Vicentini, From
Chile, Loses to
Johnny Shugrue

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.--Some of
the current frost and chill died a
lot, to Tex Rickard s second South
American "Jack Plant - in Madison
Square Garden last night when
Luis Vicentini, Chilean lightweight,
dropped to Johnny Shugrue of Jer-
sey City.
Vicentini is a miniature of the
famous Firpo plant which was trans
planted into American soil, guilty,
ated and nursed carefully and
bloomed out into million dollars in
one season.
The unexpected frost that was
encountered last night withered but
the Vicentini bud but it no doubt
will be revived.
Shugrue who is ont so good and
who was rumored to be about half
blind, took a hard socking from the
right hand Of the South American,
but he knew too much and he was
awarded the decision after II
rounds.
Many of the customers thought
Vicentini might have been entitled
to draw bv exerting a little of
the courtesy that could be extend
ed to a victory.
Tex Rickard said today that the
bout did not upset his plans for the
South American and he was going
right along with him.

Railroads Sc Elk
Maintenance of
DeciduOus Rate

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 15.-Reasons
why the railroads are seeking to
maintain the $173 freight rate to
eastern points on deciduous fruit
while consenting to a reduction of
the $1.73 rate to $1.55 on oranges
to the same markets was told today
by M. A. Cummings, assistant gen.
eral freight agent of the Southern
Pacific at the Interstate Commerce
hearing here.
The new loading rule will save the
roads hauling several thousand re-
frigerator cars per year, with con
sequent reductions in operating ex-
penses.
He admitted that the net ton mile
earnings of the roads on deciduous
fruits were higher than most pro-
ducts shipped from California. They
are higher than citrus fruits under
the new $1.55 rate on oranges and
the present $3.50 rate on lemons.

Valentino May Be
on the Job Soon
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The fam
Gus Players-Lasky Corporation to-
day denied that an agreement had
been made with Rudolph Valentino
whereby he would return to work
for them. The movie actor has been
prevented from making pictures for
two years by a court injunction aris-
ing out of a legal tangle over his
contract with the film company. Ne
gotiations are under way, it is un-
derstood, which will probably lead
to an agreement soon with both
sides, making concessions.

WIDOW
Of LUMBERMA|V|S
:. HELD UNDER BOND

SAN AUGUSTINE, Tex, Jan. s.
rounds the death Of Hiram Knox,
millionaire east Texas lumberman, as
a result of the abrupt ending here
Saturday of habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted by attorneys for Mrs.
Lillian Knox, widow of the slain
man, charged with his murder.
Knox was found dead in his bed
room November &c with bullet
wound in his head.
A few minutes after the hearing
was resumed attorneys agreed on a
$4,000 bond for Mrs. Knox. Mrs.
Knox made the LUnd and is free to
await the action of the March grand
jury on the murder charge.
Despite statements attributed to
the district attorney that new evil
dence would be introduced and the
expressed determination on the part
of the defense attorneys to have read
in court the letters found on the
body Of Knox the morning of his
death, no new evidence was pre-
scented, the courts decision being
made entirely on the evidence as pre-
scented in the examination trial at
Hemphill.
Spectators were left to surmise
whether the discovery late Friday of
a deed made by Knox five days be-
fore his death transferring all his
great properties to his wife had any
thing to do with the unexpected
agreement of attorneys on both sides
virtually to postpone further action
until the grand jury investigates the
case.
The deed was found in the files of
the San Augustine county clerk S
office by a newspaper correspondent.
Defense attorneys indicated that they
would present it in evidence imme-
diately as removing all motive for
the alleged crime charged against
their client. State attorneys were ex-
pected to question it's validity.
The defense hailed the setting of
bond at $4,000 as a victory, asserting
that it minimized the seriousness of
the testimony presented in the. ex-
aiming trial at Hemphill.
