nice things about him. His engage
ment calls for four weeks, but he has
had alluring offers to continue his
stay there. In letter from Birm-
ingham, which is the home of Owen
Moran, the fighter, and John p. Cur
tin, the furniture salesman, Smith
says that Moran looks very we'll, and
that Bombardier Wells is training
there for fight. Jack johnson, Ben
says, got a very cool reception, and
seems to be "in bad with the sports
over there. Outside of carrying a
cane, Smith. from the tone of his
letter, is enjoying good health and
sends his regards to all his friends
in Newark.

In the candy factory of barrow e.
Reddin, 1877 Prince street, were thrown
into panic yesterday as they were
leaving for lunch when a man rushed
up to one of them, spoke few
words, and, as the girl repulsed him,
drew a knife from his pocket and
slashed her across the face and wrist.
AS the wounded girl, who was Mrs.
Iona Devito, a 17-year- bride, of
100 Elizabeth street, sank screaming
to the sidewalk, the man darted
away
The wounded girl told the police
that the man who had stabbed her
was Frank Vendro, of 16 Spring

former sweetheart. He had urged
her to take the afternoon off and go
out with him, she said. When she
told him she was married he stabbed

CLOTHIER SCORES WIN

SOUTHAMPTON, L. l., Aug. 12-
The annual invitation tennis tourna-
rnent of the Meadow Club began yes
terday on the club courts here. A
big gallery witnessed the preliminary
and first rounds which furnished
plenty of excitement for the sum-
mer colony of the district
Larned drew a default in the open
ing round, while Clothier was not
called upon to extend himself against
r. w. Seabury, who went down to
defeat in straight sets. G. f. Touch
ard found little difficulty in winning
from l.. Dupont Irving, although the
latter made a good fight in the sec
ond set. H. w. Slocum, the veteran,
was opposed by j. Larkin, but the
old-time player proved to be in ex-
cellent form and won in straight
sets.
william Johnson, the Californian,
was opposed by G. p. Dixon in the
opening round of the tournament, and
found his opponent n difficult propo-
sition in the first round. The school
boy struck his pace in the second set
and allowed his opponent only two
games.
w. M. Washburn, the Princeton
player, scored an easy victory over
f. N. Doubleday. although the latter
put up a plucky defense against his
doughty opponent in the first set.
The superior play of the Prince
tonian was in evidence in the second
set, and he carried his opponent off
his feet.
The failure OF F. B. Robinson to
appear against ]. S. Strachan, the
Western crack was big disappolnt-
ment to the gallery. With Robinson's
default, Strachan will play S. Miller
today, as the latter won from X.
Cook in the preliminary round.
f. c. Inman defeated F. T. Freling-
huysen in q hard contest and G. p
Payne, champion of Kansas, had lit
tie difficulty in winning his first con-
test in the East. George M. Church,
the Princeton crack, had an easy
time with F. Hyde, and won IN
straight sets.

DOCTORS ARGUE OVER
THE PILTDOWN SKULL

LONDON, Aug. ia battle of
professors over the famous Piltdown
skull, supposed to be the Oldest hui
man remains extant, was yesterdays
most piquant feature of the Inter-
national Congress, now in its second
week.
WAS the Piltdown man half ape
or 80 full developed human" was the
question at issue between Professor
Smith Woodward of South Kensing-
ton Museum, and Professor Keith,
of the Royal College of Surgeons,
both of whom have reconstructed
models of the skull from the frag-
ments unearthed on Piltdown COM
mon recently. Professor Woodward's
skull bears marked simian charac-
teristics, while Professor Keiths
skull is of much more higher de-
veloped type, there being a differ
ehce of 400 centimetres of brain space.

WATERS BAD TASTE SAVES
TWO TOTS FROM DROWNING

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE fact
that the water in Central Park Lake
did not taste good to them probably
saved the lives of Clara and Helen
Dupuis, of As West Seventy first
street, yesterday. Helen is 8 years old
and her sister Clara is 8.
The pair, with other children, were
on the bank of the lake at Seventy
sixth street, near the West Drive,
when Helen fell in. Clara, unable to
swim, tried to rescue her. and, locked
in each others arms, they went down.
Patrolman Curry, who was near by,
rescued them.
They were sent home in an automo-
bile driven by w. S. Monroe, of 14S
Hancock street, Brooklyn. Last night
they were out on the sidewalk, chip
per as ever.
The pair said the water tasted bad
and they kept their mouths shut.

effectiveness of this knowledge In Sc

topics before the convention of the

Some Results of Feeding Cattle In
the South" and J. J. Callan, of Men

aided the cattlemen of Texas.
President Combs in his address
declared the Southern farmer large
y holds the solution OF the high cost
OF living
Reduction of the present cost of
food supplies" he said, never will
be gained to any noticeable extent by
congressional investigation. The
Southern farmer must turn his de-
pleted and worn out fields, on which
we have grown corn and cotton crops
for years, into cattle pastures. 1t is
the South which produces the beef,
which the former ranches of the West
and Northwest gave the world"
The speaker declared that by rotat-
ing cattle and crops on Southern
farms, the farmers would not only
make money on the live stock, but
would enrich their lands, thus in.
creasing the yield Of cotton and corn.
