her child down to the ladies' lounge.

Headed For
Remarkable Career

Roscoe Smith, 2521 Miami street,
seems headed for a remarkable
career in the fistic world, if we are
to take the record established by
him last week in the Council Bluffs
Nonpariel Golden Gloves tourna-
ment in which he fought his way
to the title of champion of the
welterweight division, winning over
four competitors. two of them in
one night.
Smith as champion of the welter-
weight division from that section
of Iowa drawn upon by the Non
pareii will represent the paper in
the World Herald Golden Glove A.
A U. tournament to be held here
in Omaha in February, 1898.
The Nonpareil, Council Bluff s
leading daily, had this to say of
Smith: "Of the winners who will
represent us at the coming tourna-
ment to be held in Omaha in Febr-
uary, '38, Smith left handed Negro

able command of himself. he took
a clean cut decision from Charles

something and is going places.

Color of Sea Water

The deep blue OF the ocean, con.
trasted with green water near shore
appears to be due to the selective
absorption of certain parts Of the
suns rays by these organisms. Clear
e water looks blue from the sur
face because some Of the nonah-
sorbed rays of this color are re
heeted. If planktons are present
some of the red and yellow rays
are also reflected. 4 mixture of the
blue and yellow gives the appear.

Clever Fish Catcher

The cleverest wild creature to
capture fish is undoubtedly the OF

the master of almost anything that
swims. When a fox gets among a
number of chickens he will run

OOack Tnbbs Of lowe Okayed
By F. n. DAVIS

OOach Tnbbs of Iowa 0kayed
Because Capt. Homer Harris of
Iowa, for 1885 and 1886 the Big
Ten's most brilliant defensive end,
was shifted TO tackle this season
and in the last few games was not
allowed even to start, this observer
and a good many other Duskymer-
leans were wondering whether it
was due to race prejudice on the
part OF Coach Ira Tubbs, who went
to Town only this year from Miami
university. down Florida way.
We are glad to announce, how
w that we are wrong. Kenneth
Belle of Iowa City, probably the
Hawkeyes' No. 1 sepia rooter, in
forms US that Coach Tubbs is liked
by the powers that be, due to his
favorable attitude toward coloFed
players. He coached dusky athletes
at Superior, Wis, before going to
Dixie and while down there never
assimi1ated the sections p~rejudices
Harris, first Negro eyer to cap
tam q Big Ten team, did not play
HIS usual sensational game this
year becaue he was handicapped by
early season injuries. That and no.
thing else accounts for his failure
to start Iowas concluding games.
Meanwhile Fred Smith, sophomore,
wAO wal not so highly regarded as
tho fail began, ended brilliantly
and observers say that if he Is
sAifted to tackle he will become one
Of the nations phenomenal players.

JUDGE RESTORES
 LIQUOR PERMIT
Transcript Evidence No Substitute for Actual
 Witnesses Says Court

Holding that transcript of evi- dence apparently offered for the purpose does not stand as substi- tute for witnesses presented in the orderly way, Judge Frank P. Me- Evoy in Hartford superior court or dered the restaurant liquor permit of Anthony s. Petrauskas, of New Britain, restored, when he appealed from the revocation by the Liquor Control Commission.
 The permit was revoked by the commission, who found PetrauSkas guilty of selling liquor after the legal closing hour. The commission offered a transcript of evidence in- stead of witnesses to testify at the appeal, and although the court ad- mitted the transcript 1t ruled that it had no bearing on the weight of credibility of the testimony of witt nesses who appeared before the commission. The court had invited the commission to enter witnesses.
 Judge McEvoy commented, "This is not intended as any criticism of the procedure before the Liquor Commission as it is a matter of common knowledge that it would not be feasible to conduct hearings held there, under the present cir- cumstances, in accordance with the same rules of procedure which are observed in superior court. By reason of the failure of the appelle in the proceedings before the court to present any witnesses it was not possible for this court to substan- tially place itself in the position in which the commission was at the time of the proceedings before it.

