Olson With Dangerous Toe
Hold Triumphs Over For
eign Wrestler.
BIG CROWD SEES GO.
CONTEST WAS HARD FOUGHT
FROM START TO FiNIsH-TURk
GETS ONE FALL, FIGHTING
LIKE TIGER.

Charley Olson last evening in
clean cut, decisive manner again
demonstrated his superiority over Bob
Manogoff, the Turk, by taking two out
of three falls after one hour and five
minutes of desperate fighting-the
most spectacular and scientific ever
witnessed in this city. At least 1900
people attended the match, the largest
crowd that has ever seen a local bout
and when in the third Big Bob told
Referee Jack Rice of Indianapolis that
he would "give up" because of the I'M
breakable toe-hold Olson had on him,
the crowd went crazy and would have
swarmed into the ring to greet the
victor but for the presence OF six or
seven police officers, who surrounded
the ring and held the excited fans at
bay.
The match was rough from start TO
finish but both men showed more
science than they had heretofore and
the Turk gamely made the fight of his
life He showed great improvement in
speed and by his fast work repeatedly
broke holds that looked certain to be
his undoing Bob fought on the Of
fensive as much as he did on the de-
fensive and it's safe bet that Olson
never had harder battle in his
career.
The first bout went forty and one
ell
ing. Twice Olson nearly downed his
big opponent with the toe hold and
the full nelson, but each time Bob
broke clean and turned on the Indiana
polls lad like tiger and Olson only
saved himself by the cleverest kind Of
work. Once Olson lifted the Turk
high in the air. head downward. and
bumped his head on the mat twice,
I like using a crowhar. Another time
Olson lifted the Turk high above him,
then hurled him violently to the mat
Despite this rough treatment Mano-
goff was not shaken up much and
came back gamely to the fight. Olson
finally downed him with toe-hold
and half nelson.
The second bout was the Turks
from start to close. He gamely out
fought and out generated the light
heavyweight champion and completely
wore him out. Bob finally put Olson
en- his back by using his favorite hold,
a leg clasp about the head and an I'm.
breakable grip on his opponents legs.
This bout lasted seventeen minutes.
In the third bout the wiry. cat-like
moving Olson went after the big Turk
with fury not to be denied. He hurl-
ed him about like bean bag, rough
ing it constantly. Finally Olson wrig-
gled out Of good hold Manogoff had
on him and with the rapidity of a
lightning flash. turned the Turk on his
stomach then grabbed his foot and
locked it into such hold that it was
up to Big Bob to throw up the sponge
or be turned over on his back at the
risk Of fractured leg Il give up
gasped the Turk to Referee Rice, who
patted Olson on the shoulders-the
sign of victory.

New Company Formed.
Mr.. Rockefeller said the refinery of
this company was in Cleveland and
that afterward another refinery under
the name of William Rockefeller &
Co., was organized in New York. The
same firm members that composed the
Cleveland company made up the New
York company.
Asked what had been the course of
the oil business up to the time of the
organization Of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio, Mr.. Rockefeller replied
I'VE had had steady growth and in
crease from the organization of the
first firm in 1860 or 1862 until that
time"
Mr.. Rockefeller said that every
member of the firm devoted his entire
time and attention to promoting the
company's groth and that none of
them had any other business. He said
the company did a refining and ware
house business and that his brother,
William Rockefeller, took up his resi-
dence in New York to develop the bus
mess here and to save expenses.

When did the next change take

In 1867 all the properties of Rookie
Teller & Andrews, William Rockefeller
& Co., and Rockefeller & Co. were tai
en- over under the firm name of Rookie
Teller, Andrews & Flagier. Mr.. Fla

the firm. A large amount of capital
was put into the firm
Mr.. Rockefeller said that this com.
pany engaged in the refining of oil
which was sold in this country and
abroad
What was the next changer"
Il think that three years later, in
1870, the Standard Oil company OF
Ohio was organized with a capital OF
$1,o0o.OoO and we enlisted much cap

headquarters were established them

GREAT FORTUNES

Gould Schuman, president of Cor.
nell university, Ithaca, n. Y, took
AS his subject The Problem of
Great Fortunes" He said:
The great majority of problems
which today interest American
voters are economic problems. 1t
is economic problems which are
transforming, recasting, and re-
creating our political parties.
81 recognize the lesson of his
tory that inequalities of fortunes,
when they have become very con-
spicuous and firmly established
under the aegis of existing institu-
tions, lead to revolutions A reas-
enable equality of economic condi-
ton seems to be the lesson taught
by the experience OF the ancient
Greek republics rs their history
has been interpreted for MS by the
penetrating analysis and profound
reflections of Aristotle.
Colossal fortunes are on trial in
this country. Whether and how
far il is worth while to encourage
and protect them. is question
for the future. The voters of the
country who will answer il will
have their sentiments and opinions
Influenced by the use to which
these owners put their fortunes in
their lifetime and the manner in
which they dispose Of them at
their death"
