Denver, Jan. 26.-Gordon Jones.
president of the United States Ma
tional bank of. this city, who recently
returned from an extended tour of
inspection of farm conditions in Eu-
rope, declares that the credit system
used in many foreign agricultural
countries could not be adopted in the
United States. Speaking of the sys-
tenn Mr.. Jones said he discovered
that European farm credit banks
have no reserve fund, the capital of
the institutions being loaned first to
one farmer and when he returned 1t,
it was again loaned to another needy
one. Securities were safeguarded
and under the short term loan sys-
tenn none of these banks had ever
failed. Recently the long-term banks
have been failing. He says the sys-
TEN is impractieable in this country
due to the difference of more ad-
vanced rural conditions.

NOW INVESTIGATING
COLORADO STRIKE
Two Men in State VIII Get the
Facts for the CongTeSSiOn-

(Bv DELL CoBB1

Denver, Jan. 26.---lt is not gener-
ally known, but II is a fact never
theless that the national bureau of
labor at Washington has had a rep
resentative in the state for several
weeks for the purpose of prosecuting
second investigation into the pres
ent coal miners strike and the
causes which led up TO the troubles.
1t will be recalled that Commissioner
of Labor Wilson came to Colorado
several weeks ago and attempted, af-
ter making only partial inquiry into
conditions, to bring the two warning
factions together. He failed and re-
turned to Washington and reported
to President Wilson that he was un-
able to bring about a settlement of
the difficulties.
Joseph +. Myers. another represen-
tative of the national labor bureau.
was then sent to Colorado to make a
quiet investigation Of the strike
conditions. He has been in the
southern district for several weeks,
hut no one knew that he was a spe-
cial representative of the depart
meat of labor at Washington or that
an inquiry was being made of condi-
tons. Mr.. Myers came to Denver
Saturday last and will conclude his
official inquiry during the present
week and return to Washington.
While in Denver he has had inter-
views on strike conditions with Gov
ernor Ammons, Secretary of State
Pearee, United States District At
torney Kelley, officials of both the
coal operators and the officers of the
United Mine Workers union.
Mr.. Myers said today that he was
making an unbiased investigation of
the strike and that his report to the
national labor department will be
plain statement of facts-giving the
situation as he found it on both
sides of the controversy. He admit
ted that the situation is bad, but be-
lieyes that when the congressional
Investigation is concluded the trou-
bles will soon be settled.

BOB MoHA, sPUDGY POLISH FRINGE. IS <25 TO-DAY

Bob Moha, the ''pudgy Polish prince" and ..Nilwaukee's blonde beauty was born in Milwaukee just a quarter of a century ago today, and has been scrapping in the ring ever since he was fifteen. Bobby started his pugilistic career about ten years ago as a featherweight, and has been by turns lightweight, weIterWeight and rniddIeweight. When he is right, Moha. is now one ofNthe best of the light heavyweights, and. has a good claim to the commissionweigh title His defeat of Battling Levinsky. the famous Philadelphia Hebrew, a couple of months ago, placed him among the top-notchers of the newest boxing class.
 Moha was born in Milwaukee on June 6. 1889, and as a featherWeight cleaned up a number of local lads Moha, who has passed through three divisions since then, is still a feather weight in height, standing only five fee four in his nude tootsies. Fight ing at 179 pounds, he looks about as broad as he is long. Bob has been able to work down to 163 pounds, but that is his limit, and the middleweight division is closed to him. In action Moha. resembles in appearance a young freight car, but he has sdevel- oped a fair amount of speed and clev- erness for all his awkward build, and  found him more than ne could handle in their bout in Moha's home town last March. Bob has been called the wild man, and in some of his bouts he has lived up to the description,
 but in others he has seemed tame and | domesticated.
 Moha did most of his scrapping in l Milwa ulxee until 1910, when. he went to Buffalo and knocked out Hilliard Lang, the Canadian boxer, in the first round. The following year, in Bos- ton NIoha was matched with Billy Paplke and won a decisive victory over the Illinois Thunderbolt. Bob looked like the coming middleweigflt t champion, but after that he went out of training for a time, and accumulat-
 ed so much meat that he has never
 been able to get back to the middle
 weight class.
 l Last year Moha fought a draw with Eddie McGoorty, defeated Cyclone Johnny~Th and achieved other l victories, but made poor showing l against Jack Dillon, the Hoosier mid | dIeweight. He started out this year | by knocking out Freddie Hicks of De
 troit in Brooklyn, whipping Jack Dris-
 coll in the same city, and outpointing
 Levinsky in Milwaukee

Later that year the Canadian was defeated by Jack (Twin) Sullivan, who had been defeated by Kelly. Within a year of f his two bouts with Kelly Burns was the heavyweight champion of the world, while Kelly, despite the many victories he achieved, was never able to win a title, although he fought long and hard for the niddIeweight cham pionship. Kelly-which was not his real name-was a Chicago Italian and he had been instructed in the glove game by the great Tommy Ryan. He was a clever boxer and had wallop that was ''somethin' fierce.p AL though at one time Ryan proclaimed his protege to be the middIeweight champion, Kelly never really held that title. It is curious fact that Kelly and Jack 6Twin) Sullivan, two of the best modern middIeweights did not reach the championship goal, aI- though there were periods in the careers of both men when they were easily the best of their class
