 Ketchell weighed just 165 pounds an ideal weight for a middleweight Johnson, in perfect trim, just 205 and had it on him by inches in the reach.
 Imagine the amazement of the ring outgeneraled, outboxed and outgamed Johnson. The negro's rapier-like left struck at Ketchell like an adder's head only to find the mark missing.
 There was talk before the fight that Johnson was to string it out for the benefit of the fight pictures. If this was true he proved good actor. The opening of the twelfth round found him seeing red-one of the few times he ever lost his head. He rushed at Ketchell, head down, with murder in his heart ketchell neatly sidestepped him and hit him a glancing blow on the head which knocked Jack off his balance He fell all over the ring. He came up fighting like lion at bay.
 Three blows any one of which would have ended the ordinary man, landed on Ketchell's jaw, stomach and head. The last two blows came as he was falling from the first. Johnson could not stop himself, so fierce had been his attack. The two fell almost togeth- Katcbol1 did not mn
 The battle with Johnson was but one of several heroic ones Stanley had His fights with Papke, which cost him and then regained him, the middleweight title, were spectacular affairs.
 Ketchell had outponted Papke once in a ten-round bout when the pair met in Los Angeles in title go. Ketchell was always courteous and sportsman like, and started to go through the usual formula of shaking hands when the first bell sounded. Papke ignor- ed the offered courtesy and sent shower of blows to Ketchels head and body. Ketchell was on the floor be- fore the fans really knew the fight was on. He had been knocked down three times before the round ended Despite this trickery and the calamity 1t brought on he fought gamely for 12 rounds. From the second round on was blinded from blows to his eyes and blood was oozing from them in the eleventh he was knocked out of the ring. But when the end of the 18th came it was Ketchell and not Papke who drew the cheers.
 A few months later Ketchell got an- other chance at Papke, and oh, what sweet revenge. He fairly toyed with Papke. Wary of Papkes tricks and rushes Ketchell was contented to pep per away at him. As the fight pro- gressed Ketchell played for Papke's head. Pulled Papke's guard up. Then ill the eleventh he walked from his corner, watching his chance and put three blows in the pit of Papke's stomach. Papke doubled up. As he covered his stomach Ketchell drove a rain of blows at his head
 Ketchell fought Frankie Klaus, Sam Langford, Porky Flynn, Willie Lewis, and Jim Smith after his great battle with Johnson. He felt the need of rest and sought it on a farm in Mis- souri. It was there that farm hand. becoming temporarily deranged, shot and killed Ketchell.

day. "Of course, there was a slight
delay Just before the time for the
opera to start as automobiles unload
ed their passengers at the E street
entrance, but the delay was of short
duration and was not any more Sc
rious than Is to be expected on such
occasions.
No tie-ups were noticed at the
K street or New York avenue en-

out to perfection. BY making Z,

most of the confusion experienced be-

debts from reparations. 1t was de-
clared. The country. in the opinion
of Official circles, is not yet ready for
consideration of these two questions
separately
Must Reach Compromise.
This, 1t was intimated. is the only
point that prevents immediate ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Churchilrs note as
debts to Great Britain. There must
be a compromise on this point, it is
thought, or Premier Herriot will have
4 hard row to hoe when the question
gets into Parliament, in view of the
pressing nature of the reconstruc-
ton problem.
The victims OF war damage in
Northern France are becoming impa-
tient at the delays in the payment of
reparations and have been indulging
in disQuieting demonstrations lately.

Britain without assurance that
France was going to get anything
substantial from Germany for French
restoration might be utilized by the

Another fine actress in leading

big voice and vivid tones, added to
her statuesque person, made her part
one that will stand out in the men,
ory of all who saw the performance.
Gladys Swarthout sang shepherds

charming youthful pages. The others
were Elizabeth Kerr, Alice d'Her-
NANCY and Edith Orens.
Forrest Lamont, in the title role.

act well, although his twanging of q
small harp apparently possessed of
rubber strings rather detracted from
the dramatic value Of hts number
His tones increased In beauty and in
relaxed method Of production as the
opera advanced, and his aria Of the
last act was perhaps his best piece
of singing, both vocaliy and dramat
ically. Romeo Boscacci, William
Beck, Jose Mojica and Antonio Nico-
Itch were good in smaller roles.
''Tannhauser" Is an opera OF big
moments, rich melodies and occa-
sional wearisome aridness 1t Is a
colorful work, however. on the whole,
and probably has rarely been given
finer production than was presented
here last night. The unity Of work
Of the company deserves high COM
mendation and causes one to look
forward with added interest to the
other three performances here.

