CALM PREVAILS IN
BRITISH POLITICS
The Postponing of Conflict
Over Budget Pleases ALI
Parties

London, July 12.-Cabling Chicago,
T. p. O'Connor, Nationalist NJ. P.
says:
"The situation is greatly changed
in the house of commons and the
whole political world. John Red
mond's success in getting the minis
ters to have November sittings and to
postpone the final stages of the budg-
ct till then has produced equal de-
light and appeasement in Liberal and
Irish circles. The Liberals are pleas
ed because the postponement of the
budget leaves the fate of the govern
ment entirely In the hands of the
house Of commons and thus prevents
any chance of any such compromise
imperil the Liberal principles. Hence
that dangerous spirit of nJisgiving
and revolt which threatened open
rupture between the ministry and its
supporters has disappeared and the
whole political temper Is again tran
quill and even cheerful 80 far as the
Liberal and Irish ranks are concern
ed. The tories are equally pleased.
their opinion being that all this cessa-
ton from conflict helps them by
soothing the popular passion against
the house of lords.
These facts account for the con-
siderable change during the week in
the attitude of all parties toward the
conference. The pessimism which
looked for any early rupture or f.
nal disagreement. owing to the gulf
between the two parties. has given
place to spirit of optimism, and the
general impression is that the con-
ference will eventuate in an agree
ment between the two parties.
But though this transformation of
temper may mean something. it can
not be taken too seriously. Never has
a political secret been better kept
than the proceedings of the confer
ence. Even to their colleagues the
negotiators are dumb. Balfour's ILL
ness. besides, introduces a new ele-
mcnt of uncertainty and delay.
Irish Party's Power.
Another curious sign of the times
is the feeling among the more ra-
tional Conservatives that the confer
ence, IL it means a compromise on the
constitutional question of the lords
veto. may also mean q compromise
on the Irish question. Evidently ev-
erybody feels the solution of the Irish
question cannot be much longer de-
layed. This feeling is aided greatly
by the spectacle Of the Irish party
controlling all English politics at this
moment. 1t was the Irish party
which forced Premier Asquith and
the cabinet into the announcement
of the demand of guarantees from
the late king. 1t was the Irish party
that passed the budget and forced it
down the throats of the house Of
lords, and it was the Irish party
which forced the November sitting.
The Tories are thus driven to con-
template the desirability of removal
from the imperial parliament Of so
disturbing an element.
Another factor is the we'll known
opinion Of the present king that the
local questions should no longer oc-
cupy SO much Of the time and atten-
tion of the imperial parliament and
that a system Of home rule all around
should leave the imperial parliament
to deal with imperial affairs.
"Ulster and the Orangemen are the
only obstacles left to settlement be-
tween the two parties on the home
rule question"

almost any other sport. Mentally It
teaches the ptfpil presence of mind.
Morally 1t tends to develop the staying
qualities Of man and teaches him to
stand punishment without flinching.
"If the objection is raised to prize
fighting that It causes boys to emu
late the examples of noted fighters,
the same argument must hold true
with regard to professional baseball
players or professionals in other
branches of sport. As matter of
fact the average boy desires to be
a professional athlete and any argu-
ment Of that kind is poor reason.

Gloves Should be Heavier
II believe the gloves should be made
heavier in order to lessen the danger
of injury. although there Is little
danger of permanent injury connect
ed with boxing with the light fighting
gloves-much less than in playing
football or even baseball.
"The boxer trains himself to de-
velop skill to win and he who becomes
the most skillful receives the greatest
reward as in any other vocation"

yard. The Cotton Belt will lose the haul north from the Thebes Bridge to Dupo and if the Iron Mountain loses anything it will be because of the character of the contract by which the Cotton Belt uses the Iron Mountains double track in Illinois from Thebes Bridge to East St. Louis.
 The Gould railroads still own the majority of the Thebes bridge, the Iron Mountain and Missouri Pacific each owning one-fifth and the Cotton Belt one-fifth and the Illinois Central one-fifth.
 AS stated in New York dispatches, 1t is this traffic contract between the Cotton Belt and the l.. & N. that caused the Wall Street stock brokers to talk about the sale of the Gould line to the l.. & N. In the meantime more laurels will go to decorate the L. & N. president.
 The new arrangements of the l.. x N. with the Cotton Belt will result in a heavy increase in traffic through Pine Bluff. Since the recent con- tract has been explained little cred- ence is given the rumor that gained circulation through the Associated Press relative Sto the sale of the Cot ton Belt

Scimeca hastened bareheaded into the street and ran to Elizabeth street. He sounded the warning, and within few minutes a score of persons were on the trail. Returning to his office Dr. Scimeca telephone to police head quarters and Policeman Carso and Costano of the Black Hand squad, soon were engaged in the chase. The locality was thoroughly search
 ed for radius of several blocks, but
 not person was found who could throw any light upon the movements of the man and child Finding their efforts fruitless Policemen Carso and ICostano reported to headquarters and a general alarm was sounded and
 description of the Scimeca child sent broadcast. The child wore a tan
 Buster Brown suit and is pretty. Dr. Scimeca states that in his judg-
 ment the child was stolen for ransom
 ill revenge for his refusal to pay at-
 tention to black hand letters which he received periodically. Some three years ago, he said, he received threat ening letters, which he gave to Lieu tenant Joseph Petrosino, who was as-
 sassinated in Italy, in March, 1909. After that event the letters ceased, and he believed his anonymous cor
 respondents had forgotten him, when, on April 3, the threatening demands were renewed.
 Dr. Scimeca is convinced he will hear from his sons abductor within
 the next few days on the theory that
 the boy was stolen for ransom. Mean
 while the police are searching the
 lower east side for the child, in which
 task they are being assisted by hun-
 dreds of Dr. Scimeca's friends.

