Veteran Boxing Man, Fol-
Lo,Oing European Trip,
Expects Much From
Rangy Minnesotan
MAY FIGHT HERE SOON
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN

tom O'ROURKE has been familiar
name in boxing circles for many
years. He piloted George Dixon and
Joe Walcott to the top and made money
and history with other well known ring
actors.
e Tom o'Rourke is still in the game. 1t
is known generally by this time that
the veteran Tom believes in Fred Full
ton and is one of the few men who have
confidence in the big Minnesota ex-
plastcrer.
When Fulton apparently was through
ana parading up and down the coast
howling that Dempsey had given him
the double cross, virtually every one
deserted the squealing Minnesotan.
Ihere was one individual who saw pos
slDllltIes IN Fulton's huge hulk. That
was O'Rourke..
The first adventure was trip across
the pond, a short stay in England and
semitriumphant return. Fulton
cleaned up on the four outsiders sent
against him, and accomplished the task
in such decisive manner that he was
unable to land a match either with Car
pentier or Beckett.
AFTER dempsey
Fulton has not given up hope of Sc =
curing another meeting with Jack
Dempsey. Just few days before
O'Rourke sailed from Liverpool he
wrote to Harry Edwards, president OF
the Olympia, to get in communication
with Dempsey and sign the pair for a
six round bout in this city.
Dempsey refused to consider any kind
of bout at this time, as he is concen
trating upon the battle with Carpen-
tier. This is sure to be a profitable
venture, and it would be bad business
for the champion to take any chances
until after the Carpenter session.
Fulton never has appeared in this
city. His first bout in the East since
the Dempsey disaster probably will be
at the Olympia on January 81. Tom
O'Rourke has been negotiating with

EASTER ISLAND.

EASTER ISLAND.
Easter island is one of the
worlds unsolVed mysteries. This
patch of land far out in southern
Pacific waters contains monuments
more unexplainable than the
sphynx and, in all probability, OF
equal antiquity.
Easter island is a museum of
strange statuary placed there by
ancient people who at some IN
known time occupied the land.
They are weird figures, these old
IDOLS, carved in an angular style
that rivals the Egyptian for quaint
ness. They are less expertly de-
signed than the old Egyptian fig
ures, but the wonder is that they
are there at all, for some of the
statues weigh several tons, and
carved as each one is from one
huge block of stone it seems in
credible that they could have been
transported from the distant island
quarries. Even If this engineering
feet were possible, the mystery is
not explained, for the quarries con-
tain no such gigantic boulders as
those of which these heroic figures
are made.
The story of the figures and Of
the race which chiseled them is
carved everywhere in the stones,
but as the picture writing is so I'M
like any known hieroglyphics, and
as no key has yet been found, they
only add to the difficulty Of the
puzzle.
Easter island has its natives to-
day, but they are not the original
jewellers in the land, and do not
even claim to know anything of
previous inhabitants.
What the statue builders of this
southern isle called their home is,
of course, unknown. A Dutch ex-
ploIer opened the modern era of
the islands history when, on
Easter Sunday, 1872, he landed on
it's shores and in honor of the day
called it Easter island.

OFFICIAL STOPS
REMODELINC OF
OLD STRUCTURE
Mayor Schrfyer Orders Work On
e. HI. Guyer Building DiscOn-
tinued Because of Hazard

Remodeling of a. two-stofy wood
en- building on the southwest cor
ner of Third avenue and Twentieth
street, owned by f. H. Guyer, was
stopped yesterday afternoon by
order of Mayor HIM. Schriver.
The structure was formerly a
saloon and more recently was oc-
cupied as a clothing store Per-
NIT to remodeI<was obtained by the
owner during the closing days of
the regime of the last city admin
istration, Mayor Schriver says, and
no consideration was given at that
time to the question of whether or
not the building is suitable, safe
and durable.
Mayor Schriver says that Build
ing Inspector Lindros on examin-
ing the structure found that the
wall on the Twentieth street side
is inches out of plumb, Is feet
from the ground. He also declares
that the structure is a frame, is
within the fire limits, and is so
arranged on the interior that it is
a fire hazard and must be torn
down.
Says 1t Is Shell.
flre CnleI August OcnmluL also
inspected the structure before the
mayor took action. The chief de-
clared today that the building is a
shell, is fire trap and should be
removed. He saidsthat with a new
hotel going up In the same block
and other structures in that sec
ton being planned, it would be
unwise to permit a fire trap to
exist surrounded by modern build
ings.
Plans for remodeling the building
only called for a new front.

Well No. 2 on the Ellison lease
in Montgomery county, Kan, op-
grated by the Republic Oil Rein
ling company was brought in sue
cessfully yesterday according to a
wire from the field. There are 100
acres in this lease and il all the
locations prove as good as the first
two the company will have one of
the most valuable oil leases in
Montgomery county. These wells
finish at about LOO feet and re-
quire only about 10 days to drill
into the sand as the formation Is
very favorable for rapid drilling. 1t
is the intention to operate two
strings of tools on this lease as
soon as an additional contractor
can be secured.

Boy Scout News

Galva, ILL.,, has written to the
scout executive asking if there will
be any chance of their using the
second period at Rock Islands
and Geneseo camped with the Rock
Island scouts, but it is planned this
year to have so many local scouts
in camp that there will be no room
for outsiders. However, if there
are not enough boys for the sec
ond period, Galva will be given a
chance to send their scouts to the
camp. After their stay the regu-
lar camp for the colored boys will
be held.
Troop No. IL, which was organ
lied a month or so ago. is still up
holding the reputation it gained, of
being the youngest, Invest troop in
the city. Scoutmaster E. L. Bull
lard has something new for his
troop at every meeting and the
boys continue to be regular in
their attendance. Scout officials
are highly gratified at the splendid
showing which this troop is max
ing.
Troop No. 1 A and No. 1 B are
on the job as always and Scout
masters Louis GreineT and William
Rinck are doing splendid work.
Quite a number of this troop have
signed up for the summer camp,
but it is hoped thai several more
will have their names in by this
evening. The boys who have not
yet signed up are boys who are
working and who will not be GER
tain about going until the last
minute.
Headquarters received a new
bunch of signal flags yesterday
which will be used during camp
Quite a number of the scouts are
already proficient in this line Of
scouting, but it is hoped that
large number of the boys will be
able to pass the required tests be
fore coming back from camp. A
medal is being awarded to the boy
who makes the biggest advance
ment in his signal work.
A working party will go out to
the camp next Monday morning to
clean up the remains of the lum-
Der which has been left by the
CO .rpenters who put up the lodge.
The tents and kitchen utensils will
also be taken out that day and as
much work as possible be done be-
fore the camp opens.
