LOUIS WINS 16THFIGHT LAST NIGHT Bout with Tony Musto Is Stopped in Ninth Round of Scheduled Ten ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 9. — Joe Louis last night chalked up another| win as he was given a decision over Tony Musto, the 16th unsuccess-| ful challenger for the heavyweight championship. H The contest was halted” in one minute and 36 seconds after the ninth round, of a scheduled 10- rounded, opened. The referce stoppéd the fight because Musto's face was badly battered and blood was preventing clear vision of his eyes. Musto was still absorbing pun- ishment but was on his' feet when the bout was stopped. Musto was floored only once by the Brown Bomber and that was in the third round when he was on the floor for only the count of Louls looked less impressive than usual. Musto weighed in at 199's pounds and Louis weighed 203'% pounds. to a radiogram received by Secre- tary M. H. Sides from Mrs, Back, residing at 1711 Appleton, Long Beach, Cal.

These were the years in which pro- hibition sentiment was < becoming articulate in local debating — one of the earliest memories the Sena- tor retained. “Saloons were everywhere,” he said. “Drinking was practically uni- versal. The ‘treating’ habit was vicious—people would linger, and 50 the brawls would starf. Liquor was a menace to the peace.” Social Reforms It was in this atmosphere that the lad formed his first opinions for the eradication of alcohol, which he later. called “the heart of the prohibitfon matter—a habit-form- ing drug, like opium, destructive to human health, morals and charac- ter, a_menace to society.” For_him there was only one side to the question. In his ideology pro- hibition of liquor was the best of possible - social reforms. Working as a night watchman in the state capitol in Austin, young Sheppard helped himself through his last_years at the University of Texas, where he received an aca- demic and a law degree. He bor- rowed money to attend the Yale law school, Graduated in 1898, he went_into his father’s law firm. The elder Sheppard, serving his third year as United States Repre- sentative, died in 1902. The son was called upon to take his place. He was elected for a full term as well as’ that unexpired, and re- mained in the House for 10 years. Then ‘Senator Joseph W.

He was in- variably in’ good humor, -always had time to listen to a good story, and delighted in telling one. He kept uncommon good health al- though he had little time for his one exercise, golf. Usually he wore a light grey or blue grey sack suit. On prohibition’s birthday, he would put on formul morning attire and address the Senate. His colleagues would listeri to him and shake his hand after- ward even though some of them might not have agreed with any- thing he said. He kept a diary of his doings, assiduously marking himself pres- ent at the sessions. Once for seven years that little black book showed a perfect attendance record, ses- sion by session. For his whole serv- ice his absences averaged less than one day a year. He was always prompt. A ‘“regular” Democrat through- out, Senator Sheppard was well equipped for his work. He made special studies, in the House, on tariff, agriculture and waterways problems. ‘In" the cubbyholes that formed a sort of ‘caticomb along one wall of his office, he kept his own references on & score or more subjects in which he took a spec- ial interest. ————————— MITCH DABO VACATIONS Mitchell Dabo, owner of the Gasti- neau Cafe, sailed for a short vaca- tion trip to Sitka yesterday after- noon on. the North Sea.
