Commission Ali-PowerruI


Newman proposed that the city
name a board of three or five men
to pass upon matches before they
were definitely closed, that this
board appoint a physician to eX-
anime all boxers before they enter
the ring that the commission handle
the box office receipts and COM
pllmentaries In return for the
city's cooperation in conducting
boxing Newman proposed TO turn
over per cent of the gross receipts
20 the police relief fund. or any
branch of the city government the
city officials directed.
While there is no state provision
for a boxing commission, such com
missions regulate tho game in Okla
homa City and Muskogee. The
oklahoma City commission was
named by Mayor Jack Walton, who
on January l becomes governor.
Would Eliminate t'ixzIes
An official city boxing board,
Newman pointed out, would do away
with the danger OF fizzles such as
resulted when Willie LouRhlin went
in against Cowboy Padgett recently
in no condition to fight. Had Lough-
lin been examined by a physician
lust before the bout started he
never would have been permitted TO
go in.
Newman told the city officials
that unless they saw fit to lend their
aid In supervising the game he was
through as a promoter. The N~'"i is
Fulton affair Monday night made up
his mind. Convention nal .oa
jammed with spectators that niGht,
but so many gained admission on
passes, by pull" through improper
~ guarded side entrances, by win
dOws and in other ways that the
house" was disappointingly small
from d box office standpoint.
Would Net City Neat sum
Newman pointed out to the COM
missioner and police head that
comfortable sum would be realized
for police benefit fund through the
per cent gross contribution. He
estimated it would amount to 5000
to $500 a month, with the game
properly handled.
Newman agreed TO give the city
absolutely free reinc in selecting the
supervisory board. He said he had
no suggestions to make as to its per-
sonnel.
The Morris Fulton affair was
pointed out by Newman as a good
illustration of why such a govern
ing body Is needed. At the last
minute Monday night. the promoter
declared Morris threatened not to
go through with the match. II a
commission had been in charge he
would have been ordered to go
ahead as he had agreed.
Says Fans Want Boxing
Physically, Morris and Fulton
were in condition for their bout.
DR. L. c. Presson, former city ply
sician, examined them 10 minutes
before they entered the ring. Their
heart action and temperature were
normal, he said.
Newman declared there was no
question but that the public wanted
boxing. The crowd OF 5000 that
filled convention hall for the Nor
ris-Fulton affair showed that, he
said.
Commissioner Kiskaddon prom
ised TO take the proposition up with
other members OF the city govern
ment and 10 give an answer at the
Friday morning meeting of the city
com misisoners.

'W. A. Taplin, Prop,

The above signature has become
so familiar to the readers of this
paper in the years past, in con-
necton with the timely advertis-
ing of Steele, Taplin and Company
that it has come to be regarded
as sort of trademark and a guar
antee of the reliability of the stan
dard goods that have always been
carried by one of the best-known
clothing houses in Northern Yer
mont.
The late F. D. Steele purchased
this store something like thirty
four years ago of the Atwood es-
tate. w. Arthur Taplin was
clerk in the store at that time.
Later, Mr.. Taplin became a part
ner in the business and the present
firm name was adopted. Some
time before the death of Mr..
Steele, Mr.. Taplin purchased MS
interest in the business and be-
came the present sole proprietor.
This record makes him one of st.

PRESS COMMENT
Investing in Smoke

Vermont during the fve-year
period of 1916-1920 burned mp
$4,397,58 worth of property, an
average of $879,516 investigated
annually in smoke. We are in
clined to qualify statements re-
garding our output in various lines
by referrir~ to the fact that we
are one of the smallest states but
when we couple this information
with the figures Of our fire losses
we may pause and ask ourselves
whether we are not heavier losers
per capita than we ought to be.
In the five-year period defec-
tive chimneys and fues caused
fires in this state aggregating
S493, 006 or an AVERAGE of S98,601.
Matches and careless smokers were
responsible for the destruction of
S2S5,849 worth OF property, fn
average of more than $1,000 Il
week. Stoves, furnaces and boilers
were the cause of the burning OF
e237,871 worth Of property. These
are figures taken offhand from a
compilation made by the national
hoard of underwriters of data con-
corning fires from "strctly pr
Ventable causes"
Durir the five wears mentioned
there were fire losses in the state
aggregating S1,176,832 ascribed to
unknown causes, probably largely
preventable."
The de struction by fire of build
ines in rural sections and small
villages SPELLS fewer days for the
life of such communities. When
two or three houses burn in Yer
mont hamlet we venture to say
that only one is rebuilt in substar-
tial manner Shacks may be erect

