round. but he tired toward the last and
his blows lacked steam.
In the first round Kelly jabbed Kurz
many times without a return. He used
both hands to good advantage, but the
local boy in the second, third and last
periods showed class and was declared
a winner.
The other star bout was an exciting
contest between Tommy A~ndreachs, OF
his city, and Young MacKenna, Of
Jersey City. The former had the best
of nearly every round. though his OPP
ponent o~utreached him considerably.
Jim McVeigh and Young Schwartz
fought an interesting four-round draw
in the first semi-windup, while Frank
D%onninger easily beat Young Nelson
in the second semi-final.
in the preliminaries Willie Harrison
defeated Billy Johnson. while Adam
Duane and Kid Savage fought a draw.

Special to The Star.
 Gillham, May Is. Mrs. Weily Writht. Mrs. Gene Heath and six children, while attempting to cross the Cossa tot river Monday ' mig bt in a wagon at Clinto Ford, five miles east of Gillian, were caught by the high water and drowned. It is thought that the accident happened about 8 o'clock. The discovery of the drowning was not made until bout o'clock yesterday morning, when a Mir. Jordan found one of the horses wandering about in the woods with part of his harness still on. After some investigation he found the wagon and the other horse in the river just below the ford. 1t was not definitely known then that the persons had been drown ed. It was found out in the af- ternoon that they had been in the wagon and had not reached home. On account of the high waters none of the bodies had been recovered up to 8 o'clock last night and it is very doubtfnl whether any will be found until tomorrow when the river will have gone down some. Search ing parties from Gillhsm and the surrounding country are working on the river for miles below the ford.

WANTS X NEW PROBE
A RESOLUTION IN CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE THE EXPRESS
 COMPANIES.
INTRODUCED BY CHICAGO MAN
Representative Sabath Wants to Know Just What the Companies Are Do Ing to Head of Parcels Post Leais- IatIon and Other Things.

Washintgon, May 18.-Rep Sabath of Chicago has started movement that will cause the express companies of the country some uneasiness if con gress will back him up in 1t. He in troduced resolution for joint house and senate investigation of those con- cerns, which resolution calls specific ally fo rthe information that the com psnies have heretofore been most re- luctant to give.
 The Sabath resolution sets forth specifically the information desired and the purpose is apparently two fold first to find out the exact relationship between the railroads and the com panies, and second, to learn how far the companies are competing with the government in carrying newspapers, periodicals and packages.
 Underlying 1t is the purpose of learn ing. If possible, just what the com panies are doing to head off parcels post legislation. Indeed the resolu- tien calls for a finding as to whether or not the companies are maintaining a lobby-it is called press bureau for the purpose of defeating the par. cels post bill.
 The resolution calls for an investi- gating committee of six. three mem- bers of the senate and three from the house. MT. Sabath says that he has been promised support to get his in- vestigation committee appointed but still he is not certain of it. The com panies will make hard fight against 1t, especially against revealing their relations with the railroad companies or of making known their Investments and their membership certificates.
