mission by private organizations taking
over the functions of the government
III am convinced that the present
spirit Of unrest which is upsetting
business and trade conditions, and
which, am afraid, will lead us into a
great economic and industrial crisis,
is directly attributable to the political
fads, fancies, foibles and 'isms' that
have been allowed to run rampant.
declare to you now that in my opinion
the present spirit of unrest can be
traced to the Anti-Saloon League,
which, while we were all so busily en-
gagged in wiping out autocracy across
the seas, injected the question of pro-
hibition, which has upset business, eco
nomc and political conditions, so that
to-day instead of being a united peo-
pie, working harmoniously together, we
are stressed by turmoil and strife.

"The American people are patient
people; they are slow to anger; but as
have gone over this state | find in

there is great feeling of unrest and
men everywhere are asking the ques-
tion of whether this nation is to be a
free nation or if we are to be sub
scrvient to and under the control of
self-appointed rulers, who have set out
to steal away our liberties and to chain
US to the wheels of the chariot of pro-
hibition.
81 want to say to you, gentlemen,
that the Anti-Saloon League is even
afraid to submit the question of pro-
hibition to the vote of the people of
New Jersey, because it knows that this
state will repudiate the iniquitous
measure, which only makes for hypoc-
risy and the evasion of all laws, and
which is not and never will be enforce
able.
81 am proud of the fact that New
Jersey rejected prohibition during the
last session of the Legislature. I am
proud of my connection with the draft
ing of the resolution that rejected it,
and likewise am proud of the Demo
cratic Assemblymen who voted to re-

court, yesterday sustained a demurrer
to an Indictment against Joseph Baum
gartner, an officer Of the Bakersfield

The enormous risk taken by Gene
Melady in promoting the Stecher-
Lewis Fourth of July wrestling
match can be best estimated when
it is considered that the initial cost
is greater than it would be to pro-
mote a similar event in Madison
Square Garden New York, with a
seating capacity of 10000
The rent of the New York build
ing for one day is about 81 ESQ, with
all accommodations furnished. The
Auditorium will cost the Omaha
promoter $500. Installation of seat
ing arrangements sufficient to care
for the large crowd which has sig
nifed its intention of attending,
and a cooling apparatus to provide
for the comfort of the mat fans,
will cost an additional $1,000.
Other expenses connected with
the event will raise the risk in

In speaking of the risk. Mr. Mel
ady said: II could not afford to IN
ter into an undertaking of this kind
if | did not make a practice of only
securing the best talent in the attn
letic world. The people have
learned that l will not tolerate me
diocre performers and I am sure of
a crowd large enough to pay ex-
penses."
The public has been safeguarded
for the coming match by the most
stringent regulations in the history
of sportdom. After three years of
untiring effort, Melady has sue
ceeded in tying Stecher and Lewis
in knot that insures the public that
they will have to deliver the goods"
or not get dime for their services,
and in addition lose their forfeit of

This is Stecher's last chance to
show the people OF Nebraska the
stuff he is made of. His host of
admirers are as loyal as when he
first started on his sensational climb

Notwithstanding the fact that he has

Former World
Story Of
Kid Graves, Once Holder
of Welterweight Honors,
Off for Scene of
Battle.

