Mr.. Cookers Choice.

A good many persons have thought
well Of DEMPsEY's chances to beat
JESS WILLARD when they meet on
July 4, but RICHARD CROKER has given
the challenger heavy blow. Mr..
CRoKER is not wizard at picking
winners in the ring. Some scientific
speculNtors will copper his bet, asking
no further "details Of the fight except
Mr.. CRcKER's selection.
The champion-he has singularly
failed to stir public imagination, prin-
cipally because he is forehanded
business man-owns to 80, but scan
dial wags its tongue and says he Is
past 40. DEMPSEY Is short Of % !;
youth will be served WILLARD de-
tests training, not for the reason
yours always on the level" JOHN L.
detested It, because 1t cut into the
grape" but because training means
hard, unrelenting physical work. The
man who restored the championship
to the white race takes on flesh easily,
and he may not be able to get the full
advantage Of his superior height,
reach and weight.
Yet to be picked by Mr.. CROKER is a
serious handicap. Perhaps DEMPSEY
won't be able to make the most of all
the factors in his favor.

A Card From George J. Smith.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: My
remark concerning Emma Goldman,
made at the Whitman dinner May 81,
seems not to have been reported with
entire accuracy by the press, and in
order to correct the resulting misun-
Outstanding l ask YOU to insert this
statement.
As chairman or toastmaster il was
my part t9 introduce the various speak
ers or contributors In courteous or ap-
propriate words.
In pretacing Emma Goldman's mes
sage to the meeting I intended to con-
vey, and I believe did convey to those
present, the notion that she is believed
by those who know her TO have certain
personal and intellectual qualities
worthy of admiration.
I did not express then nor have I at
any time or place expressed the slight
eat appreciation Of her reputed political
or social doctrines or views, for the sim
pie reason that | have never had any
sympathy with them. so far as have
known what they are.

URGES PACKERS BE
LIMITED TO MEATS
GOLFER Sees Food MONOPOLY
in u. S. Otherwise.

CINCINNATI, June 5.-William B. Col
yer. chairman OF the Federal Trade Com
mission, speaking before the National
Wholesale Grocers Association conven-
ton here to-day advocated that the
great meat packers OF the country be
limited to the field of meat packing and
to the manufacture Of packing house by
products.
The commission has found that a
meat trust exists said Mr. Colver But
II has found more than that. II finds
that these great concerns are rapidly ex-
tending their dominion and control over
the whole food supply OF the nation, and
I believe 1t is only matter Of time, un-
less present tendencies are stopped
when these Ave concerns. or perhaps the
one or two OF them which may openly
or secretly absorb the others. will alb
solutely dictate TO the people of this
country what they shan eat and what
they shall pay for what they eat.
This development would mean the
elimination Of those great American bus
mess institutions which have been built
up to manufacture and prepare the
food, other than meat foods, for the ma
ton.
I'VE believe that legislation would be
wise, patriotic and sound II It limited
these great institutions to the field of
meat packing ana 10 the manufacture of
packing house by-produCts."

this would enable the navy to keep

CITIZENSHIP.
What the Constitution Provides as 10
Persons Born In the United States.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir. In
your editorial article on citizenship
printed on Sunday you should have
quoted the first sentence OF the Four
teenth Amendment TO that once so
honored document, the Constitution of
the United States. 1t is there said :
"All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the
Jurisdiction thereof are citizens OF the
United States and OF the States wherein
they reside
Many years since the Supreme Court
held that children of Chinese parents
thus born are citizens. Under the draft
law this question arose constantly and
the legal advisory boards were re-
peatedly called upon TO decide questions
OF nationality. But this particular point
was too clear for discussion.
To rid himself of his American c,tl-
zenship a person upon reaching majority
must act promptly and openly--in fact
he practically must leave the country
and take up citizenship of some other
country. He cannot renounce his Ameri-
can citizenship here A LAWYER.

