BIG Fight Will BE
Held IN PHOENIX
EVENING OF July 4

Roughhouse Ware, too much for
Champion Jack Dempsey, will try to
beat the colored heavyweight cham
pion, Lee Anderson, in a champion
ship bout to be staged here under the
auspices of the Arizona Athletic club,
July T. Matchmaker Harrison Will
liams Wednesday signed Ware for the
big independence day card and tele-
graphed two tickets to New York.
Ware an his trainer left Wednesday
night for Phoenix and will reach here
Sunday night or Monday morning, it
is expected.
Ware, it will be remembered, is the
boy whom Manager Jack Kearns
elected from Dempsey's training camp
about ten days ago because ''he was
too rough" Ware had cut a deep
cash over Dempsey's left eye in a
head-on collision and had otherwise
"mussed up" the champion with his
roughouse tactics. So Kearns put
the ban on Ware, told him to pack up
his little grip and make his exit with
out undue delay.
The big eastern boy has the rep
utation of being one of the toughest,
toughest battlers that ever pulled on
q padded mitt His work against
Dempsey is proof of his ability to
take 'em" and deliver a few him
self He is the only man that has
ever trained in the Dempsey camp
who has given better than he received.
OF course Manager Kearns claims
that Ware used his head, elbows and
knees to finish first best with Demp-
sey. Be that as it may, local fans
can count on real engagement when
he gets into the ring with Champion
Lee Anderson a week from Monday
night.
Held Langford Even
Ware fights at about 1856, is a frac-
ton of an inch under six feet tall,
and is real hitter, judging from his
record. He is one OF the few men
that ever held Sam Langford to even
terms when the big dusky boy was at
his best. Ware is credited with two
draws with Langford and in the sec
Ond meeting floored the Boston tar
baby.
Anderson proved to Phoenix fans
that he is some rough battler him
self when occasion demands in his
meeting with Kid Norfolk few
weeks ago. Norfolk started butting
tactics on Anderson when he found
the going a little rough. Anderson
also proved adept at that style of
milling, in fact, he beat the New
Yorker at his own game. So Ware
had better he on the watch when he
starts to rough it with the title hold
er. Andy is as clean fighter as can
be found anywhere providing his op-
ponent shows any inclination to do
combat in full accord with the prize
ring rules, but let said opponent get
rough and Anderson Immediately be-
comes a demon.
The Ware-Anderson championship
go viii be the main event of fight
card that Matchmaker Williams hopes
to make the best ever held in Arizo-
ma. Solder Jack Lynch and Bill Al
ger have been matched for six-round
special event and judging from the
showing of these boys against com
mon foe, it will be match well worth
going miles to see. Jock Taylor, col
ored light heavyweight will also be
matched against some suitable oppo-
nent in an eight round semi-final
Matchmaker Williams said last night.
At least two other events will be in
ciuded on the fight card, the an.
nouncement said.

COURT
SUSTAINS THE LAW
Decision Rendered in Favor Of Irrigation
District On February 5th

The Nevada Irrigation District Act
has been held constitutional by de-
cision and opinion filed Saturday by
the supreme court of the State.
This is the act under which the
Walker River Irrigation district has
been formed, and the favorable deci-
sion, confirming as it does the decision
of Judge Hart of the district court,
removes the chief obstacle to the sale
OF the bonds issued by the directors OF
the district. The opinion is by Chief
Justice Sanders, and concurred in by
Justice Ducker, Justice Coleman dis
sentng to the prevailing opinion.
The suit was friendly one to
determine the constitutionalty of the
act creating irrigation districts The
suit followed creation OF Walker
River irrigation district and the issu-
ance of $91S,500 in bonds. The bonds
have been held up pending the result
of the decision of the court By its

DRAFT OF BUDGET
SUBMITTED BY GOVERNOR

The first of the budget covering ex-
penses of the state government for the
next two years has been submitted to
the legislature by Governor Bolye
Under the budget system the rate of
taxation for the next two years will
be decreased as it is expected that it
will be 62.05 for the year 1921 and
6405 for for 1922. A change in the
school tax will be invoked as a rs
rate will be borne by the state.
The rate last year was o7.05. show
ing that the budget this coming year
will lower taxation.
The budget covers a considerable
number OF pages and while it is not
complete, as other matters will have
to be taken into consideration the
rate as stated will be approximately
that which is to be met
Just how much is to be cut from
he highway program remains to be

can now go on the market.
The irrigation district is the largest
undertaking SO far attempted in Ne
vada, as it embraces lands from An
telope valley in California, to and
including new lands below Yerington
while high line ditch is to be con
structed OH the west side of Mason
and Smith valleys The work con-
templated and the acreage covered is
by far the largest ever undertaken
by cooperative work in Nevada.
The validating of the act and the
bonds will result in the settlement o.
several thousand acres of now barren
land i'll Mason and Smith valleys and
undoubtedly will bring in a population
from an agricultural standpoint un-
equalled anywhere in western Nevada
The directors will hold a meeting or
Monday of next week at which time
ia plan Of action for the disposal of
the bonds will be decided upon.

