BATTLER DEFENDS
BOXINGATCAPITOL
Sage of Hegewisch incidentally
Offers to 90 a Few Rounds
With Uncle Joe

WASHINGTON, May II. - Battling
Nelson called on Speaker Cannon at
the capitol today and after carefully
from respectful distance averred
that the speaker would have made a
great feather weight"
If you had begun boxing a few
years ago you would have made a bet
ter boxer than a speaker, and you are
certainly some speaker said Nelson.
Now, that's what I call a pretty
nice compliment" countered the
speaker.
Some of the group surrounding the
two informed the fighter that the
speaker took his daily exercise and
always kept himself fit.
L knew he was there on the train
ing" replied Nelson. You can't fool
me about telling when boy is in
shape"
Uncle Joe grinned and put up his
hands in approved pugilistic style.
Nelson accepted the mock challenge
and put up his practiced hands in de-
Tense.
Nelson was at the capitol to appear
before a committee in opposition to a
bill introduced by Smith of Iowa pro-
hibiting the exhibition of moving pic
lures of prize fights and transmission
of descriptions of prize fights by wire
The committee displayed keen inter-
est in Nelson. The pugilist halls from
Hegewisch, Ill, and is a constituent of
Representative Mann of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce.
IF you are going after boxing con-
tests and the pictures taken OF them
why not make a good, clean sweep and
do away with racing news, stock tick
ers and accounts of football games?"
continued Nelson.
I've never seen a boxing contest"
said Sims. Why not give us little
exhibition here in this room?"
That's just the trouble with these
people who are trying to end boxing"
quickly interrupted Nelson. Most of
them have never seen a contest and
they don't know what they are talking
about. Let me tell you something
maybe you don't know, but Theodore
Roosevelt never missed go when he
was in New York"
The pugilist was just starting to re-
count the amount of money tied up in.
the fighting business when a call of
the house broke up the committee
meeting. Nelson said that they rang
the gong too soon on him as he had not
finished.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
MAKE HEALTHY KIDS
tuberculosis and Like Diseases
Banished Without Medicine

Why should a community establish
an outdoor school? The school children
of today are the men and women of to-
morrow. There IS at present a strong
movement to discover and prevent
physical defects among them, and one
of the most insidious causes of deformi-
ties and i'll health is tuberculosis in it's
many forms. Children seem more sus-
ceptible to it than adults.
1t often attacks their glands, bones
and joints and, after doing more or
less damage to the tender tissues
seemingly disappears until in early
adult life, usually after a bad cold,
the lungs are found to be infected This
accounts IN no small degree for the
high mortality of consumption, be-
tween the ages of 20 and As.
1t is held by some authorities that
pulmonary tuberculosis in the adult
is, in majority of cases, the result
of inf sction during childhood and that.
the only way the disease can be sup
pressed is by improving the health
and building up the strength of chill
dren.
Outdoor schools are an experiment of
only two or three years standing, but
already they have shown that the chill
dren who attend them, although tu-
berculosis, are after a few weeks In
the open air, in better physical con-
dition than many children in the pub
lie schools. This is shown by their ap-
pearance. by comparison of weights
and by other tests.
The children of the outdoor schools
usually have a healthy color, while
many school children appear pale and
weak. One cause for the anemic con-
dition of school children is the warm,
dry air of the school room. which low
ers their vitality. Bad air kills inter-
est in work and gives such diseases as
grip, pneumonia and tuberculosis a
chance to overcome the natural resist
ance of the body.
Children have to spend three to six
hours day in the classroom, breath
ing air that may be laden with germs
for the ventilation of a school build
ing is seldom good.-Thomas S. Car
rington. NJ d., in The Survey.

for Wise Ones


Long shots We're again in evidence at
Emeryville yesterday and if Chester
Krum and Rosamo had not come to the
rescue followers of first choices would
have had a disastrous session.
The real surprise of the afternoon
came in the third race at a mile. Ed

dale, the favorite, made an unaccount-
ably poor showing, failing to figure
prominently at any stage.
Chester Krum again displayed his
class when he led the field home in the
feature event at six and a half fur
longs. He came from behind in game
fashion and won easily from Daddy
Clip, which led most of the way. Bal

third. Coppertown loomed up danger

West Point was expected to graduate

early and beat the Anderson youngster
while Mime, outsider, took the
small end of the purse.
There was plunge on La Petite in
the second, but Waner, the opening IA
vorlte, after breaking poorly got
through next the rail and assuming
the lead soon after passing the half
beat the mare easily. Trocha was a
close third
Tom OMalley was the most fancied
for the fifth, but there was a heavy
play on Father Downey, which had
shown little in his recent races Louis
Streuber upset calculations by gallop-
ing home in front of the favorite and
Father Downey at odds of 20 to 1.
The speculation on the last race was
marked by the changes in the prices
quoted against Rosamo and Lady Pan

