KILBANE OFF
FOR EUROPE;
WON'T FIGHT

New York, Feb. ga rush OF
gold d-seekers had nothing on the
flock of fighting promoters who
beseiged Jonny Kilbane at his
hotel when the welterWeight
champion Of the world arrived
here preparatory to sailing for
Ireland. &
why, gentlemen" said the
champ, 81 am not here to talk
fight. / came to New York to
seek passage for myself and a
party of friends for Europe"
II someone had clouted each
promoter on the head with a
hammer it would have had no
more effect than the champion 3
assertion. They gasped at him,
each waiting for the other to be-
gin the questioning. They saw
visions OF bankroll which would
eliminate with championship
bout flying past them and some
foreign sportsman pulling 1t down
Not only this, but supposing John
ny should lose his title on the
other side.
Will Visit Ireland.
Kilbane relieved the situation
somewhat when he explained that
he was going abroad mercy to
visit and would not leave these
United States right away.
II have always wanted to visit
Ireland" said Kilbane. THAT is
my real objective abroad, al
though l shall spend some time
In London and Paris.
Il have been champion a long
time now, but l think l showed in
my recent defeat Of Danny Frush
that l can still go bit. How
ever, don't think that anyone
will find serious fault with me for
not pausing to fight here on my
way to Europe.
"Will Enjoy Himself"
Il want to go over as champion
and nothing will deter me from
doing this. l have not all the
money In the world, but | have
enough for the immediate needs
of myself and family and propose
to enjoy myself for a while.
Il shall give exhibitions of box
ing in England and France, but
shall not engage in champion
ship match. That is, unless some
unusual offer should be made me
that | could not afford to refuse. "
This last sensunce caused the
boys to again prick up their ears,
and when the interview with
Johnny was at an end they were
not satisfied that the champion
was going to Europe merely for a
pleasure trip.
Kilbane looks in excellent con-
dition. He weighs about 1870
pounds and could get down to the
featherweight limit easily If he
cared to train bit. He will be
the second worlds champion box
er to invade Europe from this
country this winter Johnny Buff,
the bantamwelght king, Is now on
his way to England.

THE LEAGUE REFUSES

The League of Nations refuses to discuss the Russian problem at the request of the Norwegian government, in regard to the effect of the famine Europe. The League passes the oues- ton on to Genoa.
 Either there is great wisdom in the League, or great inefliciency. If the former is the case it is plain that wis dom has dictated the inadvisibility of any League action that might be con- strued by Russia as another excuse for false reasoning, another basis for proposals which fail to deal with the vital trouble with Russia. If the action of the league is the result of a lack of efficiency and desire to avoid talk ing up perplexing prblems, 1t is an- other evidence that the League, as constituted, is practically body wait. ing to be organized fully, ready for energetic action when the awaited leader enters 1.-the leader whose coming is not yet despaired of, the United States.
 There is little question as to the wisdom of the Leagues action. whether wisdom or luck inspired it. Anything that might complicate the situation in regard to Russia would be a mistake. Of course the matter of the effect of the famine on European re- construction will not be taken LID at Genoa. Sending 1t to the conference was a tabling of it. But no more would have been accomplished had the League looked into the matter

ashes in the city removed by the city from places where they are not want ed to places where the should do some good. to city dumps, to spots where they may be made use of by the city, Thousands of payments by individuals to others for removing the ashes add up to large sum- If the city, by talk Ing over ash collections, systematized this matter the sum paid would be appreciably less and such smaller sum would be borne by the taxpayers equally in proportion to the benefits received. Thus large amount of money now being paid for something which could be done much more cheaply, when under city control
 would be released for other use--to the benefit of the people of the city.
 Elimination of waste in a communi- ty Is the great step to make in gain ing the greatest prosperity. There is waste of money and energy in pri- vate attention to the removal of ashes To have the city attend to this matter would save waste in both directions to say nothing of the direct advantage to the city of having fixed rules as to where and when ashes should be dumped 10 be made of use not to be cause of trouble and annoyance.

