Barn Used by Coal Company De-

The barn at the rear Of the Walker
residence. 2l3 Park avenue. was to-
tally destroyed by flames shortly
after noon yesterday. and another
barn at the rear Of the property at
2l9, was badly damaged by the blaze.
The large barn on the Walker prop

Little Rock Coal company. was a
mass Of flames when the fire depart
ment reached the scene and the other
barn had started to blaze, as had one
corner of the Walker residence.
There was no chance for the de-
partment TO save the one barn. so
the water was quickly turned on to
the residence, where the fire was lust
beginning to gain a foothold. and
when this blaze was extinguished the
water was turned on the other barn.
This fire was soon extingushed and
then the efforts Of the department
were bent on the extinguishing Of
the fire which was rapidly destroying
the coal company's barn. The barn
was Sonly a heap of smoudering
ruins by this time and the depart

BIG BOXERS TO HAVE VOICE
IN SELECTION OF REFEREE
Willard Changes Tactics and Starts
Hitting Hard, to Discomfort of
His Sparring Partners.

TOLEDO. Ohio, June 17.-Jess Will
lard and Jack Dempsey will have a
voice in selecting a referee to judge
their heavyweight championship con-
test here July 4, despite the prevail
ing impression that the third man in
the ring will be chosen by the Army,
Navy and civilian board of boxing
control. This developed today when
the board. in accepting Promoter
Richards invitation to pick the off,
cials for the contest, advised that both
boxers be consulted before a definite
selection is made.
The boards letter in this regard
says:
"A list of referees. who in the opin-
ion of the board possess the requisite
qualifications for the important task
in view will be submitted forthwith
to Willard and Dempsey for their con-
sideratfon, and from those whom they
actually approve the board will make
it's selection"
Willard said today that he did not
approve the suggestion to have two
judges outside the ring in addition to
the referee to decide the contest. The
champion said he would prefer to ac-
cept the decision of a referee. because
the judges, in viewing the contest
from outside the ring. probably would
not be of the same opinion as the
referee, and that their stand might
prove embarrassing
