BURNS AT LAST
GETS TITLE BOUT
Jersey City Boy Has Long
Desired Chance TO
Face Williams.

frankie Burns. Of Jersey City. one of
the best bantamweights In this coun-
try, will have another chance to win
the championship. lie will face Kid
Williams, of Baltimore, In a twenty
round battle for the title at New Or
leans on November 20. The weight will
be 1l8 pounds ringside, and at that fig
ure both boys should enter the ring at
their full strength and in condition to
put forth their best efforts.
The match was made after months
Of dickering. Burns has hurled chsl-
lenge after challenge at the champion,
but the latter turned a deaf ear TO all
proposals. The promoters convinced
Williams that Burns was the best Of
the contenders, and that he would IN
doubtedly draw q larger gate than any
of the others, so the Baltimore lad,
who Is q business man as well as title
holder, came to time.
Burns has held his place In the front
rank OF the bantsmweights for four
years or more. He fought Johnny Cou-
lon when the Logan Square lad held
the title, but the referee decided that
Coulon won. This decision caused such
a storm Of protest that the official has
done little work in New Orleans since
that time. In the opinion Of the crowd
Burns won handily.
Burns is one OF the fastest little
fellows In the ring. He is furiously
aggressive, but lacks a really conyinc-
ing punch. 1t is his inability to hit
that has retarded his progress to the
championship.
Ray Bronson, manager OF Milburn
Saylor, is out with a statement follow
ing the latter's defeat at the hands OF
Kid Lewis, the Englishman. He ex-
plains that 1t is not an alibi, but
legitimate explanation, and there Is
much to be said in support Of his
stand on the matter. The conditions
required the men to weigh 1876 pounds at
3 o'clock. Saylor made the weight cas-
lily, but Lewis refused to weigh in at
all. Bronson declares that the Eng
lshman weighed close to l45 pounds at
the ringside.
The bouts of tonight will be as fol-
lows: Buck Grouse VS.. Johnny Shaw, at
the Fairmont A. c.; Young Lippy VS..
Kid Goodman, at the Long Acre A. A;
Jimmy Flynn vs. frankie Burns, at the
Greensboro A. c., and Soldier Bart
field vs.. Dave Kurtz, at the Broadway
Sporting Club.

FOR BARNEY ON

Hot on the heels OF Barney Old
fields 3OO-mlle no-stop victory, 81.
Patrick's day. comes the news that
he has won the l0O-mile road race at
Tucson, Ariz.. on March 20. at an
average speed OF Sc miles per hour
over rough desert roads. also with
out a stop.
The most remarkable thing about
this victory is the fact that the same
set OF Firestone tires which carried
Barney the 3Ol miles to victory over
macadam roads with 391 rightangle
turns on March II were again used
In the Tucson race.
In the last few years 25 victories
OF national and international i'm

Goux, Bob Burman, Louis Disbrow.
Earl Cooper. Jim Parsons and Spen-

THERE are some people Wno SAY they are opposed to a bond issue to build rock roads because we will NEVER get 'em. Now what do you think of that? Those same men have evidently for gotten that they have been pay ing 3 mills road tax each year amounting to now about $20O, OOO in the past dozen years and that they havn't even a sign of roads left for their money. The ARGUS took stand against the further levy Of the 3 mill road tax last year in order to force the issue Of permanent roads. the property owners of the north end of Monroe county will care fully look into the cost of per manent roads and then consider their loss in doing without them, the ARGUS does not doubt for moment that they will vote in favor of them.

Monroe County Poultry
 Raisers Department

Allow the hens free range. Wire in the garden, not the hens.
 Stronger fertility is secured from birds on range.
 Remove the male birds from the flock as soon as the hatch- ing season Is over, so as to pro- duce infertile eggs.
 Infertile eggs keep much better than those that are fertile.
 The male bird has no influence e on the number of eggs laid.
 The hens greatest proft-prc- ducing period is the first and second years.
 The free use of kerosene or crude petroleum on the roostr. dropping boards, in the cracks, and around the nests will ex- terminate mites. WhiteWash is also good.
 Spray the brood coops once a week with some of these soIu- tions and move to fresh ground.
 Be sure and feed the table scraps to the fowls. Milk is one of the best feeds for egg pro- duction.

Frying up The Political
 Lid

in the Palaski County Circuit Court where the Hot Springs crowd are trying to force legal recognition of a legal enactment of the Racing Act by the recent Legislature. the developements in the trial are getting spicey and sensational.
 Coy. Hays was one of the witnesses and number of promi nent politicians and political wire workers. race gambling sympathizers. etc, are also being called to take the witness stand in order to establish the fact of whether Gov. Hays d d or did not first approve the cele- brated Race Gambling Bill.
 The'political secrets that are coming out in the examination would disgrace even a New York Tamany official.
 It is really a pitiable situation. A man who had the opportunity to make good that Gov. Hays had and then to be disgraced by such evidence as is being educed in this examination. is to be pitied.
 The ARGUS will endeavor to print next week, a full account of the examination and the people may then be able to judge of the shame that has been brought on the state by the lack of regard for true principals of statesmanship and manhood.

Increase in Negro Popula
 ton

The negro population of the United States increased from 757, POS or 19.3 per cent of the total population. in l790, to 9.827, 763 or 10.7 per cent of the total, in 1910. The increase be- tween 1909 and 1910 was at the rate of 1l.2 per cent. while dur ing the same period the white population increased by 22.3 per cent. Since l8lU there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which negroes have formed of the total population, due, at least in part. to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration. while there has been very little immigration of negroes during the past hundred years.
 The largest negro population in any state in 1910 was that of Georgia. 1,176, 987; Mississippi was second, with ] ,008, 4S7: and Alabama third, with 9o8, ,282.
