WILLIAMS"
REAL CHAMPION
Instead Of Setting Back He Is Now
F"Hs
Sending Out Challenges for As
pirants to Fight Him.

Chicago, June 23-kid Williams,
bantamweight champion, has just
sprung a one. The Baltimore
boy, instead of sitting back and wait
ing for challenges to be hurled at him
by aspiring young boxers, is sending
out notices to the boys in his class,
inviting them to battle him. He is
not overlooking any of them, either.
One Of the boys, to whom Williams
issued a challenge, is Johnny Coulon,
who has been out of active ring work
since the memorable contest in Cali.
fornia in which the Baltimore kid
look the title by knocking out Johnny
in three rounds.
Coulon answered this letter by stat.
ing that he wasn't ready to re-snter
the ring, and would not make a fight
until next fall.
1t isn't really hard to figure out
why the champion Of bantams is TAX
ing the initiative in arranging
matches. The bantamweights fol-
several years have been so scarce
that the good ones could easily be
counted on the fingers of one hand
and n boy always stood out as su
perior to the others. When Coulor
was king and at his best, there
wasn't anybody who was conceded

FIGURE FEDS
ALMOST DEAD
National League to Aid Cincinnati
Club in Fight on so-Called
Ironclad Contract.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June pa new
angle in the baseball was was brought
to light when the Cincinnati club.
owing to hard times, prepared to
start a fight on the so.called iron
clad contract which It was forced to
giveHcertain players to prevent theil
joining the Federal league. The Reds
plan to release a man on the ground
that he hasn't delivered the goods
and in case he goes to court to fight
the proceedings.
The entire league will aid in the
fight, which it is thought will be q
winning one, and then steps will be
taken to scale down salaries through
out the circuit. (
A significant feature of the scheme
is that the National league officials
will take no heed of the likelihood
of the Feds grabbing ony%o the men
even under the old-style contract
They figure the Feds almost a dead
issue.

was awaiting the arrival Of steamer
To take Il TO Russia.
The explosive was TO be shipped TO
Vladivostok on the steamer Hazel Dol
lar. now loading army supplies at Ia
coma. II became known that two
weeks ago the Russian consul In San
Francisco received information that an
attempt would be made to blow up the
Hazel Dollar before she left port.
Detectives were employed by the
Russian government, and for two
weeks have been guarding the Hazel
Dollar. Walter r. Thayer. local rep
ressntative Of tho detective agency
guarding tho..steamer. said he believed
an internal machine had been concealed
among the cases Of dynamite stored on
the scow. with the expectation that
the explosive soon would be placed
aboard the steamer.
Fire Marshal Bringhurst said he
could offer no other explanation for
the explosion than that 1t was mali
cious, although he admitted that he had
been unable to gather any evidence In
support Of this theory.

Tariff Rebate Is Sustained by
United States Customs Court

Washington, d. c. - The so-called
SO per cent" clause of the tariff law,
granting reduction of duties to that
amount ON goods imported in American
ships, is sustained by the customs
court, which held also that the per
cent rebate must be granted on all
goods imported in ships Of those coun-
tries with which the United States has
favored nation" treaties.
AS such treaties exist with the prin-
cipal countries of the world the effect
of the decision is practically to reduce
the customs revenue by per cent.
II the decision is sustained by the
Supreme court Of e.United States, to
which il will be appealed, approx
mately s15, 900, 900 in duties already
collected must be refunded.
In dissenting opinion Judge Dew
ries pointed out that the majroity de-
cision means that goods imported in
about $500 foreign vessels of favored
nation countries shall receive this re-
duction in customs.

spirit and to cradle it. Then he
breathed his prayers-they took form.
and in his sleep he repeated the Ave
Maria and the Paternoster. and the
words rolled and rolled over the
deserts face and the supplication
seemed to his feyerish mind to mingle
with the stars.
A sort Of midnight dew fell upon
him: so at least he thought. and it
seemed to him a heavenly dew and to
cover him like benignant rain He
grew cooler. He prayed again, and
with his words there came to the
young man an ineffable sense of peace.
He pillowed his fading thoughts upon
IL; he pillowed his aching mind upon
1t and his body, too, and The pain Of
his wound and he thought aloud, with
only the night airs to hear him, in
broken sentences: IF this is death it
is not SO bad. One should rather be

forgotten Pitchoune.

was no response. Then the soldier
listened In silence. 1t was absolutely
unbroken. Not even the call OF a
nightbird-not even the cry of a n.y.
ena-nothing came to him but the In
articulate voice of the desert. Great
and solemn awe crept up to him, crept
up to him like spirit and sat down
by his side. He felt his hands grow
cold, and his feet grow cold. Now, un-
able to speak aloud, there passed
through his mind that this, indeed, was
death, desertion absolute In the heart
Of the plains.

