ALEXANDER SANE, SAY OFFICIALS
 INSANE ASYLUM
Local Man Convicted of Murder Must Serve Life
 Sentence In Prison.

w. C. Alexander. white, former has been an inmate of the state hos pital for nervous diseases the past three years, has been pronounced cured and mentally sound by Superin- tendent Kirk of that institution, and the penitentiary authorities have been informed that they can again take possession of Alexander, that he may serve his sentence of life imprison mont.
 Alexander's case is we'll remember ed here. He was accused of having shot to death g man named Kelly, sec tion foreman on the Cotton Belt, in the barroom of the old Brookhill hotel, in 191z, following a dispute over a cardgame. Kelly is said to have had his hands above his head, and to have been shouting, Don't do that, Alex, when Alexander appeared with his pis- tol, but Alexander, according to the testimony. shot him down without hesitation.
 Before Alexander was tried, a lunacy commission decided he was sane. A change of venue then was granted, and the trial was held at Arkansas City, a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree be ing returned by the jury. The case was appealed to the supreme court, and the verdict was upheld. Then a second lunacy commission was con- vened, on the allegation that Alexan- der was at that time not sane, and this commission decided the man was insane. Governor Robinson then com muted AleXanders sentence to life inn prisonment, and Alexander was turn ed over to the authorities at the in sane asylum. for incarceration and treatment, according to the best in formation obtainable last night
 Sheriff R. H. Williams said yester day that his recollection of the case is that there was never commuta- ton granted, and that there are no records of such commutation in the sheriff's office The sheriff stated that he5remcmbers taking Alexander to the penitentiary for safe keeping only, and thara receipt of that nature from the
 penitentiarv authorities is on file in
 the sheriff's office here. It is likely the other records in the case, with the
 records of Alexander's trial, are on file in the circuit court archives for pesha county.
 T. Havis Nixon was prosecuting at l torney at the time Alexander was tried, and he said last night he has
 no recollection of any commutation having been granted Alexander. w. B. Sorrells, now circuit judge for this
 circuit, was attorney for Alexander,
 but he is out of the city, being at Arkansas City, presiding at session of court

NEW BOWLING RECORDS SET

Eddie Anderson, Makes 152 Score in
 Game Against Warriors-Bowers
 Features in Skinner Chuck League.
 Eddie Anderson, captain of the Mo- hawks of the City league, established a new high single score for the league last evening, when in the match with the Warriors, he tumbled the timbers for a 152 score in the second game. This score displaces Joe Foote's mark of 151 The Mohawks also set a new high team score of 1881, aided by the fine work of "Heinie" Hornkohl Tho Live Oaks took three straight games from Brennecke's Wanderers, and now Bill is flying S.

New Britain herald., 1917-11-02

Mack presented a pitiable sight, with his nose smashed and flow of blood oozng from his mouth. He was as- sisted from the ring to his quarters by his seconds. Waltz was rendered an ovation on arrival in his dressing room.
 The semi-fna between Larry Han son of Hoboken, N. J., and Young Oscar Gardner of Hartford. proved a big disappointment, the boxers ex- pressing too much affection for each other to do real damage. The crowd hcoted and booed throughout the mill, and a sigh of relief was given when the "bout" ended. One thing Is certain. that if another draft Is held, and Uncle Sam calls for fight CTS, Hanson and Gardner can claim exemption on grounds that they are not. There is only one decision that can be rendered in the bout-it was awful.
 The curtain raiser produced plenty of real action when Jimmy Sandy of New York and Young Butch met in Q six round argument. The little fel- lows went at it hammer and tongs from the outset, and the battle ended in draw. Butch was sent to the canvas in the second round, but was unhurt. There was 8 good sized crowd on hand to witness the bouts. Professor Thomas Shea of New Haven, issued 8 challenge to meet Sammy Waltz in a fifteen round battle, for $1O0 or $2O0 and agreed to give Waltz $25 for every round over twelve ! that he stayed. Shea also agreed to leave the matter of decision to any' Hartford newspaper.

