MORAN WANTS BOUT
 WITH JESS WILLARD.

WITH JESS WILLARD.
 NEW YORK-When referee Bill Brown stopped the last punch that Frank Moran had aimed at poor Jim Coffey in Madison Square Gar den recently, he left Moran in . position to flirt with a nice young fortune Coffey was whipped and whipped fairly. True, he got up on his feet at the count of seven, but he didn't know where he was He turned his back to Moran and stood looking out at the crowd in a dazed sort of way, holding onto the ropes in the meantime to steady himself
 Had Moran been allowed to hi; him again with one of his powerful blows Coffey might have been killed.
 And now, ye dopesters, what of the big Pittsburg blond? What chance has he to beat Jess Willard? Cut out the argument that Jess is too big for Moran Size counts for little among the heavies. They weren't too pig for Choynsld when he held Jeffries to a stubborn 20 round draw. Joe Walcott, pugilis- tic demitasse. fought the best of the giants. Didn't Gunboat Smitn, a man weighing fifteen pounds less than Jess, whip the giant cowboy in Frisco? Tom McMahon, a little middleweight whipped him, too There are hundreds Of fights of the lop-sided order that could be men toned.
 This thing stands out in Morans favor He can hit beautiful belt with his righ: and his left has the power to topple them over, too. Many wondered why Moran didn't use his left more. He contented himself with slowly forcing his way forward with his left hand stiffly extended He didn't hit with it, in a-t n most lie did was to poke it in Coffey's face and, to prove that Coffey lacks a head, it must be said that he didn't have sense enough to knock down the left or even shove 1t aside.
 saw Moran at his hotel after the fight The question came up, why hadn't he stung COffey with his left a little more? Moran spoke up instantly: You see that?" he said, showing his left hand into the light. You see the back of that hand? We'll, it's swelled to twice its natural size, isn't it? That's why I didn't use it. hurt it in training"
 Ike Dorgan. his manager and even Willie Lewis his trainer, gasped in astonishmentr
 T knew you'd all be surprised said Moran. T hurt 1t several days ago, but I didn't tell any of you about it. That's one secret I would not unfold even to my brother It would have been pretty nice for Coffey if ne could have entered that ring knowing that he, the ia vorite had only a onearmed man to whip I may have used bad judgment going in there in a crip- pied condition, but l knew l had his number. Any man with glass jaw has no business in there spark ing with my right.
 Willard is tall. So is Coffey. It didn't take but two punches to bring down his guard and his jaw and then it was over. Well, Jess can be hit just as hard, harder, perhaps, because it is a sure thing that he isn't as fast as Coffey. If l can hit him In the middle you needn't worry but that his jaw will come down to my level. l want him and l want him soon."
 Moran will soon meet Coffey again If he wins the match 1t is probable that he will be given the chance to meet Willard at New

NOYES SENDS GOOD NEWS ID
 DEP0S|T0RS
RECEIVER OF WA BANK SAYS THAT CASES WILL COME
 TO TRIAL.

That the cases instituted in Seat tie in connection with the Washing ton-Alaska bank matter will come to trial, Is the good news for the depositors of the defunct institution gently by George w. Pennington from F. G. Moves, the receiver. The letter states that the cases are pro gressing satisfactorily and that they will probably come to trial some time in March.
 The suits in question are those against E. L. Webster, John Schrarl and w. H. Parsons, former directors of the WA bank. They were brought by Receiver Moves to recover money paid to them, as directors of the Washington-Alaska bank, by the Fairbanks Banking company.
 Fernand de Journel and a firm of Seattle attorneys are working on the cases. Immediately after they were filed numerous demurrers, etc, were presented by the attor- neys for the defense, but they have 1 all been overruled according to MT. Noyes' letter.
 1 Some doubt as to whether or no the cases ever could be brought to trial has been expressed by Fair banks attorneys Others were of the opinion that such action as is now being taken by MT. Moves, should have been taken in the be- ginning, or immediately after the i Washington-Alas bank failed.
 Before leaving Fairbanks last sun- mer, MT. de Journel expressed him self as satisfied that he could win the cases, provided he could get them brought to trial. He stated that the law shows clearly that the payment of any sum of money un- der the circumstances to Messrs. Webster, Schram and Parsons was illegal, and that in his opinion, 1t should be returned to the depositors of the defunct bank.
 O. Itow, a Japanese, has received his second sentence of death by an Alaskan judge. The first sentence was passed by Judge Peter D. Over field at Juneau in 1913, The case was appealed to the supreme court but the mandate of that court af- firms the decision of Judge Over field, consequently Itow has again been sentenced, by Judge Jennings Itow was convicted of murdering Frank Dunn, of Toledo, Washington, at the Northwestern Fisheries cent panys cannery at Dundas Bay, in 1912.

