COULTER SIGNED TO
MIX WITH SULLIVAN
VENIC ATHLETIC CLUB WILL
STAGE light
Men viii Travel Twenty Rounds Sat-
urday Evening-Two Good Prelm-
inaries Arranged by Adrldge.
Sam Confident

Sam Coulter, the erstwhile amateur
champion of the Pacific coast, is to be
given another opportunity to make
good. Manager Bill Aldridge has
signed the Los Angeles fighter to meet
Montana Kid Sullivan over the twenty
round route Saturday night, November
20, at Venice.
While Angel City fans have been
patting themselves on the back in an
ticipation of several fistic events which
promise to materialize within the next
few months, the Venice club also has
been doing things. Coulter and Sulli-
van will travel the long distance
course as main event for one of the
best cards which has ever been put on
at the beach city. Gene McGovern, or
Boer Unholtz In miniature, and Young
Thomas will step six rounds, while Kid
Rodgers and Kid Rees will so similar
distance.
Right Is Working
The old adage that champion never
shows his true callber at the begin
ming of his career may again prove
true. Notwithstanding Sans draw
with Gene Sullivan and his defeat at
the hands of Norvall, his gameness
and staying qualities entitle him to an
other chance.
Coulter's last fight was not a whirl-
wind affair. He appeared unable to
use his right, but occasionally slipped
over n left with good effect. Since
then Coulter has been working with
his right at everything which has
come within reach. Bill Cannon, Sans
manager. confidently asserts that Sui
livan will take the count after about
fifteen rounds of milling. That Sulli-
van is not only a clever boxer but
one of the toughest propositions who
ever crawled between the ropes no one
who has seen him fight will deny.
Should Coulter take his measure Angel
City fans again may see the former
Athletic club boy at McCarey's Maud
! junction pavilion.
Mc0overn and Young Thomas prom
ise to put up fast mill and both are
counting on an early knockout. Nc
Governs most recent performance en-
titles him to no little respect and con-
sideration. Thomas, however, believes
that he will get his man by a clear
decision If not a knockout
Kid Rodgers and Kid Rees both
willing mixers and fairly clever, are
billed as the semi windup. Rees'
showing against Hobo Dougherty
marks him as a scrapper of some abil-
ity, while in Rodgers he will meet an
opponent worthy of his steel.

viii Erect Coliseum

VIII Erect Coliseum
Mr.. Kinney in an interview yester-
Cay evening said that although ii was
too early in the game to arrange the
details he believed the staging of
the fight at Venice would be a success
from every point of view. With Abb
bot Kinney back of the project there
is but little doubt as TO the ultimate
success. Should Kinney and Eakins
be successful in persuading the big
fellows to settle the title as to the
worlds heavyweight championship at
Venice a coliseum will be erected on
the present site of the Athletic ball
park capable of seating 100000 per-
sons.
Negotiations already have been en-
tered into with the railroad COM
panies. who have promised every as
sistance. For training quarters Ven
ice offers ideal attractions and the
revenue derived from this source alone
undoubtedly would run we'll into the
thousands
Although the immensity of tn
project is, at first, overwhelming
careful consideration reveals the fact
that from this side of the score board
the battle should be a financial sue
cess for whoever stages it, A con-
servative estimate places the atten-
ounce at no less tlArlll IbHih'Ds 1 lltLl
the railroads may be induced to con-
tribute a large share Of the sum bid is
believed when the vast crowds which
will undoubtedly come to California
del Sur to witness the match are con-
sidered.
Not only would Los Angeles and
Venice profit by the advertisement re-
ceived but the whole of Southern
California would be immeasurably
benefited As the fight in all proba-
bility will be held about the Fourth of
July, the seaside city also will offer
attractions as a summer resort.
Van Court Manager
Dewitt Van Court, former trainer
of James J. Jeffries and one of the
best known sporting men on the coast

WILL INCREASE ARMY CADETS.

