One bout will clear up the middle
weight boxing muddle in the minds
OF New York fans. The battle need
ed to establish recognized cham
pion of that class will bring together
Mike Gibbons, the st. Paul flash, and
Young Ahearn, he who was formerly
dubbed the Dancing Master.
There used to be considerable talk
about Jimmy Clabby, Eddie McGoor-
ty and some others mingling in the
select circle at the top of the heap,
but that is all past. Clabby recent
ly came to New York to show his
wares. Since he. did, he isn't even
conceded an outside chance of grab
bling off any championship honors.
AS he had decisively beaten McGoor-
ty on several occasions the latter bat
tier is also eliminated from the
chances.
Clabby's showing left distinct
ly bad odor in the nostrils of New
York fight fans. The Hammond,
Ind, boxer first tangled up with AL
Mccoy, the "joke" champion. He
may have had shade but there was
so little fighting done in the whole

unanimous opinion. 4z
s. The Westerner and his manager
howled long and loud. Mccoy, they
said, wouldn't fight and necessarily
Clabby couldn't. It took two to
make fight, they said. So Clabby
was given another chance. He was
sent against hard-hitting George
Chip from Newcastle, Pa. The exhi-
bition they put up was sickening,
After seven and half rounds of 1t
Referee Billy Roche stepped in and.
declared it no contest. Both men
were disqualified for. ''stalling.."
That ended Clabby's career in New
York and no one there will ever Sc
riously consider him for champion
ship purposes.
Harry Pollok is figuring strongly
on bringing Gibbons and Ahearn to-
gether this summer at his Brighton
Beach A. c. This would be over the
ten round, no decision route and con-
siderable doubt exists that such an
affair would bring out clear-cut
winner. Gibbons is willing to take
Ahearn on over tither ten or twenty.
He once stopped Ahearn in :: four
rounds a few years back and is con-
fident of being able to do it again.
Ahearn has admittedly improved,
however, since that first meeting
and Gibbons would meet an entirely
new man. -. ,..Ee -

SCHOOLS AS SOCIAL .CENTERS:
The Buildings Arc Being More: Gen:

The Buildings Are Being More. Gen.
orally Used BY tho Public. -:
Public schools are more and more
being thrown open for more: general
use by the public than the mere In.
struction Of children. In many citien
they are becoming social centers and
especially places where free public lee
lures are held. This movement has
been very extensive one in New York
city and is spreading to other commu
mites. Philadelphia has thrown open
its free schools for public use, but &C.
cording to the board of education
which recently issued statement
through its president Henry R. Ed
munds, this fact is not fully appreci
ated in the Quaker City. Some crit
icism having arisen over the USE for
these purposes Of the William Penn
high school, Mr.. Edmunds sent out the
following statement:
1.-THE board of education not only
has no objection to the. use Of public
school auditoriums as social centers,
but actually encourages more general
use Of these halls" -. ... :: .:
The infrequency with which the
school buildings are used in the even.
ings in Philadelphia is due, not to the
attitude Of the authorities, but to the
lack Of interest manifested by the pub
lie, according to Mr.. Edmunds. He
added: 49,. -.
'"There is assuredly no reason why
such an auditorium as the one in the
William Penn High School For Girls,
should not be open to any respectable
organization that applies to the board
of education for it's use. The only cost
would be fee Of about So for the Jan:
itor's services. OF course, the public
school buildings are closed to sectariaa
or political meetings, and believe
everybody agrees that they should be,
but to their use for neighborhood gath
erings, free lectures and entertain
ments there never has been any OBJ
lection. If the halls are not often used
for purposes other than formal educa-
ton it is certainly no fault of the board
of education." -:
MOI only puDllc SchOOl audltOr1ums
but the halls in Carnegie libraries are
available, at virtually no expense for
public gatherings, Mr.. Edmunds point
ed out. and for the use of the latter,
too, he said. there seldom were any ap-
plicants. - ~ i.
Mr.. Edmunds" view was in agree
ment with that Of William T. Tilden,
chairman of the board Of education's
committee on property, who has taken
leading part in the movement toward
bringing the home and school into
closer relationship. $50 far as it Is
feasible all public property should give
the. greatest possible benefit to the
public" he said

army engineers submitted to Con-
gress, it has been learned, recon-
mend the abandonment of some Of the
most notable river and harbor appro-
priations. These reports were sub
mitted to Congress as q result OF
provision inserted in the last river

