McARTY WINS OVER pALzER.
Heavyweight Title Goes to Him When
Referee Stops Battle.


Referee Stops Battle.
Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 3.-Almest
helpless and so badly battered was
Al Palzer in the eighteenth round of
his scheduled twenty-round battle
with Luther McCarty on Wednesday
that Referee Charley Eyton stepped
in and declared McCarty, the new
worlds heavyweight champion. The
big New Yorker was nothing more
than a punching bag for the clever
and fast McCarty.
1t seems that in the resting spell
between the seventeenth and eight
zenith round. Eyton had gone to Palz
ers corner and consulted with Tom
ORourke as to the wisdom of allow
ing the lowaD to continue a target
for McCarty's smashes. McCarty also
had pleaded with O'Rourke. whenever
he found himself close enough to Palz-
ers manager to be heard.
DO you want me to kill him." was
the way McCarty put it as he bent
towards O'Rourke over Palzer's shout
der in the clinches.
When there was no sign of inter
ference on 0'Rourke's part after fight
ing was resumed, Eyton took the law
into his own hands in the manner de-
scribed.
1t is very likely that there will be
much controversy over the referees
act Seeing that Palzer's principal
stock in trade is his ability to assimi-
late punishment. anyone who backed
him will probably claim that the big
man from Iowa would have frightened
again and continued battling. il Eyton
bad kept aloof

WILSON SEES LUCK IN 1918.
Asserts Dozen and One" Brings Him
Good Fortune.

Princeton. n. j.. Jan. 3.--In speak
ing of the New Year Governor Wilson
referred to thirteen as running through
his life and always in connection with
some good fortune.
Many results were found by a little
group surrounding the president-elect
in combinations. by addition. multipli-
cation, or subtraction In producing
lucky numbers. The year of Cover
nor Wilson's nomination to the presl-
dent. produced thirteen by adding the
digits 1, 8, / and z. woodrow Wilson
contains thirteen letters. He was for
thirteen years a professor at Prince
ton, and was the thirteenth president
OF that institution. lie presided over
1900 students.

THEY WILL NOT RETIRE
PERKINS, FLIRN AND HANNA
CONTROL NEW PARTY.
Fight Against These Bosses Was Sup.
pressed in Chicago Conference
and Enthusiasm Was smoth-
cred at Same Time.

In Washington dispatch il was
said that the results of the recent con-
ference of the Roosevelt party were
not pleasing to the Roosevelt follow
ers at the capital. These men had
hoped that some sort of understand
ing would be reached whereby George
W. Perkins, William Finn and Dan
r. Hanna would quietly retire as the
active managers of the new party
Retire? Far from it. George W. Per
kins is more nearly the whole thing
even than he was during the cam
paign. And Hanna and Finn are still
in good standing. What effect the
continued prominence of these emf
nent reformers will have on the Arm
ageddon army is yet to be seen. We
are told that many Progressive sena-
tors, men who supported the Roose-
welt and Jolnson ticket, will have
nothing to 10 with the new patty as
long as Perkins, Finn and Hanna are
in charge OF the organization. Even
Senators Clap and Dixon are said TO
be wagering, though they are so faith
full that they nay stick"
Broadly speaking. however. there
can be no doubt that when the mrf-
fer was put on the platform scandal.
on threatened war on Perkins, and in
deed on discussion generally, it was
also put on any enthusiasm there may
have been for the new party. When
men set out to fight the bosses they
cannot use boss methods themselves
When they oppose the trusts, as the
Bull Moosers" did in their platform
before it was doctored, they cannot
put trust magnate in charge of their
organization Reformers must deal
fairly with the people, and show q
sincerity that is above suspicion.
Finally. if the people are to rule
they must rule the party with which
they are AFFILIATED. This they did not
do at the Chicago conference The
ruling was done by Roosevelt and Per-
kins. The program was their pro-
gram, and it was put through by the
usual road roller tactics. 1t is said
and Hanna will go on. But it is be-
lieved that it will be a losing fight.
We think it quite likely. Roosevelt
and Perkins are old friends and
chums. AS long as he is prompted by
desire to make this country a bet
ter place for his children to live in,
as long as he continues to be "prac-
teal idealist" we imagine that Per-
kins' position will be safe.

Taft win Fight in Ranks.

A DO mt of first Importance in the
declaration of Mr.. Taft is that he win
fight in the ranks and, shoulder TO
shoulder, do all in his power to re-
Heve the party of heresies and to re
vamp it as the conquering force for
effective nationaism that it has SO
long been and would yet be except for
the detection led by Mr. Roosevelt.
The country has not begun to exhaust
the resources of the Republican party
in it's behalf. and men like President
Taft are an incalculable asset to it at
a critical point in its history.
