the revolver and he also obeyed this
second request after which she dis
appeared.

HIGH LIVING CHS!
PORTLAND. Ore., July 8 —The
high cost of living problem is being
solved here today to some ex’eht by
the people of Portland through the
establishment of a municipal market
in one of the principal streets of the
city. Although opened but a month
ago, the market has expanded until
it now occupies two blocks, bruits,
vegetables, poultry, dairy foods, in
fact everything produced on the farm
is being sold by the producer direct
■to the consumer at prices that are
compelling grocers to cease carrying -
these foodstuffs. An added incentive
to trade at the public market is the
freshness of the products offered for
sale.

Rounds—Fight Was a Fast
One All the Time.
LONDON, July 8.—Freddie Welsh
was given the decision here last night
in the twenty-round go with Willie
Ritchie, the American champion

and were unusually fast all through
the twenty rounds. Welsh scored
most in the opening rounds, while
Ritchie forced the .fighting in the
first, sixth and seventh rounds and
had the best of It. In the ninth round
Welsh recovered and had the best
of the round, but Ritchie again led
through the thirteenth and fourteenth
and in the final rounds.
The last round was exceptionally
fast. i
When the referee announced the
decision the crowds of Americans be
gan to hoot the verdict, claiming
that Ritchie had had the best of it
ip most of the rounds and that in
the final he had fprced the' fight
ing all the way.
Sporting writers in thl? city all
agree that iti was‘one of the best
scraps ever pulled off in the city and
that Welsh’s title is not secure un
til he again defeats Ritchie. Ar
rangements are being made for a
return match.

Near Bankruptcy.
WASHINGTON, July 8—The Inter
state Commerce Commission, which
has been in session for many months
investigating the application for an
advance of five per cent made by
the railroads of the Uni*ed States,
stand four for granting the advance
and three against it, and the com
