Representative Manahan De-
clares Exchange Forces
Up Price of Farm Pro-
duce. Fitch Consumer.
PRESENTS BILL TO PROBE

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20.-A con,
gressional inquiry into the organiza-
ton and operations of the Chicago
and Duluth boards of trade, and the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce, to
determine their influence over the
wheat and flour prices in the coun.
try, was proposed in resolution in.
troduced by Representative Manahan
of Minneapolis Thursday.
The resolution was referred to the
rules committee. Manahan announced
his intention of pressing his demand
for a hearing at the earliest possible
date.
"The cost of living has not res
ponded to the general reduction In
the tariff rates." declared the resolu-
tions preamble, "and doesn't yield to
the steadily falling prices received by
farmers for their products"
The constantly changing price to
the farmer, and the continued high
price to the consumer, 1t was assert
ed, was due to the manipulation pur>
chase and sale of wheat by the three
organizations named. Each is charg-
ed with a monopoly controlling wheat
prices.
The resolution will provide for the
appointment of a committee of sew
en- members of the house, with full
inQuisitorial powers.

A COURAGE PRODUCER,

An exhibitor at Paramount spilled
some whiskey on his barn floor so that
a little stream of it ran out. A GER
tain mouse sailed forth from his hole
and being thirsty took a sip. 1t tasted
strange and he went back in his hole
and thought. Then he came back out
and took another sip and went back
again and thought. Then he came out
and took big drink. Then he jumped
up on the edge Of the soap box,
stood upon his hind legs, bristled his
whiskers and exclaimed:
'Now bring out that damned cat"

Slight Changes Made in the
Rules for 1916 Olympic Games

LYONS, France, June 5.-The sec
ond days session of the rules, regu-
lations and records committee of the
International Amateur Athletic Fed
GRAFTON began this morning. James
E. Sullivan, secretary of the American
Olympic Committee presided over the
meeting.
The discussion of the rules for the
1916 Olympic games was again taken
up. 1t is not expected that there will
be any further changes of Importance
made.
There were a few minor changes
made in the rules at yesterdays SEES
sion of the committee. The rule Gov
ering the judging of winning events
was changed to read as follows:
There shall be three or more
judges, who shall decide the order in
which the competitors finish
The previous rule designated one
judge to take the winner, another the
second man and another the third.
Through a slight change the Judges
of walking or their assistants now
have the power to warn or disqualify
Immediately at their discretion. Pre-
viously the judges cautioned any COM
petitor, the third caution disqualify-
ing him.
The delegates OF France and Eng
land offered some opposition 10 the
rule covering the timers. Instead Of
the middle time being taken. as is
now the case, if there is a disagree
ment between the three watch hold
ers, these delegates advocated that
the best time should be taken. The
rule was not changed.

Resignation OF John A. Trail
Causes Shift in Polo
Lineup.
PRACTISE GAME TODAY

NEW YORK, June 5.-Emerald
Isles representative in the lineup Of
The British polo invaders, John A.
Trail. withdrew yesterday, Trail
was heralded as a find in the advance
reports. He was recruited in the last
few minutes by Lord Wimborne.
Upon arriving in this country, Trail
found the ponies supplied him hard
to manage and under this handicap
he found it impossible to play up to
his best FORM This is said to be the
reason for his resignation. Captain
Vivian Lockett will ill the breach in
the English team. He will replace
Captain l.. ST. c. Cheape at No. ,.
while Cheape will be shifted to back,
Trails position.
some credit the new lineup with
being stronger than the old. Cheape
has had experience in that capacity
and is expected to do better there
than at No. 1. where he was original
ly slated to play.
Owing tc the continuous downfall
of rain yesterday at Meadow Brook,
neither the challengers or the Ameri.
can team were able to engage in the
practise games which had been ar
ranged for them.
Should weather conditions permit.
the English team will play today at
Meadow Brook and the American
players at either Meadow Brook or
Westbury.
The Englishmen are drawing the
small figure of 1000 to 500 odds in
Wall street betting on the matches.
Six to FIVE is offered that the Ameri-
cans will win the first match.

