VETS |NAUGURATE SIEGE WARE ARE ON
 ENFORCEMENT AZ,
Repulsed In Firs x x Antis Warn Hous They
 Will Raise Issue at Every Opportunity
By A,.aoIa,.d prs,,

Washington, March 4.-Siege war fare against the prohibition enforce nient act was inaugurated today by wet" members of the House.
 Though repulsed 254 to ss in the ini- tlai attack, made in the form of d straightforward repeal provision Of fered by Representative Pagan. demo- srat, New Jersey. as a rider to the leg isiatiye, executive and judicial appro- prlation bill. the anti-prohibitionists told the House they planned to raise the issue again during consideration of every bill that comes up appropri- ating funds for enforcement of the prohibition amendment
 While the ''wets" of the House were making their fight, Attorney General Thomas r. McCran of New Jersey filed suit in behalf of his state in the su- preme court to declare the amendment unconstitutional and to prevent federa, officials from enforcing it. The court, on the. motion of Assistant Attorney General Frierson, fixed Monday for hearing arguments in the original suit filed by Rhode Island and on the lap : pcals from Kentucky and Massachu- setts decisions involving validity of the amendment. Attorney General Mccran contended the amendment was not prop erIy drawn and that Congress possessed no power to propose a constitutional amendment regulating the habits and morals of the people. The enforcement act, passed under authority of the amendment, his bill set forth, was therefore null and void.
 The move of the House anti-prohibi- tionists came unexpectedly during con- ssidefa4tans of as appropriation or sf,5oo,ooo for prohibition enforcement ~ fter Spea knr (sil1aft bad rnf,tsod tos sustain the point of order against the repeal Nprovision, raised by Represent ative Garrett, democrats Tennessee, the rider and it's allied motion to eliminate the enforcement appropriation were voted down overwhelmingly

 iiticaI row b-okc out in the House

 prices charged for Louisiana sugar.
 The democrats bitterly opposed thu project, charging repeatedly it was de signed as an indirect impeachment O. Mir. Palmer and only intended as z means Of checking the growing pop nlarity' Of a democratic presidentia aspirant.
 In reply the republicans charged
 that the President and MT. Palmer
 were directly responsible for pre-
 vaiiinE high sugar prices; that Mir. t. Palmer had no authority to recog-
 sixe the high figure at which
 Louisiana sugar sold. and that he
 had failed to press actions against
 profiteering.
 In two hours Of debate on the resolu- tion. offered by Representative link ham, republican, Massachusetts, demo. cratic members asserted it was "co- vert. attack on Mir. Palmer. and was calculated to divert public attention from failures Of the incapable" re- publican leadership in Congress. When the time limit expired. the resolution was put through, t62 to 124, by party Vote, and the committee will proceed with the inquiry.

TWO GOOD
BOXING BOUTS
frankie Burns Went Ten
Rounds With No De-
cision
THE MEN WE'RE A
. WE'LL MATCHED PAIR
Glinnie Fails to Appear
Martin and Leonard Go
1O-Round Bout

The $50 or more sports who wit
messed the boxing bouts at Intercity
park last evening from $50 until near
ly IL O'Clock saw some very clever
fighting and lot of it. 1t was exeep-
tionally good, because every man that
stepped into the ring with pair of
gloves had seen gloves before and knew
how to use them; in other words, there
were no amateurs tested out for their
qualities.
The feature bout of the evening was
a l2.round go between two light
weights, frankie Burns of California
and Harry Stone of Providence. X. l.
Everyone seemed to pick Burns as TIE
winner during the first few rounds, for
his apparent fine condition and welt
balanced physique, which enabled him
to glide around the ring, gave, in the
eyes of the spectators, decided adyan-
tage over Stone. Stone was shorter
ithan Burns by two or three inches,
with short arms but sturdy, and his
body looked weighted with superfluous
flesh SO that one would judge he was
in no condition for fight at the out
set. They were both clever men, Stone
a trife cleverer than his younger OPP
ponent, Burns, as he favored neither
hand in administering straight from
the-shoulder blows, hooks or labs.
Burns discovered early in the fight that
his right arm could reach Stones left
kidney in a clinch, and whenever they
came together so closely Mr.. Stones
left side was bombarded. Stones two
armed mitigating and lightning quick
ness overbalanced his disadvantage
with short arms, though he was not
as strong at the end of the fight as
Burns, who smiled many times during
the fray.
Cyclone Glinnie of Montpelier dis
appeared from the arena as speedily
but much more unceremoniously, a
short time before the starting time,
Just after his Barre opponent, Guido
Valisi, the fighting Italian, stepped OIL
the electric.
This was the second time Glinnie
failed to appear before Valisi in a pre-
liminary bout. Hoping he would make
an appearance before the evening had
passed, the management started the
l0-round sefni-fn or bantam-weight
bout, between Harry Martin of Provi-
dence, r. l., and Joe Leonard of De-
troit, Mich.
These two little men were evenly
matched in weight, height and science
and gave l0-round exhibition that
was pretty to watch. If decision was
handed out on this one, it would un-
doubtedly be a draw, as would that
between the lightweights.
The audience would have been we'll
