Marked barometric depression will ap-
pear at the beginning, or as early s
the 18th, attended by growing warmth,
and during Saturday, the goth. to
Tuesday, the 23rd. general and de-
cided storms of rain wind and thunder

will fall decidedly on entering this

sleet and snow will visit. in some form

This is a time when the sleet god will

reasonable certainty that disagreeble

as we pass from Februry into March.
Almost certainly. during the last half
of the month. at one of the storm per-

will reach the south coast regions in
the form of West India hurricanes. The
barometer will herald their coming.
February ice gorges and consequent
foods should be matters of watchful-
ness and caution in all localities liable
to sudden thaws and drifting ice flows.

LOOK WHAT Mr.. HICKS
HAS TO SAY ABOUT It
Weather Prophet Predicts Month of Violent Changes
For February and 1t Certainly Is Heap
Of Nasty Weather.

1t is a great bunch of weather that
Professor Ire Hicks. the weather
tragedian, has called for February.
He says:
"A regular storm period covers the
first five days in February, which is
central on the srd. BY the srd cloudi-
ness and storm areas will be organized.
and during the srd to 9Th, rain. snow
and wind will prevail generally. pass

connection with full moon on and
touching the 5th. Cold. fair weather
will advance eastward in the imme-
diate near of these progressive storms.

idity most parts of the country by the
7th to sth. We believe that earth
quakes and general seismic shivers
will grow less frequent as we pass
through the interim between Jupiter

phenomena will continue in regular
cycles.
reactionary storm period is cen

time look for marked reaction TO

ing barometer will follow, bringing
cloudiness and rain, with possibly
electrical storm southwark, on and

A regular storm period extends from
the 18th to 18th, being central on the

FIRST FALL ON A FOUL
Mahmout the Turk Awarded
the Verdict.

Raouel de Rouen, the French wrest-
ler mixed things up too f1ercely with
Mahmout, the Turk, in their first bout
at the Seventh Regiment armory last
night and Referee Dick Fleming gave
the Turk the first fall on a foul.
Mahmout took the second fall and
the match in 20:54, with scissors and
deadlock. Just before the fall. Rouen
rolled off the mat and on to the floor
outside the ring. He re-entered the
ring weakened and was easy for the
Turk.
De Rouen tried to make roughhouse
out of the first bout and succeeded in a
manner highly satisfactory and pleas
ing to the spectators. who didn't mind
seeing the Turk stop a few backhand
wallops with his face. However, when
the Frenchman got to mussing things
up too sincerely there was nothing for
the referee to do but give the first fall
to the Turk.
Kid Cutler and William Demetral
were quite savage in their battle, too
and each one had one fall to his credit
at midnight.

COAST SOLONS HEAR
BILL TO KILL BOXING
Drastic Measure Introduced
in California Legislature
by Senator Willis.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 1.-The Amer
lean home of boxing is in grave dang
er. A drastic anti-fght bill was in
troduced in the legislature this morn
ing by Senator Willis. 1t not only
makes all fistic events, with or without
gloves, felony, but training for
fight, the issuing of challenges or the
handling of challenges as well. Such
drastic measure caused great sur
prise. An anti-boxing bill was expect
ed, but none dreamed of one so far
reaching.
Senator Willis proposes to league
with the anti-raoing element and get it
to join, with him in the fight on box
ing, and vice versa. The men who
make their living out of the boxing
game are up in arms and will make a
desperate effort to defeat the Willis
bill.
The proposed law reads as follows:
ANY person who, in this state, en-
cages In. instigates, promotes, aids,
encourages or does any act to further a
contention or fight, without weapons,
between two or more persons. or a
| a fight commonly styled a ring or
prize fight, with or without gloves, at
which an admission fee is charged or
received. either directly or indirectly,
or who sends or publishes a challenge
to be delivered, communicated, or ac-
cepts for delivery such challenge or
acceptance, or trains or assists any
person In training or preparing for
such a contention or fight, shall be
guilty of a felony"
/ Willis Is recognized as an organiza-
ton man. and he takes this as his
text when he declares that the per
formers" will now become "reformers
and set the pace.
Willis says that he has enough votes
in sight to carry his measure.
