place large deposits with banks pro-

the privilege of getting his deposits.
While some have accepted, others re-

BAN ON MIXED BOUTS IN
NEW YORK STATE
SEEMS ABOUT LIFTED
preston News Service)

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 6-The fact
that Danny Edwards, the colored BAN
tamweight from the Pacific coast, has
been matched to fight Irish Johnny
Curtin at the Pioneer Athletic Club
soon has created an interesting stir in
boxing circles here. Many students
of the game believe that this bout will
mark the lifting of the unofficial ban
against mixed bouts in New York
state, and to this fact they are inclined
to attach far-reaching significance.
For while there has been no iopposi-
ton to mixed matches in New York,
expressed in so many words, the ac-
tions Of the entire boxing commission,
have led close followers of the sport
to believe that no mixed bout would
be sanctioned. Indeed, it appeared
that all promoters feared the far
reaching power of this body to such
an extent that no effort was really
made to promote bouts of mixed ma
ture.
And thus, colored fighters, despite
the many assertions of the commits
sion that they would sanction the
bouts if all the rules were strictly ad-
hered to, found it impossible to get
work, and discovered that they were
as effectually barred here as in states
where there is legal ban against
mixed bouts.
Action Significant
But the latest action of the big men
in the boxing game, together with the
unprecedented demand for a Willis,
Dempsey meeting, and the willingness
of certain group of promoters to
comply with the almost impossible
demands of the commission, is regard
ed as the entering wedge to cham
pionship match, with colored man
and white man as the principals. 1t
is thought that the New York public,
which has not been used to mixed
bouts, is being gradually educated to
mixed matches, so that when the
greatest of all matches of this type
the Wills-Dempsey affairs announc.
ed, it will meet with a minimized
amount of opposition.
This angle of the situation can be
taken for what it is worth, but the
fact remains that the invisible ban
against mixed fights in this state, and
more particularly in Greater New
York, has been lifted, and colored
fighters, who have clean records will
hereafter have no difficulty in finding
engagements in metropolitan rings.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct Cham

for an injunction, seeking to prohibit
the local Negro lodge of the Ancient
Egyptian Order of Mobiles of the Mys-

Order Mobiles of tho Mystic Shrine
and emblems and badges similar
to those used by the white order.
The case, which was filed several
months ago, is styled Frank Nei-
meyer ct al. VS.. w. H. Smith ct al"
In his opinion the chancellor stated
that the white order had been estab-
lished in 1872 and the Negro order in
1893 that the Negro order had incor-
porated in 1901 and that United
States supreme court decision stated
that after an order had been estab-
lished a reasonable length of time it
was unequitable to take such action

ABILENE, Tex, Oct. GA search
ing investigation of the killing here
shortly before midnight, September o,
of Cover c. Everett, in local hotel,
was ordered by Judge w. R. Ely. in a
special charge to the Taylor county
grand jury last Thursday.
After declaring that all he knew of
the murder was from newspaper re-
ports, Judge Ell said: "a Negro was
killed in Negro rooming house in
this city. A street contractor told me
that he had known Everett for eleven
years, and that he was a hard-work-
ing Negro and harmless. From what
| gather from the newspaper reports,
the man had retired early, and about
midnight he was killed u notice in
the papers that Negro witnesses testi-
fled that three or four masked men
came to the hotel, went upstairs, a
shot was fired the masked men came
down, and Everett was found dead
81 will be frank and honest with
you; the man who shot Everett is
guilty of murder and should be pun
ished. 1t is bad blot on your town
when men go out and wantonly kill
in that way.
"There has not occurred crime
since l have been on the bench SO
grave and one that deserves such earn
est attention as this. I am blaming
no man or no organization for this
crime, because / don't know who did
the killing"
District Attorney Cunningham, who
has conducted an investigation of the
affair, issued an appeal to all citizens
who know anything of the murder or
who might throw any light on it, to
give the grand jury the facts.

of the stiffest contests from start to
finish Billy Carter, of Connellsville,
Pa, got the decision over Eddie Car
yer, the clever fighter of Pittsburgh.
SDuring the first four rounds it seemed
as though Carver had the best of the
affray. At the beginning of the fifth
session Carter sailed into Eddie with
all might and main, fighting like mad
and managed to land few stingers.
During the sixth, seventh and part of
the eighth Carver managed to put one
of the cleverest defensive fights seen
here in many moons. Many of the
fans, however, thought that Carver
should have been given the decision
as his method of fighting showed more
scientific boxing than Carter's but the
~referee handed the decision to Carter
While it was only the preliminary bout
pof the affair staged between Keiser
and Larsen. it showed up more sensa-
ti>nal stuff than the main bout.
