WOULD NOT SURPRISE JEFF
If Stanley ketchel Would Knock Out
Negro Champion.

New York. June flames J. Jehries
has declared that he will fight Jack
johnson fer the heavyweight champion
ship, but from statements made in COM
munications to his friends here. the
one time maker of boilers, would not
be surprised if Stanley KetcheI knock
ed out the negro title-holder in their
bout al Colma, Cal, next October.
Admirers of Ketchell believe the Mich
igan fighter will find some way to PEN
citrate the peculiar and effective de-
Tense of Johnson and make him quit
With body blows Ketchel himself says
that johnson cannot take a beating
The Michigan middleweight will be Civ
en- an opportunity to show whether he
has gained in ring science when next
Wednesday night he me cts Jack OBrien
in six round bout at Philadelphia.
O'Brien is a hard man to beat in a
six round bout and Ketchell will be
lucky to get to the Philadelphia be-
fore the final gong.
This interesting pair met once before
and in ten round bout Ketche1I won.
For seven rounds O'Brien had the
Michigan fighter confused and outlook
ed but in the last three rounds Ketch-
ell worked under O'Briens guard and
sent the Philadelphia man to the floor
repeatedly.
Since then KetcheIl has been roaming
the country, meeting second raters and
| incidentally preparing himself for the
championship fight with Johnson.

PUTS 1T UP TO ROOT.
John Norris Writes Letter to tie
Senator on the Paper Duty.

New York. June John Norris,
chairman of the committee on paper
OK the American Newspaper Publishers
association, has forwarded to Senator
Root letter setting forth new data on
the paper duty.
The senator's attention is directed %
a comparison of his newspaper and
re riodical constituency with his paper
mill constituency and the statement is
E:ade that the newspapers of New York
state pay seven times as much for la
Dor as all tho newspaper mills.
1t is set forth also that the labor
cost of q ton of paper is less in the
United States than in Canada, the av-
erage pay per day in this state being
81 65. Senator Root is asked to consid-
er also the serious menace to the for
|ests of the state through the destruc-
ton of spruce.
Mr.. Norris says:
Newspapers are entitled to consider
alton from you even if you ignore the
extraordinary function they perform in
dissent hating Intelligence, in prolnot-
ing knowled ge and in facilitating the
work of government. Those citizens are
the best and are in complete touch
with the work of administration and
the furtherance of the newspaper
mission is worthy of your serious ef-
fort An increase in the consumption
of paper is due to the increasing in
te lligence of the people,"

BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Santa F'e Station at Great Bend Is
Short About $500,

Great Bend, Kan. June 7.-One of
the most daring robberies in Great
Bend was perpetrated during the
noon hour when unknown persons
entered the office of the Santa Fe
station and robbed the cash drawer.
Between $165 and 5000 was taken.
The robbery occurred while the
station employees were out of the
room. W. r. Klinedenst, operator
and ticket agent, had stepped from
the room for a moment. A checking
clerk, who also stays at the station
during the noon hour, was out in the
yards.
Upon his return to the office the
ticket agent noticed the loss. The
safe drawer had been opened by .
Jimmy and all the money taken
In addition the ticket stubs were con-
fscated so it is impossible to tell the
exact loss.
