BATTLING NELSON FIGHTS IN
 HIS SLEEP.

Grantland Rice. the baseball and football expert, writes on Nerve and the Game" in The American Maga> zine for September. Nelson, he says, is an example of physical nerve:
 Tn the spring and summer of 1904 Nelson, starting for the lightweight goal, had cleared from his pathway Martin Canole and Eddie Hanlon, two of the hardest men of his day to beat. On September 5, 1904, he entered the ring with Aurelio Herrera, the hard hitting Mexican with punch or heavyweight caliber. Tn the fourth round of that fight at Butte, Montana , reminises Nelson, I received the hardest smash of my ring career-and I suppose that in my day I have about received my share. In this round Herrera caught me on the point of the jaw with a full, clean swing. When I landed it was upon the back of my head-eight feet away. And when recovered complete conscious ness again we were fighting the sev- enteenth round. All that I remem- bered in this time was to keep on coming back. I don't remember an- other blow struck nor what else hap pened. l simply kept saying to my self, Keep on after him-keep on ar
 ter him'-until my head cleared i'll the seventeenth chapter And in the twentieth got the decision, although for over ten rounds he had had noth
 ing but a punching bag before him.

BANKS FIGHTS FOR SMALLER TAX
 ON RAILROAD
Special from United Press.)


 Hartford, Aug. 22-A long drawn out debate was occasioned in the House, today, by favorable report on an act concerning taxation of railroad companies. The report proposed to re- lieve the New Haven system from paying tax on it's trolley roads.
 Representative Ensign. of Simsbury, offered an amendment to submit the whole matter to a special commission which would report to the next Gen. eral Assembly.
 During the debate, Representative Banks made an attack upon the farmer members of the House.
 ''The vicious attacks upon corpora tions," said Mir. Banks, ''are beginning to show signs of bringing on a finan- cial depression. The attacks are the work of demagogues, just as in the case of the support of the workmen' 8 compensation act in this House"
 Representative Bingham, of Nauga- tuck, said that, when the Connecticut trolley) Company, was taken over by the New Haven (steam1 road, the lat ter watered the stock with a new s15,- coo 900 issue.
 MT. Banks replied that the water has since been drawn out by the prop critics developed.
 that the State was getting the short end'' of the railroad tax problem at the present time.
 The Ensign amendment for a com mission was passed by a large major ity.

In 1886 was born in Japan an under sized, monkey-faced boy of good but
 poor pareftage. who at the ags of thirteen resolved to make himself the chief power in the distracted king dom. For 200 years the militant ba- rons had warred against each other, each trying to grab, annex and hold what he could.
 The boy, Hideyoshi, deliberately vis- ited the different courts, picked out the baron he thought most endowed with suitable character. succeeded with great difficulty in entering his ser- vice in the hum blest position,and them steadily and inevitably rose, firstly because he could read human charae~ ter and always knew almost as soon as they did themselves what his and his lords enemies were plotting. ana secondly because he was always pre- pared in advance for any undertak- ing and skilled in carrying out. Thus, when scarcely more than q child. he reduced the cost of frewood used in the palace to less. than one-ha1f; a little later he rebuilt the castle walls in three days, a task estimated as re- quiring sixty days; still later. single handed, he secured provinces that ar- mics had failed to conquer

Spooning Couple From Bridgeport
 Start Bad Riot
Followed by Crowd, Con- stable Interferes and Gets
 Hit with Blackjack

Walnut Beach. Aug. 23-A young Bridgeport couple. spooning along the shaded Independence road, between early yesterday morning unconscious ly started big fight in which a score
 of persons participated. After the battle cloud had cleared it was found that Consta ble Mortimer Fowler had been badly beaten up by the young man whom he had attempted to ar rest, and Deputy Sheriff James M. Maher had sustained numerous bruis- es about the face and body. One man was held in the clutches of the law to answer for the outrage, but his name could not be learned last even ing.
 FREE FOR ALL FIGHT RESULTS.
 The rumpus was the talk of the town all day. It appeared from gen. eral report that the Bridgeport man and woman were walking along the road and did not seem to pay much attention to appearances. The conse- quence was that a crowd of about twenty young men trailed along be- hind to take in the show. Sheriff Maher and Constable Fowler who pa trol the beaches every night, got wind of the filtration and decided to break it up. Someone from the crowd start ed trouble and almost immediately a free for-all fight was in progress, with the troublesome spooners forgot ten.
 Sheriff Maher succeeded in getting the bracelets on one man, and his fel- low officer had another fighter by the arm. Suddenly the prisoner broke away from Fowler and pulled a black jack from his coat it was said In his attempt to regain the prisoner Constable Fowler received a crack on the head from the blackjack and was rendered unconscious. The assailant escaped into the crowd and owing to the confusion was not recaptured. Sheriff Maher had all he could do to attend to his own man, and was un- able to pursue the assailant of the constable.
 BOTH MIDDLEBURY MEN.
 Sheriff Maher succeeded in landing his man in the Milford lookup, and a few moments later a special session of the court was convened and Judge Roger Baldwin released the accused in S25 bonds for his appearance in court the next morning. Later the bond was increased to $100 It was later reported that both the assailants were Middlebury men.
 The condition of Constable Fowler was reported last evening as better. Sheriff Maher made a tour Of all the cottages along the shore yesterday, but was unable to locate the fugitive, and it was thought that perhaps he had returned home. The Milford au- thorities refused to. give out any names last night.

