: LATEST BASEBALL
BoXING-ALE THE
Inquest Over Mccarty Today
Burns Arena Destroyed.


of Luther McCarty, heavyweight |
champion, killed Saturday in a fight |
with Arthur Pelkey, will be held this |
AFTERNOON at Calgary, Alberta. The |
verdict will determine whether Pei
key, the promoters and the referee
will be held responsible for the pugi- |
lists death, and whether they shall |
be prosecuted. Pelkey has already |
been arrested and is under $4,000 |
bail. Fighting is not legalized in Al
berta.
Absolutely no blame can attach to |
Pelkey or the officials, though they |
may be legally held. The fight had |
not gone far enough to develop any |
brutality, and McCarty's death was |
due more to his own physical weak |
ness than to blow delivered by his |
opponent. Contrary to the first opin- |
ion, McCarty was not killed by a
blow over the heart His neck was |
dislocated and this caused death. The /,
only blow PeIkey placed on McCar- |
tvs jaw was a right early In the bout. |
1t was light punch, but apparently |
McCarty's spinal column was weak
No official verdict has been given |
by the examining physicians. 1t is |
barely possible that McCarty simply |
collapsed. Certainly there we're no |
blows struck in the fight that would |
kill even an unframed man, unless he |
had some organic weakness.
Public opinion has turned against |
the fight game in Canada as a result |
of the fatality. Incendiaries last night |
burned Tommy Burns arena, and the |
scene Of the tragedy is completely |
wiped out.
Pelkey said today that he would |
never engage in another fight, and |
Billy Mccartney, McCarty's manager,
is completely broken up.
1t was an unfortunate tragedy. |
Legal blame may be fixed, but no one |
was morally responsible.

When the winter league season

but the eight runs his mates carved
out in the first had a lot to do with
his good showing. Seven runs be-.

Illinois legislature gave women the
ballot in all elections over which the
legislature has authority. The con-
stitution prescribes the qualifications
for voters in elections of state Off
GERS; but as it does not prohibit wo-
men voting for county and municipal
officers and presidential electors the
legislature is assumed to have power
to grant this privilege.
The press of the country comments
as follows:
Limited Woman Suffrage
Boston Globe: American suffra-
gists won notable victory east of the
Mississippi when the house of repre-
sentatiyes in Illinois, following the ex-
ample of the senate, passed a limited
woman suffrage bill by a vote of SO to
So. Mothers, sisters. wives and
sweethearts will have the right to cast
ballots for all statutory officers, In
GLIDING mayors and aldermen, also
presidential electors. They cannot
vote for governor without oonstitu-
ticnal amendment.
The Illinois fight was hard fight
to finish, and II is therefore pardon
able. as well as human, for the suffra-
gists to be elated over the result.
! Suffrage BY Amendment.
|, Los Angeles Express: The winning
of Illinois to the principle OF equal
suffrage, through the very recent pas
sage of bill granting as complete
| acknowledgements as was possible
| without amending the state constitu-
| tion,i is welcomed as the beginning OF
general collapse of the opposition.
1t even appears possible that the
full triumph of the cause may be very
greatly FASTENED as the result of a
general constitutional amendment
passed by, congress in the form OF
resolution ratified by the necessary
three-fourths of the states.
An Amazing Victory.
Cleveland Leader: OF all the vic
tories which woman suffrage has won
/ the most astonishing is the passage
CT a law in Illinois which grants equal
suffrage in all municipal elections and
| gives women the right to vote for
presidential electors.
| In view of the recent suffrage de.
feats in the adjacent states of Mich
] igan and Wisconsin, where the ad.
verse majorities we're very large, 1t is
an astonishing thing that the state
! dominated, in great degree, by Chica
go, should give women full municipal
suffrage without submitting that ques
ton to the direct vote of the people
In this respect the victory won fol
! equal rights at the polls is the most
remarkable ever gained by the adVo
Gates of woman suffrage. No one
could have guessed that Illinois would
be the first state situated east of the
Mississippi to let women vote for pres
/ idential electors.
/ In view of this record made by the
Illinois legislature 1t is manifestly un
safe to assert that any triumph Of
equal suffrage is impossible. Tam
many hall may yet espouse and cham
pion this cause. 1t may sweep Mil

Copeland began his work in Wailuku

sonally several of the young men and
women who have gone to Honolulu
and mainland schools, having brought
to themselves and their principal high
credit Under his able direction the
first high school department on Maui
was started in the Wailuku school
For two years he has been superVis-
ing principal of the Wailuku district
Under his efficient and watchful care
the educational work of this district
has greatly improved. 1t is certainly
true that the Maui schools will miss
him in his departure to the mainland.
Mr.. Copeland has been prominent
in the Order of Masons. having held
positions of honor He has also been
one of the trustees Of the Wailuku
Union Church. During his term OF
Office the handsome new structure
was erected. He has also been a mem.
her of the Maui Chamber OF Com
merce, and has taken prominent
| and helpful part in all movements OF
a popular or social nature dealing with
| the welfare of the community.
Mr.. Copeland is expecting to make
ARRANGEMENTS to settle in Southern

he has been looking over prospects
of various kinds. Just what he vii
