referee gave the decision to Johnson
Johnson left the country in 1913
going to Europe, and a tournament
was held in California for white heavy
weights, which was won by Luther
McCarty. He was recognized as the
heavyweight champion of America.
On May "a, 1913, McCarty met Ar
thur Pelkey in Calgary, Canada, and
was knocked out N the first round.
He collapsed and died in the ring.
Pelkey was reluctantly accepted as
the white heavyweight champion, but
was knocked out in fifteen rounds on
Jan. l, 1914. by Gunboat Smith at
San Francisco.
This ended the so-called effort to
dig up white heavyweight champion
ship, for the quality of the boxers
was so poor that the public refused
to recognize sIch title. In the mean
time Johnson met and defeated Frank
Moran, white heavyweight of Pitts
burgh, in twenty rounds In Paris.
Jack johnson agreed to meet Jess
Willard on April ), 1915, in Havana,
Cula, and was knocked out in twenty
six rounds. Willard has defended his
title just once, defeating Frank Moran
in tame ten-rGund bout in New
York, March 25, 1916.

OMSk

Omsk, like other insignificant plac-
es, has had greatness thrust upon it.
The Omsk Of today, the seat of the
only stable government in Russia and
the one that Allies only are fayoring,
is far different from the little town in
the midst of Siberia where twenty-five
years ago the exiles used to rest.
There are still many people who still
picture Siberia with barren treeless
plains in a land of more or less eter-
nal snow, with nothing but the shack
of the exile to break the sky line.
The city of Omsk, along with the
rest of Siberia, has suffered in reputa-
tion because of the ignorance Of peo-
pie about it, 1t has remained in many
minds just as the vivid pen of Dos
tOevsky drew it, But the Omsk of
Dostoieysky has disappeared. What
was in that authors time a village is
now a large prosperous city. There
is nothing about it different from the
usual modern city, with its theaters,
music halls, and parks. In normal
times it has a population OF about
100000 but today its inhabitants num-
Der nearly a half million. 1t is steadi-
ly Transforming itself into real cap
ital.

Sullivan First Real
World Champion
JACK DEMPSEY

There was no real worlds champion
in the heavyweight class until John l.
Sullivan made his claim of the title
after having defeated Jake Kilrain
and Paddy Ryan. The title was rec
, ognized as vested in him at that time
and has been handed down through
succession of pugilists.
Sullivan was the first heavyweight
champion under Queensbury rules and
engaged in the first heavyweight bout
ever contested with gloves when he
was defeated by James ]. Corbett.
Since Sullivan's time only one cham
piOn has held the title who was not an
American-BOb Fitzsimmons. Fitz
really was an American in everything
he did, but he was born in England,
and came to this country from Aus
tralia. Several foreigners have at
tempted to wrest the title from hold
ers in this country, but never has
the effort been successful.
Sullivan lost his title to Corbett
Sept. T. 1892 at New Orleans.
CorDett was beaten in fourteen
rounds at Carson City, New, by Bob
Fitzsimmons, March II, 1897.
Fitzsimmons was knocked out in
eleven rounds at Coney Island, N. Y,
June 9, 1899, by James ]. Jeffries.
Jeffries defended his title success
fully against several challangers, in
cluding Fitzsimmors, whom he again
knocked out in eight rounds on July
25, 1902, at San Francisco; Tom
Sharkey, whom he outpointed in
twenty-five rounds at Coney Island,
and Jack Munroe, who lasted only
two rounds at San Francisco, Aug. 26,
1904.
Jeffries retired in 1905, and after
Jack Root had been knocked out by
Marvin Hart in a bout refereed by
Jeftries, the champion presented Hart
with the title and belt. Jack O'Brien
claimed the title, but was given no
recognition. The public also disliked
to accept Hart and after Tommy
Burns had defeated him on Feb. 90,
1906 and was subsequently defeated
in 1908 in Australia by Jack Johnson,
clamor became so great that Jeffries
was induced to enter the ring to save
the title from passing into the hands |
of a negro.
Jeffries proved an easy mark for
Johnson in their memorable meeting
on July 4, 1910. The negro won in !
fifteen rounds.
After Johnson's ascension of the
heavyweight throne, the class of big
fighters declined steadily. Johnson !
met Jim Flynn, good, small man, at
Las Vegas, N. Mex, July 4, 1912, and !
knocked him out Police
stopped the unequal contest and the

WILL LEARN TO VOTE

what do they know about voting ?
They'll vote the way their husbands
tell them to or the other way just for
spite" We hear these whispers.
But women. at least the women of
Missouri, are as anxious to know how
to vote as they are to vote. They have
realized that the privilege is nothing
or even worse than nothing without
the power to use it in the best way.
They will not go about their share in
the political world in the blind in
stinctive way so many think charac-
teristic Of them.
The women of Boone County are
asking for leader and teacher for a
school of citizenship in which they
will be taught not only the mechanics
of voting but contemporary political
issues. The school will tend toward
no particular political party but will
attempt to give its students an un-
biased knowledge of the principles of
all parties.
1t would not be surprising if some
of the women, after the course they
are planning to take, would become
even better voters than some men,
who have fallen blindly into the steps
of past generations. For many are
Democrats or Republicans mostly ''be-
cause" which is supposed to be a
woman's reason.

