TO TEACH TRADES
TO OFFENDERS

SACRAMENTO, November 19.-Be-
lieving that many men fall into Grim
inal ways because they have learned
no trade and have therefore no special
means of earning a living, the State
Board of Prison Directors, in its bien-
NAL report to Governor Gillett, rec
ommends the establishment of an in
stitution midway between the Reform
School and the Penitentiary to which
shall be committed boys and young
men convicted for the first time OF
violation of the law. At such a place
the unfortunates could, while under
rigid discipline, be taught trade and
finally released, we'll equipped to be-
gin life anew.
The Board commends the new COM
mutation and pardon rule put into eff
feet by Governor Gillett, which pro-
vides that no convict except in GER
tain rare cases, shall be given a par
don or Communication until he has been
on parole at least one year and shown
on probation that he was capable OF
being a good citizen.
The report shows that the cost OF
maintaining separate prisons during
the year ending June 80, 1907, amount
ed to $753,O5414. For the year end
ing June 80, 1908, the disbursements
were $7SO,622.53.

ports there were 1549 prisoners at Sar

AMERICAN CAME
OUT OF DATE
SAYS LORD

SAN FRANCISCO November 21.-
Lord Northcliffe, the English news
paper and magazine owner who is
visiting the United States, after view
ing one of the big football matches
between the Eastern universities, gave
out the following interview, which
certainly gives the American game an
awful slam. He states that while our
collegians play the game brilliantly
that it is not up-to-date and that we
are far behind the times. Here is
what he has to say about it:
Il mad never seen anything anti.
quated in the United States until l
saw this football match today" said
Lord Northcliffe. ITO my surprise 1
found that the teams were playing
Rugby school football with it's tire
some scrimmages, which outwearied
the British public many years ago.
The men played brilliantly. In fact
I don't remember having seen Rugby
football played better But it was the
oldstyle game with all its tiresome de-
lays.
Rugby football is played now, be-
lieve, outside of the United States,
only in some remote regions of South
Wales and in New Zealand. In this
style of football it is weight and not

STORY OF BILLY
PAPKE'S DEFEAT

all the force and vim in the 1.-THE body |
of Ketche1 back of it.
BY a wonderful effort Papke man
aged to regain his feet after this wal
lop, but he was clearly at sea, and
though he managed to rush into
clinch with Ketchel and momentarily
stave off defeat, it was easy ITO see
that he was beaten man. His eyes
were CLASSY and rolled in their Soc
kets.
When Ketchel saw his advantage he
pressed it. He was upon Papke like
a wolf and fanged him with right and
left cuffs about the head and body I'M
til he finally opened him up. When
Ketchel got Papke in position where
his Jaw was a target for his fist, he
swirled his body back a bit, steadied
himself and shot in that deadly left
of his, the premier punch of the mod
ern ring. The blow landed right on
the point of Papke's chin. He stag
gered and went to the floor dazed
badly. Though in dire distress Papke
showed a wonderful presence of mind
and made a game and valiant attempt
to arise as the fatal seconds were be-
ing tolled off.
Papke was up on his feet after rest
ing II seconds on the mat and he
seemed a much chagrined fighter when
Referee Jack Welsh informed him that
victory had gone against him. Billy
declared that he was confused in the
count and said he was watching Jack
Welsh count instead of the time keep
err.
Two minutes and thirty nine Sec
onds of the round had been spent
when Papke took the punch that put
him out of the running, but even had
he gotten up before the referee had
counted his chances away he would
hardly have been able to weather Out
the round. He was badly dazed after
he arose, and stood open and helpless
as a child.
Ketchel showed himself far supe'
rior puncher to Papke, and though
the Illinois man seemed a bit the clev'
erer boxer he did not appear to have
the proper force back of his blows tt
stop the onrush of Ketchel at any
stage of the game. The Michigan
Lion had every round but the second
In this period it looked as though
Papke had a chance to win in hurry
Billy also held Ketchel even in tn
third round, but every other rount
was Ketchels, and by no small or hal
splitting margin.

