New York, Dec. z0.-"Kid" Mccoy
has married again. This time is the
eighth. Mrs. Valentine Helm is the
Nice. France. where the happy cou-
pie" now are in villa on that pleas
ant hillside and Monte Carlo a COM
Portable drive beyond.
Kid McCoy's real name is Norman
Selby. Under that name they were
married in an undetermined place in
France. The father of Mrs. Helm left
the Hotel Arisonia either to meet them
or to exercise what is called the ski
hosh." Evidently he was too late.
Friends of Mrs. Helm yesterday de-
clared the ceremony already had been
performed. w. S. Valentine, the ia
Their, had objected on the ground OF
the pugilist's numerous previous mat
rimonial experiences.
Mrs. Helm, now Mrs. Selby, is a
blue-eyed blonde. Back of her attach
ment to the kid" is what Is called
romance. She married Helm in 1902.
They separated In 1909. There came
an evening at Rector's when Mrs. Helm
in the presence of her husband, bowed
to the pugilist as if she had known
him before. Helm left the table. On
returning the kid" was there In his
place. He was looking at my wife,"
he testified in court later, while the
band was playing Love Me With Your
Eyes"
McCoys other wives have been Mrs.
Edward c. Ellis (nee Lillian Earle),
Indianola Arnold, Mrs. Julia Crassel-
man (three times divorced and three
times remarked to hirn), Lottie Pie

WRESTLING MATCH
Went TO A DRAW

Harvey, N. D., Dec. 20.--Last night
in the operahouse was pulled off the
wrestling match between Esl5il Olson
of Fargo, and John Elidas, the "Greek
wonder" from Kansas City, for the
lightweight championship of North
Dakota, at present held by Mr.. Olson.
The first fall was won by the Greek
in fifty-six minutes by a scissors hold,
and the second was won by Olson in
twenty eight minutes by toe hold.
In view of the light house in attend
ance, the referee, G. F. Maitland,
claiming that the boys had worked
hard enough, and no objection being
made, declared it draw.
The match was for the gate receipts
and was a fast one from start to fin
ish, some remarkably clever work be-
ing displayed by both men, who were
very evenly matched. While the house
was light one, due to former fakes,
those present were all enthusiastic
over the merit straight work done by
both men, and another match will
shortly be arranged between them,
probably under the auspices of the
athletic association just formed, when
a big house will sure be in attendance.

Boston, Dec. 2O.--The Boston Ma
tional league baseball club passed
officially into new hands yesterday.
During the coming season James e.
Gaffney of New York and John NJ
Ward, the famous pitcher of the New
York team 90 years ago. win direct
its affairs.
The reorganization was effected
through the purchase by Gaffney and
Ward of the stock Of the late Will
liam Hepburn Russell. Mr.. Ward was
elected president of the club and Mr.
Gaffney treasurer. Todd Russell, son
of the late president, and Fred j.
Murphy of this city were included
among the directors.
President Ward said after the meet
ing that an effort will be made at
once to secure larger grounds, but
that there would be few changes in
the club, as he believed that it had
good material.

CHRISTMAS GOODS
we're DESTROYED

Hannaford Enterprise: Friday eve
ming fire was discovered in the ware
house in the rear part OF Broten's
store in Walum and had already
gained so much Roadway that it was
impossible to extinguish it with the
means at hand. Effort was chiefly d.
rected towards saving part y the
stock, but only a very little as
saved in this way, part Of 1t being
damaged to some extent and part lost.
The neighboring buildings were
threatened but so many people were
at hand that they were able to pre-
vent the fire from spreading. That
there was practically no wind that
evening was favorable circumstance.
The property was insured, but never
theless the loss to Mr.. Brotsn Is
heavy, as he not only lost his p ID
erty, but also at the time WHOM the
holiday trade was about to COM
mence. The fire originated in the part
Of the building where the matches
were stored, but just how they were
ignited is not known.

SECOND GAME OF
hockey LEAGUE
THE soPHoMoREs DEFEATED
THE FRESHMEN BY A SCORE
OF TO o-GAME FAST AND
sNAPPY-TWo MORE GAMES
TO BE PLAYED BEFORE XMAS.

The sophomores defeated the fresh
men by a score of 2 to 0 in the sec
ond hockey game of the series yes
terday afternoon. The game showed
an Improvement over that of the pre-
ceding day in both interest and speed.
This was due largely to the fact
that the outside rule was not enforced
except at the ends of the rink. That
the popularity Of hockey is growing
was evidenced by the attendance at
the game,
The game was closely contested all
the way. Neither team scored dur
ing the first half or most of the Sec
ond. With four minutes left to play,
Captain Melchior of the sophomores
raised the puck between the posts for
the first score of the game. He fol-
lowed this with another shot min
ute later and cinched the game for
his team.
Johnson of the freshmen and Mel
chior and Kurtzman of the sopho-
mores played the best games. The
team work was good on both sides.
From the showing Of the boys so far,
some excellent contests will result as
they become more familiar with the
game.
Two more games will be played be-
fore the Christmas vacation. The
seniors will meet the freshl$--1 on
Thursday and the junior sophomore
game will be pulled off on Friday.
The teams are planning on some fast
practice during the holidays in prep
aration for the remaining games, for
the schedule will be resumed with
the opening of school.

