room last night did not take place. AS
the authorities refused to allow the four
round set-to between WongO, the Indian
puglist Of Portsmouth. and Jack Bolan.

Bolan arrived I'm the city last evening,
and II was said that he and Wongo would
spar for points at ThOlfs hail. on west

TO prevent the meeting. At l o'clock this
morning there had been no match so far
as the officers of the Third District knew
and they were still on the alert TO pre-
vent any infraction OF the law The ex-
position-grounds was suggested as place
at which the two pugIlists might test one

negotiations to bring the Greek Church OF
all Russia. under the personal control of
the Gear. into the keeping OF the Vatican.
Father O'Gorman was asked TO reduce this
statement to writing and have Mgr. Satolll

question as to It's authenticity. he said:
THAT is unnecessary. | speak for Mgr.

Father OGorman is professor of ecclesi-

he has been the spokesman of the PcDe's

For two years the loss OF mail upon the
Grand Trunk. including the American
pouches consigned to Canada and the mail
from Montreal and Toronto consigned to
all the Western States has been source
OF great annoyance to Canada and the
United States. At last the Canadian gov

to assign Major j. T.. Stuart TO the case
with power to act. After working on the
case some days Stuart became convinced
that the thefts were being done on the
