Correspondence of Associated Press
Bordeaux, June 1S.--Dr. Won Beth
mann -Hollweg, the German chancellor
vas recently declared by paper in
Paris to be of French origin, de-
scending from a Bordeaux family. The
possibility that the chancellor de-
scended from a family that once eX-
iSted in Bordeaux is admitted here,
but it is denied that he has any
Trench blood in his veins.
The BethmannS, who founded the
family that existed in Bordeaux and
Taris, came from Frankford to Bor-
deaux in tn eighteenth century and
were of Israelite origin, according to
the version prevalent here. The name
IS half Hebrew and half German,
beth" meaning house in Hebrew
and mann" meaning man" in Ger
man. The hyphenated name Be h
mam-Hollweg, it is explained, rig
mated in the marriage of sister
OF the Bethmann brothers, who were
bankers in Paris and Bordeaux, to {
German named Hollweg. Hollweg
TO a part of the banking
business and considering the name of
Pethmann of greater commercial value
than his own, inverted the usual or
der and this new family became the
Bethmann-Hollweg family, from
which the German chancellor may or
nay not descend.

JESS WILLARD WILL DEFEND HIS TITLE.

Jess Willard may defend his title after all this year. Two promoters, Jimmy Coffroth of California, who runs the race track at Tia Juana, and Matt Hinkel of Ohio are angling for the big fellows services, and both intimate that Jess does not turn an unwilling ear to their ef- forts.
 Coffroth travelled to Saratoga Springs to get few entries for his race meeting this winter, and incl 1entally to see Billy Gibson in re- gard to match. between Benny Leonard and possibly Charlie White Coffroth told of chat he had with Willard concerning a match between he champion and the winner of the Morris-Fulton bout at Canton, O., on Labor Day.
 According to Coffroth, Willard in- timated that he would like to hear l proposition for a bout on Thanks giving Day.

 Of all the heavyweights now Il the game there isn't one who stands as high in the public eye as Fulton That he is the logical man to meet Jess Willard for the worlds cham pionship is conceded by most critics He has, however the stigma of a defeat at the hands of Morris, which must be wiped out before he can hope to force the big champion into match. And, if he succeeds in getting Morris out of the way, it is probable that Willard still will demand a meeting with Frank Mor- an, the Pittsburg heavyweight. Tex Is Out of Game.

"The war is taking up too much of their time and too much of their money. l don't believe in trying to get the fight dollars while such war is in progress.

FULTON-MORRIS WILL BE ELIMINATION AFFAIR.

When Carl Morris and Fred FIJI ton meet in Ohio on Labor Day in a fuss billed over the 15-round route, all their squabbles over who is the better man should be settled. With decision attached to the agree ment, and with the go extending over the modest ten rounds, some one should be eliminated with little trouble, and the chances of foul to either man will be greatly less ened.
 Fulton must be given credit for having plenty of nerve-at least outside of the ring. Whether that requisite remains with him after he has entered the roped arena is some thing Morris has been prone to

RIGGS IS lNDORSEO
 BY CLUB MEMBERS

Following the action of the Ter ritorial Democratic committee, the members of the Nenana Conner cial clubhave unanimously indorsed Thomas Riggs, IT,, for appointment as governor of Alaska, to succeed Governor J. F. A. Strong, whose term of office expires this month. The action of the club was taken at the last regular meeting, held at the office of Commissioner Burns on Tuesday evening. Oth- CT civic and political organizations turnout the territory are taking similar action and reports received from the various sections indicate that Alaskans are united on the appointment. As a matter of fact Commissioner Riggs is the only man in the territory upon whom the Democrats have been able to agree and there is every reason to believe that he will receive the appointment, providing Secretary Lane can be induced to intrust the Interior end of the railroad work to some one other than MT. Riggs.
 The appointment has not been and is not now being sought by MT. Riggs. and if he is summoned to Juneau to assume charge of the territorial office his departure from Nenana will be a matter of no small regret to him. He has given the assurance, however, that his appointment will not affect railroad building in this division in the least, the work having already progressed to such an extent that its early completion will follow naturally, as part of general pro- program.
