REPEAL BILL WILL HAVE TWENTY VOTES
 AHEAD IN HOUSE

, not think many states would go to the expense of holding special elec- tions to choose convention dele- gates. An overwhelming majority of house democrats were bound by a party caucus yesterday to vote for the repealer whether they liked 1t or not. The caucus took this action by vote of 115 to 46.
 Only 30 democrats availed them- selves up to today of the privilege of pleading "dry" campaign pledges and boiling the program. Republican surveys by the party whip, Rep. Bachman, w. Va, show ed 110 members in the anti-pro- hibitionist camp.
 These statistics led Democratic Leader Rainey to predict victor, | for repeal by 20 votes. Others I foresaw Q narrower margin, but every responsible house leader wal on record as believing passage as. sured
 Six votes defeated the Garner re. peal amendment in the house on the first day of the present session On that occasion, 103 republicans 168 democrats and one farmer laborite supported repeal.
 The republican leaders now claim to have added seven wet votes Democrats. on the basis of their caucus strength, should register an additional IA wet votes. Only one member, Rep. Sanders. dem., Tex is known to have switched from repeal to opposition.
 This afternoon, the republican "wet bloc" will follow the demo- cratic lead and meet to bind mem- bers in solid support of the repeal CT. This bloc numbers more than 90 members

 In 1894, Corbett appeared as an actor in "Gentleman Jim" at the Drury Lane theater in London. Henceforth he was to divide his interests between the ring and the stage. He was--an unusual trait in prize fightefg--a good actor. Even other actors admitted 1t.
 In 1897 he lost his heavyweight championship to Bob Fitzsimmons in a moment of what he termed Accidental carelessness." The knockout punch was blow in the pit of the stomach, and the "solar plexus punch" became a phrase known from one end of the coun- try to the other. He was never again able to regain the title.
 Two descriptions of the man il- 1ustrate his ability and character.
 "In every respect save slugging power" said R. l.. Duffus, "Snlli- van, Jeffries and Fitzsimmons were children beside him. He was as far remoygd from the mere brufser as the scIdier Is from the savage."
