ITALY SUGGESTS ANOTHER
WORLD CONFERENCE THAT
WILL DISCUSS SUBMARINES
SAM M'VEY DIES;
FAMOUS FIGHTER
Was One of Most F0rmid-
able Heavyweights in
Sporting World

New York, Dec. 23.-Sam McNey,
negro heavyweight pugilist died to-
day in u local hospital Of pneumonia.
McNey was one of tn" most for
mdable of negro heavyWeights dur
ing his ring career, was born in Cal
ifornia in 1855. Standing close to 6
feet in height and weighing 200
pounds, he possessed terrific punch
ing power, more than the average
boxing skill and ability to take heavy
punishment without faltering,
His first appearance as a serious
heavyweight contender was in 1903,
when he fought two 20-round contests
with Jack johnson, later world cham
pion, losing both bouts on decisions
In the years that followed he met all
of the negro heavyweight contenders
and number of white heavyweight
novices.
His ring record is remarkable for
the number of bouts with Sam Lang
ford During the decade beginning in
1911, McNcy and Langford fought
more than dozen contests ranging
from short no decision bouts to q
round encounters. These were stagec
in all parts of the world from Aus
traIia to South America. Langforc
was the victor in a majority of tho
battles.
Recently McVey had appeared il
the role of trainer and sparring part
ner for negro and white heavyweight
| training for important contests. De
spite his SO years he retained his box
| ing skill and hitting power.

CITY NOT BOUND
BY OLD CONTRACT
Bailey Brothers May Harvest This
Winter Under Old Agreement, But
City VIII Take Over Ice.

That the ice contract held by
Bailey Brothers last season which,
according to its terms, does not eX-
pire until next March, wHl not bind
the CITY until that time, is the
opinion given Mayor O, F. curtis by
Judge John II. kirkham, corporation
counsel, today.
The intent of the contract, the cor
poration counsel explains, is to allow
the Baileys to harvest ice last season
only. 1t was submitted to the
council in December, ratified in Janu-
ary and signed in March. Since it is
a one year contract, it is argued that
it is binding until next March, and no
new contract can be made until that
time.
There is a clause in the contract,
however, which requires the lessee to
harvest the ice and place it in the
municipal ice house Whcrcupon the
title passes to the city should the
Bailev BROTHERS decide to hold the
CITY to the old contract, it is pointed
out that no ice could be removed
from the houses after March ana
little, if any benefit would be OBJ
tanned by the present lessee through
his harvesting.
Nothing will be done for at least a
week relative to a special session OF
the council to act upon John III
Nonno's complaint that the Bailey
contract was not legally acted upon
Wednesday. DiNonno was the un-
successful bidder, He called to the
attention of the mayor that parI1a-

French Reply Delayed

Washington, Dec. 23.-C}y the As
sociated Prcss) Failure of the French
delegation to receive expected addl-
tional instructions as to auxiliary nav
al craft from its home government
promised to lead to further discussion
today Of the submarine question by
the Washington conference in the
single meeting likely to break pre-
Christmas lull.
Under a tentative understanding the
submarine discussions automatically
are resumed in event of announcement
by the French that they had nothing
to present.
While the various delegations pre-
pared for the afternoon suggestion
came from the Italian representation
that another conference be arranged
soon after the Adjournment of the
present gathering to take up further
t1c question of auxiliary naval craft.
The Italian suggestion Will be
brought up for consideration before
adjournment, it was said.
