:: TEACHERS MISTAKE
Said to Have Resulted In Boy Be
COMING a Matricide.

Toledo, O., Dec. 25. - A teachers
mistake years ago is said to have re-
suited in Don Harvey Hazel becoming
the murderer of his mother. Hazel
has been found guilty Of killing his
parent, and was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in the Ohio penitentiary
When the boy was going to school in
the earlier part of his life-he is now
17-his tutor unintentionally called
him Hazel when she wanted him to
recite or to do something for her.
This continued for some time, the
teacher not knowing that Hazel was
the pupils last name The boy re-
sented the appellation as there were
girls In his class named Hazel. When
the teacher learned her error, she
apologized, but he did not let the
matter rest. He played truant for
two weeks and concealed the fact
from his parents. The parents were
notified. Fearing he would be severe
ly punished, the lad ran away, be-
came a tramp, and evil association
ruined him. On Jan. IL, 1908, he
went to his parents home in Toledo
and slew his mother by hitting her
over the head with a hammer. Ac-
cording to the jury's verdict, Hazel
has hope Of a pardon, or a parole.

son. Then he stipulated how the
money should be split up, the size OF
the ring and all the conditions sur
rounding the fight Johnson immedi-
ately accepted and sailed from Lon
don for Australia to begin training.
Johnson, during his ring career, has
fought "a battles, and % of his oppo-
nents have gone down to defeat by
the knockout route. Prominent Of
those who have been put to sleep by
the big black are Jack Jeffries,
brother of the former heavyweight
champion, who was knocked out by
Johnson at Los Angeles in 1902 in
five rounds, and Bob Fitzsimmons,
who in Philadelphia in 1907 was un-
able to withstand Johnson's shifty
work but two rounds. He has lost
but two fights, one 20-round de-
cision to Marvin Hart and the other
on a foul to Joe Jeanette
Not since the days of James J. Cor
bett has the prize ring seen so per-
feet a boxer as Johnson. Long and
1.-the. he is as graceful as a dancing
master and as true as an arrow in
placing his blows. Especially deft is
he with his left hand, and few box
ers, unless they have great skill, are
able to keep the big black man from
beating their faces to tatters. In
courage, Burns was bulldog always.
Johnson, it was said by some, had a
yellow streak" In none of his many
battles, however, has it been proven
that Johnson would not take a good
beating. Neither Burns nor Johnson,
however, have been considered men
of the stamp of Jeffries, Sullivan o.
Corbett in the fighting game.

H. M. Cox, wealthy and retired manu-
facturer If Portland, Me-, had fallen
head first from a third-story window
of local hotel to his death. instead
Of having jumped from the window
with suicidal intent, as at first re-

ner's jury which investigated the
mans death.
After accompanying Mrs. Cox to
the dining room of the hotel, Cox re-
turned to his apartments on the third
floor to complete his toilet. A few
moments later he was picked up, his
skull fractured and in a dying condi-
ton, on the sidewalk At first it was
believed that he had jumped from the
window, but later investigation dis
proved this theory. Cox, who was a
sufferer from neurasthenia, came to
this city month ago with his wife

people From Frauds.
Louisville, KY, Dec. 26.-Police
and press of Louisville are engaged
at present in a campaign against
those firms which make their living
by percentages on loans. The vigor-
Gus attacks against these companies
began when an alleged defrauding of
a working girl in this city was re-
ported to one of the papers. Since
that time one Of the morning papers
has not missed an issue without a
first page story dealing with alleged
nefarious practices on the part of the
loan companies.
Several Of the larger business
houses in the city have subscribed to
the campaign, listing incidents in
which they were besougn. by the
loan companies to assign salaries OF
their employees. An ordinance was
proposed recently to the Louisville
city council making a prohibitive IL
cense against the loan companies, but
1t was defeated on the very ground
of being prohibitory.

REVISION plan.
HAS PROBLEMS
Revenue Feature Involves
Difficult Question.
TRAINERS HARD AT WORK

Government Lost Millions Of Dollars
During Operation of the DingIey
Law Because of Changes Made by
Senate = Protection to Competing
Industries Will Be Keynote Of
Measure Presented at Extra SEES
sion Of Congress.
Washington, Dec 26.-The tariff
trainers continue the work of prepar-
ing a tariff bill to be presented to
congress at the special session to be
called in March. While protection to
industries which must compete with
labor abroad will be the keynote of
the revised tariff, much consideration
will be given to the questions Of rails
ing sufficient revenue for the govern
ment.
The revenue feature involves more
difficult problems than either the
protective or other phases of the
tariff revision question. 1t is claim
ed by some that the government has
been deprived of millions of dollars
of revenue during the operation of
the Dingley tariff because of the
numerous changes made in the bill
after it passed the house Of repre-
sentatives. These changes were made
principally in the wording of the bill,
rather than in the rates of duty. 1t
is freely said that numerous large
interests that will be affected by the
new tariff law, as it will be reported
to the house, will make a strong fight
when the bill reaches the senate In
this case it is understood that Pres.
ident-elect Taft will veto the bill il
the senate makes too many changes
tending to increase the rates of duty
One case in point where the senate
amended the Dingley bill as reported
from the house in 1897 was brought
the hearings several weeks ago. Sen.
ator Hale Of Maine appeared to ask
that tapioca starch, now on the free
list, should pay a rate Of IL cents
pound. Chairman Payne called Mr.
Hale's attention to the fact that tapi
oca was made dutiable' at that rate
In the Dingley bill as it left the
house, and that the senate struck out
the paragraph and left tapioca as il
appears in the law now, on the free
list. 1t is very probable that the
paragraph assessing a duty of IL
cents a pound on starch will be sc
changed as to include tapioca wher
used for starching, sizing or filling.

Chemical sceduIe of Tariff.

Washington, Dec. rs. - The chemi-
cal schedule of the tariff on which
the subcommittee Of the ways and
means committee is now considering
changes, is not likely to be radically
affected by the revision Of the pres
ent tariff law. The requests for
changes in the present rates Of duty
are principally for certain special ar
ticles and not for the schedule as a
whole, those seeking increases being
about az numerous as those who have
argued for decreases.

Mile Relay Race.
Fall River, Mass, Dec. 26.-In a 12-
mile exhibition relay race at the Ath-
letic grounds in this city Dorando
Pietri, the Italian Marathon runner,
defeated Floyd Doughty of Provi-

bridge by half lap. Dorando's, time
was 1:03:39; that of the Doughty
Myers team was 1:04:18. A large
crowd watched the contest Doughty
ran against the Italian in the first six
miles and finished the first lap a few
yards in the lead. Dorando took the
lead in the second lap and was never
again headed At the end of the
sixth mile the Italians lead was
three-quarters of lap. Myers then
came on the track and by fast work
cut down Dorando's lead to a quarter
of lap. Dorando by the end of the
eleventh mile, however, was half a
lap ahead, and maintained this lead
to the finish.
