Though Sullivan had forsalIen the
ring and was on the down grade, he
was yet destined to fight the greatest
battle OF. his whole career the battle
to regain mis- own self-respect, the
battle to regain the respect OF his old
friends. This was the longest and
hardest battle he ever fought. He
emerged victorious, and died Febru-
rary ., 1915, mourned by an entire
country, even during a cataclysmic
war shaking the foundations OF the
world.
The glamor of the title still chung
to Sullivsn's skirts, and he went on
the stage for several years. l. 1897
he made $4,000 touring the country,
and cleared SIS. 900 in 1895, thus prov
ing his money-getting powers.
Davies Saves Sullivan.
1t was Charles Z. "Parson" Davies,
now an invalid in Chicago, who made
it possible for Sullivan to remain be-
fore the public and rehabilitats his
shattered fortunes. Sullivan had gone
the pace for four years following his
defeat by Corbett, his escapadeS fill-
ing columns in the newspapers.
Davies organized a tour, with Sulli-
van and Paddy Ryan as the feature.
l.. b. Schloss, now director OF Glen
Echo Park in Washington, was
publicity agent for that tour.
Sullivan and Ryan then Joined a
company in Chicago playing The
Wicklow POstman," an Irish melo-
drama, remaining under the manage
ment OF DaEie Who purchased an in
terest in the company. The former
champion was hard to handle, but
Davies had fair luck with him and
managed to have him keep his en-
gagements.
In 1899 Sullivan and Davies parted
company, Sullivan going on the
vaudeville and burlesque stage, where
he continued a big attraction. He was
paid as high as 5000 q week for his
monOloguo.

Jack Dempsey has made fine record

Raleigh,-Hotel and restaurant men
in North Carolina who do not rlgloIy
observe the food conservation program
of the Food Administration hereafter
may anticipate with confidence con-
ference with State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page or members OF his stan.
Following the receipt of urgent In
structtons from Washington Mr.. Page
has announced that rigid adherence to
conservation rules will be enforced In
all hotels and restaurants and public
eating places in North Carolina after
this date. If violations are reported
hearings will be held and where the
circumstances warrant it punitive
measures will be taken.
Already explanations have been de-
manded from a numbers OF hotels IN
the state for their nOn-cOnformance or
luke-warm observance OF the conserVa-
ton program of the Food Adm1n1stra-
ten and the owners of four cafes in
RALEIGH were given a hearing to show
cause why they should not be punish
ed for their failure to observe wheat
less days and wheatless meals.
Every household in the country ID
requested to confne its consumption
to IL pounds per person per week. A
large number of households are follow
ing the examples Of more than 500 OF
the largest hotels of the country at
Washington recently when they ban
ished wheat products from their menu
from this date until the next harvest.
The Food Administration has received
a number of reports OF business men,
professional men, farmers and others
having foresworn the use OF wheat
-four until the next harvest.

WHEAT MUST
BE MARKETED
Food Administration Calls
Upon Farmers to Market Ali
Except Supply Necessary for
Own Use.

Raleigh.-State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page has been instructed by
the Food Administration at Washing
ton, in order to assure the continuous
shipment of wheat to our armies
abroad and the armies of our Allies,
to appeal to the farmers Of the State
to market the residue of their wheat
not later than May 1. No general or
der requisition1ning wheat has been
sent out by the Food Administration
up to this time and probably will not
be sent out before the date mentioned.
In some states the attention of
State Food Administrators has been
called to reports from loyal farmers
that a number of pro-German farmers
have determined to withhold their
wheat from the market in order to
handicap to as great an extent as pos
sible the Government and it's Allies in
the war against Germany. There
have even been a few such instances
reported in North Carolina. Such
cases will be promptly investigated
and persons in this class will be di-
rected to market their wheat immedi.
ately upon penalty of having it con-
f1scated by the Government.
Administrator Page is confident OF
an immediate and patriotic response
upon the part of wheat growing farm
ers in North Carolina who still have
wheat on hand. Mr.. Page states that
there 10 no pecuniary reason why
wheat growers should not market all
of their wheat beyond their own re-
Quirements until the next harvest. 1t
is possible that higher price will be
fixed by Congress for the coming crop
but it would not apply to wheat from
the last harvest. Further, there is
really some danger that the next crop
will not sell at as high a price In
North Carolina as wheat is selling at
present because the rate of $3.50 per
bushel fixed by President Wilson by
proclamation may be made to apply
to all sections regardless Of freight
differentia1s, etc.
There is a further chance that the
smaller mills which are now unre-
stricted as to the price they may pay
for wheat may be restricted to the
basing price minus freight from the
nearest basing point which would be
from $21O to $2.15 per bushel from
most points in North Carolina.

AN AMAZING CASE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Synchronous with the order of a judge to exclude from the record of a murder trial all mention of testimony the teeth marks, was an order in another court releasing prisoner charged with first degree murder to permit him to become state witness in the trial of a number of men whom he duplicates ina murder charge The exclusion of expert and tother testimony as to identity of im-, pressions of girl prisoners teeth and marks on the arm of a murdered wom- an may be observed merely as the close The release of man accused for three years has defied the shrewdest detec- tives of New York. is nneomplimen- tary comment upon some phases of what we call modern civilization.
 few years ago Barnett Baff, a wealthy poultry dealer, was murdered in cold blood by hired gunmen, who were captured only after some extra ordinary maneuvering to protect them. evidently by the influences which pro- vided the motive and cash for assas- sination. Ultimately two or three of the tools were convicted, and at pres ent are in the death house at Sing Sing, but the detectives and other agencies interested in punishing the crime were unable to reach 4he men at the top. Now. within a few days of his trial for his supposed part in the murder of Baff, one of the men higher up' gains which the Prosecuting attorney hopes will convict about 25 others, so far unnamed,
 It is one of the most astounding in- stances of organization for business and murder ever exposed and not the least amazing part of the sordid story is that Baff himself contributed to the fund that paid the wages of the gunmen who later took his life. The system operated so smoothly that the murderers did not learn the identity of their real employers, and so far as any one knows to the contrary, the or ganization is in its old form. Fiction has provided few cases of stronger improbability than is displayed in ev- cry angle of the Baff murder case. If it were fiction 1t would be laughed at for its absurdity, which makes the cold facts all the more. astounding.
