Washington, April 14.-Without a dissenting vote, the house, amid the plaudts of it's members and the gall leries, late today passed the $7,000,- 900 GOO war revenue authorization measure. One member, Representa- tive London of New York, the only socialist in congress, voted "present."
 Owing to general pairs and absen-. tees only 389 votes were recorded for the bll but both Democratic Leader Kitchin and Republican Leader Mann, asserted all of their members would have voted in the affirmative if they had been present.
 The formality of roll call would have been dispensed with if several members who voted against the war resolution had not insisted upon hav- ing the opportunity of recording themselves in favor of providing the money to carry on hostilities now that the nation is at war.
 The bill authorizes $5,000,0 100000 in bonds,, of which $3,0O0,000,000 will be loaned to the entente countries, and the issuance of treasury certificates of OO0,0OO,O0O, ultimately to he met by increased taxation.
 The passage Of the measure never was in doubt during the two days it was under consideration in the house, and favorable action by an overwhelm- ing vote is assured in the senate where it will be taken up Monday. The bill probably will be signed by President Wilson by the middle of next week.
 Five Amendments to Bill.
 Discussion ill the house was confin- ed chiefly to proposed amendments. Five were added, four of which were agreed to by the ways and means committee, and none of which materi- ally changes the intent of the bills framers.
 The two most important. drafted by Representative Lenrott of Wisconsin and accepted by the committee, would confine the proposed $S,000, 100000 allied loan to countries at war with Germany, and permit loans only dur ing the war. Others would prohibit the sale of the bonds at less than par. permit the purchase of foreign bonds at par, and limit the cost of the dis position of the $5,000,000,000 worth of bonds to 1-10 of per cent of the total issue.
 Representative Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of the appropriation committee, made the proposal to cut in half the cost of disposing of the bonds, originally of 1-5 of one per cent. MT. Kitchin, in charge of the measure, tried to offset the amend ment by inserting provision that the secretary of the treasury should ex- pend 1-5 of per cent or "as much thereof as necessary" but he failed.
 Congress Trusts President.

Corbett smiled when he was asked IL
he had a picture of himself and Sulli-

ty-five years ago.
Picture" said Corbett. as he stopped
digging into his melon; why they
never dreamed of taking pictures in
those days. Even the newspaper didn't
send photographers to the training
camps or the club houses. Artists they
did send, who made pen and ink
sketches. Any one who would have
thought to bring a camera and take pic

have cleaned up a neat sized fortune.
They simply didn't.
IF champions of years ago did what
fighters nowadays do they would be
Kissed out of the ring or disqualified by

They refuse to put up a good fight.
They are always on the defensive. They

Boxing. after all, simply means hit,
stop and get away. Fighters nowadays
have their minds set on getting away.
The fighters of to-day can become
champions and have LITTLE knowledge of
boxing. There is one thing. however.
l am quite sure of. and that is fighters
are born and not made. You can't make
fighters. but that's what they're doing
to-day, and they're not succeeding. That
sounds psradoxical. Nowadays the
game is entirely too commercialized. OF
coure a promoter is entitled to a re-
compense for getting up a big fight, but

What Corbett had to say on the art
OF training for fights now as compared
to olden times is interesting.
I put in three months of hard train

Sullivan. Nowadays lighters train two
weeks in the city for important bouts.
If fighter in my time took that
amount of training the public would
refuse TO attend the tight. They would
think something was wrong.

fight ever staged in America for the

the event Sept Z. the anniversary day

wei as world champion. Between re-

furlough for lunch. It was on one of

on the fight of twenty-five years ago.
