would the above sound for a melO-

Jim COrbett? Well, it is very liable to
happen, and before the year 1910 comes
to a close. Bat has been doing vau-
deville stunts, lecturing to school chill
dren and delivering side talks for the
moving picture shows, and he firmly
believes that he can make good as a
star melodramatic man, playing the
role of the hero and claiming the he

fourth act.

WILSON MAY
Be DROPPED
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
BELIEVED TO BE NEXT ONE
TO GET THE AXE.
TAFT SAID TO BE LOOKING
ABOUT FOR sUccEssoR-DUN-
LAP OF OHIO MAYBE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-(Special.)
That the landing of the axe on For
ester PinchOt will result in shorten
ing the service of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson is quite possible. Pres
ident Taft esteems the venerable sec
cretary highly and has evinced no
disposition to crowd him out, but
there is a feeling among those inter-
ested in the present administration
that if Mr.. Wilson were a younger
man and more vigorous in handling
the affairs of his department, several
ugly complications would have been
avoided The situation in regard to
the pure food law and it's interpre-
tation has never been satisfactory and
the opponents of the present admin
istration are prepared to make capital
out of the suppression of Wiley the
same as they did out of the separation
of CLAWS from the public service and
are now doing over the removal of
Pinchot DR.. Wiley, however, had the
good sense to shut up like a clam
and has given the president and sec
rotary no cause for his removal.
Wilson Is Blamed.
In l1e case the lcClIIlS pie
walls that had Secretary Wilson dis
played the proper degree of firmness
the INSTRUMENTATION which was rife in
the forestry bureau would have been
squelched long ago and most I'M
pleasant and, for the administration,
unfortunate situation would have been
avoided. The eyes of the country are
upon the forestry service and its per-
sonnet and every move will be clos
ly watched. To secure as able man
as PinchOt will be task of some DIFF
ficulty and to suppress the insurrec-
ton in that bureau will require firm
hand 1t is also doubtful if Mr.. Taft
is pleased at being placed in po-
sitiOn where he was compelled to re-
move Mr. Pinchot, which situation
might possibly have been avoided.
Secretary Wilson is now well on
in his 18th year and is probably the
Oldest officer of the government oc-
cupying a responsible position with
the exception of Chief Justice Fuller
and Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme court, whose functions
are not of an executive character. He
also holds the record for continuous
it is reasonable to presume that he
will retire before long of his own ac-
cord.
Taft Wants Change.
It is therefore with an eye to the
future that President Taft is under
stood to be canvassing for his sue
cessor. Ohio, which is not now rep
resented in the cabinet, and which
seeks to be honored, is in the field
with a candidate in the person Of
Renick w. Dunlap, at present state
commissioner of food and agriculture
President Taft seeks man of ex-
ceptional qualifications, one popular
with the farmers, and he is not I'M
mindful of the fact that Ohio, his ma

lightning fast on his feet, but he did
not feint and lead at Jeff to the same
extent he did at Coney Island.
Jeff evidently made up his mind that
the Corbett midsection was the part
at which to direct his attack. He
caught Corbett a fierce right-hander
in the stomach as early as the second
round, and the effects of that punch
remained with Corbett throughout the
bout. AS a matter of fact. whenever
Corbett sent snappy lefts and rights
against Jeffries face he rarely I'M
loaded more than a couple of his tan
talizing punches before Jeff encoun-
tered him solidly on the body.
Actually Outboxed Corbett.
That, in my opinion, was where Jeff
outboxed his man. He kept remark
ably cool in that fight and was guilty
of no waste of effort. He soon had
Corbett alive to the fact that it was
dangerous to stand close and trade
punches and, as a result, Corbett kept
his distance in the majority of the
rounds.
In the seventh round Corbett cir
cled round the ring at a lightning clip

mon for the race in 1912. Mr.. Dun
laps friends who are understood to
have presented the matter to the pres
ident and who Senator Burton.
Charles p. Taft, Arthur w. Vorys and
other republican politicians, say that
he is the man who fills the bill eX-
actly. He is in the prime of life, a
college graduate and successful,
practical farmer, his farm which he
personally conducts, being represented
as a model. His popularity is vouched
for by the fact that he has twice been
elected to his present office and both
times he received the highest vote in
every congressional district, and in
every county except two. His back
ers believe that in the cabinet he
would be a tower of strength to the
Taft administration while the same
cannot be said of Secretary Wilson,
who halls from Iowa.
Two Insurgents in LimeIight.
The latter state is now represented
in the senate by Cummins, the insurg
ent leaer, and Dolliver, who sprung
the Pinchot letter on the senate and
forced his removal by President Taft
When Wilson was at his best Hen
derson was speaker and Allison the
leader of the senate; Hull was chair
man of the committee on military af-
fairs, Hepburn of interstate COM
merce; Lacey of public lands, and
there was another craftsmanship or
two in the delegation. Today, owing
to the deaths of Henderson and ALI
son and internal dissentions in the
state, both senators are counted as
against the administration and in the
house the delegation has but one
Craftsmanship of Importance, that Of
Hulls and one on mileage which is
sinecure.
Ohio Situation Gloomy.
The situation in Ohio is even more
serious 1t has a democratic gov
ernor, who will be candidate for re-
election and a formidable opponent of
President Taft for the presidency If
nominated. It's senators have two
committee chairmanships
and there is a strong chance that
Senator Dick may be succeeded by
a democrat In the house the con-
ditions are worse In 1906 the re-
publicans had 20 representatives from
Ohio, and the democrats one; in 1908.
1910 the republicans have but Is and
the democrats have eight, and the
great state of Ohio has not a single
craftsmanship in the house, not even
one of the numerous sinecures on ex-
penditures or disposition of dOcu-
ments. The political sharps in Ohio
are contrasting Present Taft's SEEM
ing neglect of his own state which is
ascribed to a delicacy lest he might
appear to be unduly favoring it, with
position when he had
three New Workers in his cabinet at
one time. They dope it out that it
is high time he was doing something
for Ohio and as the agricultural port
folio is the only one likely to be va
cant in the near future they want
that one. All of which gives much
color to the report that when Sec
rotary Wilson is ready to lay down
the cares and worries of his great
and complicated department Com
missioner Dunlap stands an excellent
chance of succeeding him.

engaging in record breaking footworx
and he felt that he would get Corbett
before many rounds had passed.
Jeff rested up in the eighth round
and there was a demonstration in favor
of Corbett when the latter took advan-
tage of Jeff's loafing tactics and
raped the big fellow repeatedly with
light blows.
In the ninth round Jeff went after
Corbett in earnest and from that point
on outfooted and outfought him. True
to his purpose of beating Corbett down
with body blows the last two punches
of the contest-a left and right-took
Corbett in the midriff and. as he
writhed from the effect of the smashes,
his principal second, Tommy Ryan,
threw a palm leaf fan into the ring
in acknowledgement of defeat.
1t was said after the fight that
from a standpoint of ringmanship it
was the poorest display Corbett had
ever made On the other hand, it was
argued that Jeff had shown the head
lest and most Workmanlike battle of
long winning series.
There were side arguments as to
whether it was a falling away on Cor
belts part or vast Improvement on
Jeff's that caused Corbett to fail in
sustaining his reputation as the clever
est of American heavyWeights, but on
one point all were agreed-Jeff had
certainly outboXed COrbett.'
