JOHN [. SULLIVAN
PUC|L|ST, DIED
First American Fistic Champion and
Foremost Figure in the Ring Sue
cumbs at Age of SO Years-Fought
IS Rounds With Jake Kilrain With
Bare knuckles at New Orleans.
(By Associated Press)

Arlington, Mass, Feb. John L
Sullivan, famous pugilist, died at his
home here this morning, aged SO
years
John Laurence Sullivan was one of
the most picturesque characters in the
history of prize fighting. For more
than ten years, from the time he de-
feated Paddy Ryan in 1882, m bare
knuckle fight under the London Prize
Ring rules, until he was defeated by
James J. Corbett in 1892, his person
ality and methods of fighting COM
pletely dominated sporting circles in
the United States.
In the annals of pugilism in this
country two notable distinctions were
his: He was the last champion under
the London prize ring rules and he
was the first native born American
to succeed to the worlds champion
ship. 1t was largely through his
achievements that the championship
title was made prize of great none
tary value. In the early days of his
career $1,000 a side was looked on
as a great sum. He received only $53
for the fight that made him a ma
tional character in fisticuffs and won
him the right to challenge Paddy Ryan
for the championship.
Sullivan said himself that he made
two millions in the fighting business
and that he spent one million Of it
in buying drinks for himself and his
host of admirers.

CALEXICO, HOLTVILLE
AND IMPERIAL ALSO
GOING STRONG, BUT
BRA WILEY LETHAR-
GIG in NATTER.
A. L. Richmond and Post
master Collins Assemble
Figures to Prove That the
County Is Doing It's Pa
triOtic Duty.

A. L. Richmond, chairman of the
county Thrift Stamp committee, is ex-
tremely gratified because of the
showing of Ell Centric in the Thrift
Stamp continuous campaign, and has
urged other cities in the valley to
redouble efforts to keep up to their
quota.
Mr.. Richmond received reports
from CaleXico, Holtville and Imperial
showing that the returns were COM
ing in well. Brawley, seemingly, has
not organization, and the thrift stamps
are not going rapidly in that town.
Postmaster Collins today reported
that the total subscribed by Ell Cen
tro people amounted to S5703.64, and
that fourth class postoffices outside
of cities had reported purchases of
Thrift Stamps amounting to $2223.40.
To this total of $SO26 must be add
ed more than $4,000 subscribed in
other cities.
The quota of Imperial county this
year is s45O,OO0. That the county
will reach this sum is predicted by
the officials.
Agencies for the sale of stamps in
Ell Centro are as follows: First Ma
tional Bank, Ell Centro National bank,
Security bank, McColloch Drug Co..
Valley Drug Co., Imperial Valley
Hardware Co., Barbara Worth Hotel,
Holton Power Co., Hamilton Bros.
and w. ]. Clements.

APPLE STILL WILL
BE A CANDIDATE
Efficient County Official Has the
Support of Hosts of Friends
Throughout the Valley in His An
nOuncement That He Will Be
Candidate to Succeed Himself.

Sheriff hCarles M. Applestill has
become candidate to succeed him
self in the office he so efficiently
holds.
This is good news to his host of
friends in the county and is well
come assurance that the county has
the opportunity of continuing in of
flee competent and conscientious
official.
Since his appointment to succeed
the late Mobely Meadows the sheriff
has pursued with great credit to him
self the business of running down
law violators in this county. to
which a larger percentage of the law
less are attracted than in most Cali
fornia counties. 1t is a regrettable
fact that Imperial county sends more
men to the penitentiary in proportion
to its inhabitants than any other in
the state. This serves to illustrate
the difficulties under which the sher.
iff works.
The Calexico Chronicle yesterday
in commencing Mr.. Applestill's in.
cumbency, stated that he was the CO.
posite of "dime novel blood-and.
thunder" sheriff, as was expected of
a border police official, but that he
went about his work quietly, using
his head in every instance.

(By Associated Press)

New York, Feb. 2.-Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman today
surrendered to the federal authorities.
Berkman said he was informed that
the Bolsheviki had demanded that the
United States return them to Russia
and not to serve their sentences for
draft conspiracy.
Berkman said representations will
be made on the ground that they be
deported at the end of their prison
terms, indicating United States rec
.ognitions of their status as Russians.
Being Russians, he said they were
entitled to immediate deportation.
Berkman will be sent to Atlanta
and Miss Goldman to jefferson City,
Mo.
Both wildly applauded impassioned
speeches made last night at the Boil
sheviki-controlled Russian Colonial
Congress. Both appealed to their
hearers to carry out in America the
spirit of the Russian revolution.
A resolution asking the United
States to deport Berkman and Gold
men caused tempest at the conven.
ton of Russian societies here. a mi
nority faction charged that the con
,vention was packed with Bolshevik
delegates. Minimalists opposed inter
ference and declared the Bolshevik
were imprisoning the best men ir
Russia.

patches say a national demonstration
is being organized to protest against

that they characterize the govern
ment's expressed desire for peace as
only a mask. 1t is declared the es-
tablishment of a republic by over
throwing the government is the only
way to end the misery and wholesale
massacres. The leaflet says:
