OLDEST BERLIN CHURCH
 IS BEING RENOVATED

BERLIN, March 26 = Tn the course of renovating the "Klos- terkirche," the oldest church of Berlin, the workmen under their ecclesiastical expert, Dr. Steinberg- CT discovered a subterranean tomb filled with 13 skeletons of women that were identified as remains of the 18th century.

DETECTIVE IN
 KRAUSE CASE,
 NEWSPAPERMAN

Frank Lischke, detective in charge of the Krause case, a number of years ago, is now editor of The Oil News at Santa Fe, New Mexico, according to letter received from him by R. L. Bernard. Santa Fe has fine all-round climate and is altogether great place to live, judging from the letter.
 Aside from boosting his present place of abode, MT. Lischke inquir- ed about the totem pole market. Herman Black, the publisher of the Chicago Evening American, as an old-time Alaskan, wants a husky totem pole, six or eight feet tall, to guard his summer home near Chicago, and asked MT. Lischke to find one for him, according to the letter. Robert Simpson, of the Nugget Shop here, has undertaken to furnish MT. Black with a good sized totem pole.

SEATTLE WINS BY
 SMALL MARGIN IN
 TELEGRAPHIC BOWL

The late cable returns telling the score of the Seattle Elks for the Friday games of the three cornered telegraphic match were received today.

JetOish Fighter Comes
 Forth as Champ; Riot
 Starts, Chicago Match

CHICAGO, March 26.-Jackie Fields, Jewish fighter, of Chicago left hooked his way to recognition as the worlds welterweight cham pion last night, decisively defeating Young Jack Thompson, negro of San Francisco in a 10-round battle The match became a championship affair as the result of the action of the National Boxing Association declaring the title held by Joe Dun dee vacated because he failed to defend it.
 Riot Takes Place
 As Fields and Thompson stood toe and toe throwing punches to each other in the eighth round, a thun- derous rumbling sound growing in volume each second, started at the south end of the Coliseum. In a twinkling the crowd of 10000 fans were in an uproar, dashing out of the exits and others storming to- ward the ring.
 Many climbed over the ringsiders and filled the ring.
 The fight stepped until the police and firemen restored order.
 Twelve to IS persons were in- jured and two are reported to have suffered broken legs. Reporters at the ringside lost typewriters and telegraph wires were broke.:.
 A fight between a negro and white spectator, in which gun was drawn, is believed to have started the riot. Spectators fled starting the uproar. A cry swept through the building that the animals be- longing to a circus quartered in the Coliseum Annex had escaped. The crowd was controlled when this proved unfounded.

%HE fight last Thursday night be-
tween Max Schmeling and Pau

as much to d2mpen interest IN
boxing as the Delaney -Maloney
hasco in 1927.
Though Max won decisively, the fight
was as drab and uninteresting for 10
rounds as you could we'll imagine.
Pauline Is now definitely out as
heavyweight contender, but who cares,
as the boy seems to be on G. sort OF
erry-go-round? The Basque was a
woodchopper and is now open Tor

The heavy. eight division certainly
needs good men, and time alone can
produce them. A fellow in this game
needs experience as well as native abil-

Sharkey such an argument last VIM

knocked him out Thursday night. But
Won Porat lacks sufficient fighting in
stinct and aggressiveness to get any

Pauline is done. So are Risko and
Heeney and Maloney. Fellows like An
gus Snyder, who knocked out Johnny
Crosse: Young Buddy Howard, former
amateur champion, whom I will have as
q sparring partner and who acted in a
similar capacity for Pauline, can be
looked to. But they need several years
schooling. In the meantime the class Is
in the doldrums.
Certainly Jack Sharkey's latest fights,
in which he barely nosed out Christner,
and then outpointed Stribling in the

 NEW YORK, April 27-Paris still wins the fivepointed star of the capital on the worlds style map. For speed and thoroughness in distributing the seasons crea- tions among millions of women throughout the country, however, America earns the high distinction.
 No longer does the American wo- man of limited financial resources wait to make her purchases until after the elite trade has been sat- isfied. She finds the latest, au- thentic styles in the salons ready to-wear sections and rice-appeal departments almost simultaneously.
 She does not find the same gar- ment, of course. but she does find what is described by that all-em- bracing term "the seasons mode" "
 Competition, new style-con- sciousness and m a n d have wrought these changes. Women insist on the new styles while they are new and it is only a matter of good business to meet the demand.
 Mass production and m o d ern methods have not taken romance from the business of producing
