Washington Congressman Vic tim of Pneumonia CAREER A FINE EXAMPLE Railroad Section Hand, Logger, Cow boy and School Teacber Before Admitted to Bar Special to The Evening Review. NEW YORK, July 6. Congress man Francis F. Cushman, of Tacoma, Wash., died at Roosevelt Hospital this morning of pneumonia, following an operation for abcess of the neck two weeks ago. Senator Samuel Piles, of Washington, was at the bedside. Francia W. Cushman was bom May 8, 1867, at Brighton, Iowa, and was educated at the local high school and at Pleasant View Academy. In order to aid In paying his tuition there, h eworked during the summer vacation as "water boy" on railroad construction work. On completing bis education at the academy, tbe future congressman worked for some time as section hand on local rail roads, until at the age of 16 he moved to Wyoming. There he remained for five years, being a cowboy on a ranch, a "handy hand" In a lumber camp, and also a school teacher. During this period he took up the study of law, reading by himself, with but it)lttle outside aid. At the close of this time he moved to Nebraska, and was admitted to both the district and supreme bar. He remained there until 1891, when he went West again, settling in Tacoma. which has since been his permanent home. Prior to his election to Con gress he held no offices of any kind, and made his living entirely by his legal practice. Vj"' He was elected representatlve-at- large from the state of Washington to the 56th, 57th. 58th, 69th and 60th Congress; and wsb elected from the second Washington district to the 61st Congress. Though personally in poor health for the greater part of his Congres sional career, Mr. Cushman was ever ready to lend a helping hand to all that appealed to him, and overworked hJraself frequently in the cause of others. He was a stirring orator, hough he spoke but rarely, and was man of direct speech. In his home city he was a leader in public move ments, and was there, as elsewhere, regarded with more than usual re spect by a host of friends and ac quaintances.

M Wednesday, July 7 The Big Store KETCH EL WINNER OF DISAPPOINTING ROUT. Crowd Thinks Papke Had Best of It, Although he Stalled During Concluding RouihIh, SAN FRANCISCO, July G Stanley Ketchel retained his middleweight championship title against Billy Papke at the Mission-street arena this afternoon in their 20-round fight by the merest thread and largely through the courtesy of Referee Billy Roche. It was not a popular deci sion, nor one that was merited, and nine-tenths of the vnst crowd that was on hand received the surprise of its life when Roche raised the hand of Ketchel in the air to signify that he had won on points. To the fact that Papke held on for the last two or three rounds and thatt he was knocked down in the tenth, at whfch stage Ketchel was at his best, can be charged his defeat. Round by round, however, the Illin ois man had a lead over Ketchel, and If there was any shade of a fight that came to be a thorough disappoint ment before R was finished, that shade belonged to Papke. Ketchel claims to have broken his right hand as early as the sixth round and also says that he Injured his left thumb later in the game. To this he ascribes his lnubility to beat Papke, and because of U he says he will be glad to give Papke a return match whenever the opportunity of fers. Ketchel forgets, perhaps, in de claring that his right hand wos broken In the sixth round, that his best work was done from the ninth to the 12th rounds. In the 10th he put Papke down for no count with a right swing, using the very hand that he clarms was disabled. As a fight between two men who had accomplished so much In the ring, whose punching powers had been their strongholds, it wiib an utter disappointment.
