BOXING.

Some may think that the year 1915 was
lean one in fistic annals, but ono thing
VIII make i memorable one and that
was the fact that the heavyweight cham
pionship once more came back to the white
race. When Jess Willard. the big Kansas
cowboy. knocked out Jack" johnson In
the twenty-sixth round at Havana. the
white folk throughout the country heaved
a sigh of relief. Since Willard won the
championship on April he has no,
stepped into ring and he Is not becoming
very popular because OF his refusal to box
his challengers.
It is doubtful II the championship will
ever go out of the keeping Of the whites
In the future. In many States mixed
bouts are prohibited, and even IL they
were not there are few white fighters
these daysswho care to mingle with their
darker brethren. AS far as Willard Is
concerned. he has been hailed Us the
greatest ever. Maybe he Is, BUTT remains
to be seen what he will be able to do when
he gets against men like Moran and cof-
fey. Johnson was not anywhere near his
old self when he was beaten by Willard
The latter was Just lucky enough to be the
man who was selected to meet the negro
when he was on the downward path
Moran or Coffcy might well have done the
same thing-in fact, there are several other
fighters who might have been victor over
the dusky champion. As things stand now,
though, Willard is apparently sure OF his
crown for some time to come, for the crop
OF big fighters is nothing to brag about.
There are only two other undisputed
titles. Johnny" Kilbane still clings to
his featherweight laurels through the no
decision route and SO does, Freddy
Welsh in the lightweight class. kid" VIII
ANS really lost his bantam championship
70 John Ertle last September on a foul. but
there were some suspicious features about
that bout which makes Ertle's claims
rather dubious. In the middleweight diyi-
sion 1t is hard to tell who is the champion.
Technically "Al" Mccoy Is the top notcher,
but every one who goes to boxing bouts
considers him more or less of Joke.
Mike" Gibbons Is probably the best OF his
weight in America, but Young" Ahearn
also has to be figured in the running.

appeared to be the most popular In the

AVIATION.

Aviation in this country during the last
year suffered no slump. The chief things
that attracted attention In the aeronautic
world were the distance flights that were
accomplished. Oscar A. Drindley did what
was probably the best feat of the year
when in curtiss flying boat he made 5a
miles without passenger inside of ten
hours. There were twelve entrants in the

When you stop to consider it, Russia
is doing very well indeed to hold three
foes at bay az the same time. The Rus
sian strength must needs be divided by
three in order to meet the Turks to the
south, the Austrians and Germans to the
southwest and the Germans to the north
west Up to the present time Russia S
allies in the western part of Europe have
been of little direct assistance except in
keeping one section of the German
strength engaged to protect the western
extremities of the German empire against
the united strength of the three armies
OF Great Britain, France and Belgium.
The popular estimate of the ability of
the Russians ON the field of battle has
grown immeasurably since the days when
the Japanese soundly defeated the Rus
sian hordes and in these later days Of
the Great War that estimate has been
heightened by the knowledge that Rus
sia is standing off three foes single
handed, so to speak. Occasional defeats
now and then should not, therefore, be
considered remarkable and, to those with
sympathics with the allies, not at all de-
pressing in view OF the triple problem
forced upon the ears troops.

!
The American Highway association

work throughout the United States As
everybody's money IS spent in build

neers in charge, the movement is one
which ought 10 interest the public very
deeply.
The comparatively small state of Yer.

of thousands Of dollars annually for
highway improvement This money has.
especially in recent years, been expend
ed with economy and great results are
seen. In other states. notably Massa-
chusctts ana New York. millions Of dol.
lars have been wasted by building ex-
pensiye highways that have not stood

TURNS DOWN SUFFRAGISTS.
President Wilson Tells Them For Sixth
Time He Will Do Nothing.

Washington, ID. G., Jan. President
Wilson declined yesterday for the sixth
time since he entered the White House
/ to support a federal constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage. When
a delegation of Democratic women, who
declared they had helped to elect him,
presented the sixth formal petition the
president repeated his previous declara-
| ton that he considered suffrage state
issue.
Mrs. George i. Armes, president of
the District OF Columbia branch of the
Wilson and Marshall league, Miss Al
berta Hill of New York and Dr. Fran
ces McGaskin, spokesman for the delega-
ton which called at the White House,
reminded the president that the House
would vote on the suffrage amendment
Jan. II, and asked that he lend his
moral support 10 tire movement
Il am most unaffectedly compliment
ed by this visit that you have paid me"
the president told the women. II have
been called on several occasions to say
what my position is on the very inn
portant matter that you are so deeply
interested in. ! want to say that nobody
can look on the fight You are making
without great admiration. and / GER
tainly am one of those who admire the
tenacty and the skill and the address
with which you try to promote the mat
ter that you arc interested in.
But |, ladies, am tied to conyic- /
ton which | have had all my life that |
changes of this sort ought to be brought
about state by state. Ii it were not a
matter OF female suffrage If ii were a
matter OF any other thing connected
with suffrage. would hold the same
opinion. 1t is a long standing and deep
~ matured conviction on my part. and,
therefore, | would be without excuse to
my own constitutional principles il /

movement for an amendment 10 the
Of the United States
Frankly | do not think that this is

disagree with me, but You will not think
the less Of me for being perfectly frank
n the ayowal Of my own conviction on
hat subject, and certainly that avowed

lut merely an attitude OF principle.
II want to say again how much com
1limented | am by your call and also by
he confidence that you have SO gener-
,usly expressed in me. ! hope that in

confidence.

]. ?. Morgan Shot BY Crank
Who hpledd Bomb il Gpa0l

Glen Cove, N. Y.-Frank Holt, a
former Cornell university instructor,
attempted to assassinate J. P. Morgan
at East Isle, Mr.. Morgan's summer
home here Saturday, and has confessed
that he was the man who set the bomb
which exploded in the United States
capitol at Washington.
Mr.. Morgan, the victim Of the bull
lets which Holt fired was said by spe-
cialists at his bedside to be resting
well. No vital organ, the physicians
announced, had been involved in his in
jury.
The physicians, however, declined
to tell the exact location of MIR. Nor
gan's wounds. Junis Spencer Morgan,
eldest son Of the financier, was asked
to tell the exact nature of.the wounds.
After confering with the physicians,
young Morgan asserted that the doc
tors had decided to add nothing TO
their previous bulletins.
Holt, by his confession and the de-
tailed description Of the bomb he used
in the capitol explosion, stamped him
self as an expert on the use Of explo-
sives, the police assert. Immediately
after his confession was obtained the
chief of the Washington police,
squad Of secret service operators
and New York City detectives and
Bertillon and finger-print epxerts were
summoned to Glen Cove.
Holt shot Mr.. Moragn twice. Both
shots took effect in the region Of the
hip.
