Jack Bolan, manager of Young Jack Dempsey, who meets Lou Gomez here tomorrow night. is a regular oldtimer in the fistic game. He has many interesting tales to tell of the days when he used to scrap the topnotchers in bouts in which bare knockles prevailed, a boxing glove being entirely out of style then. Gnarled hands, with broken bones, evidenced by hard Jumps on his "dukes.e tell mute tales of gruelling and bloody bat ties that this old veteran must have fought.
 Bolan met many of the top notchers in his time. He was in his heyday along about 1896, and he used to give 'em all a battle, as the records will show.
 HE MET SOME OF
 THE TOP NOTCHES
 Some of the old warriors who Bolan used to battle to a show down were Johnny Collins, who used to be terror in these sec- tions; oscar Girar, Denny Galla- gher. Ray McJimpsey and others. Gallagher was Birmingham prod uct, Bolan says, and was a rip shorter in his day.
 Bolan fought as feitherweight. In his best condition he weighed 124 pounds. He tells of one of his last battles in this part of the country, a gruelling affair which he. won on a knock out.
 I was battling Ray McJimpsey in that fight" Bolan says, and McJimpsey was going great in those days. Strange to say, that fight occurred in Birmingham. The boys had to arrange a little private party for us that day, as the police

KEPT 1T QUIET

Washington, D. c., Feb. 18.-A
sauve-spoken old gentleman. an au-
tomobile and eye filling glimpses of
Florida scenery conspired to ease the
pockets of P. j. Pointer and his son,
H. P, of $25, 500, they informed the
police force here today, stopping off
en- route from Florida to their home
II Kersey, Pa. for the present. The
setting for the financial tragedy was
Ocala, Fla, they said, and the chance
meeting with the old gentleman tt
motor rides, stock deals and finally
plans for a big coup for which the
Pontzer's put up the $25, 500 as evi-
Gence of good faith. 1t seemed mis-
placed confidence, however, Pointer

IT SEEMS TO Be
ALL OVER
Passenger Trains on Both Railroads
are Now Pulling Up All the Way
Alongside the Union Depot
Platforms

The Star is in hopes that the trou-
-bles of the passengers at the union
passenger station, so far as having to
step off the trains into cinders. and
creep under dripping water tanks, and
climb over tracks, is concerned, are
over. The trains on the Seaboard now
pull along the platform to a point
where the passengers can comfortably
ahght. Train 80 of the Atlantic Coast
Line is also pulling up where the peo-
pie from the chair can get off on the
platform. We believe the Coast Line
people did this of their own accord.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Burns of
the Seaboard has tried to meet the
wishes of the travelling public in this
regard, but he might never have
known anything about it if the Star
had not gone to kicking. The clerical
force at Ocala has not approved of
the way the trains were stopped, but
it was out of their province The
trainmen have not been either prompt
to obey orders or care for passengers,
and it is evident they didn't yield until
they found they were in for trouble.
The great pacifier has been Mr. A S.
Wells of the state railroad commits
sion, and we hope he will be equally
as successful during his entire term
f, of office in Strengthening out trou-
bles between the people and the rail-
roads.
The Star yesterday received from
Tallahassee the following copy of a
letter from Superintendent Burns:
Tampa, Fla, Feb. IL.
Mr.. Lewis G. Thompson,
Secretary Railroad Commission:
Dear Sir: / have issued neces-
/ sary instructions to train crews that
coaches must be stopped at umbrella
shed at Ocala, and trainmasters have
been instructed to see that these in
structions are carried out, and am in
hopes we will not have any further
complaint. Yours truly,

NEAR EASTERN QUESTIONS
TO BE DISCUSSED IN LONDON
tAssociated Press)

