Chief of Police in New Haven Declares Proposed Match Would Be ''Prizc Fight

New Haven Jan. S.-A permit for a 2O-round boxing match between Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee, January 16 here was revoked by Chief of Police Smith today on the ground that the arrangements made outside Connecti cut indicated that it was intended to be a decision or prize fight which would be in violation of state law.
 Chief Smith stated that when he gave the permit he understood that the event was to be purely boxing exhibition.
 The chief added that since the per nit was issued q new condition arose in the arrest of MT. Garguilo, the local representative of the promoters and wit h this added circumstances he could not but feel but the good name and order of the community would not be served by allowing the fight to go oIt. Garg1ilo was arrested in connection with the recent raids on saloons by in ternal revenue anl federal officers. He has been manager for SabatinoS res taurant, so-called, in which there was a mysterious fire on New Year s morning.
 The proposed bout was entirely ar ranged by New York men.
 Telegrams for tickets and reserNa,- tions for it have been coming in in the past few days from various parts of the country.

Massachusetts and COnnecti- cut to Arrange For Ex-
 tradition of Vendors.

Hartford, Jan. S.-Massachusetts and Connecticut will fight out the issue as to who shall get the New York wood alcohol cases for trial at a conference in New York Friday afternoon. District Attorney Charles H. Wright, of Western Massachusetts, will present the arguments for the Bay State, and Police Court Prose- cutor Alexander W. Creedon. of Hartford. will present Connecticut's side. Assistant District Attorney Joseph F. Mulqueen, Jr., of New York, and Federal Prosecutor Leroy w. Ross will take care of the federal end of the conference. Because of the fact that grand jury is now in session in Springfield an impression has arisen that Romanelli. Saleeby, Ware and the other New Workers held in connection with the crime would be taken there. If this should happen. Hartford county authorities would undoubtedly consent to the ex- tradition to Massa chusetts of Nathan Salsberg, Saul Joseph, Jacob Broner- wine and Frank Rose. regarded here as the middlemen in the poison whiskey transactions.
 Twelve men are at present under federal indictment in New York for traffic in the wood alcohol whiskey, and four of them-John Romanelll. undertaken; Samuel K. Saleeby, drug gist; Edward Ware, clerk, and Wii- liam H. Weller. truckman-are held in bonds. In addition to these. Paul Nassotta, barbershop proprietor, and Frank Soricelli, saloonkeeper, are under arrest in the Bronx charged with being accessories in the crime.
 Bonds Reduced.
 New York. Jan. S.-Bail Of s1OOOO0 each on which William Weller, Samuel K. Saleeby, Edward G. Ware and John Romanelli. charged with the distribution of wood alcohol which caused 100 deaths in New England, New York and New Jersey were held. was reduced today to s5O,00O each by order of Federal Judge Ward. Romanelli. the only de fendant who has furnished the neces- sary amount, is being held pending an investigation of his bondsmen. It is considered likely that the men will be turned over to the Massachusetts authorities to be tried on homicide charges.
 Two arrests were made in Brook lyn today in connection with d1strl- button of colored grain alcohol as whiskey. They were Jacob Steinberg. a former liquor dealer, and Frederick Grazini, a barber. Technical charges of violating the war time prohibition act have been made against them.

 London, Jan. S.-The situation in Russia IS about as bad as could be, from an anti-Bolshevill point of view, according to British war office reports and there are few signs indica ting any likely improvements.
 There are two especially menacing developments. First, General Depi- kine's army has been cut in two through the Bolshevik push 10 the sea of Azov at Takanrog and it's Hanks have been thrust back. leaving a large gap. In addition. comes q claim from the Bolsheviki of the capture further east of the town of krasnovodsk. on the Caspian sea. and while this is not confirmed it is generally accepted as true.
 May Ovcrrun Persia.
 The capture of this important port of krasnovodsk creates the grave DOS sibility tbat the Reds may overrun northern Persia and occupy Teheran, which would probably mean the es- tablishment of Boishevik rule in Persia. The taking of Krasnovodsk permits the Reds not only to control a large part of the important Krasno- rodsk -Mery railroad, but gives them free access to the Caspian. There seems little then to prevent them from gaining control of the Caspian from the more or less ineffective volunteer fleet Once in possession of this sea there remains only a small British force and the poorly organized Persian forces between the Reds and the oc- cupation of Teheran and northern IGrSltl, through WnlCn would SNlSL the possibility of their obtaining control of the whole country.
 Bnku Seems Doomed.
 Baku, with it's important oil supplies on the western coast of the Caspian, seems likely also to fall into Bolshe- vik hands, and it's occupation would provide a base for further operations against the rear of Denkine's hard pressed right wing.
 If the BolsheVil reports are true, General Denikine has suffered u con- si iIerably disaster for not only have the Reds secured all land communication between his left and right wings but they have captured large quantities of war material including much sent him by the Allies.
 Little hope is held out here that, deprived of these supplies the .Den; kine forces can hope to make a re- sistance that would prove effective against the overwhelming Red armies

ReXalI Stores Conduct
Straw Vote Campaign

Who will be the next president Of
the United States? This question, Of
course, will not be answered officially
until the last of the returns are in
from the November election. But in
the interim, the Rexall stores of Am
erica are planning to forecast the re-
suit Of this important contest and if
they are as successful this year as
they were in 1916. the voters of the
country may look for a HARDING or
Cox victory, just as the returns from
the ReXall straw vote indicate.
There are 5000 Rexall stores
turnout the United States and in each
of these establishments there is a bal
lot box in each for men and women
voters. The management of each
store urges everyone of its customers
to cast their ballot. Fair play and
accuracy are to be the keynotes of
the Rexall Campaign and voters are
urged to cast but one vote. In this
way only can a fair estimate of the
result be obtained.
Ballot boxes may be found ut The
Bigelow Pharmacy in Newport and ut
Landry's Drug store in st. Johnsbury
Both of these are ReXall stores. Be
sure and cast your vote today If you
have not already done so. The daily
results of each city will be shown on
a bulletin board in both of these
stores each day and this paper Will
print the totals each week.
