. ,, . V THE ROCK ISl.AXD ARGUS. THURSDAY. JULY 24, 1913. t i 0 i SPEEOY BOATS AT KEOKUK REGATTA New Records Expected at Pow er Boat Association Meet August 26, 27, 28. CHAPPELLE GETS EYES OF THE FANS f" Commodore J. Stuart Blackton of the Motor Boat Club of America, whose Baby Reliance III broke all ex isting world's records at the annual regatta of the Mississippi Valley Pow er Board association at Davenport, last summer, has notified Chairman Charles P. Hanley of the racing com mittee that he will send two new Reliances to the association's races which will be held this year at Keo kuk. Iowa, August 26, 27 and 28. The motorboat men of Rock Island declare this means that the Missis sippi Valley will again set up a world record for high Fpeed power boats, for Commodore Blackton has had ex perts working ever since last year on a boat that would pass the 60-mile-an-hour mark. Whether this will be ac complished, remains to be proven, but It seems certain that it will, for' last year's Eaby Reliance slid over the dew at B3.9 miles, nearly 10 miles faster than any previous record. There is prospect of the keenest rivalry for the championship honors at Keokuk next month. Commodore James A. Pugh of Chicago has wired the committee that he will be at the starting lino with Disturber III, the big 40-foot hydroplane which has TOO horse power stored In 2 cylinders. This is the largest power plant ever packed into an American racing hull. Last season Disturber was too power- ful for her fittings; something was tonFtantly wrong. Commodore Pugh has had two experts at work on her Mnce last fall. In trials in Chicago harbor a few days ago she is said to have made better than 55 miles an hour. This would seem to Insure an epoch making race at Keokuk, where the new 30-mlle lake, created by the 127,000,000 power dam, is said to form the finest race course in America.

The sporting department of the Courier has received a communica tion asking how many years John I Sullivan held the world's champion ship, and requesting the answer to be published on the sporting page of the Courier. It will surprise a great many people to learn that John L. Sullivan never at any time in his career held' the world's championship. Sullivan wae champion of America, but never was champion of any other country than America. During Sullivan's time, or a great part of it, Peter Jackson, a col ored man, was champion of Australia. As Sullivan drew the color line, he never had a match with Jackson. There was a dispute between Charlie Mitchell and Jem Smith as to which was the champion of England. They never fought It out. Richard K. Fcx, publisher of the New York Police Gazett, brought out Jake Kilrain (whose rsht name is J. J. Killion), who challenged. Sullivan. Sullivan didn't c hoose to fight Just when Fox wanted him to, so Fox advertised that he had given the American chainpion-t-hip to Kilrain. However, as Fox didn't own the championship, the American public paid very little atten tion to Kilrain's claim on it. The peo ple couldn't understand how Fox could give away something he didn't own. He did, however, send Kilrain over to Kngland to fight Jem Smith. They fought cbout 100 rounds to a draw (prize ring rules). It was a very loer fight. About that same time Char'le Mitc'if-11 challenged Sullivan to fight. and they had a 36-round draw in France. It was held under prU? rin? lulrs and was a'poor scrap. Neither of these two fights settled any cham pionship aspirations. Kilrain and Sul livan brth came back to the United States, and in September, 1S92, fought a 73-round battle in which Sullivan thoroughly whipped Kiain. This was the last prize fight of any note held in this country under Loudon prize ring rules. All congests since that timo have been contested under Queens bury rules. Sullivan gained the championship cf America by defeating Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, Feb. 7, 1882.

With three ribs broken . from his spinal column, and exhausted by pro fuse hemorrhage from a severed tem poral artery, August Holtsman, a tim berman, was brought out of the Alden Coal company's mine at New Gilchrist Tuesday morning, after a narrow es cape from instant death under a fall of slate. The accident occurred about 5:30 o'clock in the morning. Holtsman was riding down an entry on the rear end of a coal car, driven by a Slav mule driver. The mule and the front end of the car on which the driver sat had passed before the fall of slate occurred, and the heavy mass crashed down on the rear of the car, partially crushing Holtsman under its weight. The driver gave the alarm and help was speedily at hand. The prostrate man was released from his perilous predicament with great difficulty and hurried to a place of safety. A deep scalp wound, severing the temporal artery, caused profuee hemorrhage, and the man had nearly bled to death before a surgeon arrived. In addition it was discovered that three of his ribs had been driven from the backbone. The man's' condition is serious, ow ing to extreme weakness from loss of blood, but it is believed that he has a chance of recovery.

