DECISION GOES TO
MR. ROBERT WAUGH
Ft. Worth Boy Wins From
Billy Wagner After 13
Rounds of It.
THE MAJESTY OF THE
LAW MUST BE UPHELD
CROWD WAS SMALL
Show Pleased Those Pres-
ent; Warier Inclined
to "Hold on."
nobby Waiish of lort Worth won
the decision from Piily Wngnor of
Salt Luke City after 15 rounds of fur-
ious boxing nt Convention hall lust
night. The bout was staged by the
local committee of the O. A. U.-U. S.
C. V. encampment which opens here
today but the attendance was disap-
pointing. Less than seven hundred
persons were present.
The show was eminently satisfac-
tory. Waiish fairly earned the deci-
sion. He fought every second forcing
the battle in nearly every round.
Wagner showed flashes of cleverness
and used a Jab thnt annoyed the Fort
Worth boy. but Wasner lost the sym-
pathy of the crowd by holding on and
covering up. He was plainly trying
to save himself lie appeared to have
the worst of the weight oueslion from
6 to 10 pounds nut this did not ex-
cuse him for failinnr to mix It.
In the last round Wanner was will-
ing to exchance blows and as a result
the crowd stood to its feet and cheered
manly.
When Referee Al Venn raised
Waugh's hand in token of victory the
audience cheered loudly.
IUls of Music
The Oklahoma O. A. K. drum corps
played during the evening and music
was also furnished by the Tulsa band.
The best ha I tie royal ever staged In
Tulsa furnished quite a lot of amuse-
ment. Kive colored gladiators one of
whom was larger than the rest mixed
thines In a furious manner for two
rounds. Then the big fellow quit and
the other four weni to it until all of
them were eliminated. It finally nar-
rowed down to on'.- boxer who was
declared tho winner.
Kid Miller and Kid Fat luvenlles.
put up a four-round curtain raiser
that brought them a hhower of silver
at the finish. Kid Fat looked like a
minature Carl Motris and his style
of boxing was similar to that cf the
Snpulpan.
Kid T-ilack 8nd Young Wlllard were
scheduled to go six rounds but they
proved too slow to follow the pre-
ceding fast events and Keferee Glenn
Condon started them to the dressing
rooms after tho first round.
When the law Bays "come on" Its
time to follow instruction.
That is unless you are willing to
part with severui pounds ot I nele
Pain's script ami spend a summer's
vacation investigating tho tensile
.strength of liighwnv paving material
lor that is what .Municipal Judge Cav-
il has decided is the only alternative.
Saturday night .Motorcycle Olliccr
i:iuwn placed William OhvIs under
aritsi und l-t'ore he could bring his
prisoner to the Million a light wus in
progress with tho prisoner us second
best man. His bond was fixed at $50.
I 'elective uvcrby had difficulty In
placing Kd Daniels under arrest. It
cost he I $101) und ninety clays on the
rock pile. 15. A. Illackburn hit i'a-
trolman Wilkinson. Judge Cavit
thought $r0 and twenty duys would
be enough in his case.
lint the impression in "hard-boiled"
circles is that the law has the backing
of the court and so when the law says
"coino on" its time to follow instructions.
EX-CONVICT SAYS

JUST DETERMINED TO
"GET" CITY PUMPER
Year Long Fight to Depose Orcn
Nelson is lU'gim Willi
llencwcil Vigor.
Special to The World.
HAIlTSIiOkNK. Okla. May IS. A
year long light to depose Oren Nel-
son l'cmocral as city pumper was re-
opened in the llartshoine city council
this week and Mayor George W.
Walshe iiepulilican lost.
Since Maor Wulshe's election a
year ao there has been an almost
continual fight as to who (should be
city pumper. It begun at the first
council meeting following the Installa-
tion of the new Republican mayor
who had defeated John Itobortson
blind Ocmocrat by the narrow mar-
gin of one vote.
Nelson had been appointed by
Mayor Kobertson and when the new
mayor was sworn in he appointed a
ltepublicun. The council was Demo-
cratic however and that body re-
fused to confirm vhe muyor's sclcc-
lion. As a result Nelson has held
over.
When Robertson former mayor
huh elected as a member of the coun-
cil at the last city election the fight
was reopened and at this week's meet-
ing Nelson was elected pumper for a
lull year following the council's re-
fusal for a second time to confirm the
mayor's Republican appointee.
Mayor Walshe also sought to re-
move J. R. Berry Democrat as night
marshal but the council refused to
approve Kerry's dismissal.

