GOTCH READY
FOR ACTION
Champion Wrestler Comes Out
Of His Retirement.
WANTS TO MEET STECHER.
Man Who Recently Won American
Title From Cutler Is Chap Whom
Humboldt Farmer Would Like to


Humboldt Farmer Would Like to
Taokle-Gotoh Bars All Foreigners.
Frank Gotch, wrestling champion of
the world, will come back.
There is only one condition to the
Humboldt Qa.) gladiator's string that
he attaches to his retirement of several
years ago. The financial condition
must be proper" which is the word
he uses himself in a letter to Chicago
sporting writer.
This is a trifing condition, since
there are but few foreigners in this
country who could by any stretch of
Imagination be considered to have the
slightest chance with the Humboldt
man.
Offer Aimed at Stecher.
The offer to come back is aimed
Bquarely at Joe Stecher, the plowbOy
from Nebraska, who won the Ameri-
can title in Omaha from Charley Cut
Ter recently. Stecher's victory, it is ap-
parent, was all that smoked Gotch out
of the quiet of his Iowa home.
He saw the young fellow flop Cutler
as easily as he would sack of grain,
and Immediately he intimated that he
might reconsider his retirement and
return for one more whirl at the game
He was asked In a wire if he still
considered wrestling Stecher or any
body else, and this is his reply in part:
"1f proper inducements are offered
might accept match with some Amer
lean, possibly Joe Stecher, but no for
Cigners. Bout would have to be pulled
off inside of ninety days"
First News Since Retirement.
This is absolutely the first definite
news from Gotch since he announced
his retirement shortly after the Gotch-
Hackenschmidt match at the White
SoX ball park in Chicago on Labor day,
1911. Gotch said at the time he would
enter the game no more, but wished
the public to consider that he had re-
tired for all time
GOtch stuck to his resolution in the
face of frequent challenges from men
with whom he could have drawn fat
houses. Within the past few weeks
Gotch has taken a couple of promising
youngsters in exhibition bouts and
showed some of his old time form.
With Gotch back in the game pro
motors will make every effort to brinl
about a meeting between Gotch anC
Young Zbysco, the Pole, who has beef

led in the past two years. There arr

the Pole would come pretty near tax

BELL TALKS 34OO
MILES TO HIS FIRST
TELEPHONE PUPIL
Inventor, in New York,
Calls Up" T. A. Watson
in San Francisco in Long
est Long Distance"

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-For the frst
time in the history of telephone develop
ment the voice OF man was made to
span the Continent when Professor Alex
ander Graham Bell, in this city, called
up" and saluted Thomas A. Watson in
San Francisco, 34O0 miles away.
The test thus made was entirely sue.
cessful, the spoken words being as clear
and ineligible as they would have been
had only a mile separated the great IN.
ventor and his first pupil.
These two, Professor Bell and Mr.. Wat
son. were the first in the history of the
world to converse by telephone. That
was back in 1875, when they proved the
discovery of the professor over two
mile line stretching from Boston to Cam
bridge.
In their respective cities, with the Con-
tinent between, representatives of tele.
phone companies assembled yesterday to
see the test made, and the conversation
ran as follows, New York opening tho
line:
Professor Bell I'm New York)-Heyl
Hey! Mr.. Watson, are you there' Do
you hear me? --,z
Mr.. Watson lin San Francisco)-
Yes, Doctor Bell, hear you perfectly
Do you hear me we'll?
Bell-Yes, your voice is perfectly
distinct. It is as clear as II you were
here in New York instead OF being
more than 5000 miles away. Do you
remember, Mr.. Watson, tha2 evening
3S years ago when we conversed
through the telephone on real line
for the first time?
Watson-Yes, indeed That line was
two miles long, running from Boston
10 Cambridge. You were overjoyed
at the success of the experiment,
Believe are talking over S4OO miles
as easily and clearly as we talked over
two miles 9S years ago.
Watson-The telephone men nave
certainly done wonderful things with
your invention since that first outdoor
test. We mustn't forget that the cir
cult we are talking over Is really $500
miles long, as, of course, the earth
cannot be used for the return now as
we used 1t then.
Bell-All honor to the men who have
rendered this great achievement pos
sible They have brought all the
people OF the United States within
sound of one another's voices and
united them into one great brother
hood.

PhATFODE% PLEDGES
HELD TN ABEYANCE
BY LEGISLATURE
Lawmakers Adopt Watch
full Waiting" Policy Pend
ing Appointments by
Governor.
rrpoa 4 srAyr connnsrOSDrNrl

tt<AkNAt1SbOhG' jan 20
The Legislature has adopted watch
full waiting policy in retaliation to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh for holding the club Of
patronage over It's head. None of the
Republican platform measures or admin
iatratlon measures was introduced last
night--the first meeting Of the Legislature
for the introduction of bills-eXcept the
constitutional amendment for the transit
loan and the bill calling for censtltu-
tional convention, neither of which meas
ures were in the Republican State plat
form or Doctor Brumbaugh's personal
platform. Both have the support of the
Governor and the Republican leaders,
however and appear to be assured OF
passage
In former sessions, a flood of bills for
each OF the administration pledges has
been introduced as soon as the Legtsla-
ture acttled down to the routine business
of the session. This same proceeding was
expected to be repeated last night.
Not a single local option, workmen's 8
compensation or employers liability bill
was introduced in either branch. One
child labor bill was introduced in the
House by Chris Becker, OF schuylkill
County, but II has not the backing of the
Governor or Of Republican leaders
The leaders In both the Senate and
House apparently are waiting to see what
Governor BrumbauBh does IN the way OF
appointments before they rush matters on
administration measures. This does not
mean they will tie UP the bills which the
Governor Ia personally supervising the
drafting of. but It does mean they are
not giving him "a line on" what their at
titude Is regarding his measures by in-
PRODUCING similar bills of their own.
The fact that the Governor submitted
only one major appointment-that OF Ad-
jutant General Thomas J. Stewart-to the
Senate last night has caused the belief
to, become general here that he will con-
tinue to hold UP his appointments until
he secs his way clear In regard to the
legislation ne wants enacted. Highway
Commissioner Edward NJ. Bigelow spent
last night in the House and Senate talk
ing with members,
About 100 bills were introduced in the
two branches last night, mostly for ap-
preparations. There was q noticeable lack
of "freak" bills, In the only one that
was introduced the question of an official
State flower was again raised. Frederick
E. Geiser, Of Northampton, presented a
bill specifying the mountain laurel.
