REPORT WILL REVEAL NUMBER
OF AUTOMATIC PHONES

The report Of the public service de-

Public Service Commissioner Fer

auditing committee he expects to
have the report shaped up for publ
cation next Monday or Tuesday.
The financial juggIers controlling
the automatic phone system have
tried to junk it, discTedit its service

play it into the hands of the Bell
phone monopoly, according to infor-
nation uncovered in connection with
the count Of "bOna-fide" subscribers.
The Ferry report on phones viii be
one of the hYeliest reports issued
from city hall Offices in some weeks
The question of whether the city

The ordinance brought in by phone

to sell is at a standstil. There have
been rumors some days at the city
hall that the ordinance would be
called out, discussed and merger Of
the two properties approved, Chair

Lieut. Gov. 0Hara has declared at
a Chicago Political Equality league Z
meeting and at other public meetings 9
that the Chicago Telephone Co. is in #
politics picking candidates and back
ing them with money. One of his
statements is: The present mayor of L
Chicago, Carter H. Harrison, has the ).
endorsement of the Chicago Tele- 5.
phone Co. and the company is a con- f
Tibutor to the Harrison campaign
fund"
William Hale Thompson, speaking
before the Civic league of the 18th
ward, was asked whether he Is for or
against the phone merger. BIS reply
was: 81 am for the merger Of the two
companies and am against tele-
phone competition"
The Penny Phone league has a let
ter from Clifford Arrik, publicity
manager of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co., caRceIng all ar
rangements made by the league for
him to speak at the Oak, theater next
Sunday. Arrik first agreed to a de-
bate with Morton L. Johnson, presi-
dent Of the league, on whether pub
lie ownership is better than private
ownership of wire communication.
Later Arrik notified the league a de-
bate would interfere with other en-
gagements and asked if he could send
on from his department a bright
young man who gives a first-class
Illustrated lecture on the Bel phone
system.
The Penny Phone leaguers said the
young man would be welcome, but
it was understood member of the
league would make a few remarks
about the pictures after the young 4
man got through showing them. So
now comes another letter from Cliff
ford Arrik saying the bright young [

PICKING OPPONENTS FOR
 CHAMPION JESS WILLARD
Contestant Must Certainly Be An
 Exceptionally Big Man.

When Champion Jess Willard de- cides to enter the ring some six months or possibly year hence. who will be his logical opponent? Only time will answer that question, but boxing form is so unstable in it's inn possible to see very far in the fu- ture.
 One thing is certain. He must be an exceptionally big man or he will not carry the confidence of the public. fashion in this respect, so only the giants of the ring will be consid- cred seriously as long as Willard leads the procession.
 This seems to eliminate Georges Carpenter, the clever Frenchman, who undoubtedly ranked next to Will lard among white heavyweights up to the opening of the war. It appears not improbable now that by the time Willard is ready for action Carpen- tier will be free to challenge, unless some stray bullet puts an end to his career in the meantime. Whether he will care to try his luck against the gigantic Willard remains to be seen. Carpenter refereed the Moran-John- son fight and at that time stated that he was hardly big enough to tackle the negro. He will have even more reason to fear the present champion 1f he allows mere size to daunt him.
 Recent developments indicate that Jim Coffey will have the inside track with the promoters when the time comes to select an opponent for Will lard Coffey is one of the few men in the 200 pound class who have both speed and skill Even Coffey. as big as he is, will be at a tremendous disadvantage when he faces the cnamplon, but he is the most prom lslng man in sight at present
 Coffey still has a long way to eo perore he can be picked to beat Willard. But he has this in his fav- or. Of all the heavies developed since the downfall of Jeffries he has shown the most rapid improvement. As a. beginner, the big Irishman was so raw 1t seemed impossible for him to become even a fair second rater. But he was equipped with an exceptionallv me physique to start with and every bout nas added something to his provement has now extended over a period of more than three years, and still there are no signs of its ending It is not unlikely that by a wear from now he will have polished up the few remaining rough spots. Tn that case he will find no trouble in To- eating promoter willing to put m whatever purse Willard demands.
 Young Weinert, who defeated Gun boat Smith recently may be factor to be reckoned with in another year Weinert still is a mere yorth, ana he needs more time in which to reach his full physical development It is doubtful whether he ever will grow seriously as an opponent for Willard
 No doubt Gunboat Smith, who holds referees decision over Willard will try to use that as an argument in his favor. But Smith has been. defeated so often of late that he must be counted out of the running. Carl Morris also is going back instead of advancing, and the same, no doubt, Willard has no reason to dread the time when he must don his war paint and come forth to battle.

