BATTLING NELSON LOSES TO WOLGAST Referee Gives Decision to Milwaukee Boy in the Fortieth Round. FIGHT A DESPERATE ONE

PLUCKY DANE REFUSED TO GIVE UP TO THE GERMAN ALTHOUGH HE WAS BATTERED ALMOST TO A WRECKAGE. FIGHT FACTS. Winner Atl Wolgast, of Milwaukee. Loser Hattling Nelson, of Hagewisch, Illinois. Title a l Stake Light-weight championship. How Won Stopped by referee in fortieth round. How I!ets Go As a knockout. Referee Ed Smith, of Oakland. 1 Setting Nelson was favorite, with 2 to 1 against Wolgast. (By W. W. Naughton. San Francisco. Feb. 23. Hattling Nelson is no longer champion, but the extent of Ms powers of endurance is still a thins to ho guessed at. His light with Ad Wolgast at Richmond yesterday was stopped by Eddie Smith in the fortieth round at a time when Nelson stood up upright on his feet. Hut the referee acted wisely, for in one or two of the rounds before the last Nelson leaned across the ropes in a manner that suggested impending collapse. Weighed 133 Pounds. The weight wus VIZ pounds at ringside. Moth boys were under that figure. The betting was 2 to 1, with Nelson the favorite, and even money that Wolgast would stay 25 rounds. Nelson was seconded by Jack Robinson, his manager; Addul the Turk, Joe Myers, Dick Wheeler, Morris Rauch and Arthur Nelson, his brother. Wolgast was looked after by Manager Tom Jonos, Charley Anslinger, Jeff Perry, Hobo Dougherty, Tommy Deaki n and Jockey Marpole. The arena seats 20,000. It was about half filled. The receipts, are said to be about $35,000. . His face was punched out of all semblance to a human countenance and great strawberry blotches around his stomach and hips bore testimony to the merciless battering of Wolgast's fists. Nelson was too feeble to fight on with any hope of success. Wolgast's eyes were snappy, white Nelson's were 1 lusterless. The Dane had lost all sense of distance and direction and could only fling out his arms in a feeble way. . lie "telegraphed"' his blows, as the rail birds of the prize ring say, so that even if he had retained the power to hurt, his intentions were so palpable that his opponent had ample time in which to escape. Only a Punching Bag. The champion was a mere punching bag for Ad, and to have allowed the thing to continue would have been to incur risk of a fatality. It could be seen in several of the rounds before the finish that the referee was on Uneasy street. He eyed Nelson closely especially whenever the man from Hegeswisch arose from one of his leaning positions across the ropes. At the end of the thirty-ninth which was a particularly severe one for Nelson, Smith took the champion by the elbow and led hlui to his corner. There he told Nelson and those who were handling him that it looked as though all hope was lost and that the champion had better give up. Nelson shook his head in a weary, yet determined way. and said: "Never, never, never." "111 give you one more chance. Bat, and you must show me something in this coming round," said Smith, decisively shaking his forefinger at the badly bruised ringman huddled in his corner. "If you don't do any better I'll stop the fight." When the gong signaled the start of the fortieth round. Nelson stalked in a heavy-footed way toward Wolgast and began hooking and swinging aimlessly. He was so weak that he disturbed his own balance whenever he lashed out, and Wolgast chuckled as he noted how easy it was to avoid the fast fading world beater. When Wolgast stepped in briskly and began to batter his feeble opponent on the face as straight as files on parade, even although scarcely able to raise an arm the durable Dane stood as straight as files on parade, even while Wolgast smashed him full on the sore face, j Referee Stopped Bout. After Wolgast has driven two extra heavy right handers against Nelson's badly puffed lips Smith jumped quickly between the men and brought it to an end right then and there. He grasped Wolgast's blood soaked glove and raised it aloft, the orthodox pugilistic way of declaring a winner. Nelson was loath to quit. He laid his hands on Wolgast's shoulder to attract Ad's attention, and then raised his hands feebly to the fighting position. It was an invitation to continue, and the terribly battered light weight meant it. Wolgast only grinned and drew away from the man he had fairly beaten, and then Nelson's seconds interfered and coaxed the Dane to his corner. MOTHER LEFT THEM J Dow and George Ashcraft, two youths of Cambridge City, who have been deserted by their mother, will probably be sent to some orphanage asylum in the state. Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation, officer, went -to Cambridge City this afternoon to inrestigate the cases.

PROOF IS DESIRED That Peary Discovered the North Pole Before He Is Honored. HOUSE COMMITTEE ACTS (American News Service Washington, Feb. 23. The sub-committee of the house naval committee today after considering several bills to reward Commander Peary as the discoverer of the North Pole, adopted a resolution calling on the secretary of commerce and labor to furnish the subcommittee with any data that Peary may have sent to the secretary to show that he had discovered the Pole. Members of the committee say they don't want to be skeptical, but they believe they ought to have some data on which to base the reward to Peary. TILLMAN IS BETTER ( American News Service) Washington, Feb. 2?,. Senator Tillman continues to improve. He has recovered the use of his limbs and can speak with comparative ease. According to Dr. E.

