view. A shipper named Mccartney sued

dignifeant evidence about eggs, but de-

opinion says;
by the uniformed eggs are ordi-
narly divided into two classes-that is,
good eggs and bad eggs; but we are
told by the evidence herein that among
those engaged in the business many
grades of eggs are recognized; that an

New York, Nov. o.--With additional

college would be little less than 442,
with II for Roosevelt and IL for Taft.
| Wyoming went into the Wilson col.

grcssiye leaders were still declaring that
they would get California, impartial
sources insisted that missing districts
! were all in Democratic localities and
were sure TO increase the Wilson vote.
Thursday nights figures cut down
Wilson's lead TO less than 100. The lat
est available returns yesterday gave
Roosevelt 2s0255; Wilson, 2s0,l25, a
lead OF 1870 for Roosevelt II will take
an official count to settle the result.
Idaho, which has all along been con.
ceded to Taft, also came into the doubt

Progressives a Puzzle.
Much interest was expressed yester-
day in the political affiliations of the
Progressives in the House and in the
various states where they sent men to
the legislature. For instance, it was
pointed out that in Illinois the Progress
sive legislators could combine with the
Democrats and elect a United States
senator to succeed Senator Cullom But
whether they would vote for James
Hamilton Lewis, the leading Democratic
aspirant, was a question. In Michigan !
the Democrats and progressives were
believed to be likely to combine.
In Congress it was said the Democrats /
would be asked by the Progressive lead.
ers to assign minority representation on
the House committees to the Progress
sive congressman elected. President |
Wilson will be asked to name Progress
sives as the minority members of all |

tain to bring about numerous compli-
,ations.

JAMES DEFEATS
 CUTRER IN FAST
 WRESTLING BOUT

The classic Greek proved superior to the ] solid German in the wrestling bout yes terday at the Jefferson theatre when
 Greek James threw James Cutrer two
 straight falls in one of the most interest
 Ing and scientific wrestling matches ever held in Birmingham.
 The two men were evenly matched as to height and weight and at almost any
 stage of the game the issue was in doubt. TheHe was no doubt as to the favorite so far as the audience was concerned, for in every instance where the local man gained an advantage the crowd went wild.
 The first bout lasted 25 minutes. the
 Greek acting on the defensive in the early skill on the mat, and at times when it would seem that a fall had been reached
 quick turn would change the situation. The first round lasted 25 minutes and several times it seemed as though Cutrer would prove the victor, but the sturdy
 Greek held him and worked out of sev-
 eral tight places. After wrestling evenly
 for 20 minutes James threw Cutrer, and
 tho two contestants fell far from the mat,
 Cutrer's head striking the boards with
 telling force.
 Referee E. J. Perrey placed them in the
 center of the ring. and from that time
 on the Greek took the aggressive. He had
 Cutrer in several tight places, and only
 the nerve and skill of the local man en-
 abled him to extricate himself However,
 after % minutes James placed the
 shoulders of the intrepid Cutrer on the
 mat. and the first fall went for the Greek.
 A few minutes respite was taken be- tween the bouts by the announcement of the Johnson-Flynn fight by Johnnie Col
 lins. At the conclusion of the readings
 of the bulletins the wrestling match was resumed.
 Both James and Cutrer responded to the call of time promptly and from the start 1t was evident that both men were de- termined to win the bout. Both startee to roughing it, but It was evident that the Greek was determined to force the issue as he was the aggressor at all times during the round. Several times he got Cutrer In tight places and almost by superhunan efforts the local man ex- tricated himself out of the difficulty but the Greek never let up. He was the ag- gressor all the time and after 35 minutes of desperate effort for supremacy, he got a half-Nelson on Cutrer and put his shoulders to the mat
 There was much dissatisfaction to the decision of the referee in the second round as many of the immediate specta- tors declared that the decision was wrong. It was close as Cutrer was on his feet almost at the time the fall was de- clared.
 James was much elated at the outcome and was the recipient of the hearty cheers of his compatriots who were present in large numbers.
 Cuterer was much disappointed at the result, but when asked as to the ruling of the referee stated that he had no criticism to make as under no circum- stances would he object to the decision of the referee.
 The match was clean and fast all the way through and was one of the best and
 most scientific ever pulled off in the city.