Theodore e. Burton OF Ohio. then a
senator from that state, directing the
engineers to re-examine certain speci-
fed projects, among them the Mis-
souri and Arkansas rivers improve
ment projects, and also to re-examine
any other project that would be deem
ed worthy Of such re-examination.
Thus far the reports recommend the
abandonment OF projects that have
cost the government not only $4,000
600 in years gone BY. but which 1t is
conceded have been practically USE
less. Dozens of other reports are said
to be on the way.
The most important project recon-
mended for abandonment is the So
called "harbor of refuge" Sandy Bay.
Cape Anne, Mass. Practically $4,000
900 has been spent on this river, and
project has been suggested for the ex-
penditure of practically $5,000,000
more.
Here are the other projects recon-
mended for abandonment:

GALE SWEEPS EAST COAST
Thunder and Lightning Accompanied
Rain, Hall and Snow-Propcrty
Damage Heavy.

New York-One Of the weirdest
storms the east has seen in many
.years-rain, hail and snow, accom-
panied by thunder and lightning and
a gale that reached a maximum veloc-
ity of 80 miles an hour-descended
from the northwest Dec. 26 as the aft
ermath of Christmas fog. 1t indi-
rectly caused seven deaths in this city,
carried down telegraph wires, dam
aged shipping, crippled railroad traf-
fic and caused considerable property
damage.
The phenomenon Of thunder and
lightning in the midst of driving
snow awakened New Workers at the
height of the storm about am. A
gale from the south accompanied by
rain had been blowing during the
night, but the temperature dropped
during the early morning hours, chang
ing the rain to hail and then to snow.
The local weather bureau reported a
total precipitation Of 81 inches, of
which rs was snow.
The wind shifted to the northwest
and increased in violence, reaching its
90-mile intensity at o'clock and soon
after carrying off the storm clouds.
The gale continued, however, hurting
signs and copings to the streets and
demolishing several partly built struc-
lures.
The storm had it's center in Massa-
chusetts, the weather bureau report
ed, and the telegraph companies said
their service in New England had been
badly crippled, although communica-
ton had not been entirely lost with
the principal cities. Several of the
land lines of the cable companies be-
tween New York and Nova Scotia
were put out of business.
Shipping of all kinds scurried to
shelter to escape the heavy seas and
several ocean liners dropped anchor
until the gale abated. Twenty-Five
persons aboard Is canal boats driven
ashore off Sandy Hook were rescued
by the coast guard crew there, assist
ed by the crew Of the coast guard cut
ter Seneca. Those saved included
the wives and children of the boats
captains, James O'Neil, in command OF
one of the boats, was knocked into
the sea by a flying board and drowned.
A barge in tow Of the tug Seneca
sprang leak and sank IL miles east OF
Ambrose Lighthouse. Seven Erie
railroad barges loaded with automo
biles sank In the East river.

MAY MAKE CONFESSION
Paul koenig indicted For An Attempt
to Destroy the Welland
Canal.

New York.-Paul Koenig, whose fig.
ure is said to shadow the man higher
up in the gigantic spy plots, has made
overtures to government officials look
ing toward a confession. This is the
startling information that has come
from an official source Federal Of
ficials in New York refused to discuss
the apparent change Of front by Koe-
mig.
The rumor of a confession arose an
hour after Koenig and two. of his al
legged agents, Richard Emil Leyen-
decker and Edmund Justice, were ar
raigned by Federal Judge Mayer to
plead to two indictments returned by
the grand jury.
Two indictments, each with five
counts, were found against Koenig and
one indictment against each OF the
others. Koenig was told that he faces
maximum penalty of 80 years in
prison and fine of $4,000. This is
said to have caused him to seriously
consider making full statement that
would do much toward winning him
immunity.
The Welland Canal indictment plot
charges that the conspirators intend
ed to work through employees in mills
along the route of the canal who were
in Koenig's employ. All the overt acts
specified were mentioned in the orig
inal warrants upon which the men
were arrested.
The federal authorities believe koe-
Mig was as much dummy as Leyep.
decker and Justice. They are certain
he can tear aside the veil of mystery
that has surrounded the men who oil
rected his activities.
This includes, the authorities believe,
at least two millionaire steamship men,
several financiers and three or more
diplomats high in the service of for
eign power.
