TOMMY RYAN MADE HIS H0MEWHEREVER

Peerless Fistic Expert Moved About Country and Had
 Residence in This City

Prize ring history records very | few fighters like Tommy Ryan-few | who lasted half as long, and fewer yet who had his speed and skill. He was one in 10000, and when he left the game he left a gap, that hasn't yet been filled. Tommy fought all over the land, beat men in every district and yet hardly ever fought away from home
 Paradox? Impossibi-ity? Yes, and yet true. just the same. Tommy fought in twenty states and forty cities, and yet he did thfee-fourths 0 his boxing in his home town.
 Twas strange and thoroughly origl- nal, this manner in which Tor2-a Ryan managed always to be the homo rov a~d the native i1oI. Whe- evev h found a burg that promised good re- turns, plenty of easy matches, and population of enthusiastic fight fans he brought on his wife, and 'annou1ce6 that he would, henceforth and for yer, make that town his home 4 little later he would get a good chance in some other ci+y-and his home, his dear old ftreside, would be changed again.
 Tonmy started out at Syracuse. and as Syracuse Tommy Ryan the oder fans sti know him. He moved over or so after he started in the game and just before that fight, the Detroit pa pers announced that Tommy Ryan, the clever Syra cuse welterweight is

 Fine stuff. and the newt tinoe Tom ought the announcer said: Tommy -cyan of Detroit,' and all the M chi -snders cheered tremendously.
 Tommy made his home in this city for several years. It was as Bridge his notable battles. He used to train in the old Rarnum gym and also at John Bonds in St~atford and was ,f I,fez I,,n nT TFa and his keen eve for business. His battles with Mysterious Billy Smith will be long remembered.
 Then the ganne grew good in CNica- % and it wasn't long before the Chi cago papers said that ''Tomroy Ryan. one oe the cleverest men who ever Ionned the gloves. has rented a holse on the west side, and herefter will be e Chicago voter"

DeaI-DecIares Cabinet Members
Should Sit In Congress to
Aid Chief Executive.

New York, Nov. 19.-When Presi-
dent William Howard Taft steps from
the presidential chair next March he
will become just plain William H. Taft
attorney at law, of Cincinnati, o.
The president will return to his
home town and there take up the
practice of law which he left many
years ago to enter official life. Al
though the president will not enter
into partnership with anyone and
he SO stated to a group of friends
here, it is believed that his son will
be a partner in the presidents law
firm.
The president left here Monday, aft
er spending three days In the city, for
New Haven to attend the meeting OF
the Yale corporation.
While In the city President Taft
sang his Swan song" as chief execu-
tive Of the nation when he responded
to the toast THE President" at a
banquet Of the Lotus club. His
speech was considered by many OF
his audience as the, most remarkable
he has ever made.
The president earnestly advocated
the admission to the halls of congress
of members of presidents cabinet,
and declared six-year term in the
presidency was enough for any man.
He advocated the placing under civil
service Of practically every officer In
the government employ. He limited
broadly that congress should provide
for ex-presidents so that they need
not lower the dignity Of the position
they have held when they enter into
private life.
His humorous references to the bur
dens of the White House, to his sue
cessor and to Mr.. Bryan brought forth
round after round of applause.

SERvIANS CAPTURE MONASTlR
AFTER STUBBORN BATTLE
Losses on Both Sides Heavy In Three
Day Fight-50,00 Men Lay
Down Arms.

Belgrade, Nov. 20.-Any idea that
the Turkish government may have had
of benefiting by continued resistance
must be shattered by news of the fall
Of Monastir. In the capture of that
important town the Servians took
three pashas, including the command
er-in-chief, Zekki Pashe, $4,000 men
and AZ guns, thus achieving the great
est individual success of the war.
The fight for the possession OF
Monastir has been especially fierce
during the past three days. The de-
tenders of the city, realizing that their
line of communication with Ochrida,
on which they had intended to retreat
as last resort, had been cut fought
desperately until the commander of
the fortress saw the futility OF
further resistance and hoisted the
white flag
The losses on both sides have been
heavy. During the first days fighting
the Servians lost go killed and
wounded
Official dispatches do not give the
total losses on either side.
A private, but unconfirmed telegram,
received here reports that Scutari has
surrendered.
The representatives of Italy and
Germany called upon Premier Pach-
itch of Servia and informed him that
their governments supported Austria's
view against Servia's claim for an ex-
tension of her territory after the war.
, M. Pachitch declined to give definite
answer until after the war had been
concluded
London, Nov. 20. - The Ottoman

mand for the cession of all the Turk

Baptists Have New Bible

New York, Nov 20.-The first copies
of the newly revised edition of the
Bible published by the American Bap-
fist Publication society have reached
the society's headquarters in this city
The new edition is a radical departure
in it's construction from the language
used in the King James and the re-
vised versions issued 80 years ago.
In the new Bible the names Adam
and Eve do not appear. Their place is
taken by the words man" and "wo-
man." which is direct translation of
the old Hebrew names. The word
hell is entirely eliminated, the word
underworld" being inserted in its
place.

''BATHTUB' TRUST
DECLARED ILLEGAL
U. S. Supreme Court Unanimous
In Decision.
LOWER TRIBUNAL is UPHELD
Government Wins tho Important Yer
dict That Sherman Act Violations
Cannot Hide Behind Patent
laws.

Washington, Nov. 20.-In an epoch
making decision in the so-called bath
tub trust" case, the Supreme court
of the United States laid down the
broad principle that there can be no
monopoly In the unpatented product
of patented machine without violat
ing the Sherman antitrust law.
Justice McKenna delivered the
unanimous opinion of the court. He
said that rights conferred by patents
were extensive, but did not give uni
versal license against the positive pro
hibitions of the Sherman law.
The decision fully sustained the gov.
eminent in its fight begun over a year
ago against the bath tub and enameled
ware manufacturers.
The decision of the lower court was
upheld throughout as to the main de
PENDANTS and the Caldwell Lead com
pany, which claimed 1t was not en-.
gagged in interstate commerce.
1.-The agreement" said Justice Nc.
Kenna, clearly transcends what was
necessary to protect the use of the pa
tent or the monopoly which the law
conferred on 1t. They accomplished a
restraint of trade condemned by the
Sherman law"
1.-The added element Of the patent
in the case at bar cannot confer I'M
munity," he added. Rights conferred
by patents are indeed very definite
and extensive, but they do not. any
more than other rights. give an un-
usual license against positive prohi
billions. The Sherman law is limita'
ton of rights-rights which may be
pushed to evil consequences. and
therefore are restrained"
The Hght against the enameled ware
manufacturers was begun by the gov,
eminent in the United States district
court of Maryland, it being charged
that the fifty defendants named had
entered into combination to restrain
interstate trade in sanitary enameled
ironware and had attempted to monop
Ollie that trade.
