SAYS AMERICANS
EXCEL BRITISH
OWEN MORAN ADMITS THEY ARE
MOST EXPERT FIGHTERS
BELIEVES HE is AN
ACCIDENT.

owen Moran, the British fighter who
defeated Battling Nelson, declares that
American fighters are the best in the
world. He said:
Il am an accident. ! have learned a
whole lot about the fight game since
coming 10 America and my fight with
Nelson was worth all my previous ring
experience In addition to this l have
watched many other matches here and
for cleverness one must hand ii 10 the
Yankees, as you say over here The
English fighters are just as game as
the Americans, but they lack the
speed and general ring cleverness.
Battling Nelson gave me a hard
battle and he was fighting every inch
of the way to the very last. Anyone
who thinks Nelson Is out of the run
ming is grandly mistaken He has a
lot of fight left in him. / am looking
forward with great pleasure 10 my
event with Ad Wolgast, WHOM / do not
consider in the same class with Nell
son.
Il will take home with me a grand
impression Of the fairness of the Am
erican sporting public. You know over
in England there are many who think
a real sportsman can't be found out
side the British isles, but l want to
say that the American public has
treated me finely and nobody can ever
tell me again that there is anything
but squareness in the attitude of peo-
pie over here towards sports Ameri-
cans lose hard. but they cheerfully
give credit to the best man."

REFUSE TO MEET
THE HARDY TURK
MAHMOUT is PRACTICALLY OS.
TRACKED BY HEAVYWEIGHT
WRESTLERS. CAN'T SCORE
MATCHES.

Chicago, Feb. 4 There is nothing
complex or complicated in this heavy
weight wrestling situation, although
to read some of the stories printed
about affairs among the big fellows
one becomes distracted and delirious.
Summed up the whole thing is this:
There are three leading contenders
for chance at Frank Gotch's title
George Hackenschmidt Yussif Nah
mout and Stanislaus Zbyszko.
Gotch has said that he wished
series of elimination trials these three
men to decide which is the best at this
time, he to get the chance at Gotch for
the title
Hackenschmidt and Zbyszko dissent
from this arrangement For purely
personal reasons, mainly reasons Of
their managers, they decline to have
aught to do with Mahmout because of
the latter's connections with Antoine
! Pierri, who they say, has been an
extremely bad actor" both here and
in Europe. circulating stories that re-
That is the nub of the whole thing.
The Lion" and the Pole decline abso-
lutely to "see" Mahmout at any stage
of the game.
Thus is Mahmout out i'm the cold and
even the Vaccinations of the so-called
trust" as the Mahmout people are
pleased to refer to the only club that
can get any money are impotent in the
situation. The trust would like to get
Zbyszko to wrestle Mahmout or have
with the Turk, but persuasion is i'm
vain. The two foreigners are a unit
in this matter and that has ended alb
ruptly all negotiations.
Gotch says he does not want to train
for more than one match or else he
would take them on one at a time. He
has erected Mahmout as bulwark.
although on the straight dope the
Turk does not figure as strongly as
either of the others.
Gotch beat the Turk in seventeen
minutes, two falls. while Zbyszko
stuck a matter of thirty-five with the
champion. while Hackenschmidt wasn't
thrown at all to his shoulder blades.
Zbyszko has beaten Mahmout twice,
once in an hours handicap and again
in level match that Pierri now says
wasn't honest.
Naturally the dope now is, or should
be, that the Pole and the Turk take
holds once more and wipe out the stain
of that match, wherever the stain lies.
The Pole won't do it. He says. even If
he felt inclined to, there wouldn't be
any money in il or enough for him to
quit the road shows.
Hackenschmidt says he came to this
country to match with Gotch If the
champion was willing. If he was not
willing the Lion said he would be
on his way to other parts He has
taken. through his manager. Jack
Curley. dignihed stand regarding
Gotch.
When he learned that the champion
had retired he didn't challenge him,
but dropped the whole thing. That's
is concerned. He will meet Gotch, APP
parently or nobody. The result is
there are no big" matches I'm sight
and ut the present writing none like
ly Mahmout does not care 10 go on
the road and hustle" the way Hack"
and the Pole are hustling. and is
grieving silently here without work.

BONES FOUND IN PIECES
Indications That Body Must Have
Been Hacked Up, Then Thrown
in Brush.

Lloyd Carlton and his young wife.
Gena, were taken. to Park Rapids
this morning, where they must an
swer to the charge of having murder
ed j. 0. Nesbit, on his farm in Hub
bard county, and having burned the
body by having placed it in brush
pile, which was later fired.
Carlton and his wife assumed the
same nonchalance when taken from
the county Jail to the Great Northern
depot, this morning, that has char
acterized their appearance, since
they were arrested, last Sunday.
Maintain Their Innocence.
The CARTONS still maintain that thew
know. nothing of the crime, except
that they saw Nesbit leave the house
on the day that he disappeared on
either March % or 20 and that the
first they had heard of the murder
was when they were arrested by
Sheriff Hazen.
It was disclosed at the investiga-
ton made yesterday by the Hubbard
county officers, that the bones
found in the brush pile, are in hum
dreds of small pieces, varying in
length from one to two inches, Civ
ing an appearance of having been
hacked, as did the foot which was
discovered a short distance from the
brush pile, slightly burned.
Mystery Grows Deeper.
Within several feet of the brush
pile which was burned, are three
raspberry bushes, these being slight
ly scorched, indicating that the fire
caused by the burning of the brush
pile was not enough to have cremated
the body of Nesbit. Certain things
indicate that the remnants of the
body were dumped into the brush
heap
The spot in which the bones were
found, can be easily seen from the
house as we'll as from the road which
passes, a few rods from the place on
a slight grade.
Hearing Date to Be Set.
While the date of the preliminary
hearing had not been definitely set,
County Attorney Woody, of Hubbard
County, and Attorney E. e. McDon-
aid, retained by the defense, will
agree on a date tomorrow. Mr..
Woody has been detained by federal
court at Fergus Falls
Carlton and his wife are charged
with murder in the first degree.

