Kilbane Avoids va1Ger.

OF all the American titleholders
Johnny Kilbane appears to be the only
one disinclined to defend his honors
against worthy opponents. There are
half dozen able featherweights who
are eager 20 box Kilbane for the title.
but the Clevelander is never at loss
for an excuse to avoid meeting a DANE
gerous challenger. ~
Benny yalger, the French feather
weight has been the most persistent
challenger of Kilbane, but the cham
pion has industriously avoided his rival.
The Frenchman insisted on an answer
to his challenge and Dunn. manager of
Kilbane, yesterday said that II Valger
would weigh 122 pounds ringsde tho
champion would take him on for tits
match. fat
Naturally Dunn knows that valger
cannot make 1872 ringsde, and also sfs
aware that Kilbane cannot make that
weight proving that the stipulation OF
weight was merely an excuse to avoid a
bout
But there are other boxers who would
be glad to make 122 pounds ringsitie
for Kilbane. Eddie Mead Joe Lynch's
manager, yesterday declared the West
Side boxer would make the weight and
post forfeit for weight and appearances
frankie Burns, the Jersey City veteran.
also announced his willingness to make
the weight for a title bout with Rit=
bane, and Joe Leonard, the Brooklyn
featherweight, through his manager, Sill
vey Burns, accepted the proposed weight!

NELSON TUNNEL
 STRIKES MORE WATER
(From Fridays Dailv.)

Visiting rhc city yesterday from Crown King was Geo. P. Harr:ne on. manager of the Philadelphia
 lining Co.,. which -is.-opcrating the Nelson group, and his report Of re .ent operations would indicate that II a short time determination might be expected Of nature to be grat- iying 10 those interested.
 His observations as given are based .on q ,eavy flow of water being en- countered a short time ago, and the developing of an immense limestone condition which sometimes is indica- tive of a large mineral body coming ng. This opinion is shared by min ers of the district. and is considered o be infalib,e of the changed min eral situation that is coming in, and being accompanied by the tapping ot ;n immense volume of water gives credencc to the belief entertained as above stated.
 At any rate, Mir. Harrington is dated over the outlook, and the so- iution of the development problem, will soon be known. He stated the
 banged underground situation oc-
 'rrcd at q point in the tunnel 5000 'eet from tic mouth. and to reach he zone under an old shaft would require about 800 feet more for this tunnel to be driven. When this de- velop-nent is given from the apex to tlle point being strivcn for will be approximately $50 feet, and if the mineral condition exists below as in he shaft above, property of incalcu- ':ble resources in gold bearing ore will be fully proven.

Hon. William (. Redfield, secre- tary of commerce., before the Pur- chasing Agents association of New York, at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York City. Tuesday, May 20, 1919, in an address, said:
 Tt is, think, gerfiane to suggest that out of the helpful experience the nation has had during the war, and the readjustment period with govern ment operation or our great systems Of intercommunication. whether on sea. land or by wire, a fact has clear ly emerged which has peculiar in- terest for this assembly and which points a finger of warning for the niiole country. 1 do not recall that this special phase of government con trol of communication of all kinds was seriously discussed prior to the war, yet to my mind it is of basic importance. 1t has by itself settled my own judgment adversely to gov ernment operation in country as large as this of the great enterprises involved in cur railways, our merj-  chant marine, and our telegraph and telephone systems. I have called our experience helpful because through the work of the able and consci,n- tious fien who have handled all these activities, more has been learned of the essential factors O. the problems tran was possible bv pure theorizing. Nor is there in the background of my thought the smallest element of con troversy. This is meant 10 be a quiet, dispassionate study of import ant current subjects. necessarily in- complete because of the limits of time and space Nay, let me go farther. 1 wish 10 express my full confidence in the honor, uprightness and conscientiousnes Of gentlemen from whom I have recently differed.

SUDDEN DEATH OF POPULAR
 YOUTH

George stuth1Y 'a young man Of about seventeen years of age, was found dead yesterday afternoon a. about ? o'clock on the roof of the Grand hotel, which his mother, Mrs. A. s. Stutham, is conducting< Until |; coronsr's jury renders verdict the cause of Meath will not be officially known, but the theory that this youth had shielded, as was circulated is fully proven to have been erron- eous. 1t is belived that he was cleo trocuted, after an examination was made of the body by two local pnys- icians. and this version seems to be the best founded of any so far, from the fact that the roof carried electric wires.
 Leading up to this sad misfortune it was learned that young Stutham left his room al some time on We'd nesday etening and climbed through the skylight by a ladder to the roof, md it is probable that soon after reaching the top his feet probably cae in contact with live wire, when he was instantly killed. In falling on the metallic sheathing his nose was broken, and the profusion or Hood from the wound was due prob .b,y to an artery being severed.
 The discovery was first made by sister of the deaceased, who, mo- tcing that his features were unnat- ural. came rushing to the store oi sam Dreyer in the building and gave
 he alarm. Two clerks hastened ,bove and the youth was found to be lead.
 That he passed away from any [ hvsical illness is not believed. as hs aealth was excellent, his mood was oherful and his physical vigor was rerfect. He had recently returned
 rom attending school in California. and ais genia, manners made him many friends. In view of the man 1er of his death, as given above. the theory of suicide is not to be enter lained by the official investigation going on.
