Y., Dec. 32.—Moore to a plier in Erie Basin is a huge old rustpot of a steamship, barnacle encrusted, sticky with mildew and rotten. But three short years ago a thousand persons bullied upon her dreams of an empire, of a huge and wealthy country where they would be better than the best in this country. Some of them have died in their attempt to make their dream a reality; others, after passing safely through compound dangers of drowning and disease, are now scattered along the west coast of Africa, picking up their living as they can, scorned and mistreated in the land where their empire was to be. So ends their faith in "King Sam," the magic tongued African who had woven the scheme that made happy their sleep with soft dreams. For months now they have been awake, and aware that it was all a nightmare. Sam's Scheme Three hundred feet from the spot where she was moored two years ago last spring, the Liberia was tied on Sunday after a dangerous trip from Africa. When "King Sam" was filling some of the newspapers of the Race of this country with his stock selling scheme the authorities got after him quickly, but he was able to point to the vessel in Erie Basin, which he had re-labeled Liberia, as proof of his good faith. So the authorities permitted him to continue, as there was nothing illegal in his methods, and because they more than half suspected that he was honest, although a visionary. His scheme was to transplant members of the Race in America to Africa, where they would build an empire. One share of stock at $25 entitled its purchaser to a free voyage to the empire, where land would be given him. Sam was to be emperor. Money Came Rolling In The British authorities tried to prevent his work, but could do nothing except trumpet warnings in our newspapers. But in spite of that both sexes flooded Sam's office with their subscriptions; he bought the Liberia for about $200,000 in cash. He injected religion into the scheme, and... surrounded... every... commonplace with the mysticisms and formality that our people love. The Liberia, under a crew of members of the Race, few of whom were sailors, steamed to Galveston and there the first load of passengers for Africa was taken aboard. The trip was made; disease claimed a huge toll, others were swept overboard during storms. It was a miracle that the vessel did not founder under her inexperienced crew. She reached Africa, and here Sam sought his kingdom. The land was not WHITE SANTA CLAUS GOT DRUNK St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 22—The most novel Santa Claus in this town pronounces between two, candy stores of C. G. Bango (white), 603 Market street and 1252 South Broadway. Early last week the white merchant decided he could gain much Christmas trade by having a Santa outside his place, so he hired a white man, fitted him up, and everything went fine for a white, until the man faded one night with the uniform. A notice was printed and the fugitive saw the article and got scared and returned the outfit. Bango then advertised for a lazy man. He had lots of replies and finally chose a man. This one got drunk and the things he said aren't fit to print. He got fired! Then Bango hit upon a brilliant idea — a dark Santa Claus. Great. Now his porter, who is a member of the Race, walks up and down the street as Santa and Bango doesn't fear any longer. WANT A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 23—Prominent members of the Race are interested in a movement to petition the circuit judges of the city to appoint a member of the Race as justice of the peace to succeed Justice-Frank Slater (white), who was recently elected to the office of public administrator. Slater is from the fourth constabulary district, in which the majority of the voters are members of the Race. It is believed that with a united effort this appointment can be succeeded. SMOTHERED IN SEED' Forest City, Ark. Dec. 22.—The body of an unidentified member of the Race, badly decayed, was found in a pile of cotton. seed in the seed house of the Forest City Cotton & Oil Mill Co. when part of the seed was removed. Physicians attributed the death to smothering. It is thought he went to sleep beside the pile and that part of the seed fell upon him. Guthrie, Okla., Dec. 23.