900 for a match between the cham
pion and the winner of the Coffey-
Smith event. Johnston says that this
is the last offer he will make for a
bout in this city between Willard and
any opponent.
Neither of these offers is to be with
drawn by Johnston before there is a
fair chance to arrange for a match.
Under the conditions which he stipu-
lates there is only the necessity that
something definite be done within the
next three months.
Fighters to Decide
SO far as the actual money is con-
cerned, he says, the division is up to
the men who compete in the bout.
Both Coffey and Smith have at various
times indicated that they would agree
to a winner-take-a basis.
If Jess Willard, the worlds heavy
weight champion, agrees, his first op-
ponent since beating Jack Johnson will
be Frederick Fulton, the Minnesota
giant. Thomas S. Andrews. of Mil

sent the New Orleans Club which as

morrow Night

The Central and Technical football
teams will be guests of the Harris
burg Independent Basketball Associa-
tion tomorrow night. A section or
the seats will be reserved for the grid
iron warriors, who will come to the
game in a body.
The Garnets will be the attraction
and will bring the same lineup to
Harrisburg they had last season. They
have a giant center in Kerr, and he
gets the jump on most of his oppo-
nents. For a time in the early part
of this season, it was thought that
Dienes. who plays a forward. would
sign with the DeNeri Club, but he
finally decided TO stick with the Gar
nets.
American League Team
In Philadelphia the Garnets play in
the American League. and are known
as the Girard Alumni. for every mem
ber of the team is an alumnus OF
Girard College. Last season the Gar
nets had very little trouble in winning
the championship.
The independents hope to have
Rote in at least part of the game,
for they feel that they need him to
win. Last night they held a long
signal practice, followed by a short
scrimmage. McConnell's arm, which
was injured Saturday night, is improv-
ing. and every member of the team
will be in the best of condition.

MILEAGE FOR ADVERTISING

Washington. An amendment to
the interstate commerce law which
will permit the interchanging of
newspaper advertising space for
railroad freight and passenger
transportation is proposed in a bill
introduced in the house by Repre-.
sentative AdamsOn, chairman of
the interstate and foreign com.
merce committee.
The bill seeks to guard against
abuses through a provision requir-
ing that all interchanges shall be
on the basis of bona fide rates.
The present law prohibits such an
interchange or any understanding
looking to such an arrangement.
Under the provisions of the Ad.
amson bill a newspaper corporation
would be permitted to receive from
the operating department of q rail-
road a check calling for sufficient
mileage for freight or passenger
traffic to compensate for advertis.
ing space at it's full value.

SHERIFF WILL COLLECT

Pierre, S. d That collection
of delinquent personal property
taxes is under the complete con-
troll of the sheriff, from and after
November 10th of each year, is a
holding of the attorney general,
which will be of especial interest
to county treasurers and sheriffs in
this state. The holding on in
quiry from the states attorney OF
Perkins county LAYS down the rule
as understood by the state legal
department under the provisions
of the 1915 act for collection OF
such taxes.
The opinion. long one, is sum-
married in the findings that the
law requires the delinquent person
al property tax list to be turned
over to the sheriff on the tenth Of
November of each year. 1t is his
duty and province to use all the
means within his power to collect
the same, and the list is in his
hands for that purpose until the
last day of September Of the year
following it's delivery to him. AT.
ter that date no attempt shall be
made to collect such delinquent
personal taxes, except upon order
of the board of county commits
sioners. Further, not until this
stage is the treasurer authorized to
advertise such personal property
taxes as a lien against the real es.
tate, and he is also given the right
of remedy in action in circuit court
if he so desires to compel such pay.
ment of personal taxes.
1t is held that the placing of the
delinquent personal property tax
list in the hands of the sheriff and
fixing specific fees and mileage for
his services in such collection was
especially intended to give such of.
fetal a financial inducement toward
effort in such collections, and thus
assist on such collections.
