CHARLEY GRIFFIN
 CAN SWIM 4 BIT
From Bonds Dock to Wash
 ington Bridge In Record
 Time and Hungry at that

Australian Charley Griffin, who with Harry Nathan looks after the train- ing of Bill Lang, the heavyweight Antipodean who is to meet Kaufman at Philadelphia on Labor Day, is not only one of the best boxers in the featherweight division but he excels in other forms of athletics. Saturday following his preparation of Lang for his bout with "Jabber' Carey, his new sparring partner, Griffin made a wager that he would breast the waters of the Housatonic from the training quarters toi Washington bridge.
 Some one accepted the wager, and accompanied by a pacemaker and a boat with two occupants, Charley made the swim in record time. His only kick was that the exercise gave him a voracious appetite, which he appeased upon his return When John Bond heard Charley renewing his order for portions at supper he decided he would get in touch with Hugh Mcintosh and inform him that he never knew that Griffin had a tape worm or he would have charged him extra for the worm. The way that Griffin ate after return ing from the swim almost depleted the well stocked Harder in the Bond house. hold.
 Bill Lang is getting into great shape for his go with Kaufman, and the chances are that this time he will be allowed to show his mettle.

JAPAN SWALLOWS
 UP COREA TODAY
Special from United Press) )


 Tokio, Aug. 29.-After an existence of more than six hundred years, the Corean kingdom today was swallow ed up by Japan. The formal pro- mitigation of the treaty of annexa- ton took place today, though the terms of the treaty were published several days ago.
 By the annexation Japan gains a prize that has been practically with in her grasp since her successful war with Russia. Her area is increased lation by approximately by 13,000,- 900.
 Despaeches from. Seoul, the Corean capital, say the formal annexation has occasioned no disturbance which is probably due to the extensive pre- parations made by Japan to insure order in the Hermit Kingdom.
 China renounced her claim on Corea by the treaty of Shimonoseki Corea became predominant. In Feb ruary, 1904, the Japanese-Corean agreement was signed at Seoul whereby Japan undertook to insure the safety of the Corean Imperial household and guaranteed the terri torial integrity of the country. Since that time it has been evident that annexation would eventually take place.
 A strong military force will have to be maintained for several years in Corea, it is believed, to hold in check the younger part of the population which has always opposed annexation and has resorted to numerous assas- sinations in the last few years ot Japanese officials and Coreans who appeared friendly to Japan.

 The mischievouS youngster was found wandering through the home of Thomas E. Carroll, 1090 State street, yesterday afternoon. No one had in vited him in, and for a while the in- mates were considerably alarmed over the youths strange conduct.
 But when the police saw Eddie. they were not at all disconcerted. He has been accustomed to take bicycles from the curb or from yards, ride them sev- eral blocks and tken abandon them so often that his name is a by-word in police headquarters. But the police say he is not inclined to viciousness. Several times he has been brought in- to police headquarters. where warnings have been wuittent out for him at length.
 Eddie was delighted at the prospect of going to the Deep River institution preferring that he said to the Deaf and Dumb institute at Hartford, where he had made material progress in his studies when he returned home for his summer vacation.
