Miss Belle Squire, organizer of the

of patriots. Only the weak. the cow

to an invasion of their rights. And if
taxation without representation be
tyranny where men are concerned, it
is doubly tyranny where women are
concerned, for in the nature of things
women can not defend their sacred

nor avenge their wrongs as their
brothers can

this city, who was Knocked out and his

juries at st. Mary's hospital early to-
day. For over an hour the boy was
under the knife in the operating room
of the hospital, in an effort to save his
life. He died without regaining con-
seriousness.
McCarthy's skull was fractured at
the base of the brain from the impact
with the mat after Moran had sent
him to the floor with a heavy over
hand swing to the jaw.
Owen Moran and hts seconds, jeff
Perry and Jimmy Carroll, and Nc

Johnny, who acted as his seconds, with
Bernard Treanor, were all placed un-
der arrest.
1t is said Mccarthy had gone stale in
training and that he was in poor shape
to meet the Rritisher.
What effect this ring fatality will
have on the coming Jeffries and John
son fight is causing speculation among
fight fans today.
Tex Richard, one of the promoters,
does not think it will have any effect.
Neither Jeffries nor johnson, he de-
clares, is likely to seriously hurt the
other.
