NEITHER GOT FALL
IN 2 HRS. ~ MIN.
Jim Poulios and John Marine Wrestled
Into Small Hours of the Morning
at the Barre Opera House.

AT an interesting hour this morning,
Jim Poulios, the Greek Demon" of Chi.
cago and John Marine of Worcester
ceased wrestling and Referee Joe Plouff
of Winooski announced that the COM
batants had .grappled with each other
only to draw That such was the is
sue was evident enough to half hand
full of mat fans who had watched the
pair struggle at the Barre opera house
for two hours and n minutes without
fall. II was evident, also, that pair
OF light heavyweights or pair of bear
cubs, for that matter, cannot begin the
game at 10 o'clock, wrestle two and one
half hours, and finish in time to allow
decent people to be abed. Even the
sport that was good enough for the
gladiators begins to pail as the morning
watches come in.
Poulios and the Worcester italian
were fairly evenly matched as to sci
ence, but the latter outweighed the De-
mon slightly, and seemed to have the
better OF the argument. He kept Up a
running fire of comedy during the bout
and also managed to keep his wind,
which was the miraculous part of it all.
Frequently the men who wrestled kicked
and pulled each others hair. And to
some who watched it looked like bad
business, but the match was interest
ing withal and afforded the audience a
good bit of sporta good long bit. Pro-
moter j. E. Powers, who brought the
men down from Burlington, told the
audience he wasn't at all disheartened
by the small gate and promised he would
fetch another bout into the opera house.
Young Croteau and Dannie Peduzzi wres-
tied to two falls for the preliminary
event. Croteau won the first on full
Nelson and the second fall went to Pc
duzi ON head ehancery and arm hold.

READY poR SOUTHERN TRIP.
University of Vermont Ball Team Is
Shaping Up Well.

Burlington, March l9.--The Univer-
sity of Vermont baseball team will leave
Monday noon for the annual southern
trip. Twelve men are included in the
squad to go to the south to meet the
college teams and get into condition for
the long schedule TO come. Coach George
Winters has cut down the squad for the
second time from twenty-five to eight
cen men and the final cut will not be
made until Saturday night.
The material this year is very prom
Using and it is proving an extremely
hard matter TO pick the best of the ma
terial. Aside from the batteries the
team will be almost entirely made up of
new faces. With Malcolm, last years
varsity twirler, Gallagher the portsider,
Spear, last years st. Albans high south
paw and Denning formerly of Dean
academy, the pitching end OF the game
is we'll looked after and with Mayforth
catching, no trouble is felt on that score.
First base however, is problem al
though several candidates are out for
the position. Captain Berry will of
course hold down an outfeld berth and
Gallagher may play in the out garden
when not pitching.

CONTROLLED BY CHICAGO.
Argentine Beef Supply Largely Directed
from This Country.

Washington, March l9.--That Argen-
tina's beef industry, which sends mil
lions of pounds OF meat into the United
States monthly under the new tariff
law, is dominated by Chicago slaughter
ing and packing companies which do
by far the major portion of the entire
business" is described in q farmers bull
letin" issued yesterday by the depart
ment of agriculture.
That Argentine beef has caused re-
duction in the prices of meat in the
United States has been generally sup
posed.
The department bulletin remarks,
however, that st is not assumed that
the American controlled companies in
Argentina are using Argentine beef to
beat down the prices of Chicago beef"
At the present time, the bulletin says,
there are nine establishments for
slaughtering, chilling or freezing and ex-
porting beef, located in or near Buenos
Aires, and five of these companies are
owned or operated by Chicago houses.
In summarizing the conclusion of the
bulletin it is shown that imported Ar
gentine dressed beef adds to the nation
al supply Of the United States, at the
recent rate, little over one per cent.
while some of this meat" the bull
letin adds, "has come from British re-
frigerators at Buenos Aires, great deal
of it has been consigned by the Buenos
Aries firigorificos of the Chicago slaugh-
tering and packing companies to them
selves in New York or wherever they
please TO send it by rail-"
According TO the bulletin, nine mil
lion pounds of Argentine beef are being
imported into the United States month
ly.

BURNS CONFIDENT
OF SOLVING CASE
Tells Reporters at Atlanta That Every
Criminal Must Leave
Trail.

