ganized at Jackson, Tenn, for the
manufacture of new patent lock
nut, was in the city yesterday look

explaining his proposition to the In

the company would be organized with

wanted to place $4,000 at the point
where they located their factory. AS
Hickmanites are not very keen on
stock subscriptions, the locating of
the nut factory here was practically

The action OF the New York boxing
commission in suspending Abe Atter
for alleged "staIling' in his bout with
Knockout Brown recently, has awak-
ened our English cousins and now they
are taking the matter up with the re-
suit that a similar commission may be
appointed before the end is reached.
The following letter anent the matter
has just been received from a well
known critic OF London: The cab1ed
news of Abe AttelTs suspension by the
New York boxing commission IS the
main topic this week in pugilistic cir
cles here. Until details arrive the news
paper critics will not do more than
skirt the edge OF the business. but our

committee, after carefully considering
the matter, declined to interfere in any
boxing bouts outside Of their own
building and the scheme so far as
this country was concerned was
dropped
The New York state commission was
no doubt suggested by the information
al scheme. and that body has unQues-
tionably justified its existence II
only the scheme could be put in opera
ton IN all states where boxing is per
mitted, some tangible good might come
of il, but as things are now, Atteu has
only to go west to get bouts with ease
And who can possibly stop him2 Not
the New York commission, for their Ju-
risdiction stops at the state border lines
and the same situation would occur
here unless the police took complete
control Of the sport Their power would
extend to all parts OF England and a
suspended boxer would be compelled
to bow to their rulings or go abroad
in search Of bouts"
