'S General" Kilroy Routs Free State Forces and Is Made President.

Claremorris, Ireland, Nov. 14- Westport in West Mayo at the head Of Clew Bay, a little fishing village with half a dozen shops and one street, is the capital of "Generar' Kill roy's Western Republic.
 In this area the Free State Army, which never exceeded forty men, made an unsuccessful attempt to clear out the irregulars.
 The little garrison was beleagured by 400 armed rebels and escaped in boats at night about a month ago.
 Since then the General has been proclaimed President of the Repub- lie.
 His army, which amounts to 600 men, well armed, equipped and sup- piled, has many advantages The roads leading to the Republic which an invading army must follow, wind round the bases of precipitous cliffs from 1000 to 2.000 feet high. Sentries are posted and outpo osts have been es- tahlished on the Sunmits.
 The subjugation of the 'fRepu blic'' is work of difficulty and will require both time and patience to accom- plish
 Already it is stated that General Me Keon is concentrating his attention on this area and forwarding troops to the border.
 Recently +GeneraT Kilroy, at the head Of a column of 800 warriors, marched into Westport and purchased a large quantity of food supplies and clothing materials for which he paid Iaady cash.

 William T. Hincks, who has been appointed spokesman for the Charter Revision Committee in so far as the public hearing for Thursday night is concerned, entertained a group of newspaper reporters this morning and answered their questions fully and frankly regarding the first actions of
 Mir. Hincks said that the committee had had one meeting at which all members were present except MT Ralph T. Beers, who was detained. The meeting was occupied with out lining the work and plans of the com- mittee. It was Mayor Atwater' s idea, in which all the rest of the commit tee concurred. that the revised charter thoughts of the people and be as far removed as possible from any ready made star chamber document which might be produced by the committee 4crlng entirely on it's own ideas.

 The committee has no definite plan in mind as to whether the present form of aldermen and common coun- cil shall be retained or whether the straight Commission Governme ent | shall be employed, or whether a City Manager with a Council, or City Man ager with a Board of Directors, or perhaps some entirely different type would best suit the needs of the com munity.

At this hearing the com mittee will endeavor to have present out-of-town speakers advocating the Commission Governm Council Manager. City Manager with Direc- tors. MT. Hunter, the Town Manager of Stratfordd. will speak on the Coun- cil- Manager plan.

mediately behind the University of Cal
ifornia ccmpus, and lying within the
confines of the university property, is
one Of the most beautiful CANYONS in all
| California.
1t directly faces the Golden Gate.
San Francisco bay, and Mt Tamalpais,
and the bay cities, all lie within i'm

| hind it, to the east, rises Grizzly Peak,
1900 feet high, the highest point in the
coast range mountains for many miles.
This canyon is filled with bird life
and, in springtime, is carpeted with ma.
tive flowers. a considerable part of
| it has been intensivcly cultivated by
the nniversity's scientific departments
as botanical garden. The floor of the
| canyon is filled with oak trees. A

This is Strawberry canyon. Recently,
| impelled with eagerness to have great
football stadium ready for the next big
game, in November Of this year, the
regents of the university agreed to
hand over the canyon for an athletic
field of colossal dimensions.
The decision Of the regents was taken
hastily, in the opinion of hundreds of
stadium subscribers and alumni. 1t
was taken hastily in order that the
athletic structure might be made ready
by November. But so much opposition
blazed up, as soon as the plans We're
announced, that the regents have aince
been deluged with letters of protest. =
The first critiA were the lovers of
nature, who knew what Strawberry
canyon had always been to the univer-
sity. But hard headed critics Of the
transportational difficulties, Of the
lack Of parking space for automobiles,
of the vertical distance from carlines-
these, as well as architects, engineers
and experts in the handling of great
crowds, have recently rushed forward
with their protests.
In the height Of all this, Professor
Charles II. Richer, for nineteen years
connected with the department of
philosophy and one. OF the best-known
and best-loved savants in the univer-

FANS IN PORTLAND
CAN'T SEE WILLS.
DEMPSEY MATCH

PORTLAND, Ore, March 13.-Fans
here are unable to figure who is getting
fooled as a result of the Wills Norfolk
fight in New York March 2. After
seeing Wills and Bill Tate tanglc at
the Milwaukee arena here, with Wills
making n mighty poor showing against
the Chicago heavy, local ring followers
merely grin when n Wills-Dempsey go
is mentioned.
The first fight Wills and Tate had
here, Wills f0uled the Chicago man in
the first round, the referee giving the
scrap to Tate just as the bell rang end
ing the round 1t had been understo ood
that the men should break clean from
clinches. Wills didn'i do it. The fol
lowing Friday night the two staged q
return engagement and fought n bloody
ten round draw. The second fight was
merely to give fans their money
worth and attempt to show ring sports
men that the two could really fight
when they felt like it. Some thinl,
that Tate beat Wills.
There are those who question Wills
right to the negro heavyweight title
They claim Tate is as good as Wills
and everybody knows what Dempsey
did to Tate when the champion wa,
ira inng for Carpenter. Tate left III,
camp while he had his health.
Now Wills beats Kid Norfolk in tn,
second round of scheduled fifteeI
round go, and many eyewitnesses Of tn,
fight claim Norfolk Just curled up OF
the canvas without even being hard hit
He was up at the count Of ten, frcsl
as n new briquct.
Fans here echo the shout of fans il
the east that the Wills Norfolk affai
never should have been staged, not be
cause Wills seemed too good for Nor
folk, but because the thing did no
look right. And they believe furthe
that n Dempsey scrap wouldn
look any better.

GIBBONS, CHAMPION

BY HENRY i. FARRELL

NEW YORK, March l3.-Tommy
Gibbons has n good many reasons for
wanting TO beat Harry Greb tonight in
Madison Square Garden.
His main purpose is 10 rid himself
Of his title aa he champion bowler of
setups.
Greb has been among the lOudest who
pointed at Gibbons record of 81 knock
outs in his last % fights and yelled
"who conldn I! They were all bnms! -
New York believes Greb is the first
big victim and the money is going
down on Gibbons at 2 to ]. Several
inches in height, six or seven pounds
in weight and q hcftier punch to his
advantage are factors boosting the
odds on Gibbons.
Eddie Kane, Gibbons manager, feels
absolutely confident and he has to do
all the talking, as his charge does most
Of his speech making about champion
dog he is training.
George Engel, who handles Greb
naturally has his own story. Tie says
Gibbons is made for his boy and that
Harry viii not have as much trouble
as he did against Charley Weincrt,
when he had no trouble.
Gibbons ought to beat Grcb. The
st. Paul might not be the hardest hit
ter in the ring, but he has developed
into one of the most accurate body
prnchers in the business. He is fast
and shifty ON the defense and seems
to be better trained than Greb.
