Germany Storm Swept

Berlin, Nov. z3.-The high winds
which have been sweeping over Ger
many for thirty-six hours accom-
panied by a heavy rainfall continue
to delay traffic and interrupt tele-
graphic communication, and have
caused several railroad accidents. At
Schlechburg the wind started several
freight cars which were on a switch
in motion, their speed accelerated and
finally they ran onto the main line,
and collided with an express train.
No one was baly injured.
The Hamburg American line steam
er Deutschland during the storm on
Saturday tore out the pile to which
she was moored while unloading at

PRIZE FIGHT
is TONIGHT
George Gardner and Bob
FitzsimmOns Will Go Twenty
Rounds for Championship

George Gardner and Bob Fitzsim-
mons will contest twenty rounds fol-
the light heavyweight championship
in San Francisco tonight.
Interest in this match grows keener
as the hour of battle draws near
The merits of both men have been
weighed and their chances of victory
discussed. Fitz seems to have expert
ence and the power to land Knockout
punches in his favor On the other
hand, Gardner has youth and vigor,
cleverness and speed. Despite all
these requisites that have made Gard
nel a champion in the light heavy
weight class. the supposedly wise men
are picking Fitzsimmons to win and
The odds are 10 to 9. Those who are
playing the short end are banking on
the old adage that youth will be
served"
Gardner will go into the ring a
leavier man than his opponent. He
will have the same reach, and, in the
opinion of many who have seen the
Lowell boxer perform, just as hard a
punch. Fitz's shoulders are no broad
er than Gardners
Fitz certainly has some of his old
time fire. In training he has shown
dggressiveness and punching ability
and every visitor to the training
quarters marvels at his physical pow
ers. In private he has hammered Joe
kennedy and Sammy Berger to his
hearts content. In public he has al
lowed his sparring partners to lam
o&ste him at will. In public he has
coughed and shown his awkwardness
in order that reports of his form may
reach his young opponent. If Fitz
hopes to deceive Gardner into a state
% overconfidence he is deceiving him
self. Gardner facetiously remarked
yesterday that "Fitz has more stalls
than a livery stable" Gardner says
he is on to F1tz S tricks. He has seen
Fitz battle a number of times and
knows his style. He has the advan-
tage of the Cornishman, as the latter
has never seen Gardner in the ring.
Gardner is in magnificent condition
His whole body is a mass of hidden
muscles. He is a handsome specimen
Of manhood, full of vigor and conf
dent he will beat the lanky black
smith. Gardners skin is as white as
an infants. His head is supported by
a massive neck and his broad should
ers would attract attention at all
times. His arms are well developed
The muscles are supple and he uses
MS fists with great skill

Chicago, Nov Acknowledging re-

issue
This point, it was said. is the taxi
ine back of the men employed by the
City Railway Company who went out
on sympathetic strikea
The company asserted that these
men violated agreements, while the
strikers assert that the agreements
were not properly made.
During the past twelve hours strike
sympathizers did more damage to the
car lines than in any previous time
since the strike began.
Wires were cut on many of the
Cross town lines and all manner Of
blockade was put on the tracks in
nigher piles than ever.
Arrangements that Manager Nc
Culdoch made to pay off the first d.
vision of five hundred striking en-
ployes were made futile today by the
refusal of the strikers to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to draw
sheir money.

clerks were there to receipt Ior badges

Meanwhile peace negotiations were
making but little headway. Rumors
that the two sides were approaching

as the day wore on and the anticipat-
ed joint conference was delayed.

WORRIES THE BONDHOLDERS
Want Information Regarding
Colombian Situation

London, Nov. 24-Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has requested the council
of the foreign bondholders to supply
further details of the Colombian loan.
When drawn up these will be for
warded to Ambassador Durand and
presented to Washington to urge the
rights of British bondholders in con-
nection with the Republic of Panama.
From the council the Associated
Press secured the following;
In regard to the reported state
ment of the Panama commissioners
that Panama declines responsibility
for the Colombian debt that on the
ground that when the greater part Of
the money was borrowed Panama was
not included in Colombia, the facts
appear to be as follows:
Panama declared its independence
of Spain November 2S, 1921, and in the
solemn declaration of the revolution
airy junta stated: That the territory
of the isthmus belonged to the repub-
lican state of Colombia, TO the con-
gress whereof 1t would, in due course,
send it's deputy The war with Spain
continued for some time thereafter
and in 1922 Colombia issued an ex-
ternal loan of $4,000, 900. the greater
part of which was to be devoted 70
prosecuting the war of independence.
In 1924 Colombia issued a further loan
of s23. 900 for the same purpose
IL would be surprising If Panama at
tempted to repudiate responsibility

become part of a free state.
