ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.
AttelI and WOlgast Ready for the
Battle of Their Lives.

Los Angeles. Dec. 11.-Abe Attell
and Ad Wolgast finished the work of
training yesterday and are in perfect
form for their championship battle
tonight at Jeffries' arena. Attell is
as confident of winning as he ever was
in all his life and departs from his
usual custom of not advising his
friends regarding the betting when he
is asked as to his chances by telling
them to plunge on him for a good
thing winner. Abe says he is ready
for the battle of his life, if it should
be found necessary for him to so ex-
tend himself, and he predicts that he
will knock out the Milwaukee boy.
Wolgast never trained for any battle
with the consistency and faithful re-
gard for every detail that has charac-
terized his work in the short training
period that he has had for preparing
for this one.
Both men will easily make the
weight required at o'clock this after
noon.

PRESIDENT SCHOOL BOARD
BECOMES HUMBLE JANITOR

Chicago, H., July 13.-(Special) -
Empty honors did not weigh much
with Edward Jewell, President of
the Gary School board, who stepped
down to the position of Janitor for
the pay it brought.
Mr.. Jewell as president of the
Gary school board was a civic person
ality. He represented the dignity
of office and might issue orders to
his subordinates, including Superin-
tendent Samuel Writ, with some show
of authority In a word, he might
permit himself an air, as he presided
at the monthly meetings of the
board sitting with his two elbows
planted firmly upon the polished top
of the mahogany table. Until yes
terday, moreover, when he wrote to
a friend it was on municipal station
cry, headed with his own name "in
caps"
The other day there was a vacancy
reported in the school force. The
Gary High School needed janitor,
a good handy, humble man, who could
live in comfort on $50 month and
keep the school furnace in condition.
Now in his capacity as head of the
board Mr.. Jewell might have hired
janitOr whom he could have bossed
about, as president of the board. This
is what Mr. Jewell did. He took
sheet of his own municipal station

HOW BOOM FOR KERN
WAS STARTED BY BRYAN

Denver, Colo, July 13.-(SpeciaD
A member OF the Indiana delegation
told how the Kern boom for the
Vice Presidency started
At dinner of the indianapolis De-
mocratic Club, which Mr.. Bryan was
the guest of honor, the POSTMASTER
announced that the Indiana delega-
ton would go to Denver in a spe-
cial train and that they would go via
Lincoln and stop off to see Mr.. Bryan
at Fairyiew
"As an inducement for you to re-
ceive US, Mr.. Bryan" he said, Eve
will have on board that train the
next Vice-President of the United
States, John w Kern"
Mr.. Kern was called on for a
speech. He said he was too poor a
man to aspire to such costly honor
as the e-Presidency.
When Bryan's turn came he paid a
high tribute to the gentleman from
Indiana and wound up by saying:
IF the Democratic Party of Indiana
thinks we'll enough of Mr. Kern to
place his name before the Democratic
National Convention, if he should be
nominated and the Democrats of the
United States should think well
enough to him to elect him, and he
should be too poor to maintain a sepa-
rate establishment, I'll give him and
his family one end of the White House
to themselves"
The Hoosier delegates here, after
their man was nominated, declared
they felt certain that Mr.. Bryan
would make good if it came to a
showdown

New York, July -(SpeciaD-
Capt. Nicholas Columbus known to
Battery folk as Mick the Bootblack, .
tried again Sunday navigating the
water tricycle. that has been lying in
the Battery boat basin for several
weeks. The captain had taken a
successful spin on it two Sundays
ago and he thought he would make
an effort to circumnavigate Man
haitian Island today like a seeing New
York craft. He was going along
bravely, making fine weather of it.
when off the foot of Jay street the
conflicting wash of two big ferry
boats started the tricycle. bucking
like an untamed broncho. Capt. Col
umbus held his seat for a few sec
onds. Then an unusually vicious
comber hit the steel steed under
the stern canoes and the rider pitch

The New York sightseeing yacht
Halcyon sent a life buoy flying after
Capt. Columbus, and also lowered a
boat. The captain caught the buoy and
crew of volunteer life-savers put
out from pier The life savers got
Capt. Columbus first and took him
aboard. The Halcyon took the tricy-
Gle in tow and took Capt Columbus
from the life-savers, leaving both
at the Battery. Capt Columbus nav
igated the boat back to it's berth.

GREAT ARMY OFFICE
HOLDERS IN BLUE BOOK

Washington, d. c., July 13.-(Spe-
ciaD-In the official Directory of the
United States" there appears the
names of 306,141 officeholders under
the Federal government.
The astonishing number of 2S,447
office-holders is to be found in the
city of Washington alone. They
get away with pie to the tune of $751;
541,225 each year Missouri does
fairly well at the pie counter in the
national capital, the blue book on
Senator Werners counter showing
there to be no fewer than 466 Mis-

Kansas shows up handsomely. 1t
has 300 pie biters in Washington
drawing $428,785 as regular as the
year rolls round. Oklahoma is ex-
pected to do better. There are only
"a Oklahomans, drawing $168,3S2 a
year. 1t will do better next year.
When it comes to pie biting New
York is the gourmand Its army of
2,233 Federal oficeholders are getting
$3,O1l,512 year. Little Maryland
has 2,191 appointments, costing So
099,425 a year, and Pennsylvania has
1928 at the pie counter in Washing
ton, costing the country $2,31O,254 a
year. Mr.. Taft's State, Ohio, is the

with LOTT office holders charged UP

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ase and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
tratment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by f. ]. Cheney & Co., Tole-

cure on the market. 1t is taken in

JAPAN OWES DEBT TO
AMERICA, SAYS NATIVE

Washington, d. c., July 13.-Kame-
taro Hayashida declared today that
Japan not only shuddered at the idea
of war with the United States, but
could not dream of anything arising
that would make it possible because
of the debt Nippon owed this Govern
ment for bringing into the Council
of Nations Mr. Hayashide is the
Mikado's personal representative in
the Japanese Parliament, it's chief
Secretary, and the author of many
of the Nations parliamentary and
election reforms.
Talk of war is not the talk of the
people of Japan" he said earnestly.
Some few, unfortunately, fail to
appreciate the great responsibility of
the two countries. Japan has owned
a debt of gratitude to America since
your offer of friendship and good
will when Commodore Perry visited
us. All Japan is waiting to greet your
great fleet When your warships were
invited to our shores the invitation
was extended because we wished to
show your officers and men our hos
pitality and demonstrate that we
really do feel our Indebtedness to your
great Nation
Mr.. Hayshida, accompanied by a
suite of expert architects and atten-
dants, is here getting ideas for a
building suitable for the capitol of
Japan. The Japanese Diet has appro-
priated $12,000,000 for the cOnstruc-
ton of the building Mr. Hayashida
has made a close study of many
of the public structures here.
