BANTAM TITLE NOW
JIMMY WILDE'S GOAL
King of Little Fellows After
More Laurels.
HERMAN IS CHALLENGED
Britisher Agrees to Meet Sew
Orleans Italian at 118
Pounds Ringside.
NEW YORK, May 2. Jimmy Wilde
is not satisfied merely with be
ing the world's flyweight titleholder.
He has been king of the little fellows
for ever so long, and now he seeks
further laurels and prestige that oi
annexing the bantam crown, which
would make him a double ring cham
pion. The Welsh wonder expects to
Sret an opportunity to step onto the
throne now occupied by Petey Her
man, and then wee Jeems says he will
tow away the mittens, retiring unde
feated flyweight-bantam boss.
Wilde is going to box Champion
Herman, at 118 pounds ringside, some
time this summer, if the New Orleans
Italian doesn't mind a little thing like
experiencing seasickness. G e o r g
Cochran, English Impresario, is novl
angling for the match.
Boat to Be SO Rounds
In the event of a match between
Wilde and Herman it will be a 20
rounder, to be determined in London
Jimmy said he had already consented
to meet the American, the Interna
tional Sporting club was to be tho
acene of the battle, a date in July or
August was to be chosen, and tin
only necessary hing to bind such a:
International and intrachamplonship
contest was for Sammy Goldman to
sign up on behalf of Herman.
Wilde has accumulated a fortune
through the master work of his hands.
He has been boxing for about a dozej
years, even though he doesn't show the
least evidence of such a lengthy ca
reer in the way of marks on his face
- and he admits that he la getting
tired of the ring.
"I want to retire-- and expect to do
o before the end of 1920," said Wilde
yesterday. "Before ending my box
ing days, however, I would like to
try for the bantam championship. I
bave already agreed to meet Herman
for Mr. Cochran in London. If I get
this chance I hope to win that title,
and then as flyweight-bantam cham
pion I would quit the ring, for all
times."
Wilde to Remain Here.
Although the little Britisher intend
ed returning to England for Queen
Victoria's birthday. May 24, which is a
great holiday and occasion for much
celebration in Great Britain, he has
decided to remain on this side of the
Atlantic for the purpose of partic
ipating in several more bouts. He
expects his last contest before start
ing for his home In Wales to be put
on in Toronto, Can., on or about May
24, at the same time celebrating the
queen's birthday in that city.
The Welshman may box again in
Philadelphia before he leaves the
country. He said that he might show
there in another bout on his birthday,
May 12, on which date he will have
reached the age of 28. Jimmy's next
bout is scheduled for May 1 at Law
rence, Mass., where he will meet Bob
by Dyson in an open-air match,
f While the Dyson match is the only
fetinite contest for which Wilde is
Scheduled, he believed that he would
aidulge in at least three other con
tent) before leaving for his native
landV One of these bouts is to be an
exhibition before an audience of
American soldiers at Lakewood, N. J.
The Briton is in good condition, other
than a slightly hurt right hand, which
injury, he said, he suffered in his re
cent match with the Zulu Kid. This,
Jimmy said, somewhat handicapped
bim against Battling Murray on
Wednesday night.
In speaking of Jack Sharkey, Wide
aid that he probably would meet the
New Yorker in England. For this
match the little Englishman believed
be could get a flat guarantee of $50,
000 at the International Sporting club
but if Herman signs to box him in
London, Wilde said he would not take
n any other contests.
"I have enjoyed meeting your Amer
ican boys," said Wtlde just before he
boarded a train. "It is so much more
trying to win rather than trying to
etay the limit. Wallace and Murray

WHEN Henry Murtagh pleased
Portland "institution" children
. by having his giant Wurlitzer
forget the masters and grand opera
and come down tq the interpretation
of dogs, cats, pigs and donkles, the
kiddies were vastly pleased. But
when Cecil Teagvie. organist at the
Majestic, where Mack Sennett's five
reel comedy "Down on the Farm" is
showing, did the same stunt on his
instrument it was the grown-ups who
literally howled their delight.
All the sounds of the barnyard are
woven into a number of popular rustic
melodies such as "Turkey in the
Straw" and others which form an
original arrangement of Mr. Teague's,
being played jn connection with
"Down on the Farm."' A huge yellow
straw and a buff linen duster which
Mr. Teague wears helps to give proper
"atmosphere." Manager, musicians
and the boys employed about the the
ater also are dressed farmer style,
while the ushers wear checked e-ins--
ham dresses and . pigfails have re
placed marcels.
"Down on the Farm" Is ' clean,
wholesome fun from start to finish.
A bit of slapstick has been injected
as well as considerable burlesque, but
every feature-and it has many, all
mirth-provoking has been dealt with
In an original, artistic and skillful
manner. As a whole it surpasses any
other Mack Sennett production, for
"Yankee Doodle in Berlin" cannot
compare with it and "Mickey" is a
different type.
Teddy, the great Dane which has
appeared in Mack Sennett comedies
from time to time, has the stellar
role, although It Is exploited as a
Louise Fazenda-Ben Turpin co-star
ring vehicle.
Teddy is a farm hand, faking the
cows out to pasture and then playing
valet to them as to the geese, the
horses and even the small children of
the neighborhood The one serious
moment in the entire production is
when a wee tot bravely walks out on
narrow board suspended over a
foaming dam.
Just as in the case of all melo
dramas, he is" locked in and requires
super force before extracting himself
and the small hero in danger. Upon
being released he races to the dam,
rushes out on the Loard, picks the
child up and carries it bravely to
the other shore and safety.

