KETCHEL PUTS QUESTION OF
 MATCH SQUARELY ID HUSSEN

Failing to get a wrestling match with Ed Hussen of Tombstone. a vel terweight, of which class Hussen claims to be champion of Arizona, Al Ketchel, determined to get a match with the Tombstone man on any terms. offers to wrestle Hussen on some date between September l5 and October 1 in Bisbee at catch weights for a side bet of SlO0 or over and all of the gate receipts.
 Hussen statement to the ProsTec- toi, a Tombstone newspaper, that he had not received the articles for a weiterweight match from Al Ketchei. was a stall pure and simple, and he responsibility for delaying the return match lies at Hussen's deer. While asserting that he had not received the articles, he acknowledged receipt of the articles in a letter to Ketchel. re- fusing to wrestle on the terms offered in the articles, which were at strict welterweight, for the welterweght title and under Police Gazette rules.
 Ketchers reason for wanting to NIE5NAc al MGlLSi W titLt Was AAHoheAA S statement following the Ketchel-Far- ney match that his match with Ketch- el at Tombstone on July i5 would not have affected the welterweight title in any event, as neither weighed tn at welterweight.
 Regarding the match, Dan Ketchel, As manager. writes this department as follows;
 ketehePs Side Given
 TO correct an impression that seems to be prevalent in Bisbee that Al Ketchel is afraid to meet Ed Illus sen on the mat again, 1 would like 10 give our side of the question. Alter the match in Tombstone Hussen agreed to a return match in Bisbee on the same terms that we wrestled un- der at Tombstone. that Is. weight al 1J3 pounds and S200 side bet.
 After we returned to Bis5ee 1 wrote to Hussen and told him we were ready to post forfeit money and sign articles, but the only reply was a letter appearing in the sporting col umns of the Bisbee Daily Review ever Ed Hussen's signature criticising Als wrestling and saying that he could not claim the championship because he was ever weight when he wrested

him CHussen for the welterweight Ii tie
 Gentle Reminder
 "dussen has evidently forgotten who claimed the welterweight cham pionship and who wanted to wrestle at leo pounds to defend it. It also seems that he has forgotten that the man who wrestled like a post took away fve-sixths of the gate money at the Husson-Ketchel match.
 After reading Hussen's letter that was printed in the Review I sent him a set of articles naming the weight at 14S pounds so that there could be no question as to who was the cham pion Of the welterweight class. l have just received a letter in reply to the one 1 sent him. saying; Your de- mands cannot be granted but l will take your brother on at 155 pounds and weigh in at o'clock in the after noon. One hundred and ifty-ivs pounds at { o'clock would mean 160 pounds at 9 o'clock, but we want to make him better offer than this, and to prove that Hussen is afraid to grestle Al Ketehel again. We want those interested in ,he match to know it.
 Up to Hussen
 Al ketchel will Wrestle Ed Hussen on some date between September i5 and October ], 1911, in the city of Bisbee, at catch weight, for a side bet of S10O and winner take all of the gate receipts.
 As soon as Hussen puts up for felt of al least $50 or the entire side bet. whatever amount he wants to make it. and when we are notified that 1t is up We will put up a like amount. We have not the slightest hope that Hussen will put up penny, but if he does and we do not, then he can make his loud talk and people will believe him.
 Al is at Galveston, his home, where he has several matches arranged with the talent of that city He has continued his training and is in sp.en- did condition, having gained several pounds. despite his hard work.
 Dan ketchel's proposition to Hussen puts it squareIy up to the Tombstone title claimant. His refusal to sign up under the conditions offered by Ketchel will automatically guash what ever claim hs may have to the welter' weight wrestling title of Aviona.

Some will tell you that he Is injured; others whis- per that he is sick, while still others hand out the information that he is overtrained All this talk is brought about by a little "kink' in his back. The very fact that the slightest incl dent will cause so much talk Is eyi- dence of the wonderful interest in the bout. 1T you ask anyone in Chicago where they win be on Labor Day, the reply will come instantly, I'm going to the wrestling match.

CHICAGO, Aug 25.-That there will be no rag chewing" from the seconds in the corners of Gotch and Haeken- schmidt this time is an assured fact, for the chief of police has sent word to the promoters Of the bout that Le will station an officer in each corner of the ring with instructions to Ie- move any seconds from the grounds who directs an insulting remark to- wards either Goteh or Haekenschmidt, or uses foul language tc either or the men. The chief said that he would not allow 8 repetition of the former teh-Hackenschmidt bout. when some of the seconds insulted the wresters. The men cau go at each other with as much venom as they please to exhibit, but seconds must refrain from passing remarks.

 Makes Big Hit
 Jack Curley, as well as Joe Coney, are delighted at this intervention on the part of Chief Schuettler, who is himself about the biggest wrestling fan in the city Of Chicago. In fact, only today he sent word to Curley he would be delighted to go to Edge water. where Hackenschmidt is train ing, and watch him do his afternoon s work. However, the little lay-off that Hack is taking prevented the request being granted. A date. however, was made for next Tuesday afternoon when all the official heads from tfe| city hall will De given a private work out
 Gotch will arrive in the city Mon day next. Emil Kiank returned to| Humboldt. Iowa, last night, having completed all the arrangements for the champions quarters during the last week of his preparation. Klana last night said that he did not think there was anything to it but Gotch.

