Round Six


Jack bounced out and missed half
dozen shots at Stribling's weav-
ing body. As he missed another
long lash the Georgian lifted a left
to Jacks chin. StribIing's speed and
strength in his lean arms bothered
Sharkey but he danced close and
drew blood from the southerner's
nose with short lefts. Again they
were warned as Sharkey bowed into
Stribling's body with punches that
sometimes shaded the belt line.
Stribling bounced his left into Jacks
face but ran into two listed storm
as the furious sailor retaIiated with
a charge that drove Stribling around
the ring. The bell ended the rally.
Round Seven
The fight was anything but sensa-
tional as the boxers measured each
other carefully and either boxed
lightly at a distance or rappled at
close quarters. Stribling threw an
other long right into Sharkey's chin
but drew the referees censure again
from left hook that seemed to
have landed fairly on Sharkey's
body. They opened up for mo-
mcnt with a brisk exchange. but
Stribling had Sharkcy missing con-
stantly and he blocked many OF the
Boston boys hes, blows. as a storm
OF boos began 10 drift down to the
ring from the five dollar seats.

 Assuming the air of an injured martyr who must bear the sins of the world on his shoulders, the boy stood still while Officer Iellberg systematically went through his pockets. removing everything of value, including his belt and neck tie. On the double he was marched to the cells so that his appearance in police court today would be as- sured.
 Officer Rapponoti sighed and shrugged his shoulders as he left the station house. After all, he would have to get up to come to court to- day.

A program of Identification is to be inaugurated at Washington school park with the planting of num- Der of shade trees. It is hoped to create picnic grove to attract mothers and small children in the district.

 Alderman Peter J. Pajewski has conferred with city departments and has received assurance that the work will not be delayed any longer.

POLICE ICE CREAM
 PARTY BROKEN UP
Brief Interlude in Quiet Night
 Caused by Boy Gang

It looked like a quiet night at the police station. Fans were going Nothing disturbed the silence but their hum and the rattle as a ma chine recorded numbers when the patrolmen on the beat rang in.
 At one corner of the desk Mike Brophy distributed paper plates soon to be filled with ice cream. It was just quiet night. Then Officer Rap ponoti drove up in a commandeered car and unloaded four youngsters.
 There was nothing much to the story. They had been picked up just as they were leaving the Main street entrance of Walnut Hill park. Off cer Rapponoti had followed them from the monument where he had heard them saying many things which youngsters should not say That was all. He was bringing them in to be reprimanded. He did not want them to be arrested. If they were arrested he would have to ap- pear in court in the morning.
 His name does not matter, the leader of the gang. He claimed that they had never been at the monu- ment and that the officer was vast ing his time when he took him to the station house. At the desk, when he was being questioned by Lieutenant Bamforth. his attitude did not change. He still regarded it as huge joke in which the last laugh would be on the gendarmes.
 The lieutenant started to take their names. But the lad-he admit ted he was 1S-did not want to give his name. What were the police go- ing to do with the names. He did not believe that it was fair. Very patiently the lieutenant explained

PlatGbure Probe HdE While
 Coroner Looks Up Statute

Plattsburg. June 25 R}-Clinton county's investigation into the shoot ing of Arthur Gordon, alleged liquor
 runner, and the relationship of the incideDt to two border patrolmen, again marked time today while county authorities sought to learn whether federal officers could re- fuse to give testimony at a coroner's | inquest.
 Customs Men Balk
 District Attorney E. Loyal OCon- nell and Coroner Charles D. Req re- cessed the coroner's investigation within a few hours of it's inception yesterday when they were confront ed with the refusal of two customs officers to testify on the grounds it might incriminate them and after John c. Tulloch, customs collector of Ogdensburg, said he thought" 8 report on the shooting had been made to him, but that he could not produce it inasmuch as he had for warded it to Washington.
 Tulloch also declined to testify concerning his conversations with a special agent relative to the shoot ing, but was overruled in this stand by the coroner. He then repeated his earlier statement as a represen- tation of the report made to him by the special agent saying that Cor don was shot accidentally while att tempting to escape from border Pa trolmen W. J. Cheatham and F. l.. Coveney after they had ordered him to stop near the village of Mooers early in the morning of June IS. The shot struck Gordon, Tulloch re- peated, when a gun carried by Cheatham was discharged as the of- ficer fell.

Day Joins Harry Sinclair In Jail
 To Begin Four Month Term For
 Jury Shadowing Activity In Trial
Approaches Prison as Casually as Though Going to
 Business Appointment = Unashamed, He Tells Reporters-Feels Himself Innocent.

