JOHNNY MCCOY
IS new CHAMP

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. Oct. 29.-tP)
Johnny Mccoy, veteran FL Paso,
Texas, boxer. was acknowledged as
the worlds flyweight champion to-
day-in California. In a rather tame
ten-round match here last night the
cagey midget won the right TO claim
the crown which Fidel Labarha aban-
doned last spring, by beating Johnny
Hughes Of Cleveland.
Whether the title awarded to Nc
Coy by the California Athletic Com
mission will hold water in eastern
boxing circles remains 70 be seen,
but the concensus among local sport
scribes was that Mccoy had emerged
from a field fairly representiye Of
the country's fl%yweights.
Johnny Mccoy. who Friday might
won the title Of world champion
flyweight boxer, has been seen in
action in Brownsville, and by many
Valley fans who have gone to San
Antonio to see boxing bouts.

 Among the score of cases handl- ed by United States Commissioner J. w.

 Simpson and Burton were arrest ed last night by Deputy Marshal o. B. Kuckenbecker and Prohibition Officer Fred Handy on Thomas Dock, where they maintained an "open house" liquor store, accord ing to officers.

 CAUSE OF DEPLETION.
 The cause of depletion of the salmon fisheries of Alaska is THE TRAP.
 The industry has blinded itself to the fact, nevertheless it remains as prominent as the proboscis on the face of some, if not all of the cannerymen. Prior to the closing of the Icy Straits district there was no escapement of salmon to the bays in Frederick Sound. The Icy Straits district has been closed but few days and now fishermen point to the fact that Windham, Hobart Bays. Port Houghten and Seymour Canal have plenty of fish. There is no denying, the more fences and pots blocking the passage of the salmon the less going to the spawn ing grounds.
 Such facts are the result of the definite observation of men who make their living by studing the travel and habit of the salmon They cannot be evaded or denied in any way. Destruction is due to the intensive fishing of the TRAP SYSTEM.
 What other reason can be set forth by the industry that will be anything like ogical?-Alaskan

Eclectics Score Point
Counsel for the eclectics won
tentative victory today in the second
attempt OF Attorney Carpenter to
introduce a copy Of the decision and
judgment OF the Missouri supreme
court in 1926 invalidating the char
ter OF the Kansas City College of
Medicine and Surgery.
After extended objection by At
torney Philip Pond of New Haven
on the ground that the copy was not
properly identified, Judge Earnest C.
Simpson said that an eXemplitied
copy was wanted. Decision was tenn
porarily withheld. on request of
Carpenter, on the admissibility of
the copy. A copy of the decision
and Judgment invalidating the char
ter of the st. Louis college was not
offered at the time.
Copies Of these decisions We're
ruled out by Judge Simpson earlier
in the hearing because of lack OF
proper authorization. Those Of
tered today were different ones, pro-
cured since that time, intended to
correct the previous fault. and

During the time he was connect
ed with the Kansas City university
of Physicians and Surgeons DR.. Nc
Cubbin said the institution had hos
pital connections and gave practical
work in eclectics along with theory.
He stated his belief that the insti-

ton of the Missouri medical instltu-

cation the Kansas City university
did not have hospital connection.

in the course of cross examination
by Atty. Pond, counsel for Samuel

DR.. McCubbin had some difficulty
under cross examination by Atty,
Nicholson of Bridgeport, in deter
mining whether it was the Kansas
City College of Medicine and Surgery
or the Kansas City University of
Physicians and Surgeons in which
he taught in 1918. He was certain
that 1t was the one which taught

the one owned and operated by DR..