President Wants More Appointed to
West Point-Not Enough Officers.
Less than 80 per cent of the whole
number of officers in the United
States army are graduates of the West
Point military academy, and each
graduating class is about eighty short
of the number necessary to officer the
army
The President and the Secretary of
War plan to urge Congress to increase
by 125 the number of cadets to be
sent to the academy and to have them
appointed every three years. instead
of every four years as at present. The
present strength o. the corps of Ca
diets at West Point was established
many years ago, when the army con-
sisted of only $4,000 men. In 1901
the army was increased to it's present
strength of $4,000 men and $500 on
GERS. About the same time Congress
authorized a project for enlarging the
plant at the military academy and has
appropriated altogether about $780,
600 for the construction of new build
ings and the enlargement of existing
ones Col. Scott says that by next
spring the Improvements will have
been advanced sufficiently to accommo-
date $50 cadets.

ONE KILLED AND TWO SCORE
HURT IN I. C. WRECK
Trains in Head-On Collision at Par
nell City Victims Delegates to
Sunday School Convention.

One person killed and two score In
jured, many probably fatally, is the
reported result of a head-end collision
between passenger trains on the Hi
nois Central at Parnell, Ill. Almost
all the victims, including the dead,
were delegates to Sunday school
convention held at Farmer City, Ill.
A few were visitors returning from
the State fair at Springfield.
Parnell is about six miles south OF
Farmer City. 1t is a way station,
without a train dispatcher or any tele-
graph connection. The first word was
received at Clinton, hand car hav-
ing been used to reach the telegraph
Office nearest the scene, from which
the news was wired. A relief train
with every available physician in Gin
ton started for the wreck, equipped
for the relief of the injured More
than an hour was required for the
run to Parnell and meanwhile the In
jured continued without aid save such
as was afforded in a town of few In
habitants. According to the reports,
both trains were making at least
forty miles an hour. Every car OF
the lighter train was derailed. The
heavier train suffered less. but the
baggage and smoking car telescoped.

LOVE LEADS TO PENITENTIARY.
Womas, Convicted of Stepdaughter's
Murder, Accuses Husband.

On behalf of Mrs. Rae Krauss, of
Hartford City, Ind, now serving life
sentence in the womans prison for the
murder of her stepdaughter, Crystal
Krauss, Attorney ]. A. Hindmann has
fled a cross complaint in the divorce
proceedings brought by William r.
Krauss. In the complaint Mrs. Krauss
says her husband murdered his own
laughter and they agreed that she
should be punished for it because the
court would be more lenient with
woman and because Krauss who is
wealthy and prominent, could use his
influence to get a pardon for his wife.
The complaint alleges that she was
'cajoled, threatened and coerced" by
her husband into signing confession
which she wrote, and that he has not
lived up to his part of the agreement
made at that time, namely, to get a
pardon for her. She said that she as
sumed the role of murderess out of her
love for her husband.
The death of Crystal Krauss was
one of the greatest mysteries in In
diana. The girl was Is years old and
was popular. Her stepmother seemed
fond of her and the two were insep-
arabic. Her death was caused by
Strychnine poisoning, the most dam-
aging evidence being given by a milk
mans boy, who said Mrs. Krauss sent
him to drug store to get ten cents
worth of strychnine. The next morn
ing Crystal krauss was dead.

DECISION IS AGAINST WALSH.
Chicago Banker and Railroad Mag
nate Must Go to Prison.

nate muSL 20 TO frlSOn
John R. Walsh, Chicago banker and
railroad magnate, lost his battle to
reverse his sentence of five years in
the penitentiary for violation of Fed
eral banking laws Tuesday. The Uni
ted States Circuit Court of Appeals af-
firmed the finding of the lower court,
and unless the United States Supreme
Court interferes he will go to the Fort
Leavenworth (Kan.) prison.
The aged defendant was not in court
when the decision was read by Judge
Grosscup, who sat with Judges Baker
and Seaman, but he learned his fate
by telephone while at his desk in the
Grand Central Station building. The
decision fails to upset any point of the
finding that Walsh broke the law in
the use of funds of the Chicago Ma
tional Bank, of which he was presi-
dent
Part of the opinion. which was writ
ten by Judge Humphrey, refutes the
defense's assertion that Walsh had no
criminal intent in the manipulation
OF the securities intrusted to him. In
this regard the decision quotes: "A
reckless act is always regarded as the
equivalent of a willful one. and that
at least was here"
