After Most Successful
Western Trip

Democrats of Boyle Heights held a
rousing mass meeting last night--one
OF the old time whoop-er-up kind, with
cheering, singing and enthusiasm.
The meeting was held at Fourth and
Gless streets. Joseph Simons had fur
nished a big decorated wagon and team
for the occasion, chairs and table be-
ing set on the vehicle for the speakers.
A male quartet was also attached
and the way these four sang threw
everybody into good humor.
About 300 or 400 persons listened to
the oratory. many women and children
also being attracted to the scene.
Attorney George W. Crouch presided
and made an effective talk to the peo-
pie.
Joseph Simons was also called for
and he made a practical talk on the
necessity of every voter going to the
polls, taking another voter with him
and seeing that good Democratic liter
allure was freely circulated.
Judge r. M. Lusk also spoke, paying
particular attention to the bank de-
posit guarantee plank of the Demo-
Gratis. This will insure permanent and
stable confidence in all banks, as the
government will be behind the depos-
itors. He also called attention to the
planks calling for electing senators by
direct vote, publicity in campaign con-
tributions and the income tax.
Next Thursday night similar meet
ing win be held at First and Boyle.

Braun, Who Retires Because of
His Private Business
Affairs

A. C. Harper on Saturday, since which
two holidays have interviewed, giving
the mayor opportunity to select a sue
cessoF without too much intrusion ana
lobbying by friends of possible APP
pointees. 1t was the mayors wish that
the resignation be kept unpublished
for a day or two.
Mr.. Cars appointment was con-
firmed by the city council yesterday.
Mr.. Braun has explained that his
own business demanded much of his
attention, and as he felt that he could
not slight the important work of the
harbor. he asked to be relieved.
The new commissioner represents the
mercantile and shipping interests on
the board as distinguished from the
manufacturing interests represented by
George H. Stewart.
Through his long and successful bust
ness career in Southern California Mr..
Carr has won wide circle of friends,
added to by his fraternal work and his
activity as chairman of the building
committee of the Young Mems Chris
tan association. On the shoulders OF
this committee largely fell the work OF
financing and erecting the fine new
home just opened by the organization

mayor honors the business commune
ty," said Secretary A. p. Fleming Of
the harbor commission last night.
"Mr. Carr has the confidence of the

to delve deep into the complicated har
bor situation"

PAPKE DRAWS COLOR LINE AS
CHAMPION
Manager Jones Says He Has Received
Offer of $4,000 for Twenty Weeks
In Observation-Disclosures
King Buys Diamond

It is quite possible that dusky
the news of the defeat Of Stanley
Ketchel with much greater pleasure
and anticipation regarding the future
for himself than did the average
fighter, as Ketchel had drawn the color
line and thereby put up the bars that
shut out dark competition for the mid
dleweight championship, but If he
builded any hopes of ever becoming
the champion by reason of this defeat
of the former champion, 1t is up to him
to put these hopes in the discard. Billy
rapke, successor to the title held by
Ketchel, also draws the color line.
1t was intinnated several days ago by
Manager T. u. Jones that Papke would
draw the color line in the event he de-
feated Ketchel, but the easy and most
decisive victory of the Kewanee boy
over the Montana mankiller was ex-
pected to puff up Papke so he would
not bar anybody, white or black. How
ever, he refuses to become so pulled
up that he will let down the bars
erected by Ketchel, and Manager Jones
made the declaration yesterday that
no negro, Langford or any other black
fighter would get a whack at the title
while Papke holds it. He said:
'Just write 1t down in big black let
ters that Langford and all the other
black middleweights will waste their
time trying to get fight out OF Papke.

No negroes need apply. Papke draws
the color line not because he is afraid.
but because he will not fight a negro.
He will not even train with them. I
do not believe the sporting public wants
to see a negro champion, and know
that white champion can gain moth
ing by beating a black fighter, while
If the black one whips him he is a dead
one for life None of the black game
for Papke."
Papke May Go on Stage
1t is probable that Papke will go on
the stage and this may interfere
with his engagement with the Jeffries
Athletic club to meet Hugo Kelly here
October il. Jones says that he has re-
ceived numerous telegraphic offers in
the last twenty-four hours and one of
them offers Papke $4,000 for twenty
week engagement. Jones figures that
this is a greater sum than Papke can
make fighting In the same length of
time, and says he will accept the
offer.
However, when they boarded the
train for San Francisco last evening,
both said they would return to Los
Angeles either Friday morning or
night and will pass several days hunt
ing deer with a party that Jeffries is
organizing. Both are in love with the
southland and it's people and are re-
luctant to talk of leaving. They went
to San Francisco to attend the Nelson
Cans fight today and not to seek
matches.
Papke Buys Diamond

$1,000 of his earnings Labor day in a

and considers them good investments.
He also is an excellent judge of a dia-
mond and the one he bought is a
beauty.
Papke says that Ketchel is a great
fighter and can whip all the other mid
dleweights. excepting himself alone.
He said that he never had the slight
est doubt as to his ability to whip
Ketchel, however, having formed that
opinion as a result of their previous
battle when Ketchel could not finish
him after putting him down for nine

Ketchel gave him at Milwaukee.
Discussing that wallop, Papke says
that as he reached out his hand to

shook hands for the final round that
