II Abe Attell is not In perfect condi-
tion when he meets Pal Moore at the
Fairmont Athletic Club, New York,

due to lack of sparring partners.
When Attell opened his training camp
at Johnson's road house, 1t looked like
veritable beehive Of clever boxers
He brought Danny Goodman with him.
but at any time Goodman needs a rest,
Attell will have Jimmy Carroll or Lew
Powell to box with. The most signl-
fcant thing about the approaching
battle is that for the first time in his
ring career, Attell talks seriously
about the prowess of an opponent. He
has seen Moore in action and knows
that he is a dangerous lad.
Joe Choynsh has joined the ranks
Of the fighter actors and will spend

Choynsh made his first appearance at
Davenport, Iowa, last night and

who aspires to take UP the white

covered" by Jim Corbett and Choynski
who train him between shows.
New York sports to-day hailed Lew

who can come back" in the same
fight in which he is apparently whip

Young Otto, a local pugilist, at the
Olympic A. c., Powell was licked to
frazzle" in the first six rounds.
Powell came back" in the seventh
and won out in the last three rounds
by sheer courage and aggressiveness.
Otto started out like a winner, but
lost heart when he saw his antagonist
standing up after the fierce onslaught
of the first six rounds. He had tired
himself out and the rest of the fight
was easily Powell's.

Wrecked Submarine Yields Last Mes
sage From Commander.
Victoria, B. c., May 9.--While Com
mander Sakuma and his Ia men were
lying In a wrecked submarine of Kure
on April Is, the commander wrote a
letter to the emperor begging forgive
ness for loss Of the vessel and COM
mending his officers and men. The
letter was found after the submarine
had been raised.
The submarine was Of the newest
type, and was engaged on April 16 near
Hiroshima bay, carrying out her part
In the maneuvers, being submerged L.
500 yards east Of her parent ship. Two
hours passed without notice Of the sub
marines failure 10 rise and then, sig
nails being unanswered, a boat was low
cred and efforts made to locate the
submarine.
Much of the letter was not publish
ed, but IL is stated that Lieutenant
Sakuma expressed sorrow TO the en-
peror for the loss Of his vessel and
brother officers and crew, whom he
praised for their heroism ard calm
wait for death, and he requested the
emperor TO succor their families. The
last writing was made an hour and 20
minutes after the boat was submerged,
and conveyed messages Of farewell to
the minister Of the navy and friends,
stating that breathing had become 90
difficult that further writing as i'm
possible. d.
The letter said one Of the crew had
tried 10 close tho valve Of the ventila-
tion pipe, but the chain had broken.
He tried 10 close the valve with his
hand, but was too late. Water began
To- enter by the rear part Of the boat,
which fell 25 degrees. The dynamo
was submerged and all the lights
went out, bad gas sccumulating al
most simultaneously. The crew drove
the current Of water from the main
tank and tried 70 get rid Of II by hand
pumps. They were drenched as they
worked and chilled. The message end
ed with statements that all were ready
for death. The submarine was being
tested on a gasoline semi-submerged
voyage.

San Jose, Costa Rica, May THE
earthquake that laid waste the town
of Cartago occurred at $50 O'Clock
Wednesday night and continued about
Is seconds. In that brief time the
buildings Of the place collapsed, bury
| ing hundreds. The dead were first es-
timated at 500, but It is believed to-
night that the fatalities were much
greater.
Four hundred bodies were recovered
today.
Following lthe shock twilight was
turned into darkness Of midnight by
clouds Of dust that rose from the
ruins. Panic ensued and the cries Of
the injured and fleeing Survivors filled
the air.
Cooler heads went to the telegraph
Office to summon help, only to find the
operators dead, lines down and traffic
impaired on.the reailroad.
As soon as the news reached San
Jose, President Gonzales vicques, &C
companied by President-elect Richard
Jiminez andd many doctors and nurses,
started on a special train TO aid the
survivors. Upon the presidents ar
rival at Cartago, martial law was pro-

clothing were dispatched from here.
Throughout the day special trains ar
rived here, bringing the wounded.
Hundreds Of survivors we're camped
outside the ruined city awaiting trans
portation TO other points. They are
being fed at public expense. Seven
carloads Of provisions have been dis
patched from here and Alsjuela.
The beautiful peace palace, the gift
Of Andrew Carnegie, erected at cost
of 500, 900, was converted into q pile
Of debris. Other public buildings met
the same fate.
Many students at the college Of the
Silestan Fathers were killed.
The tremors continue tonight and the
terror Of the people increases. The
fear Of further shocks has extended "a
the neighboring towns.
Only the early hour Of the evening
at which the disaster occurred pre-
vented a much greater loss Of life. Al
the timc many people were In the open.
SO far no deaths have been reported
among the American colony.
The disaster was not preceded by
any activity Of the volcano Poaz or Of
other volcanic vents. The shock was
felt throughout Costa Rica and In parts
Of Nicaragua. Great hssures opened
at many places In the volcanic zone.
The ministers Of Mexico and Of Cen.
tral American countries have asked
their governments 10 contribute TO the
aid Of their sister republic. Several
prominent Spanish-Americans are
among the dead. These include the

Saving Over Flat Rate.

Salem--Beginning June I, the state
Of Oregon will buy electricity for all
state institutions by meter instead OF
on fat rate an at present, which, II
Ia believed will mean saving TO the
state Of from SO, 900 to $1,000. As an
experiment about a year ago meters
were installed and as n result the
change will be made at once.
During II months. beginning June
I, 1909, and ending April 30, 1910, the
state paid the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company. si2, ,o4s.3l at a
fiat rate for lights which would have
been ut meter rates 80, ,s3s.05. or a
saving Of $2,2i0.26. No effort was
made 10 conserve the power for lights
under the fiat rate, while every super
intendent Of the state institutions un-
der the meter system will be instructed
not TO burn lights not absolutely need
cd, 80 Governor Benson and the new
chief clerk, II. II. Corey. believe the
saving will reach nearly 5000 a year.
The state also pays $i23 per month,
fiat for power otherwise than that util-
ICED for lights. or during the II months
mentioned total Of Si,3b3. Under
the meter rates the bill for power
would have been. for the same period.