—Doc Spencer, who for a quarter of a century kept a blacksmith shop at 217 E. Oklahoma street, was found sitting in a chair dead at his home, 514 N. Street, by a woman who did his washing. He had been dead for some hours and was alone, his wife having gone to visit some friends in Muskogee. DR. POOL GOES TO BRAZIL Hearing of the no-color-line in Brazil, and that a man is given a snow for what is in his brain and not for his white face, Dr. Pool, 3345 State street, uncle of Sam Payton, left Tuesday evening for Brazil, where, he will teach in the University of Brazil Medical School. The doctor will visit old college chum in Trinidad en rou forthcoming. The Liberia was anchored while the empire seekers sought work. Sam drifted to a west coast village and soon put such a spell on the natives that they elected chief. Towed All the Way Back When the war multiplied the value of freighters those to whom Sam owed huge sums thought they could get some of it back by bringing the Liberia home. It was hard to find any vessel which would consent to tow her. Finally the G. W. Morse, a wooden tug, went after her, but was never heard from after she left this port. Then on Sept. 17 last the Zealandia, of the Universal Transportation Company left here under Capt. A. W. Barlow. At Barbados her crew sickened of the work and quit. Another crew was shipped and on Oct. 18 she reached the Liberia, then anchored off Animahoe. Some of the barnacles on the old ship's sides were scruped off by native divers; such repairs as could be made were made. An 800 foot 8-inch hawser was made fast and the journey home began. Luckily the weather remained fair, otherwise it is doubtful if the vessel could have remained afloat. The saloon of the Liberia is filled with reminders of Sam. There is the piano, from which camp meeting hymns and ragtime were thumped so much that it gives forth no sound. The liholum on the floor is worn through in a huge circle where the glances were held. Over a door in the rear is a sign "Holy"; King Sam used to meditate in the room behind it. There are scraps of hymns scattered around, some of them inscribed with the names of colonists. "Cotha Bwerly, give to my daughter S.B." "Mr. Fonnie Staples, Paden, Ocala, African Gold Coast, the Negro's Home," are two of the inscriptions. In the pianist's hymnal are written the names of half a dozen girls. In the store rooms are barrels of rotten corn beef, musty hams and milled potatoes.

The crowd cheered the Frostbush pugilist as he waded into his darker opponent. Stigall was unable to score as much as a knock-down over the long route, but he gave Gibbons a punishment that he will remember for weeks to come. Gibbons rushed to stand off, with his long, rangy arms shielding his face and body at the same time from the onward rushes that Stigall made. Stigall carried the fight to Gibbons in every round and had such a fearlessness that only his frequent clenching and covering up saved him from taking the sleep. Stigall not only proved to the fans from Cumberland and elsewhere that he was capable of going over ten rounds, although it has been said that he would have been better off seven sessions of any fight, but he showed that the could go through fifteen rounds of fast fighting. Stigall was like a gum ball in front of Gibbons, but no matter to what angle he would bounce Gibbons on his back, a deformity from blows that would be showered on him. Gibbons simply refused to fight openly and the fans could come to but one conclusion—he was afraid of the many punches that Stigall possessed. He would have been outweighed by Stigall about fifteen pounds. Stigall, after trying without result, almost every trick known to the boxing game in order, to bring the New Yorker from his shell, changed his tactics for the tenth round and sent hisalinizing gloves to the guards until he closed the left eye and had the right looking like a burned hole in a blanket before the gong ended the mill. Not only were his eyes a target for Stigall's punches, but his lips were also decorated with the claret that flowed from his nose almost continuously after the third round.

Batchman > St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 22.—After standing up before a terrific beating for eleven rounds, Battling Jim Johnson of New York succumbed in the twelfth in his bout with Sam Langford of Boston at the Future City Athletic Club last Wednesday. The men are of the heavyweight considerably over 200 pounds, while Langford is just under the mark. A fusillade of short punches in the middle of the final round had the effect of dropping the tired Johnson to the floor, and then dropping the tired Johnson after Referee Harry Sharpe had finished the count of ten. None of these blows had enough "steam" behind them to have dropped the New Yorker in the earlier round. Johnson was virtually out standing on his feet, the fact being that he was as much pushed to the floor as knocked down, but on falling his head hit the mat, for Johnson was still standing. About the best thing that can be said for Johnson is that he took a fearful walloping and was "game", despite the fact that he held on for a dear life after the first few punches, but then natural for him to clench to the best of his ability under the circumstances. It is true that he managed to get over the punches in Langford, but they were few and hard to parish to the punishment laid out by VANDALS VANQUISH ST. SIMON QUINTET VANDALS VANQUISH ST.

