Willie all the way 10 California on his own

It was only a few days when he had Willie

Beecher and Joe Rivers They fought 20
rounds and the referee gave Rivers what
was termed a hair line decision. Manager
Reisler has raised an awful objection 10 the
decision which. OF course. cuts very little
figure. But Just the same he is turned out
in his claim by the Los Angeles papers For
instance, Jay Davidson, one Of the sporting
editors. says:
Rivers experienced one Of his narrowest
escapes from defeat that he ever had in his
sportman career. when he won from Willie

would WELD great influence, and pointed
to the present time when the majority IN
the Senate is SO small as to make one
vote have SO much weight.
Mr.. Shibley Favors Franchise.
Mr.. Shibley urged franchise for the Dis
tTict. but felt that Congress should have
the final power. He referred to the peo-
pie OF the District as political slaves. he
declared that one of the reasons given
for not wanting the vote in the District
was fear Of negro domination. This. he
said, could not be possible, as the negro
population was about only one-third OF
the total. He maintained that office hold
ere in the District should retain their
state and political rights, but should have
the power to vote here on all local at
fairs.
Louis Gutenberg spoke briefly. urging
the audience to strike while the iron Is
hot for District suffrage. Woman suf-
frage was urged by all the speakers, al
though they differed somewhat in the
best methods OF bringing It about. Mrs.

John G. Capers. former commissioner Of
the United States internal revenue. who
had been one of the earlier speakers in
the debate. started to cite certain bits
of history in connection with the aues-
tons under consideration.
You can't tell me anything about
that" said Mr.. Fess. L wrote MS

history. l wrote one myself"
And thereupon he sat down and refused
to participate further.
Mr. Fess said, "I want our government
to take care of your capital" He de-
clared that all power should rest in the
hands of Congress.
Personally. he said, he was not op-
posed to the idea of having delegate
sent to Congress by the District out De-
;ieyed such a step would be harmful.
"A delegate would be likely to stir up
sentiment against the District. as 1t
would be felt he was an interested party

tion hill he declared. THE very fact
that somebody in the navy has made q
recommendation makes Congress have
doubts as to It's passage because it Is
coming from an interested party"
Mr.. Capers' Position.
Mr. Capers in his address, which, with
an address by George II. Shibley, Nl-
rector of the american Bureau of Politi-
cal Research, preceded that Of Mr.. Fess,
declared that ''the threat Of some mem
bers OF Congress to abolish the half-and-
half system of taxation is silly. 1t would
be impossible for the citizens themselves
to keep up the District he said. He
pointed to the reclamation of the Ana
costa fats and a number Of other sim
liar improvements which he said could
not have been effected had the residents
been forced to bear the entire expense.
IF Congress took such a step it would
be burning up the wheat field and de-
stroying the wheat he asserted.
He said that under the present system
the District was not receiving its just
share of attention. when 1t is known
that certain day is District day." he
said. "a large number Of empty seats are

LIVELY DISCUSSION
OF DISTRICT AFFAIRS
Representative Fess and Assistant

Spirited Debate Over Proposition to
Extend Right of Suffrage to
District Residents.

Clashing sharply with E. W Oyster.
member of the board of assistant asses
sors of the District, I'm regard to the
Districts relations to the national gov
eminent: telling certain questioners In
his audience that the only reason
they wanted the vote was that they
might get an Office and making the gen
eral statement that the best thing for
anybody who did not like the present
form OF government in the District was
to get out Representative Fess Of Ohio
last night stirred up spirited debate at
a meeting of the Anthony League at the
rooms Of the Chamber Of Commerce.
He referred to the people of the District
as pensioners of the government. The
occasion was a three-cornered debate nn-
der the auspices of the league, and was
intended to present various viewpoints Of
the question Of self-government in the
District
Early in his remarks Mr.. Fess made it
plain that he was very strongly opposed
to government in the District, and at
about the time this became plain a large
percentage of the audience started
"heckling' He declared that if you
people who want the vote had your
way, I. as member of Congress, would
say, IL } OG walt u run tic DlStllCt oi
it, but l won't help support it. You
can't come here as pensioners and then
say what shall be done here
Difference of Opinion.
When Mr.. oyster Stated to draw con-
clusons regarding the relations of a
state and the city within the state, and
the Capital city and the nation, Mr.. Fess
contradicted him.
assistant assessor.
No, you are not" shouted the repre-
sentative. You are stating false
hood and thereupon sat down.
Mr. Fess had previously declared that
no person in the United States was
more anxious than he to see the capital
the most beautiful city in the world,
and that Congress was doing great work
to make it such.
where is the city that would raZe
buildings as substantial as those between
the Union station and the Capitol simply
for the purpose of making a beauty
spoto We want to see this city the
finest in the world. But to speak of
allowing the residents Of the District to
vote is absolutely foolish and never can
be brought about
When one or two of the audience tried
to defend the proposition of votes for
the District Mr.. Fess retorted:
You want votes and positions here SO
that you can get one of those Offices
Another Contradiction.
Later, when questions Of history arose
