When the committee met today a
long discussion was started by an
announcement by Senator Overman
that Secretary Baker had refused to
give the committee information con-
corning an investigation by the war
department of alleged ro-German
sentiments of F. J. H. Won Engelken,
former president of the Federal Farm
Loan Bank at Columbia, s. C.
Afeer th5 discussion had continued
some time and Mr. Baker had been
severely criticised his letter to Chair
man Overman was read. The secre-
tary wrote that ~ would permit the
committee or its counsel to examine
the record as to Mr.. Won Engelken.
to determine it's usefulness to the in
curry, but added that he did not be-
lieve the information would be of the
slightest assistance"
The report of the military intelli-
gence division of the army, according
to an except quoted by Mr.. Baker,
said that Mr.. Won Engelken was loyal
to the. United States, although "his
conduct prior to the entrance of this
country into the war, as we'll as
since, has caused him to be much
criticised man."
The committee took no action on
Mr.. Bakers proposal.

SAY CRoWDER WAS
NOT REPRIMANDlED

Washington, Feb. 4.-Discussions
at the capitol Of published reports
that Provost Marshal Crowder had
been reprimanded by General March,
CHEZ Of staff, led the war department
to authorize a statement today that
General Crowder's entire military rec
ord was unmarried, and to disclose
the origin Of the reprimand story.
It was stated that when the second
draft was being planned General
March and General Crowder differed
over then provision for medical exam
inations and exchanged letters on the
subject. The language of brief alb
Istract of General March's letter which
went to division headquarters in the
course Of departmental routine was
construed by General Crowder as i'm
plying a reprimand and he took the
matter UP with Secretary Baker. The
Secretary wrote in reply that he found
no reprimand was intended, but to
make this clear, he had the language
to which the general objected altered.

DEMPSEY WILL GET
$4,000 TO FIGHT
JESS WILLARD
Kearns and Richard Come to Final
Agreement.

New York. Feb. Jack Kearns
manaser for Jack Dempsey. tonight
reached an oral agreement with Tex
Rlckard whereby he matched Demp
sey to meet Jess Willard for S27,5OO
and one-third of the motion picture
rights. The time and place of the
match were not fixed.
Both Kearns and Richard agreed
to post $4,000 when the agreement i,
signed on Dempsey's arrival here
from Salt Lake City. Richard viii.
post 25 per cent Of Dempsey's share
go days before the bout
Fifty five minutes of discussion
was required before the promoter and
Dempsey's manager reached mu-
tual financial plan.
Wants $33,333.
kearns opened the conference by
offering to mach Dempsey against
Willard for one third of the $780,
600 the champion is to receive, but
Richard refused to give $33,333 to
the Salt Lake City heavy weight and
countered with proposition of $685.
OOO and one third of the moving pic
ture rights. Kearns finally reduced his
terms to $4,000 and Richard raised
his to $27, 500 and for time neither
appeared willing to change his fig
ures.
. The conference was held in the
presence of number of newspaper
writer's and when the deadlock had
continued sometime, Richard suggest
ed that the size Of Dempsey's share OF
the purse be left to them. A blind
ballot was taken and Richards fig
ures won by a margin of almost three
to one.
+ With the main detail settled, the
other features were easily arranged.
An understanding was reached that,
the terms would be drawn up in legal
form and the contract signed as soon
as Dempsey reaches this city, which,
Will probably be not later than Friday.
To Pay Expenses.
In addition to the forfeit deposits
Richard agreed to pay the travelling
expenses of Dempsey and his train
ing party in case the fight was held
outside of North America. Willard
and Dempsey will have the selection
of the referee who must be agreeable
to Richard. and in case the two fight
ers cannot agree, the promoter will
then name his choice, which will be
final Richard said that under no cir
cumstances will he act as referee as he
did in the Jeffries-Johnson fight In
Reno on July 4th, 1910.
No date or place for the contest,
which, under the contract, calls for
not more than forty rounds, has been
selected. Richard expects to stage the
bout on July 4th, but said tonight that
he had not the slightest idea where
he, would finally erect his arena, He
has until March 25th to announce the
site and the boxers must train at
least six weeks at the scene of the
battle. The price of tickets probably
will range from ten to fifty dollars.
/ Under the present agreement, the
total amount Of the purse for the two
heavyweights reaches $127,5OO which
is the largest sum ever offered for a
pugilistic encounter in any weight
|class. It exceeds by $4,000 the $751;
1000 record purse paid to Jeffries and
johnson.
No value can be fixed upon the
moving picture rights at present. The
syndicate Of moving picture men who
paid $150,0O0 for five sixths of the
Jeffries- johnson rights collected re-
ceipts of $375,000 on their venture.
