CHAMPIONS TO FACE
IN RING CLASH HERE

More than one international angle
figures in the Tommy Noble Honey
Boy Finnegan match that serves as
the headline attraction on the pro-
gram of the National Capital Sport
ing Club at the Washington Audi
torium next Monday night.
To prove his claims to the British
title, Noble wears the Lord Lonsdale
girdle, while Finnegan, on the other
hand, is not only the recognized
champion of the Army and Navy, with
four gold belts to back up his claims,
but is also featherweig;ht champion
of South America, having beaten
Jose Iombardo at Panama.

they will all die. whereas IL the herd

All of which proves that it is pos
sible to be too jealous in protecting
game animals. The enemies of the

rapidly that the ksilbab would not sup

The Kaibab plateau and forest is a

the deer could not get away from 1t.
SO they had to stay there and starve.
Wherever animals are protected, pro-
vision should be made for an over

done, thus providing sport and al the
same time promoting the welfare of

POSTAL CLERKS IN TROUBLE

The following from the Washing
ton Star. concerns two former Shen-
andoah County residents:
Police and postal authorities prob
ably established a record for the
speedy disposal of major case in
Washington Thursday when K. E.
Dellinger, of 627 Morris Street N. E.
and A. B. Coffman, of Alexandria,
Va, pleaded guilty to thefts from
the United States mail totaling APP
proximately $4,000 at a hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner
Needham c. Turnage. They were
held under $4,000 bond each for ac-
ton of the grand jury.
Wednesday, Detective Howard
Vermillion of police headquarters
was sent to Baltimore in response
to call from that city's police de-
partment regarding suspicious in
diyidual being held there after an
attempt to pawn watch.
Vermillion took up the investiga-
tion there, took the suspect, Dellin-
ger, into custody and sent back word
as to the residence of the suspect in
Washington. Detective Cullinane
visited the house and discovered a
large amount of ties, items of jew
elry and wearing apparel there.
By the time Vermillion returned
with Delinger, the latter had con-
fessed, duplicating Coffman. Coff-
man was arrested at his home in
Rosemont, an outlying suburb of
Alexandria, Va, and Thursday
morning the case was brought up
before the United States Commits
sioner
Both are alleged to have made
confessions which admitted looting
parcels in post transit while at their
work in distributing the mailed items
for transportation on various out
bound trains.
Unofficial valuation placed by the
police on the articles alleged to have
been stolen by Dellinger is approx
mately $4,000, while $4,000 was set
as the figure in the case against
Coffman.
Much of the property has nothing
by which it may be identified. The
Post Office Department will await
complaints in such cases from per-
sons who forwarded the parcels, and
Will check up, as far as possible, on
the unknown property, but a large
amount of it is expected to find its
way ultimately to the dead letter Of
flee, not going into utilitarian chan
nels until after the next regular dead
letter sale.
p Dellinger is not married. Coffman
has a wife and four children.
