SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. s. U.P)---
Abandoned by Madison Square Gar
den, Joe Jacobs said today he would
claim the heavyweight champion
ship for Max Schmeling and prob
ably would arrange with Jack
Dempsey for a Mexican appearance
fer the German fighter.
Dempsey told me over long dis
tance last night he would promote
4 fight at Aqua Caliente, Mexico,
next Thanksgiving day." Jacobs
said, "Schmeling would be one of
the principals unless Carey per-
sonally handles bout at Detroit. -
The possibility of w. f. Carey
handling a Schmeling bout in De
.roit for Madison Square Garden
ended with Carey s announcement
IN New York that he had matched
Jack Sharkey and Tommy Loughran
for a bout at Yankee Stadium next
month. Jacobs reference to the De
troit bout, which Carey had planned
until he found Jacobs negotiating
for the Dempsey booking. seemed,
therefore, to be beside the point.

REFEREE Will
HAVE TO WORK
FRIDAY NIGHT

The third man in the ring at the
Imperial Valley Athletic club to-
morrow night is going to have plen-
ty of work, particularly in the semi
final, which brings together a husky
Mexican heavyweight who talks lit
tie or no English and another big
boy who can not talk at all.
Tony Cantu is the Mexican and
" Dummy MeDaniels is the mute
Tony comes from Mexico City,
where he has hung up II knockouts
in II fights, while Dummy is
from New Orleans, where they spend
their time dancing on the levee and
enjoying street car strikes.
IL Bill Tackett works as third
man, he is big enough to pry the
boys apart when they get tangled
up. Cap Stevens, somewhat smaller
than Bill, but still husky enough,
will possibly resort to kicking the
fighters in the shins if he is called
upon to work.
The poor referee should draw
some sympathy, for when he gets
through pulling and tugging with
the Mexican and the deaf and dumb
boy, he faces the task of seeing that
Willie Henry and Dewey Massey
abide by the athletic commission 5
rules while they are in the ring.
Willie and Dewey are built along
Tackett lines, and if the fight goes
10 rounds-which is hardly likely
the referee will need no one to rock
him to sleep. Ii Bill Taekett works,
the club directors will probably
need a new ring next week, after
40 tons of beef get through dancing
on it,
/ It's not going to be any picnic
+ for the referee IN the semi final.
/ Andy Armstrong and Battling

provide Il good warm-up for the
work that is to be done in the tive
I following fights.
! The only place the referee is go
ing 10 have il easy is in the curtain

/ city and Lorenzo REYES of Calexico
! The boys weight l26, and while il
viii not be hard to pry them apart
they move 50 fast that the referee
will think he is at a dance.
BY and large il looks like tough
night for the referee as well as for
the fighters, the spectators being
the only ones WHO appear TO be il

CITY MAPS

Being dissatisfied with the com mercial city maps probably comes natural. especially when . city shows . disposition to be a few laps ahead of each issue Of said maps. And this Is not 70 easy, either, when the maps rarely change.
 The main trouble with city maps is that they are not comprehensive enough. Invariably they do not in- 'elude the suburbs confining them- .selves to the city proper; but they sare deficient in another important sparticular-new streets take a long .time to find recognition upon these .maps.
 The publishers of the city maps of .eourse, are doing so for profit. The splatss are made. and when it is necessary to print further supply ..of maps for the various cities served sthe easiest way is to run the plates through the printing press for an- .ether run. If new streets are not on the maps that is regarded as just one of those things that cannot be shelped.

DEBENTURE ADvENTU RE

Senator William E. Borah, who during the recent campaign was one Of the spellbinding radio aces who made speeches in behalf of MT. Hoover, turned out to be one of the n Republicans in the Senate who voted for the debenture plan Of farm relief. which President Hoover eppooss with unstinting vigor. Which again proves there is no telling how long Borah will support anyone even after making speeches on his behalf.
 The present Congress, called in special session to accomplish farm relief and tinker with the tariff. is turning into . beautiful exhibition of log rolling. The defeat of Hoover in tho Senate on the debenture is- sue means that mutual concessions' will have to be made between the farm bloc and the industrial bloc be. fore m agreement on either farm re- lief or tariff tinkering is possible.

At the Dum-Dum foundry. hollow- nosed bullets were manufactured for use in East India frontier lighting, owing to the failure of the usual type of bullets to stop the rushes of fanatical tribesmen.

