Baltimore Dane Takes 20 Round De

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

LOS ANGELES, Eco. 12.-Johnnie Gutenko the Baltimore Dane known in the ring as Kid Williams, won clean cut decision over Eddie Camp, the San Francisco bantam weight, at Vernon arena today in one of the speediest and most fiercely contested twenty-round bouts ever staged on the coast.
 There was not a single slow round After the first, Williams who was fighting under a handicap in reach and height. was all over his oppon ent. sending in terrific left hooks to Campie's wind and jaw, forcing the latter to hold on. Campi came back strong in the twentieth, more than holding his own against the sturdy Baltimore bantam. shOwering lefts and rights to the head that made Williams dizzy. But this was not enough to overcome the lead of the customer.

TOWN FLOODED
 WITH FORGER|ES
Single Operator Relieves
 Business Men by a Clev- erly Executed Series of Worthless Checks of an
 Aggregate of $3S4.5O

A wholesale operation in forged checks has been brought to light. The first was discovered last Sat urday night It had been drawn on the National Bank of Arizona for $73.50 and had been taken by Salim Acllel in exchange for goods of small amount, and cash.
 Deputy Sheriff Woolf following the custom of the sherifrs office distri- buted a warning among the merchants with a description of the forged check and the man who had put it into circulation. This warning brought out five other checks which had evident ally been issued about the same time. All of them bore the signature of Fl. D. Patton"
 The Ackel check had been made payable to 70. D. Lynn" and bore the endorsement of Lynn evidentally in a disguised hand. The other checks are as follows: to F. l.. James. amount. $63.5O, cashed at Da- wilson's Cash Store and returned to the National Bank of Arizona through the Valley Bank; to William Healey,
 
 pany, amount. $I4.50, returned through the Phoenix National Bank; to S. S Smith, s62. cushed by l. Rosenz- weig; to John Roolin. sS3, cashed by Talbot & Hubbard and returned through the Phoenix National Bank; to the Owl saloon. $2S.
 It was the assumption at all the business houses where these checks were cashed that the signature was that of Harvey D. Patton the con tractor who is well known. Mir. Pat has no account at the National Bank of Arizona but he has an account at the Valley Bank That fact was eyidentally known to the forgcr.
 The operator is something of q penman. There is slight resemb lance of all the endorsements eX- cept that of the James check on which the endorsment is written in a clerical hand, resembling in a gen eral way the writing in the body of all the checks.
 The man who distributed the checks wore bib overalls splattered with lime. That fact was calculated to keep down suspicion regarding the Patton signature.
 It is the opinion of the sheriffs office that this forgery and the dis tribution of the checks was the work of one man. None of the victims have been able to give very good description of him. He is thought to Le about forty-five years of age, five feet seven inches in height, florid clean shaven, wrinkled face, and slightly stopped with one shoulder lower than the oher. That effect might have Eccn produced, though by the application of padding.
 Wherever the forger had q check cashed he bought some merchandise most of which he could make use of. But at Doris he bought q bill of groceries which were useless to him so that he had them sent to a number which has no existence.

NEW YORK, Feb l2.-With the adoption of the playing schedule for 1913, the club owners and represen- tatives of the national league ended today one of the shortest and most peaceful sessions in the leagues his tory. Secretary Hydler says no rip pie of discord was heard during inc discussion of business yesterday and today.
 The schedule calls for 154 games. the season opening with one excep- tion on April 10 and ending October ,. Owing to the good will of the Boston and New York club presidents the game originally scheduled be- tween Philadelphia and Brooklyn for April 17 has been brought forward to April 9, on which day the new Ebbets stadium at Brooklyn will be opened. The opening day games, aside from the advanced Brooklyn game are Boston at New York, St Louis at Chicago and Pittsburg at Cincinnatti Brooklyn opens the season at Phla- delphia that day. Pittsburg is more favored with holiday plums at home than any other National league club, getting Decoration day, July and Labor day.

PRISONER ROBBED
 OF COMMITMENT
Why Henry Nebn Could Not Break
 Into Yuma Jail.

Henry Nebin is a very careless per son. so careless in fact that those who know him will never let him carry another commitment of him. self to the county jail. The curious case of Nebin was brought to the attention of the sheriffs office yester- day by a telegram from Yuma, di- recting his arrest on his arrival in Phoenix. The telegram stated that he would be known by cane with wire wrapped about it midway. The train from the south was met at the depot and a man with such cane got off and was taken into custody. Nebin turned out to be an old timer whom all the old timers know and know nothing to his advantage
 He has been engaged in mining in Arizona most of the time for the thirty-five years he has lived here He was not locked up but is de- tained in the sheriff's office pending the arrival of an officer from Yuma today.
 Nebin said that soon after Thanks giving he got into some trouble at Bouse where he is now living and was arrested and thrown into the tank there. He was kept there for twelve days when Dennis Burke and George Hamlin interfered in his be- half and he was released on bail. The matter dragged along in an ir- regular way and finally not long ago, he was tried convicted and sentenced to the county jail at Yuma. The authorities at Bouse had enough con- fidence in him to let him go to the county seat alone and something more than week ago he set out from Bouse armed with his commitment. He stopped in Phoenix long enough to attend to some business here and then resumed his journey to the jail. He carried the commitment which was enclosed in an envelope. in a large pocketbook along with it was $20 bill
 After getting on the west bound train at Maricopa he discovered that he had been 'touched' at the station for his commitment and the bill But he went to Yuma where he remained for five or six days, in conference all of whom he knew. There being no authority. that is, no written au- thority for his incarceration he de- cided yesterday morning to return to kept his purpose . secret,

meet all the difficulties of the case. Tn this state for instance there have been many well meaning judges who, in certain cases. usually affecting la Dor. have rendered decisions which were wholly improper, wholly reac- tionary and fraught with gravest in justice to those classes of the com munity standing most in need of justice What is needed here is not the right to recall q judge, who in some one instance gives a mistaken reactionary interpretation of the con- stitution, but the right of the people themselves to express after due de liberation and definite judgment as to what the constitution shall permit in the way of legislation for social and industrial justice.
 "I hold that in such q case as the bake shop" case. in such case as the workmen's compensation act, in such case as the tenement house cigar factory act, in such case as the act providing for safe guarding from dangerous machinery. in such a case as the eight hour law. it is for the people themselves to decide whether such d law, is or is not to stand on the statute books. l do not care whether you call this action of their construing the constitution or making a constitution.

 As to the matter of fusion, l am for it and if it can be had on (pro- gressive) grounds; 1 am not for it on any other terms. Fusion on any other terms would be as foolish as it would be unprinicpled. We would lose the whole of what we have, (while the enemy would still carry all the vote that was hostile to us) The question of men is a different one.
