A New York Son Stabs His
Father for Interfering in the
courtship With the Young
Mans Sweetheart.
DEED COMMITTED
IN GIRLS PRESENCE
The Father Had Gone to the Girls
Home to Chastise His Son, for
Sparkling" Her.

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
New York, July IS During a quar-
rel between Conrad Schirmer and his
19-year-old son Conrad, at the home of
the sons sweetheart, Miss Clara
Lazarus, in East 1O4th street today,
the youth stabbed his father with
piece of broken glass, inflicting prob
ably a mortal wound. The elder
Schirmer several weeks ago ordered
his son to cease paying attentions to
Miss Lazarus, but the youth had be-
come engaged to her and his mother
pleaded his cause. The father then
consented that the boy should marry
the girl when he was 21 but Schrimer
declared that Conrad must stop stay
ing out so late nights when calling
on his sweetheart. Last night the boy
remained very late and the father
went there in search of him. When
the father attempted to chastise the
son in the presence of his finance the
boy resisted and in the struggle that
ensued the father broke through a
glass panel Of the door. Miss Lazarus
attempted to interfere in behalf of
the boy and Conrad seized piece of
broken glass and plunged it into his
fathers side inHicting dangerous
wound. The wounded man was re-
moved to the hospital but refused to
make charge against his son. Con-
rad was arrested.

Winnipeg, July 1S.-The amateur
boxing tournament for the western
Canada championships, which will be
held at the Auditorium theater all
next week, in conjunction with the
moving pictures Of the Jimmy Britt
Battling Nelson lightweight champion
ship fight, promises to be the biggest
thing of the kind ever held here. En-
tries for the tourney are being sent in
to the secretary from all parts of the
province, and also North Dakota, while
it is probable that Kenora, Port Ar
thur and Fort William will be repre-
sented as we'll. The local entries show
indications of being numerous, all the
more prominent of the local amateurs
having decided to enter the competi-
ton.
Jim Cranston, of Brainerd, will like
ly compete in the middleweight class.
He is a powerfully built fellow, ac-
cording to reports, and has had con-
siderable experience in the ring He
has written for information regarding
the bouts. Harry LIE Croix, of Grand
Forks, desires to compete in the light
weight class, while two boxers, Jack
Long and Fred Humphries, are en-
pected along from Fargo. Earl Dack
will likely come from Kenora for the
lightweight class. Dack won the Man.
itoba championship in this class last
year, beating Jim Page, and the local
scrapper will have chance to even
up this time. A couple of Porl Ar
thur boxers, one in the 125-pound
class, and the other lightweight. are
anxious to compete, and have so noti-
field the Crescent club. Vernon Aus
tin will probably come along if suit
able opponent can be secured to meet
him. There are a couple of local well
terweights who think they could stay
with Austin for half dozen rounds,
and if they show form in the opening
bouts OF the tournament, Austin will
come along to meet them for the cham
pionship.
Nearly all the local boxers are in
training for the event. Harry Ham
bleton. the welterweight, who boxed
Dave Irons. will take part. and so will
Alf Mitcheson, who reached the finals
in his class two years ago. kid"
Buchan will defend his title in the
bantam class, but reports have it that
he will have no easy task this time,
as there are couple of local young
sters with their eyes on the honors
in this class. All the classes are fill
ing we'll, and there will be some
spirited contests before the champion
ships are decided.
The special bouts which will round
out the program for the week will be a
feature of the program. William
Lauder, the Scotch champion, and Art
Edmunds, of Toronto, who boxed six
rounds to draw last spring, will go
ten rounds on Wednesday, July 25.
They have agreed upon the match,
which is at catchweights, and will give
Lauder about twelve pounds the bet
ter of the weights. DR.. ]. H. Baird
has been mutually decided upon as
referee of this bout.

Patronize your town papers, build
them up, and they will build the town

and greater opportunities. Do not be
afraid that your business is going to
be hurt by the recent exposures of
wrong doing in the commercial world.
No man who is doing an honest busi-
ness can be injured by the light. All
business will be better for the clean
ing process it is going through and
for the stamping out of evil"

Was Used as Motive Power For the
Shall's Auto.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Paris, July 1S.-The chilk-like shad
of Persia holds the record Of having
driven motor with the most expen-
sive brandy as motive power instead
of gasoline.
When the shah received his new car
he was as excited as child with a
new toy and insisted that it should be
set going at once.
Gasoline is not yet common COM
modify in Persia. The place was
searched, but not a gill of the explo-
sive spirit could be found. The couf-
tiers trembled for their heads as they
told the sublime ruler the truth.
The shah fumed and then his cur
iosity led him to inquire the nature of
the fluid required. 1t was spirit. The
shah frightened at once. He had lots
of it, 1868 brandy specially purveyed
to the imperial household. The brandy
was brought, the tanks filled and new
motor car soon hummed along under
the explosive force of probably as ex-
pensive a brandy as can be anywhere
purchased.

in the bed Of mountain lake in

numbered something like 100000.
The superstitious natives threw gold