Just Released From McAl-
ester Says Prisoners
Treated Badly.
MURPHY'S THERE TOO
Murderer of Tulsa County
Jailer Is Confined in
the Dungeon.
(BY WILLIAM DOYLK No. 546S).
"I've Just done a lull al McAlester
tor forgery and at that it's not my
first. I fell in Colorado Stuto nnd I
fell at Lansing but tuke it from mo
McAlester is the worst."
Tho speaker was a man who tugged
at a small ploce of cord which his
nervous ringers tied into knots only
to untie again as he peered from tho
Inco of one of his listeners to another
to see if his story was believed.
Clothes Too Heavy.
His prison 'togs' were much too
heavy for tho weather of the day and
to vouch for the number he gave ho
pulled trom the upper part of tins
cheap prison time u tag bearing tiio
number r. 4 0 H.
"I tell you things arc fierce down
there" ho continued. "Tho worst I
have ever seen.'' He talked with an
air of one who knows und tie made no
attempt to hide the tai;t that he spoko
with authority.
"Why I have seen men down there
strung along their cell liars until their
toes could barely touch the floor. They
hung there until tiny dropped off -ind
then the M. . would cuinc ulong wil.i
the smelling salts and when they came
to they would be hung up again.
Sometimes they hung there 36 hours
ut a time.
'Hint-It Wimiiii.
"But even if a fellow was sick ho
was afraid to go to the hospital. If
you're a had one down there ami go
to the hospitul you may make your
next trip In the 'black wagon.' .Many
a time I've been too sick to woi k but
1 was afraid to go to the M. 1). for fear
of the 'black bottle.' Tnal's a way
they huve of getting rid of the bad
ones.
Murphy's There Too.
"There's a fellow from Tulsa down
there. They say he killed a Jailer up
here. He's down in tho cell without
any light any food clothes or atr.
He's going mad but you can't help
him. They've got it in for him and
that settles it.
"I guess I haven't got much busi-
ness talking like this but vou see I'm
out now nnd i know what It is. Maybe
somebody will look into things that
are going on down there and anyway
I'm coinir to leave this state. It would
be the 'black bottle' for .'no If I ever
fell back there again.
A Season's
Driving is the Test
IN their efforts to keep pace with the Fairfield
"Six-46" other manufacturers of light Sixes
are introducing radical features new designs
new power plants new engineering theories.
These are all experimental.
Whether or not your choice is the Fairfield
"Six-46" ($1295) for your own protection bear
this vital point in mind:
A season's driving in the hands of the car-owner
is the only fair test that such innovations in
design are practical and successful.
Tests in laboratories or on speedways are not con
elusive. Time and actual road service offer the
only final proof that the practical enduring
qualities are really there. Why then buy an
experiment?
Then bear this in mind: The Fairfield "Six-46"
has a motor supreme in power flexibility and
reliability. It has beauty distinction and luxury
of equipment unique in the Light Six field.
Most important of all it has the overwhelming
endorsement of thousands of Paige Owners.
In the Fairfield you buy an established Success-
not an experiment

Negotiations With
Great Britain Will
Be Continued Now
WASHINGTON. May 10. Secre-
tary Lansing made It clear late today
that while the administration wus
finding It difficult to proceed In its
negotiations with Great Britain on
blockade matters because of the state-
ments contained In the last Gorman
submarine note the negotiation!
would be continued in tho near fu-
ture. He added that more prompt-
A real
Guarantee
To be more than a mere "scrap of paper" a guarantee must be absolute-
and backed by a concern able and willing to make it good.
The General's guarantee is not only absolute; it is backet! by a business operating
the world's largest rooting mills and making one-third of all the roll roofing
made in America. That's the guarantee behind
Certain-teed
Roofing
The guarantee is for 5 10 or 1 5 years accord-
ing to ply (1 2 or 3). There is no evasion
about it no attempt to substitute a high-
sounding something "just as good." There
is no substitute for a real guarantee. You
get an absolute guarantee on CERTAIN-
TEED because the General knows that no
better roofing can be made. Its raw materials
and method of manufacture are both certi-
fied by the General's board of graduate chem-
ists and he knows he's taking no chance in
guaranteeing them to you. That's what
"CERTAIN-TEED" means ttrttftJ and
guaranteed. Experience has proven that the
guarantee is conservative and that CER-
TA I N-TEED will oudast the period of guar-
antee. The roofing felt as it comes bone dry from
ko mllprc iq crivpn a fTinrnup-h saturation of
a special blend of soft asphalts the formula
of the General's board of expert chemists.
It is then given a harder coaUng of another
blend of asphalts. This keeps the inner sat-
uration soft and prevents the drying-out
(irocess so destructive to ordinary roofing
looting is impervious to the elements only
so long as the asphalt saturation lasts. CERTAIN-TEED
retains its soft saturation and
is in good condition for years after the harder
drier kinds have become useless.
CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in
slate-covered shingles. There is a type of
CERTAIN-TEED for every kind of build-
ing with flat or pitched roofs from the largest
sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out
building.
CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible
dealers all over the world at reasonable prices.
Investigate it before you decide on any type
of roof.