POHTERHOUSE

STEAKS III BEEF And Sometimes More, But the Butchers Stretch Out Extra Ones. CHEAP CUTS REALLY BC3f A 1,500 POUND, CORN-FED BUL LOCK CUT UP FOR CHICAGO STEWARDS TO DEMONSTRATE THE POINT MADE. Chicago. Feb. 23. How many por-j pound bullock? Four. How many torterhouse steaks will the average retail butcher sell his customer out of that bullock? Over twenty. Is a club steak "any steak without a bone in it"? It depends on what restaurant or club you dine at. These were some of the things an innocent bystander learned at the meeting of the Chicago Stewards" Club at the Transit House, at the Union stockyards, at which a 1,300pound corn-fed bullock was cut up to demonstrate how the cost of living may be cut down by proper market ing and carving. About forty stewards from the lead ing clubs and restaurants of the city. with their wives and chefs, were pres ent, and argued violently over each point brought up. The lecture was by H. Hart. who. it was whispered, draws a fabulous salary from one of the big packing companies for his exlert knowledge of what's what in beef. The manual labor was done at first by a white-coated and white-capped man named Mike, armed with a hook, a knife and a saw, but as the spectators got more interested and disputatious they crowded around the tables and deftly twirled the big chunks of meat around, illustrating their points. Where The Waste is. Mr. Hart explained that, because of American custom, which leads people to demand only certain choice cuts of beef, the average hotel or restaurant can use only 18 percent of a steer, leaving the remaining 82 percent a drug on the market. He illustrated by having Mike draw a square on the side of the beef. "The meat within this square sells for 16 cents wholesale," he said. "The meat below it, known as the plate, for 6?i cents, and the meat forward from it for 7 cents. This latter, the chuck is known as a rough cut, but it is eoual in flavor and superior in protein, and therefore in food value, to the rib or loin. But the average American housewife doesn't know how to cook it, or won't take the trouble, or is ashamed to eat anything but porterhouse." Taking up another cut of meat, he said: "There is a fortune waiting for any fcteward who will make a specialty of preparing this meat. It is worth only 7 cents a pound, but in quality it is as good as any part of the animal. It is known as the short ribs. There is no better dish than short ribs and brown potatoes." Wide Variance in Prices. After a warm argument on how to prepare short ribs for cooking, the waste in bone, etc.. Mr. Hart had Mike stick his knife in various parts of the carcass, remarking: "This side of the knife is worth 22 cents, that side 8 cents," or "This side is no better than that, but it costs D2 cents to the other's 12." "How about the bone?" asked some one. "Well." said the instructor, "the average butcher won't bone anything that he can sell with the bone in." And the women present for the first time took an active interest and applauded vigorously. "I will now show you something," said Mr. Hart. "I have here ribs from a cow and from a steer. If any of you are suspicious that your butcher is palming off cow on you when you are paying for steer, step forward." It was the hit of the evening. The audience rose as one man and surged toward the table to learn that the bones of a cow are white and bloodless compared with those of a steer. Pin Bone Argument Heated. Some declarations of E. G. Witteberg, of the North American restaurant, on the subject of how to get the most out of a pin bone short loin practically broke up the formal lecture, so many were the theories with pugnacious supporters. It was in the course of the melee that followed that many professional secrets came out, such as that the butchers keep on selling porterhouse long after the four real porterhouses in the animal are exhausted. It was said that was possible only where the sirloin and the tenderloin overlap, one on each side of the rib bone. "I can make 87 out of that piece of meat," said one steward, pointing to a chunk that one of his companions had scorned. And then he had to tell how amid a storm of objections. The moral is: "Even stewards disagree." A MEAT TRUST SLAP (American News Service) Findlay, O., Feb. 23. The Mt. Cory farmers' institute adopted this resolution: "Owing to the high price of meat3 and the increase of sheep claims we recommend that one half of the dogs of Ohio be made into bologna and the tax on the other half be increased from $1 to f2, and the tax on the dogs sisters be raised from $2 to V

PLANS TO CONSERVE COAL AND OTHER BILL REQUIRES GOVERNMENT SANCTION TO WITHDRAW ANY COAL LANDS IN THE TERRITORY. (American News Service) Washington, Feb. 23. As a result of the recent statements made by representatives of the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate concerning its interests in Alaska, before the senate committee on territories, Senator Beveridge of Indiana today introduced two bills. One provides for the conservation of all coal deposits in Alaska, and the other stipulates that no coal lands shall be withdrawn in Alaska except by the act of congress. Heretofore the withdrawal power rested with the president. Commenting on these measures Senator Beveridge said there would be no local government legislation for Alaska at this session of congress and he therefore wanted the committee of territories to have complete jurisdiction. A Conclusion Drawn. This is taken to mean that the present Alaska government legislation will fail of passage at this session. Speaking of what he called the startling testimony of the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate, Senator Beveridge said the value of coal deposits in the Bearing river fields was $900,000,000. It would cost $700,000,000 to develop the fields, leaving a ret profit of $200,000,000. In the Cooks Inlet region there were deposits worth a billion. A geographical survey showed in addition to this that in the Yukon section and in North Alaska, more than 15,000,000,000 tons were deposited in an area of about 1,200 square miles, the value of which could not be estimated. All of this coal, he said, should be reserved for the I'nited States. It was now needed for the Pacific coast and in the near future would be needed as a coal supply for the whole United States.

Lowe versus lemas t'w county auditor, on writ of mandamus proceedings, arrived in this city this morning to proceed with the trial of the case, issues having been made up previously. In December, Mr. Lowe, who holds a contract with the county commissioners to obtain all taxes on sequestered property of which he has knowledge, presented a bill to the county commissioners for approximately .'.7."i, as his commission on sequestered taxes, paid in the month previous. The city of Richmond and the incorporated towns of Centerville and Cambridge City. notified the county auditor not to is sue warrants of commission to Mr. Lowe on their share of the sequestered taxes which he caustd to be paid. The total amount so held up was about $245. Mr. Lowe brought mandamus proceedings against the county official to obtain this commission. The case is to test the power of corporations. Mr. I.owe is represented by Attorney W. II. Kelley. while attorney John F. Bobbins represents the county: Wilfred Jessun, the Centerville corporation and A. It. Feemster. Cambridge City.
