Charlie Mitchell Had the
 Injun Sign" on Sullivan

From the time John L. Sullivan first entered the ring in 1918 until the Old Roman gladiator was donat- ed by James J. Corbett at New Or men to face the be11icose Bostonian who were not licked before they started. One of them was the clever, nfnlb1e-footed bank clerk from San
 Francisco, and the other was the versatil9 English boxer, Charlie Mitchell It was tuserty-seven years. ago today. March 10. 1888, that lawn and Charlie ningIed in what was scheduled as finish fight at ChantiI15J France, and the memory of that bout is the sorest spot in the big Irishman's career. In Corbett he met a big man, eight years his junior, and an American, Mitchell was only a
 mi d dlewe eight, and was much nearer
 Tohn's age than Gorbett.
 SuIli van in the ring was an object
 to strike terror to the stoutest heart. He roared, beloved, rumbled, glared
 ferociously, and in general acted like a grizzly bear hungry for raw meat. Trepidation seized, the men who faced him, and the blood turned to water in their veins. In short, they were
 scared stiff. But not Mitchell, When he first met Sullivan in Madison Square Garden in 1888 the slender fraiI Rritfsher looked like a pyg1ny compared with Su11ys, but he acted for all the world as if he was pitted
 against a man of no particular i'm poFtance. Mitche1Fs ,. debonair, cool and careless attitude in the face of the bfl1stering, bluffing Bostonian surprised the latter so much that Charlie knocked him down before he had recovered from his surprise, SuI- livan proved too powerful for Mitch
 ell, and Capt. Williams, the referee,
 stopped the rookus in the third round
 Charlie never lost his nonchalent air.
 however, and it was plain that he had the s'Injl1n. sign'' on America's dough
 ty Champion. A little later they were
 matched for another session in the .Garden,Sbut John pleaded that he was
 too iIl4 t9 gos on. l.
 The battle of tventy-seven years
 ago today, on French soil, was pulled off on Lord Rothschild's training
 grounds near Chantilly. It was for 2;50O a side, London prize ring ru1es with the ''raw 'uns.' Many Amerf-
 can and English sports gath cred on the site selected by Johnny Gideon,
 the patron of Tom Savers in his in ternationa1 contest with Heenan, and there was a sprinknng of Frenchmen,
 anxious to get acquainted with the
 Anglo Saxon sport of "le boxe.''
 Sullivan looked fit and fine, but it
 was soon apParent that Mitchell still
 had the Indian sign on lawn, and
 that the American game of bluff wouldn't get him anything. Charlie

CFrom Mrs. W B. Williams, -Anti-
 Suffragist.)
 The Suffragists are always talking of the progress made by women and of the; splendid things accomplished by them. The Antis are just aa Sumragists are. They consider it Q strong Anti-Suffrage argument that all these things have been done with out the ballot. The Suffragistss tOos are fond of telling of the well known women who are now in public offices They seem to forget that these women obtained and hold these offices with out the ballot. What famous women have held public offices in XTyomings Utah, Idaho and Colorado. where Wo- men have voted for years?
 Speaking of Colorado reminds Iia of a recent speech by Dr. Talcott Will Hams of Columbia University Dr. Williams says: You will find in re- form after reform that Colorado tz years behind her sister states. Judge Lindsay that ardent advocate o4 Votes for Women confirmed -IDr- Williams statement at recent din- neT in Denver. Judge Lindsay is reported to have said: sColorado tz twenty years behind Massac ch{lsettss going on to name several reforms iE which this was true.
 Now the Antis do not say that bad conditions exist in the Western Suf- frage States because women vote They do say that they exist in spite of women's voting and that if m twenty years woman suffrage has not brought about needed reforms in Col orado there is no reason for asking the women of Connecticut to assume political burdens and responsibilities

Walter Swenson, the New York bank clerk who plays a one night stand here every week with the Blue Ribbon basketball team, will be dec orated with the Iron Cross if he does mt watch out. He deserves some kind of medal for the desperate chance he took last night when he appeared in a borrowed pair of pants that were boys size and belonged to the type known as Thigh waters.

GIVES HIS REASONS
ALONG WITH VETO
President Disapprovcs of the Immigra-
tion Bill, He Tells Congress, Be-
cause of Literacy Test and
Other Restrictions.

Washington, d. G., Jan. 49, President
| Wilson vetoed the immigration bill to.
day and sent a special message to Con
gress, saying that he disapproyed Of the
measure because of the literacy test and
other restrictive tests which ii proposes
as conditions of admission of immigrants
to the United States.
In his message, the president said;
Restrictions like these adopted earlier
in our history would very materially
have altered the course and cooled the
ardor of our politics. A right political
asylum brought to this country many a
man Of noble character and elevated pur-
pose who was marked as an outlaw in
his own less fortunate land and who has
yet become an ornament to our citizen
ship and our public councils
"The literacy test and the tests and
restrictions which accompany it consti-
tute an even more radical change in the
policy OF the nation. In this bill it is
to turn away from tests OF
characters and Of quality and impose
tests which exclude and restrict for the
tests here embodied arc not tests OF quail.
ty Of character or personal fitness but
are tests Of opportunity. Those who
'ame seeking opportunity are not to be
admitted unless they already have had
me OF the chief opportunities. They
