Young France Returned Winner in
Bout.
By Associated Press.,
Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 2.— Young France
won an unpopular decision last night
in a ten-round bout with Ad Wolgast;
former lightweight champion. C. J.
Kelly, scout for the Detroit American
league baseball team, refereed the bout.
Sporting writers said Wolgast had the
best of six rounds and the audience of
2,500 derided the decision.
Repairs Under Way.
The fireboat Charles Clarke, which
has been in service for Suderman and
Young, tow boat contractors, for the
past several months, has been laid up,
the contract with that firm being com-
pleted. The vessel is now lying at her
berth at Pier 23, where she is under-
going general repairs. A gang of me-
chanics were put to work on her this
morning, taking down the stack and
doing other necessary things. The
guard rail of the vessel will be re-
moved shortly and her steering gear
will be completely overhauled.
The vessel will be placed in the serv-
ice of the Southern Pacific lines about
Sept. 17, and every effort will be made
on the part of the city officials to see
that the work is completed before that
date. The repairs will be rushed as
fast as possible, and they will be made
as complete as possible under the cir-
cumstances.
While the vessel is out of service,
the United States local inspectors of
steam vessels will look over her for
her annual inspection. This will prob-
ably take place as soon as the repairs
have been sufficiently completed to al-
low the inspectors to get an idea of the
shape of the vessel.

TO ATTACK PETROGRAD.
By Associated Press.
Berlin, Sept. 2.—(Via London).—
German reports from Riga declare
that Gen. Gough of the British
army has proclaimed to the popula-
tion of Petrograd that an attack
is about to be made upon that city.
The reports quote the proclamation
as continuing:
“As soon as Petro'grad has been
. freed from bolshevik tyranny, food
will be sent.”

arrived here today aboard the schooner
i Roseway, which had rescued them.
Capt. Jorgensen, master of the Elmir
Roberts, and men of his rew told a
harrowing story of how their schooner,
laden with ammunition and bound from
Bordeaux to New York city, was de-
stroyed by fire following an explosion
in latitude 41 degrees 5 minutes, north,
longitude 62 degrees 18 minutes, west.
The Elmir Roberts was returning from
Bordeaux after her maiden trip.
Capt. Jorgensen said the fire orig-
inated in the engine room following
the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The
flames quickly spread to the hold of
the schooner, where a large amount of
ammunition was stored. He and his
crew, he said, barely had time to take
to the boats when the explosion came,
the entire vessel and her cargo going
up in a burst of flames. At that time
she was approximately 240 miles south-
east by south of Cape Sable.
In the lifeboats Capt. Jorgensen and
the crew of the Elmir Roberts shaped
their course for the Nova Scotian coast.
About 9 o’clock last Saturday night
they were sighted by the schooner
Roseway, of Yarmouth, which was fish-
ing about 110 miles south by east of
Cape Sable. The shipwrecked mariners
were taken aboard the Roseway and
brought to this port.
The Elmir Roberts was a four-masted
schooner. Orange, Tex., was her home
port.
Direct Service Lilkely.
According to recent communications
received from New York, there seems
to be little doubt but that direct cargo
line service will be inaugurated be-
tween Galveston and Japan in the very
near future. Henry Cartwright, third
vice president of the Osaka Shoosen
Kabushi Kaisha, a prominent Japanese
shipping firm, owners of a number of
vessels is credited with the statement
that' such service was likely to be
started in the very near future.
U. Koike, New York manager of the
firm, was in Galveston some time ag<
looking over the facilities here and
looking into the docking arrange-
ments, and also into the feasibility of
booking cargoes for Japanese ports to
be shipped via the port of Galveston,
and he was more than pleased with the
prospects in view here. He spent
some time in inspecting the water front
facilities,, both developed and undevel-"
oped, and he saw enough promise in
the port to warrant his recommenda-
tion of the inauguration of immediate
service.
The exports to Japan will consist
chiefly of cotton and steel. Equalization
of rates from the Eastern steel cen-
ters to Galveston were looked to to
begin the movement of commerce to
the Orient through this port, and
now that this is almost a reality, there
seems to be no further obstacle in the
way of the development of this traf-
fic.
Mr. Cartwright in his published
statement predicts outright that such
a service will be inaugurated, and in-
asmuch as there is some competition
promised, there seems to be little doubt
but that the service will be started
with as little delay as possible. There
are several Japanes firms which have
looked into the facilities here, and it
has been the concensus of opinion
among the representatives of each of
them that the one first on the ground
will have the advantage in handling
the traffic.

Two Japanese commissioners, repre-
senting the imperial Japanese govern-
ment, are in Galveston today confer-
ring with local interests with the ob-
ject in view of perfecting better trade
relations between the Japanese empire
and the United States. The two Jap-
anese representatives are Chuzo Seki-
hara, secretary of the department of
finance, imperial Japanese government,
and Noburo Tateishi, trade commis-
sioner of the imperial Japanese govern-
ment. The two gentlemen were taken
in charge by officials of the Gosho Cot-
ton company, a new Japanese firm
which only recently opened offices here.
This afternoon at 3 o’clock the two
commissioners will meet with officials
of the Galveston Commercial Associa-
tion. Members of the traffic and com-
merce committee of the association
will be present at this conference and
detailed information will be given the
commission on matters in which they
are interested. They have made a tour
of the greater portion of the impor-
tant cities of the West and Middle
West, only recently coming to Texas,
where they have visited several cities
in the northern part of the state. It
has been the regular course of the
commission to confer with the commer-
cial organizations in the towns in which
they have stopped in an effort to find
out more important things about the
business methods in the cities of this
country. It is their intention on their
return to their own country to recom-
mend various changes in the methods
of doing business, patterning their new
plans on the method existent in the
United States.
They are particularly interested in
this port. New Japanese corporations
have started their business here and
I several Japanese boat lines have an-
i nounced their intention of starting
regular lines operating between Gal-
veston and Japan during the coming
fall season, cotton and steel being the
chief exports to that country. For this
reason they were particularly anxious
to make the trip to Galveston in order
to investigate business ‘ connections
here and to look over the facilities of
the port.
The two men forming the commission
have been very favorably impressed
with the few things which they had
witnessed during the forenoon.

74 at Menard park tomorrow evening.
A concert in their honor has been ar-
ranged by the local and has received
the approval of Mayor Sappington. The

of the nation’s need.
The program will begin at 8 o’clock
Wednesday evening and will be con-

cal as a whole the best of music can
be counted on. The number of instru-
ments will exceed the usual number
in a concert band, as several Galveston
nonprofessional musicians will assist
the local.
Announcement , of the concert was

of the local to give the returned sol-
diers and sailors music that they will
appreciate.
Mayor H. O. Sappington who is as-
sisting the local in its arrangements,
said this morning that he wanted every
ex-service man or man at present in the
service, to be present at the park, to
hear the music and enjoy getting to-
gether. He said in particular that the
ladies should be brought to the concert
and promised that the old auditorium
will be available for use in case in-
clement weather interfered with an
out-door program.

given by any organization in honor of
returned soldiers.
