O'Keefe Beats
Two Fighters
In Nine Rounds
Joe O'COnnOr Falls i'm the Sixth
While Martin Judge Lasts
but Three

Jack O'Keefe of Denver made good
his promise to stop two men within 20
rounds at Point Richmond yesterday
afternoon. He disposed of Joe OConnor
in six rounds and then came back and
beat Martin Judge in the third.
Q'Keefe, agreed to beat both inside of
20 rounds, but delivered the goods in
less than half that time.
The first fight was a rough one, both
men wading in fast all the time.
O'Keefe was the stronger and more ag-
gressive and in the middle of the sixth
round he brought over heavy right
to OConnors jaw and the latter fell TO
the mat with a thud- He was out for
fair and it took several minutes to re-
vive him; OfConnor took lot of pun
1Shment throughout.
After rest of To- minutes O'Keefe
went on with Martin Judge, the oidtime
Philadelphia middle weight. For the
with Judge having all the better of it
with his cleverness. The crowd was uD
in the air and everybody expected that
Judge would come on and win the de-
cison over his rough opponent.
But lack of condition began TO tell on
the man from Philadelphia in the third
He had but two days OF training and
he began to weaken O'Keefe rushed
Judge hard and landed a couple of body
blows which slowed him up. Referee
Sol Levinson stopped the fight and
awarded the decision to OKeefe, though
Judge was ready to continue the fight
ing until he was knocked out.
Kid Barnes of Los Angeles won
the preliminary from Barney Driscoll
of Vallejo. The boys are feather
weights and they put up a fast mill
for six rounds. Though out of shape
Barnes managed to stall along and had
the better of every round. He gave a
remarkable exhibition of cleverness and
the decision was we'll received by the
crowd.
The bouts were held in the opera
house and drew out only a small crowd
on account of the wet weather and the
counter attraction, the opening of the
racing season. frankie Edwards and
Jimmy Foley were also billed to go
10 rounds, but this mill was declared
off at the last minute because of the
small crowd

GIVING PUBLICITY TO CRIME

With the best of intentions, the New York Federations of Women's Clubs at the recent convention in Rochester voted i'll favor of the segregation of news dealing with crime, scandal, or grewsome accidents. This was done on the theory that those who wished to avoid reading about such matters could skip the page where it was assembled.
 Sounds excellent in theory, but in practice 1t would result as did the attempt in the old edl- tions of the Latin and Greek classics to stow away in the back of the book the passages not suitable for the eye of youth. Byron describes the effort to purge the copies, but on investi- gation it was found that the well thumbed sec ton of the book was the forbidden part.
 All in all, the editor is as anxious to please as is the reader to find what he is interested in. The multifarious ramifcations give him more trouble than they give the purchaser of the paper.
 Sane and rational newspapers have been go ing along in the even tenor of their ways for years, while the freak has come and gone, all of which evidences the fact that the average reader is content with present-day journalism When the crying need for something different is heard in the newspaper office, the change will quickly follow.

FIGURES THAT DON'T LIE

A Texas editor has exposed the following ar ray of figures that will prove of interest to peo- pie generally
 The man who imports $1,O00 worth of dia- monds pays tax of but $100, 10 per cent If he imported 1000 shirts, worth $1 each, he would have to leave at the custom house and tack onto his selling prices $601.60 6016 per cent. If he decided that he would bring in $1 900 worth of champagne, one of the items upon which there is large increase, the tax levied by the tariff is $500 If he brought in $1 000 worth of blank cts he would pay tariff tax of $1 ,645.42. If he brought in $1 GOO worth of paintings and statu- ary, all he would have to pay as customs duties would be $200, but if it were sugar he would pay $788.70 tax on $1,000 worth. If he brought in $1,O00 worth of jewelry he would have to pay $500 tariff tax, but if he brought in $1 000 worth of woolen dress goods he would pay $1 1050.92 tariff If he imported a 5000 automobile, the tariff takers would relieve him of $2,250. If it were 5000 worth of yarns the tariff tax would be $6,960. If the importation were $5 5,000 worth of furs the tariff tax would be $1,650 but if it were $5,O0O worth of clothing that tax would be $4,330. If some New York millionaire brings in $l00,000 ocean yacht the tariff would be $35,0OO. but if the importations were stockings the tariff collected would be $S7,950.

