Although outweighed eleven pounds
by Johnny Saxon, the Newark scrap
per, Johnny Howard, Bayonne's fight
ing cop, last night showed up as the
better man in the e~ight-round final
bout of the Lotos Club shows at Pal
ace Hall here. Howard showed that
weight was not everything and his
cleverness made him a big favorite
with the crowd. There was plenty of
action from start to finish, both men
being able to take any amount of
punishment. The first two rounds
| were Towards by q long shot. In the
third round Saxon opened up a cut in
Towards eye and this evidently both
| cred the Bayonne artist not a little.
The third and fourth rounds were
| Saxon'S.
Some quick work on Towards eye
\ by his seconds seemed to lessen the
pain and in the fifth m sixth rounds
he came back so as to even matters
up. In the seventh round Howard
had things more his way n in the
final spasm he landed a veritable hur-
ricane of uppercuts and short but
hard jabs into Saxon which were
sufficient to give him the benefit of
any doubt.

PAY $4,000 To
NEN EVERY DAY
Stacks Of Paper Money Melt Away
at Camp Grant as Soldiers
Are Discharged.

Camp Grant, Jan. 2e.-Fifty
thousand dollars q day in cash il
the approximate amount being ex.
pended by the rehabilitation sec.
ton of the quarteTmaster corps fin
ance division, in paying off dis
charged soldiers at Camp Grant.
Huge stacks of greenbacks-s1C
bills are the largest denomination
OF currency used-melt away fast
as the long lines of soldiers file
past the paymaster's table, receive
their money, salute and step on to
take their discharge papers.
Three officers and twenty en-
listed men, all specialists in hand
ling mney with great speed and
accuracy, have charge of this i'm
portant work, which starts each
morning at s o'clock, and which is
usually completed by l o'clock in
the afternoon.
Thus far, the record is the pay
Uent of 800 soldiers an hour. Cap
Tain S. FL. Francis, an old army pay
master with Lieutenant H. A. New
comb and Lieutenant John Murford.
both graduates of the army finance
school, superintend the work.
In order to comply with the rul-
ing that soldiers are to be diScharg-
ed four days after their arrival at
Camp Grant, the company COM
manders are required to have the
payrolls in the hands of the finance
division within As hours after the
men reach camp. This allows the
paymaster two days to check the
rolls and pay the men.
An ingenious change list machine
figures the total number of pennies,
niCkels, dimes, quarters, etc, need
ed to pay each organization, so that
when the paymaster's task is fin
ished there is not a cent remaining
on the plush cloth covering the pay
table. This change list machine
takes into account all the differ
ences in rank and factors affecting
the pay of the men, so that each
. soldier can be paid the exact
NGnount due him without the neceS-
silly. of the quarteTmaster corps
carrying any surplus money to
make change.
Besides paying the men off, the
finance division provides them
with travel money upon the basis
of IL cents per mile to point of
enlistment. The soldiers are given
special certificates to enable them
to travel for two cents per mile if
they are returning to their homes
Because many Of them collected
travel money to points far down
south, and then went only as fax as
Chicago where they squandered the
balance of their money and were
left stranded, the coIored troops at
Camp Grant are now being sent to
southern camps for discharge
Discharge officers are not paid
by the finance division, but through |
the disbursing department of the |
quartermaster corps.
