JOHNNY BUFF.
Johnny Buff, holder of the fly
weight and bantam titles, is one of
the few boxing champions willing
to take chance.
Buff won the bantam title on
Sept. % at the Madison Square
garden from Pete Herman. The
bout went the limit, Is rounds, Buff
being awarded the decision.
With two championships to his
credit, Buff would have been emit
tied to rest on his laurels, and
gather in lot OF soft money. Most
champions would have handled the
situation in that manner.
Buff, however, soon proved him
self somewhat different title hold
er. Instead of meeting a lot OF
third raters in no decision bouts,
Buff defended his title within six
weeks after he won it
Jack Sharkey was picked as a
logical contender, one of the ban
tams believed to have real
chance Those who contended that
Buff was a fiuke champion were
compelled to retract their cruel
words Sharkey was decisiveIy
outpointed.
Within a month from the Shar-
key bout, Buff is taking on another
real contender, Pal Moore, a more
formidable opponent than Sharkey.
He is scheduled to meet Moore at
Milwaukee tomorrow night in a 10
round bout.
1t is refreshing to see a cham
pion of the Buff type. There re-
ally should be some rule in boxing,
whereby a champion would be com
PEELED to defend his title at least
once every six months. Perhaps
every three months might be
short enough time to allow between
championship bouts.

Give the worh information
Of Importance.

French scientists are proposing
to build a submarine boat for the
purpose Of exploring the sea at
depths up to 50 tathoms, or 800
feet.
The craft planned is of small
size, only 60 feet long, and is to be
built especially to resist pressure.
With this idea in view its hull will
be circular in section, and to enable
it to rest comfortably upon the sea
floor it will have two keels.
Obviously it could SO rest only in
comparatively shallow waters, such
as those of the North sea, which is
a vast pond not exceeding 80
fathoms in depth over the greater
part Of its area.
The proposed study IS expected
to furnish information that will be

Princess Mary, who, We are told,

whose taste in pets has inclined in
this direction. Wordsworth, ac-
cording to G. W. +. Russell, was re-

pets, included among which was a

(Russel) himself confesses that in
his youth he had "traficked in
squirrels and guinea pigs" and had
"invested my all in an angora rab-
bit" Our own royal family's taste
in pets seems to have been more or
less homely. as, for instance, the ex-
ample Of Queen Victoria and Noble,
her collie dog But Louis Napoleon,
when he lived in Carlton Gardens,
set great store on a tame eagle com

Court Sustains Press.

Judge Harry Fisher Saturday in Chicago
put an end to the $4,000, 600 suit for alleged
libel brought against the Tribune in the name
of the city II Chicago. Identical actions had
been instituted against the Tribune and the
Chicago Daily News on the ground that the
papers had printed false statements regarding
Chicago's financial standing and thereby
had injured the municipalities credit.
The court took the position that while the
complainant had failed to show where specific
injury bad been done, of first Importance was
the fact that the action, if permitted to pro-
coed, would be out of harmony with the genius,
spirit and objects of American institutions.
The suit failed to specify where any Individual
private interest had been lbeled or injured,
and the court did not agree with the con-
tentio1 that few individuals could set theni>'
selves up as the custodians of great munich
pality and as such assume that that public
agency had been injured through publication
of known facts concerning its financial stand
ing. In other words, the court left the infer
eRce that the newspapers instead of hurting
the municipality had helped its position through
correctly Informing the people who sustain
it and live under its laws.
The typical American newspaper of the
present day is constructive and not de-
structive- 1t has ideals and it adheres to them.
The suits against the Chicago newspapers
were the outgroWth of fight the papers have
been carrying against the Thompson admins
tration. The papers hold that the Thompson
crowd has been wasting the peoples money.
II the newspapers have been printing facts, and
there is no reasonable grounds to believe the
contrary, instead of injuring the credit of Chi
cago they have been seeking to preserve it

Blocking Streets at Night.

Frequent complaints have come to The
Argus concerning a habit numbers of automo-
bile owners have fallen into of parking their
cars at night in the street in front OF their
homes, some OF them without even observing
the precaution of leaving the tail light burning.
resident of the southern part of the city
was driving along Fourteenth street the other
night and reports having barely missed col
4lision with unlighted car standing before
the home of citizen.
There are city regulations that prescribe
the streets in the business section where cars
may be parked, and there are time limits where
machines are left standing before business
houses in the commercial sections, but there
are no regulations covering the residential
portions OF the city. Therefore the car owner
assumes he has the right to leave his machine
standing in the street outside his home through
the night. feeling that the risk OF theft is his
own But the practice has become so general
that others are being menaced, and the au-
thorities ought to take some action before
there are serious mishapS
While there may be an occasional excuse for
an owner to leave his standing at the curb
before his home over night, the practice should
not be permitted to become general, and where
a machine is left standing through the night
the light rules should be observed. and where
this is not done the owner ought to be made
to suffer the consequences.
If members of the police department will
be INSTRUCTED TO keep their eyes open at night
In the residential sections, it will not be long
until the habit of the promiscuous parking of
cars outside of homes throughout the night will
at least be lessened
