Demetral states he is confident of winning the match and he further states that II Olson starts any dirty work the, spectators will more than get their money's worth. On January 4, Olson is matched to meet Fred Beel, champion light heavyweight of the world, and he wants to 6tep into the ring on that date with the knowledge he is the master of the great Greek wrestler.

Lewis has challenged Demetral to meet him at Gaeco-Ro-man style and the match has been arranged for next week.

QUAKER RUNNERS ,G0 CROSS COUNTRY Two Races Will Be Run This Evening. The greatest event that has been pulled off by Earlham college for several years, will be the cross country run of this evening. Last evening there were about forty thinly clad men out going over the course, testing their wind and making time. Some wore sweaters that bore a resemblance to the prison wearing apparel. There are two courses. One is three miles long, leaving Earlham college, going north on West Fifth street to the road south of the Pennsylvania railroad, west to the Asylum and then back to Earlham on the National road. The other course is only a mile and a half long, which is along the valley of Clear Creek river. PULITZER REPLIES TO THE PRESIDENT , (Continued From Page One.) well's own action which raised the issue in the campaign. "If This be Treason, Etc." It is true also thattwhen Mr. Roosevelt made his attack upon Delevan Smith the "World called attention to certain statements which Mr. Roosevelt must have known to have been false or misleading, and appealed to congress to end all scandal by a full and impartial investigation. If this be treason, let Mr. Roosevelt make the most of it. Mr. Roosevelt's lamentable habit of inaccurate statement makes it impossible to accept either his judgments or his conclusions. In his message he does not state correctly even so sim ple a matter as the pretended causes of his grievance. He says, for example, that the World asserted that there was "corruption by or on behalf of the government of the United States." No such charge was made by this newspaper. He says it was asserted that there were "improper dealings of some kind between agents of the government and outside persons." No such charge was made. Denies Taft Charge. He says that "among those persons who, it was alleged, made 'huge profits were Charles P. Taft, a brother of William II. Taft, then a candidate for the presidency, and Douglas Robinson, my brother-in-law." No such charge was made. The World has never said that Charles P. Taft or Douglas Robinson made any profits whatever. "Not to Be Intimidated." If the World has libeled anybody we hope it will be punished, but we do not Intend to be intimidated by Mr. Roosevelt's threats or by Mr. Roosevelt's denunciation, or by Mr. Roosevelt's power. Mr. Roosevelt's seething indignation about the World's "libel upon the United States government" is an exquisite indictment, indeed, coming as it does from a president who, less than a week ago, officially Insinuated in his message that the congress of the United States was composed of scoundrels who amended an appropriation bill because "Congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men." No living man ever so grossly libeled the United States as does this president who besmirches congress, bulldozes judges, assails the integrity of courts, slanders private citizens and who has shown himself the most reckless, unscrupulous demagogue whom the people ever trusted with great power and authority. So far as the World is concerned, its proprietor may go to jail if Mr. Roosevelt succeeds, as he threatens; but even In jail the World will not sease to be a fearless champion of free speech, a free press and a free people.

HUNTINGTON SAVED FHOMPEiTEHTIRY Refused to Participate in the Contemplated Jail Delivery. GETS LONG JAIL SENTENCE HE WITH MURRAY ARE FINED. GIVEN SIXTY DAYS IN JAIL AND DISFRANCHISED FOR PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. When Earl Huntington, one of the city's most notorious characters, refused to join in the compact and attempt a delivery of the prisoners at the coun- ! ty jail, he took the step that kept him 1 from a sentence to the penitentiary, j Huntington refused to join in the plans ! of Sherman Keller. Sherman Wilson and William Woods, and advised them against an attempt to break Jail. For this act in support of the law. the prosecuting attorney this morning moved in the Wayne circuit court to strike out of the affidavit charging Huntington with petit larceny, the second count which set forth a previous conviction. Unless this step had been taken by the prosecutor Huntington would be under sentence to the penitentiary. Instead he wa3 given a fine of $5, disfranchised for one year and sentenced to sixty days in jail. He was accused of the theft of a can of paint belonging to Frank Wilson. Frank (Snooks) Murray, colored, an accomplice of Huntington, plead not guilty o the same charge. Later he changed his plea and was given the same sentence as Huntington. Murray says he had nothing to do with stealing the paint. In affixing the punishment of Huntington, the court told him his previous record was against him. Judge Fox told the defendant he had done many i evil things, but for the one commendable thing he would receive consideration. The. court declared that if the prosecutor tad not acted as he did in the matter, nothing could have kept the accused out of prison.

Washington, Dir. 1G. Members of congress, intrusted with the task of preparing a rebuke of tlie president, are treading softly and moving very slowly. The special committee of the house, appointed to prepare a resolution respecting the president's reflections upon congress in his discussion ef the secret service, so as to protect the dignity of the house Is doing but little and that with much trepidation. The senate has virtually abandoned all Idea of original action and will wait to see what the house does be KERN RECEIVED FIM Returned to City and Arrest On Old Charge Brought Conviction.

Bradway said he "kidded" Kern about a woman he had seen him with on the street the previous day. He said Kern got sore and when 'Bradway went to the grocery to get onions Kern followed him. The witness testified that just as he was about to enter the saloon Kern struck him in the head, knocking him unconscious. WOMAN INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.

Ball and Peltz are the local agents of the company. Speed of Flight cf Pigeons. Of our game birds the most gregarious and most beautiful passenger pigeon, now unhappily practically extinct is or was doubtless the most rapid of continuous filers, yet to a total length of about sixteen and onefourth inches its wing's length is about seven and eight-tenths Inches, a proportion less favorable for speed than with certain other less rapid species of Its family. Their sustained speed certainly exceeded a mile a minute, and some authorities have estimated it as high as 120 miles per hour. The fact often quoted that the wild rice of the Carollnas was sometimes found in the stomachs of birds shot In Canada shows both marvelous speed and endurance. Outing.

fore taking the matter up. The senate leaders are perfectly willing to let the matter drop, not because they resent any less than the house the president's language, but because they realize that discussion in congress, especially if a defense of the president developed, would but make the situation worse. In both bodies it has been agreed that there should be no action that is likely to provoke a reply from the president. There is a possibility that it may be allowed to drop entirely. MINSTREL TROUPE DISBANDS HERE All Atjoin' Out and Nothin' Comin' In."

He had been in jail for about a month awaiting trial on the charge 'of petit larceny.
