Will TAKE A Longer
BOUT TO TEST Speed
Ten-round Fight Between White and
Shugrue Tuesday Night Was
Mild Affair.

New York, Dec. 3O.-There is a wide
diversity of opinion today as TO whether
Young Joe Shugrue, of Jersey City, or
Charley White. the Western lightweight
had the better of their ten-round bout
al Madison Square Garden last night.
The concensus of the newspapers in
Gotham is that Shugrue had the better
of the fight, but the margin was slight.
Freddy Welsh, the champion, gave the
fight to the Jersey City scrapper.
After the bout the spectators them
selves were for both lads-the Western
contingent at the bout claiming that
White had won. while the Eastern men
stated that there was nothing to it but
Shugrue
As to the fight itself neither lad
showed any marks of punishment Shu-
grue led in the early rounds and forced
the Westerner to back ground, but the
Jersey City lad lacked the punch. In
the closing rounds White came back
strong and forced the milling. but the
advantage that the Eastern fighter piled
up in the early rounds more than off
set the advantage the Westerner gained
toward the close of the fight.
1t will take more than a ten-round
bout to decide who is the better fighter.
From last nights showing either could
be picked to meet the champion in a
title bout.

SIDDONS' NOMINATION
WILL COME UP MONDAY
Senate's Judiciary Bodies Will Meet
Then-Subcommittee Report Favor
ing Rejection May Not Go Through.

The Senate judiciary Committee will
meet next Monday. when the nomina-
ton of Commissioner Frederick L. Sid
dons for associate justice of the District
Supreme Court probably will be con-
sidered.
The subcommittee which has been in
vestigating the nomination likewise will
meet Monday. and it is understood
Senator Chiffon. of West Virginia. will
request a reconsideration OF the matter.
Friends OF Commissioner Sddons are
pointing out that he was entirely innO-
cent of taking any part in the two cases
cited by opponents as reasons why his
nomination should be rejected. 1t is pos
sible the subcommittee recommended
ton of rejection OF the nomination will
not be followed by the full committee.
as the Commissioner has a number of
friends on the full body.
The subcommittee is said to have sent
all its data to President Wilson, who
is interested in knowing all the facts in
the case. The President has shown no
intention of insisting upon the confirma-
ton of Mr.. Siddons if there are just rea-
sons why he should not be placed on the
local bench

IT IS TO LAUGH.
Margaret AnRIin in "Green Stock
Ings" at Columbia.

Ings" at Columbia.
If ever an audience thoroughly enjoyed
performance it was that at the Co
lumbia Theater last night, when A. E.
w. Mason's delightful comedy, Green
Stockings" was presented. with Mar
garet Anglin in the role of Celia Fara-
day. Miss Anglin appeared in this play
at the Columbia two or three seasons
ago, and her success at that time was
so pronounced that her many admirers
were more than pleased to find that she
had included it in her repertory during
her present engagement
1t will be remembered that the story
of the play hinges upon a family tradi-
ton that the oldest daughter, II unmar-
ried, must wear green stockings at the
wedding of any of her younger sisters.
That penalty has fallen twice to Celia's
lot. When she is informed on her return
from a journey that her youngest sister
is shortly to be married, and that she
must again don those green stockings,
she announces her own engagement to
one Col. smith. a mythical parsonage of
her own invention. She writes a letter
addressed to a Col. Smith in Somaliland.
and then concocts a scheme, with the
aid of her aunt. to insert on a certain
hdlc a OF Oealn Ile LONDON
Times. II so happens that her letter
reached a Col. Smith. and from this fact
there develops a series OF laughable en-
tanglements for Celia which terminate
with her falling in love with the living
representative of her fancy.
To describe adequately Miss Anglin's
Installation of Celia one would have to
exhaust the vocabulary of superlatives
Nothing more perfect i'm pure comedy
could be imagined. The climax of the
fun is reached in the scene where Col
Smith, under the pseudonym of Col. Va
vasour. pres nts himself before Celia to
bring her the last message and some
tokens of remembrance from the suppos-
itious deceased. Miss Anglin and Stan
ley Dark, who was admirable in the
character of Col. ]. n. Smith, kept the
audience in roars of laughter. Ruth
Holt Boucicault was unspeakably ANUS
ing in the part of Mrs. Chisolm Fara-
day, Celia's aunt. The remainder of the
cast was made up of Sidney Greenstreet
as William Faraday, Florence Carpenter
as Phyllis Faraday. Jane Houston as
Lady Trenchard, Carolyn Darling as
Madge Rockingham, Harry Barefoot as
Admiral Grice. Wallace Widdecombe as
Robert Traver, Harry Redding as James
Raleigh. Roy Porter as Henry Steele,
and Donald Cameron as James, and it is
but scanty praise to say that each and
all of them did their full share in con-
tributing TO the enjoyment of the per-
Torrance.

DENY GERMAN CHARGES.
BuIIetmakers Say They Receive No
Orders for Prohibited Article.

That the alleged dum-dum bullets
which it was charged by the German
Ambassador American manufacturers
were making for the allies will not fit
any rife in use by the forces of England
and France is understood to be the dis
covery resulting from consideration and
investigation of the charges. Sample
bullets were submitted by the Ambas-
sador. American manufacturers denied
that they were making dum-dum or
other bullets for any of the belIigerents
Charges of mutilation of Belgians by
German soldiers are likewise discounte-
nanced by an American official just re-
turned from Europe, who in extensive
trips through the war theaters found no
evidences of such atrocities being COM
mitted by any persons.