money refunded are now seeking to have their original accommodations back again, Rickard said last night.
 But as fast as the money was re- funded for tickets the pasteboards were again placed on sale so it is doubtful if many succeed in getting their original reservations.
 Arena Completed Today.
 The arena structure for the big fight will be completed today and Rickard says he is going to have im- mediate possession of it. The contrac- tors, however, declare they will not relinquish until July 3. Builders fear the men who drew the plans, for the big battling place may put up signs advertising they erected it and get these advertisements into the moving pictures.
 Frank GOtch Arrives.
 Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of the world, arrived last night. Gotch freely predicted victory for Jeffries. ''He looks the best I have ever seen,' said Gotch. "I cannot begin to say how much his better appearance is than it was when I left him at the end of our theatrical tour. And it was good then. This work in the mountains has done wonders for him. Why, he is trained and his muscles are like iron. Will he win?' that's a useless question. Of course he will win. I should say somewhere between the fifteenth and twentieth round. He will knock Johnson out.
 "You may be certain of this: The fight won't go over twenty rounds and Jeffries will carry of the big end oi the purse"
 Negro Quit All Work.
 Everything is calm at Johnson's camp. The negro has ceased all work with the exception of walking His entire camp says he is fit, aud last night the champions helpers gave substantial proof of their sheer ity by placing $5,OOO with betting com. missioner to be placed on Johnson at the prevailing odds.

CRIME WAS DONE
 IN DAYLIGHT
Baby Abducted While at Play After Father Had Refused to Submit to BlackmailChild Stolen for Pur.
 pose of Revenge by Enemies.

New York City, July 2.-One of the most startling and pathetic incidents among the many nefarious acts of the Black Hand Society was the abduction of little 3-year-old Michael Scimeca from his home at No. 2. Prince street The father is a physician and both Dr.. Scimeca and his wife are we'll known throughout the Italian district.
 The Kidnapping of little Michael took place in board daylight while he was playing with some friends on the third floor of his home. It followed ser- ies of threatening Black Hand So- ciety letters received by Dr. Scimeca during the last three years. Both the father and mother are prostrated with grief.
 The missing child was playing in the hallway in front of the Scimeca apartments, directly above Dr. Scim- eca's office, with Vito Bagano, three years old, when man approached lit- tie Michael and asked the child if he cared to accompany him to store and get some candy. The child embraced the opportunity eagerly, and. taking Michael by the hand, the stranger led him down the stairway, past the door leading to Dr. Scimeca's office, where he was attending to some patients, and out into Prince street. The Bagano boy followed them to the street and saw them disappear northward in Elizabeth street.
 After waiting several minutes fol the return of Michael the Bagano boy entered the ofice of Dr. Scimeca and informed him of the occurrence. Dr.

RENO IS NOW
 ONLY WAITING
Continued From Page One.)

Corbett,s it was announced today that about $15,O00 was placed on Jeffries yesterday at 10 to 1-2. With two exceptions the amounts were under $2,000. Jim Corbett has $5,O00 at his brothers place to bet on Jeffries. A New York man has left $10,000. Both wagers are to be placed at the prevailing odds.
 But betting commissioners expect larger amounts of money will be plac- ed today and tomorrow.
 They explain that the crowd here is composed in major part of men who have business in Reno and have not come to wager any large amounts of money The arrival of special trains between now and Monday will boost the betting they believe. Tex Rick ards final announcement that he would positively referee the fight, al- so probably will cause money to loos- en up.
  folks are holding off their money un- til the remaining $51,000 of the purse is placed in Big Tim" Sullivans hands. This is to be done some time today, according to the arrangement that was effected between the promot- CTS and Sullivan here last night. Profits Will Be e1OO,000. Rickard has recovered from all the nervousness he may have felt over the financial outcome of the battle He now believes the profits from the battle alone will amount to $100,000
 T expect the receipts to be about $250,0oO," he said, "our expenses have been little less than $160,000. w should clear about $100,000.
 Seat sales here since the pasteboard' were brought up from San Francisco by Jack Gleason have been highl. pleasing to the promoter. All th' $50 and $1O seats are going. Th' higher priced seats sold quickly or account of their good location and ; large part of them were reserved be- fore the sale opened here. Man. bought the-$10 seats because the, were elevated and spectators who holt them will get the benefit of the breeze ! if one is blowing on the day of the battle.

THERE'S TOO MUCH
 MOLLYCODDLING

Detroit July 1.-"Prize fighters are mollycoddled too much in training said Field H. Yost, Michigan Univer- sity's coach, yesterday.
 Trainers try to keep them clear skinned and have horrible dread of allowing them to be marked up in too strenuous practice bouts.
 ''Those fellows should be put through some of the bruising work that we give Michigan football players every fall. The football players gets lot of pounding and smashing but he emerges from it all in perfect shape. A man needs to be bumped and knocked and thoroughly shaker up if he is to be put to severe tes' of strength.
 ''Jeffrias and Johnson are wrong they think they can do their best with out this bruising sort of training.
