THRU

Twice the bout between Vein
ert and Moha had been carded and
each time IL has been called off
by the promoters. After the first
postponement the commission or
dered that $3.50 be paid each of
the boxers for training expenses
and that the bout should be the
first to be staged in Madison
Square Garden.
Then it was postponed again
and was to have been held last
night but Jimmy Johnston or
some one decided 1t should not
be held. Then the commission
again took a hand and decided to
suspend the corporation until it
paid the $500 to each of the box
ers and agree to put on the
match.

ssThe Combat
Great Drama

"The Combat" with Anita
Stewart, closes at the Colonial to-
night. This photoplay is one of
the few that can be seen two or
three times without losing its
freshness.
The picture has a strong, orig
inal plot, well worked out. The
action is rapid and clean-cut, tes-
tifying to the skill of Ralph w.
Ince, who personally directed the
feature.
No expense was spared in maxi
ing the production. The settings
are elaborate and correct, wheth-

one brief scene an entire train

This is an unusually absorbing
feature, in which Miss Doro is

WILSON STANDS
PAT ON WOMAN
SUFFRAGE VIEWS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Prestdent
Wilson will stand pat" on his declara-
tions that the states and not the nation
should decide the question Of suffrage.
He will not declare in favor Of the
proposed constitutional amendment.
the white house said today, even
though the Women's party national
conference, now In session in Colorado
Springs adopts resolutions condemn
ing his candidacy.
On behalf of the president the state
ment was made at the white house
today that he espoused equal suffrage
as a state issue long before he bad
even decided to become a candidate
for reelection, and that he can not
change his position now to suit the
leaders of the suffrage movement in
the states where women have the
vote.
May Endorse Hughes.
The presidents political managers
will not be surprised should the Colo
RADIO Springs conference endorse the
candidacy of Justice Hughes.
Meanwhile. as Justice Hughes con-
tinues his western trip directly charg-
ing the administration with political
log rolling" violation of the civil ser
vice." extravaganza in Office" and in
capacity in administering the affair> Of
the country" the bitterness in admins
tration circles continues. 1t is under
stood that the president, at the sug-
gestion of certain of his admirers, has
made radical changes in certain por
tions of his speech of acceptance. and
probably will make more before the
message is delivered.
