tober 2. James White. the promoter
of the exhibition. has replied to the
letter of the Rev. f. b. Meyer, who is
leading the agitation against the bout
and who offered to pay whatever pre-
liminary expenses the manager woulo
be out of pocket if the fight was de-
clared off. The efforts were unsuc-
cessful as the Rev. Mr.. Meyer refused
to accept the promoters proposed
compromise
Mr.. White says he is unable to ac-
cent the Rev. Mr.. Meyers offer, as th'
breach of contract would involve loss
of $40. 600. He therefore makes these
offers:
First-That the contest shall be
conducted under the present rules OF
boxing.
second-That three Judges of the
highest integrity shall see that 1t Is
conducted under the highest tradl'
lions OF boxing.
Third-That the films of the hgh
shall be privately inspected by com
nittee of ~. six of whom shall be ap'
pointed by the Rev. Mr.. Meyer and si'
by a London newspaper. with th'
chairman barrister Of at least II
years standing.
This committee shall decide whethe
or not the films shall be destroyed IL
the event that they are DESTROYED
Messrs. Barker, who have paid S2o'Vo'
for the film rights, will be reimbursed
from a fund TO which Mr.. White per
sonally offers to contribute $4,000.

the late opening OF the partridge sea-
son and the rule relative To hunting
with dogs. Many claim that the law
was made TO suit the hunters from the
lower part OF the state who flock by
the hundreds to the good hunting
grounds in this section Many people,
who have been i'm the habit OF hunting
birds, state that they will not go this
year because they are afraid of being
shot by some hunter who is looking
for deer. Those who value their lives
will not walk along the old wood roads
IN search of a wing shot for the rea-
son that some fellow who will shoot
at noise is stationed on "A hill near
by with a high powered rifle.
IN our opinion the legislature made
a bad move when they set the deer
and partridge season for the same
time. We do not think there will be
more deer shot but if the weather is
warm during the last two weeks Of

CANVASS OF VOTES TODAY
SHOWS ABOVE RESULT
MANY VOTES ARE ILLEG-
AL AND THROWN OUT.

out of n total Of 191 votes cast at
the special election held i'm Laurium
Saturday 10 decide the fate of the
proposal to bond the villages for to-
tai of $3.50 thirty-flve votes on the
funding and forty-nine votes on the
water bonds were thrown out today
when the votes were canvassed by the
members of the council and the village
attorney, as Illegal. Because of the
presence OF so many uncertain votes,
IL was impossible TO determine accur-
ately until this afternoon. that both
bond issues mad received the sanction
of the voters, as a three-fifths vote
was required to pass either. Had the
votes been counted i'm the Affirmative
as the majority of the Illegal votes
seemed to indicate the voter had de-
sired. the majority would have been
much larger, but In order to be on the
safe side, it was decided to throw out
the ballots which were not correct
with the above result.
While the vote was much smaller
than the village officials had hoped, il
shoys that sentiment was largely In
favor of the bond issues and Is fairly
gratifying to those who had advocated
the issuance of bonds.
A special meeting of the council
will be held on Tuesday evening tC
ratify the election and il is expected
resolutions will be passed providing
for the issuing of the bonds and tht
sale of the same 1t is likely that res
idents of the village will be given al
opportunity to purchase the bonds.

Trained Seals Want
to See the Land Show

Charley Alaska, one OF Captain Tiebor's
trained seals which are entertaining the
crowds at the Coliseum this week, has
fallen under the spell Of the great Land
show and sometimes when his desire to
celebrate with the throngs Of people is
promptly quelled by the captain he be-
comes unruly ana threatens the trainer
with dire things.
Tuesday the continual hum OF CONVEX
sation and the eeaseless beat OF tramplinR
feet was too much for Charley. He kept
his eye on the trainer until he saw him
safely lost In the crowd about the Salem
panorama and then, with a flip OF his
tail, he silently bounded over the edge
of his tank and, with a few awkward
jumps, cleared the enclosure about the
space and began making friends with a
small boy who was badly frightened at
his approach.
Bud Brutus, who is loyal and not al
ways Of an optimistic inclination, was
ill-pleased with his brother seals be-
havior and, with a great and angry grunt,
leaped out OF the tank and went after
him, He succeeded in surprising Charley
and was chastising him properly, but the
punishment was accompanied by too
much noise and the captain entered the
field of war.
With a broom he beat the two rebels
and drove them back into their tank, al
though they fought back bravely, Char
ley taking the opportunity to prove that
he was not coward even IL Bud had
licked him. After the retreat had been
effected with some damage TO the broom
the captain forgot the incident and re-
turned to Salem. Bud was thoroughly
riled and, after he had peeped over the
edge OF the tank and made sure his mas
ter had gone. he renewed the conflict
with Charley. But It was abruptly ended.
a janitor was sweeping the space and
the whish OF his broom was heard by
Bud. Without investigation he gave up
the fight and with a whine began a great
splashing in the water as II enjoying a
wild, free submarine voyage.
