FIGHT CONDEMNED
BY PRESBYTER|ANS
General Assembly Voices 0biec-
ton to Meeting Between
JeffrieS and Johnson
URGE GlLLETT TO INTERFERE
Resolution Regarding Saturday
Half Holiday for Working Men
Is Heartily Cheered
Associated Press1


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 21.-A
strong protest against the Jeffries-
Johnson fight, scheduled to be held in
san Francisco July 4, featured the clos
ing hours of today's session of the
Presbyterian general assembly here. A
resolution calling on Governor Gillett
of California to prevent the fight was
introduced by Rev. f. L. Forbes OF
Seattle, Wash, and was referred to the
committee on overtures. The resolution
read;
Governor James n. Gillett. Sacra-
mento, Cal: The whole world is look
ing to you to redeem your state, the
Pacific coast and the whole United
States from the disgrace the approach
ing fight between Jeffries and johnson
Will tasten upon you and the state
which you represent, as well as the
country of which you are a part.
Virtue, decency and patriotism de-
mand that you save your state ana our
nations sacred birthday from the filth,
the Vulgarity and brutality of an inta-
nous prze-tight ON the Fourth Of July.
The morality, respect and education
and nobility OF the youth of the land
appeal to you to stop this contest. The
law is in your hands and the public at
large has right to expect you to exc
cute it,"
Members of the assembly who oppose
the proposed fight will attempt to have
the appeal duplicated to President TAFT
with a request for federal interference
in holding the fight on the Fourth Of
July when the matter comes up Mon
day.
John Willis Baer president of Occi-
dental college, Los Angeles, presented
a report received from the Federation
club of Los Angeles, in which was an
opinion from Nathan NeWby, a Callfor-
mia lawyer, to the effect that present
California laws would warrant police
or state officers stopping the fight.
The first hint of the movement TO
oust the Rev. Or. William II. Roberts
of Philadelphia from one of his high
offices, stated clerk and treasurer OF
the assembly, came in the report OF the
bills and oVertures committee.
1t was said in this report that 132
presbyteries had voted for readjust-
ment, while 1856 had voted against any
attempt to force Dr. Roberts to resign
either of his positions. TWenty-seVen
presbyteries had not voted, the report
said.
Though no deductions were made
from this vote, it is taken to mean that
it depends on Dr. Roberts himself as
to whether he resigns the office or
treasurer. His opponents claim that
the holding of the two offices gives Dr
Roberts too much power in the assem-
bly, and in church affairs.
The various resolutions embodied in
the report of the committee on Sab
bath observance were heartily cheered,
especially those urging the Saturday
half-holiday for Worhngmen.
Before passing, unanimously, mo-
ton to accept the report and adopt the
resolutions suggested, the Rev. A. A.
Moore, secretary of the Lords Day al
lance of Canada, made an address
praising the stringent recommendations
of the report and declaring the sabbath
is better observed in the United states
than in any other country, even Cam
ada.

PASTOR CALLS JEFFRIES-
JOHNSON FIGHT BRUTALITY

"If the coming contest between JEFF
fries and johnson is not a prize fight
there never was one in America said
Nathan Newly this evening. Mr..
Newly presented an opinion before the
Federation club of Los Angeles last
Wednesday, and this opinion was re-
Ported to the Presbyterians.
Section 4O12 of the penal code of Call
ifornia is clear, that while 1t permits
sparring exhibitions for certain num-
Der of rounds, it makes prize fighting
a felony The coming contest has all
the characteristics of a prize fight and
not of a sparring exhibition. A spar
ring contest is a matter of skill and for
points. A prize fight is contest of
endurance. according to legal author
ity. There can be no question as to
how the Jeffries- johnson contest is to
be classified. The tfve-round
limit is purely a subterfuge.

