LEWIS OUTPOINTS
IRISH CHAMPION
o'keefe Proves choppins Block for
Phladelphian, Though He
Finishes Strong.

Boston, Mass. Dec 24.-Harry
Lewis of Philadelphia was given the
decision last night over Pat O'Keefe
of Ireland at the end of u rounds of
hard fighting before the Winnisimmet
club in Chelsea. Lewis acquired long
lead in the first few rounds. which
O'Keefe's game rally in the last two
could not overcome. During the first
three rounds Lewis apparently landed
at will and in the second round put
O'Keefe down for the count. The lat
ter managed to last the round out and.
though severely punished for several
rounds more, contrived to avoid a
knockout.
O'Keefe seemed unable to use his
right, depending on a left lead all the
time In the 18th round the Irishman
forced the Philadelphia into a corner
and by heavy body punches soon had
him in bad way. The last round was
practically repetition of the 18th, but
the margin Lewis had was too great
| to be overcome.

Miss Mildred Holland has been work

play, The Woman of Today" which
she will present for the first time at
the Illinois Christmas day. There is
another reason also: The fact that
this wonderful little actress is desir-
Gus of giving her Rock Island friends
treat. A treat it should be for dur
ing the three years she has been play.
| ing Rock Island she has never failed
| to delight her auditors. Her plays
without an exception. have been good
and while comedy will be a somewhat
new departure for her she will un
| doubtedly cover herself with the usual
honors. By request Miss Holland has
consented to giving one of her pretty
curtain talks after the close of the
second act of her play. These littlf
talks have done much to win hel
friends in the city. She will have

Are Needed to Make Total
of 60 Orders.

The city council. in committee of the
whole session, last evening, devoted
considerable time to a discussion of
the proposed map to be published by
the Iowa Publishing company, and de-
cided to encourage the proposition. In
fact, the council decided to take the
necessary steps to insure the project
success. NJ. Huebinger, president of
the company, was present, and explain
ed at length the character of the maps
and showed that. to publish them will
require at least $500. The maps sell
for $25 each, and in order to put them
out the publishers require. that 60 be
subscribed for So far "a have been
subscribed for, and it is understood
that at least 10 more will be disposed
! of to individuals.
VIII Subscribe for TO-.
The proposition, which was approx
ed by the council, is that the city will
subscribe for 16 maps a; the regular
price, S25 each, or if less than 1G are
required to complete the subscription
OF GO, the city will purchase as many
as may be required. The publishers
state that the publication of the maps
will not likely prove a very profitable
undertaking, and that the city may
have all of the profit in excess of $3.50
on the project.
The plan is TO distribute these maps
which the city intends to buy, in vari
Gus of the city departments, including
the city clerks office, the police sta
ton, the waterwOrks, and the different
fire department buildings. In this way
they will be placed where the public
generally will have access to them.

LONDON MUSIC HALLS CLOSE
Artists Federation Strikes to Enforce
Demand for Pay for Matinee
Performance.

LONDON. Jan. 2.-The strike of the
music halls artists which affected some Of
the suburban halls last night, today re-
suited in compelling some OF the leading
houses, including the Tivoli, to close their
doors. Among the music hall artists who
declined to appear tonight were Arthur
Roberts. the Princess De BrOglie, Marie
Lloyd and others equally well known.
Some of these even acted as pickets and
were sent out 10 insure the carrying out
of the orderes of the artists federation.
The dispute arises from the attempts of
a new body, entitled 'The National alli-
ance," which represents all sections OF
music hall artists and employees, 10 force
the music hall proprietors to accept the So
called Charter embodying conditions
upon which all artists must be engaged.
The principal grievances are that the
artists should be paid for all matinee per-
formances instead of giving their services
at this time of the day, free as is now the
custom In many cases. and that all dis
putes should be referred 20 arbitration.
The movement is directed partly against
the so-called trust" system ana q combi-
nation of the proprietors.
