Papke and Carries on
the Battle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 8.
Stanley Ketchel. Of Michigan Is

the tenth-although nearly every.
body seems 10 think that Papke had
slipped to the floor.
There is absolutely no question
but Ketehel earned a clear-eut deci s.
ion"
The feature OF the fight was the
extreme viciousness with which both
men fought and the apparent hatred
that lurked behind every punch.
PapIxe Dissatisfied.
Ed. Papke. brother. manager OF
the defeated pugilIst. minced no
words in showing his displeasure
over the decision. He said that his
brother should at least have been
given a draw
The defeated pugllist said nothing
further than that he would hight

All styles, kinds and qualities Of

hard matter for the Judges to pick
the prize winners. AS the exhibit Is
open to the world, the display this year
will surpass that of last year very
greatly.
The officials Of the association are
banking on the horse show as being
one OF the principal attractions, and
in order to accommodate the crowd
have arranged for the construction OF
three tiers of seats on either side OF
the street. Admittance charge t.
these seats will be small. price hav,

CONTRACT WAS LET.

The county commissioners let the
contract for the repairing of the jail
windows to Harry Hodgin. The con
tract price was $3.50. Mr. Hodgiu
will begin work Immediately in order
that the work may be done before cold
weather sets in.
Mr.. Hodgin was the only bidder
There were a number OF other contrac-
tors who had examined the plans and
specifications, but made no bid The
job is more tedious one. than hard
one. as the bars Of the windows have
to be removed in order to put in the
castings.
It is believed that the Improvement
will make the Jail very suitable for the
housing Of criminals. 1t is certain
that the institution can be run at less
cost for heating as result of the pro.
posed improvement.

Since the corn school at Centerville

POLICE SUSPECT
A JAIL DELIVERY
Member of Frank ToWnSend'S

The Jail.
WANTED TO SECURE TOOLS
OTTO PETERS Is ALLEGED BY
TIE POLICE TO HAVE BEEN IN
THE PLOT TO RELEASE THE
YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.

The police prevented what is be-
lieved to have been a desperate \at-
tempt to break jail on the part of
Frank Townsend. the self confessed
burglar Of the Commons Dairy COM
pany, shortly after noon today.
Otto Peters. a close chum Of Town
send was seen to sneak around in
back of the Jail and get up on the
roof where he leaned over and at
tempted to hold = conversation with
Townsend. The person who witness
ed this act heard Townsend hoarsly
whisper. get me some TOOLS" then he
Immediately notified the police of
what he had seen. Patro.man Vogel-
song went back quietly and caught
Peters in the act. He commanded the
young man to come down and not to
try to get away or he would shoot.
Peters obeyed the summons and
was taken into headquarters where
he was closely questioned in regard to
his actions. He is believed by the
police to have been implicated in sew
eral robberies that have taken place
in this city recently and is accused by
Townsend of having been one of the
party who. robbed the c. c. & l..
freight cars west of the city lately.
Peters denies his guilt but it is
thought ample evidence can be secur-
ed to convict him.
Townsend and Lotus were taken to
the county Jail this afternoon. Town
send declares that if he is sent to the
reformatory he will send number Of
others there, also. In rounding up this
noted court house gang the police
have accomplished what they. have
been trying to do for years.

VICTORY is A
BARREN ONE
Government Wins Decision in Con-
mOditieS Clause Case.
Railroads May Not Haul Goods They
Produce Directly, but May Con-
troll Producing Companies - Re-
versal OF Findings of Lower Court
in This Case.