PRAISES GORDON AND sAGENG
Mary McFadden, in Woman Suffrage
I Speech, Tells of Legislative Aid.

Miss Mary D. McFadden in an ad-
dress favoring the right of Women to
vote, made at the club women's meet
ing at the High School last night,
pointed to Lieutenant Governor Cor
don and Senator Ole Sageng as cham
pions for the cause. Her talk, filled
with keen thrusts, was in part as fol-
lows:
miss Essie Williams and myself
had the task of trying to interest the
legislature to submit to the male in
telligence of the state the question
of the Minnesota Woman's fitness to
handle the ballot. After campaign
which was as thorough as we could
make it and we were assisted by wo-
men whenever we called upon them,
the Senate decided by one vote that
the intelligence of Minnesota men is
not strong enough to stand the test.
We are willing to make our plea di-
rect and take our chances
"We say in pride that equal stuff
rage is now state issue and every
woman in Minnesota, whether she
knows it or not, is under deep obli-
cation to Lieutenant Governor Cor
don for his sympathy and fair play
and to Senator Sageng who intro
duced the amendment and fought like
trojan for it's success. 49,.
"Today women vote on the same
terms as men in Wyoming, Colorado
Idaho, Utah and Washington. The
legislatures of four more states are
submitting the equal suffrage amend
ment at the next election. These
are Nevada, California, Oregon and
Kansas.
"You know how close we came tC
getting the amendment submitted in
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Women
have school suffrage today in twenty
six of the states and territories and
tax payers suffrage in four states.
"This year, February 2, an election
was held on the question of recalling
the mayor of Seattle. Convincing
evidence had been brought out to
show that the mayor and his chief
of police had farmed out the vice
privileges of the city to syndicate
and had drawn percentage of the
profits from the white slave traffic
$4,000 women voted and that mayor
was recalled.
I ut has been suggested that women
would find jury service embarrassing
I do not think women would shirk
jury service to any greater degree
than that duty is shirked by men to-
day. There are more valid reasons
that the average woman could urge
for being excused from jury duty
than can be advanced by the average
man. From what little know OF
juries, have gathered the impression
that women on jury would not
lower the average intelligence.
'Sex equality has always found adj
vocates among thinkers. Our great
est men have been suffragists Plato
was an advocate of sex equality and
Abraham Lincoln was an outspoken
believer in political equality for men
and women"

MRS. H1GBEE ON CLUB TR1UMPHs
Federation President, incidentally,
Praises Mrs. Morse, of Red Wing.


Modest and indirect defense of Mrs.
Fannie Morse, who as superintendent
of the girls school at Red Wing has
faced bitter opposition and a public
investigation, was the nearest that
Mrs. Higbee, president of Minnesota
Federation of Women's clubs, came to
saying anything about the present.;
scandal at Red Wing in her address:
at the open melting at the High,
School last night. Mrs: Higbee, af
ter reviewing the causes which have
separated women from the spinning
wheel and loom, gave recital of
club women triumphs< in the way of
public reforms in Minnesota.
Mrs. Higbee said in part:
Before talking to you about the
federation, should do our organic
alton great injustice if l did not
thank you for our delightful welcome
today. You have beautiful place
here and you have made us feel at
home. You have given us so much
enjoyment that feel the club hus-
bands must be behind it. I thank
you and l want to congratulate you
upon your beautiful city and upon
the many things which recommend
this place to visiting strangers.
"It would be a surprise to many,
no doubt, to find how much of IL
brary work and of civic improvement
originated in true relation to club
life.
"In 1895, the clubs were formed
into a federation. At that time the
federation consisted Of Is clubs; it
now boasts of 23O with member
ship of nearly 10000. 1t reaches
from the center to the circumference
of the state. Literally so since the
club has been formed at Information
al Falls.
"The first effort of the clubs is
generally toward library work.
Through the efforts of the federation
an appropriation was secured from
the state for a. travelling library. We
now have over 400 of these libraries
and these libraries form a nucleus
successful in this, an art commission
was formed.
"Then, too, it occurred to women
to do something about the forest re-
serves Former President Roosevelt
spoke before that magnificent aud
fence in ST. Paul in high praise of the
work women had done in forest re-
serve.
"Then came the work of separat-
ion of the boys from the girls in the
state training school in Red Wing.
This work extended owed several
sessions of the legislature. / heard
our governor say, before large aud
fence, that, except for the Women's
Federation, that never would have
been done. The school will be COM
pleted at Sank Centre, this month, I
IS y Z
am happy to say, and the girls will
then be removed from Red Wing.
Let us rejoice that that move will
soon take place and that Mrs. Fannie
French Morse has been secured to
take care of the unfortunate girls of
the state.
..We have never appeared before
the legislature without being treated
with the utmost consideration. This
year we were able to secure large
appropriation for the girls school
and the name has been changed, by
the way. to the Minnesota Home
for Girls Is not that q suggestive
name?
