Johnny Kilbane, featherweight "champeen" of the world for ten years, is going abroad in a couple of months to exhibit himself before the ring fans of Europe at so much per exhibit. No matter what individual opinions are held there as to J'of1nny's ability, the fistica1ly inclined boys win be glad to get a look at him
 Johnny will go across with the name of being the second man in ring history to hold a championship over such a span of years. John L.. Sulli- van. one of the great heavyweight quartet of the old days, was the other chap with such a record. Sullivan won his title February ', 1882, and held it until September 1, 1892.
 Kflly. as his/ home town folk call him, won his crown. from the crafty Abe AtteI. February 22, 1912. His great reception back home in CIeve- land on March IT following, is still talked of.
 He has been fighting 5 years. He was a. weakling when Jimmy Dunn, who later piloted him to the title, took him in as handy man around Dunn's training camp.
 Tn the 15 years since inc has fought 137 battles. The majority of these were staged after he became king Most of his cont tests as champ, how ever, have been no-decision affairs His last fight was in defense of his ti- tie against Danny Frush, native of England, last September. KiIbane knocked out Brush in the seventh round in torrid affair

''Fraudulent Buildcrs''

testimony indicating that one Of the
main purposes of the formation OF the
Cement Manufacturers Protective AS
sociation was to protect its members
from the fraudulent practices of build
ers was given in Federal Court yester-
day during the cross examination of
Miss Mary Phelan, secretary of that
organization, the only witness placed
on the stand during the day. She de-
cared the exchange of information on
specific contracts was intended to pre-
vent duplication and that the asso-
ciation's investors were employed to
make excessive estimates impossible
Explaining the conditions which
made necessary these steps, she al
legged that in one year orders for g.
100000 barrels of cement had been du-
plicated and that $500 900 barrels had
been ordered from the mills in excess
of requirements. This total, she de-
clared, is more than the annual pro-
duction of an average plant. The in
terence from her testimony was that
builders placed excessive orders with
the intention Of abiding by their agree
ments only in case of an increase in
the price of cement
Under cross examination Miss Phelan
added that no information relating to
specific contracts was furnished to the
association until all papers had been
signed, and that even then only the
flat prices were given out. Counsel for
the defence put the question to show
that the association had done nothing
to make collusive bidding possible.

Again in Effort to
Obtain DER Books
Court Grants Broker Stay
of 80 Days for Appeal to
U. S. Supreme Court:
Injunction Plea Denied

Distrlct Attorne Banton temporarily
was held UP yesterday in his efforts to
obtain the books of the bankrunt
brokerage house Of E. D. DER & Co.,
now IN the hands of receiver. Fed,
elal Judge Learned Hand. who decided
that the District Attorney had a right
10 the books, granted stay Of thirty
days pending argument and dctermina-
ION OF an appeal from his decision to
the application of Nash lockwood
counsel for DER
Previous to this Judge Hand signed
an order denying the application for an
injunction restraining the receiver
from turning the books over to the
District Attorney. Judge Hand held
against the contention OF DER that
surrender Of the books to a criminal
prosecutor would be a violation of the
constitutional privilege of BANKRUPT.
district Attorney Banton asserted that
there was no legal point on which the
books could be withheld because Dier
q Co. had made no objection when
they were turned over to the receiver
He said he contemplated criminal
prosecution of the der firm and de-
sired the books for presentation to the
grand jury.
In granting the temporary stay, fol-
lowing his decision in favor Of the
District Attorney, Judge Hand said
that the question of whether the stay
would be extended beyond the thirty
day period would depend upon the dill
gence exercised by the attorneys for
DER in making such application for
preference in the Supreme Court and
upon the action taken by the Supreme
Court in regard to the granting of the

appeal could not be argued in the Su-
preme Court before October he would
