/ had the pleasure, Sunday of visit
ing Nogales, Sonora and witnessing
the pugilistic events promoted at that
place. I have heard considerable COM
ment upon the results of the different
contests and am sorry to- say 1 have
heard quite a chorus of frame up
and fake relative to the Johnson
Lester fistic event.
l do not consider myself an authori-
ty Oh matters of this kind, but COM
mon sense tells me that il there had
had been any frame-up, Lester most
assuredly would have won the fight.
[ am an ardent admErer of Lester, hav-
ing known him for long time He
is a clean living youth and supports a
mother through his effort in the
squared circle, and l do not believe,
Knowing him as L do that he would
be party to any crooked deal.
With all due respect for capability
as a fighter I can only say that he
was simply outclassed by the famous
old gladiator, Johnson. johnson, for
man of his ago (4S) proved himself,
still to be wonderful ring master,
and, Sunday, he fought, to my belief,
to the best of his ability and his
science in the ring, should have sent
the fans away we'll pleased with hav-
ing witnessed a real tighten in action.
While writing this epistle, I would
like to call the attention of you Doug
las sportsmen that you have a real
fighter right here in Douglas, and it
is my belief that he (Freddy .Cello)
put up the best scrap of the day. He
licked man who, to my personal
knowledge, has downed some of the
best, and who is still in his prime,
Mike Doyle of Phoenix, and l am
saying. that when Cello, giving Doyle
many pounds in weight and fighting
an offensive battle throughout the
event, never giving his opponent a
chance to lead, and winning the de-
cision by wide margiL, it behooves
some Douglas sportsman to get behind
him and boost because just as sure
as he has the chance, he will produce,
because watching him one cannot help
being impressed with his style of
fighting. He has the heart of a fight
er and with the right kind of handling
he is sure to come to the front. In
cider tally L might say, yesterday was
the first time l ever saw the boy, but
i was so favorably impressed with his
clean battle that 1 thought 1 would
like to give him a little boost.

AUTO CLUB OF
ARIZONA WANTS
OFFICE in CITY


If Douglas autoists are ready and
willing to have an office of the
Automobile Club of Arizona estab-
lished here, for what is to be known
as the Douglas district, their wish
will be granted, according to w. M.
Harrison, division superintendent of
| that organization who has arrived in
this section to look over the field.
Harrison is accompanied by S. W..
Lewis who is to assist him and
who is a representative of the A. A.
A. Both these men believe that
! Douglas needs and is anxious to have
a permanent office of the club es-
tablished here, with the aim of rem
dering vital serHice to motorists of
the Douglas secrlon of the state and
of the entire nation.
1t will be necessary for autoists in
this Douglas divisioion, however, to
express their desire for the placing
of a permanent office in this city
before Harrison will feel justified in
moving ahead with the deal. At least
| 200 members Tor the club in the
Douglas section will be required to
warrant the office here as is planned
and both Harrison and Lewis who
are to spend some time looking over
the field are confident that they
will receive the necessary response
as regards members.
Bisbee, Yuma, Tucson and Phoenix,
where headquarters of the club are
maintained have all expressed their
desire for offices and Douglas, the
xyicif iY,0~ 4,f Cfo fo
should also see the need and the
! advantage of such an office. Some
prominent local citizen will be placed
in charge of the Douglas division
when it is started and will devote
considerable time to it's work ana
enter the office to make it a per-
manent thing. 1t is the idea of the
club through such an office as it's
planned, not only to advertise Ari-
zona through the tourist travel, but
to show the tourist that Arizona is
a spot which all should visit and
where all will be given courteous
attention and information.
The local office would thus act
! to boost the state as a whole and
| the city of Douglas in particular
| Among other things it will prin-
cipally be a clearing house for road
| information, will offer the traveller
plenty of maps, answer wires and
letters about the highways or the
state and in every way aid the tour
list in his travels in Arizona and
through the Douglas section. The
Arizona Automobile club is recog-
nized as a national organization and
works closely with auto clubs
! throughout the country
| Harrison wants Douglas folks to
know, however, that the office as
planned here would act as simply a
directory and not as an agency to
bring folks to this section as is
done, by the chambers of commerce
and other clubs. Much signing of
roads is needed in Cochise county
and this can be attended to by the
/ division office as figured on for this
city, Harrison states.
Free towing service, free legal
advice and free information as to
routing tourists would all be offered
by the office here and locations are
now being considered. Harrison and
Lewis will look the ground over
| thoroughly and are confident of meet
ing with generous response to their
plans.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
MIR. BYRON


When Mr.. Byron loved and sang
Cat times that he could spare from
folly)
Most tunefully his lyrics rang
When he was prey to melancholy.
He prosed when he was feeling gay,
But rose to realms of high endeavor
When he was working on some lay
Which ended with: Farewell For
ever
In peEning paeans of delight
The flower of his muse was wilted
But how the bitter bard could write
When he was scorned or spurned or
Tilted!
! He wrote his liveliest measures then
And made 'em terse and sharp and
snappy,
And though the tears dripped from
his pen
His phrases were extremely happy
+
We can't approve his private life,
Which was, to put it mildly, shady
But when he parted from his wife
Or any other lovely lady,
Or even when he found it wise
To leave an outraged angry nation
His rhyming sobs and metric sighs,
Compel our heartfelt admiration.
!
His vogue passed many years ago;
Today few readers mark or note him
And only once a year or so
One hears the literati quote him
But ah, his lines possess a thrill,
And how he must have loved to
pen 'em.
love to read the fellow still;
He said farewell with so much
venom!

SPECIAL GUARD ORDERED.
England Takes Elaborate Precautions
to Protect Spanish Royalty.

LONDON, July R.-Extraordi-
aary police protection has been thrown
about King Alfonso OF Spain for the
duration of his fortnight'S visit to
England in consequence of the dis
covery of a plot in France to assassi
nate him.
In addition to Che Spanish police
agents who always travel with the
monarch, special Scotland Yard Off
GERS have been assigned to guard him.
The precautions taken are unusual
compared with the protection general.
~ accorded royal visitors.
The. guards have prepared a scheme
of "unobtrusive protection" which
officers say will insure Alfonso's com
plete safety.
Close communication is also being
maintained between Scotland Yard
and the French police who dealt with
the discovery of the plot, and efforts
ments of three men who avoided ar
fed that the plotters have not arrived
in England.
One of the greatest difficulties en-
countered in protecting Alfonso Is his
own disregard of danger. He Is well
aware of the activities Of the terror
lists in Spain, but takes all sorts of
chances in public, particularly while
abroad.
Scotland Yard, however. is detern1in.
ed to stick to him day and night to
avoid the possibility Of any untoward
incident while he is on British soil.

duction the public debt was cut down
to $19,643. 2l6,315. a reduction for the
year of $S12 .91..j. The larger part
of this cut was made possible by the
use OF S4S7.316, $50 from the sinking

This margin. although below the
estimate of $500. 900 900. recently