HOFFMAN FOR
ST. PAUL TEAM

According to a report from Indian
apolis Jimmy Burke, manager of the
Indians, has peddled Danny Hoffman,
the former st. Louis Brown to Mike
Kelley, st. Pauls heady club leader.
Although George E. Lennon, owner OF
the st. Paul club, knows nothing of
the deal and is taking little stock in
the story, Burke has informed the fans
of Indianapolis through the papers that
he has indeed sold Danny and has re-
ceived the cash for the outfielder.
Manager Kelley and Mrs. Kelley are
visiting Mr.. Kelley's parents outside
of Boston and the big manager, ii he
has closed a deal for Hoffman, has
not seen fit to inform his own fans of
the purchase. The report of the Mike
O'Toole purchase was another surprise
sprung on Mr.. Lennon.

While the commission recognizes the
full effect of water competition upon
the rail rates it says: 1--WE have the
frank admission of the railroad man
ayers that they have subsidized or
bought some of the steamship lines and
terrorized others until they can make
the boast that the effect of the sea has
been neutralized.
"A railroad policy of rate making
must certainly be subject to limita-
tons OF the law, or else there is no
law. To say that there is a long and
short-haul section under which a car
rter may not charge more for the short
err than for the longer haul, but that
the railroads may, to any extent they
please carry out policy of blanketing
the country for the benefit of the
farther points and not the nearer
points, is to say that a railroad may,
without restraint, effect a ruinous dis
elimination and give no justification
save its own determination or within.
There can be no regulation of rates as
to discrimination or preference under
such an Interpretation of the law
"The commerce court intimates that
the mistake of the commission is in
having attempted to fix a relation of
rates instead of establishing reason
able rates; but, as we have already
pointed out there Is no way In which
the discrimination found to exist in
these tariffs can be prevented except
by fixing differentiaI, since we have
no power to establish an absolute rate
or fix minimum charge below which
the carrier is not free to go.
I'VE feel strongly that water com-
petition, even when the widest reason.
able latitude is given to the effect of
market competition, cannot by any pos
sibility Justify q higher rate from
Omaha to Reno than from Omaha to
San francisco; from st. Paul to Spo-
kane than from st. Paul to Seattle.
Upon the other hand, 1t should be
noted that the opening of the Panama
canal may so add to the intensity of
this water competition as to call for
some modification Of the conclusion
now reached
The commission holds the fixing OF
reasonable rates to be a legislative
function, not subject to review by the
courts. Congress. it is maintained,
has delegated that power to the COM
mission, and the intimation is clear
that the courts, in the opinion of the
commission has no power to review
such rates as may have been estab

law. the interstate commerce commits
sion, directed. by order, that a relation
OF rates should be established between
the Pacific coast and points of origin
In nve zones, into which the United
States was divided.
The effect Of the order was to reduce
rates to inter- Rocky mountain cities
and prevent the railroads from exact
ing from shippers the Pacific coast
rate plus the local rates from Pacific
coast terminals to the intermediate
points. The orders Of the commission.
on application of the trans continental
carriers were enjoined by the COM
merce court and the matter has been
carried, on appeal to the United States
supreme court,
In its report to congress today the
commission declares that ct is a waste
OF transportation and therefore I'M
economical and wrong to maintain a
system Of tariffs which are expressly
intended to develop the Pacific coast
cities and to arrest the development
OF the interior points.
1T is possible to disassociate the
intermediate from the long distance
point. Whether the intermediate rate
IL reasonable depends upon what rate
is made to other points on both sides
of it. and to permit the railroads of
this country to select points where
they will, and where they win not
compete would be into1erable."
In discussing the effect Of water
competition upon rates the commits
sion says that 1t cannot fix a rate
from New York to San Francisco be-
low which the rail line shall not go,
for it has no authority to fix a mini
mum rate. There is. therefore, no way
in which it can prevent discrimina-
ton by the fixing of an absolute rate
at san Francisco and another abso-
lutte rate at Reno. 1t can only accom-
plish this purpose by prescribing the
difference which may properly exist
owing to the effect of this competition
and allowing the carrier to make what
ever rate it sees fit to the more dis
tant point so long as it observes this
differential.'
The report indicates the desire OF
shippers from points in the interior
OF the country to obtain the same
rates to the Pacific coast that are ac-
corded by the railroads to their COM
petitors on the Atlantic seaboard. The
rates are made the same by the trans
continental lines on the ground OF
market competition.
ITO justify their rates from coast to
coast" says the report, ''the railroads
advance water competition, and to
justify the same rates from interior
points to Pacific coast points they rely
on market competition, under which
they give lower rates from all the In
terror cities two-thirds OF the way
across the continent to the same coast
cities than to inter mountain points.
This is the kind of discrimination the
commission has attempted to mini
mize.
