with the recordation Of the deed
closes one of the most obstinate fights
against the sale Of white property to
negroes that has been waHed since the
} enactment Of the segregation ordinance.
The contempla ted sale of the church
property drove nearby property-own-
ers to numerous expedients to block
| the transfer. The Council was pre-
vailed upon to amend the segregation
ordinance In two important respects.
both amendments aimed at preventing
! the occupation of the building, but
neither, IL Is stated, went into effect
early enough to stop the sale.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE HELD
HEARING IN CHURCH
The controversy over the sale of the
church brought Il Council committee
for the first time to sit as a body In q
church for the purpose Of taking evil

Ordinance Committee. with Chairman
Marx Gunst presiding, held hearing

mer for the purpose of determining the
will OF the congregation as to an APP
Dlication that had been made by the
trustees for an ordinance TO allow the
sale OF the church in violation of the
provisions of the segregation statute.
Marked opposition on the part OF
some members of the congregation
and on the part of owners of nearby
property caused the withdrawal of the
petition to the Council. but shortly af-
forwards application was filed in the
City Circuit Court for an order per-
hitting the trustees &c sell the prop
erty.

JESS WILLARD SAILS
FOR THIS COUNTRY
Heavyweight Champion Bidden
Farewell by Great Crowd-Plans
Not Arranged.

HAVANA, Cuba, April Jess Will
lard, the new heavyweight champion
OF the world, sailed for the United
States today by way of Key West. A
great crowd which gathered at the
dock to see him off interfered with the
sailing arrangements, and the steam
ship, which was to have departed at 8
O'Clock, did not get away until nearly
noon.
the plans of Willard and his pro-
moters for exhibitions on the way to
New York have not been arranged. In
TACT, no one in the party had any def
mite idea what would be DONE Will
lard wishes to go to his home in Los
Angeles as soon as possible, but the
fight promoters desire to give a large
number of exhibitions for the greater
financial returns to be obtained while
the champion is still new figure in
Jack johnson is still here. He is
preparing to go to Santiago, whence
he will sail to Jamaica and thence to
France by way of Martinique.
Amount of Receipts Not Known.
Although it was announced last night
that the gate receipts Of the fight were
$4,000, no one in Havana seems to
nave dennfte information on this ONT.
Various stories have been given out
placing the amount at $4,000 up to
$4,000 When the announcement was
made that $4,000 had been taken in
various claims were presented by per-
sons who participated in the arrange
ments for the fight. Later the amount
was named as $4,000.
The crowd which witnessed the fight
was surely In excess of $4,000. The
prices ranged from So to S25. How
many complimentary tickets were Civ
en- out Is unknown. The largest profits
went to the race track lessee, Curley
Brown, who got 81 extra from each
spectator by running a few races after
the fight.
Havana is returning to normal con-
ditions and the hysteria Of the last few
weeks Is disappearing. The Americans
who came here to see the. fight are
leaving as rapidly as possible, taxing
the transportation facilities as never
