Rowett Still Champion

John Rowett of Bessemer still re-
mains the heavyweight champion OF
the world In Cornish-style wrestling
Although Hermann Stoll of Calumet
put up game and mighty interesting
matcn with him Saturday evening at
the Calumet opera house he was unable
10 wrest from him the championship
title. Rowett took the last two OF
three falls. Stoll getting the first in
one hitch. and the champion taking
the second In twenty bitches and the
third in one. Stoll depended more on
his strength and weight and tried very
few trick throws He weighed at least
twenty pounds more than did the Bes-
semer man, and his great strength en-
abled him to break many dangerous
holds. Rowett worked fast ana CON
fdently. showing greatly improved
form over that shown in his former
matches In Calumet. he worked In a
crouching position and bored In with
his head under Stoll s. square" hold.

the ,''square" hold practically all the
time The Calumet man showed the
effect OF being out Of the game for
three or four years and II looked as
though he needed another months hard
work and training TO enable him TO
stand an even chance with the cham
pion. Rowett said after the match.
however. that Stoll put up the hardest
game OF any man he has ever wrestled
with.
The match was deserving OF a larger
attendance. Those present were nearly
all Rowett men and seemed unwilling
10 give Stoll a fair consideration.

Rowett had fall. but did not have
his man more than two pins down, TIE
crowd hooted the referee. Louis Nor

fans at the ringside as perfectly

willing to give the first tall to StolI.
although the referee AWARDED It. when
he had Rowett fiat on his back Ro-
welt himself said the fall was perfect

pRIEsr COMING 10 TEXAS.
Will Watch Out For Interest of the
Waters Pierce Owners.

Austin, Texas, June st is I'M
derstood that Judge H. S. Priest OF
st. Louis, Mo-, counsel for the H
Clay Pierce interests, is due in Aus
tin soon to confer with the district
court, the receiver, R. J. Eckhardt
and Texas counsel for the oil com
pany This has given rise to a rumo1
that the company is preparing to take
some steps to protect the interest OF
the present owners if the property is
sold under the recent decree of Dis
trict Judge Wilcox. Judge Wilcox, in
response to the states prayer, order
ed an inventory of the property Of
the company preparatory to its sale
and it is thought that this order is
responsible for the presence of coun,
sci for the oil company and the in
terest manifested in the disposition
of the business of the company.
Numerous probable purchasers
have been suggested, nearly always
with a qualification that the Pierce
interests would probably protect
themselves and probably acquire the
property in some way so as not to be
connected with the name Waters
Pierce or stand in dread of Texas
statutes. The Texas Company, John
w. Gates, the Pearsons, well known
English operators, and others have
been mentioned as probably buying
the Waters Pierce property when ii
is put under the hammer. The Tex
as Company is building large bust
ness over the state and acquiring
much property. 1t would be in a pc
sition to easily take over the lucra
tive business.

IN NEW YORK
Reported He Has Three Things on
With the Gould Family, But He
Had Nothing to Give Out

New York, June 3.-Judge Thomas
]. freeman, receiver for the Interna-
tionai and Great Northern railway,
has been in this city for the past two
days in conference with members of
| the Gould family and a number of
financiers. 1t was stated today that
his mission is three-fold-to raise
money for certain railroad projects in
| the Southwest; to consult with the
Gollds about a plan for the sale of
the International and Great Northern
to the Cotton Belt, and also to get
opinions from the Goulds in regard to
the great pending suit for forfeiture
of charter of the International and
Great Northern by the state of Texas
Asked today about these three re-
ports, Mr.. Freeman declined to make
/ any statement, saying that his plans
had not as yet matured.
Everything of interest to the pub
lie will be given out when the time is
ripe he said When asked about
the railroad situation in the south
west, he said conditions were very
favorable, and that railroad earnings
were generally showing large in
crease. This is especially true of the
st. Louis G Southwestern. The dec
laration of semi-annual dividend of
2 per cent by the st. Louis e South
western railway yesterday, he said,
confirmed the recent statement that
the preferred stock of that company
was shortly to be placed on per
cent per annum basis. AS a result
of liberal maintenance allowances for
a number of years, the physical con-
ditioni of the property today is in a
good state of operating efficiency.

american Nine Workers Strike in
Cane Breton.

Sydney, c. B.. July 6.-When the whistles sounded
at the Dominion Coal Company's cOllierfes to-day,
more than three thousand members OF the United
Mine Workers of America refused to enter the pits.
and the long expected coal strike on. The
company employs than six thousand men in
the mines. but nearly half this number. all mem

Mine Workers greatest strength lies. The strike
Is generally regarded a between the unions
Late this afternoon about two thousand striking
miners from the colieries consregated ABOUT the
main entry of No 2. The crowd attempted no Vio-
lence, but when the miners attempted to start Tor
their homes, they were followed by cro"ds OF
men and boys who hissed and jeered. Most OF the
men took the jeers IN good part, although severa
minor clashes occurred
The agitation has been going on Tor nearly
year over the efforts of the officials OF the United
Mine Workers OF America to obtain recognition by
the company operating in this province The Amer
lean labor leaders have been strongly opposed by
the officers of the Provincial Workingmen's Asso-
citation. which was formed here time before
the appearance of the United Mine Workers. and
by the coal company, whose managers said that the
American labor leaders seeking to divert the
Canadian coal trade TO the colleries In the United
States.
In the course Of the last month the controversy
between the two labor organizations became bitter.
Fearing violence. the coal company built stockades
around the mines. with electric wires capable of
carrying hign power currents top. The company
also enlisted more than hundred and hfty spe
cial officers for guard duty.
II was said to-day that the United Mine Workers
were acting in defiance of the Lemieux act. which
requires employees to give thirty days notice of a
strike for increased pay.
The collieries all working to-day although
the forces greatly diminished
