Snappy Northern Light
weight Is Considered
for Wallace Battle.

Joe Britton, clever little northern
lightweight who has made many
friends in FL Paso by his cleancut
work in a training camp for the past
three weeks will probably be matched
with Otto Wallace for a 15-round 90
at Deming. y. NJ. to be held on jan
uary 80.
Britton has been in training for
some time and is in fine condition for
the bout should arrangements be
made for the contest with his name on
the card as one OF the principals. He
is reputed to be one Of the cleverest
boys that has visited this city in some
time and what is more he has an
excellent record, which stands as
evidence of his ability as a boxer OF
class. In meeting Wallace he will
clash with a rather tough citizen but
inasmuch as he is anxious for the
bout, and is a favOrite some consider
alton is due him aside from the fact
that he has worked out here several
weeks and not bothered the promot-
ers
Wallace is enroute back to the city
from FIT Worth 1t is reported and will
probably meet with the Deming pro-
moters today. c. NJ Rood, head of

TINKER LIKES CAMP.

Joe Tinker talks of training his Co.
lumbus American association team at
Chillicothe, Ohio, where there is a
camp Of some $4,000 soldiers. Tinker
would condition his men by playing
practice games against the soldiers.
Twice in previous years Columbus has
trained at Chillicothe and if no trip
south is to be taken that city seems
as good a spot as can be selected.

Breton Woods Has
Searchlight Scare
Flashes From Mt. Washington
Lead to Spy Suspicious
and Arrests
Especial Dispatch to The Tribu,,c)


BRETON WOODS, N. H., Aug. 2l.
The flashing for several nights of a
powerful searchlight located high on
the side of Mount Washington, near
here, resulted about midnight last
night in the arrest Of the operator,
Robert L. Smith. of Boston; his wife
and another woman who accompanied
them.
When arrested by deputy sheriff
from Gorham, N. H., and posse of
about fifty men Smith protested that
there was nothing reprehensible about
his actions. He said he was president
of the New Portable Electric Search
light Company, of Boston, and that he
had come to Mount Washington to try
out his invention.
The searchlight he was using was
said to be sufficiently powerful to
throw signals more than 800 miles.
Smith said he had telephoned friend
in Portland to watch for his signalling.
A friend of Smith who was staying
at Randolph. N. H., was taken into Gus
tody, and both will be taken to Ports
mouth for examination.

Manifesto to Working Mems
Leaders Proposes Confer

LONDON, Aug 21.-The Indepen-

manifesto urging the British labor
leaders to reunite and to assemble in

large body of labor in opposition is
the American Federation of Labor,
(which possesses no political mandate,
while the American Socialist party
cordially approves" the holding of a
conference.
The manifesto declares that had the
Stockholm conference been held as
originally proposed the warning gov
ernments might long since have been
forced to open negotiations and the
war might now have been ended and
the world united in a league of nations.