SOCIETY

A number of Columbians attended
the wedding, last week, of Miss Mary
Alice Hanna, of Trenton, to DR.. ]. C..
Parrish, OF Vandalia, at Trenton. The
following details are from the latest
issue of the Trenton Weekly Repub-
lican.
Miss Hanna was graduated from
the University in 1909. Doctor Par
rish was formerly member OF the
| Board of Curators of the University.
"The ceremony took place at the
| Presbyterian church in the presence
of more than three hundred friends.
Before the ceremony an orchestra con-
sisting of Mr. Jarles Bailey, Miss Alice
Mason and Mrs. Chas. d. GipsOn, play
ing behind the bank of flowers which
formed the back ground for the altar
rendered such timely selections as "Oh.
Promise Me-" and Believe Me If All
Those Endearing Young Charms"
After Lohengrin's Wedding March
had been played by Mrs. Allen Blake,
of Moline, ILL.,, James Bailey and Mrs.
Gipson, the minister, the Rev. n NJ.
Tatum, took his place before the altar
and Dr. A. Ross Hill, of Columbia,
Mo-, and W. T. Nardin, of st. Louis,
groomsmen entered.
Preceding the wedding party was
little Samuel Hanna, Jr., ring bearer,
followed by the maid of honor, Miss
Carrie Pancoast, who was gowned i'll
pink georgette and lace and carried
huge corsage bouquet. Followed Mrs.
w. T. Nardin, matron of honor, who
wore pink and lavender taffeta gown
also carrying a large corsage bou-
quet.
The bride entered on the arm of
her father, Mr.. S. c. Hanna. She wore
a gorgeous white satin gown, with
Duchess lace, and long bridal veil
held in place with orange blossoms,
and carried an arm bouquet of white
roses.
Following the ceremony the guests
departed to the strains of Mendels- |
sohn's Wedding March.
About hundred guests, including |
immediate relatives and friends, were |
entertained at Il reception at the
Hanna home on West Fourteenth |
street, after the wedding The re-
freshments consisted of chicken salad,
sandwiches, olives, heart ice cream,
heart-shaped cakes. coffee, mints and
salted nuts. A beautiful big wedding
cake, adorned with roses and contain
ing the usual collection of coins, rings,
etc, was passed among the guests A
of young girls, largely men,
bers of the Presbyterian Sunday
School did the serving.
After the reception there was the
usual merriment which occurs on
such occasions and to add to this feat
ure, some thoughtful guest had sum-
moned the city fire department force
to participate il the charivari. Rice
was thrown in great profusion while
old shoes, COW bells, etc, played their
usual promine mt parts.
"Dr and Mrs. Parrish left Wednes-
day evening on their honeymoon trip
to Chicago and points east and north,
although their route had not been def
initely planned. They will be at home
after July l at Vandalia, Mo-"

COLUMBIA'S CHAUTAUQUA

Like Christmas, Chautauqua Week
comes but once year.
There is probably not town in
Missouri which has more going on in
the way of entertainment and en-
lightenment than Columbia. Every
year is held here the Missouri Farm
ers' Week and Journalism Week in
connection with the University, and
this year the town will hold Fourth
OF July celebration and chautauqua.
Even the larger cities can hardly COM
pete with the Athens of Missouri"
when it comes to attracting noted lee
turers and men of fame
A problem of the average chautau-
qua manager is to get men to speak
and musicians to play who are famous
enough to advertise the chautauqua
more than the chautauqua advertises
the talent. Columbia has been for
tunate in the years she has held a
chautauqua in getting good talent and
in having an ideal location for the
chautauqua tent.
Columbia is essentially an intellec-
tual center-a city OF good homes and
good schools. People move to Co
lumbia to enjoy the advantages of edu-
cation and intellectual enlightenment
that are to be found here.
Columbia's chautauqua deserves the
hearty support Of everybody in Co.
lumbia who enjoys good wholesome
entertainment of a high order and ev-
eryone who believes in bigger and
better Columbia.
Columbia's chautauqua will be held
August 21 to rs this year on the
stephens College campus.
