HAP PGOOD DENIES RELATIONS WITH RUSSIAN SOv|ETS
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 Norman Hapgood issued statement here to- night in explanation of his resignation as minister to Denmark, in which he categoricalIS denied having expressed sympathy for, or having had relations with the soviet government of Russia. He declared his views have not changed regarding the maintenance of the blockade and that he still believes bolshevism is strengthened by it, not only in Russia, but elsewhere, 'in pro- portion as Europe suffers rom the in- ability to get raw material and food from Russia and to send her manu- factured articles in return
 Charges that Mir. Hapgood has been in friendly relations with Lenine and Trotzky. were originally made in Har- vey's Weekly. The former minister said that one of his reasons for asking to be released from the diplomatic ser vice was the necessity of answering Colonel George Harvey's' falsehoods. His attack was foolish and vindictive' he asserted.
 MT. Hapgood said he has been op- posed to communism all his life and denounced the charge that he was a plenipotentiary of Lenine and Trotzl<y as a ''grotesque falsehood." He char acterized an accusation that he had used the American legation at Copen- hager as a,"trading post for the soviet government as -despicable.'
 MT. Hapgood explained that Alex ander Berkenhein, representing IT,. 900, 900 cc-operatives of Russia, came to America with a letter from Prince Kropotlxin and they met. He said he agreed with the Russian that the best way to overcome bolshevism was to re store trade and he gave Berkenheim letters to government officials here, urging to be permitted to ship out piled up stores of flax and hemp val- ued ct $300.000, 900 awaiting export in possession of the co-operatives and to import machinery, shoes and medicine Out of this, MT. Hapgood said. grew the false charge that he had made~~'re = peated oycrtures' in Wall street, to finance the bolsheviki, Berkenheim being so anti-bolshevist, he stated, as to have been arrested five times.

TUCSON, Dec. 30-Kid Palmer o1 Douglas ,cas given a decision over Happy Woods of Tucson tonight when Woods seconds threw a towel in the ring in the sixth round. Woods was completely. outclassed from the first tap of the gong and hung on to his opponent during almost the entire fight. Palmer landed blows almost at will to Woods head and body and led in the fighting from start to finish. Woods hitherto famous knockout punch was conspicuous by its absence. After trying to knock out Palmer sev- eral times without being able to even hit the soldier, Woods appeared to lose interest in his own blows and de- voted his time to keeping close to Palmer. The bout was witnessed by the largest crowd that ever attended q boxing match in this city.

ST. LOUIS, Deg. So.-Quoting fronl President Wilson, General Wood and Theodore Roosevelt. Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michi- gan told the American Association for the Advancement of Science to- cay, that it was time to determine whether we had not better abandon the idea of the league of nations be- fore it was entered upon.'
 President Wilson has admitted, as to the scheme for which he stands sponsor before the world that, with an uncharted sea- said Professor Hobbs. We need then, the advice of those best qualified to forecast the storms we are likely to encounter and to determine whether We had not bet ter abandon the adventure before II $ entered upon The real question before the American people has from the start been one of the reliability of judgment of it's political prophets
 Quotes Presidents
 In quoting President Wilson, Pro- lessor Hobbs said:
 Standing in the presence of the as sembled delegates to the peace confer ence at the formal presentation of the covenant of the league of nations. Woodrow Wilson declared of this in- strument:
 's It is definite as a guarantee of peace. It is definite as a guarantee against aggression.
 "On the other hand, General Leon- ard Wood has made the statement that the claim that any covenant will protect the world from future wars is idle twaddle and dream of molly coddles. $ The pacifists. more over, tell you lies when they say war as an institution is dead. Don't listen to the molly coddles. Be a citizen of common sense.
 Which guide are we to follow? Each has been q leader in the recent past when the issue was. as now, both national security and world idealsm- Woodrow Wilson declared we could not become involved in the war and that affairs of Europe were not our concern so he advocated non preparedness as the remedy.

