POSTAL POSITION AS
TO DEFERRED SERVICE
Statement Is Issued by President
Mackay Relative to an limo
Walton.

Manager H. e Huntington Of the
Postal Telegraph company this morn
ing gave out the following statement
from President Clarence Mackay fol-
publication:
"The Postal Telegraph-Cable com
pany gives such a fast day service that
there is no occasion for any deferred
service. Besides which, we are not a
deferred company; we rush our trafic
through to its destination within few
minutes from the time 1t is handed
70 US.
I'VE do not believe that the public
has any use for deferred day service
because the present day service and
night letter-gram service seem to be
amply sufficient, and we do not think
there Is any demand for an intermedi
ate service, which would be no differ
emit from the night letter-gram service
in its practical workings with defer
red day service, and would get mixed
with our negular day service and would
hamper and delay 1t.
Fast service is what the people
want, not a deferred or slow service.

A sparkIet from the Source Divine!

Embodied IN this little form;

The fairest earth has ever seen
The diadem of motherhood
'TIs Natures hand that crowns me

What realms are opened to my sight;

And all because this little form
Lies fair and helpless on my breast

Oh! motherhood. you hold a bliss

When a boy of any sort of family
lamps into the professional fighting
game there is a wall from one or both
OF his parents which can be heard
Tor miles around. Many fighter has
quit the game because mother or
Gather kicked, but the father of
Johnny Coulon, the bantamweight
champion, not only permits the gen.
R1emanly little chap to battle, but
makes his matches, and acts as his
chief second, says writer in the
Memphis Commercial Appeal
In fact, Papa Coulon is the whole
works when it comes to the business
end of the matchmaking and fighting.
Johnny is just twenty-one, but arriv-
ing at his majority hasn't given him
the self-suficiency to try to run his
own affairs. Better see the old man"
is Johnny's answer when Johnny is
approached regarding terms for a
match.
Papa Coulon is mighty proud of the
gentlemanly Johnny, and when he
passed through Memphis last winter

feet that his boy was the greatest

Neil of San Francisco, who guided
the dest1nies of his son, frankie. Nell
pere was a turfman, but he loved
fighting so we'll that when frankie
turned professional he left his horses
in other hands and proceeded to be
manager, adviser, chief second and
press agent for his kid. He saved
frankie, too, in his first professional
fight. AS amateurs there was most
lovely rivalry between Eddie Hanlon
and frankie Neil. They met twice
in amateur Journeys, and, although
Hanlon obtained decisions both times,
he refused to admit that Hanlon could
lick him. Under the pressure Of back
and-forth talk factions formed for each
and the wrangle finally resulted in
frankie and Eddie being matched for
fifteen rounds in Oakland. Both were
about eighteen years old at the time
of the bout and both were out to muir
der the other fellow If he could. The
Hanlon gang challenged the Neil ad-
herents to few fights al fresco, while
the Neil supporters kicked few well
placed kicks into the countenances of
the Hanlon tribe.
1t was one of the greatest fights
ever seen on the coast.
