San Francisco, July 10.-Joe Riv-
ers, not Ad Wolgast, should be the
lightweight champion today, if JUS
tice we're done.
This, in a word is the substance
of long signed interview with Geo.
Harting, the best known timekeeper
on the Pacific coast, who has tolled
the seconds in 1000 ring battles, and
which is printer here today.
"The present day timekeepers," says
Harting in his article on the Wolgast-
Rivers affair, "are not really time
keepers. They are simply bell-clang-
crs. 1t is the duty of the official
timekeeper to do the counting. The
referee has nothing whatever to do
with the counting out of a boxer The
rules are very clear on this point.
They provide that fallen boxer must
regain his feet unassisted. If the
man who is on the mat is unable to
arise before the timekeeper has tolled
off the 10 seconds he loses the con-
test.
80 far as the double knockdown
is concerned, and the claim that Welch
assisted Wolgast to his feet, if the
referee touched either man in an eff
fort to aid him that act alone dis
qualified the boxer thus aided. The
rules are explicit on this point"

 Mr. lobe takes the position that the state should protect its citizens from the operations or unreliable pro- moters of insurance companies, just as it protects them from unreliable companies, after they are organized and begin doing business.
 Mir lobe declared that some method of regulating the organization of in- suranee companies and curbing the operations of professional promoters. who keep for themselves a large part of the money paid by subscribers to the stock of the companies, should be provided. This can be best done, he believes, by giving the insurance department of the state supervision over Insurance company promotions

THE PRESIDENT
 AGAINST RECALL
Makes Speech in New York Striking at Legislative
 Ref0rmerS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 New 1ork.-On the eve of his three days visit to Ohio, his home state, President Taft spoke at the Waldorf Astoria to the Ohio Society of New York, delivering probably the most i'm passioned speech he nas made in many months, directed against the "nostrums of reform" and particularly aimed at the recall of judges.
 In the efforts that have been made to reform legislation in this country he saw much that was good. He saw the faults of government in the United States, and admitted that in trying to eradicate them much might be accomplished by the reformer But in the effort to make the judiciary responsive to every "whim" of the people, he saw destruction. He de clared the conservative element of the nation must eventually get to- gether to prevent a movement that would make the courts the creatures of popular will and might make the decision in every case accord not with the law. but with what ma iority of the people thought the law should be.
 They have a constitutional conven- tiop in Ohio." said the president, and l am told that one of the propo- sitions is to postpone judicial recall. Orators and statesmen are going up and down the country denouncing courts, pointing out their corrupt na- ture. The time is coming, in my Judgment, when the conservative peo- pie of this country who are in favor Of the eternal principles of justice and the administration so as to make them prevail. shall rise to meet these misguided supporters of an ut terly indefensible theory and end the agitation against the courts.
