ELLA FLAGG YOUNG
TO Be AN EDITOR

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Ella F1agg
Young yesterday made the definite an
nouncement that she will not attempt
to regain her position as superintend-
ent of the Chicago public schools and
that she has accepted an offer to be-
come educational editor of The Chica-
go Tribune.
Indignant women, who issued a call
for a meeting of protest against
the dismissal Of Mrs. Young by secret
ballot. declared that Mrs. Young's an
nounCement will not affect their move
ment. At a mass meeting today
they will demand the resignation of
the school board members who forced
Mrs. Youn~ to quit, because, 1t Is al
legged, she refused to be made the tool
of a political clique.
John D. Shoop, who became superin-
tendent of schools in the coup by
which Mrs. Young was forced out, was
at his desk yesterday in spite Of the
outcry against the method by which
he was elected and the direct sugges-
ton by Mayor Harrison that he resign

Mayor Harrison further suggested
that Mrs. Young's foes on the board
Of education resign. He said he doubt

fused to say whether or not he would
demand that five of Mrs. Young's op-
p%onents, whose designations he has
held since he appointed them, step off
the board.
In announcing her acceptance Of a
newspaper position, Mrs. Young said:
LAS L see it, what the women want
to do is impossible. Under the pension
law it would not be possible to remove
Mr.. Shoop. He is legally elected and
cannot be removed without trial for
just cause. 1 appreciate the sympathy

OVER j. WILLARD
Experience of Kansan Makes
Coast Battle Cinch for the
Navy Man.

San Francisco, Cal, May 21.-Inex-
perienca may be credited with losing
last nights heavyweight runner-up bat
tie between Jess Willard of Kansas
and "Gunboat' Smith. which the navy
man won on a decision at the end of
the goth round. Willard mad the ad-
vantage of so pounds in weight, six
inches in height and a reach like the
arm of a derrick, but the heavier
punch of the more experienced and
aggressive seaman counted for more
in the result than the bulk strength of
his opponent
Willard had strength and courage,
but was too good-natdred, too slug
gish, and when forced into tight
places did not know what to do.
But six of the 20 rounds could be
credited TO the giant. Both took much
punishment. In the 10th one of Will
lard's ears was split wide open and
fer the remaining rounds blood stream
ed down his neck over his chest
Smiths left eye was shut and both
were tied in the closing rounds, and
here the Kansan's experience and
good nature showed itself, for when
the crowd jeered him for inaCtion dur
ing clinoh, he stopped work entirely
and smiled over Smiths shoulder.
The crowd hooted again while the navy
man tore in.

Representative Stephens and map
showing territory he would ceae
to Great Britain.

Washington, May 21.-A proposition
to turn over to Great Britain the coast
strip of southeastern Alaska, 536 miles
long and in some places only eight or
ten miles wide, as a stroke of inteTna-
tional politeness, has been made in
joint resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Stephens of Texas at the re-
quest of the Universal Peace union at
Philadelphia. The resolution would
request the president TO communicate
with Great Britain with a view TO the
appointment of a commission to inves-
tigate the possibility OF rectifying the
boundary of southeastern Alaska, for
the benefit of both parties
The preamble sets forth that the
boundary line should be so adjusted
as TO remove the standing source of
irritation, the unnatural boundary IN
der which the Yukon territory, the
northern half of British Columbia and
almost the entire Mackenzie basin, an
aggregate AREA nearly as large as the
part of the United States lying east of
the Mississippi river, are shut off from
the free use Of the most direct route
to the Pacific by the coast strip Of
southeastern Alaska.

Women have not the right kind
of nerve" explains Mrs. Hewlett; the
nerve that unites full knowledge of
every danger with judgment in han
ding difficulties with cool daring
That is the kind of nerve they do nCt
possess. They have physical cour-
age. and some have made interesting
fights. but very few have any prac-
teal knowledge of flying.
Take poor Miss Quimby, for exam
pie. She had plenty of reckless oour-
age, but really knew very little of
aviation, never filly realized her dan
ger. When she was face to face with
necessity of judgment and presence
Of mind she failed. And I think it

BRITTON FIGHTS
MURPHY TO DRAW
Lightweights Go Ten Rounds to
Even Break in Ring at
Kenosha.

Kenosha, Wis, May 21.-Jack Brit
tor, who halls from the north, side
of Chicago. and Eddie Murphy of
Boston fought 10 of the fastest and
most furious rounds that fistic fans
have ever seen here last night. Both
men were on their feet Ell the end of
the 10th round, and the popular YER
dict was that honors were even.
Although it was one of the best
fights seen in this section in many
years, only 500 persons were seated
around the ring and the receipts were
estimated at $500. This was a bit
ter disappointment to the promoters,
fighters and managers, but there was
no kick on the part of either manager
of the fighters in the main bout.
1t was a clean, clever exhibition,
featured by action in every round.
The men stood toe to toe and head
to head at different intervals and
whaled away with both hands, while
at other times they gave as pretty
an exhibition of boxing as one would
care to see.
One of the features of the fight was
the frequency with which Murphy
made Britton miss with right swings
and crosses. Jack was unable to con-
meet with his dangerous right swings,
but he did land effectively several
times with short left jabs and hooks.
Murphy used his left hand on more
than one occasion and used short
right uppercuts with great effect on
Jacks body and chin.
AS a result of this fight, both men
now are in a position to meet the
best in the lightweight division. Man
ager Danny Morgan is going to take
Jack to the coast, where he hopes to
land the 20 round bout with either Joe
Rivers or Willie Richie. Murphy and
his manager, Micky Mcbride, will take
the RATHER" today for Cleveland,
Ohio, where he will take a short rest
before engaging in other bouts.

NEW BOXING BILL MAY PASS
Committee Measure Taking Place OF
Others Reported FaVorabIy.

Springfield. Ill, May 21.-As a sub.
stitute for all pending bills the house
committee on miscellaneous subjects
reported favorably a committee bill
legalizing boxing in Illinois.
The bill which came out differs
radically from the Carroll-Hilton bill
in that it provides for two distinct
athletic commissions. The Chicago
commission, consisting of three mem
bers, shall be appointed by the mayor
and their compensation shall be fixed
by ordinance Of the city council. Their
jurisdiction shall be complete within
the city limits.
The dOwnstate commission shall be
appointed by the governor and it shall
have full say in all of the state out
side of Chicago. Compensation of its
members is fixed at $4,000 each. Their
duties, as is also provided for the Chi,
Cago commission, shall be the same
substantially as was provided in the
Carroll-Hilton measure, which was
modelled directly after the New ork
statute.
Senator Carroll has not called UP
his bill, which is in the senate license
committee, and the bill which came
out from the committee of which Rep
resentatiye Frank J. McNichols is
chairman, takes the place of three
( bills. one of which had been introduc
/ ed by Representative McNichols, an
other by Representative Hilton, iden
| teal with the Carroll bill in the sen
ate, and the third by Representative
igOe.
Chairman McNickols said that the
