 Kaufman was slow. He continually tried to shove Flynn away and make a long range battle of the affair.
 During two rounds, the first and the fifth. the Californian got che Kind ot battling he wanted, but then he found that his left jabs and right swings were not strong enough to affect his slugging opponent.
 The result was never in doubt after the second round. Angry because Kaufman had carried away the honors in the first round, Flynn rushed in at the tap of the gong in the second and before the round was a minute old, Kaufman was groggy from 8 right swing to the jaw.

Twice during the tenth round Kaufman was knock ed through the ropes. Once perpIexed Danny Shay. the referee. helped Kaufman back into the ring after the fighter had lain helpless for eight sec onds.
 Kaufman was out for fully i've min utes as'er Flynn had been declared the winner

ANTITRUST BILL
 PASSED THE HOUSE
SENATOR WILLIAMS EXEMPT HARVESTER IMPLEMENTS
 FROM JEFF DAVIS BILL
Passage of the Bill is Signal Victory for Senator From This District
 and for Farmers of the State.

The house of representatives yes terday afternoon passed the Hamp Williams amendment to the Jeff Davis antitrust bill, which in it's purpose exempts all farming and harvester i'm plements from the provisions of anti trust Legislation.
 The harvester and implement in |dustry of the country is largely in the hands of the trusts. and under the terms of the antitrust laws now in vogue. had withdrawn from thee state. or else handled their wares only in roundabout manner which in- creased their prices materially be- fore they reached the hands of the farmer.
 Senator Williams believed that the farmers of Arkansas could not afford to do without harvester implement, |nor could they afford to pay extreme prices, just because Arkansas passed a law to drive them from the state, and appreciating the disadvantage the farmers of this state encountered un- der the law. set about to amend it. The senate passed the bill readily, but in the house it had many oppon- Ienfs. and it was not without hard | fight that 1t was finally put through lthe lower legislative body. It is be lieved ;he governor will sign the bill
 as it is wholly in the interest of the farmers of the state.

 Railroad traffic continues demorai- ized. A train arriving today from the north brought story of hold-u by 800 rebels at Lulu. a station 90 miles south of Saltillo. The rebels searched the train. but did not molest the pas |sengers. From the express car they took some thousands of pesos, how ever. The rebels then held the pas |senger train until the arrival of a fre.sht train. The box cars of the freight were loaded with rubber and this was unloaded, and the rebels, with their horses. got into the box cars. The crew of the freight was then told not to board the passenger train, which was permitted to pro ceed.
 It developed later that the rebels had their own train crew and even telegraph operators. They said they were going north on bridge burning expedition.

 Ortie E. McManigal, alleged to have made the confession duplicating the 'McNamaras- was not arraigned, and is not expected to make any appearance tin court until the trial begins. The day for the McNamara brothers to plead was fixed for June l.
 Accused with the brothers in the indictments were William Caplan. all legged to have eben an assistant of James B. McNamara in the explosion. and four others, one woman. who
 were masked by the names of John Doe" Richard Roe,' John Stiles" and 'Uane Doe"
 The accusation was followed by a
 list of the scores of witnesses exam ined by the grand jurors in the weeks following the Times disaster, and
 with the late addition of Ortie Me Manigal, the alleged confessed dyna- hitter, who appeared before the in quisitorial body only yesterday. The district attorney said he would consent to the pleas being made June n. Ford then read the other eighteen indictments, one of which charges

 Rappaport declared that John J.
 McNamara had been taken from his home on the strength of those indict-
 ments, and if they were to be used against the men the latter had a right to be arraigned soon.
 Fredericks said the old indictments
 would not be used between the date lof arraignment and the time to plead. Rappaport contended that there was at least one bailable charge-that ac-
 cusingN John J. McNamara of placing explosives at the Llewellyn Iron Works--and asked the court to fix

 The district attorney replied that as McNamara also was indicted for murder, it was useless to bring up the matter. Counsel for the defense Informed the court he would not press the point at this time but intimated he would do SO later.
 It was finally agreed that the court, lthe prosecuting attorrey and counsel
 for the prisoners would confer over the matter next Tuesday morning.

eoRED BY BULL.
Injuries to Andrew kinssbury Of North
Coventry Prove Fatal.

Andrew lSingsbury of North Coven-
try was attached Saturday morning by
a vicious bull while at work on his
farm and was terribly gored. He was
taken to the Hartford hospital, where
he died at o'clock Saturday evening.
Mr.. KingSbury owned two bulls which
he had trained to work in a yoke like
a pair of oxen, and it was one of these
which killed him. He was alone at
the time, but it was evident that he
had put the yoke on one of the ami
mails when the other attacked him. A
farmland who was at work nearby
came to his assistance and dragged
him out of the barnyard. Dr. l. p
Fiske was called, and a little later DR..
e. P. Flint of Rockville was sent for
and they caused his removal to the
Hartford hospital
His right thigh was torn open and
several arteries were severed. Two ribs
on his right side were broken, his right
shoulder was dislocated and a scalp
wound extended from his right eve
over his head to a point back of his
ear.
Mr. Kdngsbury was a native of Rock
Vile, born April 8, 1919. the son of
ErastuS and Hannah Kinsbury. He
was educated in the common and pri-
vate schools of Coventry, and taught
school for a time, though most of his
life was spent on a farb. May rs, 1880,
he married Mary Laura Hughes, who
survives him with two children, John
e. and Hannah E., both residing at
home.
Mr.. Kingsbury was a republican in
politics. He served in the general as
semibly in 1895 and 1907 and was house
chairman of the committee on agricul-
Iure during the last session. He was

HOSPITAL DEBT
Reduced to $3,ooo-Note to Be Issued
: for That<Amount, so That All Bills
Can BE Paid

D. o
Monday morning the directors of St.
Joseph's hospital held a meeting and
voted to issue a note for $1,000 to pay
off the floating Indebtedness of the in
stitution, which at present is caused
by accounts owed to various mer-
chants for different supplies. 1t was
deemed best TO borrow the money, If
possible, and pay all outstanding bills,
some time, and thus have all the in
some time, an thus have all the in
gradually be reduced from time to
time when there is little money on
hand. The executive committee had
discussed the plan a number Of times,
but 1t was not possible to carry it out
until the present.
A year ago last January the floating
Indebtedness was approximately &c.,
600, but by careful and judicious man
aeement and with the help OF the pub
hc in patronizing, various entertain
ments and carniva1s the sum has been
reduced until at present it is about
$4,000. BY borrowing this sum ON a
promissory note all outstanding bills
against the institution can be paid and
the institution placed upon better
financial basis.
The plan met with the unanimous
approval of the board of directors, and
the necessary money will be Borrowed
as soon as possible after the required
pa pers are made out All the bills OF
the institution will then be paid. It is
the plan OF the directors to pay off the
note gradually, and they hope before
another year has elapsed to have the
note all paid up and the institution alb
solutoiy free from debt

some Of his nearest friends had doubts
on that point. George D. Prentice, who

Of Mr. Clay, remained there, and be-
came Clay worshipper, said, after all
was over. that Mr.. Clay would proba-
bly, have failed in the White house He
knew the hero, and something about
the presidency, and could appraise the
difficulties Mr.. Clay as chief executive
would have encountered. The great
Kentuckian's fame is probably the
higher for his having missed the high
est goal.
Mr.. Webster suffered deep disap-
pointment because the presidency
proved beyond his reach. And yet,

probation Of him, question whether he
would have met the requirements of
