GOTCH STILL WORLDS BEST
WRESTLING CHAMPION fLOPS
POLISH GIANT WITH EASE.
Humboldt Farmer Gains the First Fall
in Dizzy Time of Six and One
Fourth Seconds.

Chicago, Ill, June Prank Gotch
retained his title as heavyweight
wrestling champion of the world, win
ming in straight falls from Stanislaus
Zbyszko, of Poland, before 10000 peo-
pie, at the Coliseum. The first fall
went to the Humboldt strong man in
six and one-fourth seconds, with bar
arm and half Nelson. He took the
second with a bar arm and wrist lock
in 27:36, after a desperately fought
bout in which honors were even for
twenty minutes.
1t was a case of brute strength and
some rudimentary knowledge of the
finer points of wrestling against the
best efforts of real champion, sci
enced to the extreme-powerful, con-
fident, and on the aggressive most of
the time Gotch out-generaled, and
out-classed his ponderous foe in the
first bout which was over in a jiffy.
The second bout developed into CRU
elling, slam-bang affair from the out
set with Gotch, rendered doubly conf
dent by his first triumph, master at
every turn.
The mat giants closed for purse
of $4,000, the bulk of which will go
to Gotch. Little betting was reported.
Ferocity Feature.
Both men were geared for desper-
ate contest and the big crowd was
treated to a battle royal introducing
both men in the roles of demons. Fer
ocity marked every minute of the mill
ing. Gotch sprung surprise on the
crowd by casting aside his far famed
toe lock to make deadly use of other
branches of the game. He was on top
of the Pole in twenty of the twenty
seven minutes during which the sec
ond tussle lasted.
In his dressing room after the match
Gotch took a solemn oath forever to
quit the mat game.
Its my last battle as a champion -
said the big Iowan, in husky tones, as
he rolled over on the rubbing board.
Il am through for good and Leo Par
dello has taken my tights. Never
again for Frank. I'm going home to
lead the simple life, raise cattle and
corn, and to forget my troubles"

establishing new rate in this city
The commission after an investigation
has placed the tentative valuation at
$963,0S6, but to this the company
hopes to have added sufficient to bring
the total physical valuation up to
81, 100000.
The city officials without doubt will
oppose an increase in rates here, call
Ing the attention of the commission to
a peculiar situation in this city which
brings the physical valuation of the

the city the electricity, gas and heat
A number Of years ago the Edison and
Brush Electric Companies and the La
Crosse Gas Company were merged A

Company was organized, but was alb

pany has two electric plants on its
hands, either of which, it is alleged
would be sufficient to do the work.
In addition, it is pointed out by al
dermen opposing increased rates, that
the company has lately signed con
tract with the La Crosse Water Pow

customers in La Crosse, and making
it practically unnecessary to maintain

The present rate for electric cur

proposed to seek a material increase
in this figure.

RICH FIGHT SENATOR.
Crownhart Says La FoIlette's Foes Are
Among Members OF System"

La Crosse.-"It's men against mon
ey."
That is the way Charles H. Crown
hart, of Superior, manager of Senator
La Follette's campaign in Wisconsin,
sums up the political battle which
soon will be sweeping Wisconsin and
which is considered by La Follette's
friends and foes as perhaps the most
critical period Of his career Crown
hart was in La Crosse to confer with
Senator Thomas Morris and other
progressives, and he said La Toilette
need not fear for the outcome of the
struggle.
1T is not the voters who are to be
feared" said Crownhart, "for the
sentiment in Wisconsin is with La Fol
lette. 1t is the corrupting influence of
the money power, which will be hurled
against the senator in his life fight
for political reforms The system
which must suffer, if these reforms
come about, realize La Toilette is one
OF their strongest advocates, and, if
money can stop him, then he will be
stopped. In the past campaigns La
Toilette has attracted the fire of enc
mics in Wisconsin. Now the fight is
national matter, and from the strong
holds of the system will come the
money and brains to be turned against
him"

TO VOTE FOR RAILROAD BILL
AS 1T STANDS, PROGRESSiVES
ARE SATISFIED.
Lowan's Amendment Placing Burden
of Proof on Ry Co.'s
Adopted.

