TAX DECISION WILL
 SWELL TREASURY

Montgomery, July 7s-(Special. )-Sev- eral hundred thousand dollars will go into the state and county treasuries each year as a result of decision of the su- preme court, holding that individual shareholders in corporations must pay taxes on value reached after total as- sets of the organizations has been con- sidered, even though a great part of the assets may be invested in property ex- empt from taxation Although the de- cision was rendered by the supreme court last Thursday, the opinion was not filed in the clerks office until today. In mak- ing the ruling the supreme court reversed itself and discarded an opinion rendered several years ago and which has been the basis for settlement of many dis putes in the past.

 Tupelo, Miss, July 7.-(Special)- M. Stratton of Greenville, Miss. and F. P. Fitzgerald of Clarksdale, shared high amateur honors on the second day of the cotton states tournament here. Mr. Stratton broke 1S4 out of his quota of POO registered targets and were closely fol- lowed by MT. Fitzgerald by 1S1. MT. Fitz- gerald was high of all amateurs through out the programme of 250 targets, crack ing 43 out of a possible 50 from the 19- yard line in the preliminary handicap.
 Variable winds make variable targets and variable targets make various scores" so says R. L. Cheshire of Mem phis. A gusty northwest wind again blew across the face of the traps and the man who shot at them was not al- ways the man who broke the blue rocks. There was a total of AZ shooters facing the traps today, Memphis being most ably represented by MT. H. N. Bellinger, who was fourth amareur on registered targets by a score of I'll, c. G. Spencer of St. Louis was again high professional with a magnificent score of 194 out of 200 being followed by Mr. c. F.. Goodrich, of 193 and MT. Walter Huff 1S7.

FRED WEI LSH WINS TITLE
 FROM CHAMPION RTTCTIIE

Ritchie cried when the decision was given against him. He refused to talk in his dressing room, but later at his hotel, he said:
 T do not intend to make a 'holler, but I do think the worst l should have gotten was a draw. Welsh was holding all the time and I was doing the fight ing. Therefore 1 think the decision was not fair to me-
 Ritchie hurt his right hand in the bout but otherwise was not much damaged, except for few bruises on the face.
 All the old-timers are agreed the con- test was one of the fastest exhibitions of boxing witnessed in London in recent years. Some expressed the opinion that Ritchie would have come out on top in a finish fight The Welshman's foot work and lodging were quicker than the Americans and he preferred much of the time to get to close quarters, where Ritchie could not use his powerful swings. There was altogether too much holding throughout to please the English specta- tors.
 Rtche forced the fighting in the last four rounds hard for a knockout, while Welsh plainly was playing to win a de- cison on points.

DEMOCRATS CLAIM
 BULL MOOSE VOTE
 ELECTED MULkEy
Committee in Third Adopts Resolution Criticizing State Committees
 Action

Montgomery, July 7-(Special. )--That the new state democratic executive com mittee exercised a power which was un- Just and unfair in repudiating J. j.. speight's nomination for the short term ir Congress by the Third district con gressional committee, and that the state consmittee's action made it possible for the bull moose vote to elect W. o. Null key, is the substance of a resolution adopted at Montgomery today by the Third district committee, which met for the purpose of canvassing the returns of the recent special election in that dis trict.
 The district committees resolution con tains severe arraigument of the state committee and a bitter denunciation of the influences through which it declares Mir. Mulkey was elected. The resolution contains figures showing the vote which Roosevelt received in the Third district when a candidate for the presidency in 1912 his vote at that time being 2036 for the nine counties of the district.
 Tn commenting upon this vote, the com- mittees resolution says:
 lowing to Mullxeys past republican rec ord and his indorsement by the republican
  imminent, 1t is but correct reasoning to infer that he received the republican vote of the district. amounting to 2036 votes."
 The passage of the resolution was the principal business before the commit tee, inasmuch as they did not have the official returns of the special congress sional election. The official returns were to have been sent by an early morning mail, but there was some mistake in mail ing the official vote, and the committee proceeded without the necessary papers. Henry B. Steagall was declared the nomi- nee for the long term without protest from any member of the committee.
 The feature of the committee meeting was the adoption of the resolution as serting that MT. MullSey had been elected According to the committee, about one third of the total vote which the Geneva candidate received was secured by the Roosevelt indorsement and support.
 In referring to the vote given MT. Speight the resolution declares:
 Resolved. further That this committee is sincerely gratifled that it has been in dorsed by large majority of those dem ocrats of the Third district who voted in the election, and that had 1t not been for the large bull moose vote thrown to Mulkey the regular nominee of the party J. J. Speight, would have been over whelmingly elected"
 All of the members of the Third dis trict were present with the exception of three. Chairman s. P. Rainer of Union Springs presided, and offered the commit tees resolution condemning and criticiz- ing the state committed. In a short ad- dress before the committee, MT. Rainer was extremely bitter in denouncing the state committee.

London, July 7.-Fred Welsh. light weight champion of England, tonight out boxed Willie Ritchie the American cham pion, and on the referees decision won the lightweight championship of the world.
 The fight took place at Olympia and the 5000 spectators witnessed a fast and clever bout. Rapid footwork and much infighting were pronounced features. The British victory was cheered to the echo, although there was some dissatisfaction among the American spectators at the decision, because neither man was bested at the finish. Although Welsh scored the most blows, those Of the American appeared to be the more telling.
 It was a fine exhibition of boxing. Neither man went to the floor and this struggle during the last SIX rounds was of a hurricane character. Welsh was quicker and tapped Ritchie repeatedly on the face, finally drawing blood. The American tried continually for a knock out, but either he was short. or Welsh got inside or under the swing.
