WITNESS SAID KING WAS SLAIN IN BATTLE. Testimony tending to establish that Benjamin King .of Wilmington, N. C., i was killed in action in France instead iof having been lynched at a stockade near Paris at the direction of “Hard j Boiled” Smith, was given by Varney E. Wells, Wilmington, N. C, formerly a sergeant of Company G. 119th Infantry. “I have no direct proof that King was killed,” Wells said, “but he jumped off with his squad during a battle Sept. 29, 1918. His number one and two men were killed and I concluded King was killed, too. "On Dec. 10, 1918, I met of Druid, N. C., in London anil he told me he had seen King blown to pieces. King was reported missing. “I saw King just before we jumped off in that battle.” Richard Sullivan of Somerville, Mass., related a story -similar to that told by Rufus V. Hubbard, a former witness, who said bodies of two negro soldiers, unearthed in a cemetery in France, had ropes around their necks and black caps over their heads. He denied, however, that the caps were left on their heads or that the bodies were sent back to supposed relatives without proper identification.

Not even the high school and college basket-ball, football and baseball games and track meets would be exempt. It had been gen eraliy understood that the ordinance was to create a boxing commission. Instead, through a provision that gives the commission the right to make such rules and regulations as it deems necessary, the commission, wore the ordinance to pass, omild, if it ever so desired, crush the life out of the tine amateur sports, it was pointed out by some who read the measure. Section one of the ordinance sets out that it shall be unlawful “to hold public exhibitions of boxing, wrestling or other athletic contests of skill where an admission fee is charged or where admission is gained by membership in any club, lodge or association.” unless tbe provisions of the ordinance are complied with.

The commission shall make such rules as it deems advisable. A license fee of $lO shall be charged for each per mit, the applicant agreeing to pay also to the city controller 5 per cent of the gross admission recei.its. It is made the duty of the controller to see that the proper amount is paid into the city gen oral fund. The ordinance defines a boxing contest ns “an exhibition of skill between two contestants of equal weight who do not engage in such contests for any prize or portion of the financial receipts, and who receive as pay for their services only a flat sum designated to cover their ex penses of training, time ami labor involved. Boxing contests shall not exceed ten rounds of three minutes each and shall be governed by the rules ifha regulations governing such contests in the Army and Navy of the United States. “Not more than two permits of boxing nd wrestling shall be issued monthly and no two contests shall be given upon the same night or within the same week of any month unless special permission ehal’ be given by the athletic commission wit j the approval of the mayor." The mayor is given tije power to revoke any permit. The chief of police is given supervision of all contests and a fine of not more than S2OO provided for violation of the ordinance. The ordinance was referred to the publac safety committee. CHANGES ASKED IN JITNEY ORDINANCE Not enough of the jitney elimination ordinance Would be left to mnke it recognizable, if the amendments to it, introduced by President Bernd upon request of the Indianapolis Jitney Drivers’ Association, are passed.

HOTEL INQUIRY DELAYS PHONE RATE HEARING Engineers lo Investigate Muddle Involving Private System. Ilenring of the Indiana B* ll Telephone Company’s petition asking for a modification of the public service commission’s order requiring the telephone company to furnish physical connections with the Claypool Hotel was continued today until after the commission's engineers can make an investigation of the telephone property of the hotel. The petition, filed by the telephone company in March, 1921, asks that the commission set aside its order and allow it to purchase or lease the telephone property of the hotel. All the telephone equipment inside the hotel is owned by the Claypool company. Prior to the commission’s order requiring the telephone company to furnish physical connections to all companies operating their private exchanges, the Central I'nion Telephone Company refused to give service to the hotel company. The Indianapolis Telephone Company, which later was merged wfth the Central Union, gave the hotel company connections with the other subscribers of the city. After the merger was promulgated, tho hotel company filed ape tition, asking the company be required to give service to tbe hotel. This petition was approved. TIA-ough the unification of ihe automatic and the manual telephone systems, the telephone company, according to attorneys for the hotel company, hopes to force the hotel company to sell Its property to it. The hotel company, according to Us attorneys, Is willing to make any changes in the present system of the hotel service So that It will meet with the requirements of the unified service system. The commission took under advisement the motion of the telephone company to set aside Its order until engineers of the commission can make a complete investigation of the hotel system. After the commission acts on the motion to set aside its order it must determine the kind of service and the rates which the hotel company must pay for service.