THAT GENOA RESULT

It was stated in these columns last Saturday that Genoa had produced one result that would help matters in the future, namely the hopelessness had been shown of trying to treat with Russia using the logic familiar to thinkers of others nations; that their basic viewpoints were antagon- istic. Perhaps this should have been known before the Genoa conference was held. It remained, however for the fact to be empraszed at Genoa. Yesterday Lloyd George acknowledg- ed this to be the case
 There is no doubt at all that the two systems are quite irreconcilab ble- ] the system in Russia and that obtain | ing iii other parts of the world" says Lloyd George. And also: We have therefore had to try to approach the problem from different point of view seeing whether we cannot reconcile these divergencies in practice if we cannot do it in principle"
 Thus Genoa was necessary The Hague will follow and the discussions there will not be delayed by the at- tempt, shown at Genoa to be vain, to reconcile the principles. The prin- ciples vii be granted Russia's fallacy, according to the idea of the rest of the world, and the other nations conception of what is right. An arrangement will be made, if possible to work out practical jus tce without disturbing either princi- pie
 And in this work the United States powers decided to delay no longer looking to the United States to change its mind and agree to try to settle af- fairs while this basic fallacy of er- roneous conception of private prop erty prevails.
 When Russia shows she will ob- serve contracts and will produce" under fundamentally correct business practice, no matter what theoretical principles she may profess, the United States will lend her aid to European reconstruction. The United States is
 looking not at promises and profes- sions but rather at practices and what they produce.

EXCHANGE TICKER
 IS NOW IMPROVED
Instantaneous Record of Trans.
 actions Will Result

New York, May 1S (By Associated Press )-An almost instantaneous rec ord of transactions on the floor of the New York stock exchange is expected to result from improvements in the official ticker. The new service will start soon.
 Elimination of present delays, which range from ten to 30 minutes in an active market, is expected by exchange officials to do away with so per cent of the complaints now received against brokers unjustly suspected of eXacting exorbitant profits.
 A customer puts in an order to buy or sell at a brokers office believing that the next recorded sale of the stock on the ticker will indicate his purchase or selling price. In an &C., tive market two or three transactions may have occurred in the same stock between the time the order was placed and the time it was recorded, often accounting for substantial difference in price.
 Small Buyers Complain.
 These complaints originate largely from purchasers of odd lots of less
New Britain herald., 1922-05-18

than 100 shares. While no official record of. these transactions is made on the ticker it is estimated that they total one-third as many shares as are included in regularly recorded trans actions. Brokers generally charge on these small transactions one-eighth of a point away from the market in ad- dition to the regular commission.
 At present, four sending operators on the floor send their quotations to four receiving operators on one of the upper floors in the building, who turn them over to master operator who transmits them on the official ticker. Under the new arrangements the four sending operators will send directly to the master instrument, the mechan- ism being so arranged that the quota tions will be recorded almost as fast as they are received. The machine resembles telegraph printers.

have won the right to better hours and more consideration, .....
 The purchase of new combination pump chemical and hose has been urged in these columns As pointed out in the report had a fire occurred while the only available apparatus was being repaired the damage done would have amounted to much more, probably, than the cost of the new apparatus, Moreover, with the extra pump available, the old one may be operhauled, with no expense to the city except for the new parts. Failure to obtain this extra pump will mean the old one will gradually deteriorate until q new one has to be purchased anyway and the city will again find itself with but one apparatus, while if the purchase be made now the con- dition of the old pump Is such as to permit of it's continued use, when overhauled, and the city will not be left partially unprotected "A stitch in time is most timely in this con- nection,
 It is easy to postpone matters which are not pressing. No great flame is rising above the city at the moment. People rest secure. Wait" is q popu- lar word.
 But that word shonld be stricken from actions lexicon where health and life are involved

FIRE REPORT

It is satisfactory to find that the board of fire commissioners is now unanimous in it's recommendation that steps be taken to provide for the two-platoon system for the fire de- partment at once. The failure to adopt this progressive step in the de- partment, after it had been authorized and the money appropriated therefor has been a cloud on the city. But more than justice to the tiremen will result from the adoption of this plan. The chief of the Bridgeport fire de- |. pertinent says, regarding the effect of the inauguration of the two-pa- toon system there: 'The work is so much better that the department does not seem like the same department, but like a new one"
 There has been little to complain of in the local department. New Brit ain has been proud of it; the city had . right to be. But the effectiveness of the department has been gained through the loyalty of the men who, at the expense of comfort, laboring under abnormal living conditions with respect to home life and free time,
