New York, July 16-But why should
such a hue and cry go up over the
chances Ketchel has or hasn't with
Jack johnson?
Just because he broke his hands on
that tough citizen. William Papke. and
didn't happen to flatten him In less
than q round, is there any good reason
to believe that he has less Of chance
with Johnson?
He beat Papke three out of four and
it is safe to say that he can beat him
every day In the week On one occas-
ion he might knock him out cold as a
wedge. and the neXt-well, tough old
Bill" might cover and stall and scam
per as he did In the last shindig and
so the route no matter what the limit
What has that to do with KetchelS

chel will fight Johnson and he'll fol-
low his own plan of battle. just as II
the Papke tumble had not been boot
ed. II was Ketchel's anxiety TO save
his and his friends money on that 12-
round bit of fooliehness that caused

until he became superintendent, di-
rector and finally railroad president.
Mr Brown is a practical man in
every thought and action, During ais
varied career he has known the fas-
cination of throwing open the throttle
of an engine and feeling the engine
move at his direction He has thrown
switches as a brakeman on the train,
and he knows how to handle and make
up a freight train. His western ex-
periences developed another factor in
Mr. Browns makeup. namely. his
nerve. for on at least one occasion he
was called upon TO head band OF
railroad men in a fight against train
robbers. and he led them TO such ad-
vantage that not a member of his com
pany was injured while the train rob
bers were NOT only routed but some of
them captured. Up In the mountain
passes he has broken blockades In the
teeth of a blizzard
These experiences arc all of the
past Now, however, Mr. Brown is
able not only to sympathize with the
men under him but 10 understand taelr
thoughts and motives and to direct af-
fairs in practical way At the age
of tifty-six he is physically and men
talk vigorous and has a grasp on the
detail Of the New York Central rail
road such as is possessed by few other
presidents

BOLIVIA DOES NOT EXPRESS
SYMPATHY FOR ARGENTINA.

La Paz. July 15-It is not confirmed
here that Bolivia expressed official
regrets TO the Argentine Republic for
alleged hostile demonstrations at La
Paz. On the contrary, II is asserted
that in response TO the claim for salts
faction the Bolivian government re-
piled tnat neither the Argentine min
lister nor the Argentine flag had suf-
fered In any way and that consequently
the Bolivian government did not recog-
nize the claim for satisfaction.
President Montes has informed the
Peruvian minister that under no cir
cumstances will Bolivia accept the ar
bitral award, and although measures
have boen taken TO prevent attacks on
the legations, the difficulty of a set
tlement remains.

tens of the world is William C Brown,
president of the New York Central
Forty years ago Mr.. Brown was
working at odd jobs as a lad Of six
teen years, for one of the railroads In
the west. Even as boy he grasped
the possibilities Of railroadlng and set
to work TO make himself a factor In the
railroad world. He had no financial
backing and no influence, but he had
determination. ambition and energy,
three qualifications which have made
American railroads what they are to-
day. Before he was twenty years old
ne had mastered the secrets of the
Morse code and his ability was recog-
nized almost Immediately. Within a
few years ne was train dispatcher.