YOUNG JACKSON VS. LEWIS Shrewsbury, La., Dec. 22. Young Peter Jackson and Kid Lewis will fight Christmas ave. Battling Brown and Kid Teco will mix it as will Jack Wright and Plerson. James Wilkerson Street New Orleans, La. CHECKERS OF POLISH THE SOUTH, w for a reefer the Boston "Tar Baby." Johnson scored a number of left fabs that had a sting to them, and occasionally got over a light bounce. Sucked Sandy in no wise appealed to him and did not in the least stop his aggressiveness. Langford went down in the third-round and was given the count of two, but in my opinion, it was from slipping instead. Langford boxed just in contrast to Johnson and fought fair all the way and gave the packed house a good run as well as Johnson a very fine trimming. Langford, in the fight category, even pummelled Johnson's face with the loop-the-loop punch as James; was desperately hugging the Boston man in an effort to escape pum- nery every one of these blows scored, nearly every one of his spatter. Although much taller and heavier, Johnson found it even a hard task to clinch effectively, so determined was Langford to win on a knock-out once he saw reflections of galving victory by that route. The rounds were mostly a repetition of each other. Langford doing the work gon- face, he would shoot out left to the face, left hand to the back, ach and occasionally bring over a right, and then Johnson would clinch. In the to the round Langford put the New Yorker to the left hook followed by a right cross being the punches that sent Jimmy to the floor. These punches appeared to have more in the twelfth that florid John had not as yet suffered the punishment that he later was forced to undergo, and the strength to get up, although he had to do so, holding on to pull, through the round. Johnson surprised all by coming back strong in the next round and had a shade, the better of this stanza, the only one that he could be awarded. He shot in three hard lefts and a couple of right crosses that hard Langford, although not causing Sammy Dixon to beat the Boston man. Instead, getting over a number of hard blows himself. It was the best round of the contest. Two other bouts and a battle royal made the balance of the card. In the semi-final, Dixon was given the decision over Izzy Snyder rounds by Sammy Dixon, who referred the preliminaries. In the opening event Young Costello won from Alligator Kid in eight rounds. Among the captors were Jim Flynn, known as the "Fighters'eman," of Denver, and Jimmy Duffy of N.Y. X. (all white) who meets Young Denny of New Orleans at the Collegium. COOGAN BOXES DRAW WITH LEO JOHNSON New York, Dec. 22.—Leo Johnson and Mel Coogan (white) fought a ten-round draw in the feature bout at the Clermont on Thursday night. Coogan fought a nine half, only Johnson's cleverness and his ingenuity earned him a draw. It was a very good draw to watch as both men were clever and fast and fought hard. In the fifth round, Johnson injured his right hand when he hit Coogan on the elbow. "This showed the colorado man at his best, but he fought fast and boxed at his best, but he avoided trouble. Coogan did most of the hard punching, save on two or three occasions, when Johnson put some stiff blows across, but fast as Coogan and fast as he boxed, Johnson was a bit the better in both respects and this discounted Coogan's superior hitting. YOUNG HICKS QUITS TO WILLIAMS IN SEVEN New York, Dec. 22 — Young Hicks in the seventh round of his bid with K. O. Lew Williams at the Yankerbilt A. C. Friday night. He claimed he had broken his right hand. About six seconds before the bell rang ending the game, he crashed a right swing over him. Hicks was down. The bell rang white he was still down. When Hicks got to his corner and was received, the referee was called over and asked to examine Hicks' hand. Hicks said he would not continue fighting. The bout ended even up to that time. Hicks had put Williams down twice in the fifth. Young Mitchell defeated Lee Barry, in four rounds. Young Thompson won from Young Martin and Young Hyder won from Young Packey McFarland.
