Fake STORY" Put Carl Morris in Bad
= Friends Are Very Much Peeved

- Fort Smith Arn., April 15.Icarl
Morris, who his friends believe to. be
the most modest fighter that ever
stepped through the ropes. is being
made the victim Of unkind sport writ
ers. An announcement was made by
him several months ago that he desir-
ed to take a vacation. His trainers

months and they feared he would go

j. The New York newspaper men then
started the story that he would prob,
ably. never return TO the ring. When
he reached Oklahoma and went. to
his old home at Sapulpa. he took a
run on an engine merely for the pur-
pose of holding his priority in the
event. that he should. decide to take
up. the throttle as a profession again.
Morris said that even IL he should
upon. retiring. resume his place as an
engineer simply for the love Of the
work.

Overturned in Stewart Bout.
Morris stated in his letter that his
showing against Stewart was due to
his being overturned and at q. weight
thought that he was entitled to a
draw. but as the referee thought 9TH
erwise he would make no public kick.
After a few weeks rest Morris will
return to his training stunt again and
soon will be ready to make a number
of matches. He is now negotiating
for fights at his place and at Pitts
burg. He looks with favor on a match
with Con Comisky at the Smoky City.
It is not known who the local pro-
moter has in mind for Morris. The
grand jury is in session and the pro-
moters r doing little talking. 1t is
believed, however, hat a third bout

Plan
NE v YEARS
CARNIVAL

Planning to transfer Honolulu's an
nual winter night carnival from
Christmas Eve to New Years eve,
the Merchants Association Saturday
afternoon held a meeting and decided
to promote real carnival on the lat.
ter date. With the help of the pub
lie, it is hoped to shift the celebration
so that the big rush of Christmas Eve
business will not be interfered with
as it has been in the past and to
make the New Years Eve affair a
large welcome to the incoming year
and farewell to the outgoing.
Julius Unger, committee Of one to
arrange the details of the plan, is
already busy and he announced this
morning that the merchants will give
band concert at Bishop Park, OPP
posite the Young Hotel, from eight
o'clock until midnight. The band
stand will be electrically illuminated.
All the stores will be Illuminated, with
shop windows brightly lit up.
Plans are also no foot for big
Japanese and Chinese parade. 1t will
be Chinatown's first celebration of
New Years on the date observed by
the rest of the civilized world. The
plans are for a big parade Of illumi-
mated floats and plenty of fireworks
along the line.
The cafes, it. is announced, will
operate on the mainland plan, tables
being reserved for the occasion, and
several will put on cabaret shows, =
which means that they will have en-
tertaiflers and vaudeville acts.
The merchants are preparing to
carry announcements of the celebra-
ton in their holiday advertising, and
are making a strong effort to get the
carnival postponed FROM Christmas
Eve to leave the night before Christ
mas with nothing to interfere with
holiday shoppers. ...,.es.
1t is also proposed that no mer-
chant sell confetti or "serpentine"
until after Christmas Eve, SO that
much of the roughness of the Christ
mas Eve celebration will be effectu-
ally prevented. :
