WILLARD THE VICTOR
ON POINTS OVER MORAN

Madison Square Garden, New
York, March 25.-Jess Willard out
pointed Frank Moran in their ten
round smuggling match which was
staged here tonight before $4,000
spectators, which made up the larg-
est crowd that ever saw an indoor
pugilistic contest in New York State.
The champions best fighting was
done from the third round on, de-
spite the fact that he broke his right
hand during that period. A small
bone on the back part of the hand
was fractured when he shot a right
smash to Moran's jaw. No one in
the vast audience knew of Wizards
mishap until the battle was over.
The bout was a surprise. inasmuch
as both men battled as hard as they
could from gong to gong. Moran
was the aggressor in all but two
rounds, and he frequently rushed
the champion to the ropes. However,
his timing was poor and he exhibited
but little boxing skill.

in wages with its consequent reduc-
ton in tonnage.
We believe that our proposition,
rather than being harmful to our
employees, will in the end be helpful.
This can be substantiated by refer
ence to public records, briefly sum-
married. as follows From 1912,
the year in which We made our last
advance In wages, to 1916 inclusive,
organized labor in our employ lost
to competitive non-union fields, by
whom we are surrounded, an aggre-
gate tonnage amounting to 2.S5S,-
400. This loss is directly traceable,
as We see it, to competitive labor
conditions. This loss in tonnage has
grown, in the four years referred to.
from 445,OO0 tons in 1912 to L.
$4,000 tons in 1915, which, rough
ly estimated, represents loss to
the miners Of our operators of ap-
proximately one and three-quartar
million dollars, which, under a COM
petitive wage scale. together with
its revenue, would have held in our
territory.
This mornings papers credit to
the miners organization a statement
to the effect that the proposed re-
duction would show a loss to labor
of $4,000, and the increase pro-
posed by the miners would only
show them gain of $4,000. Even
under the reduction asked by the
operators, the increased tonnage
brought to the field, by being placed
on a competitive basis, would show
a large increase of earnings to the
miners in the aggregate.
For instance, recovery Of the ton
mage lost in 1915 would show an in
creased revenue of 10000 to the
miners; whereas. another year I'M
der present conditions, would show
a loss to our miners in a constantly
increasing ratio, which, at a conser-
vative estimate. would be in tie
neighborhood of 100000.
Since the 1912 advance in wages
ten mines in our district have been
closed down and are not now being
operated.

CIGARETTES CUT MARKS
OF BOYS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Lexington, KY, March 25.-At
least fifty students in the Lexington
High School will probably fail to
graduate this year on account of the
effects of cigarette smoking, was the
declaration made in a communica-
ton from the city School Board
sent to George Land, Commissioner
of Public Safety. urging the latter
to use his utmost efforts to enforce
the laws prohibiting the sale of Gig
arettes to minors. 1t is stated in the
communication that the grand jury
found that cigarettes could be easily
purchased in Lexington by minors,
but 1t Is suggested that as there is
little profit in selling cigarettes the
dealers might be induced to volun-
tarily be more careful in observing
the law. In many cases, the COM
recites. the cigarettes
are bought By older persons for
boys, but as the law prohibits the
possession of cigarettes by boys un-
der Is years. the police might learn
who had furnished the cigarettes by
immunity to the boys for
telling.

A WORD TO THE POULTRY
POOLERS OF OHIO COUNTY

No one can doubt or dispute but
that we have advanced the price on
poultry in several different counties
this year by pooling or collectively
selling and we find that we have the
same thing to contend with when we
try to combine the other counties
with Ohio, that we had when We
were trying to fight the battle alone.
We find that men who would not bid
strong and other who would not
bind themselves to the contract at
all, are now offering more on the
delivery days than the pool sold for.
I would like to ask why any man
can not see through their motive.
urge all farmers and poolers to
stand firm by the man that bid the
highest and not sell your honor,
your birthright, for the small sum
of zoe to the hundred pounds of
hens. You remember what a hard
fight We had when we begun in this
county? Can't you see what we
gained by sticking to the pool then?
So let us stand firm and deliver the
goods to the pool car, regardless of
what the other people offer. Now
let us be men of honor who will
stand for our rights and principles
men who will not sell their neigh
bors and friends at any price.
To those who have never signed
a pledge will say that you can pool
till the day you deliver, and that
there will not be a cent collected
from you. The per cent. is paid by
the purchaser and this price is net
to you. HENRY M. PIRTLE,
County Sec'y.

