OPINION ON BOXING.
City Solicitor SAttherthwaite Complies
With Councll's Request.

| City Solicitor Reuben Satterthwaite.
Jr., having been asked by City Council
| for an opinion as TO the Council s
| legal right to pass an, ordinance per-
mitting boxing exhibitions in Will
mington, has compiled his opinion and
will probably forward 1t to Council at
| the meeting of that body next Thurs
day night. He refused today to make
any statement at this time as to what
his answer to Council is to be.
Mr.. Sattherthwaite did call atten-
ton TO one fact. however. and that is
that there is no law in this city or
state prohibiting the holding OF box
ling exhibitions and said he sw no
necessity for any ordinance relating to
the matter There is State law
against the holding of prize fights and
consequently Council could not pass
any ordinance that would be in con-
fiict with any State law.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Satterthwaite,
in an opinion given the Department of
Public Safety, held that the State law
holds a prize fight is contest be-
tween two men who are paid for their
work and whose evident intent 1t is to
DO the other bodily harm. A boxing
exhibition is one of skill. where the
participants. receive no remuneration.
Mr.. Sattherthwaite's opinion to
Council will be in response 10 a re-
quest from that body at the suggestion
of Councilman McNahh, who last
Thursday night said there has been
SO much discussion of the subject that
he thought ii advisable TO have il
settled one way or the other. He
thought Council should know whether
they can pass an ordinance iegalizing
boxing exhibitions in this city. Those
who speculated on Mr.. Satterthwaite's
reply seemed to be OF the spinion that
IL would be much the same as his
opinion given the Safety Directors
recently.

Picture Works OF Literature

It is believed by many people
that the greatest future useful
ness of the motion pictures will
be in the reproduction of esta-
blished works of literature. The
double pleasure given to a reader,
after perusing a book and form
ing a mental picture of its char
acters, of seeing them metamor-
phosed into moving figures, must
always be greater than looking
upon the ordinary film offering.
Harold Bell Wright, whose nov
ell, "The Winning of Barbara
WORTH" made internationally
famous the wonders of the I'm
perial Valley in California, and
whose ..'The Shepherd of the
Hills" celebrated the charms of
the Ozark Valley in Missouri,
promises to become supreme
among authors in this new influ-
ence.
His first book to be picturized
is "The Eyes of the World, +"
which will be shown for the first
time at the Laclede theater on
Saturday night, April 80.

given and at a very late hour,
while "A Perfect Day" was sung
all departed for their respective

Local Troop Of Boy Scouts

Laclede now has a troop oil
Boy Scouts duly enrolled in the
national organization. Rev. E.
M. Hoff is troop master and
Harold G. Standby is assistent
master.
The troop has a membership
of fifteen, the enrolment being
James Hamilton, Byron Power,
Alpha Chapman, Lyle Savage,
Harold Clinefelter, Richard Lo-
max, Paul Harbough, Louis
Glover, Floyd Anderson, Carl
Libby, Frank Disney, Willie
Pease, Roy Ogle, VIM. Byrd and
Russell Mari. To be eligible for
membership boys must be be-
tween the ages of IL and 18. At
present the headquarters are in
the northwest room of the school
basement.
Increased interest in the Boy
Scout movement comes with
more seasonable weather for out
door activities. Throughout the
world there is an enrolment of
several millions in the organiza-
ton, of which the United States
has more than any other
country. The motives of the
Scout movement becoming more
and more widely understood, the
organization is destined eventu-
ally to have an enlistment of
two or three millions under the
stars and stripes.

Republican Leader Buys Newspaper

Hon! Walter S. Dickey, prom

highest bidder when the Kansas
City Journal was put up at re-
ceiver's sale last Monday. Mr..
Dickey's bid was Sill, 900 and is

Mr.. Dickey is known through
out the United States as a sue
cessful business man, being own

1t is safe to say the Journal

cause of republicanism which it
has done since it was founded in
