KILBANE DEFEATS ATTELL
OHIO BOY Is NOW THE FEATHER
WEIGHT CHAMPION.
Boxes Better and Is Quicker Than
Marvellous Veteran Who Has Held
the Title for So Many Years.
By n, M. Walker.

Los Angeles, Cal. - Able Attell,
brought to bay at last and forced to
extend himself to the very limit of
his ability and endurance, was deci-
sively whipped by the young Queens
bury whirlwind, Johnny Kilbane, here.
A championship reign of II years
standing was exploded when Referee
Charles F. Eyton, at the finish of the
twentieth round, grasped Kilbane by
the left wrist and hoisted the Cleve.
land boys arm in token of victory, a
victory that carried with it the title
of worlds 122-pound champion.
Boxing before the biggest crowd
that ever saw a ring contest in south
ern California, the featherweights
staged a sensational struggle in the
Vernon arena of the Pacific Athletic
club. 1t was a battle of brains as
we'll as of muscle. 1t was the finer
points, the scientific edges, that stuck
out from the opening bell.
Not knockdown featured the fight
Truth to tell, hard blows were few
and far between. Kilbane boxed bet
ter, knew more and was actually
quicker than the marvellous veteran
who has held the title for so many
years. Some idea of Johnny's great
superiority may be gained from the
fact that in one round-the eighth
the Ohioan drove Attells head back
with nasty jabs 16 consecutive times
without taking return of any kind
Four separate and distinct features
illuminated Kilbane's winning battle
for the championship. A straight left
jab, which he must have landed q
hundred times on Attell's mouth, nose
and eyes. A side-sweeping left, which
he famed to the champions chin com
ing out of the clinches. A short right
uppercut that ployed its way to Abie's
face whenever Johnny found his arm
free. Last of all, Kilbane's perfect
defense.

Letter From Governors.
The letter from the governors to
the colonel was as follows:

The letter from the governors to
the colonel was as follows:
Chicago, Feb. 10, 1912.
I'VE, the undersigned, Republican
governors, assembled for the purpose
of considering what will best insure
the conviction of the Republican
party as useful agency of good gov
ernment, declare it our belief, after a
careful investigation Of the facts, that
large majority Of the Republican
voters Of the country favor your NOM
ination, and a large majority of the
people favor your election, as the next
president of the United States.
I'VE believe that your candidacy
will insure success in the next cam
paign. We believe that you repre-
sent, as no other man represents,
those principles and policies upon
which we must appeal for a majority
and which in our opinion are neces-
sary for the happiness and prosperity
of our country.
1--WE believe that in view of this
public demand you should soon de-
clare whether, if the nomination for
the presidency comes to you unso-
licited and unsought, you will accept
it.
"In submitting this request we are
not considering your personal inter-
ests. We do not regard it as proper
to consider either the interests or the
preference of any man as regards the
nomination for the presidency We
are expressing our sincere belief and
best judgment as to what is demand
ed of you in the interests of the peo-
pie as whole. And we feel that you
would be unresponsive to a plain pub
lie duty If you should decline to ac-
cept the nomination, coming as the
voluntary expression of the wishes of
majority of the Republican voters
of the United States, through the ac-
ton of their delegates in the next
national convention.
Yours truly,

TELLS 7ALEOF MASSACRE
EDITOR SAYS cossAcKs HAVE
KILLED 5000 IN PERSIA.
Declares Poverty Forces Many Faith
ers and Mothers to Devour Bodies
of Their Dead Babes.

Washington, d. C.-More tragic
than Kishenev, more pitiless than the
Ireconcentrado camps of Cuba, more
oppressive than the Roman yoke is
the trail of Russia through Persia, ac.
cording to letter received in this
city from Tabriz. In this letter, writ
ten to narrate the events that have
transpired since w. Morgan Shuster
was driven from the country he tried
so heroically to save, the editor of a
Democratic newspaper whose prop
erty has been seized and who Is
threatened with exile, pleads that
merciful America come to its aid lest
the whole land perish beneath the
Cossack torch and saber. A portion
of the letter is presented here:
"As to Persia since Mr.. Shuster
has left-the news of this unfortunate
country is such that it is beyond my
power to describe. The conditions
are so sad that they even melt the
heart of a rock. Russian troops have
entered all the northern cities and
practically control and rule them.
"In Tabrlz the Russians hanged and
strangled 4b of the clergy and gran
dees. They also massacred over 5000
inhabitants including Innocent women
and children. They hold the northern
cities, ostensibly until the Persia gov
ernment should be able to send gov
ernors and soldiers to restore order.
The government has no money to
send troops and governors to the
north. The officials are stupifled. The
foreign intriguers are undermining the
peace of the country and manufacture
disorder in various parts. fhe post
is delayed on the roads and travels
ten days to cover the usual two days
ride.
"Brigandage is increasing, poverty
and want spreading everywhere.
Worse than all, faGl ne is devastating
the land and worked such havoc in
the city Of Varonjer that many of its
victums have been driven to unspeak-
able frenzy and starvation.
"In many instances fathers and
mothers have been found devouring
the corpses of their dead babies"

Deposits in Bank After Death.

Monticello, N. Y.-Nearly $1,S00
in old coins was ! deposited in
the Monticello Union bank by Miss
Cynthia Pintler. This represents the

draw from them, and when he died
a few months ago his relatives found
the box filled. in the collection are
many coins of ancient dates, among
which were large, old copper pennies,
2-cent pieces, 3-cent pieces, old nick
els, dimes and eagle pennies. Some

Washington, d. CAS- sordid and
tragic tale of the poverty Of labor

on the standard of living among south

Government Investigators selected
81 typical southern cotton mill fam

In almost every case these conditions

is met by an appeal to the loan shark.
"Over 81 per cent of all operatives

common occurrence to find the
mother and small children, evidently
insufficiently warmed, huddled about a
small fire in one of the rooms.
Measles, malarial fever, typhoid
pneumonia, skin diseases and tubercu.

are not healthy is shown by the fact
that every family studied was obliged
either to employ a doctor or buy medi.

own ills and are burdened with patent
medicines and cure-alls."
From their incomes the mill-work,
ers pay surprisingly large sums to
burial associations.
The -eport shows that the prison.
ers in the federal penitentiary at At.
lanta are better fed than the majority
of cotton mill families.
To meet the added demand of in

other child is sent to work, and so on
