 In note tc the sporting editor of The GraphiI Miller says Killonis hau agreed to weigh 161 pounds at o'clock yesterday, afternoon. but weighed 172 pounds instead. Miller says he wanted 10 call the match off then. but was prevailed upon to go on the mat. He says also tha, all bets had been called off, before the bout started, because of illanis being ii pounds overweight.
 "I got bsat fair and square" he said "hut only because of this over weight"
 Occupants of ringsids seats at sths match describe the near riot" in ex- cited style. Factions evidently exist, enc faction saying Killonis started the trouble by kicking Miller dur ing the bout. and the other saying the row started when Miller struck Killcnis in tho right eye, after the bout, was over and when Killonis of fered to shake hands. However it started. it appeared there were a score of men ready-even anxious-to fight, wher Chief Stewart Chief Five ash and the other officers escorted the wresslers and the other princi- rsls to the polics headuuarters.. where peace articles were signed.

LAKES FINAL JOURNEY
LAST DESIRE WAS TO KEEP EYE
 ON SIGNAL AHEAD.
lhe of Usefulness Ended as Every ]. Rallroader Would Wish = Duty !. Ended, Jacob Holx Passed / Away In Peace.

It was the year of the big Chicago fire that Jacob Bolz began rs.ilroading. Among the engineers on the Chi cago & Northwestern road he was an lold-timer. And his watchword throughout his years at the throttle was: Keep your eye on the signal iahead!" So closely did he follow this rule that for many years he was iin charge of one of the fast trains between Chicago and Milwaukee. l Then came Jake's final Journey. And, at the last, his mind was still lon the signals. He wanted to be sure that the headway was clear.
 They told about it the other day lJ4ke's old,time pals on the Northwest ern road. They all speak of him as Jake.
 It happened reccntly--Jake final call for the signals ahead. It was at the Bolz home at 3513 Fulton street. They knew that the old engineer was passing out of this world. The doctor and Mrs. Bolz and other mem ,bers of the family were at the bed aide.
 Suddenly Jake sat up in his bed.
 How are the lights?" he asked sharply.
 Jake was back in his cab. His hand was on the throttle. His engine was slrimming over the shiny rails, carrying its human freight behind to safety or death.
 How are the lights?" he asked again. He was asking 1t of his fireman. There was an uneasy stir among those at the bedside.
 They're all right" !" Mrs. Bolz finally Ispnke up. She had been an engineers wife long enough to know the Import Iof the question.
 Are you sure they're all right ?'' came the next question. I Yes. I'm sure." Mrs. Bolz said, choking back a sob.
 Are they red or green7" persisted the veteran engineer. <
 They're green, assured Mrs. Bolz.
 How do you know? Who told you they're green?" demanded the old ltime railroader.
 There was a pause. Then Mrs. Bolz thought of the name of B. H. Wade, |assistant superintendent of motive power and machinery of the road. < sMF. Wade says they're green" l1Grs. Bolx said.
 The old engineers eyes showed re- hief ss
 "Well, if Wade says they're all right, weN g9 ahead.e he said. And then he lay back in his bed |6ontentediy and the end came.

the principal financial centres showed
little change one way or the other, al

that negotiations for another pussian

rates improved, and frmer tone was
noted in German marks. As for ster-

lie, under pretence of buying stocks
on margin, has bought a position to
win by rise in prices, it is almost
sure to be disappointed. It's i'm
agination will have been keen to
discover all the possibilities in favor
Of its position, so that the factor of
uneXpectedness on that side is low;
it will not have been keen TO dis
cover probabilities in prejudice of
its position, so that the factor of
unexpectedness on the other side is
high. But though something ex.
tremely favorable should happen I'M
expectedly, prices still would not be
likely to rise, because everybody is
waiting to take profits. Their anxi-
ETY. to win would prevent the rise.
Anything untowardly happening has
all the greater effect. because every
body is in danger OF l-e ng, and the
fear of loss causes a tremendous
commotion in self-preservation-
otherwise a panic. Observe that
what causes the panic is the fear of
loss by fall in quotations, and not
a conclusion that the value of stocks
will be adversely affected by the
event. People who sold so heavily
on Monday as to swamp the facili-
ties of the Stock Exchange were
thinking only of the effect of the u
boats exploit upon sentiment, and
rot at all of its effect upon the value
of, e. g., United States Steel COM
mon. If a man in the motions of
selling that stock for what it would
bring had been asked why he sold
he would have been unable to give
a rational answer. He was not sell
ing the stock, you see. He was try
ing to get out of his position with
as little loss as possible, and only in
the vernacular could it be said that
he was getting out of his stock. He
never had any stock; he never in
tended to have any stock. He had
only an interest in its fluctuations.

Correcting ExOrbitant Charges.

The city of Manchester, in England,
and the citizens of Lancashire have
spent about slOO.0OO.00O to make an
inland city, thirty-eight miles from
Liverpool, into a seaport, by digging
the Manchester Canal. More millions
have been invested by private individu-
ais to establish a manufacturing town
on farm lands on the canal bank. The
town Of Preston, thirty-one miles from
Manchester. dredged what in this coun-
try would be caller creek-the River
Ribble built forty acre dock at
a cost Of about 100000. The deter
mination to correct what were regarded
as exorbitant railroad charges and ex'
ee.sive Liverpool dock dues is said to
have been the motive behind these de-
velopments.
