But Names, Like Appearances Are Dccciving and Clarence Row
 land is No Percy, No Sir.

Activity on the part of Clarence Rowland, the new SoX leader, helped Dubuque, la, secure it's municipal baseball park, the only one in the country. He always has been lead irg spirit in the promotion of big sporting events around his home town. On one occasion he was chosen to act as referee at boxing show in East Dubuque. The main bout, a clash between a local celebrity and an outsider, was fixed so that the visitor would win by a knockout, which would have enable the invad- CTS packers to clean up a neat sum of money bet on the mill.
 In the fourth round the home fight CT went to the canvas, as per arrange ment Rowland didn't like the looks of the Knock kout" however, so instead of counting he yelled at the prostrate boxer. Get up and fight, you big stiff or I'll lick both of you." Clarence's reputation was such that the faker preferred to take chance against the other man instead, and the bout went ten rounds. Then Rowland held up the purse on the ground that the fight was a fake. His friends backed him up and the money went to char ity

IT'S A MANLY SPORT. Therefore High School Girls May
 Not Watch Boxing.

Boston, Jan. 7.-Waltham High school girls no more will be allowed to witness their boy classmates pum- mel each other with padded mitts in the school gymnasium and there will be no more pubic boxing bouts be- tween schoolboy pugilists by a de- cision of the Waltham school commit tee reached recently after a rather lively session. In fact, boxing may be tabooed altogether in the High school.
 Such action was prompted by the storm of protest which followed the first boxing and wrestling session of the school year, held Thursday after neon and witnessed by the girls with much interest.

PIERCE ABSENT TO-DAY.
Accordingly Case Against Steve RusiCk
 Has to Be Once More Postponed.


 Leland T. Pierce, chief witness against Steve Rusick, who is charged with stealing an overcoat and suit of clothes from the formers place of business and who yesterday double crossed the police by pleading not guilty after assuring them that he would take his medicine, failed to put in an appearance at court today. This morning Rusick was willing to plead guilty, but in lieu of the witness the case had to be continued and will come up again on Saturday, when De- tectve Sergeant Santora, of Hartford, will also be present to testify.
 AS it was not convenient for either Judge M Meskill or Judge Mangan to be in court this morning, former judge, John H. Kirkham, occupied the bench.

! fected a settlement with the Tower

fected a settlement with the Towers.
The former suit is still pending.
Il was two years ago, in February,
when young Tower was a senior at
Yale that reports of his marriage
gained circulation. The university fac
ulty made inquiries and the student
declared the stories were malicious lies.
The young woman retorted that in her
mothers home, on June 7. 1911, he had
signed marriage agreement with her:
She also said that he gave her gold
wedding ring inscribed &C. 7. TO G. b.
The secrecy of the arrangement was
attributed to the rules of Yale, where
marriage automatically sewers stu
dents connection with the university.
Tower was permitted to complete his
course, but his degree was withheld.
It was announced that this was due to
scholastic deficiencies. He had always
been considered a studious young man.
Grounds for the suit filed to-day have
not been made public, but it is believed
that desertion will be charged. The
plaintiff is said 10 receive an income
from several estates.

WRATH AND DELAY
IN DUNPHY CASE
Kingsbury Will Appoint Own
Physicians to Pass On
Her Illness.

Although it took Elihu Root, jr., only
twenty minutes to arrange for the
postponement of Mrs. Mary c. Dun
phys hearing before Charities Com
missioner Kingsbury yesterday, the
Commissioner became very indignant
before the debate was ended, and Mr.:
Root narrowly escaped being ordered
from the Office.
Mrs. Dunphy, who is suspended as
superintendent Of Randall's Island, did
not appear. Mr.. Root presented GER
tifcate from Drs. j. Byrne and Michael
c. O'Brien that Mrs. Dunphy's condi-
ton demanded complete rest for at
least a month.
as counsel aware that when Mrs
Dunphy has been submitted TO charges,
even in previous administrations, she
has always been too i'll to attend hear
:rgs on them" asked Mr.. Kingsbury
And do you know that since the first
postponement for i'll health | have had
word from another physician, who has
seen her up and around the house,
Mr. Root admitted that Mrs. Dunphy
had been able to sit up a few times
but asserted that she was too weak
even to go downstairs.
Mr. Kingsbury suggested that he ap-
point two doctors TO examine Mrs
Dunphy and adjourn the hearing until
Thursday to await their report.
ut is we'll known that the Commits.
sioner has removed the entire medical
staff on the island because they were
not subservient to his Wishes" Mr.
Root said. Therefore it would be i'm
possible for counsel or for the public
to believe the report of two physicians
appointed by the Commissioner. We
would be satisfied only if the appoint
ment was made on recommendation OF
the County Medical Association"
This hearing was not called to en-
able counsel to reiterate his insults
to the Commissioner" was Mr.. Kings
bury's retort, as he half rose from
his chair in anger. You have no
standing in this hearing. II you have
nothing but insult to offer, you may
leave the room. The Commissioner will
act as he sees fit. lie will appoint two
physicians and act on their report"
"Then the hearing is adjourned until
Thursday morning." was Mr.. Roots
final question.

WAR SISTER SEEKS DEATH
Brother at Front, Orphan Girl
Takes Poison.

Worried because she had not heard
for months from her only brother, who
was in the English army on the Cont
nent, Elizabeth McGowan, an orphan,
who lives at 498 East 139th Street, at.
tempted suicide last evening by drink
ing poison.
Just before supper time the girl left
the room in which her aunt, Mrs. Mar
garet McMulen, was sitting. A minute
later her cousin, Leonard, in passing
the bathroom, saw her with the bottle
at her lips. He struck the flask from
her hand and called for help. While
Mrs. McMulen sent for an ambulance
her daughter, Mary, administered anti
dotes to the girl, who struggled against
taking them.
Elizabeth was taken to the Lincoln
Hospital. She will live. She is under
arrest as an attempted suicide.
