Jim Buckley Says
Gunboat Smith Can
WaIIop Black Sam

..EW YORK. Sept 22.-There has
been so much criticism over the
matching of Gunboat Smith with Sam
Langford that Jim Buckley. who
pilots the Gunboat to the surface. is
setting peeved over the uncompn-
mentary remarks.
I. 7 got this match for Smith" said
Buckley today, because I am sure
that he can whip Langford. Smith is
younger by many years than the tar
baby, who can not live forever. Porly
Flynn knocked Langford down for a
count in Boston recently, which
means that Smith will put the coll
ored man away If he lands.
Understand, Smith asked me to
get Langford because he knows he
can win decisively Langford will
find that he Is facing a greater
fighter than Jeanette, Sam McVey,
Jim Flynn, Barry and others he has
been in the habit Of beating
The Gunboat is taking on a rather
large order in the Boston tar baby.

There is a letter OF peculiar inter

1t was dictated to. and the body of
the letter is in the handwriting of
Alexander Hamilton. Sparks printed
a portion of the letter. but thought it
well to leave out the following por-
ton. in which Washington gives his
reasons for selecting Valley Forge
as his winter headquarters:
The enemy still remain in posses

by strong chain of redoubt with in
trenchments of communication from
Schuylkill to Delaware. We are post

Original Name Wa. washen.

Mr.. Joseph |. Keefer developed
some curious information on the an.
cestery of Gen George Washington,
In an address which he delivered before
William Gushing camp. Sons of Vet
erans. at Washington. Mr.. Keefer de
clared that President Washingto on 5
forefathers were not named Washing
ton at all. Their name was plain
Washen. In 1860 when John Washen,
President Washington's greatgrand-
father. sailed from the north OF Eng
land for the colonies and settled FOR
a new life at place called Pops. near
Colonial Beach. he revised his plebian
name of Washen for the more aristo-
cratic Washington. MIR. Keefer gave
a sketch of the deep researches which
led him backward over the branches
of the Washen family tree for more
than so generations. until he located
the original Washen at Cave Castle,
England. He had many interesting
pictures OF historical subjects, which
he displayed in connection with his
lecture.

So it will be seen that Washington
was influenced in going to Valley

but to save his fellow-citizens from
privation and suffering. Well may he
be called the good and great Wash

breadens the scope OF that act. While
original in plan the idea contained III
the measure is being endorsed by

A living wage is defined in the act
as "a compensation for labor sufficient

That young men graduates of the
