Slavery Days Remain
in Southwest Africa

Notwithstanding to the admins
traitors report for last year, which has
just been issued here, slavery still is
rampant in southwest Africa, chiefly
among the tribes living by the Okla
vango river, in territory taken over
by the British from Germany during
the war.
The report says that more than half
of the people in the district are slaves,
the chiefs, of course, keeping the
greater number. The slaves are used
for work in the fields and tending
herds, as well as for servants. Each
male slave is given field of his own
to cultivate but has to give up part
of his crops to his master. On the
death of slave anything he may have
possessed becomes the property of his
chief
The children of slaves become slaves
in their turn, and chiefs will often
barter them for cattle.
AS soon as the territory passed from
German into British hands an officer
was sent to explain to the chiefs that
slave-keeping had now come to an
end, but so far the custom has not
been entirely stamped out.

THE BIG FIGHT

Everyone should attend champion
ship boxing bout at least once in a
lifetime, regardless of their like or
dislike for the fighting game.
There is something to be seen and
heard outside of the fight itself, and
also something to be learned.
While not exactly delightful to one
with delicate sensibilities. many thou
sand boxing fans present a spectacle
that is we'll worth observing. Unlike
a baseball or football crowd, in fact
unlike anything but a fight crowd
which is in class by itself.
In Jersey City Thursday night OF
last week celebrities rubbed elbows
with tramps to see the Wild Bull OF
the Pampas knock big Jess Willard
out.
Swearing, betting, pushing, eating
all in crude but jolly fashion, the
great majority of fans waited for the
big fight quite contemptuous of the
penny fights that preceded it.
Then little by little the enthusiasm
rose until 100000 necks We're stretch
ed TO get glimpse of the headliners
AS the fight proceeded the fight in
stinct rose until literal mob roaret
in perfect unison, Come on, Jessn
Fans cursed fans in disputes over Ger
tain punches. Police railroaded Ger
tain Objectionable onlookers from the
arena. Some tainted from various
causes but behind IL all the demand
for fair play that characterizes the
American audience of sport lovers.
One thing that interested the writer
was the never passing cloud formed
OF tobacco smoke. which spread haze
over the big bowl for hours, and the
constant lighting of cigarettes, pipes
and cigars brought to mind an army
of giant firefiies.
After the fight one could. hear the
cheers Of those who were pleased witf
the results and the rumbled alibis

Transplantina Insects Heads.

A remarkable experiment has been
tried at the biological research labora-
tory of the Vienna Academy of Sci
ences by DR.. Walter Finkler who in
order to solve certain problems con-
nected with the correlation of. body
and soul, cut off and exchanged the
heads of insects duly narcotized. The
head having been lifted out. of the
thorax socket, was severed from the
trunk by a simple stroke of the scis-
sors and transferred to another indi-
vidual treated in the same manner.
The blood thus escaping, which, by
the state of narcosis, was reduced to
a minimum, Immediately closed the
edges Of the wound and, without any
seams or other means Of fixation,
merely in virtue of it's natural ad-
hesion, kept the head in the position
most suitable for healing.-Scientific

THE THREATENED STRIKE

Wednesday's Hudson Dlspalch
nrinted an editorial relative 10 the
threatened strike Of the trolleymen Oh
August /, and part of same is reprint
cd below which is a very fair review
of both sides of the situation paseu
on the statements of the president OIL
the company and the representative
of the employees:
"a few years ago the trolleymen IN
the employ of Public Service went on
strike. II was an uncalled-for strike.
THE strikers received no sympathy
from the public and PUBLIC oPiN-
ION forced the men back to WORK.
THEY LOST THEIR STRIKE, as
they deserved to.
In April, this year, the trolleymen
submitted to Public Service state
ment calling for changes in the new
agreement to go into effect August l.,
at which time the two-year agreement
of 1921 expires.
"This statement calls for wage in
creases that amount to about thirty
per cent, according to the reply OIL
President McCarter, made yesterday.
The increased wages, however, are
only part of the big increase. Short
er hours and changed working condi-
tions would add considerably to the
wage burden which Public Service
would have to bear
yesterday President Carter made
reply, through carefully prepared
statement 1t was not the cold, cal
culating statement of an old-fashioned
corporation tyrant; it was the state
ment of a business man, based on
business principles.
INF. McCarter made two things
very plain:
"1. The request for increased wages
is not justified by any increase in cost
of living. On the other hand, sta
tistics showed that living costs are
lower now than when the present
wage scale went into effect.
"2. The financial condition of Pub
lie Service Railway, with a deficit of
considerably over million in the re-
cent years, has not permitted of divi-
dends to stockholders, and increased
WAGES WOulu ullFe the Solupdhy ihto
insolvency.
"Mr. McCarter in his statement
went into things very fully. He not
only went into great detail, but he Of
fered to open the books of the COM
pany to properly accredited repre-
sentatives of the trolleymen to prove
his statements"
Note, then, the difference between
Mr. McCarters statement and the
. statement of William Wepner, chair
man for the trolleymen, as shown by
the following parallel:
Mr.. McCarter: "The books of the
company are open to your representa-.
tives, and all the figures and facts
stated herein may be easily certified
These facts conclusively show how
impossible it is for the company to
grant, at this time. any increase in
wages. will be very glad to
discuss further with you any of these
matters at such time as may be mu.
tually agreeable"
Mr.. Wepner: Until such time as
the company is ready to talk money
matters the responsibility will rest up
on 1t. If the public is inconvenienced
1t Will be up to the company. The
joint conference board stands ready
to talk turkey. but IT WILL GIVE
THE COMPANY'S STATEMENT NO
CONSIDERATION"

 The fourth and fifth were so close that neither could be credited to eith- CT man. Both were working for a kayo and neither could land in the right spot. Time after time Johnson worked Love around the ring only to have the smaller man work out of the tight corners. Loves shifty footwork and clever ducking made Johnson seem slow by comparison at times, but the Canadian kept crowd ing his man.
 In the. sixth the sailor rushed his man twice just after the bell but was unable to penetrate Johnson's guard for real wallop. Love was stronger in the sixth than any round except the first. Near the end Johnson kept glancing at the timekeepers as if waiting to hear the bell but he was not apparently in any distress. The sixth was probably Loves by a small, very small, margin.
 While the judges decision of a draw was, on the whole, well received some of the fans thought that John son should have had the decision.

BARRACAR WINS
 KIRKLAND MATCH
Harland Loses Tn Semi-Final After Game Fight-Match
 Goes Five Sets.

Before the largest gallery of the season, J. F. Barragar Saturday after noon defeated Charles l. Harland in the first of the semi-final events in the mems singles division in the Ten. his Clubs tournament. Harland was eliminated only after a game struggle which lasted five sets and the out come was in doubt almost all the way.
 Barrager's even, steady playing was the deciding factor in the match Harland was apparently nervous at the beginning of the match and, after he had steadied down and won two sets, became oyeronxious and lost his chance to pull through the finals.
 The first set went to Barrager eas- fly, GO. In the second set Harland' s play improved and he won a number of points on placement and service. The second also went to Barrager, GA
 In the third set Harland worked 6-1. Barragar tried hard to send the match in the fourth set, but liar land took the lead and held it all the way, Barragar forcing it to overtime play but losing, 5-7.
 The fifth and deciding set started on even terms. The first four games were divided evenlye each player talk ing two. The last. four went to Barragar. whose steadiness contrast ed strongly with the over.eagerness
