TINS turmoil Of the heavyweight
division was caused by the un-
heralded entry OF Roscoe Toles in
to a commanding position. The
Detroit heavyweight came roaring

Toles had stopped IN two rounds in
Detroit last Wednesday night.

expected Knockout OF Adamick
provoked Muggsy and caused him
TO shifI his plans
II was not the Knockout OF
Adamick that hurled him uncere-
moniously and unannounced into a
position where he must he reckon
cd with. II was the savage and
fcrocious manner in which he dis
posed Of the Midland Mauer.
For number OF years il has

Auto Club Asks
Parents to Curb
Halloween Fun

The Keystone Automobile Club today
appealed to parents and teachers to
help keep children from running costly
automobiles in their Halloween fun"
this year.
Halloween pranks have been costing
Washington motorists increasing sums
each year, the club said. The finish
on hundreds Of cars was ruined last
year by soap used by children in mark
ing them up, it asserted, adding:
Debated and cut tires, broken door
handles, hlched radiator and gasoline
tank caps-all of these added to the
toll taken by crowds of Halloween fun
seekers.
THE club believes that the spirit Of
the day does not call for the wanton
destruction of property, and it calls
upon parents and school teachers to
emphasize that in such pranks the
youngster Is guilty Of an act Of vandal-
ism which cannot be defended "a any

PRE-TR|AL r
IS ORDERED HERE
Suit Against Commissioner
of Indian Affairs to
Be Taken Up.

District Court shortly will have its
first pre-trial procedure in civil
case, . plan new to this Jurisdiction,
whereby in preliminary hearing
things agreed to will be dispensed
with as evidence and the case will
get down to the real essentials.
Justice Oscar r. Luhring in District
Court yesterday, hearing motions, re-
ferred the case Of Frederick G. COL
lett against Commissioner of Indian
Affairs John Collier to the assign
ment commissioner to arrange for a
pre-trial procedure, The court had
made no official plans for such a
novelty, which is envisioned under the
new Federal rules for civil procedure
promulgated by the Supreme Court
Of the United States. Mr.. Collett has
sued Mr.. Collier for 100000, claim
ing libel.
The case was filed in May, 1885,
and has been hanging fire for more
than three years now. The assign
ment commissioner has not yet de-
cided to which justice Of the District
Court the case will be referred.
Attorneys Huston Thompson and
Herbert S. Ward, who represent Com
missioner Collier, made the move for
the pre-trial procedure.
Opposing counsel contended that
rule l6, as the Supreme Court civil
procedure rule dealing with pre-trials
Is ofhcially called, has not been adopt
ed in this jurisdiction as yet, and
they called the courts attention to
the fact that the October meeting
OF the Bar Association of the District
OF Columbia tabled a motion to Sc
cure some sort OF adoption of the
rule here.
Commissioner Golfers lawyers said
that the preliminary hearing should
speed disposition Of the case and save
much money. They said the pre-
liminary matters involve admission Of
the authenticity of some 1000 ex-
hibits. including mass Of cards and
records, as we'll as 100 dispositions, now
on file in District Court here. Fur
ther, they said, this may obviate the
necessity for bringing witnesses from
California to testify. including the
attorney general of that State.
