EISSE TO NEW YORK.

Johnny Ftsse liked Memphis after a few trials. but left the place
at on Its back when he hooked up well in New York.
The same Is true of Eddie CoulOn. Eddie pcgged away a fine
chance to become champion when he met Herman at the Phoenix. Early
IN the bout he soaked Pete on the jaw and rocked him from head to
iioo', ot a AFRAID to follow his advantage and was easily beaten. Had
he stepped In he might have won n fortune.
Bobby Robtdou never made any big money in his dy hut ne opcr-
ated around Memphis to get his early kalc In fact he STAYED here
until he was drowned at a local swimming pool
THE CASE or MOORE.
IN strange contrast to this is the case of Pal Moore, who made
more money In hSe early days In New Orleans than he did in Memphis.
me largest piece of change he collected in Memphis was when he
trimmed Pste Herman In u no-decsion bout at the Lyric. For this he
got about $4,000.

Memphis seems To be the starting point for New Orleans boxers.
II you care to- consult the records you will find that every boxing star
or notet from the Crescent city was put on the right track here. The
list includes Pete Herman, JoC Mandot, Eddie COulon. Johnny Fisse and
Bobby RohdOu
Herman was a fair prelim hov when he earned a reputation in
Memphis by beating Coulon, tissC, Nate jackson and several Others.
New Orleans fans then woke up 10 the fact that they had a won
oerfui antam and in a very short while he was champion of the world
Mandot couldn't land a bout until llaCky RagEiO took him in charge
II hecame the idol OF the French market Immediately thereafter and
matches followed rapidly from that time on The biggest purse he ever
earned came from New Orleans fans In November. 1912 when he drew
down nearly $4,000 for boxing 10 rounds with Champion Adj Nogast
1t might be mentioned here that the New Orleans mill proved the
turning point In the careers OF both boys Three weeks later Wolgast
dropped MS Utle and Mandot lost to Joe Rivers Bud Anderson then
knocked him for a row of brick warehouses and the Frenchman slipped
from the upper fry.

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Sentimental factors contributed to the better tone of today's stock market. A moderate rally in foreign exchange, removal of coal restrictions and assurances of easier money in the coming week in duced considerable short covering There also was some buying for the long account.
 The strongest features of the mar ket, however, were the speculative is. sues in the motor, oil, steel and equip. ment divisions, with liberal admixture of food, paper and miscellaneous spec ialties.
 Extreme gains of to S15 points in the many stocks which crumbled the day before were made at the active finish, many leaders closing at maxi. mum quotations. Rails played no part in the trading. Sales amounted to 55O,O00 shares.
 Bonds followed the course of the stock market, standard industrial is sues hardening. Total sales, par value, aggregated $12,S75,O00.
 A decrease of about $25,000,000 in actual reserves of the clearing house reduced the total excess to little more than $28,O00,000 while actual loans were increased by almost $3S,000, 900.

BY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Although foreign exchange had been moving steadily against the leading countries of issues for several months, it was not until this week that the movement assumed such threatening proportions at this center as to obscure all other developments in the securities mar ket.
 With the British rate at a discount of more than 25 per cent, not to men tion the far greater depreciation in Branch and Italian remittances, bank CTS and other dealers in exchange be gan to express grave concern and re- fer to international bankruptcy as as something more than an empty phrase.
 Financial experts say that the for eign credit deadlock constitutes a se- rious menace to this country's plans of world wide trade expansion. There was heavy liquidation during the week of foreign owned American securities, chiefly stocks and bonds.
 In it's immediate aspects, the rail road situation was further complicat- ed by indications that permanent measures for the return of the trans portation systems to private owner ship are not likely to be enacted by the end of the year.
 The other noteworthy event which helped to bring about the further shrinkage of stock market values was the furry in call money and the greater scarcity or time accommoda tions. This was largely prompted by the federal reserve bank, which made only a moderate advance In interest and rediscount rates.

