ANCON DECLARED TO
BE A FOREIGN PORT
Vessels Not of the United States May
Trade Between That Harbor
and This Country

Merchants and importers doing
business at the port of Ancon in the
republic of Panama are interested in
the territorial status of that port. Be
ing within the Panama canal zone it
was taken for granted that Ancon
would be regarded as a coastwise port
and that therefore foreign vessels
would be debarred from carrying
freight between that port and ports of
the United States. But Congress has
not taken any formal steps to define
the political status of the Panama
port and because of that omission an
inquiry was forwarded to Washington
recently. A reply was received by
Collector Stratton yesterday to the eff
feet that until otherwise ordered for
eign vessels Will be allowed to do busi-
ness between Ancon and ports of the
United States. This practically leaves
it in the condition of a foreign port.

SULLIVAN DEFEATS BARRY
IN TWENTY-ROUND FIGHT
Victor Is the Cleverer and Furnishes
the Game San Francisco Boxer
af WILL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.-"Twin"
Sullivan of Boston was given the de-
cision over Dave Barry of San Fran
cisco tonight after twenty rounds of
fast fighting. The contest was one Of
the best seen here in a long time.
There was not an idle moment during
the entire twenty rounds, Barry doing
all the forcing, but taking a terrible
punishment in almost every round.
Sullivan, who is a clever fighter and
a splendid ring general, did not exert
himself to any great extent during the
first half Of the go and up to the
tenth round II looked almost even.
During the last half dozen rounds,
however, Sullivan cut loose and pun
ished Barry at will with every sort of
blow. Barry put up a game fight and
was always coming in for more.
Though his face was badly marked he
was hardly staggered by any of the
blows. Charley Eyton refereed the
fight.
