did not have much force.
Round -Creedon smashed Green a cou-
pie of good lefts on the jaw and body and
ducked under Green's counters. The au-
dience shouted Fight !" make them

the stomach and cheek. He followed with
light right and left taps on the face. Cree
don seemed weak and listless.
Round 1.-THE gibes of the crowd seemed

slogged lively for minute at the opening,
but ITO great amount of damage was done
Then they eased off and danced about till

Round l9-Nothirg was done aside from
the exchange of a few light slaps.
Round 20-Credon forced matters and
landed few lefts, but Green countered
neatly and neither scored an advantage in

on the jaw but Creedon never WINGED. Green
worked his left for the body but had nc

"We have not called upon the police with
this information yet" continued the manu-
facturer, "for the reason that we have not
rot the information into shape for them.
But we are working hard to trace it. We
are examining our books and today we will
know Just the firm that we sentit to-"
Mr.. Lebkuckner said that his New York
customers included the leading silversmiths
of the, city. 1t was the practice of all such
firms to keep track of their wares and
s.No. Sl4" should be traced direct to the
purchaser
"a silver match-holder or toothpick-hold-
er such as No. 6l4 is rarely if ever purchased
for a woman or by one, unless it is intend
ed as a present for gentleman. The little
tray surrounding the cup shows in itself
what it is to be used for-cigar ashes, burned
matches OF broken toothpiclls.
''There is no size of bromo -seltzer bottle
made that fits that article we made" said
Mr. Lebkuckner. II tried it myself today
All are either too large or too small. A
bottle in bottlc-holder fits perfectly. The
bIomo-seltzer bottle must have ratified
around in No. 8l4 and showed plainly that
it did not belong there"
Mr.. 'Lebkuckner said that only fifteen Of
the silver match safes of the design sent to
Cornish had been made by his firm. Of
these bne each had been sold in he following
oitiess New York, Brooklyn, Salem (Mass.)
Newark On. J.), Baltimore, Syracuse, San
Francisco and St. Louis. Two were sold in
Middletown, Conn, and five were disposed
OF to firms in Chicago.
The: names of the firms purchasing them,
Mr.. Lebkuckner withheld at the request OF
the police.
Captain McCluskey of the Detective Bu-
rcau said today that he had ascertained the
store at which the tootpick-holder was
bought, but he refused to say what estab-
lishment it is further than it is in New

as the most important one that has been

CUBANS ARE LEARNING
The Santiago Dockwallopers Strike for
Higher Wages

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 24.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.) The
boon OF employment at fair wages Isl SEEM
ingly not appreciated by Cuban laborers. A
few days ago the dock laborers struck for a
raise of 55 cents day. They were getting
sl.25 a day, which is 25 cents more than
they were getting under the Spaniards. Now
they refuse to go to work under $l.8O. Gen
eral Wood told the ringleaders that if they
did not instantly go to work he would i'm
port all the negro laborers from Jamaica
that were required for government pur-
poses. As result several returned to work
and enough were obtained to unload the
Port Victor.
Twenty miles have SO far been completed
of the road between Santiago and Holguin,
a distance of about l30 miles. This road,
when finished, will be of great value to the
military department of the province as we'll
as of inestimable value to the country dis
tricts
D1ring Spanish rule there had been only
the semblance of road nothing, in fact,
but mountain trail. In many places it
was impossible for men and horses to pass
through. A large body of troops can be
massed at any point in about one-tenth the
time it would formerly have occupied.
