German and English families who lived in
the New York City of colonial times,
gathered tonight at Delmonico's around
the gilded weathercock of the New Amster-

society in 1856 by Washington Irving, The
diners smoked Dutch clay pipes a yard
long and the banquet room was decorated
in the Dutch colors. orange and blue.
President Schuman Of Cornell was the
principal speaker. He talked on National
Problems beginning with the tariff and
its relation to the cost Of living, he turned
to a discussion of the income tax and the
inheritance tax. Both of these he consid-
cred excellent means of raising money.

article wrongly accusing him Of having
originated a pecnage system to which the
employees OF a certain breakfast food COM

subjected.
In his opinion Justice Gerard character

newspaper simply because they are such
officers and without any further proof to

WHO wins, eoTCH on THE TURKf
Match for WORLDS Championship ON

Frank Gotch. champion wrestler Of the

Bulgarian Turk, q chance to take back 10
the sick man OF Europe the title all Turkey
Graves. The two big fellows meet at Dexter
pavilion. Chicago, tonight.
on this same mat Gotch became cham
pion OF the world a little over one year ago
when he BUNDLED the vaunted Russian
many fans said Gotch didn't have the ghost
OF a show. Yet Gotch made a monkey of
Hack.
Now, many fans believe the Turk will
beat the Iow champion. Many others do
not. The Turk Is a great man. no dues-
uoning that and he doubtless has a chance
The two men will weigh about alike,
Mahmout 1873. Gotch 1871 he gets down to
the point Farmer Burns wants him. Gotch
y admittedly the more scientific and may
be a little stronger than the Turk. though
not much. The Turks peculiar build IL
greatly In his favor. He ought to be able
to make it difficult for Gotch to slip his
toe hold on him. His feet are short and
very thick and muscular and his legs are
marvels Of strength. Around the thigh
he has a leg bigger h that of any other
%tinuation of his head and this make a
head hold almost out of the question. The
mans back Is a wonder.
But Gotch knows more holds than
Mahmout, is quicker and equally as aE-
eressive.. As a ring general he is the SUI
perior Of the Turk. His ~headworks beats
the foreigners.
Those who are contemplating the POSSIBLE
ity of Gotoh losing are wondering how long
II would be before America would recover
the title. Safe to say a very long time.
Ed Smith, the same man who refereed
the Gotch-Hsck match. will hold the ball
ance this time. The crowd will be immense,
probably much larger than the one that
saw Gotch beat Hack.
Farmer Burns has had Gotch in tow,
training him as he did for the Hack match
and every other big match. He admits
Gotch has a hard job on his hands.