a publicity seeker, not worthy of ser

a publicity seeker, not worthy of ser ious consideration.
 So to all appearances, the last chance to make what might have been one of the greatest maches or boxing skill has gone aglimmering. Despite the various offers from this match, and some of them were equal to a kings ransom, it is not surprising that the men failed to agree on terms.
 With all due respect to the marvel ous ability of the Stockyards boy, he has never shown any wild desire to risk a bout in which his fame might have been dimmed in any way. It is an open secret that Packey went cru1s- ing along in the light weight division for some time after he was able to come within pounds of the limit.
 His position enabled him to name the terms of any bout, and Packey never gave himself any the worst of it. Accustomed to entering the ring with everything in his favor, it would have been a new sensation to find himself the under dog. Just what he would do under the conditions is problem which may never be solved.
 Gibbons stands today the greatest boxer in the ring at his weight. He whipped all his rivals until the public looked to Mcfarland as the man to check him. But Gibbons is a middle weight After much debate, Gibbons agreed to make 145 pounds some seven hours before the battle. The promoters throughout the country of fered sums varying from $15,000 to $1S,0 900 for the match, but even this pile of glittering gold could not tempt Mcfarland.
 It is probable that Packey has tried his skill in private, and has discovered that the old dash is lacking. He has been out of the ring for some time now, and inactivity never did any box CT much good.

JOHNSON GAVE WINK.
Says Sam McVey-WiII Not Say He
 Laid Down.

That Jack Johnson winked while taking the count in the alleged K. O. passed him by Jess Willard at Hay ana, and that today the negro is by far the better man and could easily fight, was the statement made by Sam McVey, who boxed Joe Jeanette recen- ly, who was a second in the form CT champions corner.
 "Johson,' said McVey recently in discussing the big mill, acted mighty peculiar at times When he first ar hard, but as the date for the fight with Willard approached. Jack slacked off in his training, did no road work and appeared content to go into the ring hog fat. I spoke to him about it several times, that he would never be able to go 45 rounds, but Jack would only smile and say, T am not worry ing
 "The fight itself was a slow one, de- spite what has been said about it. WI lard is no boxer, and for the greater part of the mill could not land a punch Johnson brushed off his blows as he would flies and peppered Jess at will. I didn't keep count, but I doubt if Jess landed six clean blows in the whole 26 rounds, and none of these appeared to
  came back to the corner he told me he wasn't hurt a bit.
 q am not going to say that Johnson laid down in the 18th round, but he acted very funny. Right after the 25th he tipped off one of the seconds that something was going to happen. The tip was given to Mrs. Johnson, also to the moving picture men and they gave their cameras most careful attention
 Jack went out smiling in the 26th didn't attempt to defend himself, and finally Willard managed to land a clumsy swing on his ear. Jack went down for the count fost picturesquely. He so arranged his fall to the convas that it took place in Wiilard's corner where we could not reach him wHh the ice water, and just in front of the movie machines. He sort of slid down, slow and graceful, covered his eyes to keep out the sun, and took the count, winking to those in his corner while the referee was toiling off the numer- als. It was certainly one of the most artistic affairs for a knockout I have fighting and took the count to escape lard's blow actually boosted him over I do not know. He certainly winked, however, when on the floor
 McVey figures that Willard will not last long as a champion if he goes back into the active ring game He is a good, clean chap" said McVey, but I consider that either Frank Moran or Jim Coffey has a chance to beat him. Moran is a far better boxer, can hit a hard blow, while Coffey Is a big tough and also a punisher.'

