ATTELL LOSES TITLE.
Defeated by Kilbane in Battle for Feath-
erweight Championship.

Los Angeles, Feb. ga new feather
weight was proclaimed yesterday, for
Johnny Kilbane clearly outfought and
outslugged Abe Attell, the hitherto in
vincible champion, Kilban's victory was
clean-cut and decisive, Kilbane having
the better OF every round except two.
Attell was badly bruised, while Kilbane
had only one mark over his eye
Nearly 10000 persons saw the fight.
1t was the greatest crowd that ever
viewed prize fight in Los Angeles.
The men fought for purse of $4,000
which Attell was to receive $4,000 win,
lose or draw and Kilbane $500.
Attell's boasted speed and cleverness
were missing. Kilbane made him look
like novice in nearly every round.
Only in one round, the seventh, did At
tell have lead
Attell brought the wrath of the big
crowd upon his head by foul tactics.
Time and again he would hold Kilbane's
arms in clinch and once in the eighth
he grabbed Kilbane's left arm with both
hands and tried to bend it back An
other time ne butted the Clevelander,
opening great gasH over hllDanes leIb
eye from which blood spurted profuse-
ly.
At the beginning of the 10th round
Referee Eyton stopped the fight, grabbed
a towel and thoroughly wiped off At
tells body. 1t was seen to be covered
with some greasy substance. Attell pro-
tested, but the referee paid no atten-
ton to him. Kilbane's work throughout
was a revelation even to his friends. The
odds were 10 to 4 against him.
The decision of Referee Eyton was
received with cheering and Kilbane was
carried from the building on the shout
ders of his friends.
Attell tired. his face drawn and bleed
ing, left the ring alone. 81 had to stand
or it," he said. Il couldn't do any
better"

COUNT HOT FOR DUEL.
The Pope Forbids Nephew of Leo XIII
To Fight.

Rome, Feb. 23.It is reported that
Pope Plus will summon Count Pecci, a
nephew of the late Pope Leo XIII. to
the Vatican and make personal appeal
to him to abandon the duel TO which
he has challenged Prince Altieri.
Count Pecci is commander of the
Papal Palatine guard. Cardinal Merry
del Val, the papal secretary of state,
has already written a letter to the count
forbidding the duel and exhorting him
rot to cause deep sorrow to the pom
tiff.
The pope, 1t is said, fears that the
anti-clericals will, make capital out of
the quarrel The trouble between Count
Pecci and the prince arose over an all
tercation at cards. The count lost heav-
lily and got into heated discussion with
the prince. The latter slapped his face
and the challenge followed.
The papal prohibition has caused the
arrangements for the duel to be sus-
pended, but Count Pecei still insists on
fighting. He declares that his honor
has been compromised and that I'M
less the duel is permitted TO take place
he will resign his command of the
papal guards. Friends of both parties,
however, are hopeful of bringing about
a reconciliation.

YALE FRESHMEN
EASY WINNERS
Against Sophomore In Annual Wash
ington's Birthday Glass Scrap on
Yesterday.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 23.-Yale
freshmen swamped the sophomores II
sea of mud in their annual Wash
ington's birthday rush yesterday. The
classes fought their traditional fifteen
minutes clash about the campus fence
Immediately after chapel, and Field

elared 1915 an easy winner.
The sophomores, according to Yale
rush traditions, are entitled to the fence
at the start OF hostilities and the
swarming freshmen stormed the strong
hold of members of IA, who, wearing
dilapidated beavers and carrying bam-
boo canes, tried to beat the freshmen
as they essayed to rush the "sophs'
from the rails
The freshmen struck their class rivals
with a flying wedge that split every
cane into splinters and landed every
tall hat in the mud The freshmen, out
numbering IA two to one, easily seized
the fence, but the sophs ruthlessly
tore the invaders from the rails. One

two classes wallowed in the mud in their
struggle. Ketcham, the varsity foot
ball centre, and Stub Marting, the
tackle, ripped freshmen railholders in
quick succession into the non-eombatant
neutral zone, while Pompelly, Osborn
and Thaw, the last named Harry Thaw's
nephew, members of the freshmen eleven,
stuck to their ground and held the
fence by elawing off incessant "soph"
attacks. According to the rush rules,

Made Big Demonstration in the
Chamber of Deputies
WHEN WAR WAS MENTIONED
Everybody Stood and cheered When
Speaker Marcora Expressed Greet
ings for Soldiers Fighting
in Tripoli.