Traffic conditions seemed much i'm
proved over those at the time of the
first production in the Auditorium,

pIished unostentatiously and easily.
The air in the hall was incliped to be
close, probably due to the sudden

PARLIAMENT OPENS:
| IN NBALDW|NSGR|P
Premier Expected to Put His
Program Through-Scot-
| tiSh Church Peace Seem.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

by Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, February 1o.-Reaction
promises to characterize the session
of Parliament which resumed today
after lengthy recess. Nothing in the
way of temperamental burst of
speed can be expected from the Con-
servative party led by an unconditional
man of Prime Minister Baldwin's type.
There may be a noisy but futile op-
position from both the Liberals and
socialists, but 1t cannot alter the pro-
gram which already has been mapped
out by the masters of the House of
Commons.
First will come the debate on the
proposals to protect industries from
unfair competition. Prime Minister
Baldwfn's cabinet and colleagues have
cleverly arranged this business by ex-
tendlng the powers granted under the
"safeguarding the industries" act of
1920, which allows the imposition of
duties on. foreign products entering
the United Kingdom wherever they
compete unfairly with British prod
ucts.
Opposed by Lloyd George.
David Lloyd George, as leader of
the Liberal party, has attempted to
read into this proposal an underhand-
ed return to the policy of protective
tariffs. Even those Conservatives of
free trade convictions look askance
upon the imposition of new duties,
but they will not interfere with the
government program. If sufficient
outcry arises in the provinces against
the details of the plan, Prime Minis
ter Baldwin may agree to slight modi-
fications, but in the main his ideas
will go through.
Another piece of legislation which
is pending aims at prohibiting trade
unions from levying upon their men,
bers' salaries for the support of the
Labor Party. Workers all over the
country who hold liberal or con-
servative views object to donating a
portion of their annual wage to po-
litical organization.
After so years of disruption it is
likely that this Parliament will once
more reunite the Church of Scotland.
Since 1S43 a great body of Scotch
worshipers has steadfastly refused to
have anything to do with the old
church while 1t accepted the patron
age of the state or allowed state in
reference with the freedom Of wor-
ship.
Last Obstacle Removed.
Parliament heard read today for
the second time the bill which re-
moves the last legal obstacle to
bringing the dissenters back into the
fold with the established church.
The present bill abolishes the endow-
ment to which the dissenters objected.
Other objections raised during the
session of 1s43 disappeared years ago.
state patronage having been aban-
doned SO years since.
The final healing of this old breach
holds considerable interest for Chris
tian churches, throughout the world,
for the hope of reunion seems to
grow stronger as time dims the mem
ories of wrongs or ancient quarrels.

For the second time inside of a
month noted personages, gorgeously
appareled, filled the new Washington
Auditorium last night to listen to
opera. All circles of official and resi-
DENTAL society were generously rep
resented. although the President and
Mrs. Coolidge did not attend. The oc
casion was the presentation of Tam
hauser," majestic opera by Richard
Wagner, an effective work to select
for the opening of the grand opera
season here by the Chicago Civic
Opera Co.
Beautifully decorated with fine
stage settings and remarkably rich
costuming, the pompous and religious
music of this opera was unfolded by
talented singers in four hours of brill
liant dramatic and melodious inter-
pretation. Henry G. Weber, youthful
conductor of orchestra and cast, de-
serves special credit for the fine fln-
ish of his work and the nfcety OF
balance between vocal and instru-
mental production. .f.Ft
BaIlet's work Graceful. tH'
The ballet. which opens the opera,
was given with graceful smoothness,
but the limitations Of the stage
seemed to hamper it's effectiveness.
The chorus was excellent, with spe-
cial beauty In the marvellous choral
passages of the second act. Also the
famous Pilgrims Chorus" was worked
up to with skill. The power of its
effect was added to in the way In
which it fitted into the rest of the
musical picture rather than being
separated and overemphasized. as is
frequently the case with such well
known favorites among opera selec-
tions The chorus also proved hne
in dramatic work.
Although Rosa Raisa dominated the
opera in her remarkable interpreta-
ton of Elizabeth's exceedingly dra-
matte and difficult role, Joseph
Schwarz, basso, as Wolfram, and
Alexander Kipnis as Hermann gave
their roles artistic readings and
proved possessors of beautiful voices,
inteliigently used. Mr.. Schwarz's
German pronunciation was especially
good, and his great aria. 20 du mein
holder Abendstern" was an inspiring
piece Of work.
Miss Raisa seemed to lack a bit
in poise upon her first appearance
in the second act when she was
received by the audience with a
veritable ovation. AS a possible re-
suit of this, her first aria "Dich,
teure Halle" was not given with the
fine finish and relaxed power of her
"prayer'' In the last act Her duet
with Tannhauser, which Immediately
followed her first aria, however, was
a feature Of the performance, vocal
ly and dramtically. Her appearance
was charming, both her regal cos
tune of the second act and her nuns s
attire being beautiful costumes,
gracefully worn. She made Elizabeth