President Wilson in a boarding
house at Canonsburg near here to-

from a window to escape, but was
caught and Jailed. Both men were
naturalized Greeks and Argeris is
devoted to his adopted country.
Sillas, during a war argument,
criticised the Presidents foreign
policy and applied a vile epithet to
the head of the Nation. Argeris at
once fired. Sillas was hit twice. one
bullet piercing his heart and another
him in the groin. The last
bullet glanced and struck Petro Pc
dires, infiicting a serious wound.

VICIOUS INFLUENCES WORKING

Washington, March 26.-While
the administration officials describe
the military situation in Mexico as
serene, yesterdays developments in
Washington forecast political
struggle here this week with the ad-
ministration's Mexican policy the
center.
President Wilson issued warn
ing to the people not to be influence
ed by alarmist reports regarding the
situation, which he said are being
disseminated by sinister and I'M
scrupulous influences and in the
interest of certain owners of Mex
lean properties" He reiterated that
every effort should be made to pre-
vent the punitive operations from
assuming in public discussion the
color of war.
AS he wrote President Wilson had
before him the most reassuring ad-
vices from the border since the
American columns began the pursuit
of Villa. They were sent by Gen.
Funston and satisfied the army Of
ficials that the Carranza government
is doing all in its power to aid in
the pursuit.
At the Capitol the Senate Repub-
licans were called into conference
by their leader, Senator Gallinger,
to discuss the border situation:
They win meet again Monday, but it
was admitted by those present that
the sense of the meeting was that
steps should be taken to compel the
sending of additional troops to
guard the border States, in effect
meaning the calling out of the ma
tional guard.
Officials welcomed the report from
Queretaro, the present seat of gov
eminent of Mexico, that favorable
tecision on the proposed protocol
had been handed by Gen. Carranza
to the American Special Representa-
tive Rodgers.
- President Wilson is said to be de-
Armined to stop the circulation Of
the inflammatory rumors and to
take legal steps If necessary. The
use of the law against the publica-
tion of reports tending to incite EAR
son and riot" tightening of the CEN
sorship on Mexican news and warn
ing army officers on the border
against giving out unconfirmed re-
ports, are all under consideration by
administration officials.
With the report of the Herrera
revolt positively denied by American
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua City
and with rumors of impending Dor
der disturbances received from unof-
fetal sources by members of Con-
gress, discounted by reassuring Of
fetal advices from points just be-
yond the Mexican border, appre-
hension aroused in official circles by
the disquieting reports had COM
pletely subsidized.
President Wilson himself probab-
ly will issue the expected official
statement on alarmist reports from
the Mexican border instead of hav-
ing Secretary Lansing do 1t, as was
at first planned. The President and
the Cabinet are so convinced that
certain reports are part of a propa-
ganda to force a general interven-
tion in Mexico that it was decided
the subject was of sufficient import
ence to deal with personally.

Francisco Villa has escaped from

columns of American cavalry are
pursuing him.
Already they are almost $50 miles
south of the border. and unless Mex

to stand, this distance will be
greatly increased by the close Of the
week.
Villas success in eXtricating HIM
self from the dangerous position
into which he had been driven by

Pershing that reached Gen. Funston
here to-day.
Gen. Funston forwarded the re-

public any but the essential fea-

Col. Dodd is commanding the adj

American cavalrymen somewhere in