NEXT SUMMERS WEATHER.
Long Range Forecasting System
Gives Everybody q Guess.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: Now
that you have published Mr.. Dunn's
forecast Of a cool summer. suppose you
give your readers the statistics accord
ing to the new long range system and
let them figure It out for themselves.
Anyway. they can get a ratio of ac-
curacy. of 8 to !. or equal to Uncle
Sans short rangers.
An analysis Of the May temperatures
for 1913 years at New Haven and those
OF the following summers compared to
show the forecasting value OF May tenn
peratures gives the following results:
Average May temperature, $40 de-
Erees; average summer temperature,
6s,7 degrees.
There were ten cold Mays with tenn
psratures ranging from 81 degrees to
sac degrees. All but one was fol-
lowed by cold or sub-normal summers
There were thirty-nine cool Mays
with temperatures ranging from 81 de-
Erees TO 500 degrees. Twenty three
were followed by below normal and
thirteen by above normal summers
three being normal.
There were sixty-s!x Mays with tenn
peratures ranging from 81 degrees TO
500 degrees Thir;y-one were followed
by above normal and twenty by
below normal summers. six being
normal.
There were twenty-one hot Mays
with temperatures ranging from 60
degrees to 62.e degrees. Fourteen were
followed by above normal and six by
below normal summers, one being
normal.
The two hottest Mays, average tenn
perature 81 degrees, were followed by
above normal summers. These statistics
show that May sets the temperature
for the summer. with marked influence
Of extreme departures. especially cold,
but general tendency TO warmth.

Is difficult to say. Few Of the State

all Of them will meet next winter,

In thirteen other States they have the
right to vote for Presidential cleo

How to Put Down the Reds.

The alleged plan Of revolutionists
to enroll a force Of 100000 persons
in this country to seize the transpor-
tation lines, ieolate number Of
great cities and install a new form
Of government before the authorities
have time to act may be dismissed
as a dream Of madmen. 1t took the
United States Government, with I'M
limited resources and the practically
unanimous backing Of the whole popu-
lation, nineteen months to raise an
army not much more numerous than
the number given as the goal Of the
malcontents. To enlist such a num-
Der. or a small proportion Of such a
number, in secrecy Is n manifest i'm
possibility. If the disturbers of the
peace who talk about doing it will
consult General CRowDER, who man.
aged the draft. they will find out
something about the difficulties their
scheme involves.
Consequently we may dismiss this
project as big talk, but we cannot af-
ford to dismiss the murderous dIspo-
sition that finds its expression in
bombs sent through the mails or
planted on doorsteps or thrown
through windows as big talk. The
number of individuals In the country
sufficiently depraved to commit such
crimes is relatively small, but that
does not always preserve those they
select as victims from harm.
The problem is how to suppress this
infinitesimal minority and prevent it
from carrying out Its violent designs.
Fortunately in undertaking this job
we have recent experience of a most
satisfactory kind to guide us. We
know, for example. that we do not
need new laws to punish murderers
or would-be murderers; we do need
more stringent and intelligent en-
forcement of statutes now on the
books. 1t may be desirable to en-
ploy more policemen and detectives;
short Of the number of policemen they
should have. But what we need more
than anything else Is patient, persist
ent labor against fomenters of dis
order by the peace officers, instead of
the spasmodic efforts against them TO
which we have been accustomed.
The encouraging and historic prece-
dent Of which We have spoken is the
record achieved by an alert and ener-
getic police official, Inspector THOMAS
]. TUNNEY, in the suppression Of the
so-called Black Hand bomb outrages
among the Italians In this country.

disadvantage because the persons who

pursuit of the criminals. The au-
thorities could not get clues to work

Every bomb explosion led them up
dark alley.
In spite Of these handicaps the po-
licemen under Inspector TUNNEY, by
interchangeable and unceasing work. by
courageous and tireless efforts, learned
the identity and the methods OF the
numerous criminals who hid their
crimes under the Black Hand, foiled
many of their plots, put many OF
