City's Big Heart

San Francisco surrendered to charity
yesterday. Very few citizens failed to
invest at least 10 cents in the tags that
were being sold by the school chill
dren and others for the benefit OF the
Youths Directory.
1t was estimated last night that the
valient army working in the cause of a
deserving charity had collected approx
imately $4,000. Nearly third of this
amount was turned in yesterday, but
many of the schools that assisted in
the work will not report until tomor-

From shortly after daylight until
late last evening the children were
busily engaged in levying on willing
public. The dimes rolled in rapidly
and by noon nearly every one on the

TOPEKA, Kas., Sept. 1S.-A habeas
corpus suit was filed in the federal
court here today on behalf of three
Ute Indian girls, who are at Haskell

The girls are Rachael, Blanche and
Umeda Burson. They ran away from
school a month ago and attempted to
reach Kansas City, and 1t was then
widely published that they were lured
away from the school by traffickers in
white slaves.
1t has since been ascertained that
their only desire was to go home.

The Youths directory is entitled to the high
est commendation and praise for the noble work
IT is doing for the homeless boys of this coun-

made by the friends of the directory will meet
with success.
] am sure that If the good people of California

see them, it would be great pleasure TO them.
as II is TO me. to pass the institute farm in
this beautiful valley of Napa and the large
fields OF corn nice blocks of vineyard, fine ricks

of all this is principally done by the boys taken

JOHNSON'S
MESSAGE OF GREETING
DEEPLY AFFECTS TAFT

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1S.-President
Taft came to the Twin Cities today and
with the shadow of death hanging over
the governor of the state received a
cordial but not a demonstrative well
come. The critical illness of Gov
ernor Johnson. probably the most pop
ular executive Minnesota ever has
known, entered deeply into the spirit
of the day and dreaded eventualities
threatened for time during the morn
ing seriously to curtail the program of
entertainment both here and in st.
Paul.
TAFT DEEPLY AFFECTED
President Taft was deeply affected
soon after his arrival to receive a mes
sage of personal greeting from Gov
ernor Johnson. The Compliment was
so unexpected under the circumstances
and, coming by dictation from the lips
OF a man who was reported at the
time as having but the frailest chance
for life, it called out an immediate re-
sponse from Taft, filled with express
sions of sympathetic concern and fer
vent hope for a speedy recovery.
At his Auditorium speech in st. Paul
the president called out prolonged ap-
plause and cheering when he declared
of Governor Johnson:
II unite with you in fervent prayer
TO God that he may be spared to you
anu ~ LDt COuulIl. WITH his ability.
his courage, his great common sense.
he can not be spared He is too val
uable, not alone to the people of this
state, but TO the people of the nation.
who doubtless will insist some time
that he shall serve Them
GOVERNOR JoHNsoN's GREETING
Governor Johnson's greeting to Pres
icent Taft was as follows:
Hearty and sincere welcome to the
state Of Minnesota Greatly regret nv
illness prevents my presence at your
reception"
President Taft. in reply TO Governor
Jollnson's telegram. said:
II am greatly distressed to hear of
your serious illness. I miss your smil-
ing and courteous personal greeting.
which I have had every time / have
come to the state heretofore. and I
thank you from the bottom OF nlyfheart
for your message OF welcome sent
when you are on bed OF pain

wonderful strength and fortitude will
make your recovery speedy.

FOUND ROLLER A HARD ONE.
Champion GOtch However, Secured
His Two Falls.

Kansas City, April 2s.-In a fast
match that kept the crowd on its feet
from the start. Frank Gotch defend
ed his title as wrestling champion of
the world against DIR. Benjamin F.
Roller of Seattle at Convention hall
here last night. The champion won in
straight falls, first in 81 minutes SIS
seconds with a combination crotch
and half Nelson hold, and the second
in IS minutes 20 seconds with a re-
verse Nelson.
In the first bout Roller was gener-
ally the aggressor and Gotch several
times appeared to be in trouble, but
was always able to turn the tables on
his opponent. Roller repeatedly de-
monstrated his ability to wriggle out
of dangerous positions and success
fully eluded Gotch's efforts to secure
the toe hold
ROLLER is every bit as good as any
foreigner 1 ever met, if not shade
better" was the champions comment.
"Gotch is a gentleman and the
greatest wrestler in the world" said
Roller. He beat me fairly and I
honor him for it."

work And it is only fitting that it

| team in 1888. In 1887 he played with
Southern league.
Jack Haskell, chief of the W. L. UNI

you more about that team than any
citizen Of the city.

lI.eayenworth w. A. team was in To-
poets to be here again tomorrow to at
tend the opening game. According to
Mr.. Rohr Leavenworth's baseball sal
ivation is confined to the Jack Sweeney
Isent that city. Mr.. Rohr says that
there are about 20 players working out
there, all of whom will play in the out
law circuit. All the players in the
league are working out there.
The grounds of the local club are in
readiness for the opening of the sea-
son. All the turnstiles have been In
Istalled, and no one can enter without
passing through the stiles and being
REGISTERED This also prevents conges-
Ition and a rush at the gate.
Watch Danberry tomorrow. Dan
will be in his element.
| Peggy Robbins, the secretary of the
local club, will be on hand tomorrow.
Peggy is recovering from his recent Ill
ness and is ready to resume his work.
| Danberry is right now under the ban
of the Jaw. He was arrested yester-
Iday. A kid crawled over the fence
Sunday and refused to go out and Dan
berry insulted him. The kids dad is
a lawyer. Some kids may be less fortu-
nate as their dads may not be lawyers.
lDanberry puts 1t this: mo kid Is go
ling to climb over the fence If I know
lit and I don't care what their dads isl
AS stands now Danberry is under $50

Is good man. / have been on his
tran for four years and was greatly

Last season he was with the New York
State league, and worked in great shape
over there. In fact he was considered
one of the best in the circuit.
I have my umpires all instructed
now, and expect them to work through
the season. I rarely ever have any
trouble with the officials. I never stand
for any home umpiring. and do not
think the fans of any city will expect
any favors. If they do they will find
themselves out in the cold. My staff is
