terday at the Morrison hotel between
Tom Jones. manager of ex-Lightweight
Champion AID Wolgast. and Charley
Cutler. manager of Jess willard the
former failed in his attempt to take
the big fighter under his managerial

wanted to look after his business.
Jones submitted several PROPOSE

interest in the fighter and also offered
to be Cutters partner in the manage
ment of the big Kansan. Cutler asked
for few hours to consider the offers.
The pair met again three hours later.

had a long conference and agreed to
go along as they had started. The ul-
timatum was delivered to Jones, who
took II in the best of feeling. Cutler
then told Jones that the latter should
have first consideration If he later

SMART SPORTING COATS.

Doncaster coats of black and white ribbed surface Stoteh mixture are the smart thing in sporting wraps. When in blocked material the more pro- nounced the blocking, the more know ing looking and the same is true of the striped patterns. Either design Is made into a single breasted, three quarter coat with a waist deep round ed hood, extended from the back of broadly turned over collar, which buttons snugly under the chin into a. 26-inch Russian blouse and into a 36 inch Norfolk jacket having two box plaits set into a deep yoke at pack and front. The three-quarter coat is the most practical for country club use as it may be worn for numherless daytime occasions, the Russian blouse is very youthful looking and easily carried or packed, while the Norfolk jacket, less generally useful than the long coat and more cumbersome than the blouse is more typically British than either. It is the sporting wrap most affected by the athletic, fresh complexioned English gentlewomen encountered on the roads round about bennington, Warwick, Stratford -on Avon and Doncaster and it will be the favorite sporting coat this summer at Newport, Bar Harbor, Seabright and Southampton.

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

It was realized that when President Wilson was sought for an address av the great reunion at the Gettysburg battlefield that 1t was a task of no ordinary importance in view of the utterance of the immortal Lincoln a the same place, yet it was an occasion at which the absence of the president of the United States would have been most unfortunate. President Wilson therefore realized his duty undertook it and performed it well. That he was in competition with one of the master pieces precluded his handling the sub- ject in any such manner as that of the famous address. but his speech in a comparison of the duty of patriotism half century ago and today was worthy one. It was an occasion of re- union It was neither place nor time for arousing the feelings of one sec ton against the ether but to further cement the bonds which the reunion had united.
 It was the lesson from the past for the conquest of the future which the president gave to his hearers when he said The day of our countrys life has but brcadened into morning. Do not put uniforms by Put the harness of the present on. Lift your eyes to the great tracts of life yet to be con- quered in the interest of righteous peace, of that prosperity which lies in a peoples hearts and outlasts all wars and errors of men,"
 It was 9 message not only to the vet erans assembled but to the people of this country.

rHE GOAL rAx.

What did Pennsylvania expect to do when it imposed the tax on ceal2 It Is reasonable to suppose that it was the intention to place the tax upon the corporations engaged in that bus mess, to come out of the earnings of the corporations, but such is not the interpretation which the coal com panies have given to it. In accordance with their policy that every outlay, whether 1t be for increased wages, strike expenses. increased freight rates or a tax on the production, must not decrease their net earnings they are holding to their oft repeated conten- ton that this tax must come out of the pockets of the consumer. Tn other words it is the hard coal using people of this country who must assist in the support of the state of Pennsyl- vania by paying this additional tax, and the coal barons go on as usual un- touched.
 This is condition which the legis- lature should have realized before the passage of any such tax bill. It is but natural that it should call forth much indignation. It is but another glaring act which calls for regulation of the coal producing companies the same as the government has placed upon the railroads through the interstate com merce commission. This is only one of the many means taken to gouge the buying public. It is hastening the day of new legislation for the supervision of the coal companies in the interest of the consumer.