SWIMMING TITLE
NOT TO BE DECIDED.
Yafe's Attempts to Clear the Matter
 Useless.

Despite Yales' efforts to bring to an Issue the triangular tie reached in the post-scason series of meets for the Intercollegiate swimming champion ship, 1t begins to look as if the title might not beeawarded at all this sea- son
 The authorities at Columbia are not Tn favor of any more competition claiming that since the recent attempt to split the tie by extra meets proved fruitless there can be no reason to ar- range a third tournament, which nigh. again result as the others
 The Philadelphia watermen are also opposed to further trials, which would force the men to stay in training. and seem quite satisfied to let matters stand as they are.
 Under the circumstances it Is prob able that if the league officials cali for another round robin both Columbia and Pennsylvania will decide to for felt, giving the Ellis an empty and meaningless title. This, of course, is not what Yale wants, and rather than accept laurels unyvon, the New Haven team will most likely abandon all eff forts to have the question of suprema- cy settled.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
INDUSTRIAL STOCKS FEATURE.
War SpeciaIties Steadily Mounted to
 Higher Prices.

New York, April 3O.-War de- velopments and the shares of various equipment and industrial companies now actively engaged in filling war contracts transcended all other consid- orations in today's stock market An nouncement of the bombardment of Dunkirk by the Germans caused an abrupt reversal of upward tendencies in the early session, except in the war specialties, which steadily mounted to higher prices. though closing with moderate recessions from best quota ticns.
 Westinghouse Electric far outshone all other stocks in the class, making a maximum gain of 10 points and a net gain of 8, closing at -106, as against last weeks final price of 87. Transactions in Westinghouse today 22 per cent. of the days total busi- ness and 60 per cent. of it's outstand- ing common stock.
 New York Air Brake, General Elec- tric, American Locomotive, Baldwin Locomotive, Lackawanna Steel, Press ed Steel Car, American Can and some of the motor concerns which are prof iting as a result of foreign orders rose three to eight points, while the shares of gas and other utility com panies rose in proportion.
 Potential leaders, including the div lQen0 paying ra1lrOa0S, the COpp0rS ana United States Steel were relatively dull and backward, with heavy selling in the final hour. Minor railway is- sues were stronger, Missouri, Kansas and Texas Common and preferred, as well as the bonds and notes. making smart advances, on accordance of the extension plan. Canadian Pacific was weak throughout, it's decline being attributed to foreign selling. Lon don's market was described as Hstless, with light demand for the information al group.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 98O,900 shares.
 Reading reported a net gain of SPOT, 900 for March, but Union Pacific lost s2S5.000 and Missouri Pacific $393,000. Gross figures for the cur rent month point to better railway re- turns from this period.
 Tomorrow's bank statement is like ly to show a further cash gain, local institutions having received large sums from the interior. Rates for the time loans held at recent low quota tions.
 Bonds were irregular today, with gains in speculative issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated $5,600, 900.

BIG DAY AT TRINITY.
Various Kinds of Sports Carded for Today-McKay Will Try His Luck on Cinder Path.