A HAUNTED FARM

An ,"Old Subscriber to the New York Sun writes Tn great trepidation to the editor of that estlmable journal on matter of grave import. The letter IS printed, but, unfortunately, not a word of advice given. The writer admits he is m sad predicament, and is almost overwhelmed by it's perplexities.
 His friend A has farm, which another friend, $, real estate dealer is trying to sell to friend C. "Old Subscriber was the man who intro duced to B. So much for the plot and the stage setting. Now goes up the curtain. "Old Subscriber" is seen in the foreground, with an unhappy expression on his face In the back ground IS the farm, with merry band of ghosts haunting it.
 Old Subscriber wants to know whether if would be better to keep quiet about the spooks and let c get the worst of the bargain by buying job lot of ghosts, and thus making an enemy of C, or whether he should risk the anger of both A, who IS trying to dispose of the haunted prop- erty, and B, who, as a real estate man. cares nothng about the number of ghosts he sells as long as he gets his commission for the land
 '. knows nothing of the spooks, and "Old Subscriber" feels that to tell him would look iKe meddllng ln the affairs of A, for as vet the hobgobns are the property of A.
 At the end of his pathetic epistle. "Old Snb- scrlber :" answers all scoffers by the following paragraph:
 of course fact that the farm is bptd and he knows that know because have visited him and dld not fa at the time to confront him with my nights perenee with the ghost Doubtless many voud repard . ghost valuable and interesting asset to an old Dutb farm; however from my experience can vouch for the fact that in the present instance farm ghost n far from being an asset it is serious drawback What shall I, dol"

A FEMININE MAN FRIDAY"

''Resolved, That Robinson Crusoe would have been happier had his man Friday been woman," was debated by the students of the High School Literary society at Llanerch, Pa. The girls took the affirmative and the boys the negative Needless to say the girls won.
 We all recall the days when we discussed Caesar vs, Napoleon, Fire is of greater value to man than water, The pen IS mightier than the sword "Travel is more instructive than reading, "s'The Filipinos should be grant ed self-government," "A gun is more useful than a dog" and "Universal peace should take the place of war"
 Why devote our talents to such timeworn sub- jects when the possibilities of the new problems are properly presented? We here have a ques ton propounded that Malthus, Munsterberg, John Stuart Mill Darwin, and Herbert Spencer would have profted by hearing. Here was an expounding of theoretical knowledge monument al in it's potentialites.
 Think of these schoolgirls delving into the mysteries of eugenics, taking up abstruse psy- chology, and entering into the very essence of the whole problem of humankind! In pathetic terms they pictured this solitary man, far away from any home or family ties, alone on barren island, when suddenly he sees footprints in the sand sThereupon these sympathetic maidens expatiate on what his thoughts must have been Would he rather have those footprints made by man or womang
 Fancy Mir. Crusoe's $ thoughts as he imagines 1t some fair Diana, some queen of beauty, some Eve for the poor lone Adam. He can see in his minds eye kingdom, of, which he will be the head. He will found a new race, and will have a little Utopia of his own. Thus wander the thoughts and fancy of the Llanerch girls as they plead most eloquently before the judges of the debate
 What possible refutation can the boys make9 ? They may try to show that Robinson Crusoe was pleased when he discovered Friday. but down in their hearts they know that he was hoping 1t was woman. What can a man do as a helpmate? Would it not be more interest ing to teach woman to read and the arts than to teach them to man? But why attempt to bolster up poor cause? The boys were defeat ed before the first word was spoken. In fact why should boys try to debate against girls. any more than husband should attempt to areue any question with his wife? These boys are young and know little of the world. Girls arc never young in the same sense. for they have a faculty of solving problems relating to love and its kindred manifestations far beyond that of| an experienced man.
