Johnny CouIon Is Training Quietly
For Bout With Williams.
Coulon,

Johnny Coulon, bantamWelght
champion, is apparently sincere in his
determination to meet, Kid Williams
of Baltimore in title bout on the
coast June 9.
For some time the little Logan
Square battler has been lost to the
sport pages. He buried himself COM
pletely and did not burst forth with
notices regarding his condition,
weight stipulations and cries for more
money.
All of his negotiations with Pro-
moter McCarey have been carried on
quietly, and Coulon has gained every
point. He will be given railroad tick
cts, $500 for training expenses, and a
guarantee purse of 5000, with the
privilege of taking 40 per cent of the
gate receipts. This is an advantage
Gus arrangement, as the mill should
pull large crowd.
In the meantime Johnny has not
been idle, so far as actual work is
concerned. He has been quietly train
ing, and is rounding into condition
slowly and naturally. He says that
when the, time arrives for the fight
he will be in good condition, strong
and fit for a fast pace.
One fight is all the champion will
take on before he meets Williams. 1t
will be in the nature of trial heat,
mad will prove to Johnny Just what
his condition is He has not yet Sc
lected an opponent, nor decided
where the fight will be held.
The man chosen will undoubtedly
be a tough trial horse. Making,a good
against dub would do Cou-
Ion more harm than good. He would
get such an easy victory that he
might become overconfdent. and that
would be fatal in battling such man
as Williams. BE-

oXING-ALL THE LATEST DoPE-BAsEBALL
Feds Play Joke on the Philadelphia
Secretary at Shreveport.

Joe Tinker, Tom Seaton and Ad
Brennan of the Chicago Feds played
clever trick on Secretary Bill Shett-
slime of the Phillies yesterday when
the last-named gent blew into
Shreveport to persuade the two form
er Quaker pitchers to desert the Feds
and return to organized ball.
When Fed scouts have gumshoed
into organized camps the managers
of the particular teams have hiked for
court and, secured an injunction,
restraining the scouts from tamper->
ing with players, or whispering seduc-
tive words into their bulging ears.
Notice the difference in the treat
ment accorded Shettsline
When he arrived in Shreveport
Shettsline went to an obscure hotel
and registered under an assumed
name, all proper and sleuthlike con-
duct. Then he got busy on a phone
and called up Seaton, making an APP
pointment. Tom agreed to call at
Shettsline's hotel.
Then he notified Tinker of the con-
versation. Joe secured an auto, load
ed Seaton and Brennan in it, and
hiked over to see the Philly official
Shettsline was considerably discon-
certed when he saw the size of the
party that was to. be present at his
secret conference" with Seaton.
But that was not marker to his
surprise when Seaton invited him to
come over to the Feds stopping place,
where he could see a real hotel and
a regular ball club. When the auto
returned to Fed headquarters Shett-
slime was passenger.
Tinker kept within hearing dis
lance all the time, and crowd gath
cred around, making it impossible
for Shettsline to have any private
talk with Seaton. And Seaton thought
the joke he had engineered was a
good one. Shettsline didn't appre-
ciate it.

We quote finally the very precise and
luminous passage in which Dr. JONI
BAssETT MOORE discusses the subject.
This opinion Is all the more interesting

ferrci 10y Mr. BRYAN hnd 1t been raised
before Dr. MooRr's retirement from the
post " Counsellor for the Department
of Stnte:
Much Misrepresentation as to the quail
ity Of the act OF supplying contraband
articles, such as arms and munitions "
war TO the parties to an armed conflict
has arisen from the statement so ofte l
made that the trade In contraband Il
lawful and not prohibited. This state
ment when used with reference 10 the
preventive duties OF neutral Governments
Is quite correct, but II applied to the
duties OF individuals Il Is quite incorrect.
The acts which individuals are forbidden
to commit and the acts which neutral
Governments are obliged TO prevent ara
10y no means the same precisely as the
acts which the neutral Government il
obliged to prevent and the acts which 4 IS
forbidden to commit are By no means

Government Of the Individual itself sup
ply such articles It would clearly depart
from It's position OF neutrality The pri-
vatc citizen undertakes the business NJ

Government cannot assure him protection

FOR THE PHILIPPINE BILL.
Remarks by n Business Man on the Pend
Ing Legislation.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SCN-Sir: The
great majority of American business men
Interested In the Philippine Islands de-
sire an early enactment OF legislation
substantially the same as that embodied
in the Philippine bill now under consider
alton by Congress There is nothing bust
ness breads so much as uncertainty This
most Objectionable part OF the first Jones
bill, namely, fixing a definite date for
complete Philippine independence, has
been removed, the only reference to 1t In
this bill In In the preamble which Is not
a part OF the law. but merely an express
sion OF Democrats sentiments in regard
to the future OF the Islands. and only
repeats what Ex-President Taft has 50
often stated namely, that II was the IN
tention OF the United States 10 grant the
Fllplnos absolute Independence as soon as
they were capable Of self government
The preamble should be amended to
read that the United States should not
get out OF the Philippine Islands without
the consent OF the Fllipinos The pros
pect OF tho United States abandoning the
Philippine Islands at an early date sim
ply paralyzed business in the Philippines
with this bill enacted business could 20
ahead. The United states will continue
to own the Philippine Islands for an In
definite period and to maintain law and
order as we'll as to protect them from
foreign attack. Their status Is settled,
That is what business wants to know.
should the Filipino show that he is
Incapable OF stlf-g0vcinment, then the
United States cannot give up the Islands.
and II he shows that he can properly
establish and maintain stable govern
mcnt that would quiet many OF the fears
now entertained.
IL would appear to be bad policy for
the United states to let events now oc-
curing In the Far East influence in any
way its actions In regard 10 Philippine
legislation such procrastinaton might
be regarded AS inspired by a doubt as to
the good intentions OF some neighooring
countries
Philippine business interests feel that
the passage Of a bilg along these lines
will largely remove the Philippine qucs-
ton from the sphere of American politics,
A contamination which both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties strongly pro-
| fess to favor. GEORGE H. FAIRcHIIb.