Washington, June lon the eve of
leaving for his home in Iowa for the
purpose of participating in the cam
| paign in that sta.e, Senator Cummins
informed the senate that as amended
the railroad bill would receive his
vote, as it would also the votes of the
progressive Republican senators who
have stood with him in opposition to
the bill as it was prepared by the at
torney general and introduced by Sen
ator Elkins in behalf of the admins
tration.
The statement was made in the
shape of brief speech delivered by
himself in support on an amendment
placing upon railroad companies the
burden of proof in hearings on rate in
creases. This amendment was accept
ed by Senator Elkins and became a
part of the bill by general consent,
thus constituting the only amendment
presented by the Iowa senator which
has been accepted by the senate.
In his speech Mr.. Cummins said
that while the bill left much to be
desired, be considered it a step for
ward in railroad legislation. He en-.
umerated the various provisions of the
measure and said that with the excep.
ton of the court of commerce sections
he considered it in every way desir.
able legislation. He felicitated him
self and his associates especially upon
the expurgation of sections and IL
dealing with traffic agreements and
mergers. The first of these he char
acterized as a reproach and the sec
ond as a curiosity. He closed with
the following statement:
1--WE have been as free to commend
what we thought to be right as we
have been to denounce what we be.
lieved to be wrong"
Merger Amendment Rejected.
Aside from the adoption of the
Cummins provision, the action of the
day consisted in the rejection of Sen
ator Browns amendment, prohibiting
the consolidation of competitive rail
roads. This amendment went out in
an adverse vote of 20 to Al.
The principal discussion of the day
was over the Brown amendment and
Senator La Follette's amendment re-
curing the interstate commerce com
mission to make physical valuation
of the railroads.
Previous to the vote on the Brown
provision, speeches were made in op
position to it by Senators Bailey
Hepburn, Nelson, Hughes and Clay.
Mr.. Bailey based his opposition on
the ground that the regulation of con
solidation should be left largely to the
states. Mr.. Hepburn on the ground
that the subject was covered by the
antitrust law and Mr.. Nelson, Hughes
and Clay on the fear that if the sub
iect of consolidation was revived, ad
vantage might be taken to the fact tC
replace many of the Objectionable fea
| lures of sections to IL in the bill
Mr.. La Toilette formally presented
his physical valuation amendments
which he supported in a lengthy
speech. He said that such valuation
was absolutely necessary as a basis
for the fixing of rates. The amend
ment, he said, met the approval OF
the interstate commerce commission
and he predicted that if defeated ii
would not be long until the railroads
would be petitioning for it's enact
ment into law.

London, June Theodore Roose
veft was presented with the freedom
of the city of London and he accepted
the honor with a liberalism that led
him into a frankness of speech that
created a sensation in old Guild hall.
AS the former head of a country
that once paid tribute to Great Britain
the American statesman gave the
motherland some bold advice as tO
her duty toward her most troublesome
dependency in Africa.
Roosevelt said it was either right or
not right for Great Britain to be in
Egypt and establish order there.
If it was not right she should get
out, he declared. Roosevelt eulogized
British rule in Uganda and the Sudan
He also declared that Great Britain
had given Egypt the best government
the country had had in 1000 years,
but in certain vital points it had erred.
Timidity and senimentality, he said,
might cause more harm than violence
and injustice.
"Sentimentality," he added, sis the
most broken reed upon which right,
eousness can lean"
Roosevelt denounced the Nationalist
party of Egypt as neither DESTROYS nor
capable of guaran: eeing primary jus
tice. It was trying to bring murder
GUS chaos upon the land, he said.
Some nation, said the former presi.
dent, must govern Egypt. He hoped
and believed that the English would
decide that the duty was theirs.
Sends Thrill Through His Hearers.
AS a whole the speech constituted
the most forcible expression on foreign
topics that the distinguished visitor
has made during his European tour.
He dealt principally with the British
policy in Egypt which is one of the
most discussed of Great Britain's CO.
lonial questions. His outspoken views
sent thrill through the 1000 auditors
which is likely to be felt outside the
walls of the ancient council hall.
Guild hall has been the scene of
