ON LARRY TEMPLE AS
A COLORED CHAMPION

Joe Wacott the Black Demon, met with
surprise in Larry Temple, the shifty
colored fighter and by the merest margin
managed to land the decision in his corner.
In Temple Walcott met man who prom
ises much in the fighting game, and if
Larry does not wrest the laurels from
Walcott's brow it will surprise many.
Temple is not as well known to the ring
followers as Walcott, and is very reticent
and hard to get acquainted with. lie goes
about his training in methodcal, sys-
tcma.ic manner, and when not training
keeps in the background.
His favorite haunt is Captain Bonds
training quarters at Stratford, near Bridge
port and spends his time in quiet and
seclusion. One Of Temples favorte bev-
crages is milk, and he drinks this while in
training In his fight with Walcott Tues
day night Temple played for the cham
pion's stomach, and it was these blows
that counted, as it has been demonstrated
time and again that there is nothing but
trouble for the man who hammers at the
coco of the sturdy black man.
It is said of Temple that he has nothing
of the yellow streak in him and is willing
to fight as long as he has strength. In his
first fight with Billy Stiff, Temple lost be-
cause he fought differently from his Gus
tom and took stiff beating, but later put
Billy away in two rounds.
From slow fighter Temple has devel-
oped into clever boxer and his career
will bear watching.

The meeting took place in the hall OF
agriculture. which was crowded with DILL
cials, stockholders and prominent imam
ciers. At the opening of the meeting the
management submitted report OF the
recent events ON the isthmus and the
course taken by the company. The re-
port sets forth that the republic OF Pana-
ma today exercised sovereignty over the
isthmus, displacing Colombia's former
sovereignty. that the United States,
France, Russia Great Britain, Germany
and other countries had recognized Pana-
mas supremacy and added:
For Existing Relations.
'In view Of the accomplished facts and
in the face OF superior forces, we can
only maintain and continue the existing
engagements with the United States.
The report also explains that the TACT
that the United States senate has not
ratified the treaty with Panama deferred

the Colombian budget to reimburse the
company for its losses. The agent of the
company at Bogota resisted and the French
government gave assurances that it would
do all possible to prevent the sacrilce
of French property and interests.
Following the Panama outbreak, Co
lombia notified the company November

rights, but would order the transfer of
the concessions to any government what

"On December 3, Columbias agent here

pany entered into relations with the sepa-
ratist government or transferred its rights
to another government, Colombia would
