COntenders For Willard Crown Make
 Sorry Showing-Fulton Twice Tries to Leave Ring-End Comes in Sixth

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 4.-After warn ing Carl Morris, the sapulpa Giant, a dozen times yesterday afternoon at the Canton Ball park for putting with the head and hitting on the break away, Referee Matt Hinkel disqual- flied the offender in the sixth round of his contest with Fred Fulton.

 When Morris left the ring he was attacked by mob of angry specta-

 The spectators were given a thrill near the end of the race when Tom Alley, roaring down. the stretch in front of the grand stand, threw a rear wheel. The car skidded toward the stand and then Alley quickly straight ened it and held it to the track.

when the B. & o. ran two trains. one
each way through part of the road
which was under wafer. The Monon-
gahela Valley Traction company ran
its first car to Warrington from Fair
mont at II a. m. today.
The interurban between Fairmont
adm Clarksburg was abandoned with
the first car this morning. Cars were
run from Faimout to WorthingtOn and
from Hutchinson TO Clarksburg. 9th
er lines were cut off from time to time
but have been running through during
the afternoon hours. Clarksburg cars
should be running through by p. m.
The Baltimore and Ohio station at
Warrington suffered when tho gas line

caught fire. The station was slightly
burned. The water was very high in
Warrington and got up into the of.
flee OF the Bartlett hotel. The Monon-
gah division Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad was running passenger trains
as much as 15 hours late today, due
to the rains. The waters in some man
ner rushed into the West Union tun-
mel and held all trains for 10 hours.
Water is on the track at CORVALLIS
and Ellenboro just east of Parkers-
burg, and will hold up the main line
trains indefinitely.
Clarksburg reports the water into
the pump station and the same is true
of Grafton though neither city expects
any Inconvenience due to the pumps
being out of operation. Clarksburg has
auxiliary pumps which will be used
for several days and Grafton has a
supply of water which will last about
six hours in the event the water pre-
vents pumping a new supply. Grafton
also reports that the cellars of houses
on the West Side are under water and

The Monticello bridge at Clarks-
burg, the one over which the Baltimore
and Ohio runs its West Virginia and
Pittsburgh division trains is damaged
but this will not hold up traffic. Re-
pairs can be made in few days. AL
though hundreds of families in Clarks-
burg had left their homes near the riv-
cr they have returned, only to be greet
ed by the damage done by the water
flooding the house.

10 hours late on the Baltimore and

these trains were held up by a land
slide at Barrackville where the rains
had loosened tons of rock, letting them
fall to the track below. The track is
about clear of the wreckage and should
be running normal by midnight to-
night.

copyrighted pictures taken by Enrique

they did a large part of the entire navy.
were greatly enjoyed by the large. audi

Perhaps the most impressive picture
of the whole set was that Of the new

Mr.. Grey Explains Why Flag
Is Not Raised at Eaton Factory
Wants TO Know if Wilson Means /

A fine new flag was purchased, and
is now in the plant, but Mr.. Grey was
in Massachusetts when the various
stores and business concerns about
town commenced raising their flags,
and when he got back he decided to, as
he puts it, wait and see what is going
to be done this time" He told the man
from the Journal that he believes that
the Wilson administration has waited
until patience is no longer a virtue, and
that, while he is thoroughly in sympa-
thy with the policy for the future that
Wilson has outlined, he wants to know
how much OF it is meant before n,
again displays the flag.
II expect that a declaration Of war
will come within very few days. On
the day that it does come, we will raise
the flag over the Eaton shoe factory
and nail it there. and it won't come
down. Until that time there is, Il
seems to me, nothing to raise 1t fol-"
said Mr.. Grey. and the Journal man,
realizing that there was a good deal IN
what he said, thanked him and went
thOughtfully away.
