HIS MAT

hoight--and. next to the king. Beck
was tho great Jacket around Den
mark.
Petersen figured that he could
wrestl" good enough to got Il lookin
with the champion. and he started on
a Journey of the newspapers of Copen-
hagen to lind some editor who would
eSpouse his cause. But Beck Olson
had only recently returned from a
victorious tom of America. and the
editors were not SO lightly turncd
from their hero worshippins.
The more Petersen pleaded. the less
attention he got, and in most instances
he was ordered out of the offices.
There was something almost rrofane
about his even suggesting n match
with tho big Scaninavian--and things
looked mighty gloomy for Jess.
|. Then Petersen did the I'll get him
yet act and plunged in all the hard
or. Finally the editor of a no-account
paper took up his cause. and made so
much noise over it. the sound was q
dull grating on Olson's ears.
Some of the other papers decided to
add to the excitement. and all the
while The citizens looked upon the
challenge as Il huge Joke.
Out of sheer annoyance. and cggcd
on by his friends to get rid of the up
start once and for all. Olson consent
cd to a match--hcst two in three.
There WAS a great crowd out that
night tn see the undoing of the chal-
lenger-on whose side there was only
one: namely. the editor who had first
taken mp his shout. The others re-
fused to take Petersen seriously or
even conccdc him a chance.
The main event finally came around

up.
:. pair of legs danglcd on Highland
W. shoulders sank into the mat. The
hand of the referee came down with
ii %rcsounding slap. and the mol held
its breath.
This was the lcginning-and the
end.
But the king Of the Danish srap-
lers, Beck Olson, lay plastercd to the
canvas.
Petersen. tn" stripping, the amhi-
tious youth, had won--in less than one
minute.
And Eeck's heart was broken. He
refused to come back. and tho cry
that was taken up in tho hall echoed

CARL MORRIS
WINS HIS BOUT

New York. Feb. 15.-Carl Morris.
the Oklahoma giant. had the better
of every round in a ten-round bout
with Jim Stewart. the Brooklyn
heavyweight. at the Carlyle Athletic
club in Brooklyn last night. Although
Stewart had been hailed as an ven
match for Morris, he lasted out the
ten rounds only by holding on and
running away.
Morris did about all the fighting.
chasing Stewart about the ring and
cornering him in almost every round,
when he placed a few stiff punches.
1t seemed the general opinion that
Stewart would have been knocked out
had he stood up and fought. Morris
was cool and steady at all stages and
showed greater accuracy than usual.
In the sixth round he cut open Stew.
arts lips with a hard punch. Morris.
weighing in at 2S0 pounds. had IS
pounds the better of the Brooklyn
man.

SH|VER|NG IS IN STYLE
Cold, Accelerated by Biting
Winds, Now Reigns
in Capital.

Some more cold weather struck Wash
ington early this morning, and at =
o'clock the official temperature, taken at
the weather bureau, was 80 degrees above
zero. By noon the mercury had crawled
5 degrees higher up the tube. but the
searching wind that swept down, from
the north-northwest was keen and biting
enough to make 1t seem as If the cold
was many degrees more severe.
The temperature began to drop soon
after midnight last night, and the drop
was accelerated by the bowling gale that
raved and roared over this part of the
country, commencing shortly after 3
o'clock this morning. Sleepers who are
addicted to the open window habit learn
ed of the gale when they awoke to find
bedclothes torn off and scattered over the
floors of their sleeping chambers, while
window shades played lively tattoos and
seemed about to be torn from their
fastenings
The cold will increase tonight. when
the mercury Is expected to crawl down
into the twenties and establish another
new low mark for the season. Fair
weather will prevail tonight and tomor-
row. and temperatures will probably
moderate considerably within the next
thirty-six hours.

"RECEIVER OF STOLEN GOODS"

Washington, April Q. - \ letter he
has written to President Taft has been
given out by Senator Dixon. Mr. Roose.
velt's campaign manager.
This letter refers to the president
of the United States, as possibly the
deliberate receiver Of stolen goods"
1t characterizes the pres tdents words
as ridiculous and absurd" CHARGES
that office holders refuse to credit Mr..
Taft's Sincerity aud by their acts
have assailed your honor and yeracity
as president of the United States
The Dixon letter is one of the most
extraordinary documents ever ad-
dressed to the head Of the United
States
The letter is addressed to the presi-
dent" In 1t Dixon quotes a telegram
from Edward c. ORear. former chief
justice of the supreme court Of Ken
lucky and Republican candidate for
governor in that state at the last cleo
ton, In this telegram Mr.. O'Rear
says that returns give Roosevelt the
First district of Kentucky, hut that
the chairman of the NcCracken coun-
ty committee. who is deruty pOstmas-
ter at Paducah. has signed the TAFT
certificates, although Roosevelt had
won by 1.006 to 517 Other instances
are given in the teleerams of what
O'Rear characteri2es as the most high
handed methods ever seen in Ken
lucky politics.
Il call upon you. not as candidate
for denomination, but as president CT
the United States, to issue an order
to the otitceholders of Kentucky to
cancel their illegal action call upon
you, as president of the United
States, to punish these men guilty of
violating the civil service rules and
the orders of your predecessor. l call
upon you, as president of the United
States, to enforce the law"
The president will not answer the
Dixon letter. He does not deem an
answer necessary, inasmuch as Dixon
notifies him that he has brought the
case before the civil service commits
sion.
