fulton KNOCKS OUT
COWLER IN the 5TH

ST. Louis, March 11.-Fred Fulton
of Rochester, Mimi, knocked out Tom
Cowler of New York in the fifth round
of an eight-round match here tonight.
Cowlcr, up to the moment in the fifth
round when Fulton landed squarely on
his jaw with a left hook, had been the
aggressor and in at least three of the
rounds had an advantage.
In the first round Cowler caught Full
ton squarely on the chin and the Min
nesota heavyweight was groggy. Cow
Ter followed with a blow that closed
Fulton's right eye and the round ended
with all the honors for the New York
er. Fulton was still suffering from his
punishment in the second round but
rallied and sent CoWler to the mat for
the count of eight. The third and fourth
rounds were almost even with Cowler
having an edge for his aggressiveness.
Throughout Fulton had played for
Cowler's jaw and early in the fifth
round swung a left hook that sent Cow
Ter down The latter was up at the
count of eight but was sent down again
and counted out.
Fulton and Cowler met January g.,
1917, in New York, Cowler being knock
ed out in the first round.

I'VE have had enough of telling

What We want to know is what we

COAL PRODUCTION
No Material Loss on Ac-
count Of Recent Re-
ductiOn in Prices

Washington, March 1t-ReductionS in
coal prices annonced by the fuel admin
istration will not result in any material
loss OF production in the opinion OF Off
Gals who approved the changes. Fair
profit has been assured to more than s.
per cent. of the mines in each case they
say. and the remaining small number are
expected TO readjust their operating costs
TO permit them to continue business
without loss
Two reasons have been found by the
fuel administration for the high operating
costs which place a few mines outside
the prices fixed One is peculiar physical
situations which make the mining more
expensive, and the other is unwise ex-
penses. such as high salaries, heavy roy
alties or careless mana cement.
While prices for domestic coal are being
reduced sharply those for Industrial fuel
production will be stimulated in order to
speed up the war program.
The general scheme for the licensing of
coal jobbers is being worked out by the
fuel administration. Elimination of I'M
due expenses in coal distribution will be
sought, but there will be no effort to do
away with the legitimate middlemen, es-
pecially in New England and the North
west where domestic purchasers depend
on jobbers to very large EXTENT

Lloyd George Says Rela-

and Papers Are Of
the Best

London, March 11.-Replying in the
House OF Commons today to j. Austen
Chamberlain with reference to the rela-
tons on the government and the press
Premier Lloyd George said that Lords
Rothermere and Beayerbrook controlled
newspap ers when they became ministers;
Lord Northcliffe held ministerial offices
the governments of all the other Allied
countries employed Journalists and news
pa per proprietors. He dissented from the
suggestion that such a class was disqual-
flied.

added, had relinquished their newspaper
direction when they assumed Office.

qualifications the premier said that Lord
Beaverbrook had organized the Canada n
propaganda. 1t was acknowledged that
the propa ganda was perhaps the most
successful work Of its kind on the Allied
side
Mr. Lloyd George referred to the dead
ly effect OF the enemy propaganda in
Italy and Russia and the strong necessity
for counter action.
Measures taken had not given com
plete satisfaction" he continued, land
we invited Lord Northcliffe, who was
specially qualified and he consented to
undertake the task without ministerial
position"
All three men, the premier said, had
been selected because the government
considered them the best men for the po-
sitions.
The premier repudiated the suggestion
that he or any of the officials on his
staff was responsible for attacks made
by newspapers on admirals and generals.
