MANDELL WIPES
UP ARENA WITH
COAST CHAMPION
Nv United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Sammy
Mandell, lightweight from Eock-
ford, ILL.,, can use tho return stub
on his railroad ticket whenever he
choses and 90 home TO tell tho
folks how he whipped 'hc champion
of the Pacific Coast. Last. night
at Jack Doyle 5 Vernon Coliseum
Johnny Adams, of San Berna" limo,
who holds the l'acfic slope title,
lost every round to the middle
wosterner and there was scarcely
murmur of disapproval despite
Adams strong following.
The southland favoritc was up
against Il craftier man, one who is
master at close in work, and was
hardly ever there when the cham
pion stepped in with his terrific
slugs. Mandcll was Il Shifty Zoe,
and Adams couldn't find him. That
was the story of the fight.
On the other hand, Adams took
an assortment Of biffs on the chin
which would have downad hard
ier youth, and came back for ,a0rc.
Adams did not lose his title, as it
was not at stake in the engage
ment with the visitor from Illinois.
All he lost was the fight and
perhaps q bit of assurance which
il viii take Il few victories TO re
gain.
Tony Fuente, Tic Mexican heavy
weight hope, won his fourth straight
fight by a Knockout when he, sent
huge Jack McGreer, of Universal
City, sprawling to the floor in the
second round.
For cleverness, ll6-pound Jimmy
| McLarnin, of Oakland, was the best
entry of the evening. He made
Benny Diuz appear foolish, exhibit

work and singing blows which is
seldom seen in a 10 year old school

HAWAIIAN PLANTERS CHARGE CONSPIRACY
Tell Washington Real Sugar
 Costs Are Concealed

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Hawaiian Sugar Planters association filed brief with the tariff commits sion today charging that the commits sion had been unable to obtain figures on the actual cost of sugar production in Cuba and that a conspiracy exists to prevent this information becoming known.
 Eastern refiners, who, the Hawaiian planters said control 76 per cent of the Cuban output, were charged with try ing to force the commission to accept as cost of production the entire profit made by the Cuban plantations.
 When the refiners have been able to skyrocket" the price in New York the brief asserted, "the apparent" cost of production in Cuba ''soars to a point where it is shown by the figures that Cuba actually needs protection against the beet and cane growers of the United States.

WILL NOT OPPOSE
 LA BATRE MEASURE
Engineer Not To Obstruct Bill
 For Bayou Development

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 2S- Especial. )-While General Beach. chief of government engineers. will not in- dorse the proposition whereby the fed eral government would join with the state in improving Bayou La Batre, he will not oppose an amendment to the rivers and harbors bill carrying such a provision, it is learned today.
 Such an amendment will be intro duced by Representative John McDuffie of the First Alabama district, he an. nounced.
 General Beach, because of state leg, islatiOn controlling the sale of sea food regards the proposed improvement Oi Bayou ba Batre as local matter, anG for that reason has withheld his in dOrsement of a scheme which has mel the approval of Major North, govern ment engineer at Mobile.
 Asked what his attitude would be if an amendment requiring the govern ment to purchase in the Bayou La Ba tre enterprise, he replied that he would not fight it." The rivers and harborS bill, in course of preparation, will pro- vide principally for surveys looking to future improvements. For that req son, it would be difficult, it is pointed out, to secure the passage of the bill amended so as to carry an apprOpria- tiOn.
 Only in that way, however. it is made certain, can the improvement of Bayou La Batre this session of Con- gress be made possible.

Gas in Old Working Be- lieyed Cause Of
 Disaster

BLUEFIELD, W. Va. March 2S.- Twenty-seven miners lost their lives in an explosion in the number 2 mine of the Yukon-Pocahontas Coal O., at Yukon, early today, according to J. A. Demcherk, ventilation engineer of the coal company who arrived here to- night from the scene of the disaster. Six other men who were in number ? mine at the time of the explosion were rescued.
 The men were killed as they were reaching their places in the mine to be- gin their days work. The miners had entered in two groups. being hauled by a motor car. On the first trip 24 men including the crew of the motor, en- tered and as the crew and eight more miners were making the second trip and had reached a point about 4,OOO feet from the mine entrance the motor car became derailed. While five men were putting the car on the rails the explosion came.
 The other three men who entered on this trip, according to Demcherk, started to walk to their places taking a short cut through some old work ings. Officials and mine inspectors believe the trio encountered a pocket of gas and that their head lamps caus- ed the explosion. The bodies of three men were found several hundred feet back in the old workings.

FLORIDA YOUTH KILLED TRAIN
 ON HH STREET
George Caro- Walking Along l.. & N. Tracks
 With Companions

George Caro-, IT years old, son of Mir. and Mrs. John A. Caro, Garden street, Pensacola, Fla, was hit and in stantly killed by the northbound Louis vile and Nashville passenger train near Avenue F and Seventh street at s 20 o'clock Friday night.
 Young Caro-, with two companions, Willie and Forrest Kimmons, left Pen sacola at 10 30 o'clock Thursday night; according to the story told by the com panions, and had alighted from a train at Spalding Junction a few minutes earlier. The boys said that they were walking up the track toward the busi- ness section when they saw the train coming. They stepped off the track on one side, and thought young Caro- had gone to the other side. When he did not show up after the train had passed, they supposed he had swung onto the train to ride into the city.
 Found In Ditch
 The boys said they walked about three blocks and decided to return and see if by any chance he had been hit They found CaEe ins the ditch near the track with his skull crushed. The boy was dragged to the nearest crossing and a taxi was called. He was rushed to the Hillman, but was dead upon ar irving there.
 At an inquest instituted later in the evening by Coroner Russum the two companions of Caro retold their version of the accident. A verdict of accidental death was rendered.
 The parents of the youth were nOti- fled at their home in Pensacola and the body will be forwarded to. that place early Saturday morning by Johns Un- dertaking company. The companions of Caro on the ill-started trip will re- turn to Pensacola with the body.
