 the ropes.
 T see the Omaha papers mention quite often the word 'stalling, When two men are wrestling on the square, as these men were there is no such a thing as 'stalling.' One man leads and the other blocks, if he can, and it takes just as
 much science to block as it does to lead. and sometimes more. Plestina blocked every lead that Stecher made for owe: two hours, but Stecher could not do that with Plestina, for Plestina got behind him and also put him to the mat and held him there for several minutes.
 The match was catch as catch can, | two best in three falls and to a finish, and so long as no foul was committed either wrestler had a right to lead or | block as long as he saw fit or could, and | the referee had no right to tell either of
 them to go down on the mat and let the other on top of him, and when Ref cree E. Reetz told Plestina to get down | on the mat and let Stecher on top he pulled something that I would not think l 1t possible to put over on as intelligent bunch of wrestling fans as there are in Omaha. No one but boob would go | down and let a man on top of him, nor | would any man who, knew how to referee

I do not know who l Ed Reetz is. but I think I am about as
 capable of refereeing as he is, and 1 know the wrestling game far better than l he does or ever will. and I say that il was the rottenest and most uncalled for

and made public avowal of their pur-
pose to maintain an open-air market

bers Of the association have withdrawn

AnfnnnishinQ the Bears

Veteran market opservers-men who
have made it q business to watch the
finer points of the stock trading game
remarked upon the character of the
market yesterday as contrasted with
the preceding day What impressed
them most was the "drying up'i of
offerings. Stocks in great supply on
Monday had to be bid for yesterday,
which indicated sharp contraction in
the offerings. An old Wall Street man,
IN calling attention to this aspect of
the trading, said it looked to him as if
the professional bears who have been
pounding the list for fortnight had
been told by some one high in authority
to clay off" and give the market a
chance. An incident in one of the
great bear campaigns of number of
year was when a leading financier
quietly sent out word to the profess
sionals to desist. On that occasion the
market Immediately steadied.

The War Finance Legislation.

the House will also lake favorable ac-
ticr on the bill. does not necessarily y
mean, bankers said yesterday that the
programme will 60 through. The
opinion is held in banking circles that
President Wilson VIII veto the bill
when it comes to him for his signature
Unless the requisite number of votes to
enact the legislation over the
veto can be mustered, that wou
put the matter over until the
next session of Congress. "After ALL"
said one banker, "Congress is mainly
concerned with getting itself on record
with having made a move to help the
farmer out of his predicament. If the
President vetoes the measure Congress
cannot be blamed for the failure OF the
legislation."

Taking losses lr. Exchange

Recent weakness in the foreign ex-
changes is attributed in part by the
manager Of the fore .gn department of
one of the largest Grwntown banking
institutions to selling to establish
losses for tax purposes. "People and
corporations which have taken a long
position in sterling or francs or other
foreign exchange" said this expert. "in
many cases have suffered heavy losses
from the depreciation in the exchanges
since early summer. and it would be a
most natural proceeding for them to
establish those losses so as to nut
them in their tax returns for this
year.

THRONE IS HIS MONUMENT
Copper Chair Given Chief Now
Marks His Burial Place.

LONDON. March 27.-Thc mas
sivc chair made of copper. which
natives believe was given by the lato
Queen Victoria OF England to an
Ashanti chieftain and used by him
as his throne, has been discovered in
the midst of jungle far from hu-
man habltation In the Gold Coast
colony West Africa. According to
native legend II was placed over the
grave of the chieftain who had oc-
cupied II when alive.
In their superstition they believe
no stlll sits upon his old throne in
spirit at certain times and, Tor this
reason. they have never tried TO
move the chair which. they declare,
has now rooted itself In the ground,
says dispatch to the Daily Graphic.
A Gold Coast surveyor first stun
blcd across this curiosity. a search
party returned to the spot and found
the jungle so dence that the natives
had to hack a path with cutlasses
through the underground,
In spite OF inquiry. no coufirma-
ton OF the native story as to the
history OF the chair has been obtain
able and how II came 20 be in the
jungle remains a mystery.
