J. Corbett to Sleep in 1897. Chicago, Oct. 22.—Robert Fitzsim- mons, former champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, died at a hos- pital here early today after an illness of five days, of pneumonia. The former champion was taken sick last Tuesday while appearing in a vaudeville theater, and his ailment was at first diagnosed as ptomaine poisoning. Later it was discovered that he was suffering from double, (lobar) pneumonia, and physicians declared that he could not live. Sat- urday he lapsed into unconsciousness, from which he did not rally except at intervals. During the first days of his illness Fitzsimmons was the recipient of many messages from men who he had formerly met in the ring. Fitzsimmons, until he sank into the final stupor fought for his life as he had fought for victory in the prize “‘ring. Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who was ber husband during his illness, suf- fered a nervous breakdown last Thursday and for a time it was be- leved her condition was dangerous, but she soon recovered and resumed her vigil at his bedside. “Bob was a great fighter and good husband,” said Mrs. Fitzsimmons.” He worked hard on the theatrical circuit and I believe the exposure between the acts and the drafts which blew through the winge caused his illness.” Robert, Jr., son of the dead pugi- list, is expected to arrive here from New York today. “Fighting Bob” lived up to his nickname and ring reputation almost to the end. He refused to admit de- feat even after physicians had given up hope. Fitzsimmons was born in Melsten, Cornwall, England, June 4, 1862. His, arents, however, soon moved to New ealand. Fitzsimmons started work in his father’s blacksmith shop and at the ‘age of 18, gained fame for his dex- terity in swinging a heavy hammer and fashioning horse shoes. Naturally athletic, Fitzsimmons en- gaged in all kinds of sports. Before taking up boxing he was a hammer with GENERAL PERSHING SENDS ALONG LIST Names of Those Who Met Death on American Transport (TOTAL OF SIXTY-SEVEN ; Among the Victims Were Two Young Germans, One Having Father Living in German Capital-—Official List Given Out in Washington Today. ‘Washington, Oct. 22.—Sixty-seven lives were lost when the army trans- port Antilles went down last Wednes- day from torpedoing by a submarine.

Jem Mace at Timaru, New Zealand in 1880. He defeated four men, knock- ing out three of them, and thus be- came the amateur champion of the country. The next year he defended his honors, defeating five opponents in one night. Fitzsimmons continued at the forge for the next six or seven years, but always was ready to fight. After fighting three battles with Jim Hall, then regarded as the middleweight champion of Australia, Fitzsimmons came to America in 1890. He was one of the lightest men to win the heavy- weight championship. He rarely welghed more than 165 pounds when in condition and gave away as much as 50 pounds to some opponents. Fitzsimmons won the world's heavyweight title on March 17,1897 when he defeated J. J. Corbett, in the 14th round of their memorable battle at Carson City, Nevada. He stopped Corbett with his famous solar plexus punch, of which he was the origina- tor. For two years Fitzsimmons clung to the honor, losing it to J. J. Jef- fries who knocked him out in the 11th round, June 8, 1899, at Coney Island, N. Y. In 1902 he met Jeffries again, hoping to regain the crown, but went down to defeat in the eighth round. Old-timers of the ring say the last knockout at the hands of Jeffries started Fitzsimmons on the down- ward path. Fitzsimmons made a fortune in tho ring, but his earnings soon vanished. He had a varled matrimonial career, having been married four times. STEAMER FIRE. Dutch Vessel of 6,800 Tons Gross Causes Firemen Hard Fight.

When Companies B and C, 301st Machine Gun Battalion, come to New Britain for the week-end, they will know someone has been preparing a welcome for them while they have been learning to be soldiers at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass. A meeting of the ‘War Bureau will be held tanight at 8 o'clock at Mayor Quigley's office when plans will be made to give the boys the greatest reception ever ten- dered visiting heroes in the history of New Britain. It is probable that the Home Guard of New Britain, Plainville, Bérlin and Newington will be invited to partici- pate in the parade Saturday after- noon, previous to the football game at St. Mary's playground, the receipts from which will be spent for athletic equipment for the soldiers. In a measure, the observance will be of a state-wide nature, as Mayor Quigley has sent invitations to Mayor Hagarty of Hartford, Mayor Scully of Waterbury, Mayor Dutton of Bristol, Mayor Donovan of Meriden and May- or Brown of Norwich. A large num- ber of Norwich soldiers are in the companies coming home for the hol- iday. Many selectmen will also be in- vited. The second district exemption hoard has received a certified list of the first 40 per cent. of selectives sent from this city to Camp Devens and has been informed that out of that amount there were only four rejected for physical disability.

London, Oct. 22.—British airmen earried out numerous attacks on Ger- man airdromes in Belgium and on im« portant obectives nmear Soarbrucken, northeast of Metz, Saturday and Sun- day. The official statement on avia- tion activities, says that nine Ger- man machines were brought down and that four others were driven down out of control. The statement follows: “In spite of very misty weather a further attack into Germany was car- ried out by our airplanes this after- noon. A foundry and railway junce tion ten miles north of Saarbrucken were bombed with over a ton of bombs. _Very good results were ob- served. Bursts were seen on the foun- dry and the station, where a big ex=- plosion occurred. Many hostile scouts attacked the bombing squadron over the obectives and four were driven down out of control. We took photo- graphs. All our machines returned safely except one. ‘“‘Saturday the weather was very fine but a thick haze prevented observa-~ i tion for artillery. During the day we carried out bombing operations vig- orously. A total of 238 bombs were dropped on the enemy’s airdromes at Gontrode and Roulers, on the Corte- marck station and on hostile billets and hutments. One airdrome at Roul- ers was bombed from a low height. One bomb was seen to hit and blow to pleces a German machine on the ground while another fell through the | center of a hangar. The enemy’s per- sonnel and machines on the ground then were attacked with much gunfire from our airplanes. During this bombing attack our scouts operated in the neighborhood and brought down seven German machines, which crashed in full view of their airdrome. “At night the enemy's airdromes were again attacked. A ton of bombs was dropped on the Ingelmunster air- drome’and railway station and on i the ajrdpome of Coutrai. At ong of {thése & ct hit was.obtained fipon 'a hostile machine endeavoring to jeave the ground. In the course of ihe day nine German machines were downed and four others driven down out of control.

The other destroyer, which should have been present, never appeared, and it is thought likely that it was de- stroyed at the beginning of the action. After fighting bravely for half an hour, during which she was subjected to the most terrific concentrated fire; the Mary Rose sank. Ten members of the crew were found clinging to buoys and rescued. : The correspondent says that the ré| port of the butchery of the crews of the merchantmen passed description. | Two women on one ship waved a piece of white clothing which “was perfectly visible. They were silenced. by a volley from the German crufsers. The newspapers take two divergent lines of criticism regarding the *at- tack on the convoyed merchantmen in the North sea. According to one view the incident was one that no foresight or vigilance could avert and, although regrettable in every way, cannot exercise any decisive effect. On the other hand some newspa- pers ask what has become of the vaunted British command of the North sea. One paper comments as | follow “The occurrence is extremely d quieting. With the whole Amprl' n navy working in conjunction ~ with ours and with our patrol relieved vessels coming from America Wwe ought to have ample margin of se- curity against such mischances. “During operations in the Gulf of Riga onc of the submarines met an squadron, cons (vessels built in 1914 of 25,293 tons and carrying a complement of 1,160 men), cruisers and a large number of torpedo boats. at the leading dreadnousht, but being shelled by seaplanes and riddled with shot, was obliged to submerge with- out noting results.
