GREEN AND BERG TO
STAGE AVIA7IO MEET

Charles X. Hamilton. the only
aviator in the country who is max
ing regular flights at this time, will
be seen at the Interstate fair
grounds April l, 2 and 3 in his ia
nous eight-cylinder Curtis biplane
in exhibitions and races against
horses, motor cycles and autOmo-
biles.
Harry Green and Lou Berg have
signed up with Nat Reiss, Hamil-
tons manager and syndicate repre-
sentative, and the fair association,
putting up substantial guarantee
to secure the affair.
The meet is scheduled for the
first three days in April, but this
may be extended until the 9th, ac-
cording to the contracts, in the
event that bad weather compels q
postponement.
The daily royalty on the biplane
is $1,000, and when it comes to pay
ing the expenses of the Is or 20 men
who are carried around with the
aviator, it is understood why a
guarantee of several thousand dol
lars is demanded before Hamilton
and his assistants appear for
action.
The conflict in dates between
Hamilton and Walter Donnelly al
most resulted in Reiss' withdrawal
FROM the field yesterday. but Green
and Berg decided to handle the
affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, March H.
If Louis Blot, Jim Griffin and Jim
Coffroth carry out their present
programs, San Francisco and vicin-
ity will be the scene of the greatest
fight carnival in history, greater by
far than the carnival held in New
Orleans in September, 1892, when
John Il. Sullivan lost the champion
ship to Jim COrbett and George
Dixon and Jack McAuliffe success
fully defended their respective
titles of featherweight and light
weight champions of the world
against Jack Sicily and Billy
Myers.
Blot, falling into line with Crit
fins dream of grabbing off big
hunk of money from the thousands
of visitors who will be here to see
Jeffries and Johnson, figures on
using his June permit for a fight
between ketchel and Papke on the
18th of that month. This would be
for the middleweight champion
ship, but it seems that there is a
disappointment in store for Blot.
Ketchel has announced that he is
not going to engage in any long
distance bouts for some months
and apparently he is going to ad-

On the 23rd he meets Klaus in a

S.A.A.C. SQUAD
IN PORTLAND

The s. A. A. G. boxing and
wrestling squad left last night for
Portland, where the local quartet
hooks up with the Multnomah
grapplers and mitt artists in the
final inter-club smoker of the sea-
son.
Both Bullivant and Creel, wrest-
ling and boxing instructors, res
pectively, are confident that the
local lads will cop at least three
and probably four of the events
from the Portlanders. Brechin and
Gesek, the grapplers, are conceded
an even half of the card, with
Hughes fighting it out with Nc
Carl, and O'Rourke with Cassidy,
for the boxing bouts.

.LANGF0RD AN
EASY WINNER

JEFFRIES ARENA, VERNON,
Cal. March 1S.-ln one of the most
vicious contests ever witnessed in
Los Angeles Sam Langford
knocked out Jim Flynn in the
eighth round of what was to have
been a 45-round contest yesterday
afternoon. A right uppercut to the
jaw was the blow that finished
Flynn. His face was badly beaten
up and his jaw was broken. He
tried to rise. but was counted out
while on his knees. After the
fight Langford smiled at Flynn and
in reply to a remark said:
Don't let me kill you"
1t was apparent that the Boston
demon would win from the very
first round and it was only a ques-
ton of how many rounds the
fighting fireman would last.
In the fifth round Flynn showed
at his best his boring in tactics,
but even in this round he seemed
to be weak.

jim BROWN RESIGNS;
GOES TO VANCOUVER

James w. Brown, secretary OF
the Spokane Baseball club, has re-
signed his position with the Indians
and leaves Sunday for Vancouver,
where he will cast his lot with Bob
Brown and the Beavers.
Although Jim has been in Spo-
kane only a year, he has a large
number of friends here and re-
grets to leave, but, as someone re-
marked this morning, "Brotherly
love and the call of the coin proved
too strong a combination for Spo-
kane" so the popular secretary will
take his place once more as the
right hand man of Brother Bob.
Chief Joe Coin states that he
will paddle the canoe alone for a
time. appointing a secretary when
the labOrs of owner-manager-sec
tary become too arduous for one
pair of shoulders.

