National Athletic Bid of 50 Per

San Francisco, Cal, March 17.-Bids

opened here Saturday night. Billy De-
laney represented Jeffries at the OPEN
Ing. A number of local clubs submitted
bids, but the only outside club to put in
bid was the Century club of Los
Angeles.
The clubs, with the exception of the
Los Angeles club, offered only a straight
percentage of the gross receipts. The
Los Angeles club submitted three pro-
positions: A purse of $25.000, 20 per
cent OF the gross receipts. with a guar

UNJUST AND VICIOUS.
Terms Applied to Ship Subsidy
Bill in Minority Report.

Washington, March Ex-senator Clay,
representing. the minority of the senate
committee on commerce, has pre-
sented the report in opposition to the
pending ship subsidy bill. Most of the
points have been covered in speeches
in the senate. The minority deny the
accuracy of both the predictions and
the facts in the majority report. They
urge that the bill is wrong in principle,
and declare that it will utterly fail in
the accomplishment of its protested OBJ
jects. They also say that while it IS
not SO complicated as the subsidy bill
of the Fifty-sixth congress, it is in some
respects even more Objectionable.
The minority continue: THE bill
proposes to tax the whole people to
the extent of several millions for the
benefit of one single industry. Besides
the statistics of the last two years prove
that the ship building industry does
not need such special assistance, but is
rapidly increasing under natural con-
ditions."
They criticise the feature of the bill
which carries the subsidy for foreign
mails and say:
''The highest rate of subsidy is given
to 2O-knot vessels. while the fast ocean
mails are really carried in. % and "a
knot vessels. The mail compensation
to slow American vessels, already too
high, is made immensely higher by this
bill. We pay more for a weekly service
service by much faster ships than ours"
They further urge that the bill makes
no provision against shipping trust
and claim that it encourages a combi-
nation leading to such a trust. They
also say:
The lines might also merge with for.
eign lines to control freight and pas
senger rates. Thereby our subsidy would
be aiding the foreign partners of our
subsidized vessels"
The report closes by saying:
I'VE know that there are hundreds
and thousands of industries in our
country doing a losing business, but we
deny that congress for this reason can
go into the public treasury and save
them from bankruptcy. We SYN pathize
with all men in the hard struggles of
life but it is not the duty of our gov
eminent to interfere in the private bus
mess affairs of the citizen. We believe
that all men should have an equal and
fair chance in the race for wealth and
happiness-every citizen should bear his
share of the burdens of the government,
one class should never be the recipient
of benefits not given to others. Abso-
lutte equality of rights is a doctrine we
should never abandon. The bill is wrong
in principle, unjust, vicious, pure class
legislation"

Emporia Man Pays $500 Per Foot
For Strip.

Emporia, March 10. NJ. white has
closed deal with A. Haussler in Kan
sas City, for the half lot Just south of
his building on which the Mit-Way wo-

1915 feet he paid $1,000. which makes
$500 per foot Three years ago he paid
$4,000 for the 1215 feet Just south, on
which the White meat market is loca-
ted. This makes $1,000 for one lot with
practically nothing on it, as the two
buildings now on the lot are hardly
worth what it will cost to tear them
down. Eight years ago white paid
81, 100 for the lot on which his present
building is located. At that time it had
a good substantial building on it.