prime and his Unborn enterprise
and energy is well illustrated by
the marked Improvements he has
just: completed in the store. The
store has just been thoroughly re-
paired and with new paint and new
lights and the usual clean new
stock of goods, the establishment
looks as slick and clean as a new
copper cent.
The new lights that have been
installed are of the indirect service
variety which set out the store
most effectively and attractively,
and the new system of display
lights for the windows are a mark
ed improvement in every way and
the whole combination makes the
store easily one of the best lighted
clothing headquarters in all this
vicinity. This is entirely in keeping
with the progressive policy of the
establishment, as this store was
the first one in st. Johnsbury to
install electric lights.
Mr.. Taplin is ably assisted by
his son, Carl, who has now been
in the store for about eight years,
a natural salesman, like his father,
and by Albert Lachance, who has
been clerk in this store so long

he would naturally be regarded as

Mass. Police Help
Arrest Robbery Trio
Continued from Page IL

Attorney Campbell filed informa-
ton in county court and with
Sheriff Worthen went to Winches-
ter armed with warrant. On
February A, through the hearty
cooperation of Chief of police,
William Mcintosh, and Sergeant
John McCauley of Winchester,
Randall was placed under arrest.
Waving formal eXtradition,
Randall was brought to st. Johns
bury a week ago Sunday. and was
lodged in county jail to await fur
Their investigation. 1t was thought
that others were implicated in the
series of robbe,ies in addition to
him.
In the ensuing minute investi-
cation, more information was
filed by States Attorney Camp
bell against Edward Cannon of
Wobuln, Mass, and Edward Mar
tin, formerly of Jamaica Plain but
now of New York City. lnforma-
ton was also filed against Mack
Price Of Chelsea, Mass.
Last Wednesday night, Mr.
Campbell and Sheriff Worthen
went to Boston and, with the gen
erous cooperation of Chief of
Police, Charles McCauley of Wo-
burn, caused to be arrested Ed
ward Cannon. James r. Wood
was sent to New York City where
he apprehended Edward Martin,
whom he took to Boston.
During the day Friday the Chel
sea police were on the Qui-vive
for Mack Price. He was taken
into custody late that night. In
the meantime, Mr.. Campbell,
Sheriff Worthen and Cannon and
Martin left for St. Johnsbury.
Word was received here that Price
would not fight extradition but
would consent to come at once
to st. Johnsbury Sheriff Wor-
then returned to Boston Saturday
night to get him.
From the unmiStakable evidence
in the hands of the authorities it
is believed that the most OF the
robbery cases will be disposed of
in short order. The present mayor
of Woburn, B. J. Golden, will
represent Martin and Cannon
when their cases come up for con-
sideration in Caledonia county
court.

CHATS WITH
YOUR
GAS MAN

The other day a friend said
to IA: VIII should YOU adj
vertise? You get all the gas
business there is"
We are glad he asked this
question. Perhaps yon, too,
would like to know why. Here
is our answer:
1t is not sufficient that we
merely give good service, be
courteous and make friends.
We want to dispel prejudice
and misunderstanding from the
minds of the public by continu-
ally stating the facts about our
business.
We believe it our duty to let
the public know the real nature
of our business and the aims
and ideals of the men engaged
in that business. There is no
mystery about it, nothing that
we would wish to cover up.
Then why not advertise it?
Like the man on the witness
stand we can say: Its the
easiest thing in the world to
tell the truth when there is
nothing but the truth to tell"

the Robert Dollar company here,
from lchang, province Of Hupen.
Nolleys were poured iuto the
Alice Dollar from the banks, pre-
sumably by troops of moth north

Captain Crum sent all pascsen-
