WILLARD FIGHT CALLED
"DOGHOOD" EXHIBITION
Minister Points Out Bad EXAM
pie TO Young Men.
A nnmher Of clergvmen Yesterday az

A number OF clergymen yesterday at
tackled the Willard Moran fight. which
was held Saturday night. The Rev. D.
II. Martin, pastor Of the Fort Washing
ton Presbyterian Church, said the fight
was a good exhibition Of doghood. but
not OF manhood.
such exhibitions Of fighting are a
bad example for young men," he said.
"They see professionals make fortune
in night, see them Landed on every
side. and those young men who are dis
satisfied with their present means OF
making living give serious thought 20,
and many do 20 into, professional fight
ing as a means OF get rich quick.
IF the good citizens Of New York
would do what the ministers and good
citizens Of Washington Heights did
there would be no such exhibitions Of
brutal force IN New York State"
The Rev. J. G. Day, pastor OF the
Labor Temple, Second Avenue and
Fourteenth Street, said:
81 think such fights brutalize the
people. Everybody admires strength
but, when used to draw blood, It degen-
crates"

MILLION CITIZENS
Will Agitate Local Option and
Federal Temperance
Amendment.

Washington. March 26-New York
State is soon TO feel the full force Of
the drive toward national prohibition.
The Anti-Saloon League Of America
announces that campaign force. in
GLIDING the ablest of its platform
speakers, will begin Immediately after
Easter a series Of not less than 1000
meetings covering all part Of the En-
pire State. Every village Of more than
200 population will be visited. The
campaign will push even into wholly
rural communities. At least 1000 900
citizens will be reached through this
effort Of the league.
A succession Of meetings will be con-
ceatrated In the larger cities. About
100 gatherings will be held in.the City
Of New York, dozen meetings each
in Buffalo and Rochester, and from
three TO five meetings each in Albany,
Troy, Binghamton. Elmira. Science
tady, Syracuse, Utica and Yonkers.
While the meetings are primarily on
behalf Of national prohibition, they
will bring nothing but misery TO those
authorities at Albany who stand be-
tween the people and their right TO
vote upon the liquor question in their
own communities. Each Of the speak
ers will have something definite to say
about the New York liquor regime in
addition TO giving his message in favor
Of the "dry" amendment 70 the ma
tional Constitution.

No Attempt TO Hide Past, Outside
Branch of Welfare League
IS Told.

Five men sat or the platform in the
assembly room in the Church Of the
Messiah last p .ght. Their appearance
was that Of five men whose lives had
flowed along in smooth, uninterrupted
courses, men who worked at honest
trades by day and spent their evenings
in the peace and quiet Of modest
homes
One Of them, left nameless by his
introducer. rose TO speak. "If you
passed me on the street" he asked his
audience, do you think you would pick
me for an ex-convict? Would you pick
nay companions as men who have done
time ?"
As one voice the audience shouted
"Noi"
The meeting was a Sunday night con-
ference az which the question OF estab-
llsning an employment bureau for con-
victs Tearing prison was discussed by
the eX-convicts. The outside branch Of
the Mutual Welfare League purposes
20 organize such bureau that men may
have q chance 90 live UP 90 the leagues
motto. Make good and DO good" by
having a job 20 step into when they
finish their terms.
The man who asked the question was
known p prison as "Sappo." because
as he put IL, "I was such a saphead
that J could not keep out" He has
served time In Auburn. in Sing Sing

some one would recognize him as an eX-
convict and he would be discharged.
Under the code Of the Mutual Welfare

URGES BETTER CARE
OF MENTALLY WEAK
State Board of Charities FavorS
More Institutions.
g . s,a- -. ., u -

Lfr1m etal correspondent Or 4fe TTlellel
Albany. March 6.-Establishmsnt
OF clearing houses FOR mental defec-
tives and better training and supeiyi-
sion in the public school system are
among the recommendations made BY
the State Board % Charities in It's an
nual report 20 the Legislature.
The board generally agrees with .he
conclusions Of the special state Com
mission on the Mentally Deficient IN its
report TO the effect that the facilities
OF the existing state institutions FOR
the mentally defective are inadequate
and should be largely increased. Il
makes provision for the care OF about
5000 Of this class. while the repre-
sentatises OF the commission have def
nitely learned OF $1,000 other mentally
defective persons, the majority OF
whom are likely to need care. OF this
number IL is estimated that near y
5000 are women and girls between the
ages OF sixteen and forty-fve.
Other recommendations Of the COM
mission approved are 10 the effect that
new Institution for epileptics should
be established in the southeastern part
Of the state and that two institutions
for menG.ly defective delinquents, one
for each sex, be established.
During the year ended September so,
1915. the institutions inspected by the
board cared for approximately 10000
benefciaries. as follows: Aged and
frieudless persons. 1912; almshouse in
mates, 1925; blind, 37l; deaf, l,772;
dependent children, 95,327; epileptics,
l.477; hospital patients, 23,si2; men
tally deficient, 1885; juvenile delin-
quents, 3.522; reformatory inmates
women and girls, 1865. A net total
increase Of 1855 is shown during the
preceding five years. Besides this mum
Der approximately $4,000 persons re-
ceived outdoor relief from public
sources during the year at total cost

GOV. HARRIS REVIEWS HIS
OWN RECORD IN SPEECHES
Doesn't CriticiSe His Oppo-
nentSr but Tells Audiences
of His Own Work
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)


WAYNESBORO, Ga, Sept. 4.-Gover-
nor Nat E. Harris opened the third week
OF his fast campaign here today, speak
ing to good audience though the hour,
10 o'clock was a bad one. He is to
speak in Sylvania this afternoon and
Springfield tonight, travelling by auto
mobile.
Governor Harris, in his addresses here,
dwelt upon his own record in private and
public life rather than upon the failings
Of his adversaries.
There isn't a bit Of use in talking
about the other fellows" one of his
friends here told him at breakfast
They're already licked anyway. Our
people just want to see you and hear
you talk"
The governor has pretty we'll stuck
to that course throughout his campaign.
Several times, when some fresh attack
by Mr.. Dorsey appeared in his Atlanta
newspaper, the only large daily in the
state supporting him, the governor has
answered the attack briefly and force
fully, and has followed this by showing
plainly the interests behind Mr.. Dorsey
and the one criminal trial that brought
him such notoriety that he decided he
could ride into office on Il. But most
been a dignified review of his own
OF his talks, here as elsewhere, have
work. upon which he says he is ready to
stand or fall
