tooth and nail all three rounds and
in the last it was a question as to
who would drop first; but Olivo,
Negro boy who looked like a n1inia-
ture Joe Cans, got the decision and
the crowd went mad with applause.
1t was the best fight so far.
DECISIONS and knockouts and
" hard fought battles all along.
Every fighter, with the exception of
a few, were workers, Those few
were students. David Crawford, a
20-year-old Negro laborer, fought
against Leonard Ferrer, an appren-
tice printer. The printers and la
borers up In the galleries stuck up
for their respective tradesmen.
Crawford won the decision because
of his aggressiveness. In the next
bout a Negro chauffeur, Green,
went to it with a cutter; but the
guy who got his muscles built up
from shifting gears and stepping
on brakes, crashed in with a couple
of stiff body blows that floored the
scissor handler.
Green Inter won the sub-povice
heavyweight championship by q
knockout; but he wasn't eheered.
Not sound was uttered as his
hand was raised. He fought the
second time for the championship
after a Negro bookbfnder stepped
into the ring with a waiter. The
Negro boOkbinder, Hough, won the
first two rounds according to the
Judges, but in the last round,
the waiter almost pat HOugh
away. The crowd went hyster-
icalIy, chauvinisticalIy mad. Till
then, all the Negro boxers won
their bouts. But when Hough's
hand was raised as the winner,
the fans almost Stampeded the
stadium. They protested loudly
with loud whistles, booing, yelling.
They rose in mass to protest the
decision. They bOoed and hooted
during the next two bouts. And
it was Green's misfortune to fol-
low this bedlam. For putting up
a brilliant, game fight, knocking
out his opponent, he was boOed
ana most OF the tans wouldn't
acknowledge the champion,
pUT the porters, printers, box
u makers, radio station office
boys, shipping clerks, machinists,
students, milkmen, cutters, transfer
clerks, had their day, or so the
Daily News would have us believe.
The two best fights of the evening
were the open championship light
weight bout between Charles Diaz,
a printer, and Frank Williams, a
Negro porter, and the heavyweight
final between Bob Pastor, student
at N. Y. U. and Al Demedowitz, a
bookkeeper.
In the lightweight bout, Williams
walked in at the beginning, meas
ured his opponent, hit, kept hitting,
followed up his punches, bored in
like finished professional and
knocked his opponent out in the
first round. 1t was fine exhibit
ton of finished workmanship. In
the heavyweight bout, both men
were accomplished boxers. Both
men weayed and ducked and tented
until their openings came: but the
hard punching student landed a
couple of stiff hooks to the book
keepers head, followed up with
more quick punches and, after floor
ing his opponent twice, he finished
the Job with series of lightning
hooks and jabs until Demedowitz
fell.
This bout crowned the evening
And now these boys will spend their
time training for the inter-city
championship against the Chicago
Glove winners on March 18th.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 28.-The or
ganization of an emergency rifle regi-
ment Of 1900 picked marksmen to
increase the efficiency of police to
meet emergencies" was ordered today
by Commissioner John F. O'Ryan.
The move followed by less than "a
hours threats of strike on Public
Works Administration contracts in
Manhattan.
Police also undertook issuance of
identifying credentials to authorized
representatives of labor unions, doing
so. Ryan said, at the request of union
officials.
To Halt Racketeers.
The union credentials, issued by
Chief Inspector Lewis J. Valentine,
included a letter with a photograph
attached. The sole purpose was, he
said. to prevent racketeers and gun
men from injecting themselves into
labor controversies.
Present plans for the rife regiment
are to have 400 men on duty each
eight-hour shift. Police officials es-
innate mobilization of the entire regi-
ment would take but one hour.
The P. w. A. strike question,
threatened by 100 leaders of the work.
ers at a meeting yesterday, is sched-
uled to be considered tomorrow by
building and construction trade
unions.
Low Wages Charged.
The P. w. A. workers representa-
tives charged that contractors were
paying wages below union scale. Ap-
proMmately 600 millions Of dollars
worth of P. w. A. projects are under
construction in New York.
Today only the midtown tunnel,
where the difficulty started with a
small group of skilled workers, was
under picket. Representatives of the
workers asserted, however, that rock
drillers, excavators, iron workers and
were ready to strike.

he heard him get out of bed and a
moment later the back door closed
softly.
Paul waited a little while, but his
brother didn't come back. Paul
awakened his sisters and told them
he was going out to look for Charles.
He took an old lantern, the sisters

COLORED SHRINE
FUND IS SOUGHT
Children Contribute Penny
Each to Improvement ct
Douglass Home.
BY JAMES WALDO FAwCErT.

