kiIliIsa suspe endsd-Has Hopes

Marty Killilea. manager of middle
weight champion Johnny Wilson.
arrived back Wednesday from New
York. where he had a hearing before
the boxing commissioners. KILLED
stated that while he and Wilson still
stand suspended, he feels that even
tually the commissioners will change
their minds.
Promoter Rickard was very fair
about the matter" said Killilea. II
met him the night before we went
before the commissioners. He told
me that he would call everything off
and give me back the contract
signed. Furthermore, he would tell
the commissioners the next day to
lift the suspension.
HE did as he agreed. He called
Chairman Muldoon on the phone and
told him how he stood, and asked him
to lift the suspension. Muldoon made
Us appear before the board. Richard
told the board to lift the suspension,
as he and I had come to an UNDER
standing, SO that he would have Will
son meet someone else instead of
Greb.
"Even after Rickard made his
statement, the board insisted that
Wilson would have to fight Greb and
stand suspended till he did so. I did
not have any witnesses or counsel at
the hearing, for after the talk had
with Rickard I thought it was not
necessary to bring them before the
board. told Rickard l was willing
to let Wilson fight Gene ,Tunney. The
bout appealed to Rickard and he
would put 1t on If the suspension was
llfted."-Boston Globe.

Federal Warehouses
for Farm Products
Increase Capacity

Washington, Jan. ID - Figures
showing the growth In Federal
bonded warehouses for storing Of
agricultural products have been
compiled by the department of agri-
culture for the information Of dele
gates to the National Agricultural
conference which meets here next
Monday. Federal warehousing Is ex-
pected to be considered by the con-
ference In connection with its study
Of marketing.
The figures as compiled and made
public today show that under the
Federal warehouse act. one OF the
laws recently put on the statute
books, the department had licensed
257 cotton warehouses;. with q ca
pacity Of 100 600 bales, .278 grain
warehouses with capacitysof about
100000 600 bushels: Is wool ware
houses with q capacity Of about one
seventh of the annual wool clip Of
the country and five tobacco ware
houses.
Declaring the movement has re-
ceived a great impetus in the last
year. officials say that an application
was pending from a big cotton ware
house in New Bedford. Mass, with q
capacity Of over 100000 bales to
come In under the Federal act. This
was said to be the first one received
from the cotton cloth mill section Of
New England. Others there, how
ever. have approached the depart
ment for information on require
ments Of the Federal law. it was said.
Officials of the department believe
that absence OF Federal grades for
tobacco has been responsible for only
Ave tobacco warehouses so far COM
plying under the Federal law. The
department is now working on ten
tative tobacco grades and when this
work is completed it Is the opinion
of those doing the work that the to-
bacco industry will join the cotton,
grain and woolen interests in seek
ing benefits Of the warehouse act.

Christian Science
Trustees Hearing
Ends at Boston

Boston, Jan. 19-The hearing or the
petition of the trustees OF the Chris
tian Science Publishing Society for
allowance of their accounts conclud-
ed today in the supreme court. The
afternoon session was devoted to ar
guments by foremr Governor John L.
Bates for the directors of the First
church of Christ, Scientist, and
Lothrop Wilmington for the trustees
Five witnesses for the directors ap-
peared at the morning session.
Judge Crosby took the matter un-
der advisement. Tomorrow afternoon
he is expected to consider the names
of three trustees recommended by
the directors to all existing vacan-
rcies.
Gov. Bates criticized items In the
accounts Of the trustees, which he
contended did not show a diligent
care for the interest of trust. He
asserted that the report Of the ac-
countants who made the audit for the
trustees was made to please the par
ties who had employed them. Mr..
Bates asked the court to disallow
items Of expenditures for travelling
and hotel bills as they appeared In
the audit.
Mr.. Wilmington contended that In
the administration of the trust, the
trustees had exercised their. best
judgment. He said that within a
period of two years they had handled
$40, ,OO0, 900 out Of which only four or
five payments. amounting to not more
than 100000 had been attacked.
Mrs Eddy's mandate to the trus-
tees. he declared, was to conduct the
business on a strictly christian ba-
sis" upon their own responsibilities.
The purpose Of the trust, Mr.. With
ington said. was the promotion and
extension of her teachings and. not
merely the making OF money.
Mr. Bates asserted that the pay
ment of $34d a month to Paul Har-
vey for rent in New York was case
of a trustee paying himself out OF
the trust fund.

