Both arose out of a street fight which occurred on Third avenue on Tuesday evening. Tellino is charged by police with dis- orderly conduct. Magistrate Atkinson remanded that charge at a hearing yesterday. Later during the day Tel- lino was charged with assault occa- sioning actual bodily harm. The charge was laid by Martin Ivansxak. On June 25 Tellino is scheduled to fight Jimmy Webster, South African, ‘m’the Mcintyre Arena. 'Whether or not he will be able to keep that boxing engagement depends. no doubt. on the disposition of the charges against him. when they are heard in police court on Tuesday. Bail was set at $100 cash for Tellino but up until this morning he had not been able to raise that amount and was still in jail here. JAPAN DEMANDS WITHDRAWAL Two other men are charged with dis- orderly conduct as. the result of the street fight in which Tellino was in- vplved. They are James Mills and Hector M‘a'rlscott. ,Later‘ On Tuesday evening there was a minor disturbance in the Empire pire Hotel. As: a result of that Edward Hitt was charged with dirorderly con- duct.

Fierce fighting is reported around Beaumont. While the French did not admit that the city of .Rheims had been captured they did admit that Germans swept past. that city to cross the Marne River at Ghateau-Thierry. Meanwhile, Great Britain is rushing troops, tanks. guns and amunition across the English Channel with all possible speed. British and Polish troops from Norway were rushed to the continent and every available gun, tank and man is being sent to aid the French. A French counter attack north of Paris drove the section of German forces which had approached closest to the city back for five miles yester- Two new classes have been called up for today in Great Britain. Number of men affected will be approximately 600.000. . . The number of reinforcements is said to be in the thousands. A military spokesman said today that it seemed impossible for Great Britain to send thirty divisions but send them she must. If the nation could. said the Spokesman, the war was won for the Allies. Five thousand Allied troops were re- ported captured at St. Valenciennes by the Germans. The body of men was surrounded, it was reported, and had run out of food and ammunition. Prime Minister Winston Churchill was expected to make a statement to- day. Yesterday Churchill had an audience with the King after his re- turn from Paris where he conferred with Premier Renaud, General Wey- gand, Marshall Petain, General Sir Dill and War Minister Anthony Eden. Complete agreement on future Allied plans was reported. A mine belt has been laid around Sicily by Italian naval fences. It is designed, military observers believe. to cut the Mediterranean in half. Meas- ures have been taken to hurry the passage of nonâ€"Allied steamers through the channel. . Italians Lay Mine Belt in Region 0f Sicily and Malta The belt is said to extend from the French Tunisian coast north to the coast of Sardinia and then southeast to Sicily. Malta is reported to be com- pletely boxed. The possibility of trouble in local hotels or other Italian-owned places of business, caused through ill-ad- vised patriotic enthusiasm, is a factor which has received the serious con- sideration of not only the Timmlns Police Department but also the Tim- mins Auxiliary Police Force. First outbreak occurred on Third Avenue on Tuesday night when hot words developed into a street brawl. After a tactic encounter two men were led away by police. A. third man. “Tops" Tellino, local boxer. was later picked up. He faces a charge or dis- orderly conduct, arising out of the same altercation. Later during the evening pol- ice were called to the beverage room of the Empire Hotel. They responded to the call in a hurry inasmuch as they had been prepared for trouble from that source. Fortunately. they arrived in time and the would-be bel- ligerents were hustled off to their homes. Some of them may be charged. Chief of Police Leo. H. Gagnon is- sued a statement to-day to the effect that disorder in beverage rooms will not be tolerated. He etated that it anyone makes trouble steps will imme- diately be taken to put him on the “black list" or. in other words. to cut on his beer and liquor privileges. So far the few disturbances which have occurred have been of a trivial nature. Measures have been taken to make certain that trouble of a. more serious: nature does not break out.
