RAILROAD VALUATION
DISCUSSED N HOUSE
Lower Body Takes Up Appro.
priation Of S3,000,000 to
Continue Work.

Resuming consideration OF the sundry
civil bin today, the House began fight
over the item in the bill appropriating
$3,UVO,OOO for continuing the work OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the physical valuation Of railroads.
Congressman Gillett, q Massachusetts
Republican, had pending an amendment
to strike the entire appropriation from
the bill. He contended that the rhysi-
cal valuation has amounted to little
so far, that the work Is being dragged
out. and that threatened Treasury
deficit made a 100000 appropriation at
this time unwise. Congressman Levy of
New York offered an amendment re- re-
ducing the appropriation to l.1o.WO
and directing the commission to cxpe-
d,te it's work. An agreement was
reached last night to debate the amend
ments at length today.
The House is taking it's time In dis
cussing the sundry civil budget and
reports are current that Republicans
are staging a mild nlibuster. tearing
that the Administration shipping bill
may be brought into the House. In ad-
vance Of Senate action. II the House
calendar becomes clear Of appropria-
ton bills. Republicans deny that fill
buster is in progress. but II is apparent
that the sundry civil budget is being
debated In desultory and deliberate
fashion.

Jimmy Dufy's Birthday

Jimmy Duffy. the boy who put Loekport, N. Y., on the sporting map, will pass his twenty-fourth milestone today. The crack lightweight boxer was born in sLockport, and is of Hibernian descent. His first ring con- tests were fought in 1909, and since then he has been, among the busiest of boxers, and has won a place among the leading lightweight contenders of America. He came into prominence in 1912, when he made an excellent showing with Freddie Welsh and Packey Mcfarland and defeated Knockout Brown in Buffalo. He also won on a foul from Leach Cross in New Y ork. In 1913 he won on a foul from Jack Britton in Buffalo, and fought many of the best Iightweights of Arnerican. Last November in Buffalo, Jimmy made Freddie Welsh travel his fastest to defend his light weight title. At Milwaukee last ~Janu- ary Duffy had the shade on Johnny Dundee, the Scotch Wop, and since I then he has made a good record against other stars of the lightweight division. Duffy is said to be cleaning g up about $15,OO0 a year from his fstic activities, which is pretty fair for a boy of twenty-four.