The first news- which has been re

age was as follows:
"A little frog sat on a log with his
hair combed in the middle.
Came a fish, made a wish and told the
frog a riddle.
The froggle laughed and winked his

For he was just a baby, one year old

In "Madame X," the latest produc

been made of the Court of Assizes in
Bordeaux. Not satisfied with his own
research, Frank Lloyd, director, se
cured the services of a learned French
man to help with the scene construc

SUGAR SHORTAGE IS
TRACED TO TRADERS
Speculators Held Responsible
for Situation. .
FEDERAL ACTION URGED
National Wholesale Grocers' Asso
ciation Believes Government

The National Wholesale Grocers'
association. In a comprehensive state-
rrrent of conditions in the sugar mar
ket, points the finger of accusation
at those that are held responsible for
u u vi it-co ul susar. 4110 gov
ernment is held negligent in not hav
ing used the power granted by the
Lever act to curb speculators since
the great advances set in, and is ac
cused of too hastily abandoning Mr.
Hoover's policy of control before the
L;ver act was adopted. The refiners
who have turned their plants to toll
work in refining stocks of raw sugar
for speculators are held accountable
in part for the boosting of prices.
Hope for relief is seen in the con
ference called oy the department of
justice at Washington, and it is hoped
the government will exercise the
power granted under the Lever act.
Failure of the United States to take
control of the raw sugar in Cuba by
purchase of the whole crop when it
could have been acquired at less than

day is declared to be chiefly respon
sible for the- shortage in this country
at this time.
Situation Serious One.
The communication Issued from
the New York office of the associa
tlon under date of April 22 and re
ceived by Portland members Friday
in part follows:
"That the sugar situation is critical
admits no denial. From every part
of the country, wholesalers and re
tailers, as ' well as consumers, -are
complaining, of inability to get enough
tor tneir needs. But the excited way
In which soma of the scramble for
sugar presents . Itself suggests that
perhaps the excitement has become
one of the very causes of the trouble,
and a little more calmness and pa
tience, would help the situation. Here
are some of the salient points:
"Sugar is not to be had in sufficient
Quantities and regular supply from
refiners, even for their long-time
regular customers.
"Speculators, brokers and parties
wholly outside the wholesale and re
tail grocery trade are offering sugar
at fancy prices, 2, 3 and even 4 cents
above the refiners' nominal prices,
for immediate carlot delivery.
No Surpluses Available.
"Refiners complain of inability to
buy raw sugars at reasonable prices
at points of origin and consequently
have no surpluses available for de
livery, but most of them are hard at
work refining raws for private own
ers who outbid them .in Cuba and
elsewhere, on a basis of toll fees.
"Not all refiners are agreed as to
the causes of the high prices, and not
all are as frank as might be desired
as to why they are unable to make
regular delivery to their old cus
tomers. "Plainly the speculators are in con
trol of the refined surpluses of sugar,
while the Cuban owners of raws have
inflated ideas of values entirely out
reason and have sold most of their
crops at prices which give them
enough money to allow them to hold
their unsold portions till buyers will
pay the prices demanded.
"So far as appears, the government
officials who might possibly gain
some control over the situation are
evidently not securing results, and
the refiners generally display a com
placency that perhaps follows nat
u rally from a contemplation of their
bank balances.

DRIVE BEGINS TOMORROW
SALVATION ARMY WORKERS
COMPLETE PLANS TONIGHT.
House-to-House Canvass Will Not
Be Made; Warning Issued
4 Against Fakes.
County chairmen, division captains,
volunteer workers and local minis
ters are expected to attend the Sal
vation Army supper at the Multnomah
hotel at 6 o'clock tonight, at which
time final plans for the Salvation
Army campaign drive for funds will
be made.. John L. sEtheridge, state
chairman for the drive, will preside
and issue his final -Instructions to
the host of workers.
The actual drlv starts tomorrow
morning, and Portland people will be
asked to contribute (142.000 in order
that the programme of this organiza
tion might be carried out in full dur
ing the coming year. An air of con
fidence permeates campaign head
quarters in the rooms of the Portland
Press club. Elks building, and the
leaders confidently expect the people
of Portland to raise the quota In full
during the ten days which have been
allowed for the drive.
The Salvation Army this year has
mapped out a much broader pro
gramme in Portland and Oregon than
ever before in its history. The pur
chase of homes for unfortunate girls
in Portland and for neglected chil
dren at North Yamhill makes It im
perative that a well-filled chest be
provided for the successful carrying
out of these projects.
In order that there might be no re
currence of the impersonation of Sal
vation Army solicitors as was re
ported last week, when some fake
canvasser is said to have collected
a large sum of money on? the pretense
it was for the Salvation Army, Gen
eral Chairman Etheridge yesterday
announced that every volunteer work
er who solicits business firms for
funds will have complete and proper
credentials. Merchants and business
firms generally are cautioned not to
make donations unless these creden
tials are shown.
There will be no house-to-house
canvass of the residential districts, as
the activities of the workers will be
confined to the down-town streets.
With the street speaking and demon
strations which are being planned it
is believed that the need for funds
can be impressed upon the people of
Portland Just as effectively as though
each house In the city were visited.
TWO BODIES NOT FOUND
Efforts to Find Evan R. Thomas
and David B. Thomas Fruitless.
Efforts to locate the- bodies of Evan
R Thomas and David B. Thomas, two
Portland men believed to have been
drowned In the Willamette river at
Oregon City Thursday, were resumed
yesterday by City Grappler Brady but
without success.
Mr. Brady returned to Portland yes
terday afternoon after spending sev
eral hours in fruitless grappling for
the bodies. He reported that the wa
ter was still too swift to grapple sue
cessfully and it apparently would be
necessary to wait until the water
went down considerably before there
could be hope of success.
The two men are believed to have
been drowned while on a salmon fish
ing trip. They rented a boat at Ore
gon City and shortly afterwards the
boat was found floating down the
river in- a damaged condition. They
had apparently rowed too near the
