Jack curIey and Tom Jones Both
Claim to be Champion Jess
Wizards Head
Man.
BOTH ARRANGING BOUTS
curIey Has Matched White Champ to
Fight Dillon and Jones 10 Fish
ing for Go With
Moran.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Feb. 3-Maybe pre-
liminary bout will be staged in Chi
cago today or tomorrow between
Jack Curley and Tom Jones, both OF
whom claim to be Jess Willard's
manager, that will be almost as in.
teresting as the Willard-Dillon, Will
tlard-Moran or Willard-Whoeverit
ingtobe bout scheduled for this
| spring.
Jack Curley has matched Willard
to fight Jack Dillon ten rounds here
between April 10 and April %. Jones
hasn't said much Of anything about
| any bout for Jess, but he has toler-
ated some talk of a Willard-Moran
go along in March. Curley is on his
way to Chicago to talk it over with
Jones. Willard seems to be the only
guy in the seuabble who doesn't get
look-in on the argum ent as to who
is managing him.
Before he went away, Curley pass
ed about for publication copy of
the Willard Dillon fight agreement be-
tween Sam Murbarger for Dillon and
Harry Pollok and himself for Willard.
This agreement upon which Jones has
not commented gives Dillon the right
to mix with Frank Moran any time
between now and the date OF his go
with Willard, automatically eliminat-
ing Moran as Willard challenger II
Dillon whips him.
Another angle of the snarl popped
up when Tex Richard, who has offer
ed Tom Jones 100000 for the Willard
Moran battle in New York sometime
in March, talked with Jones over the
telephone and reported that Jones
said he would give him an answer as
to whether he would arrange the
bout, today. Richard says Jones said
the Willard-Dillon talk was "ridicu-
lous and that he alone is Wizards
manager.
Looks Like Business.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-For the first
time since f1ocks Of promoters start
ed their wild bidding for the services
OF Jess Willard, champion heavy.
weight, Tom Jones Willard's manag-
like business.
After spiking numerous rumors, in
GLIDING one that willard and Jack
Dillon had been matched to meet in
New York, Jones announced today
that promoters will be here this aft
ernoon to bid for .Ae champions
services and that matters may be set
tied There is absolutely no chance
OF Willard meeting Dillon, Jones de-
clared, and the champion backed him
up, stating the hoosier is too light and
that a match between him and the
Kansan would wreck the fight game
forever.
Promoters due to arrive today were
Jack Curley, Tex Richard and his
partner, McCTacken, from New York,

Being busily engaged in the inves- tigatlon of private and corporate busi- ness affairs in recent years, the fed eral government has had little time to investigate its own business. Hap oily this urgent need is to be met by private philanthropy. The Rockefel- Ter endowments for the service of the public are to be utilized for this pur- pose. An institute for government research has been created and is to begin the task of assaying public busi ness methods at once, task that is
 Government has long been awaiting an intelligent survey; uot only federal, but city town and village government as well. Public business, being every body's business, has been nobody's business for many years For the most part it has been a huge. unwieldly ma chine constructed largely for the pur- pose of giving legal color to the col lection. appropriation and expediture of public money. The federal business office has been waiting over-long for a housekeeping. and a force of experts will have much to do to wade through the dust.
 Municipal research has been found highly useful. In New York it has saved taxpayers some millions of dol lars annually, and has been found pro- portionatelF effective wherever under taken intclligently.
 If the Rockefeller commission 8ill check over government waste and ,n- efficiency, and suggest workable econ omical, sensible business systems for the various departments, with the red tape eliminated as far as possible, it will have performed a great service for the public.

community a pitiable wreck of what under certain other conditions might have been. His condition touched the sympathy of some of the jurors and court officials who threw their fees in the hat along with some other kind hearted people and thus twenty five bucks was raised for the poor chap. The city authorities very wisely ar ranged for his fare out as an indigent person. Thus the city got rid of a decidedly undesirable person. It is to be hoped that the stimulus of life outside may awaken spirit in the fel- low so that he will go to work and get on his feet.

We ask "How's the war going?" and then pick up the paper and read six or eight dispatches telling about enga gements at different places. We must not allow ourselves to think of these battles, terrific as they usually are, as the war itself. They are only eruptions along the long lines of bat lie front. Whether there are any en- agreements given out or not we should the time. The hundreds of miles of front in France, the long Russo Teu- bristlig with bayonets which surrounds the central powers all are the scenes of continual struggle. Night and day, rain or shine, there is continual rife fire. Artillery of varying sizes is con- tinually booming, men are always dy- ing, always being carried to the rear crippled, or insane. The mill of the great war is always grinding and it is continually sending out it's grist of mangled human beings. The more i'm portant struggles, where unusual ac- tivity is for the moment displayed, are given out to satisfy the demands of the people at home for news from the front. But the war itself is constant, it is always in progress.

The street railway employees in New York doubtless have just cause for de- manding more pay and shorter-we have never seen street railway yet who seemed to us adequately recom- pensd for thir labor especially in view of the fact that their occupation is very severe on the legs and kidneys and cannot be followed, as a rule, for more than a decade or two.

There's something doing all the time in the steamship business along the Pacific Coast up to Alaska. If it isn't passengers, then its freight. When it gets too good, a new company insists on sitting in and taking a hand. After a while there's a meager, or combine, or some big fellow buys the whole chese. It's a good, live industry either in small or large way and is worth the attention of the biggest men, for Alaska is sure to keep on coming in one way or other.
