THE WRESTLERS ARE READY
Is Here
oday to Meet
The Turk.

Alex Christofferson came in early
this morning from Thompsons, Utah.
for his bout at the Armory this even
ing with Hassan Youssouf. He
worked out for the last time this
afternoon in a brief muscle loosen
err and will be ready for the Turk
ish grappler when the two come to-
gether this evening.
Toussouf has already finished his
work, and is confidently waiting for
the call of time" He expects to-
nights mat battle to insure him a
go with Frank DuCray. 1t has been
more than a month since Hassan
came here and camped on the trail
of the former Nebraskan. He sees
in a victory over the Swede this
evening the desire OF his heart about
to be realized, for Duke will be at
the ringside and will answer the
challenge of the winner
Christofferson is ready to pose 500
that he can defeat DuCray in a
straight match. Duke will probably
want to get a line on the giant be-
fore he signs any articles to meet a
21O-pounder.
b The referee will be chosen at the
ringside, but will probably be either
Charles Lumley, Arthur Hopkins or

THE TITANIC.

The gallant ship sped gaily on
Unconscious of impending doom;
Her marble halls echoed with life,
OF love and hope-no thought of
gloom;
She. like a living, breathing thing,
Throbbing with strength and power,
True to the touch of a master hand.
Bounded on through that fateful hour
Great treasures were borne by this
noble ship
Two thousand souls were aboard,
While she, proud of her conscious
power,
Sped on where the breaking icebergs
roared,
With crash and groan of her tim
bers strong,
She struck the giant floe,
Crashing her bow like fragile shell
And ere morning sank in the depths
below,
The noble captains voice rang out
To her brave and steadfast crew,
Man the life boats! save the women,
Be Brittons, my men; be true"
The operator, true to duty's call,
Stood valiantly at his post,
Flashing the cry of thousand souls,
Come help us or we are lost,'
Grim yisaged death stalked boldly
through
That throng of noble men,
But they looked him squarely in the
face,
Undaunted to the end;
All! the gloom of that parting hour,
Such heroism no age has shown,
AS those heroes prayed in their last
farewell
o..
Nearer, My God, to Thee" floated

Walter G. Jones has received
newspaper clipping from his home

the difficulty George Gion is having

out,
Those solacing words of praise,
Fen though il be a cross"
The singers sank meath the rolling
waves;
God pity and cheer the comfortless,
Give strength to the sorely bereft,
To take up their cross as their heroes
did,
Fen to the gates of death;
Wrapped in mantle of soft seaweed.
Their brows-the salt sea laves:
Our gallant heroes are sleeping to-
night,
Many fathoms beneath the waves;
Brave deeds that thrill the human
heart
With thoughts and acts sublime.
Bear fruit for good. hundred fold,
And live to the end of time.

Asks His California Followers to Give
Their Votes to Clark.

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-Speaker
Champ Clark will be given the support
of the William r. Hearst, Democratic
faction n California, in his candidacy
for the nomination fer the presidency.
In a telegram to NJ. F. Tarpey. a
leading Hearst supporter, Speaker Clark
asserted that he had steadfastly refused
to permit campaigning in his behalf
in states that had avowed "favorite
Sons" candidates.
For this reason he would not enter
the lists against Mr.. Hearst in Cali
fornia-
This message was forwarded to NJ.
Hearst and brought the reply that he
could not for one moment consider mis-
lCslark's) retiring from California in
his favor"

for president" said Mr.. Hearst's mes
sage, land should receive not only the
support Of the Democratic voters Of
California but of every state in the

Washington. D. c., Feb 20.-Re-
ports coming to Washington to mem
bers of the house and senate from
widely separated sections Of the coun-
try agree in the statement that there
is a pronounced movement in favor
of the denomination of President Taft
among business and property interests
This does not refer to big busi-
ness" so-called. but relates to the
great mass of substantial. careful men
of property, watchful Of their own in
terests and guardian for those of
others 1t is said to be noticea BILE
among the small merchants, profess
sional men. home owners and the
"solid men of the community gener-
ally.
The reports say these people seem
to have sized up the political situation
in its present state as being precarious,
full of unknown quantities, some of
them ominous, and that gradually but
surely they are turning to William
Howard Taft as safe proposition.
Not only does this feeling apply, it
is declared, to the question of his re-
nomination. but goes further and ex-
tends to the question IF his re-elec-
ton. Where the sentiment exists
among the independent voters, those
who in recent years have not been
bound by strict party ties; it is real
lied to be very significant of possible
results at the polls in November.