Rome. Feb. 23.-The italian chamber
of deputies rcvpened yesterday with a
large attendance both of deputies and
spectators, the latter including Thorn

He is supposed to be in Rome as The
representative of the young Turks, in
order to ascertain the real situation in
Italy and to find out in an unofficial
way on what terms peace between Tur-
key and italy might be concluded.
When Giuseppe Mareora, the speaker
of the chamber of deputies, in spirit
cd speech expressed the greetings of the
deputies to the Italian soldiers and sail
ors who are fighting in Tripoi, there
was hurricane of applause in which
the public joined heartily, everybody

deputies as the fathers" of the cham
Der and his words caused fresh out
burst of enthusiasm among the pub
lie.
The manifestation reached its great
est height when Giovanni Giolitti, the
premier, presented the royal decree pro-
claiming the annexation Of Tripoli and
asking the house to transform it into
law.
Gen. Paolo Springardi, minister for
war, and Admiral Pasquale Leonardo
Cattoliea, minister for marine, thanked
the members of the chamber for their
manifestations of honor of the army
and the navy and the speeches were
greeted with q new ovation.
The premier and the other members
of the cabinet left the chamber to pro-
coed to the Senate and were objects
of warm demonstrations from the great
crowd which had gathered in the street.
When the war with Tripoli was men
toned in the Senate, Giuseppe Manfredi,
the president of the Senate, arose and
started singing the words of hymn
to the brave sons OF Italy fighting on
the African coast. All present joined in
the refrain.

assemble in large numbers to correct dis
| turbances caused by abnormal outbreaks
OF plant and animal life. Suppressing
outbreaks of insects by large foeks of
birds are plainly evident, but the daily
work of the individual bird everywhere
in preventing undue increase of insects
is also an important fact of nature. The
digestive organs of birds are SO equipped
that they can contain and dispose OF 4
large quantity of food. The whole di.
gestive process of a robin lasts about an
hour; crow, one hour and half. So
the stomach is filled ten or fifteen times
during summers day. Therefore It
takes an immense amount of insects to
satisfy the hunger of birds, both old
and young. A young bird win eat one
half of its weight in one day.
II is estimated that insects destroy
one tenth of the value of all farm prod
ucts annually. This is conservative es-
innate. If this is So then insects de-
stroy SS00,000,000 worth of farm prod
ucts each year This amount is said to
be greater than the capitalization of all
the national banks in the country.
1t may surprise some farmers to learn
that hawks and owls are on the whole
beneficial to agriculture, doing more good
than harm. The department of agricul-
ture at Washington is authority for this
statement. The only two exceptions are
the Coopers' hawk and the sharp-skinned
hawk. The safe rule to go by is to
shoot only those hawks caught in the act
of killing poultry, and not to shoot all
hawks Unfortunately.
Woodpeckers and chickadees are very
beneficial to the farmer and orchardist,
destroying the insect enemies of the
trees. The down woodpecker and chick
adee are especially helpful to the forest (
ry interests of our state. These birds
destroy the pine weevil that injuries and
cripples the white pine trees, stunning
their growth and causing crooked trunks.
Robins, sparrows, warblers, meadow
larks, and in fact all birds, with two or
three exceptions, give first aid to the
insect injured crops of the farmer. The
birds are the farmers friends and help
ers, and should be protected and encour-
aged by him. If all the birds were
suddenly wiped out of existence, the
land would soon be overrun with insect
and rodent pests. Plague and pestilence
would result, finally destroying all crops
and vegetation, and in the end man him.

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST USE CASCARETS
What Glasses are to Weak Eyes, Cas-
carets are to Weak Bowels 1e-
cent Box Will Truly Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they suf'
fer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural 1t is just as nat
ural as it is for old people to walk slow
ly. For age is never so active as youth
The muscles are less elastic. And tho
bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak Dyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at all
ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity, But lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the old
need is gentle and natural tonic. One
that can. be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic is Casearets
and they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while you

COMING INEVITABLE.
So President Mellen Considers Grand
Trunk Proposition.

Boston, Feb. 23.--At the hearing be-
fore the upper New York public serv-
ice commission on Monday, on the petit
ton of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford road for permission to ac-
quire the stock of the Rutland road,
President Mellen was willing witness
and told the commission without hest
tation why he desired the road.
The Rutland road, Mr.. Mellen said,
would be valuable as against the en-
croachments Of the Grand Trunk rail-
way. He regarded the proposed ex-
tension of the Grand Trunk into New
England as inevitable, but that the New
Haven would be in much better position
if it had line it could use instead Of
the Central Vermont, The Rutland, he
said, would be strengthened by the deal
mere than any other line.

lessons from Western Agriculture t

Edison, u S. Department of
Agriculture.

One of the most striking contrasts
which attracts the attention of the New
Highlander on his first visit to the far
West is the difference in the mental
attitude of the people. 1t has become a
habit with the western men to make
the most of their new surroundings, and
many of their successes are the direct
result of the energy and courage fostered
by their attitude. Eastern men trans
ferred West find themselves facing new
problems and difficulties, often greater
than those of the East. Partial or COM
plete failure is the usual result of their
first ventures, but the rebound with
which they recover for new attempt
is constant inspiration to themselves
and their community. Failure is word
unknown to their vocabulary. Temporal
ry reverses only teach them how to avoid
mistakes, but do not dissuade them from
their purpose. The truth of the matter
