NO-Fence Law Gives Commissioners Authority to Take in or Leave Out.

The Caldwell bill, proposing 'no- fence" law for certain section of Jef- ferson county, passed by the senate yesterday, is an elastic and demo- cratic measure, in that it leaves it to the people of the townships affected to say whether they wish to be with in or without the "no-fence" district.
 The territory embraced in the measure includes Bolivar, Pastoria, Plum Bayou, Dudley Lake, Bogey and Old River. property-owners of these having petitioned Senator Caldwell to have such a bill passed. It does not include the townships of Dunnington, Roberts and VillemOnt.
 In order to give the people affected the option of choice. MT. Caldwell wrote into the bill provision au- thorizing the commissioners, Jesse R. Core, w. I. Payne and John F. Sen nett, to omit any territory adjacent to the line of the district whose resi- dents do not desire to be within the "no-fence" section, and to include any land whose owners desire to be with in the district. This action, however, must be taken before the fence is built around the territory to be in- cluded in the district. a general law requiring that a "no-ience" district must be enclosed within a fence.

Washington, Feb 16.-With its added drastic prohibition leglsianVt provisions, the annual postcffice ap- propriation till, carrying s3-2, ,o0o,ooc was passed by the senate today, afte1 week of vigorous debate. It was sent back to the house, which will ask for a conference report on the amend ments.
 The senate wrote into the bill a provision making it criminal otfense to ship liquor into state which pro hihits it's manufa cture and safe. thus nullifying the statutes of certain pro- hibition states permitting the impor- tation of limited quantities CT liquor for personal consumption. Another provision would bar from the mail letters, post cards, circulars newspapers anG other publications containing liquor advertising in states having law against such advertising.
 Violations of either of the provisions is punishable by a fine not to exceed S1 .000 or Imprisonment not to exceed six months for the first offense, ol more than one year for the second Cffense.
 Determined efforts by the post office committee to increase second-clas mail rates and to establish onc-cen1 postage on drop letters were made and bitterly contested, and the pro- posal finally was thrown out on a point of order.

There appears to be a need in the
fight game of new American light
weight champion. Willie Ritchie, fost
his claim to the worlds title. but not
to his American lightweight title.
though after his fight with Welsh
Ritchie never seemed anxious to press
the point. He appeared to forget that
he was still the American champ. But
Ritchie cannot be considered light
weight fighter any more, as he has
grown beyond the weight and Is book
ing welterweights matches.
The worlds lightweight title ap-
pears to be on ice in Welsh's keeping
so long as he refuses to perform in a
decision fight that will risk his crown.
1t looks like the proper time to find
the real American champ Of the class
and then to bring him against Welsh
and settle the lightweight question for
a little while to come.
Bennie Leonard looks like one of
the most gifted performers in the
class and he Is one Of the most popu-
lar. He would certainly get most Of
the votes of those who have seen
him perform we're they asked to pick
new lightweight champ. Leonard

I'has done everything he could to get
Welsh into a twenty-round title bout.
but Welsh has always demanded so
high a price that 1t was apparent he
didn't care to take the chance. AL
though when Welsh met Leonard in
ten rounds last July he beat him in a
finished fashion. Leonard's support
ers declare that Welsh would have
hardly chance with Benny in twenty
rounds.
After Leonard come Joe yelling
and Charley White, who seem to be
about neck and neck. yelling has an
advantage over most of his class in
height and reach and he is able to
make 1873 pounds at his strongest.
yelling is a fast, clever boxer and
one of the hardest hitters in the
class. He can wallop beautifully with
his right mitt and his blows are al
ways we'll timed, sharp and clean.
Perhaps his one weakness is an oc-
casional failure to follow up ad-
vantages and to force the pace at the
proper time. But he Is certainly a
bright spot in the lightweight divi-
sion and sure to have q say in the dis
posal Of the title.
