Toledo, O., March 23-ThereIl be no fleecing of the people thru crooked prize fights by crooked fight promoters in Toledo hence forth; and the Rev. Aaron E. Jones, curator of St. Marks Episco- pal Church is the man who will be personally responsible for straight fighting and clean prize-ring sport here.
 Dr. Jones has just been appoint ed head of the municipa! boxing commission by Mayo: Keller, for two reason.

The second reason is that Dr. Jones is mentally ,temperamentally and physically THE man for the place. He believes thoroughly in boxing it it is "operly supervised and he declared h will see that the game is properly supervised while he heads the local commis- sion.
 q believe every man and boy should be taught low to defend himself'', said Dr. Jones today. We shall give special attention to boys between the ages of fifteen and twenty. We shall See to it that no man or boy engages in a fight in this city until he has undergone a rigid physical examination and has been pronounced fit.

SHE DISAPPEARED
 4 YEAR AGO

Newcastle, Ind, March 21--One year has come and gone since the disappearance of Catherine Win ters, the 9-year-cll daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Winters of this fcity. Though hundreds of clues have been investigated, and though Dr. Winters has impover- ished himself in the search, the mystery is as impenetrable today as it was year ago. Dr. Winters still appears confident that Gather inc will be found. He still cher ishes the theory that she was kid mapped, and believes with many. others that gypsies were respons- ible, though all attempts to locate gypsy bands near New Castle at chat time failed.
 Reports bearing every evidence of plausibility have come from all parts of the United States to the effect that the Winters child was found, or that persons had confessed the Kidnapping, but un- der the personal Investigation of Dr. Winters or local authorities they were disproved. The disap- pearance was just pricr to the dis astrous flood of last spring, and some believe the little girl was drowned and swept away by the waters. A special grand jury in vcstigattion disclosed nothing, Con- gressman Finly Gray of this district has asked congress to enact law better protecting the home from kiduappers, but this appears to be tho only tangible result of the search.

WHITE CHANNEL i. OPERATOR HERE

I W. Park, mine operator on the White Channel of the Klon- 0ike. facing Dawson, about four miles distant from that city, is stopping at the Pullen house, wait ing for tomorrow train to eontin- ue his way inside. Mir. Park is one of the few individual miners left on the creeks in the vicinity of Dawson, and employs from two To seven men who are engaged in drifting the year round and in hydraulic work in summer.
 According to MT. Park the Can adian Klondike Mines Co.,, of which J. W. Boyle is general manager, and which had four dredgeS at work during the open season in the KlOudike valley, two in one mile of the Ogilyie bridge and two at the mouth of Bear creek, had been very successful in its operations and secured highly sat isfactory results from the grayels cleaned Up.
 Mr. Park went outside last oe- tober and after visiting Chicago, New York and Washington, D. C., went to his old home in West Yir- giuia, which he left 40 years ago. While there he met many of his old schoolmates and boyhOod friends and had a very pleasant time indeed during his stay.
 He says that in Seattle and oth- CT coast cities the news of the passage Of the Alaska railroad bill was hailed with delight by eY- eryone, and in his opinion it will only be short time until the ben eficiaI effects from it will com mence to be felt in all lines of business throughout the territory.

HARVARD MAN INVENTED
BALL CATCHE.R'S MASK

Frederick Winthrop Thayer. a Bos-
ton merchant who died last Septern
Der, is credited with the invention of
the baseball catcher's mask while a
student in Harvard In its obituary
notice OF him. the Harvard Graduates
Magazine thus quotes from the ac-
count of the invention given by Cen
eral Bancroft, captain at the time
of the varsity crew.
Tn the days when Thayer entered
Harvard. baseball differed somewhat
from the present. A pitcher had TO
throw undetermined and end his throw
with arm stretched out. Then that
changed, and as a consequence the
ball was thrown much more swiftly.
DR. Harold C. Ernst, now a profess
sor in the medical school. was pitcher
on the varsity nine. and James A.
Tying, the real estate dealer, was
catcher. They made a wonderful bat
terry,
"Thayer noticed that the more free
dom given the pitcher the greater
became the risk of the catcher. One
day he let a few into the secret. He
was going to make a mask. A few
days before the Yale game of 1876
he came on the field with it. Save
tor the fact that it was made more
Heavy, it was very similar to the
masks in use today.
'rhayer attached II to Jim Tying s
head. and from that moment the
mask entered baseball. At first the
players-other than those in the var
sity--and the spectators. were inclined
to ridicule it, and 1t caused no end
of comment when it was worn by
Tying at the Yale game that year
Harvard won, and two years later
team after team adopted the mask"