It will be shipped to America pn the Baltic, which sails today. After lying several hours in a private mortuary chapel in Horseferry road in London, the body was removed to the Catholic chapel in Westminster, where nuns watched over it. After a certificate was granted set ting forth that Mr. .Brady died of angina pectoris. Consul General Grif fiths and the vice consul general dis patched the necessary formalities. The body was embalmed and placed in a lead coffin. Mr. Brady's secretary, Mr. Dahlstrom, will accompany the body to America. The officials of the Carlton kept the fact of Mr. Brady's death a profound secret and yesterday afternoon when the news was communicated to several of the financier's friends,, they were overcome with astonishment The degree of secrecy exercised by the Carlton management can be imag ined from the fact that A. B. Wise of the American Tobacco company called to see Mr. Brady and was told that he could not be seen. - Another friend who had an appoint ment to meet Mr. Brady called at the hotel and was Informed that Mr. Brady was out, which was sadly true, as the body had left the hotel several hours before and was on its" way to Liverpool. The' explanation of the secrecy of the officials of the Carl ton Is that they were given strict In structions by Louis Sherry and other friends of Mr. Brady not to communi cate the facta to any one. There was a big ball at the Carl ton Tuesday eight and it was feared that the enjoyment of the night might be lessened if the dancers knew that death had come to one of the hotel's guests. Mr. Brady came to London to con sult R. Levering concerning a deal with the Mexican Transport company for building a fleet of oil carriers from Mexican and American and European ports in connection with the Pearson field. He had been ill during the voyage from America. He arrived here on Monday and a doctor was summoned on Tuesday, who declared his malady angina pectoris. At 10:30 o'clock Mr. Brady was seized with cardiac spasms from which he died half an hour later. Anthony N. Brady was born In Lille, France, and came to this coun try with his parents when a child of less than five years. At 15 he was obliged to quit school and to start out to earn his own way in the world. He started as cashier in a hotel barber shop in Albany and ended his career as a recognized power in the world of finance. His first large .accumulation of mon ey was gained through a chain of tea stores, which he established soon af ter reaching his majority. From tea he turned to contracting and he mean time became prominent in democratic politics. He became interested in gas and with, others he purchased gas plants at Troy and Albany and Chi cago. He took up extensivve holdings also in various New York City corpora tions. In Wall street he was known as a free lance and his methods won for him in some quarters the sobri quet of the "Wall Street Mole" be cause financiers were unable to say just what Brady was doing until they were confronted with the results. The extent of Mr. Brady's fortune is unknown, but an estimate places it at ?25,000,000, and "probably more." He was a director in nearly 60 cor porations and controlled some of the largest public utilities in this city and state. , He 13 survived by his widow, Mary Marcia Myers Brady, five children, and 11 grandchildren.

Jesse Root Grant, youngest son of President Grant, and whose brother is U. S. Grant, whose second marriage took place in San Diego last week, filed suit for divorce in the District court yesterday morning. Grant has resided in Goldtield for over six months. His headquarters have been at the Gold field hotel. The complaint is a brief document and etates that, Jesse Grant and Eliza beth Chapman Grant were married in San Francisco Sept. 21, 18S0; that there are two children, a son and a daughter, both of legal age, and that there. Is no community property. The ground on which the divorce is asked is simple desertion. Mr. Grant's daugh ter was recently married in San Fran cisco to an officer of the navy. In J896 Mr. Grant caused a sensa tion politically by forsaking the re publican ranks to become a populist. In explaining his reasons for the change he said he felt debarred from the republican party by reason of his conviclons both on the silver question and on the government ownership of telegraph lines and railroads, and that he found the platform of the people's party came nearest to coinciding with his own view 8. . In 1903 he was a prominent candi date for the democratic nomination for the presidency. Binghampton Cloak Building. Binghampton Cloak Building. Fifty or sixty girls axe ead at Bingha'mpton. N.
