TIE PRIZEFJGHT SCANDAL

Why does Governor Dix permit this
scandalous muddle over the regulation
Of boxing TO 60 on? The Governor has
had nearly three weeks in which to fill
the vacancy existing in the reguative
commission and TO break the deadlock
which is paralyzing its activities and
interfering with the enforcement Of the
law. The situation calls for prompt
action, as The Tribune pointed out
when Commissioner Sullivan resigned.
Why does the Governor delay?
The Governor himself IS understood
to hold that violation Of the law has
been permitted in granting a license TO
the Madison Square Athletic Club. He
is reported to have directed the com
mssioners, or at least one Of them, TO
put an end to it by canceling the Ii
Ccnse. Yet nothing is done One Of the
commissioners must see the Governor
before he can make up his mind
whether or not TO put an end to the
scandal. and thus the protraction of the
deadlock emphasizes the incompetence
and utter failure Of the Governors
commission to regulate boxing and to
see that the law is obeyed and public
deCency respected.
If Governor Dix believes, as every
one else does. that his commission has
permitted violation Of the law, has he
no way OF bringing its members sharp
ly to account? Is this delay over re-
vclling the license necessary? Is il going
to he persisted in so that with the
help Of appeals to the courts and their
incidental delays the disgusting prize
fighting at the Garden can he kept up
all winter or until the demolition Of the
Garden is begun? Above all can't the
Governor bring himself to organize the
commission so that il will see that the
law is enforced without public scandal?

THE V4GAPJES OF FAME.

| An extract from The Congressional
Record" which is now being widely cir
culated illustrates afresh the vegaries
of fame. It contains a letter written Ia
| Senator Clapp, of Minnesota. by Mr.. Al
bert II. Walker, of this city, on the au-
| thOrship Of what is commonly called the
Sherman antitrust law. Senator Hoar
remarked in his autobiography that the
one thing most certain about the Sher-
man law was that Mr.. Sherman did not
write a line of it. Ex-senator EdmundS
also recently told what he knew about
its PREPARATION he being chairman of
the Judiciary Committee reporting it 10
the Senate. Mr.. Walker has now exam
ined all the available documentary evil
dence in Washington and reports mi
introduced an antitrust bill at the open
ing Of the 51st Congress, and that meas
ure of which the title alone was pre-
served, was converted by the members
of the Senate judiciary Committee into
the law which passed. Mr.. Walker
writes:
The eight sections Of the statute were
written by the following Senators, in
the following proportions: Senator Ed
munds wrote all of sections /, 3, 3, and
6. except seven words in Section !,
which seven words were written by
Senator Evarts. Those are the words
in the form Of trust or otherwise"
Senator George wrote all of Section 4
oil of S,ortio,, n
Senator ingalls, was the author of Sec
ton s.
None Of the actual COllaboratOrs cared
10 claim credit for his work, and the
paternity Of one of the most farreaching
laws ever put on the statute book was
thrust upon Senator Sherman, whose re-
lationship TO It WIS absolutely formal
and inconsequential. Much the same
thing happened with tie sO-called Sher-
man silvec act of 1890. That act was n
ma jority which controlled the Senate
ard the anti-free coinage majority which
controlled the House or Representatives.
Mr.. sherman represented the Senate
but he and Senator Jones, Of Nevada,
came TO terms ON the silver purchase
clause and he reported TO the Senate the
compromise reached by the conferrees.
He did not himself favor silver pur-
chases on such scale and yielded only
because the party leaders thought that
some adjustment had 10. be made with
the Republican members Of the free sill
yer coalition. Mr.. Jones should have got
the credit Of the partial victory for the
silver mon, hut the public inconsider-
ately attached Mr. Shermans name TO

fortune Is blind goddess is fully
demonstrated by these erroneous attribu
tions of important measures 10 a states

DENOUNCES AST0R WEDDING
Dean of Boston Congregational
lists Wants Uniform LAWS.

