DUNDEE BESTS KILBANE
Champion Fails to Outshine Opponent
in Ten Rounds.

New York. Sept 5.-Johnny Dundee
gave the fans the surprise of the year
when he outfought Champion Johnny
Kilbane every step of the way in ten
round bout at the ST. Nicholas A. Z. to-
night. Dundee had the champion dlzzy
trying to find him. He used a straight
left to the nose that soon had the title
holder bleary eyed.
Kilbane was the most surprised man
in the house He was forced to laugh
with the crowd when he failed to land
well meant rights for Dundee's Jaw
Dundee simply boxed rings around the
champion and so poor was Kilbane's
work against him that the old timers ct
the ringside goaded Kilbane with yells
of You're a fine champion! k1lbane
only grinned but by the time seven or
eight rounds had been tolled off, he
realized that he had to knock Dundee
Geld to win That he failed to 90 with
an overwhelming lead. Dundee simply
held the champion off in the last two
rounds.
1t was a speedy fight. Seldom have
two feathers Travelled over the same
distance at a faster pace. Abe Attell,
still sour on the man who got close
decision over him for his title, yelled
advice to Little Dundee as the Italian
piled UP the count against the daddy
OF the 122 pound realm. Both finished
with a rush and evidently were fit to go
on to finish.
On their showing tonight Dundee can
outslug and out point Kilbane every
night in the week.

A DECISION SATURDAY
Judge Dana VIII Dispose of School
Board Tax Levy Then.

A decision in the mandamus acton
brought by the Topeka board of education
against County Clerk Zimmerman TO
compel the extension of the tax levy Ger
titled, probably will be handed down py
Judge A w Dana next Saturday, accord
ing to statements made this morning.
The clerk is very anxious for decision
inasnluch as he is already behind with
mis- work of extending the levies for the
current year.
The tax rolls have been completed ami
all the special taxes have been extended
There remains the general tax for extern
sion. None Of the general tax, however,
for either the city of Topeka or the coun-
ty can be extended until the case is set
tied. the final amount of the county lew
depending upon the school levy in the
city. 1t is regarded likely that the coun-
ty levy will be 2.5 mills, instead of 2.52,
that levy fitting in with the levies of the
township boards and also with the board
of education levy if it is increased as tie
clerk asks that it be. The total levy for
Topeka, in any event, will be II mills, or
$1.70 on the valuation of 500.
In case the writ of mandamuS applied
for is denied it is regarded as necessary
that the court make an order authorizing
the board of education to make the IN
crease demanded. The time for making
levy has passed, and if the court holds the
prestn levy illegal the board. without au-
thority from the court, would not be able
10 make a new levy. This phase of the
situation admittedly complexities the pres
ent difficulty.

IMPARTING FRAGRANCE TO TEA
tho Chinese TO Give Beverage
tho Desired Aroma.

1t Is estimated that the Chinese con-
sumo annually five pounds Of tea for
each member of the population. It
grows in small patches around tine
homesteads, plantations being prac-
tically unknown. The leaves are pick
ed by members Of the family and
dried In the sun, being subsequently
handed over to the middlemen, who
subject them to the process OF firing.
In the case of green tea the leaves
are roasted almost Immediately after
they are gathered, and dried off quick
1y after being rolled into balls by hand
and squeezed. There are usually
three pickings-early In April, when
the leaves are covered with a whitish
down "a limited output known as Pc
koe); toward the middle of May and
again In August. Brick tea Is made
by pressing the damp tea in a mold
In the form of a brick, s to IL inches
long and about one inch thick. The
fragrance of all scented tea is not
natural, but impaired by firing the
leaf with a sort Of jasmine flower,
called by the Chinese "mok-lee." In
inferior teas the seeming flower is
strewn over the top Of the tea when
packed and removed after a day or
two. Flowery pekoes are white, vel
vety tipped teas with DO fragrance
and are unfermented.

EASY TO DEAL WITH Y0KES
Are Sure to Shrink, but tho Remedy
May BE Quickly Found and
as Quickly Applied.

Few of us have escaped the horror OF
finding, after u summer frocks or
guimpes have been returned from the
laundry for the first time, that the
yoke has shrunk and the collar Is
entirely too tight for comfort. 1t Is
the experience of almost every wom-
an before the season Of thin, cool
trocks Is over, and n that few
know how to remedy.
Should the yoke Of your frock re-
duire to be enlarged, add the width
at the center Of the back and the
shape of the yoke will not be spoiled.
This can be done either by letting
out the hem In the back and facing
the raw edges or by inserting a mar
row lace insertion on the inside OF
the hem each side of the opening.
The fact that almost every lace
or embroidery yoke opens In the back
make this a simple task, and as a
yoke rarely requires more than an
inch Of additional width, simpl1f1es
the matter greatly.
Don't despair II you are confront
ed with a too tight yoke; make it
comfortably large in this m, 2ner.

EASY TO "SAVE THE WASH"
Crepe Underwear, Recently Intro
dueed, lie Effective for Economy
In a Number Of Ways.

Save the wash this week." often
remarks the busy housewife and
mother, and as the summer advances
her remarks will continue. "Myl
What an enormous wash we have
this week." or I'VE must try to be a
little more economical with our
wash" Perhaps she will bemoan the
fact that she will have to get in a
Iaundress, or If she has, have her
come an extra day. If she does the
wash herself, her poor, tired limbs
and aching back remind her on Mon
day nights that summer Is here and
the family are not Saving the wash"
1t is not very easy when the really
aot weather sets in, to be economi-
cal and sparing with our supply OF
clean clothes, and it Is often quite
a problem to solve how we a keep
fresh and clean, and yet keep within
the bounds of our wash money"
The new crepe underwear INT as
a boon at this season of the year,
as 1t Is nothing whatsoever to laun"
der-simply washed out-no starch Is
necessary-aud what is best OF all,
no ironing required. Night gowns.
p%etticoats and combinations of all va.
rieties are in the shops, and ranging
In price from the plainest and very
to the deliberately
trimmed and most expensive. Say
Ing the wash becomes somewhat
Bimpli1ed when we make use OF

May Appear Small, but in tho Course
Of Time Will Be Found to
Amount to Much.

Roast turkey left from dinner
makes delicious salad, mixed with eel
cry seasoned with capers and dressed
with m~ayonnaise. The usual direc-
lions call for equal parts OF meat and
celery, but there is no hard and fast
rule. The amount of the meat on
hand and the taste of the family are
strong considerations.

FIREMAN SOCIALIST
APPEALS TO COURT
CFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, September 13:-Richard
Blochschmidt, of North Bergen town
ship, Hudson county, who charges
that he was dismissed from the Pho
neer Volunteer Fire Company be-
cause he was a Socialist, has OBJ
tanned from the supreme court an or
der permitting the taking of depo-
sitions in the suit which he has start
ed to set aside.
At the time of the firemen's pa
rade in North Bergen May Is, last,
Blochschmidt hung out a small red
silken flag, the emblem of socialism,
upon the front of his house as a part
of the decorations for the occasion.
1t was charged hat he placed the so
cialistic emblem above the stars and
stripes, and he was dismissed on the
ground that he was not a true citi-
zen. He denies that the red flag was
more prominent than the American
%colors, and contends that five or six
American flags hung above the red
one.
