WHO'S WORLD CHAMPION WRESTLER?
CADDOCK AND STECHER TO SETTLE QUESTION

Who is heavyweight champion
wrestler Of the world?
Out in Iowa, where Frank Gotch be-
gan his wonderful career and stin
lives. they claim the honor goes to
Earl Caddock, a farmer boy.
Across the Missouri River, over in
Nebraska, where Farmer Burns is the
srbiter OF all rasslug opinion, Joe
Stecher has the call.
The rest OF the wrestling world is
unconvinced and awaits a finish match
10 he held in New York within q few
weeks TO decide the issue.
Stecher made a brave attempt TO
step into the shoes OF the willy Gotch,
when the peer OF them all decided TO
retire with his escuicheon untarnished
by defeat.
He toured the country meeting oil
corners and defeated them all until last
year when he was matched 20 grapple
with John DIN, a comparatively UNI
known Finn In Boston. Stecher refused
10 go through with the match when
his famous scissors hold failed 10 send
his opponent 10 the mat
ctecher, however, still claimed the
championship and IL was not until he
met Caddock a few months later that
his claims were seriously questioned.
The stecher-Caddock match was held
In Omaha. Stecher won a fall and lost
one. Then no refused 10 return TO the
ring for the nnal fall Gene Malady,
the Omaha promoter, who refereed the
match. forfeited the fall 20 Caddock.
Caddook Immediately claimed the
title So did stecher
In the meantime Caddock has worked
faithfully, being coached by Gotch and
Farmer Burns. He IS undoubtedly Ia
better shape than he was when he
met Stecher last.
Little has been heard from Stecher.

not just any kind Of dog, but a
real bull dog. and, moreover, the
boys knew where the bull puppy
lived that they had set their hearts
upon. Anyway the wants of the
company got noised around, and
yesterday Capt. Harold ]. Smith re-
ceived letter lacking signature or
Identification marks, but enclosed
was an order for the pup. There is
nothing more to be said other than
the boys went to the west part OF
town and got the dog. and that boys

puppy will be as soon as 1t gets &C
climated, while the soldiers are sure
there will be no rats in their dug

THE COCKTAILS
DENMAN ROW
Up TO WILSON
President to Settle Ship Board Fight
Within Next Day, Says the
White House.
DIFFERENCES ARE CLEARING UF
Division of Authority Believed Plan
for Working Out Building
Operations.

Washington, d. c., July 24-Steps
to settle the shipping board row
will be taken by President Wilson,
it was said at the white house,
within the next twenty-four hours.
There was no intimation as to the
Presidents move, but officials in
close touch with the situation be-
lieve that Chairman Denman and
Major General Goethals, manager
of the boards fleet corporation, will
be told that they must compose their
differences and start Immediately
upon the governments ship building
program.
In support of this belief there
were indications that the shipping
board and General Goethals are
working on a more harmonious basis
than they have been at any time
since first disagreeing over the ques-
tion of wooden ships.
President Wilson, it is believed,
is of the opinion that more would be
lost than gained by letting either
Mr.. Denman or General Goethals go.
Many officials think he will make a
definite division of authority and
end a situation in which each holds
himself responsible for the building
program.
The white house denial of reports
that General Goethals offered to re-
sign is taken to mean that the Pres
ident still believes the program can
be completed best under the present
arrangement if definite division of
authority is made.

Excitement at Armory.

At 2:45 this afternoon the soldier
boys at the armory discovered good
sized fire cracking away right our-
side the armory windows in a pile
of boards. and refuse back of j. c.
Smiths blacksmith shop. The fire
had gained considerable Roadway be-
fore it was discovered, and when
someone saw the blaze there was
much excitement among the boys at
the armory. Everyone ran here,
there and everywhere. jumping over
cots, closing windows, etc. The
blaze soon reached the interior of the
blacksmith shop and it was some
time before it was eXtinguished by
the firemen. The shop has not been
in use for several months.

At Fifty Miles an Hour.

Some of the autoists just this side
of the Catholic cemetery last night
witnessed speed exhibition seldom
seen off the race course. Some
young chap was driving a big Lozier,
and those who saw the flight of the
machine say at times it must have
hit better than fifty miles an hour.
1t swayed from side to side like a
drunken man, and witnesses held
their breath in expectation Of being
forced to see a terrible accident. But
the lad in charge was without fear
and successfully bantered fate to do
her worst. The next time such a
stunt is to be pulled off, the fact
ought to be announced in the news
papers, as it is worth something to
see big car competing with flying
machines.

Posting Lists Of All Who Are to Be
Examined Held to Legal
Notification.
ADDED NOTICES SENT BY MAIL
Period in Which to Report, How.
ever, Will Date From Time
Lists Are Posted.

