Rivers-Wolgast Bout
To Be Great Battle

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 2.-ight-
weight Champion Ad Wolgast today as
serted with vehemence confidence in his
ability to trim Joe Rivers, whom he meets
in combat on July to defend his title.
Rivers is just as confident, and a great
fight seems assured. Wolgast, one of
the grandest champions of his day, is
pitted against the most dangerous 133-
round challenger that the game has
produced in years. These two boys re-
present mentally and physically the
highest standard in modern boxing.
Speed, cleverness and brains are to be
matched in a twenty-round contest.

the millions behind the machines
One nation is already awake to this
situation. England is working night
and day to solve the great question
of women in industry and we must
not think that we can avoid a ques
ton that will not be solved of it
self.
1--WE have constantly raised the
standard of living but we balk al
paying our women wage that will
enable them to live up to that stand
ard. Give woman higher wages and
she will raise the standard of living
for the race. Give her good wages
and she will leave the trades where
men ought to be and will find EN-
ployment more suited TO her.
Evil in Working Conditions.
Under present conditions the EN-
ployment of women is a menace to
the health. Not only is the health
of the workers ruined by long hours
and hard tasks, but the infant NOR
tally is great in districts where the
mothers must work in factories ant

the rate is three times the average
If the health is to be conserved
the country must take action. Man!
states prohibit night employment
for women. and more states will

Veterans of the Indian War of '62
Hold Banquet in Minneapolis

Memories of war of exceptional
cruelty which threw all Minnesota
into panic, which cost thousand
lives and which never would have
happened if automobiles had been in
vented fifty years sooner. We're re-
called last night by the survivors
of Captain Richard Strouts company
of volunteers who helped quell the
Of the forty volunteers who organ
lied on Bridge square and marched
to Acton, Mimi, with twenty pre-
viously recruited regulars. where
three of the men were killed and
seventeen wounded, were the honor
ed guests last night of the Center
Improvement association at the Mic
ollet hotel in commemoration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the war. The
hotel itself played role in that
war, for when refugees poured into
the city in the fall of 1862, telling
of Indian massacres, many fled to
the hotel, where they determined to
make stand if the Indians reached
Minneapolis.
Nine Reply to Roll Call
When the roll of Captain Strout's
company was called last night, just
as it was called at Acton the night
before the battle, nine men stood up.
AS they stood their comrades and
their hosts cheered them The men
who were at the banquet included
most of the survivors. They were:
J. Fl. Crandall. A. H. Ross. J. w.
hurry, James Marshall, w. c. Allan.
James Sweeney, A. c. Diedrich, De
Witt c. Handy and Milton G. Stubs
With them also was Charles H.
Sperry one of three scouts who made
their way through the Indian lines
through swamps and brush to inform
Captain Strout that he was sur
rounded.
The program following the banquet
opened with sketch Of the battle
by Marion p. Satterlee ,toastmaster.
Pictures Of the scenes of battle.
where Edwin Stone, Alyah Getchell
and George Gideon lost their lives,
were shown by Edward Bromley
while Mr.. Satterlee spoke. .
Captain Strout, United States re-
cruiting officer, was enlisting com
pany for the Civil war when the
Indians all over the state arose
against the whites. With twenty
men who had previously enlisted and
forty more who enlisted at once, he
marched to Acton, near Hutchinson,
and there, early on October 4. the
company was attacked by Little
Grow and his band. Three hundred
Indians charged the sixty soldiers,
who were forced to retreat into
Hutchinson and to the stockade.
AS the familiar scenes were shown
and the maps showing the line OF
march and battle formation were
described. by Mr.. Satterlee, the old
er guests remembered the incidents

"UneIe Billy" Speaks.
Then the guests listened with
special interest to the story Of
BILLY" Folwell, as they knew him
or "Uncle Billy" as thousands Of
former students Of the university
where he was once president, knew
/ him, who told of the events that lee
up to the outbreak He said that
the treaties of 1851, in which the
Indians sold their rights to certain
lands along the Mississippi and Min.
nesota rivers, were never satisfactory
to the Sioux, and that when they
saw the state weakened by the
withdrawal of troops from Fort
Ridgley and the sending of the
young men of the state to the Civil
war, they thought the time was ripe
for an attack. DR.. Folwell gave the
history of Indian troubles from the
time the soldiers were first sent to
Fort Smelling in 1919 to protect the
fur traders.
Former Governor S. r. Van SAINT
former commander-in-chief of the G
A. R., responded to the toast. "TO
the Dead saying that the greatest
honor the younger generation could
do to the survivors would be to
emulate them in their sacrifices to
the country.
Says East Misunderstood.
Edward Bromley told of the situa-
ton as it was viewed in Connecti
, cut, where he lived at the time OF
the outbreak He said the resi-.
dents of that state believed the In
dams had been wronged in some
way and did not understand the
perilous position of the state when
the little company went out to
help put down the uprising.
J. II. Crandall, one of the surviv.
ors, spoke of the results of the
quelling Of the rebellion and how
/ Minnesota had forged ahead all dur
ing the war in spite Of the hard
ships she had to bear with two con.
fliCts on her hands.
Many participants in other Indian
battles of the same war were also
guests of the association. The fight
in which Strout's company particle
pated was but a small part Of the
war, and many veterans of other
battles were there. Captain w. II

diers' Home, and Major w. d. Hale
