steamers, which are interned in the
port Of Shanghai whore they took
refuge soon after the outbreak of the

away late at night after China had
sent her protest to Germany on the
unrestricted submarine warfare. The
two steamers were sighted steamin9
at top speed towards the entrance Of
the port under cover Of darkness
through the merchantmen moored in
the harbor.
A japanese warship cruising near

PROFIT TAKING
STOPPED ADVANCE

Chicago, March 20.-Profit taking
sales overcame all advances today In
the wheat market. There appeared
to be virtually unlimited quantities
awaiting purchase above 31.S8 for
May. The result was an unsettled
close, 1 1-2 to 1 7-sc net lower. with
May at $1.S6 5-S to $1.86 3-4. and
July at $1.57 Ia to 31.57 5-s. Corn
finished unchanged to 5-8 OSLO high
er; oats 3-8c of to lac up and pro-
visions at a rise Of to 15c.
Bearish crop advices from the
southwest did a good deal to induce
wheat holders to realize.
Estimates that 66,000.o00 bushels
remained In the United States for ex-
port or for carrying-over into the
new crop gave impetus to the de-
clines.
Scarcity Of rural offerings sent
corn to the highest level on record.
No. 2 yellow and No. 8 white selling
at $1.13 1-2. Unloading Of 10000
bushels by one of the bull leaders
checked the advance. Oats showed
much Independent strength. especial
ly the May option.
All deliveries Of provisions advanc-
ed to new high levels. Fresh top
notch quotations on hogs were large

BOXING TITLE
TO BE- RISKED
Tommy Gibbons Has Entered
Light Heavyweight Class and
Will Try for Crown.

st. Paul, Minn.. March 21.-A box
ing championship may change hands
in this city on Friday night when
Battling Levinsky, New York, and
Tommy Gibbons, st. Paul meet.
Today Levinsky is the light heavy
weight champion by reason of win
ming a 12-round referees decision
over Jack Dillon last summer at Bos-
ton. Since then Levinsky has not lost
a decision bout.
But Tommy Gibbons is going to try
and stop Levinsky Friday night and
thus win title. Tommy is prepar-
ing for the bout under the direction
of his illustrious brother Mike Glib
bons and the youngest member Of the
noted boxing family is looking great.
To win the title from Levinsky
would be a great feather in Toms
cap. 1t would be the first time in
ring history that a boxer of lighter
class held the title in a heavier with
out being champion Of his own. Tom
is a middleweight but not cham
pion as his brother Mike is, and Of
course the two will never meet in a
real ring bout. The last title holder
Of the combined titles was Bob Fitz-
simmons who held the middle. light
heavy and heavyweight titles at one
time.
Indications point to a tremendous
crowd when Levinsky and Tommy
Gibbons meet. The Auditorium holds
nearly 10000 and 1t Is expected to be
packed

LEAVES TOMORROW
FOR FARGO, N. OAK
Will Tell Story of His Trip
in Canadian North For
Last Time Tonight.

Fred Hartman. American fur trad
er from northern Canada and the hero
of the Red River derby last January,
is spending the last Of three-day
visit in Grand Forks, and tonight will
relate incidents of his trip and Of life
in the polar regions for the last time.
Last evening at the Hotel Dacotah
Hartman was the honor guest at q
dinner given by members Of the COM
mittee that was in charge of the derby
last January The hosts were Don v.
Moore, A. G.. Sorlie, J. d. Bacon, Fin
Icy D. Cameron, George A. Benson
and James L. Malone. Charles c..
Perry, Hartman's manager, was also
a guest.
AS a token Of remembrance, Hart
man autographed photographs of him.
self with his dog team. and presented
one to each man present. Relieved
Of the restraint actuated by the
crowd Of strangers at the theater, the
guest Of honor talked moro freely Of
his many experiences but each mar
rative recited. brought no personal
credit. His modesty was again made
apparent in telling of his trip and he
has been given to him. because he lost
the race.
Many facts that have been made
public before were recalled by Hart
man and his account Of the manner
in which he happened to enter the
race Is Of unusual interest.
Just two months ago yesterday,
Hartman drove into the LIE Pas trad
ing camp where he first heard Of the
contemplated derby. He was induced
to enter the race by the Canadian
traders from LIE Pas. although he had
not time in which to select better
dogs. After he had started for Win
nipeg, he regretted his decision to en-
ter, but It was too late to withdraw.
His story from then on is familiar
with practically every man, woman
and child in the country and al
though it has been repeated many
times over, it never ceases to be in
teresting.
This afternoon at 4:15 o'clock
Hartman will tell his story to the
school children Of the city at special
matinee, arranged for their convent
ence. Tonight will be the last time
for his public appearance in Grand
Forks. and he will depart for Fargo
in the morning, where he will re-
main for the last three days Of this

TEAM-ANDY GILL TO MANAGE

The effort to push the club through
will be delayed for a few days. pend
ing further developments of sentiment
among the fans. For the next few
days baseball gossip will be para
mount and If critics are favorable to
getting crack nine. immediate steps
will be taken to get the right kind
fans and business men whether or not
a team will be organized and as it Is
a civic proposition. the backing must
be certain before any steps are taken
to afix signatures to contracts or be-
gin schedule.
AS the result of the unanimous Sc
lection of every fan interviewed,
Coach Andy Gill of the university has
been asked to take charge of the
team as player manager. Those who
have had experience in baseball and
who are familiar with Gill, declare
that the managerial berth will be we'll
filled. Gill is q player of no little
ability and promises to lead the team
as a hitter or fielder. As a coach; he
has repeatedly proved his ability and
he is believed to be the one best man
to add perfection to the Grand Forks
club.
Tho matter Of getting players has
already been fixed and as soon as it 10
raised to start the club, the men will
be brought here to start practice. Ten
tative arrangements have been made
for the season, but these await the
approval of Coach Gill who is to have
complete charge.
The movement has been given a
good start, and although it Is the
eleventh hour" it is certain that the
athletes to play on the nine will rank
high among the Independent organ
izations of the northwest. Five local
men have already stated that they
would try out for the squad and it
is expected that many more strong
artists will be unearthed in either
Grand Forks or East Grand Forks in
the next few weeks.
Baseball favor is reaching a height
and as the proposition Of getting a
team has been given a good start the
responsibility has been switched to
the fans who must either kill tho
movement or make it a big success.
AS soon as the proper amount Of sup
port is assured. the matter will bs
pushed through.