Washington, d. c., July 24.-The
master list of the drawing last Fri
day which fixed military liability
under the draft will not be ready for
distribution to the local exemption
boards until tomorrow. 1t had been
hoped to mail it tonight to govern
ors of states for distribution, but a
delay resulted from mechanical diff
ficulties in printing.
Pending publication of this Off
cial result of the drawing, no au-
thentic information is available to
check the unofficial report trans
mitted to the newspapers during the
drawing. 1t is probable copy of
the official list will be given out
here tomorrow.
The governors will be furnished
with two copies for each local board
in their states. They will be asked
to mail each copy separately to local
officials so as to insure delivery.
Immediately on receipt Of their
lists, each local board will cancel
the numbers higher than the top red
ink number in its district, and then
from the remaining numbers enough
men to make up double the dis
,trict's quota will be notified to APP
pear for physical examination.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
ruled that posting at the board head
quarters of the list of men ordered
to appear constitutes legal notifica-
ton. 1t therefore is incumbent upon
all registered men to learn their red
ink numbers at once and to see that
the board headquarters is watched
when the list is posted. Those Or
dered up also will be notified by
mail, but the period allowed for ap-
pearance will count from the post
ing of the list.
The ruling was in connection with
an order issued by the war depart
ment holding the ranks of the regu-
lar army open to registered men for
voluntary enlistment up to the time
such men have been posted as or
dered to appear.
The navy department has been no.
titled, also, that the army makes no
claim upon any registered men un-
til that time, so that registration is
no bar to enlistment in the army,
navy or national GUARD.

Fred WIDMAN CALLED
BY GRIM REAPER
Passed Away at Family Home on
West Bank Street at Early
Hour This Morning.

Frederick Widman, who had called

extended illness with hardening of
the arteries and catarrh of the stom-
ach. He had not been confined to

Since last evening his condition grew
gradually worse and this morning
death came as a welcome relief from
much suffering.
The deceased was born in Furst-
enburg, Baden, Germany. Nov. 5,
1912, and came to this country for
ty-six years ago, settling in FL
Paso, Ill. On Nov. 8, 1872, he was
united in marriage to Miss Elise
Menke at Ell Paso, and after living
in that place for some time the cou-
pie moved to Bloomington, Ill. The

UNCLE SANS GREAT
BIG POLICE SERVICE

Washington, July 24.-Uncle Sam
doesn't make as much noise about
his secret police agents as Kaiser
Bill does about his Wilhelmstrasse,
but the star spangled sleuths get
there just the same.
The Omitted States has one of the
biggest secret police systems in the
world. 1t centers in Washington.
1t is composed Of:
First, the bureau of investigation,
department of justice, headed b.,
Bruce Lielaski. In peace times this
organization hunted white slavers,
anti-drug law violators and other, Of
tenders. Now it hunts German spies
and pro-kaiserites.
Second, the secret service, headed
|by Chief Flynn. It's main duties
are to catch counterfeiters for the
treasury department and furnish the
President a secret service squad.
Third, secret police systems OF
other government departments
such as postoffice inspectors to nab
mail law violators.
The army and navy have their
own means of getting information OF
military value.
The biggest job right now is war
work. The secret service throws its
tentacles in every direction feeling
for plotters against the President.
The bureau of investigation masses
|disloyalist schemes. The army and
navy sleuths dig into enemy war
plans.
In their hunt for anti-American
agitators, Uncle Sans secret police
mingle with crowds, participate in
mass meetings, use the telephone.
If a mob gathers, the chances are a
quiet gentleman with little badge
in his pocket is among those pres
ent. They incline an ear to the raw
ings of pro-Germans and by mysteri-
Gus methods become aware of what
Americas foes are doing in Berlin
as we'll as in New York.
Through channels Sherlock Holmes
could never discover reports come
regularly into Washington. and or
ders go\ out. Many kaiser boosters,
although they remain blissfully ig-
norant of it. are watched by the gov
eminent as cat watches mouse.
Their doings and sayings are syste-
matically chronicled and filed away
for reference in Washington.

humanity's cause, and especially
near to every relative and friend
of soldier. A ticket selling cam
paign has already been begun, the
Campfire Girls, Red Cross workers,
and many others interested in patri-
otto endeavors doing their bit in this
manner.
That the motive is one of the
most worthy Of many worthy efforts

Liberty Bonds.

Washington. July 24.-It has
been repeatedly pointed out that in
purchasing liberty bonds the farm
ers of the United States were fur
nishing the means to their best GUS
toners to purchase the products of
their farms. Much of the proceeds
of the liberty loan, both that used
by the United States government
and the amount loaned to the allies.
is to be expended in purchasing food
and supplies for their armies from
the farmers of the country. There
are other reasons, however, that
make the liberty loan bonds espe-
cially desirable investments for
farmers.
A safe investment is particularly
suited to a farmer because he is in
most instances at a distance from
bond markets and not in position to
know of or Immediately act upon in
formation of matters affecting the
value of bonds. The liberty loan
bonds are invincibly safe, backed as
they are by the resources Of the rich
est nation in the. world and the faith
and credit of people who have al
ways respected their obligations. and
they are of stable value and liable
to little or no fluctuations in market
value.
