BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

Ihough l chaperoned Claire, an
utter stranger, from Vevey to
Paris. where she was met by her
father, M. de Ravenol, / refused
to be responsible for the child on
the trip to America. Mrs. Delario,
a clairvoyant, accepted the charge.
The girl was to be met in New
York by her mother.
The mother. however, failed to
appear at the dock. In the ex-
element caused by Claire's disap-
pointment. Mrs. Delario dropped
from her suitcase, opened for in
spection by custom officials, a
slipper. lnasmuch as she and
had both purchased slippers alike,
i thought it was mine and slipped
1t In my suitcase.
Several days after arriving In
New York, M. de Ravenol having
come over in the meantime, | call
ed on Mrs. Delario. She showed
me seven diamonds worth a mil
lion dollars. Just then a detec-
tive appeared on the scene. She
thrust the diamonds In my hand,
and | fled with them to my own
flat.
| had no wish to be responsible
for a million dollars worth of dia-
monds, so the next morning
took them back to Mrs. Delario
But she insisted l keep them, sc
for a second time left her house
with the jewels.
On my way home | happened
to buy some hyacinths. and later,
for want of better place, hid the
diamonds among them.
Upon reaching home T received
q telephone from M. de RavenoI
that Mrs. Delario was ill and want
ed me, so l again fastened to her
house, only to be confronted by
monsieur, who accused me, at the
point of a revolver, of having
stolen the jewels from his daugh-
ter.
| finally escaped, and on the
way home luckily met Bill Rivers,
a former pupil of mine, then a re-
porter. | told him nothing of the
diamonds, but said | had feeling
that my flat had been robbed. He
went home with me, and found
the flat ransacked, with $500
had left in my bureau drawer
spread out on the bed!
After Billy left | rushed to the
hyacinths. The diamonds were
safe. l went out to buy chain
bolt for my door, and was fol-
lowed by detective. | tele'
phoned Mrs. Delario. She, too
was watched by detectives.
Upon my return, as | was wait
ing for the elevator to go up to
my flat, the door of the flat right
under mine opened and the face
that peered out at me was that
ON. de Ravenol! | questioned
George, the elevator boy, and he
acknowledged being in monsieurs
pay. l barricaded my flat as
best l could.

EAGLES PROVIDE NUMBER
Of EXCITING CONTESTS

Seven bouts made up the pro-
gram offered by the Eagles A. @.
last night at Eagles hall. A num-
Der of the goes were decidedly
above the ordinary, and the even
ing was featured by trio of
kn0ckouts, all of which occurred
i'm the first five bouts.
The star feature of the even
ing was the clash between the
little fellows, frankie Dolan of
San Francisco and Earl Corners
of this city. Both boys were clev-
er boxers and exceedingly fast,
Dolan's footwork being exception
ally speedy. The bout went three
even rounds, and it looked like
a draw contest until Corners put
Dolan to the canvas twice in the
fourth session, the second time
for the full count.
Dolan displayed more expert
ence and cleverness at long range
but lacked the effective punch of
Corners, who looks to be a de-
cidedly promising youngster.
Dolan was outweighed about nine
pounds last night, according to
his manager, but the boxer him
self did not try to offer any ex-
cuse.
Sammy Good and Eddie Shan
non put up stiff contest in the
main event, which went four
rounds tofa draw. Good display
ed the most speed and cleverness,
while Shannon landed a stiff wal
lop every now and then. Goods
aggressiveness, however, and his
ability to land two punches to
Shannon's one entitled him to the
decision, in the opinion of many.
Great dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed over the decision in the
bout between Romeo Hagen and
Jim O'Brien, in which a verdict
was given to the Seattle fireman.
Romeo may have had a shade in
| the last session, but he was out
classed in the earlier part of the
bout, and O'Brien was easily en-
titled to a draw.
At that, O'Brien claimed to
have broken his left arm in the
second round, and thus destroyed
the use of his best hand. The de-
cision was very unpopular with
the crowd.
There was something doing in
the semi-windup betwixt Paul
Steele and Chef Neff every min
ute. Chef Neff, or Chef Rough
neck as he might be called, daz-
zled Paul for a round or two with
his flashy work, but In the latter
part of the bout the Tacoma boy
was giving Chef some very un-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-01-30

