GOOD FIGHT DRAWS
ONLY SMALL CROWD

There was comparatively small
crowd at the Bradley last night to wit
ness the return match between Eddie
Huse and Kid Carter. who fought Il
nine-round draw at the Gaiety last
Tuesday night. Those who attended
were given their moneys worth, how
ever, for the fight was fast and furious
from the beginning TO the end. AS on
the previous occasion the bout was dc.
clared a draw.
iIusc Is heavier that the Kid and Is
more scientific. but the latter is quick
nj covering. and the formers heavy
blows seemed 10 have but little effect
Huse forced the fight up TO the eighth
round, and then the Kid assumed the
aggressive. He cvched things up in
the last two rounds, and Referee Run
YAH declared the fight draw. Both
the boys are tough. hard fighters. and
neither is afraid of punishment They
gave splendid exhibition.
One OF the preliminaries was be-
tween two local lads, and II was the
worst tiasco ever seen. The referee
told them to fade away early in the
second round, and they faded.
The other preliminary was between
Puggy Morton and Puggy Wilson, and
II was n fairly good card. Morton ear
ly proved that he was entirely too
much for his opponent, and In the
third round punished him severely.
Wilson went down and took the count
In the third. It looked as though lie
might have stayed a little longer. but
I 1t was just as well that he went out
when he did, for ne would undoubte edlS
nave been put away in the next round
An effort will be- made now to get

together. Both are top.nOtchers. clev.

close in, for the boys. These things
would be fine. indeed, and the results
would astonish and crafty the public.
1t Is pleasing to learn that the boys Of
the State Industrial Home have a big
swimming pool, 80 by 50 feet, for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-
The fear that IL present peace

But President Wilson intends

Both President Wilson and Sec
rotary Lansing have decided ia
maintain discreet silence on this
topic. This Is due, 1t is believed
to the fact that they do not wish
to appear to be wearing a chip on
the shoulder when peace Is being
talked with even slight hope OF
success.
Notes We're Warning
There Is now no mistaking, Of

ents and the two subsequent Eek

in effect, constituted warning
against any unbridled acts of war
that would involve American lives

The warning is generally inter
preted as being directed chiefly
against the central powers whose
submarines have not only de-
stroyed and endangered Ameri-
can lives, but have also destroyed
American property. admittedly in
violation of all rules of humanity
and international warfare.
No More Note Writing
One authority repeated that
there will be no more note writing
to Germany; and he indicated that
IL Germany cuts loose with her
submarines, following probable
failure of the peace negotiations,
then a break must inevitably
come, in keeping with the Ameri-
can Sussex note threat.
Whether there will be an extra
session of congress after March
4, depends in a large measure on
the prospects of peace in Europe.
Best information today was that
President Wilson will desire to
have the national legislature in
session If there is any indication
between now and the time of the
close of the present congress that
peace is possible.

SEATTLE, Dec. 2S. = That
there should be a substantial re-

est rate now imposed upon de-
Nnquent general taxes and local
improvement assessments was the
almost unanimous opinion of a
meeting of representatives of va
rious civic organizations and
members of the state legislature
with the legislative committee OF
the Seattle Real Estate associa-
ton in the Good Eats cafeteria
last evening.
The meeting discussed the pro-
visions of bill designed to effect
a decrease In the rate, which was
formulated by a committee of the
real estate men. his bill would
reduce the rate on delinquent
taxes and assessments to Z pei
cent.
There was disagreement as to
what would constitute an equit-
able reduction in the rate. James
Boutwell, said that to make Sc
great a reduction in the rate as
to take away penalty for delin-
quency would be to encourage the
non-payment of taxes. and he ia
vored rate of IL or. at the low
est, 10 per cent. Most of those

ranging from Z to 10 per cent