Washington, May At has been
United States Supreme court has been
received with as much interest as was
manifested yesterday in. the reversal Of
the Circuit courts commodities
clause" decision, affecting the anthra-
cite coal carrying railroads. These
cases had been decided by the Circuit
court favorably to the railroads, in
that the clause of the Hepburn rate
law which prohibits interstate rail-
roads from carrying commodities man
ufactured, mined or produced directly
or indirectly by the road was declared
unconstitutional. The general impress
zion had been that the decision would
be affirmed by the Supreme court.
When, therefore, there was a reversal
instead of an affirmation the interest
was much magnifed. When again it
was found that the reversal was based
on technical grounds, and that the
effect was really favorable to the rail
road companies, sentiment took another
turn.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice White, who declined to give out
more than a summary, showing the net
result of the courts finding. Because
of the courts delay in announcing its
conclusion it was generally supposed
that the court would be found to be
much divided. Only one dissenting
opinion was announced-Justice Har-
lan's statement that he did not follow
the conclusion on the point that the
law did not prohibit the railroad own
ership of stock in commodities-produc-
ing companies.
Analysed, Justice Whites decision
is that congress did not transcend its
constitutional authority in enacting the
commodities provision, but it was held
that the governments construction of
the provision had been entirely toe
comprehensive. AS construed by the
court, the sole object of the clause is
to prevent carriers being associated in
interest with the commodities trans
ported at the time of transportation.
Summed up, the act only compels COM
panies to disassociate themselves from
the products they carry and the gov
eminent contention that the law applies
to the ownership of stock and prohibits
the transportation of commodities sim
ply because they have been produced
by a railroad company is untenable.
The effect of the decision is favor
able to the railroads and the govern
ment lost on practically all points ex
cept in the sustaining of the principle
involved.
The decision sustained the provision
of the law exempting timber from the
operations of the commodities clause
This exemption was used as basis o.
attack by the railroads.

The Supreme judicial Court of
Maine in Smart VS.. Aroostook Lumber

held that. although the defendant log
ging company had monopolized the
commercial business on a navigable
stream by filling it with floating logs,
plaintiff was entitled to its use for
access to his summer cottage, and that
navigation for the purpose OF mere
pleasure is as much within the protec-
ton Of the law as use for CONNER

on this proposition was on plaintiff and
that she had failed to sustain it.

Will Hear Interesting Report.
Chicago, May 3.-Amazing statistics
will be presented to the National Peace
society, which convenes here today, by
Benjamin F. Trueblood, secretary of
the American Peace society. In re-
port compiled for distribution among
the delegates it is asserted that 49,
900, 900 persons have sacrificed them
selves in wars since the beginning of
authentic history.
"This vast number of Victims" says
Mr.. Trueblood, sis about equal to all
the people who inhabited the globe for
the last 600 years, allowing three gen.
erations to the century and $50, 900, 900

Of men lost in the wars in the Nine
teenth century, including those who
died of wounds and diseases, places il
at IA, 000,0 900. Of this number the
Napoleonic campaigns are responsible
for about six million.
Losses in the American Civil wal
have been variously estimated at from
500, 900 to 1000, 600 men. The brief
war between Prussia, Austria and Italy
in 1866 entailed loss of As, 900 men. y

FARMING IN INDIA
Religious Rites Required Through
out the Entire Season.

Agricultural practice in southern
India from start to finish requires re-
ligious rites, says the Madras Mail.
In the Tamil districts the agricul-
tural year commences about April. On
April % the cultivators Of a village
consult a "yalluvan," who fixes for
them the kind Of wood that they should
cut and take away. He is supposed to
settle the question as the result Of as
trological observations made on the
commencement OF the Tamil New
Years day, which falls about April 10.
Each cultivator then takes little cam
phor, some incense. a few plaintains
and cocoanut. and with others assem-
bled for the purpose he proceeds TO the
forests, where he worships the tree be
is about to cut, Offering the plaintains
and the cocoanut. Then he lops off
the first branch. taking good care that
it falls on the right side. In each year
the side is different. Prosperity to
himself and his cattle is firmly be-
lieved to depend very much upon this.
He then cuts away the required guam
| tity Of wood and takes 1t home.
Another day is then selected, soon
after the early rains Of the same
month, by the "valluvan" and then the
greatest event OF the agricultural year
occurs. Each ryot takes the wood he
has selected for the pillow. which is
newly fitted up and taken to the field,
where the bullocks are tied to it, and
behind 1t stand other plows with teams
of oxen tied to them, while large
crowds assemble around the teams.
The principal plowman then daubs
the pair Of oxen tied to the new pillow
with aniline powder and turmeric
paste; he lights camphor and burns
incense before it, breaks a cocoanut
and with 1t he makes an offering OF
pot of jaggery water and parched
grain and Bengal gram. Then he
drives the pillow across the field, pre-
ceded by the other plowmen, and after
few rounds the oxen are unyoked
and the offerings distributed to those
present.
