Still They Vote for Big
Fight--Across the Water

Tho the voting coupon on
which Times readers expressed
their opinion whether willard and
Fulton ought to fight in ring
in the U. S. A. or in the trenches
of France has not appeared in this
paper for nearly two weeks, the
votes are still coming in with ev-
cry mail.
They continue to be unanimous
for staging the big battle across
the water. The Minnesota au-
thorities who now have turned
down what seems to be the pro-
moter's last hope Of staging the
ring affair in this country ON the
Fourth of July appear to have
public sentiment all with them.

iproyed in order to save his life.
All these fantastic hopes van
ished at the morning of his
death. when Bolo was awakened
by the governor OF the prison en-
tering his cell.
'ttlave courage, Bolo," said the
governor. You must prepare
yourself"
Realized His Fate.
Bolo stammered: "What?
What!" Then. when he realized
the awful truth, he fell helpless
4 ly back upon his bed. By a SUI
preme effort he pulled himself to-
gether and put on a new suit Of
clothes which his brother, Mgr.
Bolo, the famous preacher, had
brought him previously. Auto
maticaliy he adjusted his white
! tie, smoothed out the folds OF his
coat, put on a soft felt hat and
white gloves, and quietly declared
himself ready.
Bolo was placed in a motor car
and was driven rapidly out to
Vincennes. At the entrance of
the ancient castle Bolo was taken
from the car and handed over by
the prison governor tn the mill
tary authorities.
He was obviously all in and
would have fallen had he not been
held up by guard. His face
was the color of chalk. When he
was called on to sign the register
he was able to take off his glove,
but the signature. sprawling all
across the page, gave evidence OF
his frantic state of mind.
The condemned man was then
led back to the car, which, sur.
rounded by an escort Of cavalry
at sharp trot, was driven rapid
ly off to the shooting post in the
forest nearly mile from the fort.
His Last Request.
Bolo reached the fatal post one
minute before 6 o'clock. The fir
ing party already was drawn up.
IL was composed of three SER
geants, three corporals and six
private soldiers. all armed with
rifles and under command of a
lieutenant with drawn sword.
Bolo was taken out Of the car and
led to the post, where the sentence
of the court-martial was slowly
read to him. He listened like a
man already dead. and seemed no,
to hear word OF the grim phra-
seology.
Soldiers attached his inert body
to the post with straps, and he
was asked II he wished to have his
eyes bandaged. Bolo made an
other desperate effort to pull him
self together. and succeeded in
nodding his head in the affirma-
tive. AS a soldier was tying O
blue handkerchief over his eyes,
Bolo said In a voice from which
all tone had gone:
Don't tie ii so tightly"
A moment later the lieutenant
in command of the firing party
lowered his sword, and twelve
rifles spoke as one. Bolo died
Instantly.
The body was placed upon the
floor OF a military wagon, and
surrounded by the escort OF trot-
ing cavalry with juggling spurs
and rafting swords the vehicle
Numbered Off rapidly into the
woods.

On the Move:
House Breaks

The sleep of the residents near
18th and Commerce streets was
disturbed Sunday morning when
the cable holding the section of
a house that was being moved up
the hill broke, and part OF the
house collapsed with a loud
crash. The part that was de-
stroyed was used for a kitchen,
and II, r. Hines, who is living in
the main part of the house, esti-
mates the loss at about 500.
The house is the property of
Otto Duval and was being moved
from A street to e street, but
because Of the difficulty with the
cable cars the kitchen was re-
moved and was being carried up
the hill separately.

The cabled accounts Of the
execution Of the death sem
tence upon Bolo Pasi,a, print
ed at the time in The TIMES,
indicated that the French spy
met his fate with nonchal-
ance. For that reason the
following account, Published
by the New York Times and
credited to its Paris CORE
spondent, possesses interest,
since IL presents an entirely
different picture Of the man
who paid the death penalty
after his conviction On
charge Of treason:
Bolo Pasha was shot at spot
reserved for the shooting of trait
ors to France in the forest of Vim
cennes. just outside Paris. Day
after day since he first announced
after the hour Of the execution OF
the death sentence had been fixed
that he wished to make a state

tai moment by making further
revelations. Each day at the end
of his statement the examinins

for eight years from the effects of ma
Ignant blood poisoning.
Eight years ago horse stepped on
the great toe of his left foot. The toe
was amputated, then the toe next to it
and finally all the toes of that foot.
To save his leg the foot was ampu-
tated at the ankle. Several months
later the leg was amputated at the
knA and then at the hip. Within a
year the right leg had to be removed at
the ankle.
Specialists tried to avoid another
operation, but with no success. Jack
son was admitted to four hospitals and
was attended by some of the best sur
geons in the East. At last his right leg
was amputated at the hip, making the
seventeenth operation. This seemed to
provide a stop to the inroads of the
blood poisoning. But three weeks ago
surgeons told Jackson that to save his
life the four fingers of his right hand
which had become infected, would
have to be removed. Despairing, Jack
son killed himself.

BIG MEN LONG FAST FRIENDS
Appreciation OF Each Others Genius
Drew Henry Watterson and James
Whitcomb Riley Together.

Some winters ago 1t was common
sight on q certain hotel veranda in
Miami, Fla, to see two white-haired
gentlemen of the old school-one old
and bent, the other active despite the
gray head-conversing in intimacy.
This corner Of the porch was COM
monty known to the hotel guests as
the "Watterson-Riley corner" The
friendship between Marse Henry Wat
terson and James Whitcomb Riley was
based upon appreciation Of one genius
for another.
If one had ventured near enough
to these two he could have heard Mr..
Riley reciting his poems over many
times to Colonel Watterson. Colonel
Watterson would ask Mr.. Riley to re-
cite "Granny's Come to Our House to
Stay" over and over again. They
were constant companions except
when Colonel Watterson played golf,
as he was wont to do, for Mr.. Riley
was an invalid many years before his
death.
On one Of Mr.. Riley's birthdays the
school children celebrated with q pa
rade. Mr.. Riley recited many Of his
poems from platform, While he was
supported by nurse. Before he fin.
ished he said, "Now I refer you to the
greatest editor and educator in our
country" indicating Colonel Waiter.

Boston.-Lieut. Everett Pope, one OF
Harvard's most famous oarsmen. Is
convalescent In French hospital af-
ter one Of the most remarkable recov-
cries recorded In these days when army
surgeons and nurses are working
miracles every day. Lieutenant Pope
was severely wounded during the fight
ing around Chateau-Thierry and for
days his life was despaired of. Then
it was found that the hospital in which
he was being treated was in the same
town where his mother was employed
in an officers rest station. She was
summoned, and from the moment his
lips whispered the word mother" and
his eyes beheld his relative, Lieuten-
ant Pope's recovery was assured.
Lieutenant Pope was one of the grad
yates of the first class at Plattsburg,
n. Y, and early was on French sol TAX
ing final training with the American
troops. When the memorable offensive
at ChateauThierry was started, Pope
went forward with a regiment Of infan-
try. Fighting like q wild man for
hours, he was finally knocked out by
machine gun fire. His shoulders We're

lost his belt, coat, and other insignia
