AMONG THE SPORTS.
A Hard Fight Between Need
ham and Gilmore.
The Latter Knocked Out in the
Twentieth Round.
Jack Dempsey Talks Fight
Weir and Murphy.
Needham Wins the Fight.

MINNEAPoLIs, March 27.-The fight
between Harry Gilmore and Dannie
Needham took place this morning, begin
ning at $3.50. From the start it was plain
that while Gilmore was more scientific he
lacked in hard hitting qualities that finally
gave Needham the fight. In the TWEEN
tieth round Gilmore received a terrific
thump in the neck and went down like a
log. He managed to again face his vic
tor. "Biffl' Down he went again from
a vicious left-hander in the throat, this
time not to rise until too late and Need
ham had won tie battle. 1t was a good
fight hard fought.
For the first ten rounds Needham did
all of the leading, getting in most of the
heavy blows, which were pretty well dis
tributed over Gilmore's face, neck and
body, while Gilmore frequently count
cred. though less heavily. No danger
Gus work had been done so far and no
~knockdown had occurred, though each
had been forced to the ropes.
In the eleventh round Gilmore did his
first leading and from that to the eight
eenth he pushed the fighting.
In the nineteenth Needham began
rushing and there was a lively inter
change. Gilmore acted on the defensive
in the twentieth round. He had two
eyes in mourning and was nearly winded.
Dannie's right eye was badly swollen, but
that was about all. He was in good con
dition.
Needham forced the fighting from the
start and forced his man all around the
ring. Finally his opportunity came. He
landed on Gilmore neck and the latter
went to the floor. Just before time was
called Gilmore staggered to his feet but
was groggy and almost lone for. Need
ham rushed at him ~savagely, knocking
him fiat in his own corner. Gilmore lay
there fifteen seconds and the fight was
awarded to Needham. Over 200 sports
were present. The fight was conducted
in a very orderly manner. The fight was
for a purse of $500 with skin gloves.

NEW YoRK, March 27.-Iti is now gen.
orally believed the steamer Conserva sunk
with all on board, though Henry Kuhn
hardt has a different theory. He believes
that if the Conserva collided with another
vessel she would not be cut in two, but
that the other vessel would. He thinks
the Conserva's boats were lowered to help
persons on the other boat aud abandoned
on accoun of the heavy sea. He thinks
the white chairs and sofas found belonged
to the steamer Anticoke aud not to the
Conscrva. The latter's furniture was
painted in colOrs.

MTNNEAPoLIs, March 81. Mind
Reader Bishop to day performed his feat
of finding a needle, but it nearly cost him
his life and may yet result seriously.
Bishop was not feeling well but was de-
tcrmined to keep his promise. The drive
was a distance of over a mile through the
most crowded streets OF the city. Bishop
was blindfolded and went straight to the
hiding place of the needle, but immedi-
atcly fell in a fit. His body became rigid
and streams of perspiration poured from
him Doctors say the fit was something
like catelepsy. At a late hour this after
noon Bishop was in a very bad condition,
coming out of one fit only to fall into
another.

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 27.-To day
an officer of the war department at Wash
ington came here to take charge of Capt.
Craft OF the United States army, who has
been in confinement here since Monday
evening. Tho captain arrived here on
the train from the West on that evening,
and at the station acted as though de
mented. He was taken in charge and
locked up and watched for fear he might
do himself bodily injury. Last night he
became more rational and said the last
thing he could remember was somebody
striking him on the head with the end Of
a revolver.
A gold watch and $500 in cash, he said,
we're missing. 1t is the theory of the po-
lice that Capt. Craft was sand bagged,
robbed and then placed on the train at
some point west of this city, probably
Pittsburg. He was taken to W~ashington
this afternoon.

GANNON'S GREAT SURPRISE.