London, Feb. 3.-The conference of
the British prime minister, Mr.. Lloyd
George, Premier BRAND of France and
Foreign Minister Sforza of Italy with
representatives of Greece and Turkey.
which is to open here Monday, Feb.
q, has for its object the settlement of
important Near Eastern questions
growing out of the Treat yof Sevres.
In point of world interest and per-
plexity it is expected to rank with
the now historic conferences of Hythe.
Brussels and San Reno.
One of the most interesting features
of the gathering will be the meeting
face to face of the delegates repre-
senting the new Greek government
under King Constantine with the for
mer Greek Premier Venizelos for the
first time since Venizelos withdrew
from Greece after the defeat of his
ministry in the elections and the re-
call of the king.
One of the most difficult issues con-
fronting the delegates will be the dis
position of the port of Smyrna and the
semi-circle of adjacent territory on
the Aegean Sea. 100 kilometers long
and 100 kilometers broad which, un-
der the terms of the treaty, was placed
under the sovereignty of Greece.
Since the signing of the treaty of
Sevres, however, Turkey has demand
ed the abrogation of Greek rights in
Smyrna as well as autonomy for
Thrace. Thrace was given outright to
Greece. The demand for autonomy in
Thrace is made by the Turks despite
the remuneration by the Ottoman gov
ernment of its sovereignty over Tur-
key in Europe outside of Constanti-
nople as well as its control over eight
or more islands in the Aegean Sea.
Maintenance of Turkish sovereignty
over the territory awarded to Armenia
is another demand of the Ottoman
government which is to come up for
settlement. In the treaty, it was pro-
vided that Armenia was recognized as
"a free and independent state" Tur-
key accepted the proposal that the
president of the United States should
be the arbitrator as to the frontier in
the provinces of Ezerum, Trebizond,
Van and Bitlis and as to the access
CT Armenia TO the sea.

THOSE SECTIONS OF THE STATE
THAT ARE GROWING THE FASTEST
SUPPORT GOOD TRADE BODIES
OF EIGHTY-FIyE COMMERCIAL
ORG GANIZATIONS IN FLORIDA.
: FIFTY EIGHT ARE IN SOUTH
ERN COUNTIES.

OF the eighty-five commercial or
ganiaztions listed in the year book Of
the state department of agriculture,
ffty-eight are in South Florida, as
against twenty-seven north of Marion
county. By far the greatest develop
nlent taking place in the state is in
South Florida. There are thirty-eight
commercial organizations in the
counties of Orange, DeSoto, Polk,
Manatee, Pinellas and Lake. The
greatest development in the state is
taking place in these counties.
The counties that are making the
greatest strides are all advertising ex-
tensively. And because they are using
a large amount of paid advertising
they are getting proportionately
larger amount of gratuitous publicity.
Those counties are being helped most
that are helping themselves.
The Marion County Board of Trade,
for which drive for $4,000 will be
made, starting Tuesday morning at 8
O'Clock, is the only commercial organ
iZation in this county. During the
past four months it has not had suf-
ficient income to employ a steno-
erapher. Marion county, in point OF
natural resources, is one of the rich
est counties in Florida.
1t is the opinion of observers that
during the next five years Florida will
see the greatest development in its
history. What are Ocala and Marion
county going to do to obtain a share
OF this development 1t is proposed
that the $4,000 for the Marion Coun.
ty Board of Trade shall be starter
A portion of this amount shall be usec
tc cover adequately the overhead ex
renses of the Organization, and por
tiofi for publicity and several Other
development projects.
During the past year the Marior
County Board of Trade has found out
that some of the best posted men il
Florida did not know that citrus
fruits were produced to any extent il
this county. The secretary of TIT
Florida Horticultural Society mad'
Che statement before the Ocala Rotar.
Club that Marion county was not il
the citrus belt of the state, and hat
to be shown. The secretary of tn
Board of Trade has found that fev
persons in the county knew that tn
citrus crop is the biggest single mon
ey crop in the county. Recently
prominent advertising man from an
ether state visiting Marion count
was surprised to learn that citru
fruits mature earlier in this count
than in any county in the citrus bell
These are just instances of what re
suits from lack of publicity.
How much does the outside worl
; know of North Florida as compare
with South Florida? 1t is urged tha
these facts be kept in mind when tn
drive for the $4,000 gets under wa
Tuesday.
