WILLARD-MORAN BATTLE
 STARTS ROW IN NEW YORK

Special to Gateway by United Pressj
 NEW YORK, April 7.-The seventh round of the Williard-Moran battle in Madison Square Garden March 9 was fast, but not half as fast as the fight talk the fans are now induIging in to- day.
 Buzz, buzz, buzz, Willard this, Will lard that, Moran this, Moran that, goes the gossip where the ringside fantails and the rafter railbirds fore gather. The bout busted the gossip wide open. Some think it was a great fight, some think it was rotten; some are for ten round championship bouts every week others think they should be abolished altogether
 "As a result of the brutal, degrad- ing exhibition of the brute in man at the WiIlard-Moran fight" boxing should forever be abolished in New York, says one clan.
 "The bout showed conclusively that the city wants boxing and wants it  bad. To give the people what they pay for the state should at once per init twenty-round bouts with decis- ions," is the conclusion of another
 In between is host, and each of the host has an idea of his own. Out of the turmoil a few things stand plain. The mill shook New York as no fight in history has. Tom Jones, whose man Willard got away with more than half a hundred thousand dollars, thinks 1t was a wonderful fight, perfectly staged and arranged and he would like to see things like it recur frequently.
 Moran hasn't any kick.
 The persons who think it was worth the money are those who paid to see it. The persons kicking the hardest didn't see the mill and probably don't know whether the scrappers used their feet or their hands.

MANY GOOD FEATURES
IN LYRICS NEW SHOW

Sensation. laughter and hlthe mu-
sic combined to make the new show
that came to the Lyric yesterday a
genuine delight to patrons of vaude-
Vile.
The bill fairly bristies with stel-
lar features, almost any one OF which
might serve ereditably as a head
line act for big time bill
orvtile Stamm. the eighteen-year-
old youth, who Is endowed by ma
ture. with degree of muscular
strength that seems uncanny, gave
one of the most remarkable exhibi-
tons ever seen here in vaudeville,
Young Stamm. veritahle modern
Sampson In physique, lifted by the
strength Of his bare arms large
horse. He supported on his Shout
ders and knees an ordinary plano,
with a man sitting at the Keyboard.
While he bore the weight of the pi-
ano and the man he sang song.
There was never CULVER in his voice,
nor did he sound a false note or miss
a single note
Another astonishing feat was
Stamm's original style of performing
on a violin. While he drew the bow
across the strings Of the instrument
his bow arm supported the weight
OF a sixty pound Russian bulldog
One OF the greatest laughing
sketches seen here In long time
was THE Awakening of Mr.. Pipp,''
in which H. B. Toomer and Grace
Gordon played the leading charac-
ters. The troubles OF the conviviai
lawyer, who finds himself m bed with
a ragged, greasy, unkempt tral IN
awakening after might out with
the boys" is told In an irres3ssibly
comic way. Toomer gave a capital
impersonation of Mr.. Ptpp and was
ably assisted by Miss Gordon, who
has the role of the scolding, but for
giving wife
Lou Lockett and Jack Waldron

dive had a gay old time. Why should
we have worried? Whenever he want
ed money he merely pledged some OF
his Suez Canal stock with his bank
ers and got all the money he wanted.
Now, Great Britain was very anxious
to secure control Of, the canal. The
Earl OF Beaconsfield, who was then
Prime Minister, instructed the Houss
of Rothschild in London to obtain, II
possible, control of the canal by vtr-
tue of stock ownership. The all
mighty sovereign went travelling. and
the most beautiful international dane
ing girls and singers found their way
to Cairo. The old gentleman needed
moro money and more money until
one day some as per cent of the Suez
Canal stock was pledged with the
bankers as security for his loans The
climax was near at hand. A legatee
from Downing Street was sent to
Cairo and the Khedive was coaxed TO
go to London, where his well-known
propensities were amply satisfied. He
came to London, ? seriously compro-
missed himself with a well-known
courtesan and an international scan
dial threatened This time 1t involved
q big sum of money. In his dire
plight, the Khedive appealed tn the
House of Rothschild for a loan. The
loan was granted with the proviso
that the balance of his stock hold
ings in the Suez Canal Company
should be turned over to the bankers
as collateral for the loan. When the
loan became due ultimately. the Khe-
dive could not pay and the bankers
foreclosed upon him, thus obtaining
so per cent of the Suez Canal Com
pany and turning said stock control
over to the British government"
This is the story the French canal
official told me. The Sues Canal to-
day is one Of the greatest assets OF the
British Empire, and It may be within
