The wrestling match between
A. Beeson and r. Nv. Wolfe, which
was held in the skating rink on
last Saturday evening, was the
best affair of the kind ever pulled
off in this city. and was won by
Beeson. The matches hereto
fore pnlled off here have been
fakes of the rankest kind, but
the one on Saturday night was q
heartrending struggle for su-
premacy from start to finish.
Beeson secured the first fall in
28 IL minutes with a crotch and
half Nelson and the second in 81
minutes with three quarter Mel
son, assisted by a crotch. There
seems to be adiversity of opinion
as to the hold secured in the Sec
ond fall. Both men are amateurs
Of ability. Wolfe showed a supe-
rior knowledge Of the game, but
this was overcome by Beeson's
greater strength and weight.
The next match for this city will
be a week from tomorrow night,
at which time Beeson will meet
Cimmiyotti of Glenn.

Or swiftest of boats that sail
But here's to the bark that brought US
Mid stormy Atlantic gale.
Tho bathed in storms and icebergs
Tho rocked in a storm tossed bay
Three cheers for Crew and Captain
When we at anchor lay.
When the last stormy voyage Is over
And the ships are coming home.
No more to plough the deep water
In foreign land never to roam.
In a calm and sun-Et harbor
Facing the foamins brine
Will watch for the old Sicllial
And crew of the Allan Line.
Then here's to Scotland's Thistle;
And to England's regal Rose;
And here's to the land OF Erin
Where the loyal Shamrock grows.
But the brightest light that shineth
Fer found GA land or sea,
Is shed in far on haven
BY the Goddess of Liberty.

HEBREW Wins IN
ARMY PROMOTION
Frank Bloom ORDERED to fort Leayen.
worth For Final Examination
For Lieutenaney.

Washington, Aug. S.-Private Frank
Bloom, Battery F, third field artil-
lery, at Fort Myer, Va, has been
found qualified to enter the anal COM
petitive examination for promotion to
the grade of second lieutenant.
His commanding officer. Colonel
Garrard, objected to the young mans
a Hebrew He has been ordered to-
proceed to Fort LesvenwoNh, Kan,
to take the examination.
On June last, President Taft di-
rected the secretary Of war to ad-
minister severe reprimand to. Col
onel Joseph GarraYd, commanding the
cavalry post at Fort Myer, near Wash
fngton, because he had recommended
against the advancement of Frank
Bloom, an enlisted man, on the ex-
press grounds that he was of He
brew parentage, his father being en-
gagged in the tailoring trade.
Bloom had applied tor admission to
stand examinations this fall for a.
commission as second lieute uant The
question was called to the presidents
attention in a letter from Simon Wolf,
a wsIlknown lawyer and officer of the
BNai B'rith who had recommended
young Bloom to President Roosevelt
for West Point assignment.
The president in deciding to adj
minister a rebuka to Colonel Garrard
also. ordered the examination to be-
opened to the yuung soldier if no
other cause against him appeared.
The secretary OF war, in response
to the presidents order ON the sub
ject, replied that Bloom had been noti-
fed oI his eligibility to take the ex-
animation in order to show that the
department did not share the preju-
dices, of Colonel Garrard, hut that in
accepting the colonel's recommends
ton in the first place against letting
Bloom proceed to the final examin-
alton the department. had been really
actuated by the fact that in the pre-
liminary tests Bloom had fallen be-
low standards on two subjects.
Colonel Garrard's note on Blooms
papers. to which President Taft so
SlIDH5ly IHIGcleu, Was dS LOIlOWS.
THE applicant is a son of Mr.. 10
seph A. Bloom, of Hebrew persuasion
who is now, and has been for num-
Der of years, tailor at his post. His
ASSOCIATION. as far Us | know, and
that of his family, have been with en-
listed men and their families, and
have been respectable.
THE young man is undoubtedly
honest and upright, ambitious and
probably deserving, but for the rea-
sons tated would Eot desire him In
my command as an officer and so
cial and personal associate
THE presence Of the applicants fam
lily at a military post would be sub
versive OF discipline, and their prob
able treatment source of mortifica-
ton to them and frequent cause of
trouble to commanding officers. From
an experience OF many years I have
found. except in few cases, few COM
munitfes where Hebrews are received
as desirable social associates
The president said it was hard to
deal with the case, with patience and
without condemnatory words that had
better not be written"

crude attempt 10 conceal his crime by
arson.
Il was partly the fact that Walsh's
dA2lh had been laid to him and part
ly that the detectives had confused
him and led him from one conflicting
sta ement after another that finally
made Brown break down and make his
written confession to the police. The
statement involved also Patrick

Gated in the robbing of the safe and
the burning of the building. He stuck
to his story that he had gone into

set fire to the place
The police found books and papers
scattered all over the room and even
in the lavatory at the rear. Most of
them we're burned so that they were

wide open. The detectives found