STOCKTON, November 19.-Realiz-
ing that there is great prejudice
against their nationality, and believ-
ing that they would have a better
chance of securing employment,
large number of Hindoos who have
been picking grapes in the northern
part of San Joaquin county have dis
carded their turbans and are appear
ing in all kinds of headgear. Many
adopted the sombrero used by poems.
There are two factions of the Hin
docs, and those who retain the turban
declare that Mahomet will be greatly
displeased at those who have adopted
the modern hat, or what they term the
common headdress of the street.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 81
The defeat of Billy Papke in II rounds
at Coffroth's Mission street arena by
Stanley Ketchel yesterday proved the
biggest upset in modern ring history,
and one of the greatest reversals Of
form ever known in sport. On race
track such a result would call for an
official accounting.
Back on Labor day in Los Angeles
Papke defeated Ketchel decisively. He
knocked him down five times in the
very opening round and sent him to
the canvas three times again before he
finally polished him off. To knock
Ketchel down is no child's play and
always required a punch. Yesterday
Papke did not show a punch that was
really a convincer during the whole
time. Ketchel was as open as barn
door, yet Papke, who is supposed to
be a neat short armed puncher, new
err sent one clean to the point OF
Ketchel's chin in the entire fight. Not
since the days of Tom Allen did any
man ever win back a championship
as did Ketchel yesterday.
There is one thing certain, and that
is that the sure thing contingent was
down heavily on Ketchel. All the
boys who usually favor the ace in the
hole strung their money with Ket-
chel.
The training of neither man in this
fight was quite as serious as the pub
lie like to see, and while both men
apparently fought hard, Papke surely
made an Indifferent showing for a
man who came here so strongly touted
as a great hitter and true one. The
wise money seemed to see Ketchel,
and there was an evident desire in
certain quarters to hold up his price,
as the natural odds of 10 to was no
lodged until the men were practically
ready to go in the ring and even uT
to this time Jim May, a Reno sport
ing man, held a wad of bills that
went begging, though he beloved out
that he was willing to stand to his
guns to the last dollar at 10 to and
take Ketchel at that price.
After the men had been milling vi
ciously in this round with Ketchel
having a slight advantage, Ketche
shot over a right hand punch that
found resting place flush on the jaw
! of Papke. The Illinois man went tC
the mat, his head striking the canvas
: with a crack that could be heard tn,
length and breadth of the entire arena
| The punch was a cruel one. 1t haC

WEIGH Gets It

LOS ANGELES, November 25.-Abe
Attell the fast and indicated feather
weight champion of the world, met
more than his match tonight in Fred
die Welsh, the English lightweight
champion and one of the greatest lit
tie fighters that ever appeared in a
ring in this city.
Welsh showed himself to be a won
derfully clever man. His boxing was
superb, his footwork marvellous, his
generadship unequaled and his defens-
i've tactics absolutely perfect.
Attell had never a chance from the
beginning of the fight to the finish.
The doughty little Hebrew champion,
who has been the victor of so many
valiant battles, seemed overwhelmed
by his antagonist from the start. He
lacked confidence, his blows lacked
vigor and his generalship was not
what had been known of him hereto
fore.
So outclassed was Attell by the
English champion that he appeared to
be able to show but little of his old
time fight While he fought bravely
on the defensive and frequently raI-
lied against the heavy odds of his OPP
ponent, he was not able to make a
sufficient showing at any time to place
the result OF the fight in doubt.

PUGET SOUND STEAMSHIP MAN
ACCUSED OF ILLEGAL AC-
TONS.

SEATTLE (Wash.), November 49,
With the arrest of Captain T. r. Cav
ley, former master of the Sound steam
ships Edna and Advance, and X. Ka-
tayama, charged with the importation
of Japanese women into the United
States, a general shake-up of the local
as well as the British Columbia immi-
grafton offices is expected. For two
years conditions have been such that
to smuggle Japanese women into the
country has been an easy matter. Chi
cago, New York and other cities of the
Middle States have been supplied at
various times with Japanese women,
for whom the price of $500 head was
paid.
A few months ago the department at
Washington sent a woman decoy to
Seattle, who upon her arrival here be-
gan her negotiations with the dealers
in women. She learned that Captain
Gawley could furnish her with wo-
men, and completed negotiations for
as many Japanese women as he could
| get at $500 head. A retainer of 5000
was given him, and few days ago
upon request or demand, he was given
S25 more. A few days ago he furnish.
ed the decoy with five women. He be-
came suspicious and was preparing tc
leave town last night when Secret
Service Agent G. A. Miller pointed

saw the battle states that Robinson
merely went into the ring to stick four
rounds, and that he wore knee-pads
in order to protect his knees when he
hit the mat. He also says that Rob-
inson was such a bum that in a bar
room fight over the decision of Ref
cree Tommy Chandler, whose verdict
in favor of Sullivan, instead of de-
claring it no contest, raised quite a
stir at the time, he was thrown to the
floor and then was spat upon by his
assailant. The hackers of Sullivan
were cleaned out of a big bunch of
coin, as Robinson's friends wagered
that he would stick the four rounds,
and that's why not blow was struck
and the spectators were treated to a
shadow exhibition.
