looms in operation in the city of ALI
ance, Ohio, there were 457 cases of

For the same months this year, with

KENTUCKY SHIPS
SEA OF WHISKY
Every One of 220 Cars Carrying
S24,0o0,000 Worth Has
Armed Guards

Lexington, Ky, Dec. PA $24,-
100000 stream OF whisky is flowing
toward the eastern seaboard today
some to New York, some toward Bal
timore. and probably more to New
port News, Va, and all from Ken
lucky Armed guards are on every
train to prevent theft.
1t is to be exported to various for
eign countries, a considerable amount
being consigned to Germany.
In each of the 22G cars required for
this, the greatest movement of liquor
from Kentucky ever known, is l0O
barrels, each containing so gallons, or
5000 gallons to a cara total OF l.
100000 gallons. Each gallon is esti-
mated to be worth $50 at least.
A monitor turret, with revolving
searohlight and guards armed with
guns of large caliber, was mounted
today on the roof OF a distillery near
Newport, Ky. which is situated near
a river and where $4,000 barrels OF
whisky are in storage.
The searchlight in the turret is
kept playing all night, while the
guards are constantly on duty. 1t is
feared that an attempt may be made
to make a raid Kentucky whisky in
terests will probably file suit soon
after January 10 to recover their al
legged losses from the government.

Fourteen hundred gallons of
alcohol stored at the Seventh
street wharf, New Orleans, and
awaiting shipment to Trieste,
Italy, have been drained
through holes drilled in the
bottoms OF the barrels by
thieves who worked from un-

The theft was not discovered
until longshoremen began load

when they were discovered to
be light. The alcohol was val
ued at more than $4,000.

Johnson Loses His Eye

Johnson was hurried to the Bow
Street station where the police ser
geant dressed the wound, and was
then taken in police motor car to
his apartments. He suffered great
pain most of that night and the neXt
morning Captain Arthur Evans,
prominent surgeon, was summoned
who recommended specialist and
hospital treatment. A careful exam
ination revealed the fact that the eye
was much more seriously injured than
at first supposed and it was finally
determined that it would be neces-
sary to remove the injured eye. This
was done on Thanksgiving Day and
Mr.. Johnson is now on the road TO
recovery.
True Britishers Decry Attack
The affair raised mighty protest
from the sportsman-loving Britishers
who believe in fair play and express
sions OF sympathy are being extended
to Mr. Johnson from the anti-Prohi-
bitionists as we'll as the Prohibition
lists. The king shortly after the out
rage expressed great concern and
made anxious inquiry concerning the
extent of Mr.. .Johnson's injuries. The
lord chancellor also condemned the
assault and was warm in his praise OF
the sportsman-like way in which
Johnson accepted the situation. y
deputation of students representing
practically every college of the Uni
versity of London waited on Mr..
Johnson to express their regret over
the injury and stoutly maintained that
the missile which injured Mr.. John
sons eye was not thrown by a STU
dent
An old gentleman in the south cf
England has addressed letter to the
Temperance Alliance accompanied by
a check for ten pounds just to show
his good will, saying that he would
be glad to provide for Mr.. Johnson's
entertainment for two weeks in any
hotel on the south coast. Many invi-
tatons have been extended to NJ.
Johnson by private citizens to come
to their country homes during the
period of convalescence and the invi
tations for him to address clubs and
civic organizations are coming in in
such numbers that Mr.. Johnson could
not possibly accept all of them. The
press voices the sentiment of the peo-
pie that Johnson is true sport and
a Christian gentleman
The London Dairy News started d
testimonial which met with hearty
response. The News has been de-
cidedly unfriendly to the Prohibition
cause. Mr. Johnson directed that the
fund contributed in this testimonial
be given to the ST. Dunstan's Hostel
for the blind. This action OH Mr..
Johnson's part is in harmony with his
attitude on the affair from the begin
ming. He has not voiced word of
complaint but has looked upon the
proceedings. as a student prank and
even sent a message to the students
assuring them that he held no ill-will
toward them. In other columns of
this Issue are statements from prom
inent British citizens and the British
press on the affair which give fair
estimate of the present British mind
on the subject.

Weight Unimportant
Says Carpenter

American fight fans who have
been figuring whether Georges Car
pentier's lack OF poundage the
Frenchman scales about 1855 pounds
would e a help or hindrance to
him In his next titular fight, might
gain q lot Of consolation from the
dope on notable ring engagements OF
TIE past. In nearly oil Of the heavy
weight contests OF not, the lighter
man has triumphed. until many Of
the ablest critics believe it is easy to
have too much weight.
John L. Sullivan scaled around
212 pounds when he was beaten
down by Jim Corbett. Gentleman
Jim" weighed only 1s4 pounds. Sulli-
vans closest friends believe he was
Handicapped by, the weight because
he usually weighed 200 In fighting

scaled but 1855 pounds. Fitzsimmons

Back In the early days OF the ring
sport, the same condition held good.
Jem. Mace never weighed more than
i65, but he trimmed Tom Allen, the
American six footer who scaled 200
Mace was muscular but ne possessed

Sam Iangford, In the old days
when he was at his best, never
weighed more than ITO pounds. yet
he could have won title no doubt,
had he been given the opportunity
to fight for one. Landlord was a

Then there Ia the Dempsey Will
ard match. Dempsey was nearly
twenty-five pounds lighter than Will

in Jig time. Carpenter will not
sacrifice much II he meets Dempsey.
The champion will weigh about 100,
or not to exceed 1ss pounds. and the
Frenchman is not likely to weigh
under $50. There would not be
enough difference to cut swath.
Carpenter Is not worrying about the
poundage. He gave away nearly
twelve pounds when he fought Beck.

ances in the ring Mike went over
seas-the only ring champion to go
across. When he came back he got
busy again, meeting Jack Britton,
Ted Lewis, Mike Gibbons and others.
His bouts with two welterweights
weren't very thrilling. but O'Dowd
gained considerable praise by out
pointing Gibbons. That bout was last
fall, and since then Mike had been
going good. uGing knockout wallop
with the desired effect.
Then along came the bout with
Wilson at Boston. 1t was to be a
decision affair and was SO announced,
but not much publicity was given It..
Little was known Of Wilson in the
west. But in a sizzling fight In which
he knocked The champ down for the
count OF four In the second round,
Wilson clearly outpointed O'Dowd
and earned the decision and title.
And in licking the three year
champ Wilson showed himself to be
a mighty clever boxer as well as
heavy puncfter His ring generalship
was superior to that of O'Dowd and
he handled himself more cleveriy
than the slower O'rowd.
When folk who didn't know about
Johnny got to looking him up they
found that he had been prepping for
that title bout for some time. He had
fought 1913 battles, winning forty two
by knockouts and Atty eight by de-
cislon. 1t is said that his eight defeats
were out-pointed affairs and that his
record is clear OF knockouts which
had him on the receiving end. He has
taken on many of the good ones. too.
He is southpaw boxer-like Me-
Coy. He's fairly young, being twenty
seven and is a clean liver.
1t really looks as tho the middle
weight crown, buffeted around in
haphazard fashion for years, is about
to find bit OF peace and content
