CALL IT INSULT
TO THE NEGRO
Wisconsin Boxing Commissions Rule
That No CoIored Fighters arc
Allowed In Ring.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 21.-J. D..
Cooke, president Of the Colored Citi-
zens Liberty league, today declared
that the. action Of the state boxing
commission in barring colored boxers
from Wisconsin rings is "a deliberate
insult" . asg;s-
THE action OF the commission Is a
violation Of our rights as citizens"
said Cooke. "It Is ruling that can.
not hold IN any court of law and the
commission is exceeding its powers in
putting up such regulations.
'I can see reasons why the commits
sion might wish to eliminate bouts
between white men and colored men.
Such ruling would hardly result in
any protest, though the colored people
certainly object to any dfscrimina-
ton against them because Of color"
The league, at a meeting yesterday,
adopted resolutions protesting against
the commissions action, which were
forwarded to Governor McGovern In
part the resolutions recited that I'VE
condemn the Wisconsin state boxing
commission for their high handed &C
ton In barring colored men from the
ring in this state, as unjust, un-Ameri-
can, an insult, public degradation and
or insufferabie injustice to coloned
Am orleans"
Cooke announced that the league
will hold protest mass meeting dur
ing the week.

An old twoby-four paper house
situated between A and B streets on
the river front, which was becoming
famous as the leading west end drink
ing place, was raided by the police
Sunday morning. 1t was not at an
early hour (about 10 q. n.y. but the
habitues of the place were at home,
sleeping off their Saturday night
party, for the shack was dark and
there was no evidence of life. The
police had to bring forth their search
lights to uncover two quarters of
beer and pint Of whiskey.
The search warrants were Issued
from the superior court late Saturday,
after the police got wind that liquor
was being sold in the west end To
day legal steps were taken and the
proper papers filed In which John
Raftery and Bart Brown are called
upon to defend the confiscated liquor
at a hearing on January 5.
The raid recalls the fact that the
North Pole club, which was operated
in the same neighborhood and for the
same purpose for number of months,
was put out of existence when the
city ordered an extention Of Fifth
street to Commercial alley. The street
cut right through the clubs head

PROBE INTO MANS CHARAC l Elk
When an investigation of the
County Hospital was begun by a
committee of county commissioners,
aldermen and citizens, it was under
stood that the question to be deter
mined was whether the hospital had
been at fault in rejecting John Lyon
as a patient. Lyon died in a barn at
the rear of 753 S. California avenue,
Christmas morning.
AS the case has developed, how
ever, the character of Lyon is really
on trial: The defense of the hospital
is that Lyon was a drunkard, and
several members of the committee,
by their questioning, have sought to
get opinion from witnesses that the
old man was a confirmed alcoholic.
John Lyon probably doesn't care.
What they do to his reputation won't
hurt him where he has gone. He is
dead. But it doesn't seem exactly a
square deal.
Several witnesses testified before
the committee yesterday that Lyon
was a favorite with the children in
the neighborhood. He had been an
actor before rheumatism fncapaci-
tated him, and the children used to
gather around him in the evening and
he would sing for them.
Their parents did not object. They
did not seem to think that John Lyon
was a bad influence for their young
sters.
And the judgment of children and
animals on adults is usually pretty
accurate
Their love was pretty good rec
ommendation for man whom Pres
ident Mccormick and County War
den Chapman have already decided
was a drunkard.

were very afraid that they would not
