BILL TO PREVENT BOXING.
New York Senator Would Put Ban
on All sparrinE Matches.

Albany, N. Y, April ga bill that
would not only make it crime to en-
gage in a prize fight or public boxing
exhibition. but would also put the ban
on private sparring matches. has been
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Sam Jones, of Chenango county
Anyone engaging in such a fight
with or without gloves, or aiding or
encouraging it, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor," reads the Jones bill.
o Jones said last night that the rea-
son why he did not put in a bill to
repeal the Frawley Boxing Law was
because the repeal of that statute
would still leave in force that section
OF the penal law which does not pro-
hibit public and private sparring ex-
hibitions II no admission fee is
charged.

The institution was lost in the Great Veto, but ,hise who have been interested in the proposed school refuse to become discouraged. Dr. Brough and Secretary Hodges are both pledged to the proposition, show ing the popularity of the plan, and It is believed that pressure will be brought to bear upon the law-makers that will be irresistible The people throughout the state who are in faVo: Of the school are urged to confer with tneir legislators and get them com n.ii:tod to it.
 One Of the principal workers fer the schcol is Miss Julia Houston Of Pine Puff. chief probation officer of JeI- ferseh county, who recently visited tte s.9tc industrial home for girls at Gtillicothe, Mo. She tcok a ward of the Jefferson court tc that school. and $.sss.,s::

 Miss Houston found in the C.3ilii- ccthe home 22O immoral, ;ncorrigiblc or etherwise delinquent girls under Is years of age, most of them under It, many of them from the underworld o1 St. Louis and Kansas City, They are

With the new in- terests and responsibilities which Ashdown has taken up- on herself it is all the more im- portant that cool judgment should be used in the selection of men who may offer them selves to fill the various posi- tions of responsibility.

JEFFERSON HIGHWAY.

T. is better that the Arkan- sas convention of the Jefferson Highway at Fort Smith this week did not definitely settle the route of the proposed road through this state. The Hope people with the Hot Springs crowd would swing the road that way; the Texarkaba, Ash down, DeQueen, Mena, Fort Smith Crowd would swing it up the Kansas City Southern. Set tie the controversy definitely and what would be the result? The people along the route that won would conclude the battle over and promptly go to sleep and forget to build the road. That is what Oklahoma seems to have done. So long as it depends on who builds the best roads and builds them first there remains the incentive to do and to build In the end we have the roads whether we call them Jefferson or Jeff Davis, Hodges, Trough or Smith Highways We are going to win this Jefferson Highway by first getting up the enthus- iasm and then in building the actual roads. and in no other way. It's got to be settled by cooperation, and it is a per sonal matter with each man living along each foot of the road.
