morrow nights the fastest. flash
lest boxer that Atlanta has seen in
moons He demonstrated it yes
terday afternoon at the Armory
when he worked out with four of
the cleverest boys in Atlanta and
showed them up for a lot of Rubes.
Russell had not been in Atlanta
two hours when he turned up in full
regalia at the Auditorium, ready for
anything. At the telegraphic re-
quest of his manager. a serried ar
ray of sparring partners was lined
up, waiting for them. He took them
on. one at a time-though he could
have handled the whole bunch at
once, and hammered them fiercely.
Such dazzling speed as Russell
showed has not been equalled in
Atlanta in moons.
This Russell has an awful left
jab, bone-breaking affair that ne
follows up with a straight right
hand to the stomach. He doubled
up all his sparring partners with
it yesterday, and he will make
Whitney open his eyes, and maybe
close them again, when it is I'M
loosed tomorrow.
Russell seemed just as good de-
fensively as Extensively Kid
Young, of all the boys who faced
him, landed at all, and the Kid
didn't do enough damage to muss
up a paperweight. The rest of
them jabbed and hooked away at

Russell is one of those excep-
tionally clever boys who pick off
the punches before they start-as
that past master of boxing, Packey
Mcfarland. does. And Packey him
self could not do it any more cleV-
erly than Russell. He seems to
know exactly when a blow is com
ing and just how to place a glove
so that it never gets under way.

State Department clustered
Over lnsistent Demand for
Racial Equality.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. THE
insistence of Japan on the prompt
settlement by the state department
of the questions affecting the ma
tional honor of Japan has caused a
renewal of the worry of the admins
tration over that issue.
Japan repeats her demand that ra-
cial equality be settled for all time. re-
asserts the violation of the treaty of
1911 with vehemence and persists in
her contention that the treaty of
1911, like all other treaties between
sovereign states, is paramount to the
statutes of a state
This question has been renewed
with ominous interest at the depart
ment by the totally unexpected news
that Japan was now launching new
note in the form of Japan's ideas of
what a treaty between the United
States and Japan should contain.
This came after Ambassador Chinda
made three fruitless efforts to get a
reply to the former note, which was
allowed to await the return of John
Bassett Moore.
1t is learned, nevertheless, that
Japan has Incorporated in her new
note or draft of treaty an unequivo-
cal declaration of the equality of the
japanese and American races.

Prosecutor Makes Strange
Move Before AdmiraI's
Widow Goes on Trial.

BINGHAM, Mass, Oct. 2.--Several
new witnesses were heard when the
inquest into the death of Rear Ad-
miral Joseph Giles Eaton WAS re-
sumed today. These were Mr.. and
Mrs John Hits, neighbors of the
cations at Assinippi; f. S. Aiger, OF
Rockland, newspaper man who had
an interview with the widow soon
after her husbands death, and
woman nurse who attended the naval
officer in his last days. Other wit
nesses heard were Herbert Simmons.

clerk in a store at Assinippi.
The move of District Attorney Bar
ker in reopening the inquest twelve
days before the date set for the trial
of the widow, Mrs. Jennie May Eaton.
on a charge of murder was not made
known.
Admiral Eaton died of poisoning on
March 8, and the inquest, held soon
afterwards, was interrupted by the
arrest of Mrs. Eaton, who has since
been in Jail at Plymouth. She is ac-
cused of having placed poison in her
husbands food following a series of
domestic quarrels. 49, e'-'' +
From the first Mrs. Eaton has pro-
tested her innocence, and though the
plan of the defense has not been dis
closed, it had been limited that an
attempt would be made to show that
the admiral died from an overdose
of tonic drug which it is claimed he
had been in the habit of using.
