Tim HARRINGTON TO MEET
JAP IN WRESTLING MATCH
Seattle Sports Think the Cornish
Style Wrestler Can Beat
Jiu Jitsu.
IS A FORMER CALUMET MAN

Efforts are being made to match Tim
Harrington. the Butte Cornish wrest-
Ter, who is well known i'm this section
with Professor Ito, japanese Jiu
Jitsu expert, who has been throwing
all opponents of the atch-as-catch-
can style with ease. 1t is believed
that the bout will be held in Seattle
shortly.
Here is what the Seattle Times says
OF the event:
Since Prof. Ito the sturdy little
Japanese exponent of ju jitsu, has
Topped three white man here so cas-
lily. a number of fellows i'm town are
scratching their heads trying to think
of some white man who can beat him.
| There has been talk of bringing Char
ley Olson or Farmer Burns out here.
Both of these men are high class
wrestlers, but 1t is not at all certain
that even a champion catch-as-catch-
can grappler of anything near the
same weight as Ito can beat the Jap
at jiu jitsu.
Men who have watched Ito choke
white men into submission have about
come 10 the conclusion that a wrestler
Of the Cornish style would stand bet
ter chance against him than a catch
as catch can grappler Burns, or OIL
son, or any of n half-dozen others that
might be named would make short
work Of Ito il he would take off his
I l., l,n q, t.. nj of no
jiu jitsu game, and the most important
part, too so n white man must be
accustomed to the use of the jacket in
order to have a chance with Ito.
In the Cornish style of wrestling
the men wear canvas jackets not un-
like the jiu jitsu jackets. and experts
i'm that style know a lot of tricks about
grabbing an opponent by the jacket
and heaving him over his head. They
are also good at working their hands
up the sleeves of the jacket until
they tighten the cloth around an OPP
ponents neck. something as Ito does
in jlujitsu, so 1t is altogether likely
that a good Cornish wrestler would
make much better showing against
Ito than a catch-as- catch-can man.
In Butte there are n number OF
good Cornish style wrestlers. Tim
Harrington, is champion of that Sec
ton. Tim is n small man. yet he
jstood Frank Gotch on his head, wrest- |
ling in Cornish style. or course. he !
stood no show with the champion |
catch as catch-can. Tim is no longer |
young fellow. but would like to
tackle such husky opponent as Ito !
There are a number of younger men |
over there who are good at Cornish |
wrestling. and letter has been sent |
to Butte suggesting that one of them |
can get mans sized contract by |
coming here to down Professor Ito.
Ito has won all his matches so cas-
lily that there has been no chance to |
see how he would act when the battle |
was hard contested. If n really high !
class Cornish wrestler could be Undue
er To tackle Ito n match worth going |
to soc would result.

that when all OF them have been re-
ceived, they are To be forwarded To the
New York Liberty immigration society,
which will present them To congress,
along with bundles of other petitions
which are being taken all over the
country.

The Italians feel that the measure will

proposed bill killed.
Congress i'm the meantime has set
aside the Hayes bill without action, and
has appointed an immigration investi-
eating committee, which will bring in
"A report later on. Following this re-
port, ii is expected the Hayes bill will
come up for consideration.
1t has been learned recently that a
somewhat similar bill was before con-

small majority of II. However. ii is

The Italian population i'm the upper

knowledge that many more Italians

Charges AIdrich With Desire to
Shield Trusts in High Cost of
Food Inquiry.
MAY BECOME AN "lNSURGENT"
ff He Is Not Accorded Better Treat.
n,cnt and His Wishes Not Given
Respectful Consideration.

washington. Feb. 3.-Senator EikIns
to-day made bitter complaint in the SEN
ate concerning treatment he received in
connection with his resolution provid-
ing for an Investigation into the high
cost OF food. He charged Senator AID
rich with a desire TO shield the tariff
law and the trusts in the inquiry. and
ne intImated that hereafter he might
be an 'insurgent" if his wishes did not
receive more respectful consideration.
The discussion was preclpitated by
Senator Stone, who. soon after the re-
porting of the Lodge resolution to in
vestigote the cost of living, In mock
solemnity raised tho question whether
the committee on contingent expenses
had yet reported the EllSins resolution,
which had been introduced early last
month Responding. Mr.. Kean said
that probably the measure would bc
amended and reported soon
Taking the floor. Mr.. Elkins COM
plained that the finance committee had
reported the Lodge resolution after a
days consideration, whereas his own
measure had been held up by the con-
tlngent committee for q month. Mr..
Elkins coniended that many important
features Of his measure had been
omitted from the Lodge resolution. and
asserted that the latter had been so
framed as to avoid any inquiry into the
effect Of the tariff on food prices
why do you want TO dodge the
tariff" he asked. and added: IT am
tariff man myself. and / am not afraid
10 face the question In connection with
this investigation"
y He then referred to the participation
OF Chairman Aldrich OF the finance
committee In preparation of the tariff
bill, and said Mr.. Aldrich was quick to
act In anything affecting his child

west Virginia senator was still unsatis-
ned and declared the measure as re-
ported mere method OF sidetrackine

mad been so manipulated as to cause II

At this Juncture Mr.. Bailey suggest
ed TO Mr.. Elkins that II he desired to

should get on that committee.
Il suppose So responded Mr. Elkins
never have gotten anything out of
that committee except In the considera-
tion OF the talrff, when / got few
droppings by begging for them and by
voting for everything else that they
suggested"
When Mr.. Bailey further suggested
that to become effective, Mr Elkins
should become an ''insurgent," the
west Virginian Jokingly responded that
no might do so.
II couldn't do 1t while the tariff bill
was pending. but now have more wa
ter to swim in-more sea room"
MT A1drich replied that the Lodge
resolution was much broader than Mr.
Elkins had represented.
Let's see" responded Mr Elkins, III
1t is, Where is there anything in 1t
about trusts and monopolies7 Are they
to be investigated as to their effect on
food prices? Let's see who is nursing
them"
NTr- Aldrich replied that he had no
desire to dodge full inquiry or to pro-
tect any interests.
Reintroducing his resolution with a
request that 1t be referred to the
finance committee, Mr Elkins said: so

stayed on the reservation. But l don't
