MARSH RXOWX IX SEATTLE
bald to Have Flowed Puget Sound
Sports Out of Big Fortune.
SEATTLE. March 1 4. (Special.)
Seattle Kports who have gone up
against the wrestling game are not
surprised at the statements carried in
the Associated Press dispatches to
night concerning the manipulations of
Marsh, the. Seattle wrestler, who has
been uccused of being a party to fleec
ing a Southern man of 9.17,500. Marsh
Is recognized here as Joe Carroll
Marsh, alias OIc Marsh, well known
in the Klondike and later in this city.
Carroll pulled off several stunts in
this city a few vears ago. and is al
leged to have cleaned up some Rell
inglmm capitalists by fake matches
lield on houseboats on lake Washing
ton. L( Stenger, of Relltngham.
well known, fell for a big bunch of
money, estimated by himself to be
about $10,000.
Marsh was for a long time a baekej
and trainer of Frank "iotcii. and after
leaving Ootch he tied his fortunes-with
Hoe Roller, of this city, who he
brought out as a coining champion.
Immediately after the Burns-Roller
match a short time ago, Carroll, or
Marsh, left here and is believed by
local followers of the game to have
been instrumental in the matching of
3toller and Westergard here tomorrow
night. Carroll vouches for the prowess
of Westcruard.
Carroll is reputed to be worth a for
tune. Ills first appearance was made
on Puget Sound, when John Berg
Started the game In Bellinffliam, and
was hailed as tho coming man on the
mat. Carroll was accused of being
the, chief figure In what was known
as the "wrestlers' trust." headed also
by Duncan McMillln and other of'-the
big chlefo In the profession.
Belllngham was made an easy victim
to the trust, and every wrestler In the
United States of any repute paid the
city a visit. -The loggers and lumber
men paid tribute, and when the game
wu exposed there was no room left to
wrestlers.
As In the New Orleans game, the
victims were advised to leave town,
and many of them did ao.

WASHINGTON. March II. (Special. )
Accortilns to a report today. the enfmies

of the "poison syuad and the persistent

have foivcd hfm into an intolerable posi

that tl:e law was being administered in a
haul-.ind-fast way. with consideration for
chemit al analysis alone, and no .consid

According to his supporters. Dr. Wiley

they at last have the doctor suppressed

from which it will take him a long time
to free himself.
FAIR HAND SEEKS WATCH
Cenfralia Marshal Picked as Victim
of "Fainting Bertha."
CENTRALIA. Wush.. March 14. (Spe
cial.) That a "Kainting Bertha" is oper
ating in tVntralia is t!u opinion of the
Centralia night Marshal. Arthur Thomp
son. Thompson is a young man whose
appearance would indicate that he would
respond to an appeal to his gallantry.
The appeal came last night when he en
countered on the street an old woman
and her pretty daughter, both strangers
in the city.
The young wotni saw him and fainted
fainted in convenience to the young
man's arm. His arm automatiealy en
twined her for suiport. Her head fell
on his shoulder.
"I am all righ't now. mother." the young
Wiiman gasped. The three started for a
room, that the young woman might re
cover. While learning the new lockstep,
Thompson did not forget himself. With
one hand he quietly felt for his watch.
It met another, a tender.- soft hand that
startled for an instant and slunk away.
But she was a wily young woman. The
hand returned and sought his. Then it
was that Thompson joined the hand
holders' union, because it was not safe
to hold back. He gave the little hand a
gentle squeeze and held it that he might
not lose it. and said, "1 am all right
now, 'mother. "
PASSION WILL SOON PASS
Woodrow Wilson Says Regulative
Lcgis-hitiou Is Spasm. -
CHICAGO. March 14. Woodrow Wil
son, president of Princeton University,
Was the principal speaker at the banquet
given by the Commercial Club of Chi
cago at the Congress Hotel tonight. Mr.
Wilson said in part:
A passion for regulative legislation
seems to have taken possession of the
country of late, but it carne upon it so
suddenly, so much more like an impulse
of impatience than like a deliberate pur
pose, that there is every indication that
the careful thinking upon which it should
have been founded will succeed it after
it has spent its force rather than accom
pany and give direction to it.
"The acts of corporations themselves
must be checked not by futile and
blundering attempts to indicate to each
corporation how its business shall be
conducted, but by bringing; its officials
directly to book.

Secretary Tells Austrian Correspon

-NEW YORK, March 14. (Special.)
Die Zeit, a daily newspaper of Vienna,
contains in Its number of March 1, re
ceived in New York today, a remark
able interview by Its Washington cor
respondent with Secretary Root, who
says in part:
"With regard to the Immigration
problem, the United States is now in
the position of the Roman Empire, in
vaded by the barbarians, who overran
it .In search of riches. The barbarians
Sai mates. Dacians. Avarlans. etc. were
miserably poor and the rich countries
of the Roman Empire, with their high
culture, irresistibly attracted them.
"The same people I mean from the
"same countries that sent barbarians

Slovaos. Roumanians, Poles, Rutiienians,
Jews and uncultured South Italians
are overrunning the United States.
And, as in olden days, they bring their
wives and children, settle down in our
miust. pushing and crowding us, and
begin life anew, as if they were in a
conquered country."
. "But the United States couldn't exist
without ipimlgration," was suggested.
"Agreed." said Mr. Root, "but circum
stances absolutely require that immi

needed assimilation was quick and easy

education was equal to our own that is.

500.000 are Kast Europeans, people whom
Kurope itself regards as only half civil

"Americans did not object when those
East Europeans came in small bunches.
While few in number, they were obliged
to educate themselves up to the coun
try's average state of civilization. They
assimilated because they were constantly
dealing with Americans, having no coun
trymen of their own to fall back on. But
nowadays they come in regiments and
army corps. . and follow each other so
closely that their assimilation becomes

BRANCH OF NEVADA ROAD
Plan to Build Line to Wonder, Fair

RENO. New. March 14. It is announced
at the division-headquarters of the South
ern Pacific at Sparks that the Nevada
Central Railroad from Battle Mountain
to Austin, which line Is under option to
the Western Pacific Railroad, has under
consideration the construction of a
branch line to Wonder, Fairview and
Rawhide.
It is believed that this will result in
the abandonment of the projected line to
Fairview and Fallon by the Nevada Hills
Mining Company, as well as the proposed
line from Schurz to Rawhide, the outlet
via Nevada Central being much shorter
to Utah smelters and eastern points, in
suring lower rates, both freight and passenger.
