Sharps defense, as outlined by his

Sharp during the afternoon was

the room with friendly words for all.
During the trial Sharp once arose
and said

FILLS NEED WHICH HAS ENISr-
ED IN CAMP IN ABSENCE OF
BUILDING AND LOAN FACIL-
ITIES-BETTER THAN THAT.

Proposal OF the Ely Securities Co.
to build houses ON the installment
plan in East Ely. together with offer
of 30 per cent reduction on the price
of all lots, is creating much comment
The general trend of the latter is to
the effect that the move has sup
piled very decided need in the dis
trict.
In the absence of building and loan
association accommodations such as
are available i'm large cities but not
practical locally. there have been
insurmountable difficulties in the way
of the wage Garner who desired TO
build home and establish per-
manent residence. unless he had n
considerable sum of money ready TO
his hand and which he could afford
to tie up. Few have been so fixed
during the last few years of hard
times
In consequence. building has been
held back to very great extent. the
number of homes put up by wage
earners in the district having been
comparatively few. Under the offer
which the Ely Securities Co. now
makes. the wage Garner can COM
mence the construction of home
with less money in hand than the
average building and loan association
would require and the road is opened
for practically every man on the pay
rool to acquire his own home.
While the building and loan as
sociation has unquestionably ac-
complished great deal in building
up many cities. 1t is plan that
nevertheless has numerous draw
backs. Principal among these is the
necessity that prevails and which Is
always carried out of closing accounts
whenever the member falls behind
in his dues. 1t is upon the forfei-
lures thus occurring that the associa-
tion is made a paying proposition in
too many cases. With such enter
prises as that advanced by the Ely
Securities Co. there are very seldom

THE WINNER
COLORED HEAVYWEIGHT ENDS
SCHEDULED TWENTY ROUND
BOUT IN SHORT ORDER
ENGLISH CHAMPION NO MATCH

LONDON, May 25.=Sam Langford
the colored heavyweight of Boston,
knocked out Ian Hague, the heavy
weight champion of England. in the
fourth round at the National Sptro-
ing club here tonight. The fight,
which was for purse of $4,000 and
the championship, was scheduled to
go twenty rounds.
The ring generalship he had pick
ed mp in many battles enabled Lang
ford to score comparatively easy
victory over Hague and the fourth
round had been barely commenced
when The burly Yorkshire man was
floored by a well directed blow and
counted out.
Langford was at a disadvantage
as to weight, height and reach, but
his superior knowledge as to ring
tatics and his quiekness overcame
this and what was expected to be
long contest proved to be very brief.
In the first round Hague was slow
TO start. Langford had shade the
better until the end of the round,
when Hague reached him with hook
to the jaw This seemed to en-
courage the Britisher and although
no damage was done in the second
round he showed more cleyerness
than the colored man.
Langford opened the third round
with hard left to the face and he
used this blow effectively several
times before the gong sounded.
Hague, however, closed the Ameri-
cans eye with hard right swing.
The men came together in fast
miXup at the opening of the fourth
and Langford put a terrible right on
the Yorkshire mans chin. which end
ed the contest.
A record crowd saw the fighting
and the American was awarded con-
siderable applause. There was some
dispute over the bandages on Hague's
hands. but Langford's objections
We're speedily overcome.

the arrival here of Labor Commits

Uucompromising ultimatums from

controversy and TO the possible out
come of attempting to- force trains 20

magnify the gravity of the problem
very decidedly.
Governor Smith has placed troops
In readiness for call TO put down any
disturbance that may occur and 1t is
said that he is determined that the
law shall he maintained and the rail-
road enabled to peaeeably operate its
trains if every man in the state has
to be sworn in and armed to bring
the result.
Sheriffs throughout the state have
received personal communications
from the governor along the above
line and have been left in no doubt
as to their sworn duty in the
premises regardless of personal SYM
pathies which they may entertain
So far the railroad men have main
tanned good order and have mostly
refrained from participating in the
public demonstrations which have
been made by their smypthizers. The
leaders of the strike assert that
this attitude will be continued or
their part and that they want no
violence or any damage to prop
erty to result from he steps they
have taken.
The danger that the strike If pro
longed may spread To other railroads
became serious today. when Vice
President Ball of the firemens organ

railroads freight business to other
roads will cause the firemen to vote
on whether they would accept
