...bristle-whiskered jaw of Henry Latham Doherty, eloquent master of far-flung Cities Service Co., clamped shut with satisfaction last week upon a decision in the Shawnee County Court at Topeka, Kan. It was the end of the third round in the great utility championship bout between Cities Service and the State of Kansas, and the round was Tycoon Doherty's.

One was a shaky, timid Negro, the other a slow-footed, lumbering white man with a scarred face and a flat nose. In the first round, the Negro fell without being hit, then, in the second, took a left hook on the face and was counted out. Like most cheap preliminaries, it was mediocre entertainment and the crowd booed. Unlike most cheap preliminaries, it was described at length in metropolitan...