Two Missionaries Shot

Pittsburg, April 1O.-A sermon on
martyrdom, in which Frank Skala,
an editor and mission worker, had
declared himself willing to lay
down his life for the Christian
cause, was followed today by his
assassination and the shooting also
of a fellow church leader, John
Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congrega-
tional Church in Woods Run, a
suburb, at the head OF more than
a hundred foreigners. A raggedly
dressed and collarless man wendell
his way through the crowd and
when he was only a step behind
the leaders he placed a revolver
against Skala's head and fired
twice. The bullets took effect in
the Jaw and temple, and, in the
midst Of his followers, Skala fell
dead. Gay, who threw up his right
hand as IL to ward off the weapon,
was struck first in the thumb and
then a second bullet was buried in
his head. He fell unconscious
across the lifeless body OF his
colleague.
For several moments the assassin
stood over the fallen men in a
crazed contemplation of the deed,
flourishing his revolver, while the
panic stricken crowd fled to shell
ter behind posts and doorways.
The mailman was Jan Radowitch,
a character known to most Of the
mission for his shiftless habits,
slovenly dress and radical opin-
ion. A moment before he had
meekly read from Juvenile Leaf
let's in the Sunday school led by
Skala. Previously he had sat in
a back pew of the church during
the regular sermon, and at the
commencement of the services Ska
la had shaken his hand in greet
ing. In all this Radowitch had
given no warning of his murderous
intent.

Paralyzed Stops Train

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 1O.-Al-
though almost completely para
lyzed, Fred G.. Daniels, an engineer
on the Lehigh Valley railroad last
night managed to save passenger
train No. 2 which he was running
from colliding with the rear end
OF a freight train.
The train was near Max well,
when leaning out of his cab win
dow Daniels saw the rear lights of
a freight. At the same time a
bolt dropped from the engine
struck the driving rod and was

and drove him backward. His
neck struck with great force
against the brake lever and he fell
to the floor helpless.
Despite the blow, however, he
reached for the lever as he fell and
in some n threw 1t into a
notch which set the safety brakes
and the train stopped a few yards
from the rear cad OF the freight.
When the fireman reached Daniels
he was helpless, unable to move
and is now (but little better.

Cowpeas as a Green Manure
Crop

Cowpeas belong to the family OF
plants known as the legumes which
have the power of taking nitrogen
from the air by means OF the bac-
terra which live on their roots.
They are not only able to secure
nitrogen for their own growth in
this way, but where the soil is low
in this element of plant food, they
store up nitrogen there for the
crop that follows. 1t has been de-
termined experimentally that two
thirds of the nitrogen OF the en-
tire cowpea plant is found in the
leaves and stems and one third in
the roots. Hence when a crop OF
cowpeas are turned under three
times as much nitrogen will be put
into the soil as IL the crop had
been removed.
The humus content of the soil is
the sourc of nitrogen for all Of
the non-leguminous plants such as
corn, oats, wheat, timothy etc., and
in many soils that have been farm
ed for a long time this is the con-
trolling factor OF the crop. Turn
ing under cowpeas adds humus to
the soil. Humus in decaying not
only sets free nitrogen for the
plant but the organic acids from
it sets free and makes available
phosphorus and potassium, the
other two important elements of
fertility.
At the Experiment Station at
Columbia a'crop of cowpeas sown
after wheat and turned under be-
fore sowing again in the fall hsA,
for an average for the last six
years increased the yield five bus
hels per acre. Plots given similar
treatment on five of the Stations
soil experimental fields in various
parts of the state increased the
yield of wheat in 1908 from SO to
14.4 bushels per acre, an increase of
49, bushels or fifty per cent.
1t should be noted in this con-
~nection that where a green manure
crop or heavy dressing of barn
yard manure is turned the soil
should be thoroughly worked
down and compacted before seed
ing. Otherwise the soil will dry
out readily and the wheat likely
be winter killed.