CARSON GETS IDEAS
FROM OUR SENATOR

Carson Appeal-Senator Matt Pen
rose, who has had his airplane here
during the week, and has been using
the local field, left for his YcringtoE
home this morning with his air pilot
In speaking of the landing field, he
stated that it certainly needed con-.
siderable work to make it safe for
aviators. He is Oh the opinion that
a comparatively small sum expended
upon the local field would make it as
good as any in western Nevada, and
better than some, that the air l,len.,ars,
compelled to land on. Take out the
humps and fill the hollows,' is his
advice on this score
Your field needs marking as no
aviator can guess where to land,
Get 100 pounds of ordinary lime and
paint big cross 1t will last several
months. Or better still. get some
gypsum and spread it out in the Iorm
of cross. Any time your people
want the specifications for this work
| will gladly help them. OF course,
4 hangar is the real thing, but until
something turns up bringing i'll more
machines that is not necessary.
There is something else that the
Carson people should wake UP to
and that is bid ior regular air mail
service. The Los Angeles mail is
Shipped to Sacramento and then down
the coast. There is no reason why it
should not come to Carson, then on
down through Southern Nevada and
on to Los Angeles. This plan has
been gone over with the postoffice
people and | believe that if the prop
er course is taken and real landing
provided that the mail planes headed
for the south may be brought this
way.
"The expansion of the ell mail ser
vice is part of the postofi.cc ~ogra al
and flying is here to stay. If C;rsJ Ii
and the rest of the state be Included
in the program bid will have to be
made for the service Reno and
several of the eastern Nevada cities
are receiving this service to the ex-
clusion OF other cities and there has
been no concerted effort to change the
program. Carson, like the other Ne
vada cities can get i'll the line OF

of the teacher and the pupils. using
strap. The boy was in violent
rage and very stubborn, refusing to
give up. However, the punishment,
| am told, was in no wise brutal and
not unduly severe. Prof. Stewart
used the strap as means of punish
ment by direction of the school board.
Shortly after the punishment the
boy was afflicted with paralysis of
both legs. He was taken to the Las
Vegas hospital for treatment and
after few days, was, upon the ad-
vice of DR.. +. r. Mildren, taken to
Los Angeles where the services of

had,

grammar school, did not place any
blame for theboy 'sconditionupon inf
blame for the boys condition upon
Prof. Stewart, and that she did not
charge hhat any bruttaliy of unue tn
charge that any brutality or undue
severity of punishment was used.
1t was generally understood in Las
Vegas that the condition of the boy
resulted from his rage and the serious
nervous condition into which his pun
ishmcnt before the other pupils threw
him. and was not the result of any
bodily harm received while being
punished.
"Nlrs Lee is most estimable wo-
man and has the entire sympathy OF
the community in this matter. Prof.
Stewart is almost overwhelmed with
sorrow at the condition of the lad.
"In Las Vegas, the opinion is gen
era that there is no blame to be at
tached to anybody connected with the
affair. although naturally there is a
difference of opinion as to the advisa-
bility OF using corporal punishment
at all in the schools.
IL am quite sure that Mrs, Lee her
self, prior to taking the boy to Los
Angeles, did not charge that the pun
ishment was brutal"

SCHOOL BOY BEATEN
IS CRITICALLY Ill

Professor Stewart, principal of the
Las Vegas schools, had occasion last
Monday to punish Frank Lee, "A
year old student. Immediately after
wards the boy was stricken with pa
ralysis and hurried to Los Angeles
for treatment. We take the following
concerning the matter from the
Reno Gazette of yesterday:
The serious condition of Frank Lee,
fourteen years old, who is reported
dying in a Los Angeles hospital from
paralysis and meningitis, did not result
from whipping which he received in
the Las Vegas grammar school, in
the opinion of C. p Squires, editor of
the Las Vegas Age, who arrived in
Reno this morning. A telegram has
been received by the Gazette from the
Las Vegas school board claiming that
reports sent from Los Angeles con-
cerning the case have been exagger-
ated
According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Las Angeles last night
the boy is seriously i'll in hospital
there from slow paralysis which has
developed from the waist down The
hospital surgeons operating upon the
lad Saturday and since then they re
port that meningitis has developed.
They report his recovery as very
doubtful and state that even if he does
recover he will probably never be
able to walk again
According to the Los Angeles dis
patch received by the Gazette today
Mrs. Dora Lee. mother of the boy
claims that his condition is the result
OF severe whipping which he re
ccived at school for trivial offense.
Il know Professor Stewart who adj
ministered the whipping, well, said
Mr.. Squires, of Las Vegas, to Ga
zette reporter this morning. "lle is a
kindly man. as many Reno people
know. as he was located i'll Reno for
MANY years as manager of the c. +.
Weber Company. He has always been
reluctant about administering corporal
punishment to pupils even in aggra-
waited cases.
"In the case of the Lee boy the lat
Ter was sent to the principals aftiCe by
his teacher, to be punished. MIR.
Stewart took the boy back to his room
and inquired of the teacher as to
whether it was necessary to punish
him
'The teacher stated that punishment
was necessary, whereupon Mr. Stew
