the Twentieth Announces
Mayor Cole.

Announcement was made by Mayor
VIII H. Cole this morning that effec
tive on Monday next, the police force
would be cut down three men. It was
not said what three would be let go.
Since. the going into effect of the
prohibition amendment the city DO.
lice have had little to do, there havine
been only one person. arrested on O
charge Of being drunk since the Law
went into effect on July i. Outside
Of the seven automob ilists, who were
arrested Wednesday night, there has
not been half dozen arrests on other
charges and the retention of the pres.

Unnecessary. By the releasing OF

not be endangered. 1t Is thought, as
there still will be left enough men ia

American boxer declared he was will

and at any time and would prefer
that the winner should take the en-
tire purse or gate money. Carpen-
tier would make no reply to Smiths
oher. Smith asserted that he never
would fight again before a cinemato-
graph. He said his eyes were weak
and he had to wear glasses in the
sunlight. Last night the glare of the
lights puzzled him and he thought
this possibly had something to do
with his striking Carpenter when he
was down. Smith insists that even
