led TO the discovery Of the thirteen.
year race. similar Investigations were
in progress by Or. Gideon h Smith

Baltimore. Md DR., Smith left an
extremely valuable manuscript. which
was never published. in which he stat.

that Smith had been in CORE pond.

SPORT NOTES !
AFTER BIG FIGHT
POcatellO, Idaho, Posts $4,000
Offer OF 100000 Made.
Town of $4,000 Out To Get Bat.
tie Away From East.

Pocatello, Idaho, March 20.-With
characteristic western enterprise,
PocateIlo has started in to outbfd New
York for the WilIard-Dempsey cham
pionship fight.
The last census rated Pocatello at
$4,000 population But Pocatello has
opened the bidding at 100000 and
has posted $4,000 of this sum with
Charles Sumner of the Pocatello Trib-
une. If the New York territory insists
on trying to compete with Pocatello
for the fight, this city may raise the
ante to a quarter million, ]. Robb
Brady told the United Press today.
In fact, Pocatello - and Brady
speaks for this city, insists that the
fight be held here, where twenty
rounds are possible and has gone so
far as tell Tex Richard as much over
long distance telephone. Brady, who
is a son of former United States Sen
ator Brady, is rated as a near million
aire, backed by o. P. CARRIER, another
public spirited citizen, is now engaged
in obtaining waivers for the fight from
adjoining states. Utah has enthusiast
tically leaped into the Pocatello band
wagon. Brady is now after Montana
and Oregon. He is after California,
too, but realizes Reno is a strong bid
der for California support.
IF Richard wants the money as he
says, he can't refuse our guarantee, :"
said Brady. There are no strings to
it. We don't have anything to say
about the motion picture rights. We
are banking on the fact that the
American sporting public will insist
that Willard and Dempsey go the long
route. A ten-round fight would be a
joke.
"Pocatello offers the best railroad
facilities. Lines from the north. south,
east and west tap big centers of popu-
lation, including Salt Lake, Portland,
San Francisco and Butte. We are go
ing to have this fight here July A.
Brady has wired Richard as follows:
you can get a larger crowd and more
money here than any place in the
world where you can stage a real
fight"

CURTIS HAS A PLAN
He Would Have Congress Meet Al
ways on March 4-BiH Soon.

Washington. March Ex-senator
Charles Curtis. Republican whip in
the sens tie, has a plan under which
the present chaotic conditions will be
made impossible in the future. The
breach between the executive and leg
islative branches of the government,
for which each is seeking to place the
blame on the other. is working disas-
ter to many governmental activities.
and as yet there has been no decision
as to when congress will be called to-
gether in extra session to provide rem
edy.
Senator Curtis has announced that
he will introduce a bill when the Goth
congress meets providing that in the
future a newly elected congress shall
hold its first session on March 4, in
stead of waiting until the first Monday
in December, unless an extra session
is called. as it must under existing law.
Senator Curtis desires to bring about
a permanent reform designed to meet
any situation which may arise similar
to that which existed here March 4,
when the president was determined
not to call congress together in extra
session, altho the Republicans insisted
that he should do SO, and altho recon-
struction legislation of the utmost i'm
portance was pending.

FAVOR BOXING IN NEW YORK.
Bill in Legislature to LegaIize Bouts
in That State

Albany, N. Y, March 20.-At the
request of the army and navy and
civilian board of boxing control, Sem
ator James J. Walker of New York,
introduced in the legislature a bill de-
signed to provide for the legalizing of
boxing bouts. This is the third box
ing bill that has been presented to the
1919 session.
Under the provisions of the measure
there would be a state athletic COM
missioner and two deputies to super
wise boxing. Twelve round contests
would be permitted, with decisions
given to a referee and two judges.
Five ounce gloves would be used, each
contestant would be subjected to an
examination by a physician before en-
tering the ring, the contestants would
be more than IT years of age and no
boy under 16 years would be admitted
as a spectator

HUN HAS NO COTTON
Shortage in That Country at Present
Is $500, 900 Bales.

Washington. March 2O.-Germany's
cotton shortage is estimated to be
4,50O,00O bales of 500 pounds each,
in official dispatches based on the
opinion of European experts, and
made public today. When Germany
began hostilities in 1914 the country
had on hand only about 100000 bales
of raw and manufactured cotton, a
supply sufficient for three or four
months. The pre-war consumption
had been two million bales annually.
much of which was exported, but the
cessation of exports was fully offset
by military needs. so that the country's
requirements were not lessened.
The stocks on hand were supple
mented to the extent of 1905 600
bales by seizures in invaded districts
Many eXpedients We're described as
having been used by the neutral pow
ers to obtain the staple thru neutral
countries and in the first three years
reasonably large quantities of cotton
goods were imported in that way.
German sources estimate that 600, 900
bales were purchased from the United
States, Scandinavia and Holland, and
10000 bales from Switzerland, before
the blockade was made entirely eff
fective up to the end of 1917 The
amount obtained in 1918 was not
