Correction

would like to announce that the
article inserted In the Northwestern
Bulletin last week by Mr.. J. C. Davis
of Chicago concerning the death and
burial of my husband, John Hough-
ton, is wholly untrue. Nor the state
ment that one John Lane was the
only person found who could render
assistance. The telegram to Chicago
to his brother-in-law, soliciting funds
and other incidentals were done with
out my knowledge. The body was
removed to the undertaken by myself
and permission to Mr.. and Mrs. Davis
to take the body to Chicago for burial
was given only through myself. These
misstatements of facts by the above
mentioned parties were of great in
justice to myself and sons. I make
this statement in order that all may
know that the service rendered was
either by myself or through my per-
mission. For any business affairs OF
Mr.. Houghton am to be seen and
not Mr.. Lane or Mr.. Davis.

made his last appearance for public
Office in this state. There are five
candidates for the Democratic nom-
ination for governor and his name
has not been brought forward as a
contestant for the honor. This is an
unusual situation. vardaman has
been one of the picturesque as well as
one of the most detested figures in
the political history of the state.
Dark, almost to the swarthiness of a
mulatto, he has been, nevertheless.
the most conspicuous shouter about
Negro dominance among all the pub
lie men during the past twenty-five
years in any part of the South. His
fade away" is being regarded as one
of the few healthy political signs of
the day.

THE effect Of this debt settlement

Lloyd Georges conclusions vary and
it all depends whether he is talking

STEVE DONOGHUEI MAY NOT BE ATOP PAPYRUS IN RACE

LONDON, Sept. 11.-English sports men, with their hearts set on the race between Papyrus and the best American three-year-old were badly fused Tuesday by q flock of rumors endangering the international event in one way or another.
 Worst of these was the report that Jockey Donoghue, most skillful of the British riders. would not be atop the British horse at the Belmont track in Long Island october 20.
 This rumor insisted that J. B. Joel, a stable owner, who. with Lord Wool avington. holds the prior right to Donoghue's expert services, was dis gruntled because he had not been consulted about the jockeys trip to America. As JoePs horses have number of important races ahead of them, 1t was reported that he will insist Donoghue stay in England to ride the Joel mounts
 Elsewhere, however, sportsmen were confident that Joel is open to persuas sion on the matter and will not be obdurate. Woolavir gton has al- ready approved Donoghues trip with Papyrus. Meanwhile, preparations for the departure of the horse and his extensive entourage are progressing with all speed.

 Tuarida. which was second to Tommy Murphy's Pearl Eenbo at Hartford. in the $10,OOo Charter O. stake last week, showed wonderful burst of speed on the stretch in both the second and third heats. Favonian took the first heat after a brush with Tommy Murphy's Clyde the Great, down on the inside of the field until her head was crowding Tuarida for the wire.

The Giants, with Jack Scott pitch ing in unbeatable form, hammered q trio of Boston moundsmen for total of IT hits at Braves field Tuesday and won easily by a score ofs10 to 0. The McGrawmen still lead by five full games.
 The Pirates settled themselves in Berth No. ? by whipping the Reds in Cincinnati, to 3. Pittsburg now leads by one and half games.

 After winning three consecutive times from the Red SoX, the Yankees faltered in an attempt to make clean sweep of the series, being set back by the Bostonians, 3 to O. How ard Shmke, pitching for the winners, almost duplicated his no-hit, no-run feat of last week letting the Hugmen down with one hit. The hit was made in the first inning by Whitey Witt, the Yankees d-off-man. It was a smashing drive toward third base anu was too difficult to be han died by the third saelzer in time to retire the batter at first.
 This was the only American league game, all other teams being kept in idleness due to gap in the schedule.

Fiirpo To Choose No Definite Plan
 His Own Plan Of or Attack Will Attack On Jack Be Used By Jack

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Sept. 11.-(By Associated Press )-When Jack Dempsey steps out of his cor her in the Polo Grounds ring Friday night to defend his title against Luis Angel Firpo he will have no fixed plan of battle in mind except to be careful, not take any dangerous risks, wait for the first opening. then crash over with the hardest sock can whenever I can land"
 The heavyweight champion, bun dled in a heavy sweater and drawing his chair close to fire that roared in the little stove in the living room of his training cottage declared to- day he never planned a fight in ad- take. because, he said, the best Of plans may be swiftly upset with a solid smash on the chin.
 Then you arc ip 2. tough spot, and haven't much time to rearrange your ideas Dempsey explained. It's possible that I may decide to fight Firpo the way l fought Willard back in Toledo four years ago-cir- cle around him, keep him from hit ting me, watch for the first open ing in sight and then whale away with everything l have. Most big men are easy to hit when you can outspeed them. But if I find that lIpO IS sl tOG6n blIu lO SUCK OI llldL ke is seeking me, 1 may switch my tactics.
 When l step into Firpo and begin to sock the fight may be decided by the first few punches. I want, to put every oI nee of my strength back Of them. If I am lucky enough to get him dizzy, I'll tear in for all l am am worth
 The title holde1 still has a trace of the old cold he contracted ten days ago, but it is mot bothering him much. He said he weighed about 193 pounds, and probably would en- ter the ring weighing about 190. The champion, because of his build. could pass as a middleweight. His thin legs are as hard as steel cables; his waist IS as thin as a woman's, and his body is lean, without an ounce of superfluous weight.
 The champion will take his last shave today when he goes to town from camp, twelve miles away, for haircut. He wants to have at least three days growth of black stubble on his face because, he says there IS less danger of cut from a rasping blow. He contends the skin would be made tender by shaving
