Boxer Dead After Knockout Blow

Fred Haefing, well known boxer, of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, was severely injured
in a bout August 28th and died the
next day in Atlantic Hospital.
Haefling was knocked out in the
eighth round of his bout with K. O.
Circus (Michael Aduca), of Pittsburg,
and was carried from the ring, neon
scious. 1t was believed then that his
collapse came from exhaustion and the
impact of the fatal blow.
Circus and Referee Sam Lewis were
held for the inquest to determine Cir
GUS responsibility for Haefiing's
death.
Boxing was legalized during the war
to allow men to drill for the army.
Strict rules were made for the fisti-
cuffs for the purpose of prohibiting
personal injuries. This death may be
called a rare accident, yet the class
and surroundings which draw crowds
with brutal instincts will o on lead to
the repeal of the law in peace times
which was permitted in wal times
when the moral structures were re-
Taxed.

Refuse Facts On Mooney

On the ground that publication of
such information would be incompat-
ible with the public interest, Secretary
Wilson has refused to furnish the
House a report on the present activi-
ties of the Labor Department in the
case of Thomas j. Mooney, who is
serving a life sentence after convic-
ton in connection with the prepared
ness day bomb explosion in San Fran
cisco in 1916.
The report was requested in a reso-
luton introduced by Representative
Blanton, Democrat, Texas.
In reply to a question about depart
ment activities since MONEYS SEN
t2nce was committed to life imprison-
Ilent, the Secretary said investiga-
tons of alien anarchists "have devel-
oped the clues that lead to the Mooney
case" and that these inquiries were
being continued.

Appeals To The People

The people will begin to realize the
mistake in electing such blind parti-
sans, enyious, jealous and vindictive
men to the U. S. Senate as Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, Phil
ander Knox, of Pennsylvania, H. C..
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, Hiram john
son, of California, and others who care
little or nothing about making peace
with Germany and a covenant to pro-
hibit war, so they can gain partisan
ends. They will go down in history
as the most reactionary bourbon OBJ
structionists in the worlds history,
and by their vituperative acts as help
ing Germany after that nation was
whipped on the battlefelds in France.
The blind partisans and little Amer
leans in the U. S. Senate after three
months of debate have refused to ap-
prove the peace treaty made in Paris.
To educate the people and arouse the
nation to the Importance of finishing
the war in the interest of the Allies
and holding Germany down to the full
fllment of certain obligations of re-
peration President Wilson left Wash
ington on Wednesday for a 10000
mile speaking tour to the Pacific
coast and return.
In making a treaty there must be
compromises, but the leading victors,
France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan
and the United States, the Big Five,
the greatest favors may be expected,
because they had to bear the biggest
work and expense.
The petty picking of flaws being
made and exploited by the partisan
newspapers to kill the prestige of
President Wilson is like magnifying
spots on the sum-.
All the financial forces of pro-Ger-
manism are back of those who are
giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
If fighting the approval of the Treaty
is not giving aid and comfort to Ger
many and all those in this country
who held with Germany, it is up to the
obstructionists to explain.
When President Wilson completes
his speech making tour some of those
refractory pro-Germans in the U. S.
Senate may realize the world pro
crosses and never stands still.

A Mitchell Palmer Confirmed

A Mitchell Planners appointment as
Attorney General of the United States
was confirmed by the U. S. Senate
last Friday. He was formerly custo-
dian of alien property, an account OF
which the Record has been publishing
for some weeks. About 1000 proper
ties to the value of nearly a billion
dollars owned by Germans and Aus
TRANS have been confiscated because
it was owned by alien enemies.
U. S. Senator Joseph Frelinghuysen,
of New Jersey, charged that Mr.. Pal
mer did not treat the Germans fairly.
He was the only Senator in Congress
who voted against taking this property
over and the only n to fight Mr..
Palmer's confirmation.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen is a disgrace to
the State of New Jersey and to the
Nation. His actions show that he has
more concern for German financial
interests with whom he was in part
nership in the insurance business than
the interest in having an early peace
and clearing German interests out of
this country.