It has nothing to do with the Apache Indians of North America.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEEDED

HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEEDED
 Compared with the age Of some of it's neishbors, New Britain is a com paratively young city. We got started after some of our neighbors were quite Of age. We surpassed most of them because the people who settled here took 10 manufacturing things for which there was a wide Il. .rket.
 But New Britain has reached the point where the details of its early history. photographs Of it's early buildings and streets. mementoes of it's early settlers. need to be collect ed and guarded for the edification of posterity.
 The New Britain Institute so far has proved to be valuable adjunct to the historical spirit. Whatever of moment hss seen publication regard ing this city. including old books and old pictures. are on file in the library. That is splendid public service.
 Everything of vital importance concerning New Britain's early his- tory and the part played by it's lead ing citizens. however. is not being
 afeguarded in this manner. This task requires painstaking research and probably considerable effort. In most communities where such work is done it is under the aegis of an historical society. consisting of pride full citizens who are jealous guard ians of the history of the community. who search into the recesses of for gotten lore. who hold regular meet ings and who place their data and findings at the disposal Of a srate- full citizenship.
 There are citizens still living in the city whose remembrances Of the early history Of New Britain would be an invaluable contribution to such record. They usually are pleased 10 speak of the carly town and early city: some Of them were identified with it's early history in an ofliciai or

TINkERlNG WITH RAIL RATES

The effort under way by railroads to change the freight rate structure in their favor. tending to place 1t more in conformity with a mileage basis. naturally alarms industrial New England. It is not likely, how ever. that much will come of the effort. The railroads are always try- ing to raise the rates, and all the good it does in most instances is another order by the Interstate Con- merce Commission to retain them pretty much as they are.
 Rates based upon . mileage basis would decentralize industry. This process is contrary to the tenets of mass production in one plant for distribution throughout the country. 1T industry were decentralized through the operation of hish rail- road rates on a mileage basis higher costs to the consumer inevitably would result.
 Recently the eastern railroads re- duced grain rates to the seaboard in order to stimulate the export of the grain surplus. This was in the inter- est Of national well being. Now, it seems, the railroads want to shake down eastern industries because the latter are prospering.
 To tinker with the rates is nearly as bad as tinkering with the tariff.

AN CNSIGHTLY POLE

One of those anachronisms which stand in the way of perfect civic beauty comes to light on the Russell street side of the new Masonic Temple. Here is building of such exquisite architectural beauty that all citizens can point to it with that pride which comes from the pos session of eduring works of art in stone. But on the Russell street side. near the corner, is an ugly telephone pole. The pole would not look 50 ugly if the surroundings were not so beautiful: it detracts greatly from the appearance of the new building.
 The Masons and their affiliated or ganizations should see to it that the pole is removed at the earliest pos sible time.

GAS TAX INCOME

The all-conquering gasoline tax having won its victory in IS of the 4s states. it is an interesting mental exercise to contemplate the victory.
 The first gasoline tax was inflicted in Oregon in 1913. and the tax was one cent q gallon. Connecticut did not lead in this universal infliction. but was adutiful follower. The 9aso- line tax in NutmeSia also began with the one cent figure. as 1t did in some other state; but 1t did not stay there-aA also was the history in other states. There is no guarantee, indeed, that 1t will remain at two cents. The tax is so easy to apply and brings such handsome returns that the gentlemen of the Legisla- lures believe in it heartily. Nothing ever invented brings in the coin in such handsome quantities.
 By 1921 the revenues of all the states possessing gasoline taxes at that time was snly 5000, ,000. Four years later, by 1925, the total revenue of All the states from this source had reached s15o,0oo. 900. Still going up. the total revenues last year reached $500. 100000. With such important states as New York, Illinois and Massachusetts jumping on the gas tax band wagon this year one can guess how the income will jump from this source before the year is out; and it will be much more next year. as the tax in Illinois doesn't begin until August, and the infliction is also delayed in Massa chusstts. By 1880 the states incomes from this tax no doubt will reach $500, ,000, 900 year.
 Possibilities are endless. All states do not utilize the gasoline tax for road-building purposes, preferrinx to use part of it for education and other purposes. Legislatures in most of the states have the power to order the money used as they see fit, As the stream of gold continues to in- crease and roll in it is possible that legislators may conclude that road building does not require all that money. Some states, as before noted already have adopted this idea; and as usual. others may follow.

AGAIN ALANDMARK PASSES

Removal of the old Cooley home on West Main street, adjoining the Baptist church. is proceeding swift ly. Soon the last vestige Of the rows of residences that extended along this side of the street quite to the junction of Main street will be a memory.
 It is difficult, perhaps, for the newer generation to realize that this portion of West Main street once was as thoroughly residential as the street now is further west Some of the foremost families of the city in those days lived in this vicinity. One by one they departed. and year by year the houses departed also. Up to few years ago other relics of bygone residential splendor remain- ed in the block; but for several years now the Cooley mansion was alone as a reminder of past glories. Now that too goes the way of the others.
 In the wake of the disappeared old time residences inevitably come business structures, built in the most modern manner. designed to &C., commodate the commercial needs of the growing city. That is what is termed progress; it is what We are justified in welcoming with satisfac- tion. If there is sentiment that at taches itself to the old buildings it goes down in the dust with their demOlishment.
