Charlie White Should Whip Joe
shugrue in New York Tonight

Charlie White and Joe Shugrue
will fight ten round in New York to-
night for the crownless lightweight
championship, the winner being al
lowed to boost himself as an oppo-
nent for Freddie Welsh.
White and Shugrue were|noth in
fine condition at the close of the
training period today, and betting on
the. affair was about even. Before |
White landed in New York the east
erner was the favorite, but Charles |
gymnasium stunts and his showing
against his sparring partners opened |
the eyes of New York sports.
Both Shugrue and White gave
Freddie Welsh all he could handle. |
The Chicagoan was generally con-
coded a draw, though there were a |
few experts who were willing to give |
him the edge. Shugrue, lighting be- |
fore home audience, was in no case |
allotted worse than an even break, |
and the majority allowed as how he
had more than trimmed the Britisher:
White, however, should win to-
night. His fight against Welsh was
certainly no f1uke,. as he had pre-
viously outclassed- Willie Richie in
a Milwaukee bout when the latter
held the title. White has been going
at steady clip and moving down
every opponent.
Shugrue, on the other hand is not
a consistent performer. He followed
his stunt against Welsh by losing a
battle against an opponent Of in
ferior class and did not look good.
White should have a slight adVan-
tage IN pure boxing and can defend
himself against the New Yorker. He
is also believed to pack a better
punch in his left mitt than Shugrue.
Strenuous efforts will be made to
match the winner with Welsh for a
20-round New Orleans go, but this
cannot take place for some time, as

north side team had nailed a big
drawing card and would make COM

Informal overtures Made Regarding
 Purchase of German Ships.

Washington.-The British Govern ment has been unofficiaIly sounded by the State Department with view to elieiting some information as to the attitude of the allies toward the trans fer of foreign ships to American registry. Thus far no details of he representations informally expressed by this Government are obtainable. The Treasury Department diselaimed having made any such representa- tions, while at the State Department it was said that no reply of formal character had been received from the British Foreign Office
 The impression prevails that the Hamburg-Ameriean Line was the one most likely to be involved in a trans fer to the American flag. Officials of the State Department said that inquiries had been made with respect to another system of ships. One off cial insisted that it was not with re gard to the Hamburg American ships that the interchange of questions had taken place.

Milk Inspector George T. Crowley explained at New Britain the tests he has been making of ice cream. He says that there is no official test required by state law, and cream may be as low as f or , per cent. fat The highest test shown by the sam ples examined by Dr. Crowley was Ieonard's ice cream, at 21 per cent fat. John Ravizza was next at IS per cent. The inspector says that l5 per cent. would mean q good rich cream. such as the standard should require if one was fixed. There are only two dealers. whose cream is above this standard Dr. Crowley's object in making the tests is to open the eyes of the people so that they will insist on the cream being what 1t should be.

Man Engaged to Sell Newspapers on Railroad Misses Train and Is h. jured in Station and Dies-
 Claim of Widow.

Hartford.-Gompensation Commis- sioner George B. Chandler was called upon to decide whether a man, employed to sell newspapers on a railroad train, who has missed his train and is injured while wait ing in the station, is entitled to compensation. The case in question was the claim of Mrs. Eva Cohen, widow of Harry Cohen, an employe of the Union News Company. who died as the result of an accident to an ele- vator in the Union Station in Hart ford, where he was riding to pass away the time between trains. He was supposed to have left on the 6:35 a. n. train on May 29, going to Spring field and returning to Hartford in the evening by way of New York and New Haven. but had come to work late. At the hearing Mrs. Cohen was represented by her brother-in-law, Morris Bailon. and the Travellers ia- suranee Company, which insures the Union News Company, was represent ed by Judge Walter H. Clark. The commissioner reserved decision. A hearing was given by Commissioner Chandler on the claim of Luigi Maya of New Britain against Thomas Grove of New Britain. Mazza, who is a la borer employed by Luke Sinskie, a builder. was working on a job which Sfnskie had sub-contracted for from Grove. He strained himself, and had to be operated on for hernia. Grove opposes the claim on the ground that the man was working for Sinskie, but 1t is alleged .on the other side that the compensation law makes the principal contractor responsible for all men at work on the job, whether employed by him or by -sub-contractors.

Adult Illiteracy.

The Frankfort State Journal, discuss
ing adult illiteracy and the work of the
Illlteracy State Commission to investi-
gate it, says:
''The eradication of adult illiteracy in
Kentucky is crusade not to be dispar
aged, and the efforts OF the commission
appointed by the Governor in compliance
with an act of the last General Assembly
will be watched with sympathetic inter
est by the lay public and undoubtedly
encouraged by school men.
1.-THE broad general cause of adult illit-
eracy, of course, everyone knows, is fail
ure of children to go to school, and, con-
sequently. the big question is to get all
the children in school. When they are
all in school the problem of adult Hitter
acy for the future is solved.
lone of the reasons why children are
not IN school is poverty. They have to
work. Yet Mrs. Helen Wolcott. of Shell
by county, has shown US that girls make
more money in three months raising to-
matoes on tenth of an acre and canning
them than the average girl makes work
ing all the year round. This throws a
little light on the pathway Of progress,
but it must be brought home to the class
that will benefit by il, and that is the
class hardest TO reach.

Hemp VS.. Tobacco.

Kentucky once led all the States of
the Union in the production of hemp.
The States primacy in hemp growing
was as we'll established at that time as
is its leadership in tobacco production
today.
According to Lexington dispatch,
Prof. Garman. of the State Experiment
Station, believes the farmers are max
ing a mistake in so generally abandon
ing hemp and giving so much attention
TO the production of tobacco. He insists
that hemp is a remunerative crop when
raised for the seed alone. An acre of
hemp will produce from 10 to IL BUSH
els of seed, and hemp seed is in ready
demand at S. a bushel.
Growing tobacco, Prof. Garman says.
is having bad effect on the Kentucky
soils, which already are deficient in veg
etable matter and in some places lack
ing in other desirable ingredientso 1.-THE
man who has the nerve 10 withstand the
general tendency, to turn his back on
tobacco and grow crops not grown by
everybody about him, ought TO make
more money In the next ten years than
he can n AXE from tobacco, and by doing
so will certainly take less from his land
and find it in better condition at the
end ;"
Prof. Garman believes the State could
1
profitably plant several times the pres
ent acreage that is being devoted to
hemp, since our hemp growers are not
able TO supply the demand for seed by
many thousands of bushels. In recent
years the acreage of hemp has decreas-
ed in Central kentucky every year. In
the meantime the acreage of tobacco
has been increasing. In the census o
1910 fewer than 500 farms reported hemI
and of these only So reported sales o
hemp seed. There seems TO room Il
doubt but that the State would be great
ly benefited by revival in hemp grow
ing.-Farm and Family.