COURT AWAITING.
 REPLY FROM SON
Will of Late Mrs. Elsie Chase to Be PrObated
 When Notice Arrives

No action on the admission to probate of the will of the late Mrs. Elsie Rowland Chase, wife of Fred erick s. Chase, will be taken until sufficient time has elapsed to allow notice of the filing of the will to reach son, Sabin Chase, in Can- ton, China, and for his acknowl- edgement of the notice is received here, Judge Dennis J. Slavin of Pro- bate court said today.
 Under the law reasonable time must be allowed for notice of the filing of the will to reach all inter- ested parties. Chase is in the United States consular service, at Canton.
 The will was filed with Judge Slavin several weeks ago. Observ- ance of the legal formalities means that no hearing on the admission of the document will be held for several weeks, probably not until the lat ter part of May.
 The terms of the will will not be made known until after it has been admitted to probate. Mrs. Chase, a member of one of the city's most prominent families, died April 4. She was leader in several women's organizations and was a generous contributor to local charities.

ITALIAN CLUB TO
 HOLD DRIVE HERE

Plans for a campaign to secure new voters were discussed last night at meeting of the Italian Demo- cratic club in the city court room. Alderman Charles P. Sciullo, pres ident of the club, urged members to go out and round up as many applications of new voters as pos sible so that the democratic party will be strengthened when the time for the city election arrives.
 Philip Coppetto, who was chair man of the committee which ar- ranged the recent testimonial din- ner to City Sheriff Angelo Nardona, reported on the affair. He informed the club members that 494 persons attended the dinner.
 Six new members were admitted to the club last night and reso- lution on the death recently of MT. Barbieri, @ member of the board of directors, was adopted.

BARRIERS DISCUSS
 NEW PRICE SCALE
Standardization of Prices Sought Here-HartfOrd
 Barbers Interested

Standardization of haircut prices at 50 cents and slaves at half that price in all Waterbury barber shops is expected to be the principal dis cussion at the next meeting of lo- cal association members within the next two weeks.
 A scale of prices is expected to be submitted at this gathering and overwhelmingly adopted, 1t was learned by the Democrat today. This scale already prevails in many local barber shops, although there are many still offering haircuts at 40 cents and slaves at 20 cents.
 The new scale is expected to pre- vent price cutting which local ton- sorial artists claim is making 1t impossible for some of their assoc iation members to secure a living wage. It is expected that if any proprietors here refuse to accept the standard prices after they are adopted, their union barbers will be withdrawn and their emporiums picketed.
 Hartford Local, No. 73, will act on the sane ideas at meeting next Monday. Along with the standard price scale, will go a union wage scale of $20 minimum wage per week, with a commission to jour- neymen barbers of 50 per cent on all business done by the individual barber in excess of $28.

No Cash Deficit On
 Municipality's Books
City of Waterbury Holds Unique Position-Legisla-
 tive Committee to Permit Bill Introduced to 'Die'

Waterbury holds the unique po- Sition among the cities of the state of Connecticut in not having any cash deficit on its books. This fact was pointed out today by Senator Robert Claffey of Hartford, chair man of the committee on cities and boroughs. He stated that his com- mittee would not bother reporting to the senate as the bill eliminat- ing from the duties of the Water- bury board of aldermen the require ment that it set up a deficit account yearly to take care of cash preced- ing years cash deficit.
 No Deficit
 "The bill was introduced by the city administration but an inves- tigation has shown that there is now no cash deficit there now" said Senator Claffey. Therefore, the senate committee on cities and boroughs will not bother reporting on the bill. The city officials of Waterbury have agreed to leave the bill die."
 When the bill was heard before the committee on cities and bor- oughs the week before last Con- troller Daniel J. Leary, pointed out that passage of the measure was unnecessary in view of the absence of a cash deficit. "This was rnere- ly an emergency measure intro duced at the beginning of the 1897 session." explained Controller Leary.
 '."There is no emergency existing now" he continued. "No cash def icit exists in Waterbury at the present time and the municipality is operating on a strictly cash basis" It was upon his suggestion and that of Mayor Frank Hayes
