MCLARIN EARNS
RIGHT TO MEET
CHAMP IN BOUT.

OLYMPIA ARENA, DETROIT, Nov.
% R.-.Timn1y McLarnin, the baby
faced boy from Los Angeles, earned
the right to challenge Sammy Man
dell fer the worlds lightweight cham
pionship here tonight, winning the
referees decision over Billy Wallace
two-fsted puncher from Cleveland, in
sensational elimination battle of 10
rounds.
McLarl1in, showing no fear of Wal
lace's two fisted attack, met him more
than half way, outslugged him, out
speeded him and sometimes outgen-
eralled him He had such clear
margin at the finish that the referee
had no hsitation in raising his glove.
The eperts at the rngside thought
McLarnn had the shade n two
rounds, while they divided hcnors in
the remaining eight.
McLarnin had a convincing shade
in the rounds he won, forcing Wallace
to break ground and back into the
ropes to escape. Neither scored knock
downs, but McLarnins right eye was
rapidly closing at the finish.
After the battle Wallace's handlers
said the Cleveland boxer sustained q
fractured thumb on his left hand in
the fourth round. M
Disregarding this injury, Wallace
fought back gamely, keeping McLar-
min out of range with lefts to- the
face and dropping in right crosses to
the chin. McLarnin scored effec
lively with rights-alWays keeping this
weapon cooked to whip over a finish
punch Wallace, however, absorbed the
blows without following up, although,
at one time, he caught five of them
without a return.
The ninth and tenth rounds we're
thrillers, with each trying for
knockout, both standing toe to toe in
the center of the ring.

1914 VALUATIONS
OF RAILROADS
Is AT ACKED

WASHINGTON Nov. % R-Rail-
road valuation principles which the
interstate commerce commission is
seeking to adopt for all the railroads
of the country were attacked as ser
roneouS" in briefs made public here
today, and which already have been
filed in the st. Louis federal district
court where the case testing out the
governments procedure is pending.
On December 10, the st. Louis and
O'Fallon railroad has been ordered by
the commerce commission to pay the
government $226,880 in alleged excess
earnings, and the appeal of the road,
a small carrier owned by the Busch
interests, to the courts to void the COM
missions order, as the government and
railroad briefs explain, is being fol-
lowed by al lof the major roads in the
United States.
Excess earnings on the scale laid
down by the commission for the
O'Fallon company will be demanded
from all the other prosperous rail-
roads in the country If the government
wins the suit. The total amount which
the government may collect has been
estimated at the commerce commission
as $4O0, ,0O0, 600, but the O'F'alIon brief,
prepared for railroads concerned by
Cravatf, Henderson and Degersdorf of
New York City, asked the court to view
the issue as mot an academic con-
troversy upon economic principles, but
a law suit in equity"
"The interstate commerce commits
sion has made an erroneous and in
adequate finding of the value of the
tO'Fallon) property" the brief pro-
ceeded. ''It has failed to give due and
effective weight to the enhanced cost

of construction as applied to all the
property of the. carrier in existence
prior to 1914, but has based its find
ings OF the value thereof Non 1914
prices. The commission has failed to
follow the law of the land"
Railroad income recapturable by the
government as excessive can only be
determined after the commerce COM
mission has valued each property sep
arately thus laying a base upon which
returns can be figured The law pro-
vides that the railroads may retain
an income amounting to 6 per cent
upon the valuation found, but that
they must pay over to the government
one-half of the excess above per
cent. Walter L. Fisher, special counsel
for the commission, suggested in his
brief that the valuation sought by the
railroads on the basis of cost OF re-
production and other factors, would
result in a. general rate increase OF
perhaps 18 per cent.
In addition to questioning the COM
missions general principles, the rail-
road, brief took cognizance of several
matters indirectly affecting the con-
troverSy. 1t was declared that the
transportation act, in addition to pro-
viding for recapture of excess earn
ings, also directed the commission to
fix rates high enough for railroads
generally to make fair return. This
fair return had not been earned, the
brief contended, citing the collective
earnings. of eastern railroads for sew
eral years.
Since the transportation act had not
been complied with in its provisions
protective of railroads. it was declared,
the government could not now justly
demand that individual roads which
happened tohave high earnings could
be forced to give up some OF their
money. Further, the commissions
position in seeking to charge interest
on the immense sums regarded as ex-
cess earnings, for periods dating back
to 1921, when roads first became liable
for payments, was asserted to be ur-
lawful
! Concluding, the brief asked the
court to cancel the commissions re-
capture orders, and allow the O'Fallon
to retain its earnings in full.

SEMINOLE FIELD
INCREASES ITS
OIL PRODUCTION

SHAWNEE, Okla, Aug. 13 tR-ln-
creasing 1887 barrels today, the Semi
mole oil field with SOB ,231 barrels for
a single day again approached its peak
525 $40 barrels, despite plan for cur
tailnaent adopted by operators and
approved by the state corporation
commission this week, guage figures
available to the Shawnee News showed
tonight
The increase all came from the
Bowlegs area jumped from 167,224 bar
rels today to 155 1854 barrels, an in
crease of 1910 barrels, although only
one small we'll was completed there.
The situation was credited to the
fact that the Seminole oil field UNI
pire, Ray M Collins, who has been
arranging a program for probation of
a decrease to 100000 barrels, for the
entire Seminole pool, has been seek
ing the potential output of the leases.
He has planned to base q ten day ten
per cent reduction on it.
The corporation commission, in APP
proving the operators deduction plan
expressed belief that curtailment was
in the interest of conservation.
The commission granted to Collins
and others a temporary restraining
order on July % OF prevent operators
from drilling wells in, certain parts of
the field and from shooting wells to
increase their production in the en-
tire area. Production figures, how
ever, did not respond. They mounted
steadily, despite the order, while Col
Inns and the operators prepared their
new plan for an agreement TO prorate
a reduction among producers.
Collins held at the time that unless
steps were taken to curtail the out
pouring of oil which has diluted the
oil market, production in the greater
Seminole pool would reach 100000
barrels and the price WOULD decline 25
to SO cents barrel by October /.

irish Surn0mes Rank

1t will be news to many people that
Irish surnames are the oldest in Eu-
rope except the Venetian, and more
over not a single one Of the great Irish
family names is taken from any trade
or occupatiOn-every one is derived
from some noted ancestor, usually a
prince or military commander. Things
Howard, the family name Of the dukes
of Norfolk, Is derived from HOg-ward,
or guardian of pigs. English sur
names. moreover, are extremely re-
cent. There Is, for example, not a
single English surname that goes back
beyond the Eleventh century, and the
oldest surnames are not English but
Norman-French. On the other hand,
In Ireland there is not a single sur
name In Ia or o which does not 60
back to the Eleventh century or be-
You'd it. Surnames in Mac are more
recent. o or Ia means grandson"
NJ means granddaughter; Mac
means "son."
I believe there Is not a single Irish
name that has not been changed In
its translation from Gaelic into Eng
llsh-the English form usually repre-
sents the pronunciation Of the his
toric Irish form. In Leinster, how
ever, where the English first estab-

compelled by law, translation being
the process usually adopted.-FrOm a

the pink tourmallnes have a Gaping

have all these and many other exqui-
