ietic games TO be decided over the woodside

Government When the Anglo-British forces
later subdued the Mahdi and brought the
Sudan back into Egyptian possession Sultan
Ali Dinar, who had been confined for sew
eral years in one of the Mphdl's loathsome
jais, was placed on the throne and he gov
erned his people with all the savagery of
an uncivilized Eastern potentate at the
same time maintaining friendly relations
with the Anglo-Egyptian authorities at
Cairo.
The Bull of Bulls" which is one of the
titles of the Sultan of Darfur apparently
thought the time had come when the world
war broke out to display his strength, and
he gathered a considerable army of tribes
men on the frontier of his territory with
the intention, it is understood, of advancing
on Egypt, which he had heard was weakly
defended and at his mercy.
This assemblage of warriors soon came
to the notice of the AngloEgyptian staff
and a mobile column was Immediately or
ganized to meet and advance. The British
officer in command eventually came to the
conclusion, when he discovered how well
be advisable to strike the first blow. The
British column thereupon took the often
sive, with the result that the natives were
put TO flight after a severe engagement, in
which they lost thousands of killed and
wounded, A fighting aeroplane took part in
tn engagement and afterward scattered the
fugitves fleeing with their Sultan TO the
hills.
Considerable discussion is proceeding as
to the future government OF Darfur. In
which subject the French also are inter-
ested. as the territory ,adjoins their Suda-
nese possessions.

New York State Boxing Body to Act
on Whitman's Suggestion"

NEW YORK. June 27,-Bouts between
whites and negroes. now prohibited, will be
legalized by the Boxing Commission at a
meeting to be held in Albany tomorrow.
Fred wenck chairman Of the commission,
who was the only supporter of mixed
bouts when the question of allowing them
came up before the board last winter, In
dicated yesterday that 1t was the desire of
Governor Whitman to remove any sus-
picion OF discrimination against the negroes.
Until the question of forming a negro
regiment was broached Whitman had no
idea there was such thing in the boxing
laws as a rule prohibiting a negro n bnx
a white man. and when he heard of it he de-
cided that here should be a meeting of the
commission TO rectify what he believed was
unjust and Illegal discrimination
Whitman believes that Public Service
Commissioner William Haywood, now or
ganizing negro regiment, would face crlti-
cism IL he asked for negro volunteers when

who Is here as the pilot OF the ad men from
Newark. He figured once in Philadelphia
as a newspaper, advertising and theatrical
man and Elk. II was noticed that the
straw hat he wore yesterday was rainbow
tinted. II was all colors; yet II wasn't
any color.
Morry said that he had 1t especially
painted that way so that the visitors would
ask questions. Finally he admitted the
truth. A man near Broad Street Station
was selling hat bands Of changeable silk.
The vendor claimed that, like the cham
eleon. these bands changed color in the sun.
Scheck put one on his hat.
Then II rainsd.
The colors opposed each other and parted
company. They ran all over the hat and
also decorated Schecks collar and tie. He
saved his suit by making a record run TO
the Hotel Nendig. The yender disappeared.
Among the timely yarns unfolded by Mac
Martin. who is here with the Minneapolis
ad men, is this:
"A boy and girl were playing store They
agreed 70 open their own establishments
and then take turns being customers.

boy, III cheat you. and when / 20 into

and whispered necessarily. 1t was per-
sistently rumored that Erie was going to
pull something big, and it was very plain
that some Of the ad seuths, who hope to
land the next convention for their home

When questioned concerning his constant
activity about the hotel, Mr.. Fries simply
replied, Not a word"

nevertheless 1t is to gather up all the
stray ideas which float around (and ideas
are running rampant) and carry them back

Accused Dancing Master Ex-
poets Statement in Papers.

View York, June 10.-A flock of de-
tectives today are on the trail of Miss
Winifred DeWolfe, the missing San
Francisco heiress, while frantic
mother accuses Theodore Kosloff the
Russian dancer, of using hypnotism
on his pupil.
Just at the end Ct Kc sloffs act at a

quet of American Beauty roses was
tossed across the footlights by an at
tendant. 1t was tied with a big black
bow of material that looked like un-
dertaker's crepe Kosloof picked
up and pricked his fingers on the
thorns- Blood sprinkled on the at
tached card on which was inscribed in
her own handwriting, 'sWinifred De-
Wolfe"
Investigation as to the source of the
bouquet proved futile. The girls rela-
tives, however, are certain that she is
alive.
Kosloff declared that this was the
message he had expected and con-
scented to issue his long promised pub
lie statement

Winifred DeWolf reads the state

newspapers by her mother, Mrs. Ed
