cial field agents. Commissioner bennett
of the general land office is making prep
arations to vigorously prosecute an in
vestgation into charges of wholesale

FOR NEW INAUGURAL DATE.

of amending the Constitution in order
to change the date of the presidential
inauguration There is no provision

in the fourth of March as the day upon
which the presidential term of four years
shall begin to rum. Hence IL argues that
Congress can act of its own motion and
upon its own authority and change the
date. But the Constitution fixes four
years as the length of the term. and it
is impossible to change the date
without lengthening shortening the
current term. Therefore. constitu-
tional amendment appears absolutely
necessary. That Is the opinion at Wash

SPORTS
BOXERS ARE READY
TO ENTER RING
NO MORE BOXING FOR RILEY AND
CULLEN AND ONLY ENOUGH
ROAD WORK TO KEEP IN SHAPE

Both Riley and Cullen have CONF
pleted their hard training for the fight
which takes place on Saturday night
and from now on will simply take
enough road work to keep in condi-
ton. Both boys are in the best of
shape, which means that the coming
go will be fast from start to finish.
Riley is the faster of the two men
and if the bout goes the limit he ought
to get the decision, but Cullen is liable
to slip one over on his opponent at
any time which might change things
Iperceptibly.
The prelimlnaries should prove very
interesting. Jim Coyle a newcomer,
will stack up against Limey Richards
and ought to give the latter all that
he wants for four rounds. Richards
! is in good condition on account of the
hard work which he has been doing as
sparring partner for Charlie Riley and
is said to be considerably improved
over the form shown when he last
appeared in the ring
Kid Terry and Kid Franklin should
put up a nice bout. Terry has the
experience and cleverness while Frank
lin has a bit the best of the weight,
which ought to even things up con-
siderably. Terry is very much dis
appointed that he is not going to have
chance at Sarconi and will try to
take it out of Franklin.
