would be third candidate.
The uproar lasted In all nearly an
hour, and was decidedly diverting, but
did not accomplish anything. For when
II came to a roll call, the Taft forces
tabled Deneen's motion with a vote Of
5G4 to $40, thus showing an increased
strength over the vote on temporary

The Fall In the Death Rate.
In the registration area of the Unit
ed States the death rate has fallen
from 1916 per 1000 In 1890 to 1874 In
1908. In Massachusetts the death rate
has fallen from 1914 in 1890 to 17.5 In
1907. In England and Wales 1t has
fallen from 1913 In 1890 to 14.7 In
1908: in Sweden from Ill in 1890 to
I49 in 1905, and In France from 22s
In 1890 to l4.9 In 1908.
This is a splendid showing. but when
we analyze the material from which
these figures are derived We find that
the death rate among young people
has fallen more than 80 per cent. while
the death rate among the middle aged
and elderly has either been slightly af-
fected or markedly increased, accord
ing to the locality investigated.
In Massac husetts the increase In the
death rate at advanced ages is really
startling and doubtless reflects a con
ditlon general throughout the country.
We know that the degenerative dis
eases affecting middle life and old age

such as is exhibited In the Massachu

yet been reached. These diseases. such

Flynn was rushed to his camp

made.
The fight was utterly lacking in
interest. 1t was like a training bout
at Johnson's camp outside of the
blood Flynn lost. There was not a
cheer throughout the nine rounds
and the crowd accepted the action OF
the police with apparent delight.

POLICE STOP FIGHT IN
9TH FL YNN LOSING
FLYNN is AS HELPLESS AS A CHILD

Las Vegas, N. NJ, July 4.-The Jack
lohnson-Flynn forty-fve round fight
for the heavyweight championship
was brought to a close in the ninth
round by the state police.
Captain Fled Fornoh, personal rep
resentative at the ringside of Govern
or McDona ID. declared that it was
no longer a boxing contest; that it
was brutal exhibition and that
Flynn's foul tactics made its con-
tinuance impossible He jumped in
to the ring with his deputies and
drove fighters and onIclals who fol-
lowed him to the corners. Referee
Ed. w. Smith then announced that
Johnson had won ON points and the
fight was over.
Flynn displayed no ability through
out the fight. He was cut about the
face until b God ran down his breast
in stream. He was utterly helpless
from the first round on, and by the
sixth was deliberately trying to butt
the champions chin with his head.
Warned for Buttng.
Time after time as Johnson held
him powerless in the clinches, Flynn
jerked his head upward. Smith warn
ed him repeated y, but it did nc
good. In the seventh he began leap
ing upward every time he could work
his head under Johnsonls chin.
Flynn's feet were both off the floor

put into his bounds. Sometimes he

Champion Only Smiles.
In the next clinch-it was in the
eighth round-Flynn flung himself
upward again Smith jumped be-
tween them and warned him once
more Next time you do it I'll dis
qualify YOU he shouted at Flynn;
but changed his mind, for it happen
ed again and again in that round
and repeatedly in the ninth before
the police took a hand.
Through it al, the champion was
smiling. He evaded Flynn's attack
with the utmost ease, whether the
Pueblo man led, with his hands or
his head Only once in the nine
rounds did he show any wish to end
the fight and yet ringside opinion was
unanimous that he could have put
Flynn out at any time he happened
to fancy, whether in the first or the
ninth round The champion opened
up only that once, early in the fight,
when Flynn landed his only good
blows, right and left hooks to the
jaw delivered during a clinch
Johnson appeared nettled at his
own carelessness and smashed a
right uppercut through Flynns guard
which rocked the white man on his
feet. Then the champion smiled
again and went back to the monoto-
nous chopping uppercuts in the
clinches which reduced Flynn's face
to a b cody mass in each round.

self with a slow, coldly scientific
chopping, every blow finding its way
through the barricade of gloves and
elbows behind which Flynn crouched
1t was a perfect exhibition of guard
ing and hitting in the clinches, as
far as the champion was concerned.
Not a blow Flynn started reached
him with any steam behind it. They
were smothered or tossed aside un-
less Johnson chose to allow his OPP
ponent to batter away at his stomach,
smiling the while over Flynn's
shoulder.
When the fight was over there was
not a mark on Johnsons body be-
yond cut inside his lower lip
which bled slightly for a few min
utes.
