MANY DISTINGUISHED MEN
ARRIVE IN DENVER
Town Is Packed With Politicians, Including Judge
Parker, Who Is the Center of Attraction

I DENVER, July 4.-The American
eagle and the Democratic roster have
view with each other today, in giving
Denver one OF the most lurid Fourths
OF July in its brief but strenuous ex-
istence. Throughout the day the
streets have been ablaze with color,
an incessante din OF cannon crackers
mingled with the enthusiasm Of ar
irving political delegations, and long
trains crept over from every direc-
tion adding throngs to the multitudes
already here Tonight the state capi-
tol and many other public buildings
loom out Of the darkness in living
fire with every outline marked by
myriad lights, the streets are thronged
and hotels are filled with politicians.
The days arrivals include Senator
Stone, Governor Glenn of North
Carolina; Judge Parker, Colonel Clay
ton Of Alabama; Chief Murphy Of
Tammany and Governor Haskell OF
Oklahoma. There is however a rath-
er noticeable absence OF the National
leaders and the conspicuous leaders OF
the former conventions-Til Tillman,
Bailey, Culberson, Champ Clark and
John Sharp Williams, One OF the
arrivals today was Charles w. Bryan
a brother OF the candidate This is
the first appearance OF brother Char
les in National affairs, although he
has been for II years the private sec
retary to his brother and at the head
Of the Commoner.
Naturally Judge Parker is the CEN
ter of attraction Comparatively un-
known, but his urbanity and friendly
welcome have created favorable inn
preston. Parker did not desire to
give out an interview, but in answer
to question, in formal way,
question whether he considered the
nomination still are open question,
whether he considered the nomination
still an open question, that Bryan APP
pears to have strong lead and one
that may be sufficient to give him the
nomination. Parker said that every
one in the convention are ready to ac-
cept the decision Of the convention,
whether another candidate or not and
they will give supported to the candi-
date whichever one is nominated
When asked if he meant by that
that he desired his staunch friends Of

WASHINGTON, D. c., July A.
The international Congress on Tu-
berculosis which is to be held in
Washington Sept 2l to Oct, II meets
every three years, and this Is the first
time il has come to this country, The
last meeting was held in Paris, France
in 1905, and three years before that
the gathering took place in London,
1t is not likely that the Congress will
convene in the United States for a
great many years, as the honor Of en-
tertaining is eargerly sought by the
countries abroad
Preparations for the gathering are
engaging the attention OF every en-
lightened nation. The white plague
is no respccter Of persons or OF races.
II Is not limited to any quarter Of the
globe, and the common ground on
which Europe, Asia Africa, and North
and South America are meeting, is
the belief that this disease may be
brought under as complete control as
small pox, plague, yellow fever, and
other infectious diseases have been by
wide-awake peoples. Committees Of
arrangements for the Congress have
been organized in every foreign coun-
try and in every State in our land
In every section, plans are being per-
fected for representation in the Con-
gress. A number Of the foreign gov
ernments have already announced to
the State Department at Washington,
the names Of their official delegates;
while others have acquainted the
Secretary General Of the Congress
with their plans for participation in

is to be done in Detroit. There is
great need for some place in which

means OF raising money to maintain

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Bat-
Ting Nelson today won the title of
lightweight championship pugilist Of
the world from the man who defeat
ed him at Goldheld two years ago.
He knocked out Joe Cans In the 18th
round after fight as desperate as
ANY ever seen here in years They
we're fighting from the beginning to
the end Of every round moving cease
lessly forward, and never moving
from their ground, Nelson with a
bulldog tenacity and wonderful stami-
ma, slowly bettered the colored cham
pion's submission.
The end was not sudden and a few
who watched the progress Of the fight
and saw Cans continually grow weak
er made up their mind long before
the end Three times Cans was sent
TO the floor in the final round. each
| time taking all the time allowed. A
blow from Nelson's left to the pit of
his stomach ended the fight. On the
last knockdown Cans tried in vain to
gain his feet but wa scounted out.
Then the crowd grew mad and
about a score of women cheered the
new champion and rushed enthusiast
cally into the ring, bowling over the
place and sweeping Nelson off his
feet. The Battler was hoisted on the
shoulders of his seconds and carried
to his dressing rooms; while beaten
Cans was escorted to his quarters
from the scene of his defeat.
THE best man won without a
doubt was Cans frank admission as
he left the ring. 1T is an old, old
story, one fight too many. After the
third round he began feeling tired.
Old age will tell. That's all | have
to say
For the first FIVE rounds, Cans land
ed at win on Nelson terribly punish
ing him. 1t did not look like Nelson
would have one chance in hundred
TO win, but he never hesitated to
come to close quarters and swing
his arms ceaselessly seeking an open
ing Finally, in the seventh round,
Cans began to weaken and from that
time the tide turned in Nelson's ia
vor In the seventh he caught Cans
off his guard and landed heavily on
his body. Thereafter it was Nelson's
fight. Cans used all his skill but fail
ed to stop the Dane In the 18th
round Cans went to the food three
times for the count of nine, Nelson
punished him severely about the body
and face, but the body blows brought
the champion to grief. In the l4th
round Cans showed flash Of his for
mer class, Although apparently hope
lessly beaten, he rocked the Dane
time and again with his famous
strong arm wallops, but they had not
the slightest effect, and when Cans
went to his corner, he seemed to real
ize he was the beaten man and so
his seconds,
After the fight Nelson said he knew
from the first that he could lick Cans.
He says it took all he could get and
he cleaned UP big sum He says he
doesn't care ik he ever enters the ring
again,s Says his share is all the
money he wants and may not ever
fight again,
The referee said Nelson won the
fight, but he did not think Cans was
the Cans Of old, He seemed to have
lost some Of his cleverness and Welch
thinks his blows did not have the
vim 1T was case of youth having
had its fling"

them some Sealshipt oysters.
Well, if you could have seen those
men passing up their plates for morel
And if you could have heard them

ness of those creamed oysters! They
all declared I must have had some

how got them SO perfectly fresh.
You know what crank about pure

ters. Well, when l told him about
the white enameled carrier that Seal
shipt oysters come in, and explained
that no ice had ever touched them,
because they are sealed, and the Ice Is

And, my dear, he was helped three