Cedar Hill, the fine old house in
Anacostia where Frederick Douglass
spent the last years Of his life, soon
is to be beautifiSd by improvement of
its environment. Colored school chill
dren Of the country are engaged in
raising penny fund" to meet the
costs of thorough renovation Of the
lawns. terraces, gardens and roads of
the estate. A total of $35, 900. it is
estimated, will be required, and toward
that aggregate each colored boy and
girl attending school in the United
States has been invited to contribute
l cent. Nearly $1,000 already has
been collected in Washington.
The Douglass house is a national
shrine for Afro-Americans. Con-
trolled and administered by the Fred
erick Douglass Memorial and Histor-
ical Association. founded by Mrs.
Helen Pitts Douglass, widow of the
celebrated leader. 1t stands on the
highest elevation in the southeast sec
ton of the District of Columbia. A
winding roadway leads up from Four
teenth and w streets southeast to
the door, and the top of the hill af-
fords magnificent view of the city.
Interior Much the Same.
Inside, the house presents very
much the same appearance that It
did when Douglass resided there. A
man of simple tastes. the furniture
reflects his ideals. The parlor remains
as he left it. 1t was on its threshold
that he died
Douglass library also retains its
original aspect. On one side, glass
covered bookcases reach to the CELL
ing, the shelves filled with books
on history. economics, political econ
omy. sociology and law. The pub
hcist's desk and chair stand in their
old places. An ancient typewriter oc-
cupies a place nearby.
Across the center hall is draw
ing room where the Douglass family
customarily assembled for music. The
walls are occupied by bronze plaques
listing the names of contributors to
the mortgage, repair and maintenance
fund OF the association. In one corner
is an upright piano with an ebony
case, the strings still tuned.
The dining room likewise Is in its
original state, the furniture a heavy,
simple style of golden oak.
The bed rooms are decorated and
equipped in a fashion puritanically
artlesS. In the hallway are two cases
OF documentary souvenirs of Douglass
career-volumes of his own periodi-
Gals, letters, an order signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln, the bill of sale by
which Douglass obtained his free
doom from slavery. addresses written
by or presented to him, books and
pamphlets concerning his work. Also
set of silver given by Queen Vic
toria, Douglass violin, cane and other
relics. A third case displays personal
belongings.
Photographs and engravings, scat
tered through the house, testify to
the number of his friends-William
Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Susan B. Anthony.
Wendell Phillips and many others
included.
The whole story of the mans ex-
perience can be traced in the rooms.

CLARKSBURG, w. Va. July "a
Five union leaders were freed today
OF charges that they intimidated the
Weirton Steel Co.'S witnesses in the
legal proceedings brought against the
concern by the National Labor Board
several months ago.
Magistrate Fred Z. Shelter dis
missed the allegations after a hear
ing, holding that the only question
before the court was whether the men
allegedly intimidated we're witnesses
in the boards suit against Weirton.
He ruled they we're not.
The Labor Board. which has since
been superseded by President Roose-
velt's new Industrial Relations Board,
is asking in the case still pending in
Federal court at Wilmington, Del,
that the company be restrained from
interfering with collective bargaining
elections in its plant.
Constructing Justice"
On July II, E. e. Paddock, superin-
tendent OF the Weirton company's
Clarksburg plant, charged the five
officers of Blue Eagle Lodge, No. 80,
Of the Amalgamated Association Of
Iron. Steel and Tin Workers with in
timidating witnesses and obstructing
justice. Paddock took this step as
an individual.

Shelter heard the case of one Of the

tary of the lodge. with the provision
