COTCH WINS AN
EASY VICTORY
lowan Defeats Alex Munroe ID
Two Straight Falls
With Ease

Frank Gotch, world s.wrestling cham
pion. defeated Alex Munroe. the Eng
fish champion, in straight falls at Kan
sas City, Thursday evening. The first
fall came in twelve minutes and the
second in eight minutes five seconds,
each with half nelson and crotch hold.
When Dave Porteous, referee pattcd.
the Iowan twice on the back to signify
that he had won, Gotch came over to
the ropes above the press box and sp,sl
ingly said to the newspaper men:
Boys, I'm done. This was my last
appearance on the mat.
AS he jumped over the rope Gotch
threw his bathrobe, which he had worn
in every contest since the night of April
3, 1905. when he won the championship
of the world from George Hackenschnidt
in Chicago, to Jim Asbell. his trainer.
Keep this to remember me by. said
Gotch.
1t was the easiest match Gotch has
had for several years. The Englishman
displayed but scant knowledge of the
game, and Gotch, it seemed to the
spectators, merely played with him
The champion secured his first fall BY
getting half nelson while he was
raising Munroe higher in the air
Gotch brought the Englishman down to
the mat, and effecting the crotch hold
easily gained the fall in twelve minutes
fiat.
The second fall was even easier, the
champion still adhering to the successful
hold of the first fall. The time was
eight minutes 5 seconds.
OF his retirement Gotch said alter the
match:
There was a certain brook OF poetic
tradition that rambled on forever, but
human flesh does not wear as well as
water feel that am probably better
now than ever before in my career and
[ want to quit while am at my best
/ don't wantto continue wrestling, grow
stale and let some foreigner beat me. Z
tsotch said he tlloagha Mahmoat, the
Turk, the greatest Of foreign wrestlers.
Petersen. the Dane, he said looked the
next best.
England for mine said Munroe.
Il was completely outclassed. :"

COULDN'T LET THAT GO.

Loud voiced and much excited, a
native of Butte, Mont, sent up a
cry for bellboy at a hotel in Chi
cago the other day. He explained
that he had just lost a valuable ar
ticle and was sure it had gone out
with his laundry. He handed the re-
spending beilboy a dollar to get the
package back at once, if possible.
The bellboy 'bedt it" as he said, to
the laundry and found that the west
erner's linen had just been dumped
into tub. The lad paved around
in the tub, found a crumpled hand
kerchief and drew forth the lost ar
ticle. 1t was glass eye.

OPPOSES THE DIVORCE RING
Boston Woman Lawyer Makes scuss
Sarcastic Comment on Morals
Of the Present Day.

Miss Amy Acton, a prominent
lawyer of Boston, said recently, at
a fashionable club luncheon, that the
divorce ring which western women
have inaugurated, is vulgar.
at is vulgar" she said, because
it is an advertisement of the fact
that the wearer is a divorced wom-
an"
Slipping her black demi-tasse, Miss
Acton added refectively:
81 may be wrong, though, IN con-
demning the divorce ring-it per-
haps serves some very good purpose
The number of our divorces is really
alarming. We seem to be approach
ing that state which prevailed in old
Roman times when divorce was so
frequent that ON the tomb of an I'M
divorced woman was inscribed:
"Here lies a good wife who had
but one husband"

Dr. Balthazard at the recent con-
gress Of legal medicine in Paris de-
scribed his experiments on the ideD-
tification Of revolver bullets. He has
formulated a system for identifying
them very like that Of DR.. Bertillon
for identifying human beings.
He showed by greatly enlarged
photographs that every gun barrel
leaves marks on a bullet and that the
marks are always the same for the
same barrel, but never identical for
two different barrels. He showed,
too, that the hammer of gun or re-
volver strikes the cartridge at a point
which is never the exact center Of
the cartridge, but is always the same
for the same weapon.
DR.. Balthazard has succeeded in
making negatives of bullets nearly
foot wide. Every detail naturally
appears very distinctly and it can be
decided with absolute certainly
whether a certain bullet was fired
from a certain revolver.

MANILA'S GREAT
OPIUM CRUSADE

MANILA, March 22.-The recent
decision of Judge Crossfeld, in the
court of first instance unfolding the
action of the chief of police in break
ing down barbados and removing
from houses suspected of being used
as opium joints the trap doors and
barricaded fixtures which make entry
to them a matter for crowbars and pick
axes, has done much to discourage
opium smoking in the city and has
caused prepared opium to become lit
orally a drug on the market"
AS the price of prepared opium
goes down, cocaine, morphine and
eating opium increase in value, as
these drugs may be used with a
greater degree of secrecy than smok-
ing opium, which requires building
fitted with all the traps and get
away" devices for which Manila
joints have become famous. The Top
JOiA' SA'No lIoCll away Wy lhS lulllto,
and the house in which it is located
must be so arranged as to permit
the smokers to escape when the GER
tain call of the police comes.
Under the ruling of the court, the
chief of police is not subject to dam
ages caused in effecting entrance to
building suspected of being an
opium Joint, and the recent activity
of the department along this line has
been discouraging to the joint keep
ers, who find themselves unable 10
make money fast enough to keep
their places in repair
And the price of the other drugs
continues to rise No quotations can
be obtained, but morphine is said to
be at a premium in Chinatown with
cocaine and eating" opium bring
much better prices than they do when
the smoking places are in full blast.
