 WANTS TO PUT BAN
 ON BOXING MATCHES

5 At a meeting of the Men's League of Park Street Congregational church last night it was voted that the leagues representative to the Central Council of the Brotherhood of Churches be Instructed to ask the council to. protest against the issuance of permits for boxing shows. It is claimed that the boxing shows are prize fighes, and are held in violation of the. law. Rev. Gerald H. Beard, pastor of the church told the members that the law defined a prize fight as a contest in which a blow was struck with the intention of stknocking out" an opponent. He said that. from newspaper accounts of the boxing shows held here it is apparent that the purpose of every boxer. is to force the bout to a definite conclusion by rendering his opponent unable to con tinue. 4
 Thomas Fardy, chairman of the meeting read a paper on Commission Government, in which he argued that a change should not be made at once but by degrees through the different departments just as eh1ctency engi- neers make over the system of big | business.
 A. B. Layery, Williar Boardman and Frank Schriever defended the present system of government. claim I ing the apathy of the voters was re-
 sponsib1e for the evils that exist.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. is Thy mall
to Laredo. Tex. Dsc. 1S)-The pei
demlc OF typhus fever which has
claimed thousands OF victims in the
city of Mexico. threatens to spread
throughout the republic.
In a public statement printed to-
day. the people are warned by the
Carranza government that "the actu-
al epidemic OF typhus which reigns
In Mexico city and neighboring towns
has reached such an alarming and
grave proportion us to threaten to
propagate itself throughout the coun-
try and for this reason requires en-
ergetic measures to combat and domi-
nate It."
Accurate statlstlcs on the number
OF cases in this section are not OBJ
tainable. The minimum as reported
Is 10000. while other estimates place
the number OF cases as high as Co.,
900. The truth is that the deaths
are so frequent as to daily necessi-

there is hardly home or an office
which has not had Its victim.