pleasant moments. The last round
was all Steele's.
Neff puts up a nice clean bout
when against an inferior boxer,
but when he meets his equal he
tries too much rough stuff, con-
tinually butting and elbowing his
opponent.
An extra bout, supplied by Joe
Hill and Jack Hem or Hamhurst
probably Ham-Joe tucked his
opponent to sleep in the initial
round, although he was 20 pounds
heavier.
Leo Bishop also made Ed Ber-
nard dent the canvas with his
nose in the first round of the
preliminary bout. If Bern I'd
had some fighting spirit he might
do better.
Bob Ross and Fred Grant
thumped each other around the
ring four rounds for a draw.
What advantage there was lay
with Ross.
Arthur Schock refereed all con-
tests, with J. P. Hughes and Nav
russ Commings as his associates.
As usual, George Shanklin was
the master of ceremonies and
Thomas Armstrong handled the
t!me-chime.

WEST WILL De
ONE Of Us
THIS YEAR

A bit O0f news that Will be
cheering to the baseball fans is
the information that Frank West,
the smuggling Tiger first baseman,
has signed his contract for 1914.
He had been holding back, but
finally decided to come in the
fold.
Skin Harris has asked for a
raise, and he will probably get
1t. Skin did some good hard work
last year.
Rumor has 1t that McMullin,
third baseman, is flirting with
the Federal league. While Mac
is a classy fielder he can't hit at
the pace sufficient for the outlaw
circuit, and 1t is hardly likely
they'll grab him.

sons placed under the care of a
boxer who would train and de-
velop them into fine, outstanding
men. Unless a man has a sound
physique, how can he possess
power to use all his mental capa-

Boxing also furnishes a good
wholesome amusement for men
and teaches them good sports
manship and genuine respect for
fine, stalwart men.

a woman's sport. Women should
not attend ring contests at all, be-
cause they have little sense of fair
play or the science of the game.
Boxing is decidedly mans

PHILIPPINES HEARING
Taft To Be Called as Witness
by Senate Committee.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Ex-President
Taft. Secretary Garrison, General Nc
Intyre and officials of the Philippine
government will be asked to appear be
fore the Senate Committee on the Phil
ippines. which decided to-day TO begin
hearings next week on the admlnlstra-
ton bill assuring the Filipinos OF IN
dependence. Hearings vii be held on
three DAYS of next week and VIII De
resumed after the holiday recess.
The names Of the witnesses who have
been invited to appear indicate that
the Senate Committee will not report
the measure out until ii has learned
of conditions in the islands directly
from those who have had experience
in them and know the fitness OF their
people for self-government.
The list includes, besides those al
ready mentioned, Vice-Governor II. ,.
Martin and Assistant Secretary Fergu-
son of the Philippines government;
Manuel Quezon, delegate from the
Philippines; L. X. Brooks, editor OF
"The Manila Tines; Moorheld Storey,

peals, Ex-Governor of the islands; Dean
c. Worcester, ex-Secretary of the In
terror of the Philippines, and Martin
Egan.
In view Of the action of the Senate
Committee to-day it is doubtful if the
bill is reported until some time after
the holidays. As the time of the Sen
ate may be taken up with consideration
of appropriation bills, it is possible
that the Philippines bill may be

these matters in public, a contention
in which the public will hardly join
him. Mr.. Mccall entirely evades the
question at issue, which is the delib-

at a time when such overcoming is
unnecessary and avoidable. He CON
fines his statement to facetious dis
cussion and irrelevant matters.
