Says He was Denied Admis-
sion to Bouts in Garden.

John J. Reisler, better known to box
ing fans as John the Barber" and
manager of Willie Beecher, says he
was denied admission to the bout at

case, said that he had instructed his
attorneys, Henry J. and Frederick E.
Goldsmith, TO bring an action to-day
for $1,000 against those responsible.
He added that he had made no dis
turbanee, had asked no favors in buy
ing his own ticket, but was told that

out home.
The State Athletic Commission is 60
ing TO check up the boxing clubs in the
future. A rule was passed at the regu-
lar meeting yesterday that any club
which does not comply with the rule
that all clubs holding bouts must turn
in financial report to the commission
within twenty-four hours shall have its
license suspended until such time as
the rule is obeyed. OF late some clubs
have delayed making reports, and when
they finally complied with the rules the
amounts of money accounted for were
so small that the suspicion OF the COM
missioners was aroused.
Tommy 0'Keefe, the Philadelphia
lightweight, was suspended from box
ing in this state until such time as he
satisfactorily explains his refusal to
face Johnny Dundee at the Federal A
{. a few days ago. Jimmy Twyford. the
matchmaker and manager OF the club,
pressed the complaint
Johnny DAILY, the veteran bantam
weight boxer, who has branches out as
a manager, and who was suspended for
some alleged irregularity in handling
the funds OF his boy, was cleared OF
the charges. Decision was reserved In
the case of the Irving A. c. against the
Zulu Kid" until the difference could
be Strengthened out. The boxer was
charged with refusing TO fulfil his con-
tract. He proved, however, that he was
unable to appear.
"Chick" West, the slugging light
weight Of Holyoke, Mass, and Willie
Cation, of the West Side, will come to

West has boxed drawn battles with
Matty Baldwin and Gilbert Gallant, and
is q high grade performer.
II Cation can get by this match in
good style he will be entitled TO con-
sideration from the best in his class.
Now that Havana has fallen for the
Ahearn- Lewis bout, the rumor that the
Johnson Willard match will be trans
feTred seems reasonable.

Problem Which Organization

Perhaps there Is no better example
of the difference between old fash
Toned aims giving and the newer char
lily than their methods in caring Tor
a family in which the husband and
father refuses to meet his obligation
and provide for the sustemance Of his
family. Those of the old school al
most II not quite ignore the man and
his responsibilities and endeavor to
further relieve him by providing for
the family. The new charity does not
spend much time in procuring food.

and endeavors to persuade the man
| to again take up the support Of his
family. By SO doing the community
| is relieved of the burden it should not
assume and the man is kept In the
ranks OF producers and providers.
The two forces are endeavoring to
better just such family here In
Keokuk. Which Is doing real charity
work?
The United Charities Of Keokuk Is
endeavoring to handle the problem Of
deserving husbands In. such manner
as shall lift the burden Of support
from the public and place it where 1T
belongs. In SO doing 1t is endeavoring
to build up group of future citizens
who will be less willing to assume
burdens they can not bear and another
group less likely to discard those
they should carry. Many kindly peo-
pie fail to- realize that impulsive and

may be aided in finding their place in

BIG RISE AT WARSAW
Mississippi to South Of keokuk, Is

I The crest Of the high water on the
Des Moines river at Des Moines was
probably reached today, according to
the local weather office. This means
that there will be about two feet
more Of water in the river at this
point within the next forty-eight
hours. While this stage will be suf-
ficient to overflow the low lands, 1t
will lack several feet OF the danger
mark-the stage which threatens the
levees.
There was a rise of three feet
noted at Ottumwa at 700 o'clock this
morning. The stage there is now 1872.
The danger mark for the Des Moines
here is about II feet. At this stage
1t threatens the levees AS 1t stands
now, it will go out of its banks. food

yesterday as forecasted. The stage
this morning read II feet. This was

hours. To the south of Keokuk, how.
ever, there is a rapid rise of the river
predicted. At Warsaw the river is
rising at the rate of a tenth of foot

there rise about two feet today. The
of water from the Des

The fact that there has been no |
