''To have such story spurned after
all the horrors of that night was too
much for Spurgeon He began sending

He sent these bulletins as far east as
Boston. as far west as San Francisco, as
far north as st. Paul, and as far south
as New Orleans. He played no favor

had chosen to hold it for the Associated
Press afternoon papers. The editor did
not think Sturgeon had treated the
paper fairly and unless he could explain

wanted nothing more from him.

the entrance to the apartment house
where Mrs. Angle lived. He had called
on her Tuesday evening and the cir
cumstances after he was found were
such that the police decided to hold Mrs.
Angle as a material witness.
Leonard BlondeI, Mrs. Angles father,
yesterday made statement in which he
gave what he said would be his daugh-

Won Intercollegiate Regatta
at Poughkeepsie
Yesterday
PENNSYLVANIA
WAS SECOND
While Cornell Was Third,
Syracuse Fourth and
Wisconsin Last

Poughkeepsie, n. y, Jane 27.--Colum
bia won the four-mils varsity eight-oared
race, the feature event of the annual
intercollegiate regatta here, late yester
day afternoon, after thrilling race, By
one length.
Pennsylvania was second Cornell
third, Syracuse fourth, Washington fifth
and Wisconsin last.
The race was rowed under perfect
weather and water conditions, as the
river barely rippled and the tide was
running down the course strong.
The first start was spoiled by the
Cornell oarsmen jumping slide, and the
crews were recalled. Pennsylvania led
during most OF the race, Wisconsin be-
ing hopelessly out.
Columbia's victory in all probability
prevented Cornell from sweeping the riv-
er for the Ithaca crew was so completely
exhausted in trying to hold the victors
that they faltered and slipped back into
third place at the finish.
All Poughkeepsie last night was cele-
brating the event in an uproarious fash
ion. Columbia's last victory was in
1895.

JOHNSON AND MO
RAN ON EDGE FOR
THE BIG FIGHT
Both Look Fit as Riddles for Worlds
Championship Contest Tonight
at the French Capital.

Paris, June 27.--Jack johnson looks
to be in magnificent condition---out-
side--for his fight with Frank Moran
The question is what sort OF condltlon
Is inside johnson? Is he as good as ne
looks or will he cave in as Jeffres qua
when the test is applied!
Frank Moran is certainly in good con-
dition. He's magnificent rnusced; he
can run like a quarter horse and Jump
like goat. His sparring partners
swear to the power of his punch. But
the whole question to. be decided here
tonight is:
"Has johnson gone back so Tar that
Moran can beat hlm?"
haze watched both men in their
training for the last few days. John
son trains in the Bots de Boulogne, and
charges admission to the pavilion IN
Luna park, where he goes through spec
tacuar rounds with his keepers. Moran
is training at Butry, a pretty little
country place outside of Paris. SO Tar
as outward appearance goes, in my opin-
ion there isn't hair to choose between
mon. II is what is inside the man that
counts.
johnson is grayer than he used TO be.
His face shows that he is older-in
years ana experience as well-than he
was when he fought Jeffries. His mag
nifcent muscled body is smooth and
supple as ever. There are no great poe
kets of fat to worry him. and while he
has undoubtedly put on weight iii is not
enough to bother him. 1t all gets back
to the question Of stamina. 1t seems to
me that Johpson's eyes carry very much
the same sort of look that Jeffries' eyes
held the day he signed articles for she

the next Parliament Miss Wylie, pre-
siding at q meeting of the Women's So
cial and Political union declared that
the militants would not dream of
truce Mrs. Besant. she said, had not
fought, dared and suffered as the mill.

truce. The trial. OF the suffragette,

Japan Calls United States Treatment of
Her Subjects Here.

Washington. d. c., June 26.-Japan is

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh, is as much blood disease AZ
serofuIa or rheumatism. 1t may be re-
ieved but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment. 1t breaks down
the general health, weakens the lung It's
sues, and leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is so successful in
the treatment of catarrh that it is
known as the best remedy for this dis
ease. 1t puriies the blood. Ask your

Athens. Greece. June 27.--Seven classes
of the Greek naval reserves were yes
terday called to the colors, the official
explanation of the mobilization being
"the increase OF the feet and the naval
maneuvres to begin next week" The
real reason of the step taken by the

Greek government to be prepared for

apparent slackening of the tension be.
