No Elephants" at Seoul.

The Rev. DR. G. Heber Jones,
senior missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Korea, and Mrs.
Jones are visiting the latter's parents
here. Mrs. Jones Friday said there
could be no truth in the story. said
to be contained in a book on the
Korean court written by Frau Emma
Kroebel, recently published in Berlin.
to the effect that when the Taft party
visited the tomb of the empress of
Korea, in the suburbs Of Seoul. Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, then Miss Alice
Roosevelt, smoking a cigar, sprang
astride one of the sacred stone idol
elephants mounting guard over the
sepulcher and requested Mr.. Long
worth to take her picture.
First, there are no stone elephants
in or near Seoul said Mrs. Jones.
There are crude images of horses,
goats, and other animals, but not one
of an elephant. AS there was no ele-
plant for Miss Roosevelt to mount, 1t
is just as likely that she had no cigar
to smoke. At the time of the Taft
visit to Seoul, DR.. Jones and I We're
absent, but do you not suppose that
if Miss Roosevelt had desecrated the
tomb we should have heard of IL from
all the other missionaries on our re-
turn. There was no mistress Of court
ceremonies named Kroebel during the

LOVE TO MEET SCHUMACHER
Light-weights to Battle in Balti-
more Thursday.
Washington Boxer, Although a Vet
eran, Has Long Record OF
Victories TO Credit.

Tommy Lowe, the Washington light
weight. who IS matched 70 meet al Schu-
racher, CT New York. before the Eureka
Athletic Club. OF Baltimore, next Thurs
Gay night. has a record which will COM
pare favorabiy with the best boxers in
his class in the East. Lowe has fought
almost every leading boxer in the East
and holds a decision over Bert Keyes,
who IS regarded as the best lightweight
now boxing around New York, and many
figure that he has a good chance to take
Battling Nelson's lightweight title away
from him If ne is given an opportunity
In the ring with the famous Battler.
Lowe fought Keyes in Albany. N. Y. a
year ago and receiVed the decision over
the New Yorker az the end OF the hf-
teenth round Directly after this Lowe
came back and fought a draw with
Mickey Cannon. Of Pittsburg, who IS
known IN pugilism as the knockout cham
pion. having made a record OF winning
thirty out Of forty battles by the knock
out route. and not long ago put Fighting
Dick Nelson away with a punch in the
jaw IN the first round. What makes
Loves bout with Cannon look better
IS the fact that Cannon had lot Of
weight on him. the Pittsburg man being
practically a welter-weight and Lowe a
legitimate lightweight.
Lowe has beaten all Of the light-weights
IN this section and on form he appears
10 be a most dangerous opponent for
Schumacher, as only this season Lowe
beat Dummy Decker. who got a draw
with Schumacher. The New Yorker, how
ever. had the better OF his contest with
Decker, but the referee did not see II
that way. Sammy Harris. manager CT
Schumacher, recently made an offer Of
SO to Decker If he would put his name
TO set Of articles for a return match,
but Harris claims he could not pull Deck
ef into the ring with the New Yorker with
a team Of horses. Schumacher has never
bad a decision given against him in his
two years experience In professional
ranks.
