RACE SUICIDE IN GERMANY.
Discovery That Birth Rate in Berlin
Is Steadily Decreasing Alarms

Berlin.-German statisticians point

hurled at the American people is ex-
pected from Emperor William.
In England the discovery of Ger
many's danger will come as great re-
lief, for one of the main arguments of
the agitators during the war scare In
England has been to point out that the
German housewife is providing seven
children to the English wifes four.
As far as Berlin is concerned, there
can be no doubt that the situation is
serious. Every year shows a decreas-
ing birth rate. In 1908 the total fell
to 51,036. from 53.S99 the previous
year.
In 1898 about 20 children were born
for every 1000 OF population. whereas
in 1908 the rate had decreased to "a.
In 1878 the birth rate was over A to
the 1000
Another startling fact Just brought
to light is that In 1876 every fourth
married woman bore child; in 1908
every ninth.
In ten years the illegitimate births
have increased out of all proportion
TO the natural increase of population.
In looking for an explanation some
Investigators blame the hard times.
Others say the Berlin married women
show greater dislike to large families.

THE GREAT SEAL

History of Its Development Down to

lection to the Eagle as the
National Bird.

Washington.-Gaill Hunt, chief
of the division OF manuscripts, has
just completed a historical sketch OF
the Great Seal of the United States,
the sketch telling OF the various stages
OF development through which the seal
went before the one now in use was
finally adopted.
When the continental congress
made the diverse of the great seal the
national arms 1t intended that the de-
vice should pass into common use
among the people. as the flag had
done, and. like the flag, the arms at
first met with general approval, which
soon gave place to an acceptance of 1t
as an emblem of the power and SOW
ereignty of the United States, which
placed 1t above criticism.
Not all the fathers of the republic.
however, were pleased with the selec-
ton OF the eagle as the national en-
blem. When the badge of the Order of
the Society of the Cincinnati was
made In France in 1884 it was object
ed to by some because the displayed
eagle resembled a turkey.

Franklin. January 26, 1884. to his

How Helena Helped Crippled ltal-
ian Boy.
Makes Proteae of Small Lad She
Found Suffering and Sad by the
Seashore-Affected by the
Youngsters Pessimism.

Rd1z. .{Queen Helena has added an
other recruit to the legion of her small
proteges. The story of how Michael
Gallo managed to attract the queens
attention is told by the Roman news
papers,
Her majesty accompanied King Vic
tor when the latter went to Brindisi
to meet the German emperor. When
the meeting was over the king and
queen went for long motor excur-
sion in the neighboring district The
royal motor car stopped near light
house. and the queen noticed a Grip
pied boy dragging himself slowly and
painfully along the beach by the aid of
pair of rough and RECONSTRUCTED
crutches.
Approaching the poor boy, Queen
Helena asked him a few questions.
Michael Gallo. such was the cripple's
name, did not realize that the solitary
couple were the king and queen. To
the consoling words spoken to him by
the illustrious lady, he replied in a
melancholy fashion. saying, in effect,
that his sufferings were beyond hui
man endurance. and that he de-
sired nothing better than a. prompt
termination of his bitter existence.
The queens tender heart was deeply
touched by the precocious pessimism
of this youthful disciple of Schopen-
haue,, who further explained that he
lived alone with his father, the light
house keeper. his mother having
eloped with lover some years ago.
Her majesty, taking the boys hands

FANS EAGERLY AWAIT
BIG FIGHT TODAY

New York, July 4.-Boxing enthusiasts
here eagerly await the fight tomorrow
between Ketchel and Papke. Ketchel is
something Of a popular idol. His viii
lingness to battle with Jack Johnson, the
negro. for the heavyweight champion
ship. Notwithstanding the disparity of
weights, and the growing belief that his
fearful punching power may put Johnson
on the run, have drawn additional atten-
ton to the fight with Papke.
The ring records of the two fighters
show that either has a good chance. The
first time this pair met was in a ten
round bout, and Ketchel carried off the
decisOn
Last September they hooked up for an
other cyclone encounter and Papke
bowled over the Michigan fighter in
twelve rounds. This mill took place in
Vernon, Cal. and KetChel declared that
ne was not in condition. The loss of the
mill caused ketchel to become careless
and he ran up 10 1s5 pounds.
Tt seemed as If Ketchel had about de-
cided TO give up the prize ring, when he
was induced to meet Papke again. Ketch-
ell went to work ike q beaver and sur
pTised the sporting public by taking off
over thirty pounds in a few weeks. He
was lightning fast when he charged
across the ring at the bell in the third
encounter with Papke last November in
san Francisco. For eleven rounds ketch-
el gave Paplte a terrible beating and then
knocked him out. Papke's recent hurri-
cane victory over Hugo Kelly Of Chi
cago with one blow shows that ne has
all his old-time quiCkness and punching
power.

NELSON ESCAPES
OGDEN HOLD-UP
Famous Lightweight Champion
Arrives in Salt Lake Aft
err a Strenuous Time.

Battling Nelson, champion of the world,
stopped over in Salt Lake last night on
his way to Los Angeles, where he fights
Ad Wolgast on July Is. 1t was a strenu-
GUS evening for the Battler and is well
worth a chapter in his book. The Bat
tier missed the train at Ogden, missed a
second one, missed being held up and
got into town on a belated Bamberger
for Los Angeles.
Nelson and his two brothers, Charley
and Art, were due in Salt Lake on the
Los Angeles Limited last evening. Bat
got off at Ogden to send a message Civ
ing an account of a narrow escape from
a shooting scraps IN Cheyenne a few
hours previous. 1t appears that Bat and
his brothers stoppei off in Cheyenne,
and while walking along the street met d
crowd coming out Of a saloon, when the
shots began to fly thick and fast. In the
melee one man was badly injured, but
there was nothing doing 10 the Nelson
family. Bat sent out the story from Og-
den to his friends, and while in the tele-
graph office the train pulled out with his
brothers for Salt Lake. Nelson found out
another train left five minutes later, and
rushed out on the platform only to see
that one steaming away for Salt Lake
He then liked out to the Bamberger sta
ton and took the 10 o'clock train for Salt
Lake. This train had no sooner left the
depot than the depot was held up by two
masked men, so Nelson missed this af-
fair by about two minutes The Nelson
brothers spent the evening in Salt Lake
and met the Battler, minus a hat and
shoes, wearing only train slippers. as he
jumped off the delayed Bamberger train
and hoped onto the 11:50 train for Los
Angeles.
Nelson wished to be remembered TO all
his old salt Lake friends and saws he will
do things to that AID Wolgast person In
Los Angeles next week. He says he is in
pretty good shape and will start hard
work as soon as he arrives in the coast
city. Just what he will do after the VOL
CAST fight is not known now. but Bat
says he may take long hunting trip in
the mountains.

round contest, spent the last day of his
training in boxing His sparring part
ner received a good many hard knocks
during the day Ketchel looks in fine
shape and is slightly under weight
At Papkes camp all hands enjoyed a
much-needed rest. What little work the
boxer did was only to keep his muscles

and not disposed to take chances with
his hands. Papke expressed supreme con-
fidence in his ability to defeat ketchel

There was considerable betting during
the day, Ketchel ruling a to ] favorite,
although Papke's supporters showed a
tendency TO snap up offers at first.
