Tomorrow, the fish dealers
along Water Street say, ostrea

abound at the wharves and din

No particular reason was given
for the unseemly neglect of the

Anybody who has the notion that the China

immediate concern to Uncle Sam would do well
to consider the Presidents attitude of watchful

Mr. Zukor is a modest little man. His extraor-

boast. But he is proud of THE Buccaneer,"
film now being shot by Paramount and directed
by Cecil B. De Mile.
'The Buccaneer' is the story of Jean Lafitte.
the Louisiana pirate and my favorite villain.
You remember Jean Lafitte, the beautiful
swashbuckling rogue, whose band Of brigands
hid in the Mississippi bayous and came out only
to rob and murder, but who somehow seem to
have been awfully noble at heart, seen from this
distance.
At least Jean Lafitte had his virtues. Andrew
Jackson needed him and his gang of racketeers
to help win the battle Of New Orleans during
the War of 1912. President Jackson promised
them a pardon (there was a price on their
heads If they moved down the British. They
came running and he kept his word.
Mr. Zukor said, however, it wouldn't look we'll
to have this Government appear to pardon Grim
inals-even if the criminals had been mere his
tory for 1875 years. So the film version of La.
fitte's life will work out miraculous, but highly
honorable escape.
1.-THE Buccaneer' will take in practically the
entire world in its story-including the burning
of the White House by the British. But even
this unpleasant event will be subordinated to the
personal story of Jean Latitte.

The question of calling special session of

Further proof that the holdup

was the fact that, after getting

Eddie Dunno 6-5 FuUOrite
To Beat Dean in Arena Bout
Irish Boxers
Clash in
Feature
CARD AT $3.50

Irish Eddie Dunno, Benny
Leonard's clever young light
weight protege, will be put to the
acid test tonight at Turner's
Arena.
The two.fisted son of Auld Erin
will tangle with another Irish
born battler, Irish Johnny Dean,
of Washington, in the eight-round
feature match.
If Dunno hopes to win tonight,
he will have to be at his best, for
Dean never has put up a bad
fight, and his color has always
made him the roofing favorite of
WaShingtonianS.
In view of the fact that
Leonard's fighting lad gave Sailor
Born a terrific lacing two weeks
ago at the Arena, Dunno will
enter the ring 6-to-5 favorite.
DRAW BATTLE
The same Born met Dean at
the stadium back in September,
and held the Irish boy to draw
in stirring eight-rounder.
If Dean couldn't beat Born, and
Dunno boxed the ears off the
Sailor, how does Irish Johnny
expect to beat Irish Eddie tonight?
ask veteran boxing observers.
But Irish Johnny may surprise.
He claims he wasn't in the best
of shape when he met Born. But
tonight, he says, will tell a diff
ferent story.
Dunno will have the great Leon
ard in his corner tonight, and
that combination may play havoc
with Mr.. Dean. But Irish Johnny
will have Jewish manager-second
with him. He is Henry Abrams,
a one-time fighter. Also in Deans
corner will be Ben Evil Eye" Fin

New Yorker, who comes to town
highly recommended. Bullock,
seeking a top spot at the Arena,
whipped Willie Davis, another New
Yorker, two weeks ago, and a vic
tory tonight might put him in line
for a headline spot.
In another six-rounder George
Abrams, Sid FiShells sensational
local middleweight. who has won
his last 10 straight, will attempt
to stretch his winning streak at
the expense of one Charlie Mar
shall, Mississippi fighter, who
gave Hobo Williams and Buddy
