LOCAL BOARDS ORDER
CONTROLS DES[RTERS
Military Authorities Must Court
Martial Slackers Reported
From Counties.

A somewhat disgruntled federal
agent is one of the attaches of the
United States district court in session
here. This gentleman, while investi-
eating some violations of the liquor
laws on the Standing Rock reserva-
ton ran onto Stacker, whom he per-
sonally delivered as a deserter to the
military at Fort Smelling. The mill
tary authorities declined to accept the
alleged deserter because of some tech
nical conflict in understanding as to
the exchange of authority between the
department of justice and the war de.
partmcnt. The same trouble was ex-
perienced by U. S. Marshal Doyle, the
technical standing as deserter of a
Stacker whom he delivered to Smell
ing now having been established.
Adjutant General Fraser, having
word of these circumstances, wired
the war department the middle of the
week for advice. The department of
justice and the military authorities
now have been advised that a certi'
ficate from the local exemption board
citing a rcgistrant as a Stacker is suf'
ficient to commit him to court martial
at the nearest military post as a
deSerter.

BROKE DYNAMITE OVER

State House Staff Declines to

There was a real sensation at the
capitol Friday when the state house
electrician in nosing around State
Engineer Bliss Office found a large
box marked dynamite. He reported
to Custodian Laist who at once took
the matter up with the board of con-

chief electrician proceeded in body

Mr.. Bliss, and he picked up large

in the corridor when the blow fell.
After this exhibition of speed they
slowly filed back to gather up the re-

TED LEW|S...POOREST Of CHAMPIONS
MON SHOULD UNMAKE WELTERwE1GHT TITLE HOLDER
BY PAUL PURMAN

Ted Lewis, poorest of champions
has gone step further toward max
ing himself more unpopular than ever
if unpopularity in his case can be Gu
! CHANGED.
Popularity of a boxing champ is
contingent uroI a number OF ccHdi
| tions-his Willingness to fight chal
lengers, his ability to defend his title
in championship form and his fair
dealing by spectators being the most
important
Lewis has failed in all of these
Since he won his rather clouded
title by referees decision in TWEEN.
trround bout at Dayton, Ohio, Lewis
has failed to meet his most insistcnt
challengers, he has buried himself on
the coast where only four-round bouts
are permitted and recently capped the
climax by running out Of a match at
San Diego.
Lewis owns hit title by tolerance of
public opinion rather than by having
won it fairly and removing it could be
accomplished oy the public refusing
to recognize his claims.
Let's see what claims Lewis has to
tho title.
The last welterweight champion of
note was Joe Wolcott, who lost the
title to Horny Melody in 1906. Dixie
Kid had claimed the title in 1904 by
virtue of a foul verdict in his favor,
hut his claims were not generally
recognized.
In 1907 Mike (Twin) Sullivan de-
feated Honey Melody and held the
title until 1910 when he went into the
middleweight division and it was
claimed by Jimmy Clabby, who de-
tended it until he went into the mid.
die weight division in 1911, whereupon
the title was claimed by Ray Bron-
son, who posted a forfeit to fight for
the championship in 1918.
From that time on the whole welter-,
weight division was in tumble.
Bronson lost to Matt Wells and Hol-
berg in Australia. Wells, Spike Kelly,
Kid Graves, Mike Glover and a mum.
Der Of others then claimed the title,
but none was over recognized as
champion.
Then Jack Britton, who had out
grown the lightweight class, claimed
the title and defended it number of
times in 1917, meeting Lewis five or
six times. Ski .g.sm.
It's a question whether Britton was
ever champion. There was no elm
ination and there was a number of
good welterweights contesting his
claims right along. Regardless of
this, however, there was no concerted
opposition to Rritton's claims because
of his popularity. Then Lewis beat
Britton and now merits the title, poor
est of champions.

She's tired of Russia, is Tatiana.
And who can blame her?
If you we're in her place you'd have
beaten it, too, even if you had to
stage mock marriage to escape, as
they say she did.
She's princess, rather-she WAS

out.
Then she became prisoner, for
hidden to leave Russia.
But she got away, she did, so the
news dispatches say, and now she's
coming to America to give lectures

a shortage of $50 operators on its
system, and that the safe operation
of the road will be imperiled by the
withdrawal of any operator from
