few minutes OF the struggle which
was simply case of defense for Win
slow The full and half Nelson holds
we're useless to Gotch as Wlnslow was
exceedingly clever at breaking and
eluding that particular hold. The first
struggle lasted for twenty minutes
and twenty-six seconds and at the end
of that time, Winslow accidentally
made fatal move which enabled
Gotch to secure peculiar hold which
could not be broken and as a result,
the first fall was given to Gotch
The second go was much better
than the first in many respects. For
twenty-three minutes and twelve sec
onds, the men battled on the mat with
no advantage apparently for either.
This go was much in favor Of Win
slow at times when he chose to take
the offensive. Only at one time, how.
ever, was Gotch in danger of being
pinned to the mat. This was rather
late in the contest when Winslow Sc
cured the hold which later on proved
fatal for himself. For few seconds
things looked blue for Champion
Gotch, but by dexterous twist, freed
himself from the slow but sure hold
which had been secured on him. The
toe hold was a favorite one in this
match, but only once was Winslow
able to secure it. Finally, on being
urged by his second, Young Gotch
went at his man like demon and in
few seconds, secured hold which
pulled Winslow across his body In
such manner that little by little and
slowly but surely, his shoulders ap-
preached the mat on the other side
of Gotch's body. This lasted only
about two minutes and then the ref
cree slapped Gotch on the back, which
means that he has secured fall.
After the contest had been decid
ed in favor of Gotch, who still re-
tains his title, 1t was announced by
the man who promoted this match in
Mt. Vernon, that on July 4th, 5th and
9Th, number of great events will be
held Columbus Driving park. Events
such as autombile racing, in which
Barney Oldfeld will take part, and
aeroplane races in which the famous
Wright Brothers will take part. Last
ly of all the great events, there will
be wrestling matches, one of which
will be for the middle weight cham

SWINDLED
We're Many Ohio People By
Steamer agent"
Sold Tickets On A LiEe That
Was Mythical
columbus Dlspatch)

Enforcement by Auditor OF state
Fullington of the law requiring steam
ship agents to give bond to the
state, led to the discovery that the
Blue Star Line, or the tranco.Nord
Americaine, advertised TO ply between
New York City and France, and which
has agents in various states selling
tickets at the unusually low rate of
$50 for round trips between these
points, is myth, and that 1t does not
own a single steamer.
Scores of Ohio people purchased
tickets, but the man who sold them
was an innocent dupe of the company,
and will refund every cent paid him
for these tickets.
Auditor Fullington noticed by an ad-
vertisement that Professor Claude
Michelon of Toledo, who has estab-
lished schools in various cities of the
state, Columbus included, for teach
ing the French language, was selling
tickets for transatlantic trips over
the so-called Blue Star Line. He ad-
vised him that the law required him to
file $4,000 bond with the state as a
guarantee of protection to the pur-
chasers.
| Professor Michelon wrote Auditor
Fullington that he was not in the
business professionally, but that he
was simply getting up trips by which
his fellow countrymen and others in
his schools could go to Paris and back
at low rate. Auditor Fullington
suggested that he look into the stand
ing of the company and write to the
auditor of New York which has a
bonding law similar to Ohio's, and
see If the company had given the ne
that the company had not done this.
Professor Michelon became suspi-
cious and he made hasty trip to New
York to have an understanding. The
blue Line" people were conspicuous
by their absence, and he got no sat
isfaction. He did find out, however,
that the company had none of the pal
atial steamers advertised, and, in
fact, that if it owned single boat no
one ever knew anything about it.
The elaborate circulars issued by
the company gave the sailing dates of
some half dozen or more vessels with
high sounding names, and the first
boat was to leave in February. The
beauty of the scheme was that the
tickets could be used anytime within
two years and on any boat. Professor
Michelon concluded the whole bust
ness was fraud and he filed informa
ton against the company with United
States District Attorney Wise in New
York, who is now making an investi
cation.
J Professor Michelon is now reimburs
ing those to whom he sold tickets
Auditor of State Fullington says his
course has been honorable all the
way through and that he was drawn
into the scheme without realizing Its
real nature. He sola $4,000 worth Of
tickets in Ohio, Columbus people be
Ing among the purchasers.

MASTER
Production Was The Lecture
OF Dir. Dixon
At High School Auditorium
Tuesday Night
Is An Orator OF Exceedingly
High Order
And Handled His Subject
With Great Ability
Next Entertainment Is The
chicago GIGe Club