Comments on St. HiIairs

Manager Tom Travers is sending
the pride of his stable, Dusty Du-
mont, into two tough bouts next
week, which to an ordinary boxer
would mean considerable of a con-
tract to handle in one week. Wednes-
day night Dusty meets Joe Gibbs,
one Of the best men in the game, at
the Exposition building, Portland,
and the following Friday. Dusty is to
meet Joe st. Hilaire Of Somersworth
at Augusta. st. Hilaire recently
fought at Augusta and drew a $1,700
house, indicating that he is favorite
with the boxing fans of that city, so
Dusty will make an extra effort to
win in this bout in an attempt to re-
place st. Hilaire in the eyes of the
Augusta fans.-Biddeford Journal.

Tonight's Wrestling
Show Has Quality

The three star wrestling bouts that
are to take place this evening at City
hall are of such quality that tonight
promises to be the most interesting
of the season for Augusta sport fans.
Curley Spheeris, who has been the
talk Of the town for the past few
weeks, will go against one Of the
toughest customers in the light
heavyweight class in ]. G. Brown OF
New York. Curley has fought many
hard battles but expects tonight's to
be one Of the most trying in his ca
reer. He has taken no chances in his
training for the match and his con-
dition will permit Of no alibis in case
of defeat. Brown Is also in good
sha pc and thoroughly confident of
victory. Curley says J. G. may be
surprised early in the fracas. When
Spheeris wrestled Abbott last sum-
mer he put something across In the
surprise line by beating man who
was almost unanimously picked to
win.
]. G. Brown called at the Journal
Office last evening having come over
from Lewiston. where he has been
training and keeping in condition.
Brown won match last Tuesday
night in Lawrence, Mass, from Bill
Mclean OF Rochester, N. Y. taking
the first fall in 1 hour and 4S min
utes. The second fall had gone SO
minutes. when in scrimmage they
went to the mat. with Brown on top.
breaking two of McLean's ribs. The
match was therefore awarded Brown.
Brown says he is in perfect condi-
ton and will surely win tonight.
Ernest Abbott's bout with Sailor
Brown of Newport, r. l.. is q grand
opportunity for the Augusta boy to
advance in wrestling renown. Ever
since Spheeris' arrival in town Alb.
bott has been clamoring for a match
with him but was turned down on
the grounds that he didn't have the
reputation to warrant It. II he de-
feats the sailor, 1t IL said, the way
will be open to an encounter with
Curley. Both the semi final contest
ants say they are fit.

New Fair Races
Policy to Be Tried

Bangor. Me-, Jan. 19-In connec-
tion with their racing programs sew
eral OF the Maine fairs will the COM
ing season inaugurate new policy
in the way OF an experiment. This
was the decision made at the We'd
nesday morning meeting Of the
Maine Association of Agricultural
Fairs, held at the Chamber of Com
merce. to refund the entrance fee to
all horses finishing the race in the
case of certain Of the events.
This experiment will be tried out
this season by the fairs at Houlton.
Presque Isle, Lewiston and Bangor in
the case of the free e-for-all event
with a. 900 purse. while the Water
willie and Gorham fairs will try it in
the same event with a purse of
81 600. The same policy will be fol-
lowed in the 2.3O stake trot for a
$1,000 purse. In this. race entries
will close June 1, when a payment of
one per cent. will be due, the second
Of two per cent. will be due July /.
when the horses will have to be
named. For the other races the gen.
eral conditions decided upon in the
case of the early closings were one per
cent. at entrance, two at the time OF
nomination and seven per cent. de-
Quoted from winners. Free hay
and straw will be provided during
the race weeks.
The superintendent of the live
stock departments discussed various
matters, and a decision was made to
pay premiums on the last day of the
fair rather than at later date. This
policy has been followed for some
years by the Eastern Maine Fair.
The matter of uniform entrance
fee was also decided upon and 1t
was agreed to open up the stalls to
all registered thoroughbreds rather
than selected breeds, with a provi-
sion, however, limiting the premium
for a class, where no competition
results.
1t was voted to extend the authority
Of the membership committee, which
will notify the secretary of every fair
in the State that he is authorized to
solicit members for the association.
The representatives of advertising
companies, vaudeville booking houses
and fireworks concerns were in at
tendance again Wednesday morning
to talk with those of the fair officials.