The Omaha Bee will present to
readers, the best obtainable on the
Willard Dempsey championship
fight at Toledo, July 4. Kid Graves,
formerly welterweight champion Of
the world, now retired, is sporting
editor of The Bee and will be at
the ringside to report the fight for
this paper. He will send bulletins
describing the battle, blow for blow,
after each round.
To have former champion re-
port the fight for a championship
is not the only feature The Bee viii
offer its readers. Frank G. Menke,
known all over the world as one Of
the most brilliant sporting writers,
sporting editor for the Universal
Service will also have special story
on the big tussle. Kid Graves story
will appear Friday evening and Sat-
urday morning. Menke's story will
be prepared for Sundays edition
The story of a great fight by two
great writer's.
In presenting the story of this
battle by Kid Graves, the Omaha
Bee is offering novelty in news
paper work. This ex-boxer was the
welterweight champion of America
for four years. Entered in the Inter-
national welterweight elimination
tournament staged by the Broadway
Sporting Club of New York to de-
eide worlds champion. Graves
won, knocking out Kid Alberts, the
Canadian champion in the second
round of the final bout of the tour
ney.
Defeat All Chaperones.
Prior to this bout, Graves and Al
berts had defeated the champions
of Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland,
France, Switzerland, Spain, Austria
liza, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. {
The Canadian champion was figured
to win as he had met the hardest
opposition in the Italian, Swedish,
Spanish and Scotch contenders.
Graves had polished off the Irish,
French, English, Australian and
Swiss champs rather easily and it
was thought that he had had easier
going than had Alberts. Upon en-
tering the ring, the Canadian was
the favorite. 1t was an even money
proposition after the first round,
Graves having a slight advantage
because of his superior cleverness.
The knockout came in about the
middle of the second round.
The knockout blow was left
hook to the temple. but Alberts did
not fall to the floor, being pinned
in the corner on the ropes. Graves
looked to his corner for instructions
and his father, who was his chief
handler, signalled the Kid for
body blow. A light right to the
stomach and Alberts fell on his face,
knocked out for over half an hour.

PECORD CHOSEN
AS REFEREE FOR
WILLARD FIGHT
Officials for Championship
Bout Include Richard,
Major BiddIe, Jack Sicily
and Warren Barbour.

Toledo, Ohio, June 27.-Ollie
Pecord, official referee of the To-
ledo Boxing commission, will be
the third man in the ring when Jess
Willard and Jack Dempsey meet in
their heavyweight championship
contest here July 4.
Tex Richard, promoter of the
contest, and Maj. A. ]. Drexel Bid
die a wealthy sportsman OF Phlla-
| delphia. were selected to serve with
Pecord as judges of the contest.
| Jack Sicily, a veteran ring official
| of Yonkers, N. Y, was chosen al
ternate referee and w. Warren Bar
bour of New York, official time
keeper.
Richard Makes Announcement.
Appointment of these officials was
made by Promoter Richard today
| upon the receipt of a telegram from
Adam Empie, secretary of the Army,
Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing
Control, which undertook the task
of making the selections. Major
Biddle is president of the boxing
control board.
The announcement that Richard
and Biddle have been named judges
caused a sensation. records selec
ton as a referee had been forecast,
but the names of Richard and Bid
die had scarcely been associated
with the official question.
Major Biddle was noted as an
amateur boxer and has been promi-
nently identified with all amateur
sports.
Major Biddle comes from an old
and distinguished Philadelphia fam
lily. He was in the service of the
nation during the war and since the
armistice was signed has been busy
in his efforts to keep boxing on the
high plane it gained through sane
ton of the government during the
war. He was one of the organizers
Of the Army, Navy and Civilian
| Boxing Control.
Richard stands high in the est
nation of nearly every one connect
ed with professional boxing. When
Jeffries and Johnson were unable to
agree on the third man in the ring
for their championship contest at
Reno, New, in 1910 Richard, who
was the promoter of that battle, re-
creed it with the confidence of both
men. The es-Johnson fight
was the only contest in which Rick
ard ever officiated.
The selection of Pecord is regard
! ed as concession to the Toledo
Boxing commission under whose
license the Willard-Dempsey match
will be staged. He is regarded as an
extremely capable ring official. Al
though he is not widely known. he
has officiated in more than 400 con-
tests, and was himself formerly d
professional boxer He is 81 years
old
Willard Demanded Richard.
! The appointment of Richard as
one of the judges was one of the de-
mands of Champion Jess Willard,
Richard said today.
Il would much rather had some
one else take the job" Richard said
but Willard held out for me, even
suggesting me as referee He was
so insistent in his demands that I
finally had to accept"
Pecord will be in complete charge
of the boxers while they are in tie
ring. If the contest results in a
knockout he will have sole charge
of the counting. If the contest goes
the l2-round limit, the two judges
will attempt to decide the winner,
and if they fail to agree Pecord vii
cast the deciding vote.