The lecture at the high school aud
itorium Tuesday evening by Frank
Dixon was without question a master
production. In opening, the speaker
stated that he was the younger broth
er of men who are nation famous as
orators and authors, DR.. A. G. Dixon,
a Baptist clergyman of Chicago and
Mr.. Frank Dixon of New York City,
author of Leopard Spots, and that for
this reason he wanted to make plain
that he is only humble citizen. How
ever, before the close of the address
the audience was convinced that they
were listening to scholar and orator
of great ability. Physically, while ov-
er six feet tall, he has had to use
crutches since two years of age, but
in spite of which his independence
and determination he has well cared
for himself and in this way has prov
en- all that he said in his lecture rel
ative to individuality.
The topic discussed was "The Man
Against the Masses" In opening the
speaker explained the difference be-
tween socialism and anarchy and urg-
ed that but few people realize the diff
ference. Other than a brief statement
setting forth that the anarchist is a
man who defies all law and regula-
ton of society, and that for this rea-
son is very dangerous the burden of
the discussion was relative to social
ism.
He referred to the following three
forms of socialism:
1.-The socialist who insists upon
referring all matters of private and
public interest to law, urging govern
ment ownership and control of all af-
fairs. He stated that the greatest
harm to this form of socialism is that
1t robs a man Of his personality and
his individuality and throws the con-
troll of the business interests into the
hands of few men who are in turn
liable to u,e the same for private
gain. 2.-Dr. Dixon referred to the
socialist gwho by the m 81 6
of great fortunes comes into control
manufacturer Of his rightto do bust.
robbing the individual merchant and
couragement for the present Ameri'
mess independently. This is scarcely
ever thought of as being socialism,
but 1t is and OF the very worst form
3.-The lecturer spoke vigorously
against that phase of socialism which
claims that the world owes every man
q living and that If man chooses not
to work he deserves to be fed and
clothed. The real difficulty here, as
in all other forms of socialism, Is tc
relieve the individual of personal re
sponsibility toward life.
Though the language and oratory
was of very high order and DR.. Dix
on can truthfully be called a silver
tongued orator, who is optimistic o.
life and the conditions of men ever
in the face of bad conditions and dis
couraging circumstances. The tribute
paid the American workngman, the fl
nanciers and business man and the
statesman was splendid and the listen
ers were left with the telling of en-
couragement for the present American
can citizenship.
The next and final number on tn,
lecture course will be the Chicago
Glee club, on next Tuesday, April 8

GOTCH
ietS The Decision Over Wins
low In This City
And Retains Middle Weight
Championship
A Most Interesting Wrestling
Match Pulled Off
At The Park Theatre On
Tuesday Evening
PreliminarieS Held Before
The Big Match

The first step in the introduction of
athletic sports in Mt Vernon was
taken Tuesday when the wrestling
tournament was held in the Park aud
itorium. Heretofore, Mt. Vernon has
never supported an event of this kind
and as result, the general public
was not enough interested to be in
attendance on Tuesday night.
About two hundred and fifty were
present when the first preliminary
was announced between John Frye Of
Mt. Vernon and Butch" Walters of
Newark. This event was naturally
rather tame as the men were inexper-
fenced and had to rely on nothing but
strength in order to secure a fall.
The first fall was secured by Walters
after few minutes and was secured
on no particular hold. The second
fall was awarded Frye who picked up
his man and by superior strength,
slammed Walters to the mat with
such force that he was crushed fiat on
his shoulders. The last fall was the
tamest Of all, Frye being "all in" and
by toe hold, Walters easily secured
the final fall and the decision.
The next match was real wrestl-
ing match, although in science, Mi
cheaux was badly handicapped. The
men started in like champions and for
a few seconds they appeared to be
very evenly matched in all ways.
Soon, however, science began to tell
and at the end of three minutes, An
derson secured the first fall on per-
feet toe hold. The second fall was
awarded Micheaux who by superior
strength of body, threw his man over
his shoulder and alighting him square
of the bout, Anderson used torturing
tactics and with the aid of his skill
and experience, actually wore his man
out, but even then he could not Sc
cure fall. Micheaux gave up after
taking ten minutes severe punish
ment. The Mt. Vernon boy is a COM
er says Lou Winslow of Bucyrus and
all that he needs Is training and
skill. He Is built like Hercules, but
his legs are not properly developed for
wrestler. This, however, could be
remedied In short time by the prop
er exercise and training.
Next came the big event of the
evening, the contest for the middle
weight championship of Ohio. Win
slow came In on the mat first and was
given hearty round of applause. His
general appearance was that of man
of great strength and agility but this
was soon to be proven. Shortly after
Young Gotch climbed through the
ropes onto the mat and he, like Win
slow, was given ample applause when
introduced to the fans as the middle
weight champion of Ohio. Shortly af
terward, the word was given by Ref
cree Henry, Newark, and the bout wat
on. The men parried and feinted fol
few seconds and then went at 1t II
earnest, Gotch taking the offensive
Many excellent holds were secured
and broken by both men In the frs

BADGER RIFLEMEN ACTIVE.
Wisconsin National Guard Plans to
Compete in Both Matches.

AppIeton-There will be a double
inspiration for rifemen of the Wis
cOnsin National Guard to work next
spring, according to Lieut.. George
Huntzicker, coach of the Wisconsin
team in the national match. The
state will be represented by two teams
next year, one in the national match,
another in the department contest.
The department Of the lakes in
cludes Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee. In the
big match this year Wisconsin was
third among the state guards, Michi-
gan fifth and Ohio seventh. 1t is be-
lieved the Badgers can pick a second
team which can head the department.
While plans are not fully matured,
it is presumed the high fifteen will
constitute the state team to shoot in
the national match, while the next
fifteen will go to the department con-
test.
Material changes will be found at
Camp Douglas next year. Lieut. Hunt.
ticker says that there will be enough
new targets on range No. 3 to permit
all of the preliminary firing being
done in one day. Heretofore it has
taken two days. This will allow com
petition being taken up on Tuesday
while all, not in the rife class, will
have one more day for drill
