FAyoRS BOXING
Believed He Would Sign Bill in
Illinois If Same Were Prop
erly Safeguarded.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 14.-Governol
Dunno will sign a boxing bill If one
gets to him that has proper safe
guards. This is the best that may be
said for the success Of the measure
favored by ring promoters after a
anvas of the situation.
IL While the governor is not talking
his mind, it is understood he favors
the proper kind Of a bill. Legislators
who will have to assume responsible
ty first for, such a measure declare
the state executive is taking no chan
ces in this attitude.
Have High Hopes.
Responsible leaders see no life for
the boxing game this season any more
than in previous general assemblies, in
which the breath was choked out OF
boxing bills after the fashion OF legis-
iators.
This session starts off as the last
one did, with the boxing game promo
tiers in high hopes. Conservative lead
ers say there is no chance, that the
situation is the same as in other
sessions and that promising talk IS
buncombe. t.
Country members will never stand
for a boxing bill, and it is foolish for
the promoters to build up hopes"
said Homer J. Tice, Republican leader.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 14.-That the peo-

demand a government that will en-
courage rather than hamper the de-

this message would be followed by
special messages dealing more com,

stricter economy in state expenses.
He said that the people were owe
burdened with taxes and that thu
cost of government had increased
from ~$6,046,565 in 1900 to SIS. 142 ITO
in 1914. He urged closer adherence
to constitutional government and the
enactment of a law to give the exec

IN CANAL CRUISE
Opening Of Pan-American Expo
sition to be Attended by Am
erican Fleet. w.

Washington, Jan. 14.-ApprOVed b.
congress of a change in plans for the
cruise Of the Atlantic fleet and visit
ing foreign war vessels to San Fran
cisco to celebrate the opening Of the
Panama canal was all that was need
ed today to make the program for the
event complete.
When congress authorized the
cruise it was expressly provided that
the United States should invite the
maritime nations Of the world to send
naval vessels to Hampton Roads in
connection with the celebration. The
European war has made this imposs1-
BILE and the plan has been abandoned.
In announcing the program secre-
tary Daniels said that instead Of the
international rendezvous at Hampton
Roads the vessels would proceed d.
rectly to Cristobal, at the entrance
to the canal, and pass through to the
Pacific side at stated intervals.
The secretary points out htat the
isthmus would be Il more civil gather
ing place both for thu American feet
and the few visiting vessels that will
participate. Thus far only Spain Por-
tugal, Argentina and Cuba have ac-
cepted invitations.
Legislation by congress will now
be necessary to make the change III
the program and Secretary Daniels
said today he was confident that it
would be forthcoming Immediately.
While Colonel Goethals has said
that he could not guarantee passage
through the canal because of earth
the program has been prepar-
ed with the view that it will be pos
sible. The vanguard of the Atlantic
fleet will pass through the canal Feb
ruary 26, followed by other vessels
daily until March 10. At that time
President Wilson, aboard the battle
ship New York, will transfer to the
old Oregon for the trip through the
canal.

Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 14.-Secretary
Houston of the Department of Agri:
culture took an optimistic view Of the

ably control the home market except
for things which cannot be produced
here, and will be called upon increas.

banking system for long time loans

ing through private funds and l favor
legislation, especially by the states
and if possible also by the Federal
government stimulating and encourag.

~ do not favor Intervention by the
Federal government or the state to
the extent of voting money out of the
treasury or of using, the credit of
state or Federal government to sup
port either system, which would mean
in effect, to take money contributed
by all the people to lend to a particu-
lar class of the people. This motion