Washington. June 24 (UP)-The District of Columbia jail houses two of the worlds most famous oil op- erators-Harry F. Sinclair and Hen- ry Mason Day.
 Sinclair is now an old resident spending his sixth week in the bic stone house. but Day joined him only last night. Sinclair must remain six months and Day four months minus a few days each for good be- hayior.
 Sentenced for Same Offense
 The two men who worked side by ness were sentenced for the same of fense. contempt of court. The charge grew out of their jury shad- owing activities during the trial of Sinclair and former Secretary of 1n- ,terior Albert R. Fall for alleged con- ,spiracy to defraud the government Day. with the knowledge and con sent of Sinclair, hired the Burns De- tective Agency to watch and report on the nature and activities of the jurors who were to decide the guilt or innocence of Sinclair and Fall.
 A mistrial was declared as soon as the jury shadowing was discovered by the prosecution. Sinclair was later tried on the conspiracy charge and acquitted, but Fall has never come to trial because of i'll health.
 Day arrived at the jail last night apparently little concerned at the prospect of spending four months in- side it's red stone walls. He smilingly posed for photographers and an- swered the questions of reporters.
 Would Assist Reporters
 'I want to give you fellows a break" he told them. "We'll get to- gether and stop this squabbling. have all the time in the world"
 He apparently referred to the con- troversy between jail officials and the press at the time of sinclair's Imprisonment when reporters were barred from the jail for several days to potect Sinclair from what they considered humiliating publicity.
 Assistant Deputy Marshal John Clarson was waiting for Day at the jail when he drove up alone in a texicab. The new prisoner wore a grey suit. grey hat and blue shirt. His manner was as business like as if he were about to negotiate a mill lion dollar oil contract.
 Before walking through the barred door, he passed out pre- pared statement reasserting his be- lief that both he and Sinclair are innocent of any criminal offense.
 Nothing to "Live Down.
 T am now and shall be able to look any man straight in the eye, as have all my life." the statement said. Y have nothing to live down."
 He said he would resume his du- ties n vice president of the Sinclair Exploitation company as soon as he 1s released.
 Days prison record card was made out in. the office of Superintendent Peak e soen as he entered the jail, but hiB physicaf examination was postponed until today. Days prison number is 1Z14e. At the district jail prisoners are not recognized by their numbers. However, the num- Der is given for card index file and runs consecutively for each prisoner entered. He slept in the same dor mitory where Sinclair spent his first night.

STOCK PRICES SAG
IN SELLING ATTACK
Market Waivers Under Con-
tinued Liquidation, Due to
Credit Outlook.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOsIL,

NEW YORK, May 21-Ths cloud of
higher money rates hung over the stock
market again today and prices general
ly lost ground, despite the sporadic eff
forts of pools to bring about a general
rally. Rails displayed a fairly firm
undertone in reflection of the favorable
ST. Louis and OFallon decision. but the
industrialS and public utilities en-
countered further selling pressure
Call money renewed at per cent,
but the supply of funds available at
that fgure was scarce, and the rate
was expected to work higher. Time
money continued firm around the high
est levels in years.
In view of the expected stringency
around the end of the month, several
brokerage houses have been advising
their customers to tighten long COM
nlittments and reduce margins, which
probable accounts for much of the
selling in the last few days.
Short Interest Believed Large.
Failure of the market to make a
more favorable response to the ORAL
Ion decision led to a resumption of
selling by professional operators, who
acted on the theory that the market
was overbought and that the general
power to take advantage of favorable
news developments. Brokers report
that the borrowing demand for stocks,
particularly the motors, indicates the
presence of large short interest.
Irregularity developed at the open
ing, although price changes in the
leading rails and industrials were
rather narrow after yesterdays violent
fluctuations. General Electric and Air
Reduction each advanced 8 points,
Curtiss Aeroplane. 21a, and Wright
with a block of 10000 shares at 49, off
e. International Telephone dropped 2
points and Coty, 1.
Railroad shares resumed their ad-
vance, although a more careful reading
of the decision In the st. Louis g. ORAL
Ion case disclosed that it was not as
sweepingly in favor of the road as the
first hasty summaries indicated. Atchi-
son scared 614 points, st. Louis-San
Francisco quickly ran up Az points.
New York Central. 81: Rock Island.
"a; Missouri-Pacific preferred, 2, and
Erie common, Western Maryland and
Bangor & Aroostook advanced a point
or more.
Substantial recoveries also we're reg
istered by some of the leading indus
trials, notably st. Joseph Lead, Fleisch-
mann, Hayes Body, National Cash Reg
lister and Kennecott, all of which
showed early gains of points or more.
Selling Pressure Renewed.
Selling pressure. due in part to the
liquidation of weakened marginal ac-
counts. was still in evidence in the in
trustrial list. New low prices for the
year were recorded by Chrysler, United
