Blind Tiger Flushed.

A blind tiger, operated by Maggie lshmael in the sawmill district in the western part of the city, was flushed Tuesday by Deputy Sheriffs John Tankersley, Will NOlen and Henry Jordan. Maggie was nabbed through couriers who had visited her place and purchased beer and booze. and who had been kept under such close sur. yeillance by the officers that they were caught Iedhanded with the goods on them.
 When Maggie's shack was entered by the deputies, armed with search warrant, the negress fled through a window, but was pursued and found hiding in ditch near by. The whis- key and beer - Old Dominick and Goldcrest-were secreted in the walls of the shack. Two or three dozen bottles of beer and about forty or fifty bottles of whiskey were con. hscated by the officers. and Maggie was locked up pending preliminary trial, which will be held "Wednesday morning before Squire R. $.

DANIELS ASKS ARMOR
COMPANIES TO TELL OF
COST OF PRODUCTION

I'VE have just begun the fight" said
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels, in refer
ring to his attempt 10 compel the three
armor-making mills ir the United States
to furnish steel to the Government at
prices resting on competitive instead
OF a monopolistic basis.
Already, Secretary Daniels said, he has
effected a saving OF s509.467 on purchases
OF steel for battleships by his insistence
on fair prices. Savings We're effected on
an order Of structural steel plates by in
vitinE a hid from a company which has
not attempted heretofore to compete with
the Midvale. Carnegie, and Bethlehem
Steel Companies. As a result, the Car
bon Steel Company was awarded the
contract for $500 tons of this material
at n saving of S37S. Isl on the order. their
prices being 81 per cent lower than pre-
vioUs prices obtained by the three old
companies. Savings of $1,000 were ef-
fcCted on other material On the contract
for furnishing the steel turbine castings
for battleship No. So the Secretary er-
fected another saving of $lG2.O 900 by ac-
Cepting the bid of the Cammell Laird
Co. Of Sheffield, England
"On the heaviest grade of armor," said
Mr.. Daniels, the situation it still unsat-
isfactory. NY solution is the establish
ment of government plant. I now have
DeIoTe me the absolutely Identical bids
OF the Midvale. Bethlehem, and Carnegie
Companies. at the same old high prices.
l have refused to accept them, however,
unless the companies lay before me fig
ures as TO the cost of production that
will Justify these rates. Should il de-
velop that they are unwilling or unable
to prove that their price is a fair one,
feel sure that Congress will not fail TO
back up the department in whatever
steps seem best TO obtain armor at a
just price"

Discuss Legislation TO Expedite
Cases in Federal Courts.

The President conferred with Attorney
General MCReynoldS yesterday on num-
Der of bills pending in Congress which
are planned to expedite the trials of

ated the proposed legislation to which the
President gave his attention yesterday
lid so in the belief that it is not a whole
some condition for the dockets of the
Federal Courts 10 be crowded so thickly
with cases year in and year out They
believe that Congress should do some-
thing to expedite trial of a case brought
before Federal Court so that its adjudi-
cation might be looked for at some fairly
1efinite date.
An important criticism now directed at
procedure of the Federals Courts is that
Il permits of too long a delay in the de-
termination Of cases. 1t is believed also
that in many Federal districts and cir
cults the courts have more work than
they can discharge properly in the time
allowed.

In addition to this Improvement the
capacity of the sChOolrOOms has been
doubled by the building OF six large,
airy, wcll-liEhtcd class rooms, with every
modern Improvement. They will accom-
mod3te about forty children each. These
new class rooms were found necessary on
account of the rapid growth OF the
school when. less than ten years ago
the late DIR. Stafford erected the hand
some new school building on g Street
il was expected that accommodations
would be adequate for all possible needs
in the future. But the school grew so
large during Or. Staford's last years
that Mgr Russell. when he succeeded
DIR. Stafford. found il imperative 10 rent
the upper floors Of Carroll Institute, on
Tenth street. 10 accommodate the pupils.
Even this annex has been found INSULT
cient to provide for the cver-increHsinE
number OF children who apply for ad
mission. Last year many had to be
turned away for lack OF room. Mgr.
Russell then decided to enlarge the
school 50 as to find room for more than
double the original number OF pupils.
Success of students.
The course Of studies. in future will in
clude the primary or grammar grades
and a two years business high school
course for both boys and girls The
whole school will be In charge Of the
Sisters of the Holy Cross. Mgr. Russell
was encouraged TO undertake this en-
largement of the school by the success
that has attended his graduates in the
past. These young men and women now
have very lucrative and promising posi-
tiOns. There are four of the graduates
studying for the priesthood at St Charles
College, and as many more have matricu-
lated at the Catholic University and at
Trinity College.
The difficult task Of unroofng Carroll
Hall and placing two solid reinforced
concrete floors for the new school rooms
and roof garden in three months. so as
to open school on schedule time has been
satisfactorily accomplished by Samuel
Gaskins & Son Company.
The formal opening OF the new addt-
ton to the school will take place tonight
and tomorrow evenings by an entertain
ment in Carroll Hall, and a dance on the
roof garden. The roof garden will be
brilliantly illuminated with electric lights,
and an orchestra will render inviting
music for the dancers. Refreshments
will be served by the young ladies Of the

IBy Latest Maill/

Z CHICAGO There hasn't been real
fight in the middleweight ranks since
the memorable battles between Billy
Papke and Stanley Ketchel, fought
four years ago. That's what Papke
famous as the Illinois Thunderbolt,
says in a letter.
The present crop of 15S-pounders,
in the opinion of the Kewanee mid
dleweight, aren't fighters; they are a
lot of good boxers, who delight in
stalling through short fights and grab
all of the money they possibly can
demand. None of them, he says, with
the exception of Jack Dillon, the In
dianapolis middleweight, and Frank
i<laus, the Pittsburger, is capable OF
putting up championship fight over
the championship route-20 rounds.
Papke says that his damaged hand,
injured in his fight with Klaus in
I arts, is getting back into form and
that he's planning campaign to Sc
cure a match with Klaus and DilfDn,
and to settle the championship mud
die. He has been hunting and fishing
around Kewanee for. the last few
weeks and asserts that he is in SPLEEN
did condition, although a tribe heavy.
"McGoorty is terror Cor ten or
fifteen rounds" writes Papke, but |
doubt il he could travel the cham
pionship route with the speed he
shows in a short contest All of his
recent fights have been for teAroufds
and outside of his two victories over
the British and Australian champions
he hasn't done much to brag about
I think that Jimmy Clabby Is a
better boxer than McGoorty, although
he is little too light to go 20 rounds
with a real rough middleweight.
How longlwould either he or McGoor-
t. last with Ketchel when Stanley
was right? He would have punched
them to sleep in no time.
Klaus | think, is too slow and too
clumsy to make a great fighter I've
fought him and know He didn't show
much class in our fight in Paris. | had
no trouble in getting away from his
punches and found it easy to soak him
in dangerous spots
!. From what l nave heard about
Dillon, he. must be the goods He
gave Klaus good punching in their
recent indianapolis fight and fought
him good 20-round fight on the coast
a year ago But since then under
stand he has improved rapidly in box
ing skill and speed. / think he's the
most dangerous man in the 15S-pound
division, and will not be surprised If
he grabs the championship before an
other year"
