boxed as good, The army life sure did
wonders for him. l can cheerfully say
that the fans will see a real fight next
Monday night, fun Of action, and will
go home pleased.

did not make good, and he will have as

ANGRY P0RKER ASSISTS IN
RECOVERING STOLEN AUTO

After a lengthy search, the touring
car belonging to Paul Tankelthsil.,
which was stolen from in front of the
Majestic theatre OF the night of De-
cember 80, was located by Detective
~Sergeants Lawrence a. Long and John
A. HUFF with the assistance of Detec-
tive George J. Andrews of the auto
squad of the New York police force.
The car was traced to the metropo-
lis, and discovered in the garage of
Sally * Weisboder at 327 and 329
West Forty-ninth street. The car had
been stripped of all it's valuable parts
and entirely renovated, having a new
coat of paint, the number of the en-
gine chiseled off and the lights chang
cd, so that 1t was practically impos-
sible to identify the auto.
However, a pig. which the owner
had carried TO market in the back OF
his car one day, was the, real witness
for Tankelthsik, becauseN the animal
had fought 50 strenuously that It had
marked up the back of the car to u
considerable extent, and thus the
owner, when called upon TO identify
his car was able to recognize 1t by
those marks which the pig had made.
II police department was able TO
report today hat only one of the
many cars stolen during last year was
still missing, but the department has
not dropped the case as yet and may
discover the lost car in the near flu
ture.

cry and equipment to devastated
France, Belgium, Russia, Poland, Ar
menta, the Balkans, they will pay for
1t with the material they will manu-
facture out of their own raw mater
lals. There will be an international
commission to supervise the exchange
of commodities.
There will, in my opinion, be tre-

problem, too I believe the basis OF
that solution lies in the War Labor
Priorities Boards. They will furnish

Sale for Unpaid Taxes

Collector of Revenue Ellsworth b.
Walker is planning for the sale of
property for unpaid taxes to BE- held
on February IL. The taxes are due
from 1917 and previous years.
There are thirteen pages of about
eighty-seveH parcels Of land each in
cluded in the lists. The delinquent
taxes for 1917 include those of 695
parcels, the others being delinquent
taxes which are due prior to 1917.
The total number of parcels to be put
on sale is about 1.130.
The taxes due from 1917 and not
paid amount to 100000. The collec-
tor has not yet determined what the
total amount of the delinquencies is.
Advertisement of these properties
will begin shortly. The lists are be-
ing prepared for publication now.
Taxpayers who are ignorant of their
tax, or have neglected to pay it, will
have an opportunity between the
present and February IL to pay the
assessment against their lands and
have them removed from the lists.
Notice is being vinean. .shrdlu
Notice is being published calling at
tention to the sale. In all probability
there will be a rush of payments after
the first advertisement OF the land
and before. That Is the usual prece-
dent, as many land wne have neg
lected for one cause or another to
pay the tax due the city until they are
advised of their debt.
