~ HICAGO, March 1O.-"This

played and the wonderful conf
denee that he has" remarked
Harry Foley the other night in
discussing the latest fistic "find"
out on the Pacific Coast Muir
rays first name is Billy and he
is the 19-year- old boy who took
Lee Houck 20 the most crushing
defeat of Leo's long and tenn
pestuous career. 1t went only
fourteen rounds and the German
was completely whipped
giles like KeteheI in that no
IL has got a shift that Is a
corker," Foley continued in his
laudations OF his townsman. Yes,
Ill go further than that and say
, that he is nearly as good as Fitz-
simmons was with that criss-
cross style of delivery. And by
the way he isn't unlike Fitz in
build at that, especially from the
waist down. He has the same
old knock-k Knees as the Australia
wonder has.
GIT WAS this shift that got
L Leo going early in the fray
and kept him going all the way
through. Murray is an innocent
looking sort of a boob and when
Houck sized him up in his corner
he must have figured him TO be
the easiest kind of picking. But
when they shaped up In the cen

few moments Murray started his
SHIFT and swung a right into Leo's
jaw so hard that the German saw

on his heels and I'll swear
that he never recovered his equi-
librium from that on to the finish.
He was rocked all the way
through, Murray fighting p care
full battle and taking few chances
of running into one of the des-
perate mans swings.
HXK7 HAT struck me most Of all

fldence both before and after the

he would beat Leo and after he
had turned the trick he didn't

he said he would be glad 20 do so.

It might not be a bad idea
for him TO set some OF the soft
ones before he took on the Ham
mond man. He looked at me in a
blank way and then told me he
didn't figure Clabhy any worse
than the others, and that was all
he would say.

TO PATROL CANAL ZONE,
NEUTRALITY OF TERRITORY
WILL BE UPHELD.
Laws OF Canal Zone Will be Enforced
Ships Will be Required to Furnish
Health Certificates and Take out
Clearance Papers.

Panama, Dec. 13.-Col. George w.
Goethals, governor Of the canal zone.
ammo unced today that his request that
two swift American torpedo boat de-
strOyers be stationed at the entrances
Of the Panama canal was caused by
recent activity of belligerent warships
and colliers in the vicinity of the
iSthmian waterway.
The action Of the Australian collier
Mallina, in leaving Balboa without
clearance papers and the fact that
other cOlliers have shown a DISPOSE
ton to disregard canal zone shipping
laws. convince Col. Goethals that de-
preserve the neutrality of the canal.
Nearly all the collers in canal wa
ters arrived without health certifi-
Gates and in several instances sailed
without clearance papers. 1t is pre-
sumed the Mallina met and coaled
the Australian and English fleet,
which concentrated recently in the vi
cinity of Pearl islands, GO miles south
east of Panama City.
The torpedo boat destroyers re-
quested by the governor are expect
ed to do patrol duty and overhaul
belligerent craft attempting to disre-
gard the canal regulations.
Alleged violations Of the canal
shipping laws have. it is said, been
the subject OF complaint to Sir Claude
c. Mallet, British minister to Pan
anna, and also have resulted in or
ders that the Notifications prevent un-
neutral colliers remaining in ports in
the zone in disregard Of the orders OF
canal authorities.
In the case of the collier Mallina
1T is stated that she arrived without
clearance papers or a health certifi-
cate and with no coal or supplies. She
attempted to buy $4,000 worth Of sup.
plies, consisting largely of articles in
tended for a Christmas dinner for a
large force. She was refused the sup
plies and was ordered to depart be-
cause she refused to state her desti-
nation, as required by the canal zone
laws. The collier Protesilaus is point
esd to as a similar case.
1t is stated that there has been
much wireless interference in canal
waters on the part Of eight golfers,
which recently were in the vicinity CT
the canal, and also by large warship
fleets, reported to be within 25 miles
Of both ends Of the canal

Penalty on Taxes.

At the recent meeting Of Council
Councilman Booth was authorized 20
look out for a horse for the fire de-
partment to take the place left vacant
by the death of Jerry. For some
time horse belonging to the Booth
Boyle Live Stock Company has been
used by the fire department as a fire
horse, but recently this company has
had need for their horse and a fire
department horse will be purchased.
There will be a penalty Of three per
cent. on all city taxes unpaid by jan
uary first and those who have not paid
their taxes by that time will have to
pay this penalty. During December
the penalty is only one per cent. on
unpaid taxes.
