This time the two, who have turned professionals, raced for money offered them by an American sporting promoter. Richard .Croker started the men in their last race.

Affairs of the Sporting World

The following bit of valuable information is boldly pilfered from an Anderson exchange: .,, Bob Manogoff, the big Turk, left for Canada yesterday after enjoying one of those large Thanksgiving feasts. Bob- went to Chicago first, where he will start training for a few bouts which he has at Montreal, Canada, early in December. He has some tough propositions he says in King Edward's dominions. Wrestling is one of the principal sport pastimes for the Canadians. The Turk will return to Indiana by December 8, and Promoter Charlson states that he will probably meet Olson here at the Grand opera house on that night Anderson wrestling fans have longed for this match for quite awhile. Promoter Charlson has definitely arranged to pull off a battle between Olson and Demetral at the coliseum on the evening of Friday, December 11. Demetral, be it known, is a Greek mat artist and holds the belt signifying that he is the middleweight champion of all Merrie England. This belt will be exhibited here shortly. The Paulson-Dwyer match, at the New Phillips Friday evening of this week, will undoubtedly draw a large crowd. Both are as clever middleweights as are found in this part of the country and they should furnish some fast and interesting sport.

INTIMATES LAW IS TOO DRASTIC

Elliott Believes Kirkman "Blind Tiger" Amendment Is Good One. MANY LAWS ARE WEAK. EXCESSIVE PUNI8HMENT FOR CRIME PREVENTS CONVICTION, FORMER REPRESENTATIVE SAYS. One of the attorneys involved in the Martln-Chitwood case, now on trial in the "Wayne circuit court, is R. N. Elliott, of Connersville. Mr. Elliott is a former member of the state legislature. When asked about the proposed amendment by Roscoe E. Kirkman, of this city, to the "blind tiger" law, Mr. Elliott said he believ ed it would prove a satisfactory solution of the difficulty that develops when attempts are made to enforce the present law. Mr. Elliott stated that it too often happens that laws are made so drastic that they spoil their own effects He referred to the old laws that were passed in . the early history of this state and called attention to many that provided capital punishment for minor offenses. He cited sheep stealing as one, which years ago was punishable by the death sentence. As the result Of this law it was seldom that a jury would convict of the crime, be - cause it was not believed the offense warranted the punishment. That he had heard of the difficulties that have been encountered in Wayne and other counties In the attempts to prosecute alleged violators of the "blind tiger" law, because of its severity was admitted by Mr.1 Elliott. He appeared conversant with these circumstances and intimated he believes the fault lies in the law. He said he had not had opportunity to give the matter very serious consideration but believes that if he were, going to be a member of the next legislature, he would favor the amendment. Senator Kirkman proposes a revision of the present law. maklne a iail sentence optional with the jury upon the first conviction and requisite upon conviction. In a once famous tea district of India the cultivation of rubber has driven the production of the former to second place, nearly 17.000 acres being devoted to ruber plantations.

Eighteen of the six hundred or more voters of the fourth ward met last ev-j ening at the No. 4 hose house and per-j fected ward organization for the county local option fight. This meeting was called by Ward Temperance Chairman C B. Hunt. The eighteen enemies of the saloons were addressed by the Rev. R. J. Wade, the Rev. Conrad Huber, Thomas Jessup and Timothy Nicholson, president of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league. The following were appointed chairmen of the five precincts of the fourth ward : Precinct No. IS C. B. Hunt. Precinct No. 19 John M. Coate. Precinct No. 20 W. H. Meerhoff. Precinct No. 21 E. J. Humpe. Precinct No. 22 Richard Bartel. Henry Moelk.

The committeemen and their assistants will also circulate a petition asking that a county local option election be held. Before the committeemen were appointed Clifford Pie hi was appointed secretary of the meeting. Mr. Hunt stated that the Anti-Saloon league representatives who were in the city last Sunday advised that immediate action be taken in this county for holding an option election and he thought this was a wise move. He stated that the work of circulating a petit'on for the election was now !n progress and fiat the temperance people had opened up headquarters at room 41 Kelley-Hutchlnson block. Mr. Hunt stated that in the impending election politics and religion did nut enter mio consiaeration. Me saia tnai' the only question at stake was whether or not the saloons should or should not continue to operate in this county. Mr. Nicholson stated that Marshall's election was not a victory for the opponents of county local option. He said that Mr. Watson was defeated because he was unpopular with the masses not because he supported county local option. Mr. Nicholson also stated that in some of the democratic strongholds, Sullivan county for example, were dry and the voters favored county local option law. Their representatives, Mr. Nicholson thinks, will vote against the repeal of the law. LECTU.1E SAID TO BE ONE OF GREATEST Cathell Eloquently Portrays Life of Abraham Lincoln. The Rev.