PAVING PROTESTS ARE DENIED BY HE
 CITY COMMISSION

A protest on the part of property owners affected by the proposed paw ing by the city of parts of Madison and Jefferson streets and Twenty first avenue was denied yesterday morning by the city commission at it's regular meeting. The commission acted after hearing the report of City Engineer Hitchcock, who said the petition of protest represented the owners of 40 per cent of the total property frontage affected. A letter of City Attorney Sloan in regard to a question raised by Judge Woodward relative to the property within the district owned by men in the military service was also read.
 The petition of protest against the paving presented to the commission also objected against the extent of the district affected by proposition. This point was not altogether decid- ed, the commission adopting reso- lution to set March 19 as q day to
 hear the protests of various owners against the extent of the district
 The commission also instructed the city attorney to prepare an ordinance to provide the payment on the part
 of the city of the hospital bill ten dered by the county. The bill amounts to sS,332.20, for care of in fluenza patients at St. Joseph's and 1 the emergency hospitals. The claim
 was approved as filed. and will be
 met as soon as the ordinance for It is acted upon.
 The commission was addressed
 during it's meeting by ]. W. Walker,
 who stated the city had appropriated 1 portions of strip of property on North Third avenue owned by him. self and w. T. smith. He also stated that portions of their property had
 been appropriated for crosswalks and alleys. MT. Walker declared he and Mir. Smith would dedicate to the city all property taken, however, if the city would agree to yacate portion on North Third avenue and pay ths | owners $1,000. After discussion, the matter was held over. Mir. Walker ! agreeing 10 prepare descriptions and | data on the property for the infor- mation of the city manager.

Democracy in Dress

The enthusiastic and cnterprising reporter who assisted in chroniolng the the Metropolitan opera House at New York night before last on the occasion of the double appearance of President Wilson and MT Taft, observed that it was all very demo on such occasion was rather anomalous and worth mentioning
 It seemed to the reporter to be democratic in ap- pearance beause hundreds of in evening clothes mingled with others in plain business clothes Such affair doubt, to the reporter proof the world had been ndubitably made safe for democ racy and that the had been fought in vain
 But this was not the first gathering in America that was democratic in appearance" We remember in the prewar days of long ago. when autocracy was still rampant seeing gentlemen in evening clothes, that is say in swallow spie-taled coats serving food to in plain and sometimes coarse business clothes. So democratic were these gatherings that the lowly in plain business clothes were wont to address the evening-clad servtors as George" or "Alphonse" or by some other similar cognomen, ind- eating strange familiarity between men whose clothes proclaimed them to belong widely different walks of life There was democracy for you, almost Athenian in it's purity. and nobody thought of loading up the telegraph wires with accounts of it.
 There were. of course in those days, as We sup pose there will be in these full-dress affairs, when the sitting the tables as well dressed as were the gentlemen who were handing their food to them But not such an occasion as that also democratic when all on a dead level of sartoral elegance?

the Main tah State highway. If nothing than the building of a road was involved the enterprise would not be attractive for the state at large But it the Arizona strip" that section of the state lying north of the Grand Canyon. but which, with it's vast possibilities might well belong to another state for all the use we make of it.
 Lately attention has been called it by the effort of Utah to secure it. and recently we have learned much of it's great undevoloped wealth. We have learned that it contains of the largest unbrokeu forests in the United States; that there are large deposits of low grade copper ore; that herds and nocks pastured there; there annual rainfall which makes dry farming on hundreds Of thousands of acres practicable and that water may be developed the irrigation of many thousands of acres Altogether, there is enough territory in that region for two counties each of which would possess greater natural wealth than the average Arizona county
 The interest which has lately been aroused in the strip has resulted in the passage of two bills to improve communication with it. One of them provides for the construction of approaches to Lees Ferry in the east and the other for bridge across the Colorado in the west It IS proposed that this bridge shall be on the route of the Arrowhead trail
 The Arrowhead trail is one Of the numerous state highways with which the of Utah sridironing itself It has constructed this to the town of St George i'm the outer limits of it's jurisdiction, and il is now proposed that an Arizona connection can be with it. it shall become main north and south highway. Not only would such @ completed highway give Utah and the north access to the Lincoln hshway but it would open to Arzonians their own Wonder laud north of the Colorado and would develop that into an important section of the state adding shortly some millions of dollars the tax roll.

 Testimonials endorsing our stand have come to US from the young and the old; from the clergy and the laity; from trade unions and advo- caSes of the sweat-shop system; from the learned and the illiterate; from baggage smashers and mani- curists, and, in fact, from people in all stations Of life.
