some form of amended service pension
legislation. Senate leaders. however,
will proceed slowly in the considera-

Many House Democrats voted for
the measure in the belief that the
Senate would not pass it.
The Sulloway age pension bill, pass

of passage in the Senate at that time

The fight on the bill was waged along

PAL MooRe's STAR BOUT.
PuqiIist Enters Ring Of Matrimony
Monday, at New Work.

New York. Dec. 12.-Pal Moore, pu-
gilist, Monday, figured in his star APP
pearance the ceremonies being attended
to in the city hall. with Alderman De-
laney as referee and timekeeper.
There was no opponent, as was indi-
Gated by the fact that no one respond
cd when Alderman Delaney sang out,
of there is any man or woman who
knows any reason why these two
should not be united. let him speak
now or forever hold his peace" The
other principal was Katherine Mcffl-
Ian. 10 years old, of No. 5O7 Titan
street, Philadelphia.
The fact is Pal has entered the
squared ring of matrimony. A few
minutes before "Time!" was called by
Alderman Delaney the young pair had
signed articles in the office of the city
clerk. Moore gave his correct name
as Pal Franzi. said he Is u years OLD
and lives in No. lis Kenworth street.
He gave his birthplace as Germany
and staggered the City hall fight en-
thusiasts by announcing his occupation
las an instructor.
There was no sparring nor staining
when the ceremony was begun. Only
once did the participants go to ollnch
and that was when the alderman as
sured them they were one. There was
no Knockout. except for any rivals
Moore might have had for the hand of
Miss MeFillan.
In all of his appearances in the
roped arena Moore is accompanied by
a second. who coaches him. This
time he also had a second. Frankie
Burns, another pugilist. but Moore
had explained to him beforehand that
he needn't adhere too closely to the
Queensberry rules.
