DEVELOPING FIGHTERS VIA
THE PRELIMINARY ROUTE

ies-he is likely to lose heart and
quit before he really starts.
Green men are sent into the ring,
not to get knocked out, for Creel is
very careful in his selection of op-
ponents-although the unexpected
often happens-and works on the
theory that knockout is a STUN
bling block in the way of fighter
which If often never overcome, but
to give them the experience that a
ring battle before an audience can
alone give.
A man may show up well in a
thousand workouts behind closed
doors, and acquire vast knowl-
edge of the game, but exhibit a
severe case of stage fright when
put before a thousand sports, for
get all he ever knew and lose to
the veriest tyro at the game.
Creel is undoubtedly developing
a bunch of fighters capable of hold
ing their own with any on the
coast, and the preliminary is to a
large extent responsible for this.

Il want every one of my boxers
to work at each interclub smoker"
Fred Creel. boxing instructor at the
s. A. A. c., has declared time and
again, and this probably more than
anything else, has built up the
s. A. A. c. fighting squad to the
point where it is the largest in the
history of the club and the largest
in the northwest.
Under Creers policy of giving
everyone chance to show his met
tie before the fight fans mote the
five boxing preliminaries of last
Friday night, the incentive is fur
nished for work of the hardest kind.
When a man with the fighting
bee in his bonnet joins the club. the
first thing he is anxious to know is
when will i get a chance to
fight?" If there ia no opportunity
for him to try his skill and stamina
in anything but a few workouts
within the IL foot boxing room, and
a number of more experienced men
are in line for the few preliminar-

GUARD KEPT AT ROGERS TOMB
Plot to Take His Body Is Feared.
Friends Object.


A Fairhaven, Mass, dispatch to
the New York Tribune says: For
night and day during five months
since the body of Henry H. Rogers,
the Standard Oil man, was laid to
rest in the simple but costly granite
tomb in Riverside cemetery, here, a
trio of armed guards have been pa
trolling the open space around the
tomb. The guards believe that at
tempts have been planned to take
the body away.
Ordered to permit no one, no mat
ter who he or she might pretend to
be, to approach the tomb Samuel
Slocum, James Bradshaw and Hugh
Woods, the three men who have been
on watch, have so literally obeyed
these commands that is is said that
protests against the strict surveil-
ance have been made to the family
by distinguished friends of Mr.. Rog-
ers, who travelled hundreds of miles
to pay respects to his memory.

100000 FOR TUBERCULOSIS CURE

trustees will not be bothered with
bogus remedies one of the restric-
tions in the deed Of gift is that the
remedy must have been in use for
five years, and must be backed up by
reliable testimonials that it has re-
suited in cures. This restriction
however, does not prevent the board
from exposing fake cures.
To Encourage Hunt For Cure.
The donor of this prize has let it
be known that his principal reason
for giving it is to encourage the med
ical profession all over the world to
seek a cure, be it an anti-toxin,
serum or drug, for the disease which
takes the lives of so many persons
every year Not only will fame be
the portion of the discoverer, but a
fortune awaits him, too.
This gift will undoubtedly stimu-
late research work" said member
of the advisory board yesterday, and
may be the means of finding a cure
for consumption. Certainly it will
spur medical men on to find a cure
if any sort of prize can do so.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-12-01

the planter was the supreme law.
He located his slave quarters on the
ia ATHEIST spot of his plantation, laid
them out in the form of little viii
lage, with separate houses, yards
and gardens for each family. There
was good water and good drainage.
Space and air were cheap; every
negro had plenty of both, and the
overcrowding of cabins was never
permitted. When a family became
too large for one cabin another was
assigned. Each cabin had it's open
fireplace, the best of ventilation, and
an ample supply of fuel
The planter prescribed a regular
routine of work and play, food and
sleep. Plantation negroes were al
lowed an almost unrestricted free
dom in their simple sports, which
the planter encouraged. But whis-
ky, cocaine. craps and low dives had
no place in their lives. They had
no worries, no responsibilities and no
thought for tomorrow. Even yet the
old-time negro loves to recount the
joys of the old time. Early to bed,
they rose early, and were able to do
la full days work, with long rest
at midday for man and mule Their
food was not left to chance handling
by unframed cooks, but was prepared
at the general kitchen-good, whole
some, and abundant.
Forty years ago the healthiest man
in America today the negro is the
weakest, most predisposed to dis
ease, the man with the least resistive
power. Heredity and the white
mans regulations made him what he
was in Is; heredity and the negro
mode Of life makes him what he is
now.
The march of medical science has
steadily decreased the white death
rate, but can do nothing for the ne
gro, because the negro will do moth
ing for himself. The death rate of
the black man advances by progress
sion, greater each year as the old
blood dies out and the younger gem
Grafton is less able to resist disease.

CONGRESSMAN FIRE VICTIM
HEROISM COST HON. DAVID A.
D'ARMOND HIS LIFE.
Little Boys Appeal For Aid and
Grandfather's Reply Were Heard
Through the Flames,

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Tn a vain
effort to save the life of his little
grandson Congressman David A. De
Almond of the Sixth Missouri district
persisted in fire that DESTROYED his
home in Butler, Mo-, early today.
His act of heroism became known
late this Afternoon when his body was
found, his arms locked around the
blackened and burned body of the
little boy. He had caught up the
siX-year-old lad, David A. (''Wad-
die') De Almond, Jr., and rushed
with him through the flames that
filled his room. He fell with his I'M
conscious burden and both sank
through the floor to death
COngVessman's Heroism.
What makes the tragedy unusual
ly pathetic is the fact that the boy
was his grandfather's idol. The two
were inseparable, and often slept to-
gether. Last night the boy went to
his grandfather's house as usual, and
after a happy evening the two re-
tired. The next the family heard Of
them was early today when, from be-
hind the smoke and flames that en-
veloped the house, the boy screamed:
"Oh, grandpa, get me out of here
quick. I'm burning to DEATH"
Eyes, son son, don't be afraid;
grandpa will take you out, was the
reply.
Then both went down to their
death.
The others of the family sleeping
in the house at the time of the fire,
Mrs. De Almond, her daughter, Mrs.
Clark, and a maid, Nettie Boles, es-
capped.
Messengers of coincidence from all
parts of the country were received
by the De Almonds this afternoon,
