The following letter was received by the Daily Times from the Spanish Kid" of Kennecott. with request that it be printed in full We, therefore publish it. taking no responsibility as regards the authenticity of it's con tents. The letter is signed R. Capilla, Spanish Kid" and follows:
 Kennecott, April 19, 1916.
 Editor Cordova Daily Times.
 Dear Sir-In the interest of truth and in justice to the undersigned, [ wish you would give the following a prominent place in your paper. Re plying to the article, Boxing Contest Did Not Take Place. I wish to state that Frank Sharkey, one of the prin- cipals. came here from Cordova with one Bolinger, his manager, to see what could be done towards arrang- ing a match between himself and me, on the basis of 40 and 60 the go to be eight rounds There was no mention of a $500 side bet made whatever, and we personally doubt that they had that amount themselves or among their friends to bet on the issue one way or another. However at the con ference they expressed the desire of pulling the bout off as soon as pos. sible. as their expenses were high, and would give me. say, five days in which to train following the signing or articles, which | may say, were arranged and signed at this time, the Russian Kid" and Bolinger acting for Sharkey, as the latter had not yet arrived. Upon his arrival day or so later. we had a second conference. Sharkcy refused to proceed further, on the grounds that he was not in con dtion. and secondly, that he doubted 1T the bout would attract enough tllthN lucre to pay our mutual expenses. In the event he had consented I would have had but a five days training, and if in any, as poor condition as himself, as to my sincerity, I called my train CTS from the mines, lost a week or more in wages, and suffered an outlay of some $200. As to my friends refus-
 ing to come through to meet a side bet, of mythical character, sum Sharkey or his friends have seldom present. wish to state that such friends and supporters as have here will cover dollar for dollar. to any amount, that Sharkey, ct al. can rake or scrape together. That we will meet MT. Sharkey any time (but preferably July 4), anywhere and in any place.

In London now social events are be-

Carelessness may account in part
for the 725,000 accidents, $4,000 of
them fatal, to wage earners in 1918.
But the fact remains that the hazards
of manual labor are many in spite of
every precaution, Railways still fur
nish the most dangerous form of en-
ployment. with farming, curiously
enough. a close second, while coal
mining Is third on the list. In general
manufacturing the rate Is lowest on
the average-high in the iron and
steel industry and low In the textile
industries On the whole the number
of deaths from accident is not so re-
markable as the number of injuries.
The 100000 workmen whose cases
were reported were all incapacitated
for more than four weeks. AS an ar
gument for workmen's compensation
laws these figures are conclusive.
With such laws in force it is fair to
assume that every possible menace to
safety that is preventable will be re-
moved by employers If only for their
own advantage.

BEAUTY AND UTILITY.

In further proof that the labor OF
the societies for the protection of
bird life has borne fruit-or, at least,
vegetables-it is worthy Of remark
that the milliners have taken 1t into
their heads to decorate the seasons
hats with onions, carrots, beets and
similar colorful products of the truck
garden. If fashion sets the seal Of
its approval upon such decorations
the principal menace to birds Of gay
plumage will be removed and the
Audubon societies may know that
they have not lived in vain. Fur
Their, a great step will have been TAX
en- in the direction OF realizing that
cherished dream of the esthetic cult.
the harmonizing of human ideas of
use and beauty. The beauty Of the
useful having been recognized, all that
remains to be accomplished Is the rec
ognition of the usefulness of beauty
This next logical step is easily taken,
and should appeal to the sex that has
already conceded SO much to the IDEAL
lists. In using bird plumage for hat
decorations women could plead only
that beauty is its own excuse for
being and that no higher destiny
could be hoped for by the bird dow
cred with the fatal gift of fine feath-
ers than to adorn the headgear of
creations queen. Now the beauty of
the vegetarian hat can be made to
serve utility as well as art.

Washington. MAY 10. - Special J.
The Democratic national convention is
not going to have much difficulty III
adopting a platform. 1t Will contain
all the Wilson policies which have
been presented IN congress, no matter
whether they have been enacted into
law or not.
The most important of these decla-
rations will be In regard to the admin
istration's foreign policy and the Mex
lean question Just how far the plat
form will go and how emphatic a dec
laration it will be may be left to the
consideration of the resolutions com
mittee, which viii be guided by the
foreign situation at the time the con
venti0n meets.
There are Democrats who support
the presidents vigorous attitude to-
ward Germany. They also say he has
been vigorous enough toward Great
Britain and the allies. But these may
be In the minority. There are also
Democrats who have favored a more
vigorous Mexican policy, but they will
be challenged by the assertion that
nothing could be more vigorous than
seAding troops into Mexico to punish
the marauders who have violated
American rights.

Democrats.
Some ef these bills viii not become

that will be immaterial. as they will