He received a military training, and from 1891 to 1895 was the Heutenant-coloneI commanding the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, but since then he has devoted himself lived the life of country gentleman, hunting and shooting being his princi- pal recreations. His four sons were educated for the army, and one of them has already been enrolled among the. heroes who have given up their lives for King and country Cap tain Lord Richard Wellesley, his sec ond son, was killed early in the war. Lord Richard was serving with the Grenadier Guards when he met his death.

Park Board Fails To
 Take Action on Plan
 To Close South Avenue

No action was taken at the meeting of the park board last night regarding the petition of the Crane Co. for clos ing South avenue from Iranistan ave- nue to Barnum Dyke and iBarnum Dyke from South avenue to Wa1de- mere avenue. The matter was dis cussed informally however. The Crane Co. has made a proposition to extend Atlantic street through a DOT ton of ''The Flats which it claims to Wald dernere avenue.
 President George M.. Flames and Clinton Barnunn See1ey of the park commission rather favor the plan. Charles Stuart Garfield, vice-president of the board and other members are opposed to it. Many residents and property owners in the South End are also. opposed. In fact, in the public hearings held on the matter, only rep resentatives of the Crane Go. spoke in favor of it. MT. See1ey, who has just returned from the South, was not at the meeting last night. Because all members of the board were not pres ent it was voted to defer action and a, special meeting will be called to take up the matter before the meeting of the common council Monday night when the streets and sidewalks com Inittee will report. Spring planting in the parks and additional flower beds at Beards1ey park were discussed and the bills approved.

WALLACE IRWIN FAMOUS WRITER
 IS Al TO-DAY

Wallace Irwin, the creator of Hash imura Togo" will to-day watch the annual yearly date of his birthday approach, and it is possible that he may enjoy pain in connection with
 his memory at the idea that he has now attained the mature age of forty one, statistics in honorable volume of Who's It. explaining that One Ida, New York, are origin of Hon. Wallace on date of March Is, in historical time of 1875. Such melancholy thoughts, conjured up by the passing of the years, may not afflict MT. Irwin to- day, however, since he is now enroll ed among the happy tripe of Newly weds. Mrs. Wallace Irwin was Miss Laetitia Mcdonald of Louisville prior to her marriage last January, and was prominent in the society of the Ken lucky metropolis. She is the author of several vaudeville sketches and has won success in other literary endeav- ors. As MT. Irwin has amassed a snug fortune during his career as a writer, there will be no necessity for Mrs. Irwin to be ttempIoyed for Gen. Cookery at domestic kitchen" This is not MT. Irwins first venture into matrimony, as he married in 1901 Miss Grace Luce of San Diego, Cal. Will Irwin, Wa1lace's literary brother, is also a Newlywed, his wife having been Mrs. Inez Haynes Gilmore, a well known writer. Will Irwin's first wife, California woman, divorced him in 1907. The second Mrs. Will Irwin had also had experience in the divorce courts, having obtained free dom from the bonds which united her to MT. Gilmore about a year ago.
 The Irwin brothers. have both been very successful in literature, although Wallace is the best known. His Hash inura Togo stories have been widely read all over the world, and have won high praise from competent critics as representing American huInor at it's best. Although poor Hashimura has not acquitted himself very gloriously as a servant, he has a multitude of admirers, and doubtless the benign and affab1e Japanese youth has helped great deal to overcome hte fears aroused by those who have been preaching about the yellow peril" Wallace Irwin, like his brother, be- gan his career as a reported on San Francisco newspapers. He was a stu dent for three years at Stanford Uni versity, but did not graduate.

Hamburg Retailers
 Raise Cigar Prices

Hamburg, March 15-Manufactur- CTS and retailers have increased the price of cigars because of the further rise in Dutch exchange. The cigar that formerly retailed for 15 pfennigs, is sold today for 16, and on the more expensive grades the advance is greater.
 The German tobacco market, of which Hamburg is the center, had large supplies of tobacco on hand when the war began but these were used up about a year ago and since then Germany has been obliged to de- pend chiefly upon such tobacco as came in from Holland. In addition to the increase caused by the rise in Dutch exchange, there may be still further advances because there is talk of a higher rate upon tobacco in all forms.

 It seems quite certain that the strong feeling of the country as to the unfairness of the existing system of recruiting has compelled the gov ernment to reconsider it's position but whether the revised policy looks in the direction of application of com puIsion to married and single men alike is still unknown.
