CIONET IS SENT
 TO COUNTY JAIL
 FOR SIX MONTHS

Charles Gionet. accused of white slavery, was allowed to plead guilty to lesser charge yesterday in the Superior Court, and was sentenced to six months in jail by Judge Gardiner Greene. Gionet had story of do- mestic troubles which aroused con- siderable sympathy for him.
 He formerly lived in Boston, but left his wife, and enlisted in the Ca- nadian forces. His wife by means of letters and telegrams pleading illness induced him to desert. Later they came to Bridgeport to live. His ar- rest was due to a row which occurred over his wife's conduct.
 Thomas Murray was given another chance to return to it's owner the $625 he picked up in the home Of 8 woman in this city. Murray was an iceman, and found the money on the floor of the home. He went to New York, but was apprehended there in a few days. He has promised restitu- ton, but so far has been unable to make it. Attorney Hugh J. Lavery represented him. and said he hoped to have the matter strengthened out by Tuesday morning. Court adjourn ed until Tuesday morning.

Anniversary of the First Bout for a Title Between a
 White Man and a NeqrO

On Dec. 8, 1910, just 1o7 years ago today, England was the scene of the first championship battle ever staged between a white man and negro. Thomas Molineaux, a Virginia darkey, was the representative of the African race, and his opponent was Tom Cribb, then heavyweight champion of England.
 At that time Cribb reigned su- preme, with no white man in sight to give him battle, so he accepted the challenge of the dusky American. Sporting England was tremendously excited. for a victory for Molineaux would not only mean that the black race would triumph over the white, but that the heavyweight title would cross the ocean and take up its abode in the infant Yankee republic.
 A cold and driving rain was falling when the men faced each other in the open air ring, but it did not dampen the spirits of the fighters nor the thousands of excited specta- tors. The champion had the ad- vantage in height, but then egro was more muscular. Molineaux landed the first blow, but Cribb came back strong, and the early rounds fully justified the confidence of the English men in their champion.
 The negro was often knocked down, but he refused to stay down. In the ninth Cribb was knocked down, and the negro became the aggressor In the 18th round Molineaux was a five to one favorite. with no takers. and the hope of England seemed doomed to certain defeat. In the 18th Cribb was knocked down and apparently out, and the packers of the negro hailed him as the champion of the world. Their applause was prema- ture, for fight ensued between sec- onds and when the quarrel waa strengthened out the referee ordered that the fight proceed.
 Exhausted by cold and exposure, the negro was unable to continue, and in the S2d round gave up the strug- gle. Although deprived of the fruits of victory, Molineaux had shown him. self the better man, but in later bat ties he was unable to capture the title.

Gans-Langford Battle.

Sam Langford defeated Joe Cans in 15 rounds at Boston on Dec. 8, 1903, just IA years ago today. AL though Cans was then a veteran, and had whipped Frank Erne for the lightweight title at Fort Erie. only in the previous year. he was outclass- ed by the Nova Scotia colored boy who was a novice at the game. Cans and Langford were of about the same height, and it was a lucky thing for Joseph and other lightweight contend CTS that Than speedily took on weight, so that he ended up in the heavyweight division. Within a year after his victory over Cans, Sam was
 fighting middleweigfts. Langford was the only man who ever defeated Cans when the latter was at hs best, from 1901 to 190z and it was not until 1908, when the germs of tuber- cu1osis had already found lodgment in the frame of the Old Master, that Battling Nelson took his laurels away from him,

OFFICIAL WAR PICTURES SOON
 BE AVAILABLE

Hartford, Dec. 8.-Of1cial United States government war moving pie lures are to be made available for the people of Connecticut to see under an arrangement which has just been completed by the Connecticut State Council of Defense with the Com mtttee on Public Information of Washington, under whose direction the pictures areb cling filmed.

 The Connecticut State Council of Defense has been made the exclusive distributing agent for Connecticut for these films. Plans are now being made by the Council to direct the ex- hibition of the pictures so that they may be seen by the people of the state. The expense to the govern ment of making these films will be covered, according to the Councils preliminary plans, by benefits at which the films will be shown.
 Any money received at these ben- eflts above the actual cost of making the films will be put into what will be known as the Connecticut State Council of Defense War Fund" from which money may be allotted for any war purpose on appropriation by the Council.

New sub tects are to be forwarded to the de- fense council from time 70 time, as soon as they are made.

sNEnzE PROVED .uNDoNG.

Basel, Dec. 7.-Though the Swiss border authorities have increasingly sharpened their surveillance of all frontiers so as to put stop to the petty smuggling that has been going on principally into Germany, 1t has been impossible to eradicate 1t en- tirely.
 A recent arrest for smuggling, whereby dishonest of1tcial was caught in the act shows the amusing features that accompany the work of ferretting out the smugg1ers. For it was a series of loud and violent snsezes that led to the arrest of the culprit.
 Cantonal Constable May charged with watching the smuggiers, was about to leafe on his bicycle for a tour of a part of the German-Swiss border, when he began to sneeze. His superior officer examined Mays knap- sack and found in it a quantity of pepper which the constable was about to smugg1e into Germany on his tour of inspection. In his pockets was quantity of German money, learned" according to his admission by similar previous operations.
