected BY
the Decree But They Will
Continue as an "UnhOly
Trust Until Supreme
Court Passes on Case

New York. N. X, Dec. Nine
companies with their subsidiaries,
are named as constituting an Illegal
combination in the final decree, filed.
today in the United States circuit
court, putting into effect the iudg-
ment in its suit to dissolve the So
called tobacco trust.
The companies named are: Ameri-
can Tobacco company, The American
Snuff company, the American Cigar
company, the American Stogie com
pany, McAndrews and Forbes COM
pany p. Lorillard and company, J. R.
Reynolds Tobacco company Black
wells Durham Tobacco company and
the Conley Foil company. Each Of
the first i've Of these companies, the
court declares, is in itself a combina-
ton in violation of the law. s
The order enjoins these companies
from continuing as parties in the com
ibination and restrains them from en-
gaging in interstate or foreign trade
until reasonable competition. be
tween them is restored. Nor may the
companies named, or their subsidar.
les, acquire by conveyance or other
wise own the plant or business OF
any other defendant corporation
wherein any one Of them now holds
stock, or any control whatever over
its corporate acts.
Both the government and the de.
fendant companies will at once take
appeals from the decree. Such action
on the companies part will make ef-
fective one highly important clause
that which provides for a suspension
of the injunction during the pend
ency Of SUCH appeal. AS the matter
stands, therefore the companies may
continue business as heretofore and
until the affirmation Of the judg-
ment is obtained In the supreme
court. Twenty days is allowed for an
appeal to be filed.
The government will appeal on
what it considers errors and omis
sions in the decree and the defend
ants will appeal from the general
decision Of the court.

In Memory Of r. A.. Williams

We are sorry to chronicle the
death of Brother r. A. Williams.
who departed this life October q,
1908. Brother Williams was born
in Missouri 5S years ago, and was
of prominent and well known
family. He moved to this country
when 81 years of age and married
the widow of 5. A. Black well and to
them were born six boys and one
girl, all still living. The daughter
married David Spikes, whose death
came near the same time. May God
bless her aud her two babes in her
sadness. Brother Williams died at
the home Of his oldest son at Don
iphan, Mo. He had been in poor
health for over year. He and his
wife were great entertainers, always
glad to have company, and great
hands to go to church. Although
he never took any part in church
worship, in his last hours he was
heard calling on the Lord to have
mercy. My prayer is that God will
soften the hearts of his children and
help them to prepare to meet in a
better world. Brother Williams
was brought back and buried in the
old Rice cemetery on the J. j. Up
shaw farm, and was laid to rest
beside his wife, who preceded him
some l8 months ago. We extend
our sympathy to the bereaved ones.

with birthday and wedding ami

commemoration of their third wed.

AT quarter past seven the guests
filed into the dining room where a
sumptuous repast awaited them, to
find the table groaning under the
weight Of a mighty feast, prepared
by the most skilled hands and fit
only for a king. 1t is needless TO
say, however, that the guests did
justice to the occasion and was only
after much coaxing that Mr.. John
son and Mr.. Virtue could be induced
to "desist." To mention nothing
else, the turkey was the biggest, the
fattest and juiciest that has ever Jet
been carved, and the way the boy S
did devour it is too ridiculous to
tell.

Halloween is Coming

Halloween is coming, October 81
is the date. Halloween is the name
poplarly given to the eve of vigil
of All Hallows, or the festival of
All Saints, which falls on the first
Of November. Halloween dates back
to pagan times, and had its origin
when superstition was rife and
people were fond of the supernatural.
In Shakespeare's time Halloween
was celebrated in England and parts
of Scotland with games and amuse.
ments, such as nut cracking and
diving in tubs of water for apples.
On this night it was generally
believed that if coy maiden dared
risk cold and other midnight
danger, she might gazs into a well
and obtain a glimpse of her future
partner for life. As that was
subject that interested coy maidens
then as now, it is doubtful if few
permitted the opportunity to go by.
