COSTTHEM $500

BY a contribution of $1OO each seven
men gained control of the Havre de
Grace-Pelryville bridge over the Sus-
quehanna river and last year got
per cent. dividend on S500000 from
the earnings of the bridge, according
to testimony of Clarence c. Pusey,
before the Public Service Commission.
Mr.. Pusey was formerly Mayor of
Havre de Grace.
The Commission is taking evidence
with view of establishing an equit-
able toll charge for the use of the
bridge by automobiles and other vehi-
cIes, and the Commissioners fairly
gasped when they heard how the fin
ancing of the bridge had been accom-
plished. Mr.. Posey admitted that the
original 500 was "lost in the shuttle"
and he could give no account of what
had become of it.
Mr.. Pusey succeeded the late Gen.
Murray Nandiver as president of the
bridge company. The last Legislature
thought that the charge of 81 for au-
tomobiles to cross the bridge was an
excessive charge and put the toll at
80 cents until the Public Service Com
mission could determine rate. Inc
argument so far has been as to the
value OF the property. Charles +.

Two Hours Session of Stock Exchange
Barren of Interest.

New York, March 25.-Today's two
hour session of the stock exchange
was barren of interest. Trading was
lighter and more narrow than usual,
and the heavy undertone was due to a
combination of circumstances includ-
ing further adverse news from abroad
and the customary week end settle
ment of open contracts by the pro-
fessional element.
Prices were confusing at the outset,
with numerous net losses, none 81
which were especially substantial, ex
eept in the specialties. Studebaker,
Crucible Steel, U. S. Industrial Alco
hol, Mexican Petroleum and Mercan-
tile Marine preferred were lower by
Reading, New York Central and
Southern Pacific, which bolstered the
session of the preceding day, averaged
one-point declines.
There were few neutraliZing fea-
lures. For instance, General Motors,
which made up some of it's recent Sc
we're decline by an advance of 33 points
to 485, Harvester corporation, which
rose points, and 1 to 8 point ad-
vances in Maxwell and Willys-Over-
land, the fertilizers and American
Writing Paper preferred.
Z. S. Steel and other former leaders
were altogether neglected when not
under marked restraint. Dealings in
Steel were exceeded by half a dozen
other issues, some of which often fail
of quotation for days at a time. Total
sales of stocks amounted to 245,0O0
shares.
Foreign exchange rates were irreg-
ular, francs making a slight recovery
from yesterday, while sterling and
marks eased, the latter, however, hold
ing above the mid weeks minimum.
Reduction of activity in stocks was
reflected in the moderate contraction
of loans by clearing house institutions
and reserves decreased slightly over
$4,000 900.
Today's bond market was slightly
irregular, with activity and firmness,
however. in Anglo F'rench fives. Total
sales, par value, $1,5S0,000.

WILLARD OUTCLASSES MORAN
Jess Retains His Title Worlds Heavyweight Champion
Moran Had Shade in Two Roundabout Tame and
Lstess at Times.

less Willard, champion pugilist Of
the world, clearly demonstrated to the
satisfaction of New York flsttc pa
irons his superiority over Frank Mo-
ran at Madison Square Garden Satur-
day night.
Almost 1900 persons representing
New YoraSs society and sporting ele-
ment, saw the champion halter and
brlI1se and all but knock out his light
er opponent. Moran was outclassed.
He could neither penetrate the de-
fence OF Willard nor were his blows Of
sufficient force to cause worry, let
alone injury.
Willard. it was announced after the
fight, broke his right hand in the third
round. This was given as the reason
he did not knock out Moran. There
must have been a deal Of truth in this
statement, for on several occasions
had Willard used his right hand more
often he certainly would have knock
ed out his opponent.
Excepting for the first two rounds,
Willard won as he pleased. Moran
was too short in his punches and too
weak in comparison with the massive
Kansan to gain the upper hand. once
the champion elected to take the ag-
gressive. Few Of the large crowd were
pleased with the entertainment. AT
times the bout became so tame and
listless the crowd set back apathetical-
ly and wondered if that was what they
had paid SIS a seat for.
The crowd paid approximately $780,
900 to see the fight. 1t was the great
est gathering Madison Square Garden
had ever seen. Many women were in
the throng.
Moran put up a game fight. Most
of the time he crouched and forced
the fighting. Willard seemed slower
on his feet than the challenger, and
appeared to have an unlimited capaci-
ty to take punishment. Moran scow1-
ed as he fought, but Willard smiled.