Atlanta, Ca, March l9.-The indiea-
tion that Detective William j. Burns
believes Leo NJ. Frank is innocent of the
murder of Mary Phagan, in the light of
his present information, was made plain
in his talk with newspaper men yester-
day.
Every criminal leaves some sort of
trail" was one of his assertions and
later he said, "The trail is very plain"
Notwithstanding the various charges
that have been made, / think Solicitor
General Dorsey has been absolutely hon
est in this case, and that he never would
have prosecuted man he did not thor
oughly believe to be guilty" said Burns.
But, however keen a man may be, his
vision is liable to be distorted"
Though refusing generally to discuss
details Of the case, Burns said he con-
sidered as very important the evidence
which Fl. f. Becker, now of New York.
is reported as being able to give. Beck
er is ready to testify that the paper
on which one of the notes was written
was a piece of trash which had been
used months before the murder.
People are too apt to adopt theory
and build their evidence on it," said
Burns. "The right course is to get the
evidence. then deduce the theory"
He said it is not too late to get at the
bottom OF the case. On the other hand,
he appeared to think conditions at this
late day are more favorable to the cor
rect solution than they were at first.
Sometimes it is better to wait till
Indignation has subsidized and then look
at a thing calmly" he said.
Developments in the case are expected
to-day on the return from Washington
of Attorney Reuben R. Arnold OF the
defense. While Mr.. Arnold did not make
the trip in connection with the Frank
case, it is said new and sensational aft
davits have been placed in his hands.

No mention has been made of the figure
at which Taft places his holdings.
King George of England attained the
distinction of being the first reigning
British monarch to witness public ex-
hibition of the noble art of self-defense
when he attended bout as the guest
of the second Life Guards at London,
England, this week Bonbardier Wells,
the English heavyweight fighter, and
Pat Keefe of Ireland gave a fast exhibi-
ton Of sparring. In sporting circles a
boom is expected as a result OF the
kings patronage.
The New York Giants have, lost Out
fielder Cooper. He has signed a three
year contract with the Brooklyn Feds.
His salary win be $4,000 year. He
received years salary in advance.
RUDE Marquard started off the season
in grand style. He held the Waco, Tex,
club to one hit in five innings on Mon
day.
Hal Chase has not been able to take
his place at first base for the Chicago
White Sox of late. He has been both
cred with a sty on his eye. Fourier is
taking his place at the initial sack.
The public of Boston are beginning to
think that Manager Stallings did not
get the worst of the Eyers-Perdue
Sweeney deal after all. At first when
the two Boston stars were transferred
a big sholler" was put up by the Boston
fans. Since spring practice has been un-
der way Evers has been showing up
wonderfully.
The Boston infeld is expected to be
filed by Deal Maranville, Evers and
Schmidt The outfielders nominated for
positions are Gilbert Connolly and Grit
fifth. Leslie Mann, the Springfield y NJ.
C. A. college player, is expected to be in
the running for a garden outpost.
Whaling and Gowdy are expected to do
the bulk of the catching, while Perdue,
Tyler. Hess, Rudolph, James, Strand and
Jones are expected to be the pitchers.
A chance is conceded to Duchennils for
a pitching berth. Luque and Nillazon

Dead Comrades

Mexico City, March l9.-1n squads OF
dozen men each l49 mutineers were
taken from the Federal barracks at 10.
jutia yesterday, lined up against a stone
wall and shot.
1t required less than half an hour for
the slaughter of the men who rebelled
at service in the army of Gen. Huerta.
The members of the firing squad worked
rapidly and pumped bullets into their
former comrades as fast as they were
lined up.
Bodies were piled high along the wall
when the last mutineers were brought
out, and those going to their death
stumbled over the forms of those who
faced the rifles of the executioners only
a few minutes before. With the last
mutineer shot the bodies We're thrown
into one trench.
Huerta has ordered the strictest dis
cipline enforced in all garrisons. A stone
wall and a firing squad await the lead

Huerta Forced by the In
creasing Seriousness
Of Situation
TO REOPEN UNOF-
FICIAL EXCHANGES
With John Lind, the Person
al Representative of Pres
ident Wilson

Mexico City, March l0.-Forced by
the increasing seriousness of the situa-
tion in Mexico from financial rather
than military viewpoint, President
Huerta at last appears to be ready to
resume negotiations with John Lind,
President Wilson's representative, ii re-
ports current are true.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Roias was
directed to reopen unofficial diplomatic
exchanges with Lind and for that pur-
pose went to Vera Cruz, it is said.
Every effort was made to keep the
meeting secret.
Huerta summoned to the palace GO of
the wealthiest Mexicans in the capital
and intimated that indirect financial
support would be agreeable in view o.
the campaign against the rebels.
He also asked for horses, for even a
hundred cannot be expected from Japan
and Europe. He suggested the men form
military society and that insignia be
worn to identify them as being on the
governments side.
