LOS ANGELES. Aug. a3-John

who was knocked out last night by
Jesse Willard. died today at the hos
pital, where an operation was per-
formed early today to relieve cerebral
hemorrhage. The surgeons who per-
formed the operation gave conclusion
of the brain as the cause of death.
Young was found TO he suerinc from
a cerebral hemorrhage produced b. a
violent fall to the canvas in the cinv-
enth round when Willard put him
down with a terrific right hook to the
jaw.
When he failed to respond to the
treatment of his second in the ring,
Young was placed in an ambulance
and rushed to a hospital in Los Ange-
les. An operation was prescribed for

SAIOONKEEPER TELLS OF NOTE
MADE DURING PENDING
LEGISLATION.

] WASHINGTON, August 23.--The
most damaging testimony yet brought
out against Representative James I.
McDermott, Democrat. OF Illinois, was
given before the house lobby inves-
LEGATION committee today by Hugh f.
Harvey, former president OF the
Allied Liquor Dealers association, OF
the District OF Columbia. Mr.. Har-
vey told the committee that while
the present excise statute for the dis
trict was pending in the house-hav-
ing passed the senate-McDermott
came TO him in apparent perturbation
of mind and asked him II he could
secure for him a loan Of $500.
The reason McDermott gave for
seeking the loan from the saloon man
was that the expense for his cam
paign for denomination in April.
1912, had been so heavy that he had
mothers home, and that $500 was
necessary to save 1t from foreclosure.
The loan, Mr. Harvey said. had been
made on note dated in September,
1912, for ninety days, al per cent.
Since the maturity of the note the
congressman had ignored all notices.
and the note remained az yet unpaid,
either as to principle or interest.
The witness was closely cross
examined by Chairman Garrett. and
later by Representative Cline, of In
diana, as to the possibility Of an un-
Outstanding between the saloon men
and McDermott. that the note was
not TO he considered q collectible debt.
This Mr.. Harvey assured the commit
tee was not the case.
The committee, despite rigid
examination of the witness, was un-
able TO establish any direct connection
between McDermott's borrowing and
the fact that stringent anti-iiquor leg
islation was pending in congress at the
time.
The testimony of Harvey, as to the
loan to McDermott, brings the total
amount of money which IL Is known
that he has borrowed from persons
/ interested in Legislation, up TO $500.

AND PRIZE FIGHTER
JIM JACKsON'S SPARRING PART
NER NOBLEMAN ADVENTU-
RER-HAS MANY TRADES

PARIS, Aug. 22.-The Folies Ber-
ceres, possibly fearing Jim Jackson's
powers of attraction. so soon after
Jack johnson. announced that Jim's
sparring partner on the stage Is
"Baronet Sir Arthur Cravan," who is
six feet four inches in height. is
twenty four years old. and a stalwart
Cravan is bona fide baronet, that his
real name is Lloyd Napier. and that
he is a nephew of the late Oscar Wilde,
who was Napier's mothers brother.
Napier was born in London and
attended many schools. at each of
which he soon expressed a wish to
continue his education elsewhere. He
started his business career at Birm-
ingham, but did not like the work, and
his mother supplied him with money
to go to New York. From that city
he went to California, where he picked
oranges. He worked his way as
fireman to Japan. where he studied
jiu jitsu. In the same way he worked
his way back to San Francisco, where
he became a bartender. Afterward
he got a Job as q snake charmer, for
which he disguised himself as an In
dian. He worked In a lumber camp,
and became a section hand on a rail-
road at Los Angeles. He drifted to
New York, where he borrowed $500
from friend and went to Munich.
He inherited 100000 when he was
twenty-one years old and spent it all
in Italy.
Napier went to Germany and be-
came a chauffeur. but was dismissed
in a week because he smashed a car.
He came to France and made tour
of the boxing booths of the pleasure
fairs and worked the halls as the regu-
lar boxers do. He attended the Sor-
bonnie between times. He Is now
earning 81 a night ard hopes to APP
pear in vaudeville In America. He
has published a poem entitled Main

return to the line smashing tactics
which ruled before the Introduction of
the forward pass.

changes in tho rules. There was a
good deal of line smashing for the
first month. but after that this sort
of game had seen It's best days
Teams which chung to the line
smashing game found their strength
used up during the first half. after
which they were unable TO cope with
the running game.
