SCOTCHMkN WINS BELT.
Says Jiuiitsu Is Best Means of Self
Defense.

That the occidental athlete who will
devote the necessary time and atten-
ton to training can hold his own in any
form Of sport the world around has
again been demonstrated. Allan Smith,
a Scotchman employed by an American
company in japan, has recently been
awarded the famous black belt given
for proficiency in jiujitsu. In order to
win this distinctive honor in the Japa-
nese art Of self defense it is necessary
to secure 10000 falls. Up to a few
days ago only three foreigners had won
the black belt" although hundreds
had tried and failed after long sessions
of training and competition.
AS a means of self defense Smith as
serts that iiujitsu is far superior to
wrestling or sparring. He says: "A
master of jiuiitsu could have defeated
/ Jack Johnson in his prime. My friend
/ here" indicating his instructor. would
! have had no trouble in defeating John

FOUR MORE HOUSES ARE LOOTED

Increasing boldness characterizes
the work of the daylight robber, who
during the last two weeks has been
entering Richmond homes with ap-

Four more victims were reported
yesterday, all of which have not been
reported to the police department.
Homes entered yesterday were:

BULL MOOSE PARTY
TO STAY IN POLITICS
DECLARE DELEGATES

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 3.-The name
OF Progressive party will go on the
national ballot in the fall election.
Fifty members of the Anti Hughes
contingent of the Bull Moose party
in conference here on the call of
Mathew Hale, acting national chair
man, declared unanimously for the re-
tention of the party's solidarity.
John NJ. Parker of New Orleans,
vice presidential nominee, succeeded
Roosevelt as the idol of the delegates.
A movement was started to force him
to become the party's presidential
candidate. He apparently dominated
the gathering and he proposed before
it adjourned that it should:
Continue him as vice presidential
nominee using no successor to Roose-
velt
To elect presidential electors in
every state and make a fight to Sc
cure the balance of power.
Every. delegate who rose to his feet
as the roll of states was called de.
nounced the action of the Progressive
national committee in endorsing
Hughes in its Chicago meeting as a
betrayal of sacred trust. Eighteen
states had official representation at
the conference. Many more we're rep
resented by letter or enthusiastic
party members who came without
Any action toward endors-
ing Woodrow Wilson was forestalled
by Hale's announcement that between

gressives want neither.
