knocked out Johnny Kilbane, the fea.
therweight king, just before the end
Of the, third round Of their battle at
Shibe Park tonight iAthtlic time Xii.
bane was on the floor with dount Of
five hanging over him. just as the
timekeeper reached for his bell, Jimmy
Dunn, the defeated man s second,
threw q towel into the ring. II was q
merciful act on the part Of Kilbane &
manager, who has also been Johnny 5
lifelong friend. Kilbane could have
gone no further. lie climbed gamely
TO his feet, but his legs were paralyzed
from the right hook TO the jaw that
finished him. He staggered and reeled
backward all over the ring and would
have fallen again but for the fact that
his seconds rushed through the ropes
and carried him to his corner.
Leonard,s Fight All Through s.. u.
It was Leonard's fight from start to
finish. He out-boxed and out-slugged
his lighter opponent all the way with
the exception of a right uppercut that
Johnny landed In the second round. He
failed to get homo any blows except
a few long tapping lefts. Starting the
third round, Leonard realized HIS su.
periority while he had been tapping
and jabbing before. He now let his
blows 90 with decision aud force be-
hind them. a.& e.
The round was now twenty seconds
old before Leonard crossed a terrific
right TO the chin. The punch sent Xii.
bane against the ropes in Benny S
corner and Kilbane sank to his
launches. Leonard backed away and
gave his opponent plenty of chance to
arise, then he tore in again. As Kill
bRne tore in in hopes of a clinch,
Leonard smashed him with another
right to the chin. .at"
Kilbane Drops On All Fours ,N
As Kilbane started TO sink to the
canvas he grabbed Leonard with his
left arm and as Benny tore away from
him Johnny went on his all fours.
When he arose he brought all his
famous ring generalship into play. He
side-stepped and ducked and even
threw the top of his head into Leo
nard's punches. Finally, however, Leo
nard got in another right smash to the
chin aud .Kilbane went down beaten
man, but far from disgraced.
Johnny gave his best, but that was
not good enough to stand off the rapid
fire work of the Now Yorker. 81. -
Tonight Leonard proved to the whole
boxing world THAT he is one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, 1888

Stacker HUNT TO
Be SEARCHING ONE
Smiddy and Huber Determined
That None Guilty Of Sinking
DUTY Shall Escape the Law

p United States Attorney Huber is
working with Marshal Smiddy in pre-
paration for the work of rounding up
the slaekers who have failed, or shall
fail to register for the draft. In a
statement issued yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Huber said:
"Back on the mainland we found
that the mplaints of slackers could
be divided into certain definite class
ifcations. First, there is the com
plant that comes in of the failure of
Tom Jones to register. Mrs. Smith
is sure that Tom is within a month
of being as old as her own son Will,
and VIII had to register. Lnvestiga-
ton of this class of complaint reveals
the fact that it was another son Of the
Jones family who was born so close
to Will Smith, and that that young
man has registered,
"There Is also the class of COM
plant which declares that Will Smith
is twenty one, but he has not regis
tered. We look it up and find that
VIII Smith has registered in another
precinct because the line at his own
precinct was so long he decided not to
wait. 49,
"Some of the complaints are based
upon mistakes in identity. John Jones
IL known down town as Jack, where
as his real name is John j. Jones. He
himself signs his name as j. j., Jones.
These changes mystify some people
and the complaint is the result tg ..
W. ~ have told Marshal Smiddyj" said
Mr.. Huber, "that in case Of complaints
he is to have them carefully investigat-
ed, preferably by the sheriff OF deputy
sheriff, who are to collect such evil
dence they can find and then, should
the suspected person fail TO have regis.
tered, turn the whole matter over TO
the marshal, In this way we hope to
avoid the arrest of persons who have
registered or who are not supposed to
register. f.
Mr.. Huber also spoke of the fact
that japanese born in these Islands, as
American citizens are subject to the
draft, although under the rules of the
department no alien who has not signi-
fed his intention of becoming a natur.
allied citizen can be drafted"

ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
REGISTRATION DAY.
Big islanders Turn Out Patriotic
ally and Few Ask To Be
exempted From Draft.

HHO, August 3--Hawaii demon
strated Tuesday beyond ali shadow of
possible doubt that she is with Uncle
Sam, heart and soul, TO aid in bringing
the war to a successful termination.
The total Registrations for the whole
Island, according TO the figures given
out BY Chairman samuel K Pua was
7t67. This is made up BY 5432 from
East Hawaii and 1895 from West Ha-
wall. And there still remain many to
register. I #
From seven in the morning until
midday registration officers were kept
particularly busy, but the flow of eli.
gibles slackened in the afternoon, and
officers were able 20 take short rests.
Little difficulty was experienced
with the men coming to register. No
attempt TO avoid the law was made,
and the whole day went by without
any apparent hitch. Few applied for
exemption and those who did had
grounds for SO acting.
Nothing is complete without the as
sistance of Red Cross workers, and the
women yesterday certainly endeared
themselves to the hearts of registra-
tion officers. A splendid luncheon was
provided by number of local ladies,
each acting in the duel capacity of
hostess and waitress.
So great was the enthusiasm on the
part of eligibles in various precincts
that many wanted to don the khaki
then and there. In the sixth precinct
. patriotic Japanese demanded rifle,
saying he wanted to start on the Ger.
mans right now. Similar incidents
were reported from other precints.

PARIS. August 6-The rare spectacle

portant committee of the Chamber of
Deputies being together on the wrong
side of a vote in the chamber was af-
forded the other day in the adoption
of an amendment TO the law opening
provisional credits for the third quar-
ter of 1917.
The amendment provided for the in
crease of the appropriations of about
10000 900 francs to permit payment of
allowances to certain categOries of
wives Of mobilized men that have here
tofore been withheld for various rea-
sons, the principal of which was that
the womeR in question were not in need
and the object of the war allowances
was the relief of distress. The amend
ment was adopted by vote of 404 to
90. Nine members of the cabinet and
q large proportion of the ~ members
Of the committee of appropriations
were among the 60.
Albert Thomas, minister of NUM-
tions, though absent was recorded as
voting against. This apparent ineon-
sisteney arises from the old custom in
the Chamber of Deputies permitting
absent members to delegate their vote
either to the groups to which they be-
long or to colleagues. That custom
also explains the great frequency of
reetifcatiOns of votes. Absent mem

erty of rectifyiLg the vote
