LONG TROOPER SLAIN; MYSTERY VEILS SHOOTING

First Death in Louisiana’s Martial Law Regime Under Inquiry. Bit r nitrti f’re BATON ROUGE. La.. Feb. 15.—A military court of inquiry was reported to be investigating today the fatal shooting of Corporal Hugh J. Belanger late yesterday at National Guaid headquarters in Peabody Hail. He was 24. Secrecy surrounded the affair. A strict censorship was clamped on by military authorities immediately after Belanger was shot. Another guardsman is alleged to have done the shooting. Maj. W. D. Shaffer of the National Guard, to whom all questions about the matter were referred, said the shooting was "accidental.” Belanger, it was learned, was shot four times in the stomach, when an automatic rifle in the hands of another guardsman was fired. He died within 25 minutes after the shooting. His death was the first fatality in Louisiana's latest political upheaval. With other guardsmen he had been stationed in Baton Rouge to enforce the unqualified martial law over East Baton Rouge Parish. CAR BREAKS THROUGH ICE: FOUR MEN DROWN Auto, Driven on to Lake.

Willie Yap, Boxing Idol, Wages Fight for Life Gamester, Who Met All Comers With a Smile, 111 at Transient Bureau With Tuberculosis.

WILLIE YAP vs. Tuberculosis! It's Willie's greatest fight. But there is no manager, no cheering crowd, and. most important of all, no gate receipts. Willie is broke. And Willie, who never smoked and never drank, is flat on his back at the 227 N. West-st Transient Bureau Center—a waning victim of tuberculosis.

Those arms of his that flailed so swiftly as he battered opponents in more than 200 fast, ha.’d ring battles are wasted to sticks —sticks that will barely pull his wasted hands off the counterpane. His voice is so weak one must bend over to hear him whisper: "I go to sanatorium. Six weeks good training. I make comeback.”

WILLIE smiles then. He’s never heard of the branch of vital statistic records that gathers the loose ends and closes the public biographical records of Transient House inmates—all in one line of tiny type. When Willie was getting headline type around here in 1930 and 1931, he was noted for his fighting heart, his flashing fists in the

ring and his mild, naive, gentle personality out of the ring. Willie is half Chinese, but when he went into the ring he pawned his heritage of Oriental fatalism for the love of the fight, and he's apparently lost the redemption ticket. “Six weeks good training, I make comeback!” An old man with a white beard spraying over his ragged vest occupies the next bed to Willie’s. His occidental summary of Willie’s case is summed up in one sentence, too! ‘‘l saw Willie fight before he got sick—during his ring days.” # n n THAT'S about all there is to the 25-year history of Willie Yap, written, mostly, on the sports pages in those days when he fought “One-Round” Bess, “Toughy” Mitchell and Jackie Coogan and the rest for the amusement and entertainment of sports fans. Chances are that Willie will be in the Sunnyside Sanatorium within a few days. Traffic officer Robert Dennis, his friend, has arranged that. Last August Willie returned from a barnstorming fight tour that took him all over the south.

“To be or not to be?” seems to be the question absorbing Yvonne as she sits in this Hamlet-like pose, gravely chews on a teething ring, and wonders, no doubt, when those hidden little white teeth are actual ly going to appear.

He was broke, though, and so he got work at the Transient Center. Then he got a cold—then tuberculosis. Now he can't pull his slender body out of bed without help.