He ParaIyzed the ~Freeholders by Declin-
ing s5, 900 for the Kearney Road.
Freebooter Pfingsten was unable to at
tend the meeting of the Board of Free
holders yesterday because of illness. His
absence was not a serious matter, for but
little business was lone that interests the
public.
Warden Grimes reported to the Board
that he had under his charge 245 employees
and prisoners, and that since his last
monthly statement it had cost 81, 1926. IA to
provide for them. The Warden also
asked to have some repairs made to the
roof of the Penitentiary and on other
parts of the building.
Counsel to the Board informed it that
the decision in the County road case
would not be given by the Court of
Errors and Appeals until mex April. ellis
report of the legal proceedings was very
extensive. 1t was ordered that the report
be spread in full on the minutes.
The greatest surprise to a FreehOlder
that ever took place was caused by James
\ =. Cannon, the County Superintendent.
He notified the Board that he would not
require the additional $1,000 some time
ago asked for to complete the Kearney
road; that he had money enough on
hand.
JULIUS O6SdI anu llOly NuOSCS! CA
claimed one of the old members when
this remarkable announcement was
made.
Freebooter Ellis, on behalf of the com
mittee appointed to revise the dietary
system and advertise for supplies, said 1t
had been done, and that many articles of
food had been added to the list never
before provided. A resolution offered by
Freebooter Pairson thanking Hat Dealer
Goldman, on Hoboken avenue, for the
donation of ten dozen hats to the inmates
at the aims house was unanimously
adopted. A resolution that a new stone
crusher be purchased was disposed of in
the same manner.
F~feeholder Ellis then informed the
Board that he thought that when 4
man earned his salary he should receive
it when due, and after the Board agreed
with him it adjourned.

Only three performances of "My Aunt

vance sale indicates crowded houses for
the balance of the engagement. Monroe
seems to grow funnier nightly, his
hearty infectious laugh never fails to
elicit roars while his topical song, "Eh,

hour. Rice is assuredly the ~cleanest cut
and most versatile of the light comedians
of his class. AS q dancer his gracefulness
is almost effemlnate in its neatness and
finish and what a trio Merville and Rose
bud make in that wing dance! Mr..
Mack, who has just recovered from q
severe cold, sang "Polly Glider" last
night with his wonted sympathy.
Bernard Dyllyn's song seThe Seven
Ages" must be heard to be appreciated.
Catherine Linyard has an excellent high
soprano voice and her method is admira-
BILE. But perhaps the most effective
voice in this whole ensemble of voices is
that of Mr.. Rafael.
Those who have not seen "Aunt
Bridget" should not miss so excellent a
potpouri of mirth, music and merriment.

This paper is Democratic in principles
aud Is independent In its OteaOs ON all
local questions.
Make an Example.

If the New Charter Tax Commits
sioners apply generally the methods
which they have used in Mr.. Wersebe's
case, they will make themselves a few
bitter enemies, but they will earn the
commentator of the great body OF
taxpayers. We would not for the
world prejudice Mr.. Wersebe's case by
expressing an opinion upon its aspect
as it now stands. He has not been
heard in explanation, and there may
possibly be some method by which
he can reconcile the seemingly ire
concileable valuations which he has
put upon the houses.
But we have no hesitation in say
ing that the steps taken by the Com
missioners to get at the truth were
right and proper in the highest de-
gree. The public records of sales,
mortgages, contracts, and building
estimates are the fountain heads of
information upon real estate values,
and it shows how badly matters were
managed of old that there is a certain
spice of novelty in the present resort
to these obvious springs of knowledge.
The publicity attached to this case,
too, will be highly beneficial. The
proceedings will serve as a warning to
other property owners who may desire
to s'beat" the city in the assessment of
their holdings. They will gather from
the present vigorous shaking up of
the dry bones that the,new commits
sioners are neither timorous nor in
dolent in doing their duty.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Wersebe's
case will be pushed just as far as JUS
tice may require. Perhaps there may
then be less trouble in future. Assur-
eddy tine beginning Of a sound finan-
cial system for the city consists in the
strict enforcement OF the tax laws.
