would say is 'Lawd help him II he
met Al Roberts"
But it is a ~foregone conclusion
hat when Roberts meets Turner 1t
will not be the Turner that fought
last night but the Turner who has
made followers of the first game sit
up and AXE notice, many of whom
pronounce him n of the leading
heavies in the game.
Turner's judgement was far from
being good last night. He missed
punch after punch aimed at Saxon
and he failed to get h range so
as to make his jabs effective. Turner
landed one blow-and that not until
the eighth round-that sounded as If
it had some force behind it and this
was q sample of the kind of wallops
him." The spirit" apparently was
conspicuous by its abence last night
however.
Toney Wins With X. o.
Kid Toney, of this city. brought the
six-round semi-final to a sudden close
when he landed the famous cuckoo
blow on the anatomy of Young Mes
bit in the initial round. Toney open
ed up with the sounding of the gong
inc after twice flooring Nesbit landed
one punch which meant curtains
and finish, go home" for the County
Scatter.
Toney is fast getting into shape and
has a combination of blows which
few can stand up under. He will
probably be selected for another six
round out in the near future.
Three, instead of the advertised
two, preliminaries were offered. the
first coming to an end in the second
round when Referee Harry Ertle
stopped it as Young Egmore, of this
city, was far ou~tclassing Young Rena
of New Brunswick. the Amboy lad
hitting his opponent at will.
One of the fastest and best scraps
Of the night was the four round go
between Young Colby, of Chrome and
Jimmy McCran, of Elizabeth. These
two boys went the full time and were
about as evenly matched as one would
care to see. McCran started off a lit
tie stronger than Colby, but the
| Chrome boy soon evened matters UP.
In the extra four, Kid Corona, of
| Staten Island and Charley Britton, OF
New Brunswick, met in what was to
be the deciding bout between these
! two as each had shaded the other
| once. In the estimation of most of
| the fans still another bout will be
| necessary as they broke even last
night.
A large crowd was on hand last
| night to witness the bouts. The last
| of the Friday night bouts will be
| staged next week, when two eights, a
! six and a four round scrap will be
| staged. Thereafter the fights will be
| held on Tuesday nights. In one of the
| Fights next week Harry Apologize,
of New Brunswick, and frankie
FIemming, of Staten Island, will

PolNDExTER's SERVICE.

The nation owes a large debt TO
Senator Poindexter for the coura-
geous stand he took when the original
covenant of the league Of nations was
presented to the American public with
the curt admonition, "Sign here" The
covenant came to this country with all
the prestige that the administration
press agents could give 1t by months
of official publicity; it came AS a
sacred document, to he accepted In
humility, and any proposal to change
1t WAS officially denounced as sacri-
legious. Senator Poindexter was one
Of the few men In public life who was
neither overawed by the artificial
sOlemnity thrown around the document
nor lntimidated by the unreasoned sen
timent in favor of 1t, sentiment
founded largely on popular ignorance
Of just what the covenant meant.
AS result OF the fearless and clear
analysis of Senator Poindexter and
the few other senators who joined with
him, the covenant has been radically
altered and public sentiment. once So
enthusiastic for the original draft, nov
recognizes the wisdom of the changes

UNIFORM REGULATIONS.

Regulations governing the wear
ing of the army uniform are as fol-
lows:
Uniforms can be worn for only
four months after leaving the SER
vice, and thereafter should only be
worn on special patriotic occasions.
When in uniform a man, regardless
of discharge, is considered a soldier
and is subject to the same regula-
tions so governing. No one is al
uniform with civilian attire; he
must either wear all his uniform
or none of it, and it must be kept
neat looking.
Regulations for the navy are very
much the same, except that no man
who has been in the navy is allowed
to change back and forth from his
uniform to civilian attire. Once he
has laid aside his uniform, he must
not wear it again promiscuously, but
may wear it on special patriotic
OCCdSIOUS.
Constantly sharpers are taking adj
vantage of the sentiment connected
with the uniform. especially That
of overseas. to assist in panhandl-
ing the public and practicing a var
iety of fraud, soliciting for maya
zine subscriptions being favorite
form of dipping the public.
1t is a federal offense, $4,000 fine,
for any man wearing a government
uniform to solicit or peddle any
thing on the streets, according to
army regulations.

GUARD AGAINST FIRE.

AS the dry season is now ap-
preaching, too much care cannot be
taken to prevent the outbreak of
fire The careless dropping of cigar
and cigarette stubs might start a
conflagration that would destroy
millions OF dollars worth of timber
or other property. People passing
along the highway should be care
ful not to throw out any lighted
cigars or cigarettes in the dry grass
along the roads, or in the woods.
All camp fires should be carefully
put out old waste and oily rags,
around the garages, should be pro-
perly disposed Of. A little care
will prevent the loss of valuable
property and possibly the saving OF

The first time in their history, will get
Il fair deal from the transportation
companies. The bill passed the Sen
ate at the last session, but was lost
in the House owing to the pressure Of
war matters and the congestion which
developed during the closing weeks
1t is believed, however, that large
ma jority of the members favor its
adoption.
In an interview today, Major Gen
eral William NJ. Black said:
The Poindexter bill is long step
in the right direction. The abuses
connected with railway freight rates
first attracted my attention in connec-
ton with army work. In fact. there
is no question but what the present
railroad tariffs constitute one of the
grossest impositions ever practiced
in this country.
"The tariffs for freight are still
based upon the old principle of charg-
ing all that the traffic will bear, a
relic of the days of unrcgulated mo-
nopoly. The railroads have practical
/ ~ driven water transportation out of
business in many parts of the coun-
try, hy making low cut rates at com
petltive points where water carriers
were trying to do business. Then
they made up the losses by oyercharg-
ing in other localities where there vas
no such competition. The system was
distinctly selfish one devised for the
greater prosperity of the railroads
and involved the exercise of autocratic
powers which do not rightfully belong
TO X nrmnn carriers of goods
water transportation can he re-
vived in many parts of the United
States rs a result of proper regulation
of railway freight charges. There
are manr classes of freight which
might profitably be sent by water TO

selves"

young men gave up their lives for
the cause of humanity. During
the conflict traitorous propaganda
lists were busy all over the country
and an effort was made to under
mine the constitution and overturn
the government Many of the pro-
pogandists were foreigners, but not
all of them. Enemy aliens were
sent to internrent camps, while
treacherous Americans were placed
in the federal prisons. Unfortun-
ately, some of the guilty ones es-
caped detection and conviction. 1t
is not too late to bring all such
to the bar of justice. The fact
that the war was won and that the
peace treaty is about to be signed
cuts no figure. Let all offenders
be properly punished.

insufficient. Haywood was the
head and front of the l. w. Nv. con-
spiracy and was sent to the federal
prison for a term of twenty years,
which we hope he will be compelled
to serve. He has the right of APP
peal, but he is not entitled to his
freedom unless his convict ton is set
aside by due process of law. No
promises made by him that he will
not engage in new conspiracies can
