NEW n IN
Toledo, 0., March 23—There'll
be no fleecing of tlie people thru
crooked prize fights by crooked
fight promoters in Toledo hence
forth; and the Rev. Aaron E. Jones,
curator of St. Murk's Episco
pal Church is tho man who will be
personally responsible for straight
fighting and clean prize-ring sport
here.
Dr. Jones has just been appoint
ed head of the municipal boxing
commission by Mayor Keller, for
two reason. The first is that Dr.
Jones is as enthusiastic a fight fan
as thero_is in the city, and as such
knows the game from first to
last. The second reason is that Dr.
Jones is mentally .temperamentally
and physically THE man for ithe
place. He believes thoroughly in
boxing if it is s -operly supervised
—.and he declared 1" will see .that
the game is properly supervised
while he heads the local commis
sion.
"I believe every man and boy
should bo taught how to defend
himself", said Dr. Jones today.
"We shall give special attention to
boys between the ages of fifteen
and twenty. We.shall see to it that
no man or boy engages in a figlit
in this city until he has undergone
a rigid physical examination and
has been pronounced fit. • Our aim
is to build up men in physical
strength and to make the sport
here the acme of what is sports
manlike. • Brutality in matches will
r.ot be tolerated'.' Co-workers on
the commission w'th the Rev. Jones
include a tailor and ethers who
have been interested only as lay
men in the fight game.

SHE DISAPPEARED
II YEAR AGO
Newcastle, Ind., March 21—One
year has come and gone since the
disappearance of Catherine Win
ters, the 9-year-oU daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Winters of
this 'city. Though hundreds of
clues have been investigated, and
though Dr. Winters has impover
ished himself ia the search, the
mystery is as impenetrable today
as it was a year ago. Dr. Winters
still appears confiden* that Cather
ine will be found. lie still cher
ishes the theory that she was kid
napped, and beliercs with many
others that gypsies were respons
ible, though all attempts to locate
gypsy bands near New Castle at
chat time failed.
Reports bearing every evidence
of plausibility have come from
all parts of the United States to
the effect that the Winters child
was found, or that persons had
confessed the kidnapping, but un
der the personal investigation of
Dr. Winters or local authorities
they were disproved. The disap
pearance was just pricr to the dis
astrous flood of last spring, and
some believe the little girl was
drowned and swept away by the
waters. A special grand jury in
vestigattion disclosed nothing, Con
gressman Finly Gray of this district
has asked congress to enact a law
better protecting the home from
Kidnappers, but tki3 appears to be
tho only tangible result of the
country-wide search.