PIMLICo RAGING OPENS

Roamer, Andrew M11er's Fast Geld
 ing Takes Feature Event on Open-
 ing Day-OeAn Up Made on Eyelid.
 Pimlico, Md, Nov. 3.-Andrew Mill ler's true running little gelding Roam CT accounted for the Arlington Handi- cap at one mile and sixteenth. the feature event of the opening day card at the Pimlico track yesterday. The track was soft and slow from the recent rains and this caused seven of the original fourteen entrants to be withdrawn. But 1t was not muddy enough to check Roamer's speed. He waited on Naturalist to the home stretch, where Jockey Schuttinger gave him his head and he won easily by two lengths. A. K. Macomber's noted Ally Sunbonnet was second. a length in front of the Brighton Sta ble's Ed Roche. The race was worth $1,600 net to the winner.
 Sea Farer started the form play CTS off on the right road by leading all tho way in the first race. Silver Dart, an excellent jumper, led all the way in the steeplechase and won by two lengths from Pussy Willow. w.. R. Coe'a Bet slipped and fell when she landed over the jump in front of the clubhouse. She unquestion- ably would have won had she re- mained on her feet, as she was mere ly galloping when she came to grief.
 A killing was made on Eyelid in the sixth race when the daughter of Eye brow won in a gallop after leading the way from the start to the finish. Eyelid, homebred Ally, Is owned by A. l.. Aste of New York. She was backed all over the country. Alger- non Daingerfeld, assistant secretary of the Jockey club said the ban against two-year- that raced before April was still in force, and that they would not be permitted to race on Jockey club tracks before January I.
 Mrs. William Manley, widow of the late president of the Maryland Jockey club, will donate a gold cup worth s1 900 to the Manley Memorial steeplechase worth $1o,0oo, which win be raced for next week.

Sammy Waltz, Fighting in Best

Many years ago the present age is told. q mighty tornado swept over Wallingford. and it's shock was felt distinctly in Meridsn. From then on, nothing of importance has ever oc- cured to arouse the Silver city resi- dents, until last evening. when an- other and more terrific shook was given them. It was not nature that supplied the latest one. but the pow erful right hand of Sammy Waltz of Hartford, who rocked the much . touted Young Mack to sleep in the eleventh round of a fifteen round battle. Coming like bolt from the blue, the Meriden folk were dazed at the outcome and. while the town has been in 3 practical semi-unconscious condition for many years. the event of last evening is not going to tend very much toward an awakening Like every local favorlte Mack was looked upon as unbeatable in his home will lage. but after his showing last even ing against Waltz. tho Meriden folk will have to content themselves in considering him as . second rater Both boXs were given . welcome or entry into the ring, but sammy't friends were not very numerous.

| Further consideration OF law en-
foreement problems In Honolulu was
given yesterday afternoon by the
special anti-yice committee OF the
Chamber Of Commerce when at its
invitation City Attorney Brown and
Deputy Ghillingworth appeared before
the committee.
After the conference, which was
held behind closed doors, w. r. Far
rIngton said that the two city attor-
neys had given the committee much
frank information and their views OF
eommercialized vice, gambling and
habit forming drugs. Police Judge
Monsarrat had been invited, but an
swered that in his judicial position he
felt that he might be called upon to
comment on cases possibly coming
before him. The committee win ex-
plain more fully to Judge Monsarrat
that it is not its intention to cause.
any such complications, and hopes to-
hear from him at later date
Speaking of yesterdays sessions
Farrington said:

and exact notes taken Of all the dis

First, that there might be no dis.

was or was not said and the main is

Second, We have not had the news
papermen present because their re-
ports are Of necessity fragmentary
and centered on what appears to be

The result of this has been not infre-
Auently that those involved claim UNI

again lost to sight through petty
