wrestler, brought fanS Surglng into
the ring.
Ell Centro officers swarmed into
the arena and quieted the mob,
menacing Knight with black Jacks
and clamping an iron claw on the
unruly Wrestler's wrist. No arrests
were made.
The wild affray came at the
conclusion of a scmifinal match
between the popular Jack How
land of Hollywood and Knight,
whose appearance was even more
gruesOme than his action because
of a black mask which covered
his face with the exception Of
holes for his protruding lips, flat
tened nose and slit like eyes.
The masked man completely dom
mated the match which he finally
won after fouling Rowland until
the latter was unable to 60 Fans
booed as Tackett raised Knights
arm in victory Then an attempt on
the part of Rowland to shake hands
with the victor brought a haymaker
crashing into the curly headed Hol-
lyWood youth. Tacket intervened as
the contestants continued to slug.
Knight then turned his attentions
upon the referee and caught Tackett
on the side of the face. At this
point wrathful fans entered into
the melee.
Evidently Knight was not con-
vinced the bout was over, although
the ring now was surging with Of
ficers. He charged at Rowland,
catching him on the chin with a
blow which he brought up from
center field. Officers strong armed
the enthusiastic grappler and sent
him spinning dizzily to the floor
The new police wrist claw was
clamped on and he was escorted
from the ring
The main event between George
"The Great" CalZa of Italy and
Dick DaviscOurt proved tame COM
pared to the two previous bouts.
CaIza was introduced as the trust
buster, who was out for Lopez

quick work of DaviscOurt with a
Japanese arm lock that wrenched
ligamentS loose i'm his arm, ac
cording to DR.. A. L. Bowman, who
attended the injured wrestler. Da-
viscourt was not able to appear for
the second fall.
Tackett had his hands full in the
opening match of the evening be-
tween Fritz Hermin and Jack Nc
Arthur. The latter grappler was
disqualified for foul tactics afte,
each of the men had won one fall
Macarthur was continually choking
his German foe.

BROAD SALES TAX
FOR RELIEF URGED
NiCe's Committee Recon-
mends Retail Levy and
14-Month Program.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, February 2O.-A IA
month relief program, to be financed
principally by per cent retail sales
tax, was recommended to Gov Harry
w. Nice yesterday by the special COM
mittee named to study the relief prob
lem.
The tax would apply on all sales of
personal property-with the exception
Of automobiles, on which the present
titling tax would remain-purchases
Of electricity, gas, steam, telephone
and telegraph services and admission
tickets. It also would apply on pur-
chases of gasoline, with a deduction Of
the 4-cent-per-gallon State tax al
lowed.
$5,391,440 Estimated.
The committee estimated that such
a tax, plus the present per cent au-
tomobile titling tax, would yield a
gross of $5,391 ,440 yearly.
Within three hours after the report
was made public the Baltimore Feder-
alton of Labor had voted unanimous
opposition to the tax it proposed.
In resolution the federation said
the tax would be a discriminatory
tax against the wage earners, who form
the predominant proportion of the
buying public" The labor men rec
commended income and inheritance
taxes instead.
The committee recommended that
the gross receipts tax be re-enacted at
the special session next month for
April and May and that the 1-cent
sales tax be enacted for the IL months
from June /, 1886, through May 81.
1897.
The committee estimated that relief
needs, including old-age pensions, aid
to dependent children, unemployables
and employables, an emergency reserve
fund, a county equalization fund and
the overhead Of the Board of State
Aid and Charities, would be $40, ,18l 900
for the IA months from April /, 1896,
to May 81, 1887. OF that amount, the
State would furnish $7,131 ,667 and the

Toxic Announces Movement

Proposal.

(copyrisht. 1886, by the Associated PressJ
TOXIC, February 20.-An early
movement to two japanese Army divl-
sion from Japan to the Japanese-ad-
vised state of Manchukuo was an
nounced today by the Toxic war office.
A war Office spokesman said the
troop movement involved only the an
nual requirements, was not connected
with Far Eastern border incidents and
would not increase the japanese
forces in Manchukuo.
A communique said Emperor Hiro-
hito sanctioned the dispatch OF the
divisions.
The requirements will be carried out
in accordance with schedules followed
for the last three years.
Non-Japanese military authorities
expressed the opinion that the move
ments were not associated with from
tier difficulties, believing, to the con-
trary, that the adherence to normal
schedules indicated the Toxic high
command was not worried over the
o-Japanese situation.

Russia Refuses to Be Party to Mixed
Border Commission.

DOTuGI NUuIuiSSlOhs
BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, February 20.-Japanese
suggestions for establishment OF a
mixed commission to fix the Soviet
Manchukuoan frontiers were rejected
today in an official announcement,
made public by Izvestia, the Russian
government organ.
The announcement said the bound
ary between Soviet Far Eastern ter
ritory and the Japanese-sponsored
state of Manchukuo was already fixed
by treaty.
It suggested, In turn, that Manchu-
kuoan and Japanese military authori-
ties withdraw white Russian agents,
allegedly sent into Soviet territory as
spies and terrorists.
The recent capture and conviction
Of some of these agents. the announce
ment said, established proof that they
received arms and money from Man
chukuo and japanese military authori-
ties in Manchukuo.
Sentenced to Death.
Two of these alleged agents were
sentenced to death by a Soviet mill
tary court last November IA and an
other January 26 after they were said
to have confessed that they were in
Japanese and Manchukuoan pay.
The Soviet announcement cited an
old agreement with Manchuria, oblig-
ing the latter to put an end to anti
Soviet activities of white Russians
residing in Manchurian territory.
It accused japanese miItarists Of
provoking border incidents to prevent
decentralization" of relations with the
U. S. S. r. to support their alleged
contention that Fascist military die
tatorship must be established in Japan
to cope with an unavoidable" inter-
national crisis.
Claim Borders Fixed.
The borders were clearly fixed by
the treaties of Peiping and Mukden,
the Soviet announcement insisted,
and these provided for "redemarca-
ton" only when necessary.
Redemarcation, it said, meant moth
ing more than restoration of old
frontier signs and an increase in their
number were needed"
Such redemarcation, it added, "could
be carried on only in an atmosphere
of peace, not during period marked
by raids and provocations
Tamekich Ota, Japanese Ambas-
Sador in Moscow, has had several
talks with the comnissariat of for
eign affairs recently, out it has not
been disclosed whether the suggestions
to fix the frontier came officially from
the japanese government or unoffi-
cially through Japanese military au-
thorities.
