FRITZ SCHEFF ACCUSED
Creditor Alleges Pawning $4,000
Gems to Avoid Paying Debts

New York, Feb. 2.-Charges that
FRITZ Scheff before filing her insolv-
ency petition last year pawned $4,000
worth of jewelry and turned $4,000
worth of pawn tickets over to Charles
B. Dillingham;, the theatrical manager,
were made yesterday in an affidavit
filed in the bankruptcy decision of the
United States District Court.
The assertions are made by Milton
Wolf, president of Joseph, Inc, milli-
ners, of No. 632 Fifth avenue, who
are opposing the prima donna's dis
charge from bankruptcy. Joseph, Inc,
was one of the Scheff creditors.
The afiidavits made by Joseph Wolf
declare that the object of the pawn
ing of the iewelry and the subsequent
transferring of the pawn tickets was
to "hinder, delay and defraud credit
ors - The transaction, it is alleged,
was never mentioned by the actress in
her bankruptcy schedules. 1t has been
said that the pawn tickets were turned
over to Dillingham; az security for a
loan. If so, Wolf says, the loan was
never eonsummated, for Dillingham; did
not advance the prima donna any
money at that time.

Perry Bill Would Have Five Men in
Charge of Fighting in State
Clubs Must Pay Tax of 3 Per Cent
of Gross Receipts

Pennsylvania will have a real live
boxing commission in charge of the
dear old game of box fighting in this
Commonwealth if a bill introduced in
the House last evening by Representa-
tive Perry, of Philadelphia, becomes
law.
This commission of five members to
Hbe appointed by the Governor shall
serve for the nominal salary of $1,000
year and have secretary at sal

ance at hearing before the commission.
The only regulations made bv the
Perry bill are that fights shall not ex-
ceed ten rounds and no contestant shall
use gloves of less than ounces. Other
rules for the good of the game will be
made by the commission, which shall
have, under this measure, exclusive
management of all boxing contests in
the State.
Each club staging fights must take
out license from the commission and
within twentyfour hours after the
bout make returns of the attendance
and the gross receipts to the commits
sion and within that same length of
time transmit to the State Treasurer

nre fixes fine of 500 to be paid

mission and the regulations in the
measure. An appropriation of ST., 1000

risbuny theatre patrons are with the
company and each offered effective
work.

ly entertaining production of this fa-
nous comedy, and Mr.. Chatterdon and

DR.. SHAW OFF TO SOUTH
Believes Winning of Votes for Women
There Vital to Cause

New York, Feb. 2.-Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw, president of the National
Suffrage Association dropped her active
campaigning in New York and the New
England States and left yesterday to
take command of the Suffrage forces in
North Carolina and Alabama.
Suffrage bills referring the question
to the voters are before the Legisla-
lures of these States, and DR.. Shaw be-
lieves that if they are passed and re-
ferred to the next general election a
great suffrage boom will be started in
the South.
New York suffrage leaders yester
day pointed to the activity of DR..
Shaw as a complete contradiction of the
contention of some of the delegates to
the last national convention that DR..
Shaw was "too old' and should be
made president emeritus.
1t may seem odd to some that
should leave for the South at this
time said DR.. Shaw. However.
think that the situation in the South
demands my attention, and that the
suffrage movement there is of utmost
Importance to women. The women of
the South are awake to the suffrage
cause, and if legislative victory can be
won now it will be material impetus
to the cause.
DR.. Shaw will go to Raleigh, n. c.,
first, to appear before the Legislative
Committee and aid Mrs. Pattie Jacobs,
State president, in running the cam
paign. Mrs. Jacobs is the youngest
State president in the association.
DR.. Shaw also will go to Montgom-
cry to appear before the Alabama Leg
islature. This body meets but once in
four years, and Mrs. Barbara Hender-
son, State campaign chairman, has
marshaled her forces in desperate
fight for the bill.