 The pacifists solution did not then avail to keep us out of war. despite Mir. Wilson's consoling promises. and the internationalists' solution. which he now no less confidently offers to charm away, future wars, has an eqta. chance of sdccess.
 Theodore Roosevelt tells us: It is well at this time for sober ana resoiute men and women to apply that excellent variety of wisdom col loquially known as .shorse sense" TO the problems of nationalism and in- ternationa1ism.'
 Nations are made, defended and preserved. not by the iilusionists but by the men and women who practice the homely virtues in time of peace and who in time of righteous war are ready to die, or to send those they love best to die, for a shining ideal''

PUEBLO, Colo, Dec. 30.-No search of the residences in the foreign quarter of the steel works district has been ordered by Colonel Dennis McCunniff who is in charge of the two companies of Colorado national guard troops sta toned in Pueblo to obtain firearms, said to be in possession of the resi- dents.
 Promiscuous shooting of firearms was heard in the foreign quarter last night but the soldiers are of the opin- ion that it was caused by celebrators of Christmas and New Years and paid little attention to the shots. How ever, as a precautionary measure, Colonel McCunniff announced today diately he would be obliged to make a thorough search of the district and e nfiscate all firearms and ammunition found. It is reported that he will com pei all dealers in firearms to keep a record of the parties to whom said firearms are sold.
 With the arrival of additional troops early this morning, the troops will be able to put out stronger patrols both night and day.
 No disorders of any sort occurred in connection with the steel strike today More men than ever were at work in Minnequa steel mills today and a large crowd of men was turned away from the gates because of the fact that the company was as yet unable to put them on.
 murder plot in which seven prominent Pueblo business men were to be as- sassinated came to light today but the matter has been turned over to the federal secret service operators for investigation.

NEW YORK, Dec. Exchanged with violating his parole by forging checks committing thefts tnd getting drunk Donald Hammond, 24 years old, son of William Hammond, dean of Cornell university, was sentenced today to a term of 3l. to : years in state prison Hammond was placed on probation un- der suspended sentence last August after he had pleaded guilty to forging check for s2, 900 in the name of Nor man Bradford, jr., wealthy Newport, R. l., club man.
 Hammond's escapades since being on probation took him to Atlantic City. Maine and New Hampshire. Finally his friends virtually deported him to Canada in an effort to make him "go straight The life in Manitoba proved too tame for him. however, and he went to Boston, where he stole $15,000 worth of bonds, pleaded guilty in the name of an alleged murderer he met in the Tonbs prison. and succeeded in obtaining a suspended sentence under that name.
 Hammond has a long war record. He enlisted in the, Canadian army in 1914 and was wounded at Ypres. He came back to this country without being dis charged and later returned to England where he joined the Royal air force and was again wounded.
 His fraud victims are said to include a number of society people in New York, Newport, and Atlantic City.

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Complet- ing three months service in Washing ton as British ambassador to the United States, Viscount Edward Grey left tonight for New York from which port he will sail Saturday on the Aquitania for Liverpool On reaching London, NiscOunt Grey will report to his government on his work in the United States
 Arriving in New York last Septem- Der 26. Viscount Grey announced that because of the partial failure of his sight it would be impossible for him to undertake the duties of a perma- nent ambassador and his mission therefore would be comparatively short" A few days later he presented at the state department, President Wilson's health being such. at the time, that a call at the White House was deemed inadvisable. It has been thought possible that the ambassador might see the president before his de- parture. but in view of Viscount Grey's continued insistence that no special steps be taken to arrange such visit no appointment was arranged.
 While no official announcement has been made here or in London, 1t is ex- pected that after Vfscount Grey has re- ported on the work yet to be done by the British representative here a sue cessor will be promptly named. Pend ing the arrival here of an accredited ambassador, Ronald C. Lindsey, coun- selor, will be in charge of the embassy.
