GRIMM WINNER
 SECOND MATCH

The second wrestling match be- tween Nels Jeps Il, of Ester. and Polly" Grimm, of Seattle, resulted in victory for the latter. the first two minutes and the second in eight minutes.
 In the first match held couple weeks ago Grimm undertook to throw Jepson twice inside of an hour but failed to throw him at all in that time. The match Monday night was the natural tutgrowth of the first one and a side bet was made of $250 that one or the other of the two was the better man.
 It would not have looked we'll for Grimm. after having failed to throw .his man in an hour on the first oc- casion to have done the act in any less time at the second bout, conse- quently the first fall was taken in two minutes over the hour. although many present were of the opinion that the trek could have been turn ed any time that the big man saw fit to end the struggle To bear them out in this contention the sec ond fall was taken in eight minutes.
 That Grimm was too much for Jepson was evident just as soon as the former decided to exert the strength he had When he thought it time to end the game it was notic- ed by those present that his muscles became as solid as iron and almost Immediately afterwards his opponent was at his mercy.
 The preliminary to the big game Monday night was between Howard Logan and Fred Pauli, the former proving himself much the cleverer of the two by taking two falls in five and a half minutes. Logan had a considerable advantage over his opponent in weight.

Asks for Alaska Same

He points out to them that in addition 10 the other taxes paid by Alaskans the one per cent on the gold output of the country would cripple it ma terially. and asks that Alaska De given the same consideration as Porto Rico.
 The follow ng is the letter in full.
 Washington. D. C.. Aug l.. 1913 Ny dear Senator
 The income tax provision in the tariff bill will rk peculiar hard ship in Alaska
 In the general sense, the people there have no income. There Is no accumulated wealth there. which, from profits. interest or rents pays the owner an income. An Alaskans income Is generally the difference between the gross amount of the out put of his mine and the amount he has paid to the merchant and la rers during the year This df- ference is his wage for years work in the mine
 Transportation into that distant and almost inaccessible region takes fifty per cent of the entire output of the mines and thus s10.o00 income is only one-half as valuable as the same income in the States One per cent tax there would be equal to two per cent in the States, and more. Such tax added to other burdens which already exist will shut down many mics.
 Of course, an income tax must be uniform. and l realize that nothing

SCOTLAND YARDS SLEUTHS EASY
 :" HOODWINKED"

LONDON. Aug l9-It is so easy for the suffraeettes to hoodwinh Scotland Yard that the women are wearying of the sport
 The latest case is that of Ewry Clayton. The police were after Ew- ry, who was critically i'll. and to make sure he should not escape, they posted detectives to guard his house night and day. As soon as he recovered sufficiently to walk abroad he was to be gathered in
 Every day members of the suffra- gette organization visited the Clay ton cottage bearing fruits, jelly and flowers for the sick man. The police felt secure as they saw the suffra- gettes come and go they would get their man on his recovery.
 Finally, the visits of the women ceased. The police, wondering, drew their ranks closer and finally enter ed the house. Ewry was not there, but in America. The house was filled with flowers, fruits and jelly, enough to last Mrs. Clayton for weeks to come Ewry had slipped away and taken a steamer a fort night back. and the daily visits of the women were simply blinds.
 The suffragettes took all this trouble for Clayton because he is the chemist who was sentenced to penal servitude on charge of criminally conspiring with the members of the WOmen's Social and Political union in that he supplied them with ex- plosives for some of their arson out rages. He went on hunger strike" and was released under the provi- sions of the Cat and Mouse bill" He went home ill. and Scotland Yard was watching to rearrest him when the women's ruse was put into such successful operation.
 The leaders of the militants de-
  clare they did not desire the sacrifice of mans life in their cause and, when they were informed by his physician that a return to jail would probably result in Clayton's death, they persuaded him through the me- diation of his wife to leave the country. They will not say where he is. contenting themselves with stating that he is safely located at least 5000 miles from London.
 The payment of fine by Miss Zelie Emerson, when she was arrest ed for assaulting the police in con- nection with Sylvia Pankhurst' s Downing street riot, has caused the American suffragette to lose caste with some of the ruling powers. and it is said that only her close friend. ship with the Pankhursts saved her from being disciplined by the war cabinet of the w. s. P. U.
 A number of the militants asserted that in refusing to go to jail. Miss Emerson gave the impression to the public that the morale of the fore front of the fighting line of the or ganization was weakening at the very moment it was straining every effort to nullify the effects of the Cat and Mouse" bill.
 The Michigan girls first term in jail, when she was forcibly fed, was the result of raid she made with of Bow and Bromley, since which time she has enjoyed a close friend

uIe Ready to Report.
PRESIDENT Pa $50 APPROVES ]|' Plan ? IA
Proposition Calls for System Of Eight
Regional Banks Under Control
:. Of. Federal Reserve Board.

/. Washington, Nov. 1.-THE admin.
sistration currency reform bill, as It
probably will go to the senate with
the approval of of%President Wilson, has
been completed by six Democrats Of
the senate banking and currency com.
mittee. @
Senator Hitchcock and the five Re.
publican members of the committee
continued to write into their draft Of
the measure amendments of which
the White House has disapproved.
s. AS completed the Democratic meas.
ure provides for a system Of eight
regional banks, to be capitalized by
enforced subscriptions from the ma
tional banks of the country, with un-
i limited powers of rediscount and cur
rency issue and the power to hold
reserves, the entire system to be un-
der the control of federal reserve
board.
The Democrats cut down the feder-
al reserve board from nine, as fixed
by a former vote of the committee, to
seven, as originally fixed in the house
bill. r.
Six to Be Appointed.
The secretary of the treasury and
six members to be appointed by the
president would compose the board.
Each member would hold Office for
six years at a salary Of $4,000 a
year.
The Democrats eliminated from
the redemption section of the bill the
provision that the new currency
should be redeemable in lawful
money" as we'll as gold:
The Republicans rewrote the re.
discount section to provide that any
member bank with eligible paper
might obtain, as matter of right, re-
discounts up to an amount equal to
it's capitalization.
The Republicans said they would be
unable to present their final draft OF
the bill before the end of next week
and that they would hardly be ready
to report before week from Monday.
The Democrats, however, are anx'
ious to get the bill before the senate
and it is probable an agreement will
be reached to report it shortly.