Rosamo to 5 favorite, but he rap

No Interference-GiIIett
CHICAGO, May 17-According to
Governor ]. n. Gillett of California.
who stopped over at Chicago tonight
on his way home from Washington.
Jeffries and Johnson will fight in Cali
fornia without legal interference.
There is an old law, said the gov
ernor, prohibiting prize fighting. but
one paragraph in the law gives the
several boards of supervisors authority
to license boxing contests when given
by some duly organized club or asso-
citation.
For this reason there is no chance
for interference and, in my opinion,
none will be made from a legal stand

CONLEY VS.. MORAN
BOUT IS ON AGAIN
Alleged Bantam Champion Gets
Weight Concession From
Shiffy BrifiSher

LOS ANGELES. May 1.-THE Conley-
Moran match, which was declared off
last night, is on again, but instead of
May II, the little fellows will fight 10
rounds June z. The battle will be held
at Maud, where no decisions are per-
mitted. The first agreement required
Moran to make 126 pounds at 6 o'clock
May 81.
Conley's manager declared this gave
the alleged bantam champion too much
of a handicap to overcome and insisted
on Moran making 126 ringside. He
held out SO obdurately that McCarey
called off the match.
Then the promoter called them to-
gether again and they compromised on
Moran making 124 pounds at o'clock

Donahue Reiterates Stand

District Attorney Donahue of Ala
media would make no statement about
the prize fight situation beyond reiter-
ating what he has already said to the
effect that it was impossible from a
legal point of view to take any steps
to prevent the fight from starting. He
has been in consultation with sheriff
Barnet, however, and the latter is pre-
pared to interfere if the principals go
to such a point that the contest may
be termed a prize fight and not box
ing exhibition.
According to multitude of decisions
from other states that have been coll
lected in the district attorneys office,
contest ceases to be a sparring ex-
hibition and becomes a prize fight
where the principals are striving to do
bodily injury or disable each other.
Sheriff Barnet understands that if there
is evidence that they are trying to
knock each other out they are guilty
of a felony and he is prepared to
arrest Johnson and Jeffries if he is
satisfied that this is their intention
Not only may the principals be ar
rested, but all those who conspired to
bring about the fight. This includes
the promoters and seconds, and pos
sibly Thomas H. Williams as lessor of
the park The spectators would be
guilty of a misdemeanor.

The Officers May Be Held on Criminal
Charges.

As is generally known to readers of
newspapers, the Bank of Monroe is
closed. It was announced recently that
the bank would suspend business tenn
porarily and preparatory to its being
converted into national bank.
Since then State Bank Examiner Will
L. Young and his assistant, R. H.
Ward, have investigated the affairs of
the bank with the result that he has de-
termined on making charges against of
fcials and directors of the bank, but
could find no legal authority in Monroe
with whom he could lodge the affidavit
as required by law. This is gather a
singular condition, but there must be a
limit to such absence 1t is not possible
for the offenders to evade the law,
since Bank Examiner Young will not
leave Monroe until he shall complied
with his oath of office.

THE ROAD TAX AMENDMENT
Claiborne Guardian Journal: We un-
derstand the advice of the States is to
vote for the road tax amendment
whether it is understood or not. We
think that course is dangerous. No one
should vote for proposition of the
kind increasing the expenses and chang
ing the Constitution without knowing
what the effect of his vote will be. But
the law does tell how the proceeds are
to be expended. The amendment does
not, but the Legislative act does, and no
one should vote blindly for that amend
ment, for when he reads the legislative
act, in our judgment. he will find that
it is not the meritorious amendment the
States says it is. The law would make
our roads expensive, and as it provides
for one highway only through each par
ish it would be very unsatisfactory. The
farmers living some distance from this
highway would derive but little benefit
The law, instead of being meritorious,
would be a source Of dissatisfaction,
yexation and trouble This one highway
would cost, in some cases, as much no
doubt as all the other roads in the par
ish. Then too. the board of construct
ors, being appointed, would soon become
a political machine in spite of all efforts
of the appointive power to the contrary
notwithstanding We think the road tax
amendment bad and should be defeated.

certain time when any parish can avail
itself of the fund, but must wait its
