Best known OF all referees is El'
gene CORR, the great English arbi-
traitor OF boxing, whose name is as
familiar TO followers of the game on
this side OF the Atlantic as il is across
the water. CORR is the last word In
the sport in England and referees all
the bouts at the National Sporting
club.
Il have had what you Americans
call hot times in the ring frequently
said CORR TO me one afternoon, when
discussing ring affairs In general and
the refereeing angle in particular.
Perhaps the most unpleasant mo-
ment and the one requiring the quick
est action OF mind was when two fell
lows were fighting at the old club in
London. some years ago. There was a
great deal OF betting on the outcome.
II don't remember the names OF the
boxers, but they were called Jack and
Bill. They had been fighting like two
wildcats for II rounds and II was a

GOFF LIKELY TO HOLD
John DOE" INQUIRY

Mr. Whitman said yesterday that Jus
tice Con was practically the father OF the
John Doe" proceeding and was entirely
familiar with all It's powers and effective
ness. II has frequently been resorted to
as a favorite means OF obtaining prelim-
mary evidence for a grand jury on which
TO base indictments. None OF the legal
obstacles which arise to make witness
testimony at a trial material have TO be
contended with in such a proceeding, and
witnesses may be called and examined
Unfortunately so that testimony ma
terial 10 the issue OF the investigation
may be readily weeded out from that
which is immaterial and irrelevant. In
the mean time all possible channels may
be followed out and the whole matter
slfted, while being made a public record
which is bound TO formulate desired pub
lie sentiment on. the subject under inves-
tigation.
Justice Gofrs experience in conducting
the famous Lexow Committee investiga-
ton will stand him in good stead as the
presiding magistrate in such an Inquiry.
He showed himself TO be thorough and
merciess examiner. and there is no doubt
that he would get all out OF John Doe"
proceeding pointed toward police graft
which could be obtained.