WILLARD LEAVES NEW YORK.
Champion Takes Away Nearly $40, 900
Considers Moran a Strong Fellow.

New York, March 26.-With his right
hand bandaged, as the result of an in
jury to the index finger, and nearly
$4,000 in big bills carefully slowed
somewhere about his person, Jess Will
lard, the worlds heavyweight cham
pion, left here this afternoon. He ex-
poets to join his family at Chicago
some time tomorrow and to rest until
the last week of April, when ne will
begin a six months tour with a cir
Gus.
Speaking today of his bout with
Frank Moran at Madison Square Gar
den, Willard said:
Moran is a great, strong fellow,
both clever and full Of courage, but
think 1 would have knocked him out
last night had l not injured my right
hand early in the fight. The doctor
says / will not be able to use my right
hand for at least two weeks. AS to
fighting Moran again or Fulton, or any
to attend to that matter. I am will
ing at any time to defend my title and
will be ready whenever arrangements
are made"
Walter Monahan, one of wiIlard's
trainers, accompanied the champion,
who did not show mark from last
nights contest.
Moran was up early this morning
and received many callers at his hotel.
The Pittsburgh mans face was pulled
and his eyes diScolored from Willard s
| left hand jabs, but he was cheerful.
He was unwilling to admit that Will
lard beat him and claimed that if the
seventh round had gone a minute
longer he would have knocked out the
champion.
II want another go with Willard, /"
said Moran, land would like it to be
| for twenty rounds or more, as I am
| not at my best in a ten round bout
| In six weeks time I will be ready to
meet Willard or any other big fellow
| they match with me. Believe me, !
am not going to remain idle, as know
| L possess every requisite to win the
championship title"
Tex Richard, who promoted the
bout, said today:
my partner, Samuel McCracken, and
are satisfied with the result The
sale Of tickets amounted to a little
over $4,000 and this might have been
increased by fully $500 had we been
able to sell tickets to hundreds who
could not get through the police lines
I have no intention of promoting an
other contest in the near future, as
my business interests demand my GO
ing TO South America early next
\ month. AS for matching Willard
| again, I am inclined to think that he
will not fight much more. BY the end
of this year Jess will have acquired
quite a sum of money. The fight game

caution marked the first advance. Mo-
ran hooked with a left to the head,
while Willard held without a lead.
Willard jabbed to the face, but did not
follow up his opening. Moran again
hooked a nice left to the face Willard
attempted to hold off Moran. but Mo-
ran waded in with an overland left,
but managed to connect without re-
turn. Willard only blocked and held.
Willard missed a right swing that
connected with the ear. Moran stung
Willard with right to the head and
without effect. Willard outboxed Mo-
ran, blocking Moran's every effort.
Moran's round by a shade.
Second Round.
The champ appeared too deliberate.
while Moran. was overanxious to try
out his haymAker. Willard led with a
straight left to the face. Moran forced
the champ into action. but received a
shower Of blows in return. Both men
then stood and looked at each other
without doing anything. Willard jab-
bed with a left. Moran countered with
a left hook to the jaw. Moran in a
mixup smothered Wizards punches
and landed two nice ones to the face
without a return. Jess made Moran
miss, but Moran came back strong and
forced Willard into a corner and
landed three punches to the head. Will
lard fought defensively and wasted
most of his strength smiling Even
round.
Third Round.
Moran gambled with a punch, fight
ing wide open, while Willard was more
cautious. Up to this time neither land
ed a blow of merit. Willard shot a
right to Moran's body and took two in
the face in return. Both men slowed
up to almost a walk and f1ddled about
Willard delightfully."- tapped Moran on
the nose several times. Moran seemed
unable TO get away from Wizards left
jabs. Moran took n desperate chance
with two overhead rights, but missed
them both. Willard was perspiring
