WoIgast-White Battle Feb. 9 May Be
Postponed-Stagers Quarrel.

Nuuu0TOuS COm puCdIlOuS, IlCluOluS
a battle between promoters, may
cause a postponement of the AID Vol
gast-Charley White mill, scheduled
for the night of Feb. 9 in Milwaukee.
Tom Andrews, a Milwaukee pro-
moter, has White signed to meet any
133-pounder Feb. 9. Frank Mulkern,
the other leading light in Cream City
fistic circles, claims to have a con-
tract with Wolgast. One of these
stage managers must yield, and the
decision will probably rest with VOL
CAST.
MuIkern does not approve of the
Feb. 9 date, and advances some ex-
cellent reasons for a postponement.
He claims that the contemplated
scrap follows too closely on the heels
of the Rivers-Wolgast tangle, and
will result in a loss of money for the
promoters.
Evidently MuIkem is differently
constructed from the majority of
fight promoters. In the past men
owning clubs have rushed matters
and punched fights, in an effort to
make quick financial cleanup. The
result has invariably been to dampen
interest in the sport, ultimately caus-
ing the game to become practically
dead.
Milwaukee must depend in great
measure on Chicago patronage for
the success of it's fights, and fans
here will not stand the tariff of too
frequent trips to the Wisconsin city.

Chief Justice Whites appointment

ally certain, although Justice Lamar

mentioned for the place.
The personnel of the board will be
announced within a few days, after the
president has received assurances
from each of the appointees that they
will serve. Olney's destinations Of the
posts of ambassador to Great Britain
and the governorship of the federal
reserve bank have cause the president
not to anticipate the acceptance of ap-
pOintments before the men have ac-
cepted the offers.

MINIMUM RATE FOR
POWER WILL FALL
Commercial Club Committee
Points Out Injustice of
Present Schedule to City
Officials.

The monthly minimum charge on
electric current for power purposes
will be reduced. This was the de-
cision of the city officials at a meeting
OF the public service corporation COM
mttee of the Commercial club with
the representatives of the city yester-
day afternoon.
At the time a monthly minimum rate
of 75 cents per horse power for all
electric motors was adopted by both
the Municipal and the Light, Heat &
Power company, there was great
deal of complaint from the small con-
sumers, as the price established made
it almost prohibitative for the small
consumers.
The committee yesterday afternoon
pointed out to the city officials how
the rate already established was un-
fair and unjust to the small consumer
The committee was unanimous in the
opinion that a small minimum rate
should be established to protect the
company against loss from having
special transformer and meter placed,
and the consumer not using any cur
rent.
The city officials stated that they
only wished to fix a rate which would
protect the local plant and if the rate
of IS cents per horse power was I'M
just the rate would be lowered. They
said that there would be some change
made and that it would at least be
reduced to so cents per horse power
and if a lower price could be fixed
which would Gprotect the plant they
would lower the rate below the so
cents.
The meeting was attended by Mayor
Robbins, City Attorney Bond, Alfred

INDIANAPOLIS, May 7.-Gov-

protest from several members of
Post c, r. p. A., Richmond, over
the proposed badger-buIIdos fight,
scheduled to be one of the fea-
lures of the T. p. A. convention
night. The governor said he
thought the city and county
authorities would deal with the
case in a proper manner, but if
they did not he would take hand
in the case himself

principal features of the banquet OF
the state convention of the Travellers
Protective association, at the Coliseum
Friday night, has split Post c, the
local branch of the organization, into
two warning factions, one condemning
the scheduled fight as an outrage, the
other enthusiastically indorsing it.
Theodore Hill, president of Post c,
heads the opposition faction, and he
says that if an attempt is made to
stage the fight he will resign his office
and withdraw from the association.
The plan to have a badger fight
at the Coliseum tomorrow night is
an insult to the association and to the
decency of this community" Mr.. Hill
said today in making a protest to the
members of Post who are promot-
ing the affair.

president of the national organization,

At meeting of Post c members