Trinity baseball, tennis and track athletes are ready for the triple con test carnival this afternoon at Trinity field when the baseball team meets New York university at 3.30 o'clock,
 the track team meets Worcester Poly
 technic institute in the first dual meet
 of the year at 2 o'clock, and the tennis team clashes with Tufts racquet wield-
 CTS on the Trinity courts at 2.30 o'clock. All of the men are eager and
 anxious for the fray and the feeling is prevalent that it will be a Trinity day
 at the hill with a clean sweep in all
 departments.
 The tennis men opened their season at New York last Saturday, losing to the strong Columbia team, to l, but
 the work this week has shown much
 improvement in service and returning, so that stiff opposition will be fur
 nished the Tufts athletes at all stages of the contest While Captain EdSall i has not as yet picked the Trinity team, there will probably be a choice from Captain EdSall, Abbe Niles, Ted Peck, Paul Harding and Manager Mitchell. Manager Jack Townsend announced Thursday the entries for the dual track meet with Worcester Tech. The list of men competing on both teams in the var1ous field, track and weight events shows that the meet will be hotly contested throughout and that probably the winner will not be decid- ed until the final event has been con- cluded. While Crehore has been en- | tered in several events, including the | mile and two mile runs, for which he holds the college records, the fact that he was on crutches Thursday leaves | little doubt he will not be in fit condi- | ton to compete today.
 The 440 yard dash is always one oI the prettiest races to watch and to- day will prove no exception to the rule when Captain F'urnivail of the
 Trinity team and Kicker of Worcester Tech line up at the mark. While Trinitys' leader pulled a tendon short time ago, this fact is not expected to bother him much. He is also entered l for the half mile. Eddie Mckay, sec
 ond baseman on the baseball team, who travels pretty fast on both the dia- mond and cindered circle, has been practicing all week in this event and may prove a surprise.

KAUFF MAY NOT DON GIANT UNIFORM
astern Club Presidents of National League Held Meeting Consensus of Opinion Seems to be That Kauff Will be Returned to Brooklyn Federas-Presdent Hampstead Showed That He Had Received Clear Title of the Player From Indianapolis A. A. C.

New York. April so.-Benny Kauff. the star outfielder of the Brooklyn Federal League club. who caused a furore in baseball circles yesterday by jumping to the New York National League club, may not appear again in a New York uniform The consen- sus of baseball opinion seemed to be that Kauff would be returned to the Brooklyn Federals before another. 44 hours.
 President John K. Tener of the Na- tional league. telegraphed to President Ward of the Brooklyn Federals:
 Answering your wire of yesterday. relative to the Kauff incident, you are advised that the player in question will not be permitted to play in the National league at this time.
 A meeting of all the eastern club presidents of the National league was offices. Those present in addition to President Tener, were President Hampstead and Secretary Foster of New York; President Gaffney of Boston; President Dreyfuss of Pitts burg; President Ebbetts of Brooklyn and President Banker of Philadelphia.
 Them eettng was taken up in the discussion of the Kauff affair. the New York men trying to show the league that they were justified in signing Kauff, President Hampstead showed that he had received a clear title to the player from the Indianapolis American association club, from which club Kauff originally Jumped.
 The New York club took the view that if it was all right for organized baseball clubs to play against Wingo, Perritt. Caldwell, Johnson and Austin, men who jumped to the Federal league and back, even though they ap- peared in no Federal League games, there was no reason why these clubs should refuse to play against Kauff, merely because he broke a minor league reserve clause, while Caldwell, Johnson and others jumped optional agreements with their clubs, which are construed as contracts. It was point ed out that such players were taken back without fine.
 President Tener, however, held that rule 20 of the national commission's s code, was violated, which says a play CT jumping a reserve cannot apply for reinstatement until three years after his offense
 Though the New York club still contends that it has legal title to Kauff, President Hampstead wrote a letter to President Ward tonight, in which the matter was told that he could have the player back if he could
Norwich bulletin., 1915-05-01

show he had legal title to him.
 'srhe two clubs thoroughly under stand each other" said Secretary Fos- ter of the Giants, tonight. Even though our claim to Kauff is entirely legal, there is no use in keeping hf%, and paying him big money, when our associates will not let us play him. There is nothing in 1t for US to keep Kauff for some later date. when he might be declared eligible"
 The Federal league will hold meet ing here tomorrow to discuss the sit- uation.
 Richard Carroll, business manager of the Brooklyn Federals tonight of fered Kauff a check for $192.2O. Kauff had already drawn $474.47 on his first salary check. which called for $666.67 under the $6,000 per annum contract, which Carroll and Kauff signed in the south last month. It Is this contract which Kauff alleged President Ward of Brooklyn repudiated.
 The New York Nationals tonight re- leased Pitcher Fred Cook to the To- ronto Internationals. Pitcher Press recently sent to Jersey City was re- turned by that club.
