MICE 15.. LAME SIZE SOi.
IN ION OF FARMERS.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Sept. 7.
Here in Texaa, the birthplace of the
Farmers' union, representatives of
its more than a million members met
In annual convention to plant what
promisee to be the greateat organized
campaign In the history of American
Industry.
The man from Florida rubs
shoulders and fraternlzea with the
man from Washington on the Pa
cific alone.
Rut beneath It all there ia the
Duroose of the producers of the
wealth of the soil to perfect such or-news that waa received by the fam-
gaulzation aa will bring him an equi
table profit for hla labor and place
his business upon the practical plane
characterizing every other American
fighting In the firat round. From
that time it waa merely a question of
how long Ketchell would last. Tapke
tore into Ketchell with such fm-y
the undefeated champion was simply
lifted off his feet four times In the
first round.
After the first knockdown Ketcn-
ell never really recovered himself.
He bled from the rain of terrible
blown on hla face, but for three
rounda he managed to hold his ow.t.
His right eye waa useless to him
ter the first round and before the
finish hla left eye waa all but closed.
The last three rounds he staggered
around, dizzy and practically blind.
All through the fight Ketchell
bled eo that the blood literally
dripped from his open wounds onto
Papke'a clean body and to the floir
of the ring, and the defeated man
presented a horrible sight.
Papke finished almost aa strong a
when he entered the ring, with
hardly a mark on him.
Attell and Moran.
COI.MA ARENA, San Francisco,
Cal., Sept. 7. Abe Attell, champion
feather-weight of America, and Ow
en Moran, England's premier boxer
In that division, fought a drawn
battle In the Colma open-air arena
this afternoon in the presence of
6000 spectators.
The battle lasted 23 rounda and
at the concluaion Referee Jack un
hesitatingly grasped both lada by the
hand, signifying a draw. The de
cision pleased the crowd. There was
great cheering for both fighters as
they left the ring.
The fight, on the whole, was
rather lame, but this was offset by
the cleverness exhibited by both
fighters. The fight was very even,
characterized by Attell's cleverness
In blocking and general defense and
Moran 'a aggressiveness.
The consensus of opinion was that
Attell had gone back considerably.
He lacks the speed which governed
his previous battles. After the
fight Moran told the newspaper men
that he broke his right hand in the
second round, hut he thought he won
'by a mile."
The Associated Press representa
tive examined the alleged broken
hand in Moran'a dressing-room, but
beyond the fact that his arm was
badly swollen around the thumb It
was Impossible to verify the claim of
broken arm. Attell also clatmel
he should have had the decision and
was willing to fight again any dis
tance inside of 25 rounds. Attell'
middle finger of hts right hand was
dislocated during the fight.
Interest centers on steps to be
taken to market the south's forth
coming crop of cotton. Regarding
the aize of the yield, there ia some
difference of opinion among the del-
"Kates. Whatever the ultimate size
of the crop, present prospects are
that the convention will determine
on a radical Innovation in ita mar
keting so as to Insure uniform
prices for the entire selling season.
President D. J. Nelll, of the Texas
Farmers' union, made a statement
that the Texas union would make an
effort to set and control the price of
cotton this fall, and asked the na
tional union to unite in an effort
to force the price upVard. He aai-1
he would start a movement to sun
press the quoting of prices from
New York and other placea over the
wlrea.
The feature of the opening exer-
ciae waa the address of Samnel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
He brought to tbe organized farm-
era of America a message of f$o-id
will and fraternity from the org' li
lted labor of America. An enthusi
astic demonstration enaued when
Mr. Gompers, speaking of mutual
Interest of the two bodies, declared
significantly: "Whither thou goest,
we will go."
Mr. Gompers expressed the belUif
that the Farmers' union might an
logic1. y be put upon Its defense .y
adverse court decision aa have labor
unions and that each must be pre
pared to protect ita rigbta.
The convention adopted a resolu
tion pledging Mr. Gompers its sup
port. The presence of Mr. Gompers has
lent color to a rumor that an effort
will be made to affiliate the Farm
ers' union with the federation, of
which he la the head. Mr. Gompers
refused to talk on the subject.

MAHIUAUK OF MRS. FIELDS, JR.
CHICAGO Sept. 4. General sur
prise waa occaaloaed in Chicago by
tbe newa of the wedding of Mrs.
Marshall Field, Jr., to Mr. Drum
mood. In fact, some of her relatives
and close friends, Including Stanley
Field, at flrat refused to believe the
report. Mrs. Louis C. Huck, step
mother of the bride, aet all doubts
at reat about noon, however, by an
nouncing that ahe had received a ca
ble measage from her daughter con-1 Jjjl

ternoon at his office In tbe wholesale
building of Marshall Field Co.
"We have Juat returned from Eu
rope, but beard nothing of the ap
proaching wedding there. I did not
see Mra. Field, however, during my
visit abroad."
Mra. Marshall Field, Jr., was chief
ly known aa tbe mother and guardian
of the Field grandchildren pros
pectively among the rlcheat children
In the world who are one day to
receive a fortune estimated even now
high aa S150.000.000. After the
deduction of something like 125,-
000,000 in other bequests from the
property left by the elder Field,
three-fifths of the estate la held In
truat for Marshall Field III, now 14
years of age, and two-fifths la held
In trust for hla brother, Henry, 11
years old.
At the time of Marshall Field,
Sr. 'a, death It was estimated that
Marshall Field III waa worth S50.
000,000, and the little Henry Field
waa worth 135,000.000. When
Marshall Field III reachea the age of
50 and cornea into full control of his
fortune It la estimated that It will
be wo:tn 200,000000 and that bis
brother Henry's share will approxi
mate 1 50,000.000. Not until the
grandsons are 45 yeara of age will

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Until
the last year It haa never been pos
sible to ascertain the net addition to
the population by Immigration, and
the result is surprising to the depart
ment of commerce and labor. During
the fiscal year the total immigration
waa 924,000, while the outward
movement, the alien emigration, was
715,000. The latter figure ia based
on the assumption that the emigra
tion for June, figurea for which are
not entirely at hand, waa about equal
to the previous month. Deducting
the alien emigration from the alien
immigration for the year leaves a
net increase of 200,000. Secretary
Straus aays that all official figures
of the department of the previoua
yeara. when considered In respect to
the addition to the population by Im
migration muat be reduced from SO
to 75 per cent.
ONLY 1,800,000.

tates In Russia, the property of
certain German soldier of fortune
named Scmlt. The latter was In the
Russian service during the Crimean
war and was promoted to be a gen
eral. He was married to a rich
countess. His heir won an Iron cross
In the Franco-Prussian war.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 7. In an opin
ion handed down Saturday Attorney-
General A. M. Crawford holda that
the atate board has no authority un
der the law to issue free passes to
the state fair.
Attorney McMahon states that it
was not his intention to cut off bona
fide newspaper men from the privi
lege of the fair, as the newspapers
pay more In advertising that tbe
value of the tlcketa amount to.
The attorney-general states that
the ruling will not ahnt out news
paper men where tlcketa are given In
exchange for advertising, but that
the board has no authority to give
tlcketa to the press without compensation.
