POLICE ENTITLED
TO MUCH CREDIT
Night Sergeant II. II. Kcrscy and
Seven Patrolmen Handled 5000
Fight Fans without Trouble

Services of policemen always are
necessary where there are large
crowds of people, and when the fans
congregated at Western Association
park last night preparatory to wit
Messing the pugilistic contest between
Carl Morris and Bob Deyere, the duty
Of insuring order fell to Night Field
Sergeant II. II. Kersey and seven pa
trolmen, every one Of whom are de-
serving of no little credit for the mas
terly manner in which they per-
formed their duties.
Sergeant Kersey at first was on
duty alone, but when the crowd, de-
sirous of buying tickets, became so
large that it blocked the streets, ad-
ditional men were necessary. PATROL
men from other beats were therefore
dispatched to the park and within a
few minutes the fans had been form
ed into line which reached for sev-
eral blocks.
Perfect order was maintained dur
ing the whole OF the entertainment
and not an arrest was necessary.

COLOGNE, July 3O.-That no SOL
cier in the field may be overlook ed
and have to go without gifts, while
his comrades with wealthier or more
thoughtful relatives at home, con-

Cologne organization has adopted the
plan of writing to the commanders Of
Cologne batallons, asking to be notl-
fled who are the neglected ones.
Through the newspapers pleas then
are made for funds or gifts especially
for these men. The plan was adopted
only after it was found that notwith-
standing the millions of packages go.

ing overlooked. The city of Cassel
has adopted the same scheme, and
other municipalities are considering
following suit.

BRITISH SOLDIER
GETS GOOD FOODS
Waste in the Army Is Not
as Great as 1t Is Often
Reported.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press).
LONDON, July 30.-The report
that the British soldier uses bread to
clean his boots has caused an Off
Ger attached to the Quartermaster-
Generals staff to make a statement
in the. Times regarding the wastage.
Of food in the army, which he thinks
is no more to blame in this respect
than the civil population.
There Is no doubt" says the Off
Ger, that where a very large number
of men are assembled together under
military conditions the appearance Of
waste will be more striking than fam
ily waste in civil community"
He then admits that the wastage Of
food, particularly of bread, is char
acteristic of the army, since 1t is the
vice of a large section of the British
populace Some waste is inevitable
in the army but it can be reduced to
a minimum If the officers of a regi-
ment give the food problem the same
attention they give to the training of
the men in the field.
Avoidable waste Is usually coupled
with complaints of deficiency of flood.
But no small cause Is the fastidious
taste of the men of the new armies,
who come in large part from nice
homes and are not used to the coarse
fare of the camp. The serving Of
food also often involve waste, as when
all the meat is cooked and served at
once. and the scrap ends and bone
that might have been cut out and
made into soups and stews are sent
to the table and thrown away.
The modified home ration of the
army gives soldier pound of meat,
a pound of bread. two ounces of ba-
con and seasonings with cash allow
ancc of IL cents a day to buy extras
with. In the eXpeditionary forces the
allowance of food is greater. including
q quarter of pound of bread extra
and Jam and cheese. but lately these
additional items have been eliminated
in most parts of the line and the cash
sum Of IL cents substituted just as in
the home ration.
As some 10000 army cooks are re-
1uircd. and the facilities for training
cooks were at first limited. the mess
was badly handled for time in the
new regiments. But this drawback
has been overcome.
The officer tells Of seeing a score

j. j, Rooney Alleges in
Court Petition That
He is Damaged.
IS FROM MUSKOGEE
Was Low, But Unsuccess-
full Bidder on Car
negie Library.

Suit for 600 damages for alleged
slander was filed in district court yes
terday by J. J. Rooney, a contractor Of
Muskogee, Okla, against Grant Il. Nc
Cullough, president of the First Ma
uonal bank and chairman of the
Carnegie library board. The petition
was filed by r. +. Morley. Il local at
torney, who is associated with Samuel
'. . llara OF Muskogec as counsel for
the plaintiff The case probably will
be docketed for trial during the No
Nember term.
As set forth in the petition, the
cause OF action is based ON con
vcrsation alleged to have taken place
in the presence of the library board,
Mayor Frank NJ Wooden, a Musko-
gee bank official and Rooney. 1t is
leclted that Rooney bid on the Ii
brary work and that his figures We're
approximately $4,000, several thou
sand dollars lower than any other
bidder. II is asserted that two mem
bers of the board promised Rooney
the contract, but a considerable in
terval had elapsed before Mccullough
made similar assurances.
FINALLY as Rooney further sets
forth in his petition, Mccullough, in
the presence Of the other board mem
bers, the mayor and others, contend
ed that inasmuch as the Muskogee
contractor had not deposited certi-
fled check, but only a personal check,
the contract could not be awarded to
him.
Rooney then states that he notified
Mccullough that if allowed half an
hour he would secure cash on the
check; also that he had positive
knowledge at the time that the de
tendant had called the Commercial
National bank of MusEogee, and had
been informed the check was good.
The plaintiff also sets forth that
Howard Davis, a Muskogee banker
with whom he never had done bust
less, was in Tulsa at the time and of
fered to endorse the check Rooney
declares that then Mccullough in
formed the board that it could not "do
busnes with "a dishonest man"
Damaged His Reputation.
The plaintiff contends that McCul-
lough's assertion in the presence of
such a distinguished gathering, and
the publicity which followed, has dam
aged his reputation and business, for
which he seeks to recover $4,000
actual and $4,000 punitive damages.
