HYLAN VICTIM Of
BUILDING TRUST
Under Severe Questioning New
York Mayor Admits That He
Was victimized by John r.
Hettrick's Labor I'm o n
Ganne'' in Building Contracts.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. H. Under the pres
sure of severe questioning, Mayor Hy-
Ian, on the witness stand today before
the joint legislative committee investi.
eating the so-called building trust"
admitted in the course of his testj-
mony that he had been made a victim
of John T. Hettrick's labor union
game, in the interests Of the limestone
trust"
Mayor Hylan hotly resented impu-
tations of personal interest in send
ing Hettrick's suggestions to the build
ing committee of the board of educa-
ton, which resulted in the placing of
contracts involving the expenditure of
more than fifteen million dollars being
placed with the stone cutters, instead
of going to the terra Gotta interests.
The investigation of the activities
of the alleged building trust" ring,
has resulted in the cancelling of many
contracts for public buildings by city
officials. The recent Wall street ex-
plosion, it is claimed in some circles,
was an outgrowth of the bitterness
engendered by the building trust.

.|5-ROUND BOUT At
THE GRAND TONIGHT
Jack Middleton, of jacksonville,
Will Meet Jim Rowe of Bruns-
wick, in Contest for Cham
pionship of the South Atlantic
States.

The Brunswick followers of the fistic
game will have the opportunity tonight
to witness one of the fastest bouts
ever staged in this city, when Jack
Middleton, Of Jacksonville will meet
Jim Rowe, of Brunswick, in a contest
! for the heavyweight championship OF
the South Atlantic States, which is
scheduled to go fifteen rounds to a
decision.
Middleton is the present holder of
the title, having won the champion
ship when he defeated Anderson here
several weeks ago. He is known to
the Brunswick fans as a clever boxer
and has won two Or three important
engagements since his last fight here.
His opponent, Jim Rowe. was form
erly an employee Of the Atlantic Re-
f1ning Company, but it is said, has fol
lowed the ring-game for the past six
months. during which time he has met
and defeated a number of top-notch-
ers. Rowe, it is understood, defeated
Anderson at a Florida town only a few
days ago, since his appearance here
with Middleton. He is fast boxer,
and is in the pink of condition. and ex-
presses confidence in his ability to de-
feat Middleton, thereby winning the
South Atlantic championship title.
Middleton arrived in the city last
night from Jacksonville. and says that
he has trained hard for the bout to-
night. and feels that his title is in no
danger of passing to Rowe. He made
la very favorable impression with
Brunswic people in his fight with An
derson. and will have many loyal root
ers in the audience tonight.
The evenings program will be open
ed with a battle royal between five
colored youths, which will be followed
by fast ten-round preliminary bout,
with Tulor and O'Rouke as the COM
batants. This bout will also go to
decision, and is expected to decide the
South Atlantic lightweight champion
ship. Both are game and clever box
ers, and this event is expected to prove
almost as interesting as the main at
traction.
The program will be commenced
promptly at $50 o'clock, and full
house is expected to be on hand to wit
ness the fight. a great deal of interest
being centered in the result. Ladies
will be especially wecomed. Moderate
admission prices of s110 for adults,
and So cents for children are announc-
ed. while Aing-side seats will be sold at
1920.
