ANALOSTANS LEAVE
FOR RICHMOND

The picked eight of the Analostan club
which is to meet the fast-going crew of the
Virginia Boat Club in a mile and furiong
race on the James river, at Richmond will
leave on the early train Saturday, arriving
at Richmond in time for dinner and rest
before the race in the afternoon.
Coach Plaisted went down on an early
train this morning in order to see that the
shell they are to row In is properly rugged
as the men will not have chance to try it

held up for the first half mile. and from
there they increased it up to the forty-four,
which they carried through to the finish
their blade work being exceedingly clean
while the men pulled the stroke through
with good strong yank that kept the shell

KEYES GETS DRAW
WITH TOMMY MURPHY

NEW YORK. July 26-Tommy Murphy
of Harlem and Bert keyes of Philadelphia
and New York fought one of the prettiest
and fastest six-round draws ever contested
in this locality last night at the Crown Ath-
letic Club in Brooklyn
Nearly two thousand members were pres
ent, and SO fast and clevery did the boys
fight that not for an instant during the six
rounds was there a lull in the crowds en-
thusiasm. Scores of blows were landed by
each, and the majority of them would have
knocked out a less rugged undertrained
boy.
Several times during the bout each was
on the point of scoring a victory, but just
when victory seemed within the grasp of
one the other became the aggressor and got
as near success as his opponent had been
only an instant before.
Both boys had trained hard for this bout
and were in the best of condition. Murphy
on his past performances was the favorite,
but keyes had a large following: but in
their admiration for the fighting displayed
by both the crowd forgot about wagers and
being partisans and cheered each.
Reyes had a shade the better of the first
round. After they had clinched twice with
out landing telling blows the Philadelphia
lad launched risht-hand swing to Muir
ply s jaw. second later he shot a hard
left to the same place. Murphy followed
changed hard rights and lefts to the face
and jaw. Keyes then landed two rights
to Murphys jaw and received slight right
to jaw and left to stomach. Keyes then
landed hard right on Murphy's eye, which
caused the Harlemite's optic to swell to an
immense size.
Murphy rushed his opponent at the start
of the second round and landed a right and
left to head and stomach. After they
clinched Reyes shot a right to the stomach
and Murphy landed a left to face and a
right to the stomach. keyes missed a right
swing and they mixed it on the ropes.
changing several hard rights and lefts to
the jaw. Murphys landed the better and
he had the better of the mxup.
After each had landed a few slight blows
to face and body Murphy again forced
keyes to the ropes. Then one of the pref
test exchanges of blows seen here in years
took place. They pummeled each other
with let's and rights to the face head, jaw
and stomach with such rapidity that the
thumps could not be counted. FULLY twenty
blows were struck by each.
The fourth round was about even, each
landing many hooks, jabs and swings to the
face. jaw and body. In the fifth Murphy
landed four blows to the stomach and four
to the face while they were clinChed and a
slight uppercut to the chin. They went to
the ropes and exchanged at least twenty
hard blows. They struck each other with
lightning speed and remained there until
both were nearly exhausted The bell pre-
vented any more fighting after they were
parted.
In the final round both fought fast and
cleverly. A draw would have been the only
possible verdict.

The Sherman antitrust law makes
criminal in these general terms any agree
ment in restraint of trade In the United
States or with foreign nations Now. it is
Indefinite in its description of a crime And
being indefinite in it's description of the
crime, the business community Is in doubt
as what Is criminal. Now. when ii is in
doubt as to what is criminal when the ma
ture OF the crime is not fixed in the minds
or the business community. the scrupulous
man refrafnS from action and the unscrupu-
lous man takes it with greater impunlty.
The result is that the Sherman antitrust
law today diScriminateS against purely use
full, beneficial agreements in restraint OF
trade and encoura ges-directiy encourage
injurious agreements in restraint or trade.
In addition to this object Whlch the
Sherman antitrust law has there are one
or two other very serious consequences
which follow from that law. OF nee essity,
under such an act. such wide latitude of
discretion is given to the executive officers
of government in their right to proceed
against persons and corporations that in the
enforcement of this law the appearance of
favorttism is made inevitable.
IF real progress IS TO be made toward
the solution of the veXed industrial prob
lens which confront the nation this law
should be amended as TO clearly define
what shall constitute illegality in trade
agreements In addition, it should be
amended so that trade agreement
whether an agreement in restraint OF
trade or not. may. prior TO its consumma-
ton. be considered by a commission in its
relations TO the public interest

ANTITRUST LAW DEFECTIVE.
Charles G. Dawes Discusses It's Short
comings at Bankers Convention.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 26-An ad
the Wisconsin Bankers Association yester-
day afternoon by Charles G. Dawes of Chi
cago, who spoke on The Defects of the
Sherman Antitrust Law" Mr.. Dawes
spoke, in part, as follows:
There are two kinds Of agreements in
restraint of trade-those which are bene-
fetal to the public well as those which
are injurious. ~ agreement in restraint
of trade not sell below cost is not of
necessity disadvantage and of injury to
a community, for certainly we have heard
great deal recently about great nstitu-
tons underselllng for period Of time in
certain localities selling below cost for the
purpose or crushing out competition, in
order that they may later exercise a
monopoly and raise the price. A great
many OF these agreements in restraint OF
trade are for the purpose of existence, not
of extortion. of letting a reasonable amount
or competition exist Under the laws or
trade and commerce as We have them to-
country, as We hear all over the country
criticisms of the kind of competition that
these great institutions are giving some OF
the smaller Institutions of this country:
And yet anything on the part OF the small
institutions designed to prevent that sort or
crushing out of competition which Is build-
ing up the true monopolieS or the United
States is as guilty under the Sherman anti
trust law, is as criminal as any other KIND
of an agreement designed to extort from
and injure the people Of the United States

cording to reports received at the nsular

president is to receive S10,SUO in lieu of

general and extend down the entire line.