Boston, Sept 25.-"Every Congregational
minister felt a thrill Of shame. I believe,
when he realized that It was one OF his
own church who married Mr.. Astor." de-
clared the Rev Or. Arthur Little. Of Dor
chester, in opening late to-day a meeting
of the Congregational Ministers Associa-
ton, called for the express purpose Of dis
cussing the subject. What Is the respon-
sibllty Of Congregational ministers in per
forming the marriage ceremony"
DR.. Little, a dean Of Boston Congrega-
tionaIists. strongly denounced the recent
wedding OF John Jacob Aston and Miss
Madeleine r. Force, and urged a uniform
divorce law for every state. which would
prevent person divorced in one state
from being married in another.
The Rev. Israel Ainsworth pastor Of
Trinity Church. Revere, declared that he
doubted If ministers should have the privi-
lege Of performing the marriage ceremony.
Nothing can be found In the Scriptures
authorizing the performance Of the mar
rage ceremony by ministers OF the Cos
pei" he said, land, such being the case, 1
cannot see why we should unite people in
marriage.
Marriages are never made in Heaven
Couples are never actually Joined by the
hand of God. But yet. when we, as min
listers perform the marriage ceremony
we are wedding them as II by the hand OF
God. My conscience has troubled me many
times on this question"

CHARTER TANNING.

There is one argument against pass
Ing the charter at the present session
or the Legislature the force of which
ought to he conceded even by those
who favor the charter. 1t is the argu-
ment stated 10y the committee OF the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
when 1t complained in its communlca-
ton TO the Legislature that the latest
amendments were not available for It's
examination and would not be before
September -, and that it was, never
theless. proposed 10 jam the charter
through on September %. The most
important body in the city government
is hardly going to have time to read
the latest amendments, If there are not
some later still, before the bill is TO
be rushed through.
The proposed charter has been
changed with bewildering frequency,
having been, so far as it prescrlbes
changes in the city government, almost
entirely made over in the last week.
One hundred and fifty-nine pages OF
rev matter appeared in the revised YER
sion Of September Is. This covers most
Of the changes that have been contern-
plated in the charter That is to say.
the changes that have been proposed
have themselves been changed all over
in the last week and some Of them In
the last two days, and others still will
be in the day or so that remains. And
get It is proposed TO rush this patch
work thing through with no eXiSency
existing that requires charter tinker
ing. unless 1t is a political eXigency,
and although the latest draft at Albany
! has been shown to he full Of 'jokers'
and opportunities for graft. This plan,
rs the Board of Estimate committee
says, is monstrous.
! It is Just as monstrous as was the
original plan to Jam the charter through
In July, which Governor Dix rebuked
in these words;
After the proposed charter amend
ments have been submitted 10 the Leg
! isature the citizens and taxpayers Of
the municipality should be given ample
time 10 understand and digest their
provisions. No charter should he
acted on in haste by the Legislature
certainly no charter for city which
/ contains one-half Of the population OF
! the state.
If Governor Dix meant what he said
then, he will veto the charter in case
| it. reaches him.

time TO show that New York was still far
in the lead In that respect, but yesterday

told OF the sale of two parcels of land,

JUDGE L. L. FAWCETT HOME
Says Japan Has No Desire for War
with United States,

County Judge Lewis L. Fawcett returned
TO Brooklyn Yesterday, after spending his
vacation IN Japan and Corea. He went
away to recuperate. as he had been I'll for
months While in Corea he met former
Congressman Otto G. Foelker, of anti-race-
track gambling fame Mr.. Foelker expects
10 make his home in Corea. where he has
extensive interests.
Judge Fawcett declared that war with
the United states was "farthest from the
minds Of the Japanese"
1.-THE next generation will not only find
the Japanese the masters Of commerce and
trade in the Far East" he said. "but Wig
orously pushing us for trade along our own
Western shores. They wish to do every
thing possible 10 retain our friendship. The
only war cloud that l perceived was that OF
a commercial war. The Japanese do not
want and are not prepared for any other
kind Of war. The country is too poor, too
heavily budened with taxes and too deeply
engrossed with the problem Of develop
ment."
