After a discussion fasting several

Reference of the House bill to con-

was a substitute for the Senate's
legislation.
Appointment of the Senate mana

are expected to begin soon. Several
senators declared during the debate
yesterday that House and Senate diff

JAPAN CABINET CHANGE
LOCAL BEARING ONLY
Not to Affect Joint Movement for
Relief of Czecho-Slovaks,
Observers Say.

AS viewed in well informed quar-
tiers in Washington. the change in the
cabinet of Japan is indicative Of an
upheaval in domestic politics without
particular bearing upon foreign rela-
tions. It is not expected. to alter the
understanding by which Japan is par
ticipating in the joint movement for
the relief of the Cze cho -Slovaks in ST.
IBERIA, in which the United States has
a part.
The ascendancy in domestic politics
of the Sei-Yu-Kai party is expected
to be productive of possible progress
sive reforms in local government, al
though it is noted that the adher-
ence Of other factions VIII be neces-
sary to give the Sei-Yu-Kai a straight
majority IN the diet
One Of the possible reforms, look
ing toward a more liberal govern
ment, said to be the aim Of the Sci
Yu-Kai, is the formation Of a cabinet
more responsible to the legislative
branch of the government.

"Inasumch as the men in the

Col. Rees, would be there relatively

seems feasible to allow all men in the
corps to participate in all athletic con-

receive maximum amount of physical

as will bring physical training to all of

LEWIS GIVES LEONARD
SCRAP Of his CAREER
Rival Champions Punnel Each
Other Without Much Advantage
on Either Side.

NEW YORK, September 24-when
Benny Leonard and Ted kid Lewis,
the lightweight and welterweight
champions. finished their eight-round
bout at Weidenmayers Park, in New
ark, last night the honors were about
even, although Lewis gave Leonard
the toughest scrap of his career. The
cleverness and aggressiyeness Of
Lewis were always evident to make
barrier for Benny's skillful glove
work. and, If anything. he had shade
the better Of the argument.
Lewis was so quick that Leonard
was never able to take the upper
hand, as he has done against his other
opponents. Leonard executed the
only damage that was done in the
fight when he opened a cut over Ted's
right eye in the middle Of the scrap
It was case of two ring masters
both handling themselves SO cautious
ing was of the defensive sort. Not
once during the eight rounds was
either of the glove experts able to
land a blow that even resembled
Knockout punch.
Lewis long arms were constant
worry to the lightweight champion,
and Lewis made good use OF them, es-
pecially in the infghting.
But when Lewis was travelling at
his fastest pace Leonard was ever
ready to sidestep and duck the wild
swings which Lewis started but rare
ly ever finished.

What may be termed a terpsicho-

Gayety this week by the New Social

Eta Pillard, we'll known opponents of
eccentric and original dancing. The
features last night ranged from a
strictly unique dance by Miss Pill
lard. which she did while poised on
her neck and shoulders, to well rem
dered Highland fling by Mabel Blake.
George Stone exhibited some new
steps in a series of novelty dances
and did much to enliven the action of
the burlettas, though at times he
overdevoted himself to slap-stick
comedy. Eta Pillard pleased with
her freshness and vigor, and had to
respond to numerous demands for
more dancing and acrobatic skill.
While the usual number of songs were
sung, no particular voice stood out
from the rest of the company. The
chorus is larger than usual, well cos
TUNED, and shows skill in numerous
dances,
