NO BLAME ATTACHED FOR BOXERS DEATH

All testimony in the inquest over the death of Horace Aliff's death showed that nothing took place dur ing the Bridgeport fight to lead spectators to accept conclusion that he died from effects of a blow. The facts are simple: The fight had gone three rounds when Aliff, going to his corner, seemed in fair shape: at least, he made no complaint to his seconds, The judges. disagreeing over the fight verdict. then called for a fourth round. When the bell rang for the fourth round Aliff was unable to rise and subsequently, died.
 Thus came the first known fatality in the history of amateur boxing in Connecticut. It was certain that no one and no organization could be blamed for a death under such cir- cumstances. There is certain hazard, sometimes small and some times considerable, incident to all boxing bouts, just as there is to foot ball or other athletic sports. Persons have been known to engage in all these sports and suffer injuries, occasionally with a fatal termination.
 More professional than amateur boxers have met with such disasters in the ring. the last fatality in Con- necticut having been the young Frenchman who was taken from the ring in Hartford to St. Francis hos pitai and died there shortly after wards.
 State supervision Of amateur box ing is not the cure for fatal injuries in the ring, irrespective whether such supervision is of itself desirable or not. When a fighter dies from in- juries received in the ring it may be laid down to an accident. Amateur boxers must first have the consent of their parents before they can enter the ring; then they must be thor oughly examined by physician, who must make a detailed report of his physical condition. Referees throughout Connecticut have been known to stop bouts when it appear ed boxer was in danger of being injured. There can bo no question that the rules are rigid and are strictly enforced. But accidents, due to a variety of reasons. may occur and always will. A boxer was known to enter the ring in perfect physical condition and then the verdict was he came to his death from overexert- ing the heart. So long as athletic sports make hard demands upon the vital organ-and boxing perhaps more so than any sport except long distance running such unfortunate results are bound to occur. But they are rare indeed, compared with the large number Of  athletics.

THE PRIMARIES

Scarcely q ripple on the undisturb- ed surface of the political pond will be raised by the primaries. which wound up last evening. They were provocative of a little interest. in that unattached candidates. particularly in the First ward, were out for fame and glery, or such fame and glory as may be attained by occupying chairs in the Common Council and speaking much as the familiar little dummy of the ventriloquist speaks Those candidates were selected to the back seat of the political band wagon and denied the dubious privi- leges to which they had the temerity to aspire.
 In th. First F. W. Huber and Roger W. Whitman were the vietors in five sided race for council nomi- nations. X poor third was Council man Gibney. It is not necessary to seek far for q reason for his de- feat. He has had the temerity to be more or less independent in his thinking while in the council. In independence lies oblivion here abouts. It is not difficult to imagine that Whitman and Huber will "listen 10 reason not on the council floor. that is q poor place to reason, but about the pitch table or elsewhere where pure reason runs were nominated.

 Concerning conditions and plans for the Ford company, Mir. Ford said:
 II do not think we will have any additional equipment for our plants in the near future outside of what already has been published. do not plan to purchase any new indus tries or purchase any more motor car companies in the near future My hands are pretty full. Our pro- duction now is somewhere between 1,6o0 and HOO daily and without |. doubt by the first of July our pro- duction will be up to at least 5000 cars day.
 We do not plan to manufacture planes on q great scale in the inn mediate future and our advertising in the interest Of aviation has been more or less visionary work"
 Passage had been booked under the name of MT. and Mrs. J. Rob- inson." and the greatest secrecy had cioaked all Ford's movements since his arrival in New York yesterday.
 MT. and Mrs. Ford boarded the ship by a private gangway to d lower deck, accompanied by their son Edsel and his wife, who left the ship shortly after 1 o'clock when their parents retired for the night.
 The Ford party rushed past re- porters and into the private elevator which carried them to the upper deck on which their suite was locat- ed. Later, however, Mir. Ford grant, ed short interview.
 The Fords had come directly from the theater where they had seen Florenz Ziegfeld's musical comedy Show Boat"
 Tell Ziegfeld I enjoyed it very much. A very good show," said Mir Ford.
 Mrs. Ford was in evening dress and wore 3 fur wrap. MT. Ford was dressed in a gray suit and dark top coat. He wore q flower figured shirt. dark necktie and dark tan shoes.
 The Fords arrived yesterday on the Wolverine from Detroit. Their private car was shunted to the bag gage track and they entered limousine, which waited for them with curtains drawn in the freight elevator.
 Ar. Ford said he and Mrs. Ford expected to return on the Majestic May !.

Improvement of the condition of some of the streets in the fifth ward is a topic of wide discussion among the inhabitants of that section. AL though the condition of the streets in general is fair. they could stand some treatment" and there would not be 70 nlany complaints from ve- hicle drivers, as we'll as from the residents.
 The streets needing most attention are those lying north of Broad street, among them Washington street, which according to many res ,dents on that thoroughfare, not only needs repairs, but as . street leading into one of the main roads outside the city, could stand some widening. Osgood avenue will undergo com- plete overhaultng within the next year or 50. Streets running off Os- good avenue are, in the opinion of the residents, in | lamentable condt- tion and need immediate attention. The streets in ssme places are im- possible to drive through in q car.
 These sections are thickly popu- lated and new homes are being built rapidly. It is therefore necessary that these streets undergo some im- proving. Beaver street is not as much traversed by motor vehicles, yet in places it is delapidated. Side walks on this street as we'll as on Washington street and Pennington avenue need attention and if some- thing isn't done soon. they will grow to be a sorry sight to the passerby. Lighting on most streets is good. but . few lamps here and there would not be amiss. Questions pertaining to these Improvements will undoubt- edly be fired at candidates to the common council end unless they can return an argument in a convincing way, their election cannot be guar nnfeed
