Jan. Il, while Joe goes on to Cliff
ton, ArizY where he will clash with
kid" Ross, the negro welterweight,
on the same night Whether they
viii go on to the coast or return to
FL Paso, will be decided by develop
ments in the west. They have re-
ceived a couple of offers from San
francisco promoters of fOur-rOund
bouts but Joe declares that they
would rather stay in the southwest
for a while.
After two weeks of consistent train

training program in FL PasO. Bat

weights for a few stanzas.
Kid Ross, the prospective oppo-
nent of Joe, is well known in Ell Paso
as an aggressive middleweight. and
a dangerous hitter. After receiving
a crack on the jaw, Ross quit in the
fourth round of a battle at Juarez
several months ago. Gonzales is cred
tied with knOckouts over Bart Cor
don and Bob York, both FL Paso boys.
Al Smaulding, the man who won a

WOULD MAKE IT CRIME
TO SHIP ARMS ABROAD
Senator Hitchcock viii Introduce Bill
Prohibiting Sale of Munitions
by Americans.

Congress will be asked to pass a law
making il an ofrense to ship arms, artil-
lery or ammunition to any country en-
gagged in war against a country with
which the United States is at peace.
Senator Hitchcock. OF Nebraska, is
author Of a bill. which was introduced
yesterday. and which makes IT unlawful
and q breach OF neutrality for any firm.
person or corporation to ship the ar
ticles mentioned to a belligerent. or to
sell. or contract to sell. or deliver or
contract to deliver such articles during
the existing war. or any future war.
except upon proof that the articles are
not to be used in warfare. The maxi
mum penalty provided is a fine of $780,
OO. Imprisonment for three years, and
confiscatiOn OF the consignment.
To pave the way for the passage OF
his bill. Senator Hitchcock introduced
a resolution calling upon the Secretary
of Commerce TO inform the Senate
whether and to what extent arms. am
mUnitiOn. artillery, and other munitions
OF war have been exported from the
United States to each of the belIigerent
nations in the present war for each
month from the first Of August to the
first OF December" and also to what eX-
tent contracts with American concerns
are now being executed for the manu-
facture and eNpOrtatiOn Of arms. amn1u-
milton and artillery.
Discussing his resolution and his
bill, Senator Hitchcock said the United
States had refused to sell about 3OO.-
900 good KraGjOrEenscn rifles. a better
weapon than is being used in many of
the armies in Europe. as to do so would
be a violation Of neutrality. The SEN
ator said it was his opinion that private
American citizens or concerns should
not be allowed to perform what the
government itself would not do.

New York, Dec. L-Restrlcted trading

minimum prices will be made public on
Friday. This decision was reached at q
largely attended meeting OF the govern
ors committee after the close today. It
further was decided that the committee
Of five be authorized to enforce stock
loan contracts whenever it may be deem
ed wise to do so.
Resumption of rrbl'r trading was
forced by the volume Il business which
completely swamped the committee and
literally compelled the transfer or trad
of the exchange.
Much relief was felt throughout the
financial district over the announcement
Odd-lot houses were particularly pleased,
as their customers were under serious
disadvantages when attempting to trade
through the clearing house. With call
money loaning at 3 per cent, stock brok-
ers will have little difficulty in financing
marginal accounts, and a quickening in
speculative interest is expected to result
with higher prices for the Industrial and
traction shares.
