SEND FOR F|Tz
AND WALKER

Corporation Counsel Rhodes
stated in police court this after
noon that he would issue a bench
warrant for Bob Fitzsimmons and
e. Clark Walker. The latter is
manager of the Pantages theater.
Both failed to appear this after
noon to answer charge of disor-
derby conduct growing out of an
attack Fitzsimmons made on
Walker at the theater late Satur-
day afternoon.
Fitzsimmons pretended to be
sore over what The Press has had
to say of his pugilistic aspirations
and asserted that Walker was re-
sponsible for the publication. Ac.
cording to witnesses OF the affair
he knocked Walker down and then
struck him before he got up. Walk
err landed on Fits bald head with
his babys nursing bottle, that hap
pened to be handy, cutting cash
that had to be patched up. FitZ is
also charged with picking up Is
pound weight with the evident in
tention of also rising that on Walk
er. He claims that Walker struck
him first. however. Walker had
intimated that Fitz lied in assert.
ing that Walker was responsible
for the articles.
In denying responsibility for
what appeared in The Press Mr.
Walker is entirely right. He had
nothing to do with it and all he
ever said to The Press about Fitz
was entirely complimentary. He
even tried to make The Press be-
lieve that Bob Is great actor. In
the line of legitimate criticism
doubt was cast on Fits future pos
sibilities as a pugilist, an opinion
he will find is held by all the
sporting writer's of the country

ten with a baby's bottle Is about

been made previous to proposal OF
the ordinance putting Independent
scavengers out of business. Mer'
rift charges that the independent
scavengers have gone among their
friends with the petition for the
purpose of unduly influencing the
city council in an endeavor to have
it defeat the ordinance.
Mayor Moore stated this morn
ing that he hal never heard any
complaints. He will make no rec.
ommendation to the city council
and will not order an investigation,
but will ask Supt. Merritt to file
written reply to the allegations.
The reasons for the ordinance
proposing to put the independents
out of business are the very ones
which are contained in the allega'
lions against the department.
The department recently refused
the independents permits to haul
garbage and the court refused to
recognize the authority of the de-
partment to refuse permits with
out an ordinance granting 1t the
