ARGUMENTS ON APPEALS ARE
 POSTPONED

CHICAGO, June 16 (by Associated Press) ).-Argument on the appeal of William D. Haywood and ninety-three other I. w. w. convicted of violating the espionage act were again indefin- itely postponed in the federal court of appeals here yesterday owing to the } illness of the presiding judge. The case had previously been continued several times. The majority of the defendants are out on bail
 Ninety-seven officials and leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World, an organization for the union izing of workers by industries, were convicted on four conspiracy counts in the United States district court here in August, 1918 They were sen- prison sentences of from ten days to twenty years and ninety-three joined in appealing.
 The government had indicted 166 on four conspiracy counts-conspiring to prevent forcible execution of cer- tain federal laws; to intimate citi- zens from exercising certain rights; to induce male citizens charged to register for selective service to resist, and to cause disloyalty and refusal of duty in the military and naval forces. The last charge was brought under the espionage act.
 The appeal was based chiefly on > two general grounds-that documents seized by the government on search warrants Sept. 5, 1917, were erron- eously admitted in evidence as testi- mony as to acts of the defendants pre- ceding the passage of the espionage act. Attorneys for the government at the trial undertook to show the character of the l. w. w. organiza- / tion and that it had a fully developed program that was applied when war came.
 It was also claimed by the appel } lants that documents admitted in evi- dence were not shown to be theirs. The appeal brief contains 1926 pages of assignments of error
 w. D. Haywood, general secretary treasurer of the l. w. w., was looked upon as the leader among the defend ants as he held the highest office in the organization. There were six members of the executive board nor mally, of whom four were convicted. ! William Virtola was indicted but never apprehended and vacancy caused by the lynching of Frank Little at Butte, Mont, has not been filled. It was shown at the trial that the Industrial Workers maintained separate head quarters in the different cities for the various industrial unions, each of which had branch unions. Most of the heads of the industrial unions, known as secretary-treasurers, were among the defendants.
 The defendants were arrested in Washington, California, Arizona, Utah, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Michigan, Hi nois, New York and other states.
 The trial was followed by several sensational incidents, including the

OPINION.
Section 241 of the Mississippi con-
stitution, among other things, says
qualified electors must be "2l years
old and upwards Code Of 1906, sec
ton Alb, Hemingway's Code 6747,
prescribes the form of registration
books. 1t has a column for age.
Harmonizing this section 24l Of the
constitution, am of the opinion that
the only fact to be determined is that
the registrant is over 21 years of age.
Therefore, they can register as cover
l2l' or as "21 and upwards in the
language of the constitution.
| am aware Of the fact that the
custom has been to give ones age.
This is a matter of information on
two points. First, it is to ascertain if
they are over 2l years of age, and the
next is that they are under 60, there
fore, liable for poll tax. However,
the assessment is not taken from the
registration books, but is made up by
the assessor. Consequently, these
points are not vital in so far as it
relates to the poll tax. But there
must be some indication that they are
"2l years and upward /, therefore.
advise you that you need not require
the exact statement of the age of the
lregistrant. Yours very truly,

Some More Hard Luck
 For Owner Hildreth

New York, Sept. S-Sam Hildreth suffered another blow yesterday and is beginning to wonder when his long string of hard luck will be broken.
 Some time ago .he purchased the yearling full brother of the onetime e great Hourless from J. W. McClelland, and yesterday morning lost him from a most peculiar accident.
 The youngster was jogging along slowly with other horses and in Stum- bling broke his shoulder so badly that it was necessary to destroy him.
 The colt gave high promise of being a second edition of his illustrious brother, and the loss cannot be meas ured in dollars and cents.
 MT. Hndreth has suffered one mis- fortune after another with his horses this year, and the hardest to-bear un- til the loss of the yearing yesterday was the going wrong of lnchcape, for which he paid record price on July IS.
 This good two-year-old. after recov- ering from a skin disease, strained his ankle at Saratoga Springs and will not be able to start in the Futurity, after missing all his engagements up the state.