The entire state, the movement of trains
and especially on lines that traverse
the mountain districts has been severely
hampered- Today hardly a train had
reached Denver from the west since 8
o'clock last night that was not from
one to five hours late. Snow began
falling yesterday forenoon over practi-
cally the entire state and continued to
fall until this morning.
Reports from some sections state
that the storm had not abated today
A driving wind accompanied the snow
storm, though in most sections a COM
paratively mild temperature prevailed.
Little damage to crops is believed to
have resulted in any sections of the
state and little suffering of stock from
the cold is said to exist. though the
heavy snow viii prevent the cattle from
grazing. In the mountain regions along
the railroad rights of way, the snow
has drifted in places as high as rail-
road coaches.
Several snuwslides have been report
ed, one on Ruby Mountain. near West
Argentine, which destroyed four trans
mission towers of the Central COLORADO

of the condition of the cap remained
At the time of the shooting Rickels
wore the cap, which fit his head snugly
AS he placed the barrel of the gun
against his head and pulled the trigger
he caused a concuSs on, which sent a
flood of brains and skull bone in Every
direction. The concussion tore the al
most rotted cap in threads. At either
side of the head, the lining and flap of
the cap was torn by the force of the ex-
plosion.
Only one shot passed through the cap
and this shot penetra ted both the cloth
lining and the leather cover. An effort
was made to establish a mysterious cir
cumstance in the killing because of the
condition of Rickals' cap. Presumably
little effort was made to obtain the real
facts. The public was misIed in a re-
port that the cap was torn by shot from
a gun and conveyed the impression
that Rickels was killed by third
party There was nothing in the facts
to warrant this statement and the con-
dltion of the cap only aids the officers
in establishing proof that Rickels took
his own life.
The inquest Will be held at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon in court of Topeka.

Gov. Harmon in an Address
Before Kentucky Legislature
Says Economy Is the Most
Needed Public Reform.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 20.-Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio, today warned
the Kentucky state legislature and all
public office holders to analyze their
own records and see how far they were
responsible for the unrest he said was
making a demand for innovations in
government. generally. Governor Har-
mon spoke briefly in answer to a recent
invitation Of the legislature. He said
in part:
whatever we may think OF the in
novations in government we are hear
ing SO much about, it behooves every
one who holds public position to
make dfligent self search to find
whether any shortco1-ing on his part
figures in the unrest the proposal of
these changes signifies. While some
doubtless advocate them for other
reasons, the greater number would not
lend an ear without some real or sup
posed ground for discomfort with pub
lie agencies as they are.
direct legislation is aimed at the
law makers as a body and the recall at
the individual members as well as at
executive officers and judges. And 1t
may fairly be said that the support
these devices receive varies with the
real or supposed need of them, as we'll
as with opinions about the balance Of
advantage in then" "
Closing, Governor Harmon said:
Il believe the reform most sorely
results at less expense.
1T ought not to cost a billion dollars
a year, or over $11 for each man, wonn-
an and child in the country to maintain
the federal government with its limited
functions.
True these are times of private ex-
travagance, but that is no excuse for
public extravaganza. Everybody may
spend his own money as he pleases, but
public officials spend other peoples
money, much of it contributed under
hardship and all of it for purposes
which make it sacred for every patriot.
Federal expenses bear more heavily
on the people than state and local ex-
penses because the latter are raised oy
taxes on property only while the former
are chiefly raised by the tariff on ar
ticles consumed.
I'VE need other reforms, too, but this
would bring quicker, greater and more
general relief than any other. And re-
duction of the tariff taxes with care
and economy in public expenditures
which go hand in hand, are ready
means to secure it
