Story of Fight by Rounds.

Round 1.-The boys walked slow ly to the center of the ring, then danced and feinted for several sec onds before Attell led with his left.
 He fell trifle short, but a moment later put a left on the mouth. They went into a short clinch. On the break Kilbane placed a short right hook on the jaw, turning Abe half around. Abe only smiled They both feinted carefully until they got close, when Kilbane placed the right on the wind and shot a left to the jaw and put left on the mouth and the right on the jaw lightly. Both boys fought coolly and the bell found them feinting for an opening.
 Round 2.-They feinted about the ring. Abe bore in, trying to make the Cleveland lad break ground. Kill bane refused to do this, however, and ripped left to the mouth, then sent a stinging right uppercut to the jaw. Kilbane brought blood from

 Round 70. - They shook hands in the center of the ring. Johnny then stuck left in Abes mouth without moving. Abe followed his opponent and tried to land on the wind, but Johnny spoiled his inten- tions with his left facers and oc- casionally whipping the right over on the jaw. Kilbane put the left on the mouth. then whipped the right on the jaw, and in the half clinch that followed Johnny reached the wind with the right. Then the champion shot a left to the mouth and they mixed it fiercely. Kilbane was entirely too shifty for the cham p'on. The Clevelander's blows land ed with more or less effect on the champion repeatedly. The bell sep | arated them from this last mixup and, when Referee Eyton lifted John ny's hand in token of a new feath- er-weight champion the ring almost instantly filled up with excited fans and he was carried out on the shoulders of the crowd

ed. The blood started afresh from Kilbane's eye. The champion shot at it several times with his left, but the Cleveland boy was too clev. CT for him. Kilbane played a tat. too on the champions face almost at will. Kilbane danced in and out, shooting in the left, then the right. In a clinch Attell used both hands on the stomach
 Round 1S.-They exchanged facers and then feinted for an opening. At1ell reached the mouth lightly with a left and then they went into a short clinch Kilbane reached the mouth with left and coming close ripped the right up to the mouth, and in a clinch which they fell into Attell complained to the referee. They landed lefts on the mouth and Johnny then placed a left on the mouth and they clinched again. John ny shot a left on the mouth and they clinched. Johnny put the left on the mouth and slipped. Abe was on top of him in a minute, but the challenger was too shifty, and the champions efforts went for naught
 Round 19. They danced about in the center of the ring until final ly Johnny put three lefts on the mouth and jaw. Kilbane ducked a hard left swing and they went to a short clinch. Kilbane put a straight left on the mouth and block ed the return. Abe put left on the mouth and tried to switch to the right on the stomach, but was un-

llriis
thWarted: all departments q
science has been shown the me Il.
lmabie value Of prudent precautionl
Now fate steps IN and furnishes
a horrible object lesson in the sink
ing of the giant transatlantic
steamship, the Titanic. which car
ried between a thousand and ffteen
hundred human souls to watery
grave. It is a frightfully expensive
lesson but after an a step in the
revolution noted.
The world Is informed that not a
sufficient number OF life boats were
carried on the Titanic to save all its
human freight in the event OF such
a disaster as It met. The world also
stands aghast over the further in
formation, now made to seem awful,
that other great steamships do not
carry life boats enough to guaran-
tee possible recue of all their
passengers and crews. Public opin-
ion is righteously demanding some
action in recompense for the appar-
ent criminal negligence that per
mitted the Titanic to be without
adequate life saving apparatus.
Such action is Forthcoming and IT
surely will be productive of results,
or course, as in one instance a
newspaper exclaims, the lack OF life
boats on these big ships is a satire
on modern civilization. Another
newspaper, though, points out that
there was not a deliberate design to
prevent the safety of sea voyagers
by lack of boats, as the idea was
entertained that water tight bulk
heads could be depended upon to
keep the most seriously damaged
vessels afioat until assistance could
be given. Bodies that prescribed
marine regulations even rested on
this belief when they cut in half the
number OF boats formerly required
to be carried. Experience had largely
iustifed-the belief.
The terrible lesson from the At
lantic emphasizes the necessity in
this modern age Of helping along
the crusade of precaution and Of
battling with that ever growing in
difference to possible danger which
grows into actual negligence and de-
structive results.

For the Purpose Of Putting
Beet Growers Out of
the Business.

WASHINGTON. D. C, April 80
An important phase of the hearings
on the sugar bill, in which beet sugar
men from many states have appeared
to protest against the stamping out
Of that great industry, has been the
evidence that the sugar trust is
vitality interested in the efforts to
pass the sugar bill, and the demon
stration that to pass the bill would
be to benefit the trust, and injure
the beet sugar men.
4 In other words, the hearing has
demonstrated the absolute error OF
the thousands of westerners who
have supposed that the sugar trust.
as the refining interests are known,
is friendly to the beet sugar men.
= Following are some of the devel-
opments to date:

The Bothersome Sparrow.

"a reader OF Baltimore newspa-
per complains that he has been
troubled fof some time with the
roosting of sparrows on his second
story porch. They come there by
dozens. he says, and take full pos
session. In response to his appeal
for information as to how he can
make them leave, one of the wise
acres on the newspaper digs up the
following advice written by biol
ogist of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. which might be
used by local persons who have been
likewise bothered by sparrows.
English sparrows that roost
where they are not wanted may
usually be made to seek other quar-
tiers by driving them out OF their
roosting places after dark. Very
often single fright of this sort is
sufficient. A jet OF water from a
garden hose makes a convenient
as we'll as an especially effective dis
turber. One of our correspondents
claims that moth balls placed where
sparrows roost will keep them
away
1t has. been generally believed
that the despised English sparrow,
like the rat, is a useless pest, the
killing Of which is a duty and a ne
cessity. This widely accepted belief
has been in conflict, however. with
the theory that all things ordained
by an infinite Director are product
i've Of some good somewhere. The
theory has Just been partly vindi-
Gated. by a report OF officials of the
government biological survey, which
is doubtless subsequent to the advice
Of the biologist reported by the Bal
timore newspaper just quoted. 1t
has been found that the sparrow is a
vigorous enemy of the alfalfa
weeyil, which has appeared in Utah
and wyoming and is likely to spread
to other states. Experiments are to
be made both with sparrows and
With other birds this summer by the
government officials in the hope Of
checking the spread of the weevil.
1t remains now to find out what
good comes the weevil as well as
the rat and other pestiferous
creatures.

ale of the sugar trust stock in beet
sugar companies. The sugar trust
at one time tried to dominate the
beet sugar industry, by buying stock
in the biggest beet sugar companies
and at one time owned majority OF
the stock in some of the biggest beet
sugar companies. When 1t was
found, however, that beet sugar
factory could be established easily
by Independents, and that the trust
could never control the industry,
the trust began selling out it's beet
sugar factory stock, and then began
the agitation for free sugar, to de-
molish the Independent interests It
could not buy out.

That If sugar we're admitted free
it would wipe out this competition
of beet sugH with the trust product,

the price as was the case last year.

to pay a big duty.
That the sugar trust formerly
owned a large Interest in many beet
sugar plants, but when it began to
plan the free sugar bill sold out
practically all it's own holdings in
beet sugar factory stock.
That the free sugar bill was con-
ceiyed and pushed when it was dis
covered last year that beet sugar
was being sold in competition even
in the eastern states, with the cane
sugar.
That when the price of sugar went
to about eight cents last summer,
it was because of the shortage of
beet sugar, and that the moment
the new crop of beet sugar came into
the market the price of sugar
dropped to normal.
That the beet sugar from Califor-
mia and the Pacific coast is now pro,
duced in such quantities as to be
