PaLzER FILES SUIT
Case Against Fight Commissioner
For Return of Money
Stirs Gotham. kEf

Boxing Commissioner Frank IS.
O'Neil was served with papers M a
civil suit for $500 brought by Albert
Palzer, the heavyweight boxer,
through his attorney, Nathan Vidaver.
O'Neil, when asked about the suit,
declared holly that it was based upon
a lie and was another Infamous
conspiracy 70 ruin the state athletic
commission 70 kill the boxing law,"
The suit will come up for trial in tie
New York city court next week. II
In his complaint Palzer sets forth
that on June 2S, when he was at log
gerheads with his manager, Thomts
f. O1Rourke, he made a verbal agree
ment with Commissioner O'Neil by
which the latter promised to secure "a
match for him with Jack johnson
to be decided in the garden on Labor
day, and that on June % O'Neil az
copied the sum of $500 for his sell
vices as an agent. Ill
Palzer goes on to allege that when
the boxing commission decided thai
Johnson could not take part in bolE
in the state of New York he asked
O'Neil to return the money and thai
his request was denied. Palzer alst
alleges that O'Neil engaged Bot
Armstrong as trainer at SIS week
and authorized him to visit Johnson
in Chicago to clinch the match.
Furthermore Palzer charges that
O'Neil induced him to prepare a
statement in writing that the COM
missioner never had received any
money from him for services as an
advisor.
When Nathan Vidaver, Palzer's at
torney, was asked about the sui. he
said: Commissioner O'Neil hasoeeN.
served with papers and we are Ding
to push the case to the bitter md.
In view of the fact that whe the
state athletic commission was dgan-
lied it was mutually agreed II bar
Johnson from boxing bouts nINew
York state, O'Neil's friends sail last
night that he couldn't have arrhged
a Johnson-Palzer match under lxist-
ing conditions.

WHAT PLUCK WILL DO.
story of How Dane Got His Start
viii Apply 10 Many Young
Foreigners.

young man sat on his pillow the
other day and modestly told the
story of a remarkable effort to get
a start in life under circumstances
/ less favorable than those of the
average men of these times. Con-
sent to print his name could not be
secured, but he is a real man and
here is what he has accomplished:
| Nine years ago 19-year-old boy, the
son of a Danish merchant of moder-
ate means, left his native country
without the knowledge or consent
of his parents or the state authorities
in order to escape military service
which had been assigned him. He
finally found himself in this vicinity
with a total money capital of SIS
and without any knowledge of the
English language whatever. He was
not long content to work for another
man either, but turned contractor
and hired some men. The checks
these men received were the first
specimens of the contractors Eng
lish penmanship. In the meantime
he was working on the language and
customs of this country fully as hard
as were his employees on the bitches,
and was soon as much American"
as anybody needs to be. Several
years ago he ordered the Times-Re-
publican and he has evidently read
it from the beginning. Two or three
years was enough thing experience
and the next venture was a wife and
farm. At this time he is working
a $40 acre place with one of the best
fQrnnin0 In, thi, Ac
an illustration of the way he farms
1t may be said that one forty of the
place he rented was so wet that
nothing could be grown on it in any
ordinary year. A deal was made with
the owner whereby the tenant did all
the hauling and boarded the men
and the owner furnished the tile and
paid for the digging. For the next
three years the tenant will have for
ty acres more land and after that
the owner will have his inning.
Now fellow like this always
makes some good friends and in this
case there is no exception. A for
mer employer from the Farmland
days furnishes credit when credit
is necessary and some highly profit
able deals have resulted. A few
weeks ago this Dane boy, who has
never received particle of aid ex-
cept in the manner already mention
ed, made a good substantial pay
ment one quarter section of land
at $50 per acre and has since been
offered $1,000 in cash for his bar
gain, which of course he refused. |
If you are going to have them
print anything about me I want you |
to put this one thing in" he said, |
'and that is that all this talk about |
a poor man or a beginner having |
no chance because rent and the |

Roosevelt and Reciprocity.

4 ing:
4 Anita, Ia, Sept. 1S.-Editor Cap
lital: What authority have you for
lstating that Theodore Roosevelt ever
stood for free trade with Canada?-
Farmer.
To our Anita interrogation we beg
leave to state that there is ample
authority" in support of the charge.
In less than two weeks before the
Canadian reciprocity treaty was sub
mitted by President Taft in it's final
form, the latter received a letter
from Theodore Roosevelt under date
of January II, 1911, which read as
follows:
Dear Mr.. President: | at once took
Your letter and went over it with
the Outlook editors. It
seems to me that what you propose
to do with Canada is admirable from
every standpoint. / firmly believe
In free trade with Canada for both
economic and political reasons. AS
you say, labor cost is substantially
the same in the two countries. so
that you are amply justified by the
platform. Whether Canada will ac-
cept such reciprocity l do not know,
but 1t is greatly to your credit to
make the effort. 1t may damage the
republican party for a while, but it
will surely benefit the party in the
end, especially if you tackle wool,
cotton, ETC., as you propose.
Just exactly one month later, Feb
ruary 1st, 1911, speaking before an
audience at Grand Rapids, at Lin
coins birthday observance, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
Here, friends, in Michigan, right
on the northern frontier, / have the
peculiar right to say word of con-
graduation to you and to all of us
upon the likelihood that we shall
soon have closer reciprocal relations,
tariff and trade regulations, with the
great nation to the north of us.
This is the same treaty which the
same Colonel Roosevelt told the
farmers assembled at the Minnesota
state fair few days ago was jug
arrangement"
Is our Anita friend satisfied with
the authority" cited?-Des Moines
