BOXING MAY HELP CHARITY
NOVEL POLICY PROPOSED BY
MINNESOTA COMMISSIONER.
Al Receipts From Bouts Held Under
New Law Would Be Distributed
Among Unfortunates.

st. Paul, Minn-That charity
shall get all the receipts from boxing
bouts held in Minneapolis, ST. Paul
and Duluth under the new Minnesota
law permitting 10-round boxing is the
proposal of Frank B. Thompson of
st. Paul, boxing commissioner ap-
pointed by Governor Hammond.
Mr.. Thompson intimates that upon
the feasibility of his plan OF his abil-
ity to get the other two commissioners
to fall into line, may depend his ac-
ceptance of the appointment.
In his own words:
My personal opinion is that only
one club, composed OF prominent and
well-known citizens should be given
license in each of the cities, and
that the club should not be operated
for individual or organized profit, but
after contributing the 10 per cent of
the gross receipts to the fund for the
prevention of tuberculosis, as provid-
ed in the law, and defraying the legiti-
mate expenses of each match the profit
should be distributed among the char
liable associations Of the city, in
which the exhibition was held
Has Autocratic Power.
The boxing commission is given
autocratic powers to conduct the re-
vived game as it pleases. 1t has pow
er to grant licenses or refuse them,
to adopt any rule it sees fit regarding
the disposition Of receipts, to impose
any rule it wishes.
George P. Douglass, president of the
Minneapolis Athletic club, named as
second member of the commission said
ut looks like splendid plan. should
be heartily in favor of it if it could
be worked out, but / am compelled,

Constructed Own Flag.

A flag with an interesting history is
among Gen. Sir Leslie Rundle's souve-
Mrs. This is the Union Jack which
Jew over the town of Potchefstroom
during the SO days it was besieged in
the Boer war. When the siege was
laid the little garrison had no Union
Jack, so Sir Leslie and hfs men made
the flag out of materials nearest to
hand. The white material was pro-
vided by the then Lieutenant Rumble
out Of the lining of his cloak, the red
was obtained from sergeant's tunic,
and the blue serge was contributed by
a lieutenant, who cut up his coat for
the purpose.

Hibbing CongratuIates Mayor.

Hibbing.-With the Harrison bill,
'pigeon-holed" for two years, people
on the range once more breathe free
ly, although many have not yet fullr
recovered from the scare. The death
of the bill is the subject of street con.
versation in every municipality on the
range. When Mayor Power returned
from st. Paul hundreds of men greeted
him at the railroad station, carried
him on their shoulders to the bali
park, where bonfire was built and
speeches of joy and revelry given ex.
preston until morning.

Couldn't See Any Face.

An old friend, whose name l won't
mention told me this one: 81 was
born and brought up on a farm, and l
had the habit of going around with my
mouth wide open, especially if there
was anything unusual going on. One
day an uncle whom had not seen for
years paid us visit.
"'Hulla, uncle!' said I, looking up
at him with my mouth opened like a
barn door.
He looked at me for a moment
without answering, and then said:
"'Close your mouth, sonny, so
can see who you are.'"

Jitneys Get Cream" of Business.


Duluth.-Herbert Warren, general
manager of the Duluth Street Railway
company, is authority for the state
ment that the jitney busses operat-
ing in Duluth are costing the street
railway company $1,000 day at pres
ent, and that the figure is growing
steadily. 1t is further asserted the
company is actually operating at a
loss.
The jitneys operate chiefly in the
"shorthaul zone," where the cream of
the business is found. The company
gets the skim milk or suburban busi-
ness, which, the company says, is a
loss at any time.
THE jitneys have made large enough
inroads to present serious problem

say that, il allowed to continue as they
are now, they will soon be menace

TWO MORE COUNTIES GO DRY

In Lyon county the vote from II Or

Law way BE eSted.
A test of the constitutionality Of th
law is expected, following the elec

Brewers association will bring suit tt
test the validity of the act on the
grounds that it gives legislative powe,

for the test suit, it is thought Ir

Heavy Dry Vote Expected.
In both of the counties the precincts
yet to be heard from are in the rural
districts and a heavy dry vote is ex.
pected which will only tend to increase
the majorities. Only one of the q
precincts reported from the two coun'
ties gave a wet majority. That was
