SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Frank
Klaus and Jack Dillon. two OF the claim
ants of the mlddlewelght championship,
Will clash tomorrow afternoon at Cof-
froth's DAILY City arena in The most inn
portant of the elimination contests. The
two boxers are on edge and each is con-
fident of scoring decisive victory
While neither says much. 1t can easily
be seen that there Is not much friendly
feeling between them and when the gong
rings the fur should fly,
This contest promises 10 be one OF the
best middleweight fights ever staged by
Coffroth. The boys appear to be well
matched and each is capable of taking a
lot OF punishment.
An the trouble I'm klauss right hand
has disappeared and Frank Will be able
TO use this member TO its best advan-
tage. In the bout with Sailor Petroskey.
klaus's right hand bothered him con-
siderably. and lie was not able 10 show

said Klaus today. ''Of course ! do not
look for an easy fight. as | consider
Diilo very close TO the top OF the heap in
the middlcweight division. / am going 10
Try 10 win from the tap OF the gong.
Dillon Is clever and fast and ] will likely
experience some trouble in getting TO
him In the early rounds. but I'll get him
and get him good tomorrow.
Dillon had little 10 say about his pros
poets Il hope 10 WIN" said Jack. II

Existence was glorious and vigorous
in those spacious days Of Elizabeth,
as We all know; and one fact stands
out clearly from every page of his
energy and thoroughness
with which all things were done. Men
faced mental problems and practical
difficulties with antique Roman conf
dence in themselves and their power
to conquer; n Y e more striking is
the way in which they prepared them
selves for h business OF life. Surely,
n thinks, they meant to live forever.
At SO or 60 your buccaneering adven-
turer esteemed himself still a young
ma and went forth gayly to fresh
exploits Of murder and robbery or
honest warfare; the student labored at
his books to the last as if he were
content simply to go on ripening or
could carry his learning into the next
world and use it there. This fearless
ness n unQuestioning faith in the
continuity n eternal usefulness OF
life permeates the work Of every man

lawful nor Impossible for teachers IN
Il distinctly religious Farb to do non
sectarlan teaching. Il makes as De-
tween denominations Interested that
only secular teaching be given. for
more apparent equality of treatment
not TO increase or to d TO those now
in the service who wear a religious
and UNCONVENTIONAL garb. Those rep
resentins the denomination of the

claim any intention OF submitting any
more such teachers for examination
as eIigibles under the civii-serVlce
rules. No order or rule, therefore.
seems necessary to carry this purpose
Of the secretary into effect.
The action of the secretary Of the
interior is to maintain the status quo
by refusing to revive the order which
was revoked, and by retaining in the
service those now engaged in teach
ing. although wearing a
religious garb, but to declare his in
tention strictly to pursue the policy
hereafter of maintaining only nom
sectarian teaching by government
teachers in government schools, and,
on the other hand, to leave to the va
rious denominations interested, full
opportunity, out Of regular school
hours in the rooms Of such govern
nent schools, to conduct religious
education according to the customs
and the tenets OF each denomination
for the children, who themselves or
through their parents have elected to
become members Of such denomina-
ton. This solution, it seems to me,
is very equitable as to existing condi-
tons. is quite in accordance with the
purpose OF Congress, and ought to
satisfy all persons In interest Of the
purpOse of the interior department. to
do equity and at the same time to
carry out the congressional intent.
The action OF the secretary Of the
interior is, therefore, approved.