AUC|E RATNER IS READY FOR ARENA
 BATTLE TONIGHT.
Winner of Feature Bout May Soon Be Matched
 With Johnny Wilson.
BOTH MEN ANXIOUS
Arena Doors Open at 6 p. m< For Early Arrivals
 Show Starts at S:15.

Augie Rather, who boxes Johnn
 Wolgast in the feature bout of twelve rounds at the Arena tonight may soon face the middlweight champion, Johnny Wilson, who beat Mike |ODowd in Boston several weeks ago. Rather arrived in town today in the proverbial pink and is quite confident that he will show Johnny Wolgast the way tonight in their scrap. Wo1gast, however, feels he will be able to make the contender for the championship hustle 9. great deal in tonight's strug- gle and is also confident that rather than Rather meeting the champion it will be a, man named Johnny Wo1gast. The Bridgeport Athletic & Amuse- ment company will present tonight a well balanced boxing card with mid d1eweights, ightweights and bantams on the program and all of them are fast boys so action galore is promised from the tap of the gong in the first round to it's last clang in the final bout between Rather and WoIgast. At S:15 when Young MuIligan and Young Ritchie, two of Bridgeports' fu- ture greats, climb through the ropes to settle the question of supremacy it | is expected a packed arena will be on hand to greet this pair of warriors. Each boy has a large following and l each may be expected to put forth his
 
 cision which will place one or the
 other in line for more important bouts
 which are sure to follow.
 The second bout on the card. that 1 between Danny Powers, the sensa- tional Brooklyn bantam, and Joe Reed, the sturdy little Jersey City
 battler, will bring together two of the i best little boys in the East end as
 both are signed up for other bouts dependent upon Their success in to- nights affair, it is a cinch no love will | be surprising if it terminates before
 the prescribed eight rounds as both
 lads are stiff punchers and each has long list of kayoes among his victims The semi windup of ten rounds
 will show Johnny Lse feather

 In the final between Rather and | Wo1gast, two sturdy midd1eweights, lhave met the best men in their
 weight in the business and they con- sider their tilt tonight in the nature of an elimination bout as they are | sure that a crack at Johnny Wilson, | the new middIeweight champion, will be the logical outcome of tonights

IDOG SHOW BRINGS
 OUT HANGERS
Judges Applauded for Ex- cellent Work in Select
 ing Winners.

The annual Fairfield County Kennel club show, under the rules of the American Kennel club, was held in Noroton on the grounds of the Wee Burn Golf club.
 There was a large gathering of so- ciety people from adjacent summer colonies, and many visitors from near and far, as interested dog fanciers and exhibitors.
 The dogs were launched in a large tent and the judging rings were in the north ern end of the enclosure.
 Many handsome and noble dogs were exhibited, and ribbons, trophies and prize money were awarded the best dogs in the numerous classes.
 The judges were fir Anently ap- plauded for their decisions by the in- terested spectators.
 Among the dogs on exhibition was Cassie, the smallest French bulldog in the world, three years old and weigh ing 9 1-2 pounds.
 She was bred and is owned by Mrs D. Robertson of New Rochelle. Mig non Joufflu, a F,renchie owned by P T. Brennan of Bridgeport, is of the same stock.
 The superintendent was Frank F Doyle of the New York Sun and Her. aid and he was highly connplim ente ed by the exhibitors for his able manage ment of the show.

Joe Hall, the pride of the Crasho A. c. who is fast making a name for himself in the roped arena, is finding it hard to get any of the lo- cal featherweights to meet him. Mike Healey wanted to use him against Billy Prince the Walnut A. C.. card, but Red Bennett who looks af- ter Princes affairs put such a pro- hibitive price on Princes services that it looked as. though he wanted to duck a return go with the hard hit ting Crasho star.
 It will be recalled that Hall gave Prince quite a tussle in their last go. Hall has fought nine fights this sea son, winning six and losing three de- cisions to Billy Prince, Young 'O'Leary and Tommy Shay, and he is anxious to wipe those defeats out before the season closes.
 Hall is progressing rapidly and fistic experts who have watched him in his last three starts predict a great future for him. He is being handled by Moe Friedel, who has brought out quite a few stars around New York among whom are Terry Brooks, Dan ny Ridge and Al May.
