A thrilling story of myst ery and romance. .Read the story in Fri- day's Daily Pioneer. PORT I^EWS (By Hal Sheridan) Boxing teas for women don't go around New Yt>rk City. The gentler sex that makes its way home via the New York subway is willing to tackle other things Parisian, but when it comes to watching two hus- kies maul each other around the ring —well, that's another story. John Weismantel, who runs the Broadway Sporting club in Brooklyn, made the bid for the women fight fans. John advertised that he would put on a weekly tea party, with box- ing strictly on the side. After thor- ough press-agenting, John threw open the club for the first affair at which he promised feminine boxing enthusiasts would gather. It was pretty tough on John. There were plenty of "gents" in their shirt- sleeves, who chewed gum because John had admonished them not to smoke in the presence of "ladies," but there was only one "lady" pres- ent. She confessed that she was sent over the bridge by a New York paper. Princeton graduates and under- graduates are expressing some sur- prise at the naming of John H. Rush of Cleveland as head coach of the Tiger football team. Rush had held the Princeton record of the 100 yards —9 4-5—while he was in school— but took his football on the side- lines. Some of the Princetionians, however, are pointing out that Bob Zuppke, the most brilliant coach the 1914 season produced in the west, was not a letter man in football when he attended Wisconsin university. Poughkeepsie may take on all the aspects of Henley in Che English re- getta season as the result of the change in the rowing program to be- come effective at this year's races. In- stead of bunching the freshmen, ju- nior and varsity races in the after- noon as in the past, the two minor events will be rowed in the morning. There were some critics who were of the opinion that this would re- duce the size of the crowds The belief expressed here now is that tho arrival of crowds in Poughkeepsie on the night before the big race?, the mingling of old friends and the op- portunity of making the hike up the river a sort of vacation will trans- form what formerly was only an af ternoon's outing into a real sporting event. BEAUTIFYING A STREET. Michigan Avenue of Chicago to De Widened and Extended, sWorld famous thoroughfares — like the Champs Elysees, Paris; Unter <!«»«• Linden, Berlin; Ringstrasse, Vienna: Piccadilly, London, and Fifth avenue. New York city—do as much perhaps to lure travelers -from the uttermost parts of the world to their respective cities as any other single object of MI terest in them, writes Walter D. Mot. dy, managing director, Chkngo plan commission, in the American City. Perhaps the most spectacular tmtl most needed street improvement e\ei undertaken in a large city is the Chi cago Michigan avenue extension, ap proved by the people at the Nov. I) election and which will cost $8,000,000 It is likely that Chicago today in it> fascinating mile section of Michigan avenue skirting the lake front atul coursing the heart of the city possesses the most splendid business thorough,, fare in the world This is not onl> true because of the magnificent facade of the palatial buildings, but also on account of the fine perspective afforded by the great open space just opposite in Grant park. The widening and extension of Mich- igan avenue is to be on the two level plan, the river to be crossed by a dou ble deck bascule bridge. This mam moth bridge, the first of its kind to be constructed anywhere, will have a span of 210 feet and a width of ninety feet Light traffic will take the upper deck and heavy traffic the lower. The two level extension of Michigan iivenue is proposed solely for the pur pose of separating the north and south from the east and west traffic. North and south approaches to the uppei level will be on so slight a grade as to make the elevation almost impercepti- ble The significance of the Michigan ave- nue improvements in the plan of Chi- cago is best seen in the fact that it forms the eastern boundary of the "quadrangle" in the plan. This "quad- rangle" is bounded on the north by Chicago avenue, on the west by Canal street and on the south by Twelfth street. These four streets are destined to bear the heaviest traffic of any four bliects in Chicago. The development of the "quadrangle" will complete the foundation of the street circulatory system in the plan of Chicago. No improvement is needed in Chicago ave- nue. That thoroughfare is now 100 feet wide. MIDNIGHT FIRE DESTROYS SEGAL EMPORIUM (Continued from Page 2.) vived and flames. returned to fight the Fire Sidelights.

The city of Syracuse, N. Y.. has'in- stituted a novel type of automobile garbage collection by which it has rid itself of the nuisance of open wagons -scattering garbage through the street* and giving off an unpleasant odor, say the American City. Two motor trucks are used for the new service, and each is of three tons capacity and carries 108 cans of 100 pounds capacity. As the cans are not always full the average load is about three and a half tons. Each truck employs a force of six men Two are stationed at all times on the folding running boards. Their work is to place in position on the car the Peking Death was treading on the verj tieelsi of the dancers, bid tue.t gave a regular and very successful ball not a scratch •'hop," but with H band supper, programs and all the other apparatus The dancing began at 10 p m and lasted most ot the night, while all rhe time thousands ot Chinese fiends were swarming round the place, yelling for blood When the relieved officers came ofl duty they repaired to the ballroom while the former batch of male part ners took up their rifles and went out to the defense Not a single casnality had occurred then, nor did one happen during the hall by some estrnordinarj chance, yet some determined assaults were made by the besiegers and three times a naitz HJIS stopped short in the middle tor all the men to turn out and help In the ih'tVnse London \n«wers A new Australian law requires that methylated spirits shall contain enough naphtha to make them un- palatable for drinking and thus pre- vent their sale as intoxicants. by the four collectors When loaded the trucks go to the re- duction plant outside the city, where the truck driver and two assistant* empty the truck. These assistants stay at the plant. Tart of their duty is tc wash the cans and have them read? for the next day's service. In the meantime clean cans, which have been used on the previous day, are placed on the truck, which returns to the city for the next load. The trucks are neat and attractive in appearance, and if the system, which is in the experi- mental stage, proves satisfactory a suf- ficient number of trucks will be pur- chased to extend the service over the entire city.
