Corner William NEW YORK SAYS THAT MAYO SHOULD BE TRIED Manufacturer Asks to Be Freed From Examination $101,000 Judgment. Over How Virginius St. Julian Mayo, the New Haven radiator manufacturer, alleged bigamist, slipped through the mashes of the Kings County law ad ministration for almost six months, although he was under bond to stay lr. the Jail limits, came to light today lu Justice Tjizanskv's nart of the Su nreme Court.

Six months ago Mayo was locked up in the civil Jail on an order of arrest based on the Judgment, and after a few days was hailed out.

Mooney told Justlco Lazansky that Mayo wanted to get back to the safety of Connecticut, whore he would be immune from this Judgment, but Mayo's lawyer indignantly denied this. Mr. Mooney also said that District Attorney Lewis should have brought criminal action against Mayo for bigamy. "Complaint wus made long age." said Mr. Mooney, outside of court, "and I intend to find out why nothing was done." Justice Lazansky reserved decision on Mayo's plea for release.

Alfi Prices continued their upward move ments which marked the closing slon of last week, although ut the start of business today changes were mixed, the irregular tone extending only to fro end of the first half hour, after which the general tone: strengthened and gains of from 1 to more than 5 rolnts were scored throughout the active list.

Business was ustaiii In large volume, and scattered throughout a broad list of Issues. Peace was again freely discussed, and opinions expressed on the note that had been sent by Germany further strengthening the view that peace is Imminent. The note, however, is matter that has not yet been settled, and until answer Is made by President Wilson expression of views are retained, rather than to lend misleading Ideas to the situation. More attention was given the war news, however, than to the note sent by Germany, these reports showing that there has been no let-up in the activities fthe Allied forces despite the German attitude toward peace. The fact that Turkey, too, was seeking to Influence President Wilson with its views of peace failed of effect.

Domestic news' was scarce, most in terest being attracted by the interna tional situation as it prevails at. pres ent, Irregularity was pronounced at the start, clue to a drive that was mad atainst the so-called war stocks by the iloor traders, and losses in thl group were general, while the bal nice of the list displayed a nrme tendency. Tho losses scored in th war group, however, were more tha recovered nar the close, and th clincs were turned to gains for tho day Oils were the center of nearly nil interest that was shown today, an for a time these stocks attracted the undivided attention of the Street, by rason of a continuation of the strength that marked the closing sessions last week. Mexican Petroleum was th ofaturo of the group, and rapidly ad vanced during the session into new high ground, and creating the impres- slon that a corner exists in this stock The short interest on each successive movement increases, thereby adding strength to the technical position of thes tock. Other oil stocks were in fluenced by the movement of the lat ter and new high levels tor tno move ment wero scored throughout all of thinl bal.

Railroad stocks improved again and new high levels for the movement were scored in a large part of this list. Outstanding features of this group were Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and Reading, In which gains of from 1 to more than points were srnred before the close of the session Low priced rails and others that have been neglected for some time also moved 1111. and in this croup the Southern Railway Issues' were' promt Stebl stocks, because of their classification in the war stock group, were among the weak features of the early dealings, and it was in these that the l.irirost initianal losses were scored United States Steel at the start showed loss of considerably moro man point, all of which was recovered, and o-nin over the high of last week scored. Other steel stocks were influ eneed to largo extent by the former. International Mercantile Marine nreferred was the feature of the ship ping stocks, this issue moving into new high ground for the present movement and showing a gain of well over 3 points from the final of last week.

Other shipping shares were favorably affected by the strength of this issue, and sharp advances were general. American International Corporation, bv reason of the fact that inrra shinning stocks are held quantity, benefited by the strength of the. shinning group and sold up to a no. hb'h tor the movement. Kveluinire rates today were affected bv the peace talk, new low levels for he movement being recorded In Span ish, Holland, Swiss and Scandinavian exchanges.

Diamona was elected State Committeeman and leader by nine votes, according to elec tlon officials.

Ki'l I'lested, Jerry Shea, mt ft nisi, out noi least, ivia Dovle. The irl HE makers of the handsome Lonsdale challenge belts, the official emblems of the boxing championships of Great Britain, will soon have a busy time fashioning new trophies for competition. Six of the eight championship girdles for the existing tltles'have been won outright by being won by the same man three times, not necessarily in succession. Sgt. Jimmy Wilde has captured the first flyweight belt, while Corp.

Joe Fox made tho second bantamweight belt his own property the first being annexed by Digger Stanley. Sgt. Jim Diiscoll Is the proud possessor of the first featherweight bell, while the second one is at present held by Taney Lee, which he wljl defend when he meets Joe Conn. Fred AVelsh has the first lightweight Lonsdale belt, and the second one is at present waiting for an owner. The welterweight trophy belongs to C.

S. M. Johnny Bashum, now In France, while Sgt. Pat O'Keeffe, C. S.

Dick Smith and C. S. M. Billy Wells have won respectively the middles, light-heavv (cruiser) and heavyweight belts. With the majority of Great Britain's leading boxers now wearing the King's uniform, prospects for the coming season are somewhat problematical.

Dur-imr the season 1917-18 the committee of the National Sporting Club, London, was able to stage several belt matches, but at the time of writing various difficulties present themselves so far as the near future is concerned. licit Matches. The Lonsdale Challenge Belt matches decided last season were as follows: October 6. 1917 Taney Lee (Scotland) beat Charley Hardeastle (Barns-ley), six rounds, for featherweight title. January 23.

1918 Sgt. Pat O'Keeffe (A. G. beat ex-Bandsman Jack Blake (Great Yarmouth), two rounds, for middleweight belt. O'Keeffe making belt his own property.

February 28 Dick Smith (A. G. beat Joe Beckett (K. C), for light heavyweight title, and won belt outright. Jimmy Wilde has stated that he will not take part in any money matches until after the war.

and so far as the 112-pound championship Is concerned there are really no serious contenders capable of dethroning the wonderful Welshman from his place of honor. Several aspirants for premier bantam honors are in the field waiting for their chance, but the best of them 700 Phlla S2 31 2300 Pierce 41 41 Pierce OIL 1834 18 6 10 Pitts Coal. 49 484 23 lOPt4WVlr 37 Vt 30 600 Pro'd Steel 074 67 200 125 124 8)0 Snrlng. 07 00'4 i.iiiii.,, i ii tcnt-ii ti iii iniiuif hibltion against I'lested a fortnight ago. and a competent judge of the game, who had an excellent view of the bout, said that had Doyle Jom-menced his good work earlier, a different result would havo The pair should meet again.

Popular Pat O'Koefo is middle weignt cniimpion, but although he has announced his retirement it is believed that It would take little to coax the. genial Irishman Into the ring to prove, that he is still the best 160 pound boxer in the kingdom. In the light heavyweight or "ertiis. er" class Dick Smith Is practiciillv on his own. He frets at the scarcity of opponents, and wants to meet the bi(f fellows, such us Private Frank (lod.i dard; but Smith can hardly have for-: gotten his reverse In six rounds at the hands of Seaman Arthur Townloy at Liverpool lust Faster.

Supporters of Goddard hold decided views on the possibilities of their protege vanquishing Bombardier Hilly Wells.
