New York, July 11-Uns.) Ut cost Joe Lynch exactly S9.1oO.3o to win back his lslntanLweisht title from Johnny Buff last night.
 According to the articles of agreement, Buff was to receive S3O.OOO from Lynch if he lost the title. Lynch was to pay Bull from his 50 Fer cent. cut of the net receipts. These amounted to S41.6993O: therefore, Lynch lacked nearly $1O.O0O of having Buff7S guarantee in hand.

Joe Lynch held out a good left arm and permitted Johnny Buff to knock off his own crown-the bantamweight championship of the world
 In the beginning Lynch ripped a cut on Bluffs lower lip and from then on it was the challenger's fight It was apparent in the early rounds when Buff found himself unable to get past that long left arm to land the devastating short blows to the ribs, then it was one of those rare occas- ions where an eX-champion "comes back"
 Those times have been few-though dozens have tried it. One a most not a ble in memory was that Of Stanley KetcheI who took a lacing from Billy Papke and afterward gave licking to his conqueror. However, Buff and his title to Pete Herman and the New Orleans boy had fallen before the Jersey Skeeter.''
 As Buff weakened, Lynch drove his left in the champions face, bringing it down and across with a powerful then, upon occasions, crossing over with terrific right. Several times he had Buff on the ropes and at other times groggy and half blind.
 Buff landed comparatively few blows and missed often. His one were far wide. He had weakened so perceptibly that Lynch sent him crashing to the floor when they flew together in the 14th round Then Frank Bagley, his chief second, knew it would be unfair to ask him to- go on. Buff had just recovered from an operation on a neck gland, and while he said he was fit, those who have been observing him before, knew he wasn't himself last night.

Prosperity in Nebraska.

The Omaha business men who made long
trip through western Iowa, into South Dakota
and across northern Nebraska came home with
glowing accounts of the visible evidences of ma
terial prosperity that were seen along the route
Instead of communities downcast and detected
they found the citizens up and coming with all
sorts OF public and private work under headway,
chief of which was the large amount of paving
that is being done. A we'll known Omaha builder
said last week that although he did not have
as much work in the city as usual, he was so
busy with out-of-town work that he scarcely
could give all the attention it demands. Reports
from different localities as we'll as from the head
quarters Of the agricultural department at Lin
coin all tend to one point, that the crop outlook
never was so good as at present, Bankers agree
that money is more plentiful and borrowers are
finding less difficulty in finding accommodations
than for a long time past. All these signs mean
that the day for the pessimist is past the calamity
howler has been driven to his hole by the sun
shine Of prosperity in Nebraska, and that indus
try and thrift will be rewarded here as it has
been in days gone by. The Bee repeats the ad-
vice it gave them months ago, when these things
could be discerned. Lets gop

Unwinding Red Tape.

Announcement OF plan by the United States
: Chamber OF Commerce for the use of arbitration
to settle commercial disputes is matter of major
importance. This movement does not concern
capital and labor, but only groups of business
men. 1t looks, not to a fairer decision, but to
one more prompt and less costly In it may be
seen another Indication OF the fact that the Amer
ican judicial system has become so clogged with
technicalites and red tape that revision is neces-
sary.
This is the age of prevention. The medical
profession strives to eliminate or forestal disease
instead of centering its full attention on curative
methods The best attorneys try to adjust their
cases out of court and strive constantly to dis
courage litigation. There are many indications
that the reform of legal procedure is on the way.
If this movement for the arbitration of trade
disputes succeeds, it will not only remove some
OF the congestion in the courts, but will in due
course OF time encourage consideration Of plans
for the simpheation Of the processes of justice.
There are suggested three main features of such
