Leonard Should Win

Encouraged by his success in scoring
'knockouts I'm nearly every one of his
last dozen battles, Benny Leonard is
giving away some several pounds in
taking ON Jack BrittOn tonight. De-
spite warnings that he was tampcr-
Ing with dangerous piece Of ma
chlncry In taking ON the welterwcight.
Leonard is worrying not and there
seems TO be little reason why he
should. Unless BrittOn has taken on
weight recently and Leonard has re-
duced. there will not be more than
eight pounds difference. a difference
that should not worry the lightweight
champion. As far as power Is con.
cerned, BrittOn docs not land as hard
rs many OF the llghtwcights whom
Leonard has met and conquered with
out suffering any real Inconvenience
himself. And Mr.. BrittOn will have
to show considerable dexterity and
absorbent qualities to prevent his
name being written alongside those
who have fallen before.

he ranged up alongside Herman he
realized that he was giving a weight
handicap that absolutely precluded
the possibility OF him winning. In
this frame of mind he had whaled
away for several rounds and was
firing under the superior weight of his
opponent when the referee showed
him back rather roughly and said
something to him which no one but
Jackson could hear. Straightway
Jackson lost his head and struck. and
that one blow lost him many friends.

Washington. Sept. 24.-Roused by

"Whatever tends to break down con-

years there has been an attempt by
certain interests and certain newspapers

there never has been a specific charge
against any member-only general SIAN
ders.
'But now comes from member of
this body a specific accusation. Repre-
sentative Heflin says he can name thir-
teen or fourteen men who, inferentially,
took of this German gold.
"We may talk of pacifists and trai-

crime than for member to charge cor

The house burst into prolonged cheer

pounded vigorously for order.

Heflin sought to explain his remarks.
But half dozen accusing members rose
to their feet with pointed queries.
! "Did or did you not make such a
statement to the pressR" asked one.
sTThe press said that said it on the
floor" evaded Heflin. 81 said it in
the lobby"
The house laughed.

Representative More of Pennsylvania
demanded that the clerk take down
Heflin IS words that there "are German

Heflin. "I didn't mean to say there

Representative Gordon of Ohio de-
manded that Heflin "stick to the

Taking another tack, Heflin said he
had right to say that certain mem-
bers had acted suspieiously.
They have not conducted them

honor and patriotism," he said.
There was a chorus from all over the

There was another chorus of "boos"

all members and took his seat.

disregard the rules, Fordney 3 resolution

that certain members had acted recent

Eastern Oregon for week returned
yesterday having held eleven hearings
in that time. The principal one was at
Sumpter, where the Sumpter Valley
Railroad was attempting to move the
depot a considerable distance from its
old location and practically out of the
city. While there is but little left of
the old mining town those remaining
want to rebuild and want the depot
placed on the old site. Just before the
fire Sumpter had subscribed $4,000
for the Red Cross, but the fire left it
broke and in need of the money it
gave so literally. The depot will be
placed on the old site if built now, but
it was suggested it be held up for
awhile until just what the town would
do in the way of rebuilding was de-
cided.
Another important hearing was that
of the application for logboom on
the Minan river.
