Two seasons ago Johnston made a short and disappointing visit to the East. At that time he was far from form and was soon replaced by John k. Strachan. So far as the records show he has done little since that time. His re-entry to the game and his performances here will be inter estins, for there has never been any question as to his remarkable skill and ability.

There was little or no betting go- ing on on the fight here today. So far as the writer observed not more than $500 of local money Is on the fight. Of course, there are ten and twenty dollar bets, but that money means nothing in an affair like this one.

Robert Kinsey has been a most con sistent player In the Pacific coast tournaments. He stood as competi- tor in the Panama Pacific champion ships in 1915. In that competition he was defeated by Ward Dawson at s-2 6-3, and as Dawson has played here without creating much of a sen sation, it would fairly indicate the approximate form that may be ex- pected of Kinsey.

SHARP REPLY IS
Sent BY ALLIES
TO GERMAN NOTE.
Demand Suppression Of Plan
for Union of Austria With
Germany - Threaten
Armed Force.

Berlin, Sept. s.-(Via Basle,)-
The German reply to the note of
the allies with regard to representa-
ton of Austria in the German
reichsrath says the German peace
delegation informed the allies May
q that Germany had no intention
to modify the Austro-German
boundaries by violence, but could
not undertake to oppose German
Austrian spontaneous desire for
union with Germany.
The allies acknowledge receipt of
this communication on June 10, the
reply says, and therefore Germany
felt authorized to insert article 81 in
the constitution.
The supreme council of the peace
conference on September 2 sent a
note couched in forcible terms to
the German government pointing
out that article 81 of the German
constitution conhicted with article
80 of the German peace treaty for
bidding German interference in
Austrian affairs. The article in the
German constitution referred to
provided for the representation of
Austria in the German reichsrath
and the council demanded suppress
sion of this article within a fort
night, declaring that otherwise the
allies would be compelled to under
take further occupation of the right
bank of the Rhine.

Force Acceptance of Ac-
tors Demands.

New York, Sept. 5.-A strike of the
stage hands in l69 theaters through
out the country where Shubert pro-
auctions are being offered has been
ordered by the International ALI

Shubert shows, ordering out at once
all who are working in theaters
owned or controlled, wholly or in
part, by the Shuberts, or where
these productions are booked by

ton was being taken against the
Shubert interests because they were
regarded by union officials as largely
responsible for the managers re-
fusal to grant the Equity's demands.

stage hands in quitting at Shubert

SHOTS FIRED IN
. Thief CHASE IN
COUNCIL BLUFFS
Man Held for Speeding Tries
to Sell Machine-Runs
When Officers Ex.
press Suspicion.

Twenty minutes after Motorcycle
Officer w. H. Brown brought a big
Haynes car to the Council Bluffs
police station and charged its
driver with speeding, the same
car and driver figured in a sem
sational chase, during which Emer-
gency Officer Barritt fired four
shots and chased the man for half
an hour through the heart of the
city of Council Bluffs before catch
ing him.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon
the big car was speeding on West
Broadway and Officer Brown had
to touch a 60-mile gait before he
stopped its driver. At the station
the man gave the name of Louie
Freedman. He admitted he was
"going some" and put up $40
cash bond for his appearance in
police court this morning.
The officers noticed that he was
nervous and seemed anxious to get
away.
Twenty minutes later Floyd Jones
and Barney Burnham, garage men
at III Broadway, three blocks from
the station, telephoned that a man
was trying to sell a fine Haynes
car at cut price. Officer Barritt,
who was not at the station when the
speeder was brought in, witnessed
the mans efforts to sell the car to
Jones. who pretended a willingness
to buy. Jones then invited the driver
to go with him to the police station
to see if the title of the car was
clear. and Officer Barritt. who was
in plain clothes, accompanied them.
The alleged owner of the car be-
came suspicious before they had
gone a block and leaped from the
car with Barritt in pursuit The
chase led through West Pierce
street and through back yards, with
Barritt taking a shot at the fugi-
tive occasionally. At Fourth street
and Willow avenue Jones and Burn
ham appeared with the car, picked
up Barritt and resumed the chase in
the car, catching the breathless flu
gitive on the south side of Bayliss
park.
At the station the man gave the
name of Frank Mitchell instead OF
Freedman. The car bears a Ne
braska license and the officers say
there is no doubt about it being
stolen.

SPARK FROM AN
AUTOMOBILE IS
CAUSE OF FIRE
Sets Machine and Filling Sta
ton AbIaze-Water Cut Off
and Entire Block Is
Threatened.

A threatening fire on the South
Side was stopped yesterday after
noon by the prompt action of the
fire fighters from the Twenty-fifth
and L street station, who quenched
big blaze at AIS at the Standard
Oil filling station, Twenty-fourth
and O streets, with chemical ap-
paratus.
Wooden Buildings; No Water.
Within 20 feet of the blazing sta
ton was the Butcher Workman hall,
a long wooden structure, and dan
gerous material to be near the
flames, as the water supply of the
business district was turned off at
o'clock for repairs to the main. Be-
hind the hall is a block of frame
buildings and on the north side and
across the street are the principal
business blocks of the South Side.
The fire was caused by spark
from the ignition button of an auto
owned by DR.. J. Boston Hill, 1924
North Twenty-fourth street. DR.. Hill
with two other physicians, drove up
and asked for two gallons of gaso-
line from George w. Hunter, station
attendant. The tank overlooked
after small amount had been put
in and DR.. Hill and the attendant
discussed whether or not it was
really full. Meanwhile some of the
gasoline became vaporized by the
suns heat and flame shot up from
the dashboard. The car was soon
in flames and set fire to the pro-
iecting roof of the station.
The insurance on the auto expired
May /. 1t was valued at $765 and
is a total loss. Damage to the oil
station is set at $500. DR.. Hills
clothes were scorched and his eye
hrows burned.
