While no one who has attended all
of the shows held in Kenosha in the
last year can subscribe entirely to all
the boxing commission has to say in its
annual report of the almost entire
elimination Of all Objectionable feat
ures of these exhibitions since the com
mission took charge of the sport in
this state, no one can deny that there
has been a vast change for the better.
And conditions will improve right
along. Many Of the weaker clubs that
Joined the grand rush for what was
supposed to be easy picking just after
the boxing law went into effect, have
dropped out and those clubs remaining
are for the most part in the control of
men who are just as anxious or more

sport free from Objectionable features
and enhance the reputation of the sport
among the class from which it's support
must be drawn if it is to endure.
These men can be depended upon to
be squmely opposed to anything that
is likely to bring the sport into disre-
lpute in Wisconsin and lead to the re-

THURSDAY, JANUARY IA, 1915.

Following the line of least resist
ance and mixing little common sense
in the administration of the law, it has
been given out that the property own
ers who have been guilty of a viola
tion of one of the city ordinances in
protecting pedestrians by sprinkling
a few ashes on their icy walks need
not fear arrest and prosecution. 1t is
probable that the ordinance in ques-
tion will be repealed by the council and
another passed that is more in conform
ity With the modern "safety idea"
idea.

While the number Of bidders was a
disappointment to the city officials,
men who are qualified to judge declare
that no better figures could have been
presented for the Ridge street paving
If there had been a hundred contest
ants for the contract and that the
Ridge street property owners are to
get as cheap job of paving as will
Zoe done anywhere in the state this
year, Many contractors who did not
make tenders for the work were in the
scity when the bids were opened, "just
ITO see how things are going to go'' as
zone of them put it, but none of them
bntimated that the figures under which
the contract is to be let would have
been bettered if all had put in bids.
LIT is pity that the city is not in a
position to go ahead with a lot of pub
Elic improvements for the indications
Eare that there will be sharp competi-
ltion among the contractors for what
work is offered next summer and that
lower prices will prevail than can be
obtained again for long time. The
Ridge street property owners have
had some difficulty in agreeing on their
pavement, but they do not seem to
have lost anything by waiting,

BY Tho United Press.

BUFFALO. n. Y. April 15-Twenty
masked robbers early today held up
in true Western style. a New York
Central fast freight train near Ian
born, Niagara county. and escaped
with ten auto truck loads of valuable
silks. The train was from Boston.
bound for Chicago via the Michigan
Central at Niagara Falls.
The daring of Engineer Morris
Goss, in cutting out his engine under
fire and running into Suspension
Bridge for help, preventing more eX-
tensive looting. The train had slow
cd down in passing through Sanborn,
at o'clock this morning. A man sud
denly appeared on the tracks and
waved a warning. Engineer Goss
shut OFF his throttle and the train
came to a stop. AS Il did so two
men climbed into the cab and leveled
their revolvers at the engineer and
firemen. The train crew left the ca
boose TO find out the reason for tho
stopping of the train and these three
men found themselves also confront
ed by two masked men who showed
revOlyers in their faces and ordered
them to throw up their hands.
The trainmen were then ordered ia
march up TO the engine and they
went. guarded by the revolvers of the
bandits. The five men we're lined ur
alongside a car and while one man
kept them covered with a revolver, the
other robbers busted themselves in
breaking into the cars.
1t is estimated by railroad officials
that the goods stolen by the robbers
mostly silk in bolts. is worth fully
$4,000.
