HATS OFF
TO ENGLISH
SCRAPPER
BY HAL SHERIDAN.

(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Dec. Hats off to Fred
die Welsh, Englishman and fighter!
That last word is used advisedly It's
a word that couldn't be applied truth
fully to a lot of American champions,
near or far.
Freddie Welsh, in about six weeks
time has fought more two fisted scrap
pers than some OF his predecessors in
the light weight chair fought in as
many months Of their respective king
ships. And the men who faced Welsh
in this period are of Americas best.
The little Englishman sailed into
this country on the wave Of his sue
cess over Willie Ritchie literally with
fighting togs on and his guard up. His
first match was with Matty Baldwin,
in Boston. Welsh won. A few days
after the Baldwin bout, Welsh met ex-
champion Ad Wolgast N New York,
and showed his class. This battle
ended before the ten-round limit had
been reached, when Wolgast broke a
bone in this hand Without sign of
fear for his hard-earned crown, Welsh
almost Immediately jumped to Mil
waukee to fight Charley White. The
latter was given a draw by some
sporting writer's, but Welsh had no
time for explanations or excuses. He
was fighter. His board bill refused
to stop. He made another date-this
time to meet crafty Duff at Buffalo
He kept the date by outpointins
Duffy.
Now there are two reasons why
Welsh should get the palm Tor this
record. He should get it going ant
coming. Some folks might say, well
why shouldn't he fight? This business
Of praising him for being a willing
worker is all bosh, Welsh can com
mand the money and he's getting j
while it's good" Let's concede that
only for the sake of argument, ant
Wen ask this one question?
How many American champions il

Many Entries are
Expected in Bet
ter Babies Show

A mistaken idea Of the baby show
that is to be staged Thursday in the
Dugan building by the Altar Society
of the Catholic church seems to have
been gathered. The telephone wires
have been burned up" for the past
several days by those interested who
are endeavoring to ascertain definite
information.
A lady of the society stated this
morning that the show was open to all
babies within the age limit, regard
less OF religious belief. On that point
alone seemed TO hinge the base for
the wrong impression A great deal
OF interest seems evident and the list
Of entries prom ses to be large.
Also. there will be a dearth Of red
tape connected with the affair. There
viii be no tiresome entry regulations
necessitating extra trips by the young
sters to the show. They will be as
sembled at 3 o'clock Thursday, en-
tered and judged all in the same after
noon and at one Sitting"
Also. as a special feature of the baby
show, little seven-year-old Katherine
Hollingsworth VII play several selec-
tions on the piano. She is said to be
gifted along musical lines, rendering
all her numbers from memory.

The box supper was what one would
determine a success. Many express
ed their appreciation Of the excellent
program. The response was thirty
dollars and thirty cents; the boxes
averaging about one dollar each.
Somewhat inspired by the hearty
support OF the patrons and discovered
ability OF our ever ready youngsters,
we have determined to offer a rare
Christmas program. The tree is to
be decked with treat for every man,
woman and child present. Therefore
a PIE supper is to be given a week
from Wednesday night for the benefit
of the Christmas tree. Come, enjoy
the evening and help make this mer-

treasure which he can not afford to
lose.
Befuddled by the misery they have
gone through, fatggued by their long
tramp afoot; their resistance weak
ened by the remorseless onrush of the
war against which it had been useless
to fight, these poor refugees, silent,
staring, humble, chilled and hungry,
crowd the corroded deck of the tramp
and stay wherever they are put.

BROKERS ARE BUMPED.


BY United Press.
Boston, Dec, 1.--Beginning today
taxpayers Of Massachusetts must pay
two additional levies: Federal and
state. The war tax. of course, goes
into effect and. besides, payments
must be made upon sales or transfers
OF stocks.
A peculiar wrinkle in the new
state law IS that it does not regard the
sale and transfer of stocks as one
transaction. Instead, a tax is charg-
cd for each operation. One hundred
shares at 500 par value must now pay
Sc in taxes instead of the nominal taA
OF $2 in the past.

Middle West Pays

Washington, Dec. Interstate pas
senger rates raised to an almost uni
form 211 cents mile level, went into
effect today on railroads operating
east OF the Mississippi and west Of
Pittsbnrg and Buffalo.
This move was made upon the sug-
gestion Of the interstate commerce
commission in the recent hearing of
the railroads when they asked for 3
per cent increase.
A passenger who wishes to go from
Chicago to Cleveland now must pay
SS.55 instead OF $7.75, as heretofore;
from Chicago to Cincinnati ST. instead
of So; Chicago to St. Louis, $3.50, in
stead of $3.50; and from Chicago to
Buffalo $101O, instead of $12 it is
estimated that the higher rates win
add sl,O00,O00 to the railroads annual
income.

WOULD COMPLETE
LEGISLATION SOON

Washington, Dec. with the
opening of the final session of the
sixty-third congress but a week away
members of both houses began flock
ing to Washington Monday from the
campaign and holiday recess.
On the house side OF the committee
on appropriations and naval affairs
committee spent busy day getting a
flying start on the supply measures
for the session. Evidence of the actiy-
ity we're apparent everywhere through
out the capitol and Democratic men,
bers generally sounded as the keynote
of the session the hope that all neces-
sary business would be completed by
March A, so that an extra session to
usher in the newly elected sixty
fourth congress before December
would be unnecessary.
Appropriations for the bureau Of
navigation were considered by the
naval affairs committee Monday, mem
bers of the committee expressing the
opinion that it would be some time be-
fore the fight over increasing the
naval program would be reached
As to a definite legislative program.
there has been no decision as yet, but
measures including the general water
power and land leasing bills are to-
be pressed. Hearings on these bills
before the senate public lands commit
tee already have been set for Decen-
ber and TO- respectively.
Hearings on the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill,
the first of the big supply measures
have developed general policy among
cabinet officers against asking for in
creasing salaries to government EN-
ployes this year.
1T is our general understanding,
said Secretary Wilson yesterday, that
no increase in salaries are to be asked
for in any branch of the government
service under present conditions"

Early Copper Discovery.

The Grand Gulch mining region OF
Mohave county, Ariz., is the subject of
a short report by j. NJ, Hill, OF the
United States Geological Survey, pub
lished as bulletin 5s0-D. Copper is the
mineral which has resulted in the devel-
opment of the district, and, according
to Mr.. Hill, the original Grand Gulch
ore deposit was discovered about go
years ago. although it was probably
known to the Indians before that time.
Since 1906 it has afforded continuous
production, and the total output is esti-
mated at 100000. Mr. Hills report is
the result OF few days examination
of the geology of the region and the
mines, which he briefly describes with
accompanying sketch maps. A copy of
the report may be obtained on appIica-