MANY NATIONS IN
HENLEY REGATTA
United States, Canada, Ger
many and Switzerland All
Furnish Entrants.
DIBBLE IN DIAMOND SOULS

LONDON. June 5-Henley- regatta,
which will take place this year from
July l to July 4. promises to Great
great International interest, as, be-
sides the United States, Canada, Ger
many and switzerland will be repre-
sented in the various events.
The Grand Challenge Cup for Fights
has attracted entries from the Union
Club of Boston and Harvard Uni
versity. and it is expected that Eng
land will have to fight hard TO retain
it. as Canada also will be represented
by the Winnipeg Rowing Club.
The Stewards Challenge Cup for
tours will also bring forth a struggle,
as the Mainz Rowing Club from Ger
many intends to send a four to COM
pete. Last year the Mainz four de-
feated the Argonauts, of Toronto, ane
also Leander in this event, but lost
the final to New College on a foul,
the Germans steering very erratically
and colliding with the opponents.
In the Diamond Souls r. Dibble,
amateur sculling champion Of
America. will represent the Don Row
ing Club, Of Toronto. Dibble will
nave a big field to contend against,
including \. Mccullough Leander,
who has won the event once before;
E. @. Williams, of Cambridge, oars
man. 5. Z. Swami last years presi-
dent of the oxford Boating Club;
L. d. p. Pinks, the runner-up in 1918,
London Rowing Club; E. L. Watts,
Thames Rowinb Club n. L. Higgins.
Twickenham: c. NJ. Stewart, Kings
ton. and G. c. Fripp, Manchester.
English entries in the other events
include the Leander, London and
Thames Rowin clubs, which are re"
garded as certain starters for the
Grand Challenge Cup. The uniVer-
sity entries depend to some extent on
the results of the summer Fights, but
it is anticipated that a combined
crew will represent Cambridge, while
Oxford will send the New College
eight.
Crews from the universities also
will defend the Stewards Cup for
England.
For the Ladies' Challenge Plate and
the Thames Challenge Cup all the
university colleges and many of the
public schools will enter crews.
The increase in foreign entries is
a result of agreements entered into
by the committee of the regatta with
foreign associations. including tho
American Rowing Association. Other
countries which also have made
agreements include New South Wales,
Tasmania. Belgium. France. Holland,
Hungary, Italy and Russia, but for
most of these the agreements were
made too late to allow of their enter
ing crews.

and Herman say they will turn the
tables on-Pittsley and win.
Tommy Hoy, welterWeight cham

Spears Lacks Judgment.

Spears has great speed, of that
there is no doubt, but lie lacks judg
ment and courage. He is afraid to
ride from the front and does not pos
sess enough speed to ride around
such riders as Kramer, Clark and
Goullet in the last stage of a race
when these riders are in form. OF
all of the riders who have come from
Australia Spears is, in the opinion of
the experts in Australia, the greatest
sprinter of them all. When fhe sailed
for Yankeeland last year the Sydney
referee said: IF an Australian sprin-
ter is to beat Frank Kramer that
sprinter is Bob Spears. The stretch
sprint of Spears is wonderful and
we believe much like kramer's. II is
a question of whose final effort is
the better"

trouble was brought about through
the efforts of disgruntled manager
of fighters, who has been getting 4
lot of attention in the press. The
professor has been ever careful in
taking care Of his patrons, and he
employs rare judgment in matching
the boys in the boxing bouts. These
contests have been going on for
years, and there is no good reason,
that I can see, to stop them. The
exhibitions are well attended and are
much enjoyed by some of the leading
business men of the city.
G
The contest between Donley ana
Mack, I am told, promises to be a
very interesting one. Donley, they
tell me, is going to develop into a
great lightweight. Patsy Kline says
that Mickey is a dandy fighter and
others declare he has in him the
making of a champion Mack IS
also a Newark boy, but he is living
at the present time in New Haven.
He has a reputation of being good
boy, and it is claimed he has u
grievance to settle with Donley. This
match would be good enough for any
club and Professor Troxler deserves
large patronage for the caliber If
the contests he stages and the rea-
sonable prices he charges.
