Little Claude Wilson won his way back into the hearts of Magic City ring fans Monday night. when he fought a whole-souled battle against the flower of Atlantas fistic cir cles-Timmie O'Dowd-and came off with a draw decision. I. was one of the best fights staged in a Bir- mingham, ring in months, and Claude Wilson's colors were flying proudly over his fort at the end of the en- gagement.
 The bout was 8 thriller from the very first, and at no time did either boy have much of an edge on the other. Once, O'Dowd forged to the front, but Claude Wilson set his teeth in bull dog fashion. and fought his heart out during the last three rounds to secure a draw with O'Dowd. 1t was a comeback such as only men of nerve and stamina can stage. and Claude left the ring a virtual victor in his most important. Dixie fight Tn several weeks.
 Claudio had fallen from the graces of fandom somewhat, due to a cou- pie of trouncings he received at the club during his past three or four fights. The fans were dubious, as Tommy, Tompkins brought his pro- tege back from an eastern invasion, with press reports and assertions Of Jersey fandOms that wilson was a. wonder.

EXTENSIVE GROWTH OF
LOCAL INDEBTEDNESS
BURDEN OF 81 A YEAR ON EV-
cry MAN, WOMAN, CHILD,
STATISTICS SHOW.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The Nation
al Industrial Conference board today
sounded warning against the extern
sive growth of local Indebtedness, the
| inevitable result of which "is that fu-
ture generations will be weighed
down by debts, the proceeds of which
are being used for the construction of
Improvements that the present gener-
alton is enjoying and many of which
will have out1ived their usefulness
within the present generation"
The board calls attention to the
fact that the total gross bonded in
debtedness of state and local govern
ments has increased from $3.50, 000,-
600 in 1918 to more than $4,000, 000,-
900 at present, placing an annual bur
den of $4 on every man, woman and
child in this country for debt service
charges.
Several inheritances of large in
creases in the last ten years are cited,
notably Arizona from $1O,000,000 to
S43, 100000; California from $10,000,-
600 to $76000,000, and the combined
indebtedness of county governments
from 9lZ,UUU,UOU 10 pII1,Vuu,VOo.
Some municipalities, the board
says, 'have utilized methods more be-
coming to fy-by-night enterprises
than to governmental bodies that
should serve as models of conduct to
private industry. There are cases
where bonds have been issued to pay
| current expenses contrary to specific
state laws, where legal debt limits
have been exceeded, and where valua-
tons have been considerably boosted
so as to keep municipal issues within
the legal debt limit.
School buildings, it adds, have been
financed by sixty-hve year bonds and
in one case. the board found that a
municipality sold block of bonds in
1872 for acquiring water works which
were never bought although the bonds
have twice been refunded.

the depot to the presidential entrance
which was last used by Mr.. Harding
when starting his Alaskan trip, Mr.
Coolidge raised his hat and bowed
quietly to the crowd behind the ropes
There were no cheers, but spectators
raised their hats. The reception
throughout was marked by its dignity
and silence.
President Coolidge went directly to
his suite in the Willard hotel, where
he and Mrs. Coolidge will remain TN
til Mrs. Harding, at her convenience

COM MUNISTS ON WAY
TO UNITED STATES
PLAN NEW DRIVE TO SPREAD
PROPAGANDA. HAVE UN-
LIMITED RUBLES.

Russia is sending reinforCements to
the United States to start new drive
in the war of propaganda which the
communists have been waging over
here for the last several years. They
aim to overthrow the government OF
this country and substitute a soviet
regime, similar to that of Russia.
Washington, aware of the new
menace, is preparing to take action.
Have False Passports.
Agents of the Russian communists
are on their way to Canada, from
which country they expect to slip in
to the United States.
They are fortified with false pass
ports to gain admittanCe into Canada.
They expect to sneak over the border.
George Salutzki, member OF the
central committee of the Russian COM
munist party, is en- route to Canada
in company with two comrades, Jas1-
ten and SHERMAN. There are nine
others on the way or ready to en-
bark, among them one Lepse, who
has 100000 gold rubles at his COM
mand to spread the principles OF COM
munism in this country.
Plans have already been made tor
the work they are to perform over
here. The Russky Golos, a newspaper
printed in New York city, will be
medium for the dissemination OF com
munistic propaganda.
Workers All Over Country.
Charges have been made that Amer
lean minor officials with the Amer1-
can relief association in Russia gave
valuable help to the communists on
their way here in securing passports
and supplying them with information.
This has been vigorously denied by
association officials.
The chief of the communist move,
ment in the United States is believed
to be one Removy, who is said to be
in San Francisco, Cal, at the present
time. He has workers posted all over
the country.
