FAVOR EXTENSION
OF D. c, WAIERAND
SEWERS INTO ND.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb. ia fav-
cradle report to the House OF Dele
yates by the delegations from Mont
EonGry and Prince Georges counties
on the bin authorizing extension OF
District Of Columbia water and sewers
TO Maryland territory adjacent to the
CAPITAL City IS expected tomorrow.
The Joint delegations from the two
counties have had the measure under
confederation since January "a.
II IL understood that the delegates
win report certain amendments, but
these are said to be OF q minor char
Scter, including q limitation on the
power Of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission to issue bonds
by providing that such bonds shall
, not exceed 10 per cent OF the assess
able basis for the sanitary district,
and also requiring that the Issuance
Of such bonds shall be approved by
the Public Service Commission OF
Maryland.
4: Terms Two Years.
It is also understood that the terms
OF the members OF the commission,
originally fixed at four years, will
be- changed to two years.
Friends Of the measure believe
that the legislature Is fully aware
OF the urgent necessity for some &C
ton from a health standpoint The
health authorities OF the District OF
Columbia a. well as the Maryland
state bosrd Of health have repeated
Iy pointed out the need for some COM
prahensive handling OF water supply
and sanitation in the area affected by
the bill to protect the health Of both
Maryland and District OF Columbia
residents.
Under the rules OF the Legislature
q favorable report by the joint dele
cations means that the measure is
wei on its way 10 passage.
As soon as the report Is made the
bin goes to its second reading in the
house, and IL subject to further
amendment. 1nasmuch as the MEM
bsFs OF the delegations from the
two counties affected by the bill will
report whatever amendments they
desire, and It Is a purely local meas
ure, no amendments on the floor Of
the house are expected.
Third and Last Reading.
The bill will then go to its third
reading and ind action. One day
must intervene. however. between the
Hoeond and the third readings.
Il Il probable, however, that the bill
val pass the house this week, after
which Il will go Immediately TO the
seaRte, where II will be referred 10
the senators from the two counties.

TTTAR has brought out with surpris-
W ing accuracy the American boxers
who are really fighters and those
who are parasites on the fistic game.
II has stamped with cIearness the dIf-
ference between real champions and
pretenders- The world is better ac-
quainted with Jim Corbett, Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien. Benny Leonard.
Mike Gibbons and hundreds Of other
boxers since the war-au to their
credit
The world is better acquainted with
Jess willard and Fred Fulton, also
A great many times the public Is not
hard 70 deceive concerning boxers
Very frequently the public don't want
the truth about boXers-preferring
newspaper and training camp molly
cOddle instead, because Of prejudice.
That was the case when Jack John
son met Jim Jeffries. Johnson was
one OF the greatest-if not the great
est OF American battlers. Compared
with Jack Johnson, John L Sullivan.
James j. Corbett, Jim Jeffries and
Bob FitZsimmons were inferior fight
ers- Each Of them lacked something.
Johnson had it all Yet the American
public did not want TO believe facts
when Johnson and Willard met Very
few ring followers but what knew the
truth although many did not say so
because they did not like the negro.
Willard Once Popular.
So Il was a sorry day when Jeffries
was defeated The American public
had bet its money on the man il
wished TO win rather than on whom
Il believed 20 be the better man-and
lost 10 our negro brothers. For a like
reason. Jess Willard was hailed as
the great deliverer when he defeated
Jack Johnson, although the Jack
Johnson he defeated was a greater
wreck than the Jim Jeffries bulk
from whom he took the title. Because
a man ne was hailed as great cham
pion-
In truth he has been the greatest
failure Of any American champion.
He seemed TO recognize that he was
made Of sideshoW stuff and went after
the money according TO his ability.
For saving his money, we commend
him. For sidestepping the great op-
pOrtunlty TO help America in the pres
ent war, we need say nothing. The
public has already pronounced YER
dict on him and Fred Fulton, who
refused TO box for benefit OF the army
recently in san Francisco. It matters
not that willard never was a cham
pion- The public in large numbers
believed that he was and he was in a
position 10 render great aid TO the
cause Of the United States in the war.
This he neglected to do. finally going
to the woods while real champions
continue the battle for their country.

great furore as a result OF his sug-
gestion that football be eliminated
as a wartime sport among the col

the state authorities Of Connecticut

Danbury or any other part OF that
commonwealth Joe 8Iulvihiu OF New

days ago was offered a substantial

8Iulvihiu was informed OF the deci-
sion OF Gov. Holcomb and the police
officials Of Connecticut he realized
that the jig was up as far as his in
dependent staging OF the fight was
concerned. He got into touch with
the Baltimore men, and in considera-
ton Of $4,000 turned the bout over
