The Duke Considered to lie a For

Reception of Kathcrinc in Royal
Circles Will Xo Doubt lie Very
Pleasant for Her In View of the
Circumstance.
Rome, Sept. 8. The Milan I'nione,
a clerical paper, published an article
which has been reprinted by the
whole Italian press, to the effect that
the Duke of Abruzzl will probably
soon go to the United States to make
di finite arrangements for his mar
riage with Miss Katherine Elklns,
daughter of United States Senator
Stephen B. Elklns of West Virginia,
and the ceremony will take place in
December, on the duke's birthday.
According to the Unlone, the count
ol Turin, a few days ago, visited
Dowager Queen Margherlta at Gross
ney, where she is spending the sum
mer and attempted to overcome her
opposition to the marriage of his
brother, tho duke of Abruzzl, to Miss
Elklns. It had been the intention of
the duke to have tho mntnage cere
mony take place In December If the
opposition of the royal family could
ho removed, but during tho- recent
celebration of the silver wedding of
the duke nnd duchess of Genoa at
which all the Savoy princes were
present, opposition on the part of the
queen appeared stronger than ever.
She said that her views on the sub
ject hod not changed and she refused
to give her consent to tho marriage.
She objected to such an alliance also
because sho believed many American
thought that tho duke of the Abruzzl
had sought marriage with Miss El
klns when he found the American
girl would como into a large estato.
The count declared that the duke
was ready to marry Miss Elklns even
without the queen's consent and left
for Spezliv to inform his brother of the
failure of his mission.

Vernon Arena, Log Angeles, Calif.,
Sept 7. Stanley Ketchel of Michi
gan, middleweight champion of the
world, was knocked out In the
twelfth round at Jeffries Vernon
arena at 4 o clock this afternoon by
Billy Papke of Illinois, who is now
middleweight champion of the
world.
It was a ease of Illinois thunder
bolt against the Michigan cyclone
and the thunderbolt won. Both men
entered the ring In apparent perfect
condition and neither had ever been
knocked out. Ketchel had a decision
over Papke in a previous, ten round
bout.
Pnpke's From First.
The fight was practically over one
minute and twenty .seconds, after tho
gong sounded. From that time on It
v as merely a question as to how long
Ketchel would last. Papke tore Into
Ketchel with such fury that the un
defeated ring champion was simply
lifted off his feet four times within
the next minute. Papke knocked
Ketchel to the mat for the count and
from the first knock down Ketchel
never really recovered his form. He
was a defeated man, dazed, bleeding,
struggling from 20 blows In the face
and yet he came back and stayed
with a terrible determination. And
for at least three rounds he held his
own with the victorious challenger.
When Ketchel stepped to the cen
ter for the second round It was seen
that his right eye was closed. At the
next Intermission his seconds lanced
the eye socket and sucked the blood
but Ketchel never regained the sight
of his right eye. Before the finish
the other eye was all but closed, and
for the last three rounds he stagger
ed about the ring dizzy" like a drunk
en man practically blind.
In the third Ketchel showed his
best form when he forced Papke
through the ropes, hut when the bell
sounded he stepped with his long fe
line strl-.le eagerly for his corner.
Plays WKh Ketchel.
Through the fourth, fifth nnd sixth
rounds Papke seemed to be babying
his man along, seemingly to give the
crowd a run for its money.
In the seventh Ketchel's mouth
was bleared and sucking air like an
oyster.

came ghastly. The corners of his
mouth which smiled so boyishly when

Bay, Sept. 8. It was learn
ed today that an attempt was made
to assassinate President Roosevelt on
last Saturday while he was out rid
ing on the Cove road near Sagamore.
The assassin fired from the bushes
along the roadside, the bullet whiz
zing over the president, who pulled
his- horse up and "-anted to search
the bushes but a friend dissuaded
him.
This explains the hurried trip of
Chief Wllkle and a corps of secret
service men to Sagamore
Major Wadsworth, who was riding
with President Roosevelt at the tlmei
declared today that he thought the
bullet was fired by hunters engaged
In target practice and not at the
president.
J The" attempt to afsasslnate the
president was made known when a
crank armed with an antiquated bull
dog revolver was caught near the
president's house yesterday by the
secret service guards. The man de
scribed himself as John Coughlln, a
detective and when stopped by the
secret service men. presented a card
upon which was Inscribed his nnme
and the word "officer." He said
that he had come to ask the presi
dent to order out 10,000 troops to
catch yeggmen who had been terror
izing Boston. Coughlln Is supposed
to have reached Oyster Bay on the
12:19 train. He walked three miles
to Sagamore Hill. The road leading
to the president's! house forks at the
tennis court, 200 yards from the
house and forms a loop about the
president's home. The two guards
who are on duty In the day time at
tend at either end of the house and
their view commands both roads. One
of the rules for visitors at Sagamore
Hill is that no one shall come on foot;
so when Secret Service Agent Adams
caught sight of Adams tolling up the
hill road, he guessed that something
was wrong, and motioned for the man
to go back. Coughlin kept right on.
Adams ran down the road to meet
him. Coughlin produced his card
and explained in the most casual way
that he had come to confer with the
president concerning the recent out
rages by yeggmen hi Boston and to
lead back such troops as the presi
dent saw fit to order out.
Attempts to Draw Gun.
The secret service men tried to ex
plain that the president was not see
ing visitors at that moment, hoping
to get him quietly out of the
grounds, coughlin hesitated a mo

Saturday morning and will presuma

Kerr has written Judge IaiwoII of his
coming and ho has asked the assist
arce of local people In the work they
will have to do.
For many months a branch experi
ment station has been desired In this
county for It Is believed that such a
station would be highly beieflclal to
the irrigation section while a dry
farming station would materially help
ir solving the problem of the big
ranches In the country. Seemingly
the county Is now In line for these
things If President Kerr and his party

the back pocket of his trousers. Ad
ams grappled with him without fur
ther parley. Coughlln struggled for
a moment but he is a slight built
man and Adams had no difficulty
in holding him until Agent Sloan
came to his assistance. Sloan search
ed the man and found In his hip
pocket a 32 calibre revolver of the
"bulldog" type. The weapon was
wrapped In a woolen bag and accord
ing to the secret service men, was
not loaded. The slight struggle near
the tennis court had not been ob
served at the house and the secret
sfrrvlcc rnen iwfthout alarming the
president's family, got automobiles
and carried Coughlln to the Oyster
Bay town hall where he was arraign
ed before Justice of the Peace Frank
lin committed Coughlln to the county
Jail at Mineola. Coughlln will be
examined as to his sanity.
Tleen In Asylum.
According to the secret service men
Coughlln told them that he had been
confined for three years In an asy
lum for the Insane. President Roose
velt had returned from a horseback
ride only a short time before Cough
lin appeared at Sagamore Hill. He
did not witness the arrest of the
crank und had not been Informed of
the occurrence this evening.

For the sum of $9000 T. E. Mc
Gintie of Seattle, has purchased the
Hilton telephone line, running from
this place to the south end of the
county, and it Is announced that the
line will be both extended and Im

total of 130 miles of phone line and
there are something over 80 sub
scribers on the line and its branches.
From Pendleton the line runs to
Pilot Rock and thence south to
Uklah, Hidaway Springs and Lehman

subscribers. Since he acquired the
line Mr. Hilton extended it greatly and
Increased the number of patrons.
T. E. McGinltie, the new owner, Is