Judge Afraid
 Jury Would Be
 Surely Affected
So Mother of Bellboy, Charged With Murder,
 Has to Sit Apart from Her Son in the Courtroom
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, Aug. 23.-When the trial of Paul Geidel, the bellboy &C., cused of murdering aged William H. Jackson in the fashionable Hotel Iro- quois, was resumed, today, the terror stricken lad was forced to face the ordeal without the aid of his mother, whose presence had kept him from breaking down for two days.
 When the jury was completed, last night-and the mother had the last say in the selection of each of the lz Judge Crane told counsel for the defense that he could not permit the mother to stay by the boys side. He said it was bound to have an effect on the jury which could not be per mitted. Consequently, today, the mother sat in the rear of the court room from her son.
 Young Geidel was in somewhat better shape, today, although his eyes were badly inflamed with crying. It is planned by his lawyers to put him on the stand in his own defense. By order of the judge, all spectators were barred from the courtroom because of the testimony which is expected to develop.
 A. C. Eschew, photographer, identified photographs of the Jackson suite and Architect Dolsking, of Brooklyn, identified plans of the floor. Dr. Frank Jackson and the coroner proved the corpus delicti and paved the way for the introduction of the confessicn alleged to have been made by the accused to the police.

 For ShopIiftine
Especial from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Hartford, Aug. 23-After local de- partment stores had identified stolen property found in the prisoners pen William Patrick, alias Welch, and Vio- let Harris. both dope fends and sus- pected by the police of being forgers and clever shoplifters, were held for trial, Friday, after a police court hear ing, today. The couple were arrested yesterday. after being watched for several weeks. Opium lay-outs were conspicuous in the varied effects of the couple, also considerable new mems and women's clothing which the police say is stolen property.
 Both prisoners say they have no homes. Torn letters and postals pieced together by the police disclosed that Patricks mother, is Mrs. M. A. Welch. of South street, Danbury. He had sent her $5 according to one letter. Evidence was found in the couples room that they practiced initiating signatures and making out check and note forms.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.

The best plant in the world, the best philosophy of efficiency, will in them selves make no better com b1natlOn than a good automobile on network of perfect roads, with nobody to han dle the starting and steering wheel
 The most picturesque figure in all rail- roading is the locomotive engineer. In vain. back in the thirties, did mas terful conductor on what is now part of the Erie system thrash a dlsope- dient engineer into subJectlon ana thus for all time in America establish the conductors supremacy, suprem- acy neither recognized nor existing in Europe: in vain do civil engineers lm- prove roadbeds, tracks, bridges and terminals: in vain do builders make marvellous locomotives and more mar vicious cars; in vain do general man agers make schedules, do train des- natchers issue orders signal men turn switches: in vain do giants of finance combine roads into systems and sys- tems into aggregations; trains could not run without the engineer Tn the cab. the man who slows up when the COW fingers on the track, who stops or smashes through according to his own instantaneous resolve when the bandit has piled Instructions on the track who senses the signals rather than sees them in the stormy night, who. an hour behind at the start, runs into the terminal on time. After all the elaborate rules and regulations have been drafted, tried out revised, and promulgated, there is inserted for the benefit of the engineer saving clause absolving him from literal ob- servance of any rule: 'When in doubt pursue the safe course" If runa- way engine were overtaking his train, if a bridge were sinking beneath him into a swollen river, the engineer would run past any red light or block signal: and it is because of the ulti- mate supreme necessity of relying on the man, not on the machine, that railroad men are reluctant to substi- tute automatic train stoppers for the brain of the engineer. Other officials can doze at their posts, but the engin- ger must be awake and on his job ev- cry second of the time.-Harringt