He was sort of| aweG All that feeling is lacking n lime and when Frank goes into the ring he feels that he is the best man and Hack will have to Go a lot Of work to dislodge that belief Conf denoe is a great factor in 8 match of this kind, and confidence to burn js| what GotcR has right at the present time
 T want you to come around and see him when he gets here, and you'll say you never saw an athlete trained tc such perfect condition"
 Klank Ras asked if there was any danger of the champion going stale.
 Stale nothing, replied Klank. He was worked rather hard, but then you know that Gotch is of that type and can stand lots of work. Whenever we find he is getting down too fine we will lay off for a few days and take it easy. The last week will see all hard, strenuous work cut out We cant take a chance of him injuring himself. Our efforts will be directed to perfecting his wind so that If the contest develops into one of endur- ance he will be able to go g week II necessary"

Vanity.


4 real friendship with a vain wom-
an lacks comfort and sincerity.
Wound for a second her vanity and
the friendship snaps. Many people
wonder at the attraction OF women
who are undeniably plain. but it
often has its root in the fact that
they ara lacking in vanity. They are
not constantly absorbed in their own
charms. so have time to admire those
of other people. consequently they
are seldom lacking in friends.
Vanity is not altogether an attri-
butte OF the grown-up. One sees II
frequently developed to an alarming
extent in young children. Nor is II a
matter for amusement Rather should
every mother strive to uproot this
tendency. Ridicule is one of the swift
est ways OF extinguishing it.
Children should be taught not to
attach Importance to whatever physi-
cal charms they may possess. Beau
tiful eyes. a lovely mouth or n de-
lightful nose should not be subjects
of scomment. but IL commented upon
at all should be lightly done. for no
child should be started in life with

ELECTRIC POWER FROM WIND
Economical Lighting Plants Can Be
Based on II. With Gasoline
Motors to Help.

There has never been a time when
the forces OF nature were subjected
TO such searching scrutiny to deter
mine their availability for the devel-
opment OF mechanical power as they
receive at present. This arises main
iy from the progressive use OF cleo
tricity.
Among other things it is believed
that the wind can be utilized to a far
greater extent than in the past. espe-
cially for electrical lighting With this
object in view the average state OF
the wind has been Investigated in Eng
land. II is found that for approx
mately half the time the mean wind
velocity is ten miles an hour. and for
about one-third of the time fifteen
miles. In the winter the average is
higher. The great difficulty arises
from the calm periods. which may
last days. or even n week. but It has
been shown that economical lighting
plants can be based upon wind power
by providing gasoline motors TO take
up the work whenever the wind fails.

The sea coast of Laurentum may
have been in favor with the fashion
able and the wealthy for brief
space of time under Augustus and his
immediate successors. but was given
up quite soon to parvenues and mer-
chants and retired officers. and the

the present day the popular watering
places of the world. To make the
analogy more striking. an inscription
has been found at La Capocotta sing
ing the praises of wealthy Jew. and

had been built at Ostia for the use Of
the Semitic "villeggianu' on the

Children and Firearms Again.

Little Anna Quinn. fourteen years
old. was instantly killed the other day
at Lowell. Mass. by the explosion of a
revolver held by her playmate. Thel-
ma Borg, aged twelve years. The two
children. with Sonia Borg, a sister of
Thelma. and another play-fellow. were
playing about the Borg home when
they discovered the revolver. After
all had looked at 1t. Anna playfully
held 1t against the heart of Thelma
Borg. I'm going to kill you." she
said. smilingly. The triggo- was pulled.
but the revolver failed - explode.
Once more the weapon We examined
by the children and then Thelma Borg
took 1t and placed It close to the
Quinn child's head. Playfully she ex-
claimed: you killed me; now I'm go
ing to kill you" She fired. This time
the weapon exploded.

DEEP MYSTERY OF THE LAW
Man Who Won't Support Family Is
Imprisoned and Wife Really
Pays Penalty.

Mysteries, far beyond the compre-
hension of the average mortal, are
constantly revealed in the law and its
administration. The other day a
much -harassed woman appeared in a
Boston court and complained to the
judge that her husband refused to
support their two small children. She
could get along without him, she said,
but she demanded that he be COM
oelled to go to work and help support
his offspring. Her story was corrobo-
rated by witnesses.
So the Judge found the man guilty
and sentenced him to one year in the
house of correction.
Here was what seems on the sur
face to be an easy problem. A hus-
band and father, either through disin-
elination or through inability to find
work, is brought into court on a
charge Of non-support- In order to
relieve the situation, he is sent to the
house OF correction, where he viii be
kept at work. That he is not able
to send his pay envelope home 10 his
family every Saturday night-because
there IS no pay envelope in such
cases-is. in the eye Of the law. a
minor circumstance The main thing
seems TO be that the man has been
guilty of an offense and that he is
punished for IT. He is punished, but
1t is his wife and his two helpless
children who pay the penalty.
The law may be ironical, but it has
no sense of humor. You have been
found guilty OF not supporting your
children" It says, 'and therefore
wiii-send you where you cannot sup
port them"