War Develops New Channels Of
Trade for Western Hemisphere

Washington, ID. C.-Some of the OBJ
staclcs which war across the Atlantic
has thrown into the paths of Industrial
march Of trade in the Western Henri
sphere were outlined Tuesday at the
first session of the Pan-Amcrican
finance conference.
The outstanding thought Of the con-
ference AS II was expressed by many
speakers was the crying need for inn
provement Of transportation, for re-
adjustment of methods of financial ex-
change and for uniformity Of laws
north and south Of the Equator in rela-
tion TO subjects which vitality affect in
ternational relations.
Steps were taken at the close of the
day TO pave the way for uniform stat
utes through the appointment Of a
committee with representative from
each invited nation and several repre-
sentatives of the United States.
President Wilson, who welcomed the
delegates to this country, dwelt upon
the need for development of trans.
portation, and Secretaries Bryan, Red
field and McAdoo and Postmaster Gen
cral Burleson later added their recon-
mendations for steamship lines indie
pendent of Europe to ply between all
the principal ports Of the two Amer
icas.
Expression Of this idea eliminated
In the promise Of Secretary McAdoo to
select committee Of representatives
of the United States and Of South
American countries. including Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile and possibly others,
to take up the question of steamship
lines, either cooperative under these
governments OF under private control.

Historic Palace Coveted.

Paris-The Italians, it is said, are
determined to seize the present oppor-
tunity to retake the Palazzo Venezia,
the seat of the Austrian embassy to
the Vatican, and perhaps the most
beautiful palace in Rome. 1t was built
in the 18th century and belonged to the
Venetian republic and thus fell into
the hands Of Austria. When Austria
coded the Venetian provinces to Uni
ted Italy, the Italians failed to claim
the Palazzo. Discussions are now on
as to making this architecture into a
museum or public offices.

ITALIAN COAST TOWNS RAlDD BY
AUSTRIAN NAVAL AND AIR FLEET

London The Austrian war office
has issued the following official state
ment regarding the operations against
Italy:
.'Our fleet on the night following
the declaration of war undertook ac-
tion against the Italian east coast be-
tween Venice and Barletta and sue
ccssfuliy bombarded at several points
objects Of military Importance.
"At the same time our aeroplanes
threw bombs on a balloon shed at Thi-
arvaila, military buildings at Ancona
and the arsenal at Venice, causing Wis
ible damage and fires.
1t is apparent from the foregoing
dispatch that Austrian aeroplanes have
virtually swept the entire eastern
coast of Italy. From Venice, at the
head Of the Adriatic, they have made
their way rs far south as Barletta, a
distance of $50 miles, committing acts
Of hostility during their progress.
The official Italian statement regard
ing the raid follows:
1T was foreseen that on the declsr-
alton Of war offensive actions would
occur against our Adristic coast, with
the purpose Of seeking moral effect
rather than attaining a military pur-
pose. But we were able to prepare
for these and render their duration
short.

ENGLAND ATTRIBUTES ACT TO DIVER

London - The American steamship
Nebraskan, returning from Liverpool
in water ballast to Delaware Break
water, either was torpedoed by a sub
marine or struck by drifting mine off
the south coast Of Ireland Wednesday
night at 8 O'Clock.
The sea was calm and no lives we're
lost The Nebraskan Immediately sent
out wireless call for assistance and
meanwhile the crew took to the boats.
Subsequently the crew returned to the
vessel, which was observed not to have
been morSally hurt.
Subsequently a dispatch from Lloyds
reported the Nebraskan proceeding un-
der her own steam past Kinsale, Ire
land, flying the signal:
II am not under CONTROL
Another message to Lloyds says that
an armed trawler went to the assist
ance Of the Nebraskan and stood by
her all night.
New York-Officials of the Ameri-
n-Hawaiian Steamship company,
owner of the Nebraskan, are in doubt
whether the vessel had encountered a
torpedo or mine.
They showed wireless message
from Captain John S. Green, of the
Nebraskan, saying:
Struck either by mine OF torpedo,
AZ miles west of Fastnet and steaming
to Liverpool. Water in lower hold.
No one injured.
Washington, ID. C.-The course of
the United States government in the
case of the American steamer Ne
braskan, damaged off the coast of Ire
land, is undetermined because officials
we're without definite information as
to whether the ship was torpedoed or
struck by mine.
Messages from Ambassador Page
transmitted the report of the British
admiralty that the vessel had been
torpedoed, but officials noted with
much interest the captains report to
his owners, indicating a doubt as to
whether the Nebraskan was hit by q
torpedo or a mine.
President Wilson himself read all
the official and unofficial dispatches.
In view of the positive position which
the United States has taken on the
subject of submarine activity in the
war zone and the delicacy of the situa-
ton with Germany arising out of the
Lusitania disaster, the story of the
Nebraskan's experience is awaited
with unusual interest. Should it de-
velop clearly that she was torpedoed
without warning, an aggravating cir
cumstance will have been added to an
already tense situation.
