ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S23@Tom Spring defeated Bill Neat in 8 rounds at -Andover, Eng By this battle, one of the most exciting contests in English prize ring history, Tom Spring-whose real name was Winter-became the champion. The aristocratic sports were there by hum dreds, and the humber followers of the game who gathered on the turf numbered well up into the thousands
 Neat had an inch the advantage in height, standing half an inch over 6 feet, but both were about the same weight. They began by sparring cau- tiously, and Spring sgot in the first solid blow. Both men displayed much science in stopping and lodging punches. Tom had the margin in the first round, to the great surprise of the country folk, for they had dubbed Spring t'The China Man" and ''The Lady'st Maid Fighter and did not ex- pect him to last long before slugger like Neat. Within a few minutes the marvellous science of Spring had brok- en the fighting spirit of Bill Neat. The latter had won all his former fights by bull-like rushes, but he soon tired of wading into Springs blows, and be- came cautious. For all that he fought gamely and braveIy, and the Bout was

U. S. Navy Department

sThe first Secretary of the, Navy in the United States was Benjamin Stod- dert, who was appointed to that posi- ton by President John Adams 118 years ago. today, May 20, 1798. On the organization of the United States government the navy was placed under the supervision of the War Depart ment, but in 17s8 the two branches of the service were separated. The first Naval Secretary, like most of his suc- cessors, had little nautical Knowledge. He was a native of Maryland and serv- ed in the Continental army as a cap- tain of cavalry. He died in 1913, hay ing held the naval portfolio under both Adams and Jefferson. From Stod- dert to Josephus Daniels, the present incumbent, who is an editor, the Amer ican naval secretaries have been with very few exceptions men with little or no knowledge of the sea and its ways One exception was William Jones, in Madison's cabinet, who had served in the. navy during the revolution. The great majority of the holders of the naval portfolio have been lawyers and jurists. In fact, it would seem that complete ignorance of naval matters has always been considered one of the chief qualifications of a Secretary of the Navy

MRS. FORD RETURNS FROM INDIANAPOLIS
 CHARITIES MEETING
Declares National Confer ence Just Closed Was the
 Best in It's History.

Declaring the national conference of charities and correction, just closed in Indianapolis, to have been the most successful and largest in the history of such gatherings in this country, Mrs. M. H. Ford, a member of the Bridge port board of charities commissioners, returned to Bridgeport last night after an absence of 10 days, most of which were spent at the conference.
 The Indianapolis meeting took place 25 years after similar conference has been held there. The meeting a, quarter of a century ago was attended by about~40O delegates, while the con ference that has just closed attracted an attendance of about 4,000 from all parts of the United States. New Eng land, especially Boston, was well rep resented. Frederick Amy of Buffalo. N. Y., was named president of the next conference which will take place in Pittsburgh. MT. Amy is secretary of the Buffalo Charities Organization society, and has, taken an active part in civil service examinations in the state of New York covering charities appointments.
 Arrangements for the Indianapolis conference were made in minute detail by Father Francis H. Gavisk, of that city, the president of the conference. With the cooperation of state and city charities officials and civic organiza- tions, the conference delegates not only profited greatly in charities informa- ton, one of the features of which was a reception rendered the delegates by Governor Ra1ston.
 Rev. Austin Mccullough, the presi- dent of the conference 25 years ago, kept in his family a gave1 used during the meeting4 At the close of the present conference. his family tend cred to Father Gavisk the same gavel, the presentation being attended by ap- propriate ceremony. Father Gavisk, who began life as a newspaper man, received resolutions of the conference voicing the appreciation of the dele great meeting.
 Mrs. Ford, who has attended many of the national conferences, said to- day the Indianapolis gathering was without question the most successful in all respects.

Won Kluck the "Goat"?

This is the seventieth birthday of Alexander H. R. won Kluck, the Ger man commander who led the famous rush into France in the early days of the war. For few weeks the name of von Kluck was emb1azoned in big type on the front pages of the worlds newspapers. After the failure of his Parisian excursion he reIapsed into ob- scurity, and, except for occasional mi nor paragra phs, nothing has been heard of him. He was seriously wounded little more than a year ago, but last fall it was reported that he had completely recovered and was liv- ing at his home in Berlin. According to rumorS form Holland and Switzer- land, the aged Teuton general. had a furious quarrel with the Kaiser, and no longer enjoys tWilhelm's favor. These stories say that while the failure cause of the unexpected and brilliant opposition of the Allied forces and the failure. of the Crown Prince to CO., operate according to the preconceived plan, the Kaiser made the old general the goat and put the blame upon him. It was just three score and ten years ago to-day, May 20, 1846, that Alexander Kluck was born in Muen- ster, Germany, the son of Karl Kluck, a government architect. He received the aristocratic ''von'' in 1909, as the gift of Emperor William. His mili- tary career commenced a little more than half a century ago, as a sol- dier in the Sixth Westpha1ian Infan- try, and fought in the Prussian war against Austria, becoming a. lieutenant. In the Franco-Prussian war he was twice, wounded. He reached the rank of lieutenant-generaI in 1902.

EMO ALERT AS
 HE MADE WILL,
 WITNESS SAYS

New York, May 20.-Taking of testi- mony in the conduct of the will of Amos F. Enc before Surrogate Fowler and a jury began yesterday when John B. Merz, confidential man for Lucius H. Beers, one of the executors, and Ely G. Partridge, a clerk in the law office of MT. Beers, both of whom were witnesses to the will, were on the stand until adjournment.
 MT. Merz, whose name has been brought into the case conspicuously because he was sent to the Emo resi- dence the day after MT. Emo died and ordered the destruction of many pa pers which he collected about the house, some of which were rescued from the furnace before they were burned, was the first witness. He said he always took legal acknowledgments from MT. Emo and was a witness not only to the 1915 will offered for pro bate but to wills made in 1914 and 1915.
 Describing the events leading up to the execution of the last will MT. Merz said he went to the decedents resi- dence at 32 Fifth avenue on July Is, 1915, under orders from his employers, and subscribed his name to the last will, which he identified in court. He said that MT. Beers, who had chaISes of the signing of the document. asked MT. Emo to read the last clause of the will. When MT. Beers asked him if he knew what the document was MT. Emo said: E
 Ut is my last will and testament.,'
 MT. Merz said that the three wit nesses then signed, and he identified MT. Eno's signature. He insisted that MT. Eno'S voice was clear and unwa- vering when he said that the docu- meth he had signed was his last will
 MT. Merz said he was convinced that MT. Enc was not under duress when he signed the will and that he was of sound mind and capable of making a will H

KARL CYRUS EXPLAINS
 STANDARD PRICE BILL

TO the Editor.
 Tn newspapers lately. have noticed a common falIacy in regard to the op- eration of the Stephens Standard Price Bill-that it will apply to all merchandise. The truth of the mat ter is that only a small part of a re- tai1er's- stock will be affected. as the Legislation covers only standard trade marked goods.
 Another mistaken conception which opponents of Standard Price laws have, is that such a system of mer- chandising would be impractical for goods of a perishable nature. The supporters Of this notion overlook the fact that the bill is permissive and not mandatory No producer need come under the protection of it's pro- visions unless he desires to do so.
