RESTS WITH ROLLER He Is Only American Who Has A Chance to Defeat Champion Gotch. BIG BILL HERE TONIGHT "I'm not certain that Roller will b3 able to beat Gotch for the championship," said Charles Olson, relative to the announcement that the doctor in tends challenging Gotch for tho world's championship," but if there Is any one In America who has the chance to beat the big Iowan, it is the man from Seattle. "I have wrestled both men and to me Roller was the harder. He is much stronger than Gotch, though perhaps a bit slower and less clever. I'm not willing to say that Roller will beat Gotch, even if he does improve as much as he hopes to. for Gotch always seems to beat his men. Sometimes I think Gotch has never really shown all his wrestling strength." These wo wrestling stars, Olson and Roller wrestle at the coliseum tonight in the big double-bill. Roller will meet Tom Medino, the Illinois heavyweight and Olson, Tom Coburn, of Kansas City.

VOTES FOR WOMEN URGED BY LIPTON

He Also States the Price Tea Has Kept Him a Bachelor. of SUPPORTS SUFFRAGETTES FAMOUS YACHTSMAN SAYS THAT IF HE WAS PRIME MINISTER HE WOULD DO AS THE FAIR 0NE3 NOW DEMAND. . New York. Oct. 27. "If I were prime minister of England the women would have the vote tomorrow morning." So much for Sir Thomas Lipton and suffrage. "If only the price of tea would go up I could afford to get married." So much and a great deal more for Sir Thomas Upton and marriage. "If they'll give me half a chance to win I'll race a Shamrock IV. in 1911 and prove the luck there is in a four1 leaf clover." So much for Sir Thomas Linton and the American's cup. And that's all about cup racing, for the newspaper men have gone into that subject very thoroughly already and Sir Thomas as an advocate of "votes for women" is more of a novelty. It was the same Sir Thomas. Ion?, lean, grizzled, with a twinkling blue eye and an agile grace of manner and movement, that I had seen three years ago at the Waldorf. It was the same suite to which I was ushered by the same silent secretary, Mr. Westwood. "You haven't got married wnv haven't you?" accused Sir Thomas. "Why haven't you?" I retorted. "It's the price of tea: notliine else. I assure you," Sir Thomas answered. "Why, there's no profit on it. I can't afford to marry. But, seriously," he added, "a woman should always get married. A man can travel around and do as he likes and there's no com ment With a woman 'tis different." Sir Thomas also gave some inter esting views on the subject of votes for women. "I speak as the man in the street. mind, and not as a politician, for I'm nothing of the sort," he said. "But if I were Prime Minister of England the women would get the vote tomorrow morning. Why shouldn't they have it? They pay taxes. They're certainly as fit to vote now as nine4enths of the voters. "They're as intelligent as men. Some of the most beautiful things in the world have been written by women. I can't understand this idea that women cant take part in the government, as every hoodlum In the street is permitted to do. "I'm not indorsing all their methods, mind you. Fighting the police is all right" there spoke ould Ireland "but this throwing of stones through windows and into automobiles is dangerous. A woman can get anything from a man she wants, but not with a stone in her fist "The influence of women is always for good. You're better than we are. We ought to look up to you, and we do. Why, compared to you we're a lot of villains." JOHIISOIIJS READY Wires Jeffries He Is Ready to Meet Him at Any Place Named. GOES TO NEW YORK TODAY (American News Service) Chicago, Oct. 27. Jack Johnson and his manager. George Little, left this afternoon for New York. He has wired Jeffries that he will be willine to meet him any place Jeffries names and close up the match at once. "The people do not need to worrv about Jeffries and me fighting when we meet to talk the things over, be cause It would be exceedingly foolish for us to fight for the fun of the thin? when we can get $50,000 and the fun as well as for the same thing." said John son. "I hope that I won't have an7 trouble closing the match in New York, for I want to start back to Chicago Saturday or Sunday." Johnson has been made defendant in a suit for $2,000, filed by Yank Kenny, a former sparring partner. Th Lone Star Emblem. "The Lone Star emblem." said Guy M. Bryan in telling the story of the Texas flag to the Texas Veterans association in 1873. "was a fortunate accident, in the old days overcoats were ornamented with large brass buttons. It happened that the buttons on the overcoat of Governor Smith bad the Impress of a five pointed star. For want of a seal one of these buttons was cot off and used." The owner of this overcoat and of the button. Henry Smith, was chief executive of the provisional government of Texas, which In 1S35 preceded the declaration of Independence by Texas against Mexico and the winning of that Independence in the battle of San Jacinto on April 2L 1S3G.

That inquiry tuioiijili stale i;i:u lii!iery is the remedy for strikes and lookouts in the United States is I he opinion or uoiouel 11. eiiisiut K or nui V ran-. Cisco, who recently returned from an i eighteen months' study of labor conai-, tious iu Europe. Australasia and the orient. Colonel Weiustock was specially commissioned by Governor Gillett of California to investigate labor laws iu the different industrial countries. "There are three met hods which may be used iu the solution Mu-se problems," said Colonel We. U. "The first is voluntary arbitration, which has practically failed t he world over; the second compulsory arbitration, which has succeeded in Australasia, but would not tit into our conditions; the third public inquiry through state machinery. The latter is the nearest to state Intervention that our laws will permit and to me is the solution of our troubles and disputes. "In my investigations I have found that the European industrial countries are Very much in the condition we are in. They are out with searchlights trying to find n remedy for the increasing strikes and lockouts. "Australia and New Zealand more nearly than any other country that I visited have solved the problem. They have solved it there by compulsory arbitration, and during the last flf teen years, the time in which their laws have beeu in operation, while tbey have not enjoyed the degree of industrial peace that the early promoters of the law had hoped for, owing to improper administration, they have nevertheless enjoyed industrial peace more than any other industrial country In the world. "But I have reached the conclusion that compulsory arbitration as it Is carried out in Australasia would not fit into our conditions, for the reason that it is not constitutional in the United States for a state to fix a wage In private undertakings, whereas in Australia that can be and is done the state fixes a minimum wage for every industry that comes in under the law. "I have reached the conclusion as the result of my Investigations that the time is imperative for state intervention, more especially in connection with labor troubles relating to public utilities, in which the public has far more at stake than either the employers or wage earners. "Therefore in the interest of the public the state ought to take a hand in the adjustment of such labor disputes by a system of public inquiry' which would have in mind the bringing together of both parties before a strike or lockout Is declared in the hope of an agreement being reached. This thing has been aimed at by many states and many European industrial countries, but has failed, because the coming together for conciliation has been made under the law voluntary. The remedy lies in making the getting to getber compulsory." HAMILTON TO LEAVE Eddie Hamilton, a well known local young man. will leave soon for Chicago, where he will take a position with a wholesale coffee house. The state of Ohio will probably be his territory. CAMPBELL IN CITY. Rev. J. O.