TAssociated Pressl


WASHINGTON, May 21.-Represen-
tative Eugene N. Foss. newly elected
Democratic representative from Mas
sachusetts, a former Republican and a
leading manufacturer, today signalized
the beginning of his active participa-
tion in the house with a radical attack
upon the Payne-Aldrich tariff. He de-
nounced the Republican policy of pro-
lection as an unmitigated evil, fayed
the Republican leaders, declared the
recent revision of the tariff to be "a
deliberate bunko game from start 70
finish" pronounced in favor of reci-
procity, and demanded an extra ses-
sion of a new congress" at the earliest
opportunity to revise the tariff
"The people are indeed demanding
protection" said Mr.. Foss, but the
protection they are demanding is pro-
lection from the Payne Aldrich tariff
The speaker announced himself as
favoring the creation of a tariff COM
mission, but he wanted the commission
composed of non-partisan men whose
report would me made direct to con-
gress rather than to the president
Mr.. Foss declared that the rallying
cry shall be made free wood and cheap
clothing"
He declared for lower duties on sugar
and further reductions in iron and
steel.
1T seems to devolve upon me. as a
representative here in congress-" he
said, "and as a representative manu-
facturer in the iron and steel industry,
to state publicly here that in my judg
ment my industry and the people en-
ployed in it would not suffer under free
trade conditions; that is if 10 per cent
duty was entirely removed and pro-
vided these conditions apply to the
NNbA1n iron stool jn611 from tbp
coal and iron ore up"
COULD COMPETE WITH WORLD
I'm fact" Mr.. Foss continued, "I
believe that today under free trade
conditions, we can compete in the
markets of the world, in part if not in
all those industries and compete to
better advantage than we do now"
Mr. Foss' maiden speech was pune
tuated with constant applause. His
declaration that the people had lost
confidence in the Republican party
evoked a demonstration from the Dem
ocratic side. Mr.. Longworth of Ohio
sought to inject a question.
You will excuse me- smllingly re-
marked Mr.. Foss, Il cannot be inter-
rupted this morning"
The Ohioan sat down amid laughter
from both sides.
An uproarious scene followed the con-
cluSion of Mr.. FOSs speech.
Mr. Hill of Connecticut demanded to
know why the Massachusetts member
had not expressed his views before the
ways and means committee when the
bill was pending.
II had been ruled out of the Repub-
lcan party five or six years back by
leaders in Massachusetts" replied Mr..
Foss. The people know where
stand"
While the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis were shouting at each other
across the hall Mr. Hamer of Idaho,
a Republican, was vainly seeking rec
ognition to question Mr. Foss.
"How can / proceed to ask him some
questions >" he demanded.
Write him a letter." derisively
yelled a Democrat.
"Send him a wireless" yelled an
other.

NEW USE FOR ALARM CLOCK

If your work in the kitchen is fin
ished, except your baking, set your
alarm clock for the time when you
know you should look after it, and go
about your work in the other part of
the house, secure in the thought that
at the appointed hour you will hear a
loud and unmistakable call from the
kitchen. This will save countless dishes
from ruin, and you much worry.

CHICAGO, April 1T was a
heavy market in wheat from first
to last, and the new crop months
closed within q fraction of the bot
tom, after break of 17sc or more
from closing figures Friday.
There was bearish news from all
quarters, both early and late. Be
fore the market opened dispatches
told of rains at southern Kansas
points. An hour later messages re-
ported rains working north and
east over q large locality. At the
same time the forecast for the next
few hours indicated showers for
southern and eastern Kansas. Mis-
souri, and southern Illinois for to-
night and tomorrow. Altogether.
the weather and crop situation was
much improved, and the bears were
encouraged to take advantage of
the situation.
The disappointing feature in the
trade for the day was the failure
of the leading bull interests in the
different months from May TO Sep
tember to come to the support of
the market ut the decline. The
short sellers were given so much
rope today that 1t Is just barely
possible they have gone too far,
and that either bull leadership or
bull news at the opening next week
might easily give the market diff

1t was shortly before 8 o'clock
this morning that Neal, together

gate and went below to make some
repair to the main wheel that pro-
pels the machinery of the big mill.
No sooner had they descended than
the water gate gave way and a tre-
mendous rush from the river came
in upon them. Hay was forced out
of a hole at the top to safety, but
Neal is still there.

to purchase new park areas, stat
ing the extent Of such proposed
purchases. so that the same can
be known prior to the day of the
