Should Not Be Thought OF.
Worcester. Nov. 20.-''Intervention
should not ever be thought of by the
United States" declared DR.. Nevin y.
Winter, author of several books on
Mexico, addressing the Clark univers1-
ty conference on Latin-America today.
From a standpoint of dollars and
cents" he added, lit would be cheaper
for Uncle Sam to reimburse all losses
sustained by Americans, than to incur
the expense that Intervention would
involve.
THE present disturbed condition In
Mexico is probably the final transition
the dawn of a new era. The par
oxysms now shaking the country in re-
bellions and treacheries. mean the re-
covery of Mexico ultimately to peace
and prosperity. A strong man must
arise, a leader of enough force of char
aster to draw the people to him. and
awe any opposing chieftain who may
wish to create trouble for his own per-
sonal aggrandizement.'

HURLEY WON MATCH.
Defeated Giant Wallace in Straight
FaIIs-Women Attended.

Two score of women witnessed the
beayvweight wrestling match between
Mike Hurley and Giant Wallace in the
City park air dome last night. the
contest was witnessed by large
crowd and Hurley won in straight
falls.
Giant Wallace is all that was claim
ed for him. He is six feet tall, has a
long reach and long limbs He out
weighed Hurley by at least thirty
championship of Kansas and mas nor
found any person who has been sue
cessful in defeating him.
Hurley came to Topeka from Chi
cago, where he has met many OF the
ton notchers and has had a large
amount of experience. He weighs
more than 200 pounds but is short
and heavy. This made 1t d1ff1cult Tor
Wallace and on the other hand, Hur-
lev was handicapped by Wa1lace's
height and length of arms and limbs
Hurley won the first fall In z8
minutes. Both men worked hard ana
were aggressive Both men caused the
fans to rise to their feet and applaud
on numerous occasions. Wallace had
Hurley in dangerous positions on a
number of occasions but the Chicago
man was successful in bridging or
breaking out of his trouble. Hurley
succeeded in pinn1ng wallace IN the
first fall with a head scissors and arm
lock-.
% minutes. This was accomplished
with a hammerlock and bar arm hold.
Both men used rough tactics but
neither violated any. of the rules of the
game. Wallace got a toe hold on Hur-
lev and the latter broke loose by
kicking his arm. They got numerous
headholds and attempted to work the
half and full Nelson but were not sue
cessful.
Both men showed marvellous strength.
Wallace has not had as much expert
ence as Hurley but was stronger and
these two points proved advantageous
to both principals.
Lewis Hoffman defeated Jack Woods
in the anti-finals and pinned him in
20 minutes. Woods shows improve
ment in the wrestling game and may
give up fighting and adopt the mat
game as a profession.

CHANGE YACHT STYLE.
New York Club Doesn't Want F1imsy
Crafts Formerly Used.

New York, May 22.-With almost
universal satisfaction prevailing III
yachting circles over the news from
London that the New York Yacht club
has accepted the latest challenge of
Sir Thomas Upton to race for the
Americas cup, gossip was busy re-
garding probable plans for the defense
of the trophy. While confirmation OF
the news was not forthcoming at the
New York Yacht club, the word is
generally accepted as true.
The greatest satisfaction is ex-
pressed that the coming series of races
will be held under the present rule of
measurement and time allowance. 1t
is freely predicted that with 75 foot
yachts designed under this rule good
seaworthy boats will be the result in
stead of the f1imsy racing machines
which participated in the last contest.
One result of this change, it was
said, will be a great reduction in the
cost of building and maintaining the
yachts, and this is expected to bring
about keen competition for the honor
of defending the cup. Yachting en-
thusiasts believe at least three and
perhaps four boats will be built, to
contest in the trial races. 1t is under
stood that two individual yachtsmen
will order rs foot boats. while it is
said the nucleus of a syndicate TO put
afloat another yacht has been in pro-
cess of formation for some time.

New York stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, May 22.-STOCKS-
Speculative sentiment improved today, al
though farther weakness was exhibited
by a few minor railroads and industrial
shares; the representative stocks, after
some heaviness, ruled slightly higher. The
fact that a good market existed for the
New York City bonds at par or better
was regarded as reassuring. Rumors of
forthcoming favorable developments were
circulated in connection with a number
of stocks but speculative interest too
small to permit of energetic bull move

Bonds were irregular.
The market gave a good exhibition of
strength in the early afternoon and be-
came decidedly more active on the rise.
Reading, Lehigh Valley, Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific were the strongest.
Low priced Copper shares were bought
heavily on rumors of dividend.
There was active selling of the leading
stocks at the opening today but offerings
were absorbed readily and the list held

THE HODGES PLAN.
Saturday Evening Post Reviews Legis-
Iative Commission Idea.

The Saturday Evening Post this week
devotes two pages to discussion OF
the plan advanced by Governor George
H. Hodges for a commission form of
legislature in Kansas. Will Payne,
whose stories have been one of the
Post features, came to Kansas two
months ago to visit Governor Hodges
and gather material for his story which
appeared this week.
A number of the eastern newspapers
and magazines have reviewed the
Hodges one house legislative plan, but
the Post article this week is one of the
most thorough discussions of the new
reform which has been published.
Payne believes that the Hodges pro-
position will grow in popularity In
the closing paragraphs of his story,
Payne illustrates the Hodges idea with
a Kansas and Topeka comparison. He
says:
Looking across the capitol grounds
at Topeka from the east windows of
the governors office, you see a ten
story steel and concrete building, new
and modern in every respect. A rail-
road built it, 1t was finished on time
and cost $3.50, 900. Beside it stands a
three story building, covering about
the same ground space and of much
the same general style Of construction.
The state is building it. Already $780,
900 has been spent upon it. The last
legislature appropriated $175,000 more;
and when finally completed, it will pro-
badly cost half a million.
This is not graft, but bad manage
ment-a confused. painless, intermittent,
spasmodic method. Why should not a
state be as businesslike as a rai1road?'
asks Governor Hodges. But, of course,
it never can be until it has the same
sort of consolidated, systematic, con-
tinuous management that a railroad
has.
GsFTvI-
for every year governments spend more
and more of the peoples money-ex-
tend their activities wider and wider.
Efficiency in state government is bound
to come, says the governor. His pro-
posal will do far more to bring 1t about
than any other that has been made"
