SEEK RIGHT TO FISH

Council Members Would Have Ban
Raised at Shuttle Meadow Lake This
Summer.
An effort is shortly to be made to
have the restrictions placed by the
board of water commissioners on fish
ing at Shuttle Meadow raised so that
businessmen and those working on
short time schedules may have the
benefit of few hours recreation daily.
The local board, acting upon the sug-
gestion of the state health department,
has refused petitions to fish this year.
Council members who favor raising the
restriction point out that there has not
been a single complaint about the
cleanliness of the water supply for the
past Is years in spite of the fact that
fishing was allowed.

THE OLD HOME IS GONE
Even in Smaller Cities, One Family
Houses Give Way to Modern Apart
ment Buildings.

Washington, July 2o.-The old
fashioned American home-the single
dwelling with a front and back yard
lis giving way even in the smaller
cities of the United States to the
modern apartment house.
This is revealed in a report Of 1920
building operations issued today by
the U. S. Chamber OF Commerce. The
report compiled in conjunction with
the federal bureau of labor statistics,
shows that last year 20 per cent OF
the families provided with new homes
got one family homes; IL per cent
two family dwellings and 19 per cent
Ia multi-family dwelling. The same
6gures show that the proportion OF
multi-family dwellings provided last
year was the largest in the small
cities,

Purpose Will Be To Re-
port Details To Irish
Republican Parliament
And Formulate Definite
Policy For Future
Probability of Meeting Be
tween Sir James Craig and
Sim Fein Leader Forecast
in Some Quarters.

London, July 20-Tomorrow's meet
ing between Eamonn De Valera and
Premier Lloyd George will probably
be their last before the return to south
Ireland delegates to Dublin. Following
their return to Ireland a meeting Of
the Irish republican parliament will
probably be convened to give the re-
publican leader an opportunity to re-
port and take fresh counsel on the
new compilations which the Downing
street parleys may have placed upon
the old questions and to formulate a
policy respecting such issues as may
have originated during these talks.
Future Course Uncertain
1t is problematical whether De
Valera will go to Belfast for a. meet
ing with Sir James Craig, the Ulster
ing in some quarters as a probability;
whether he will resume what he had
termed his '1ong range bombardment"
with Lloyd George, with the one in
Dublin and the other in London or
whether the southern Irish leaders will
signify their belief that the continua-
ton of the parley would be unlikely
to produce the desired results
The last contingency however is still
considered at Irish headquarters as
the least probable of the three alter
natives.
London, July 20.-The probability
of a meeting in Belfast between
Eamonn De Valera and Sir jam
Craig, the Ulster premier in fore
shadowed in some political quarters
and several newspapers this morning.
Gen. J. C. Smuts, premier of South
knowledge respecting the negotiations
yesterday, doubtless is largely respon-
sible for this, and similar optimistic
speculation which has survived under
great difficulties since Monday when
the Ulster premier departed suddenly
for Belfast after making a forceful
statement on this subject of self
termination as it applied to Ulster.
Smuts' Influence
This seemed for a time to end all
hope for an amiable meeting between
the two Irish leaders, but the moder-
|ating influence of Gen. Smuts, coupled
with Belfast dispatches to the effect
that Sir James does not regard the
peace parleys as Interrupted, having
gone a long way toward re-establish-
ing confidence. Mr.. De Valera now is
reported willing to go to Belfast and

Thirty-three Finds Him Easy
Prey for Bob Roper.
BY Ed w. SMITH.

Only a short space of time
leaves him in surprisingly changed
state of mental and physical .ondi-
ton. Witness that grand old war
horse. Frank Moran, formerly of
Pittsburgh, who was knocked out
the other night by Bob Roper in a
hard battle in Buffalo. The fight
went only six rounds and Moran
was completely out at the finish.
He had trained faithfully for two
weeks for the match because he
realized that this was about his
final chance to get into the "big
money"
1t was only a comparatively short
time back that the red-headed Pitts
burgher was regarded and heavily ex-
plotted around New York as being the
real contender for the heavyweight
title. II was I'm June, 1914, that Moran
went twenty sensational rounds in
Paris with Jack johnson, then cham.
pion, and didn't seem to have a lot
the worst of II. although he lost the
referees decision.
Then he returned to New York and
in March. 1916, fought Jess Willard,
then champion, ten sensational rounds
In New York, city, many claiming that
Frank didn't have a great deal the
worst of 1t. In the meantime. in 1915
and 1916, he knocked out the much
touted Irish champion, Jim Coffey, the
first time in three rounds and the sec
ond time in nine.
He called his big right-hand smash
his Mary Ann" and he got whale
of lot of press work on It. Incl
dentally he collected huge sums at the
box office for his services, for the pub
lie loves the man who can lay the foe
low with single wallop. It was moth
ing for Moran to get $4,000 for his
end of the receipts. He got II time and
again. He prospered.
The. other night in Buffalo, trying to
overcome the physical waste of other
and better years, he stood up with the
much lighter but considerably faster
Rob Roper and was knocked cold In
the sixth round after making a manly
effort to justify his comeback.
And he received but $3.50 for his bit
of the money!
To show that Moran was in good
condition IL may be mentioned that
he had hammered himself down to 1872
pounds and looked fit. Roper weighed
ls9. He's getting bigger and more
