WASHINGTON, March, 11.-Sen-
ator Reed of Missouri has introduced
an innovation to senate orators. Mar
athon speakers have heretofore con-
sumed large quantities of ice water.
They've gone without lunch and ended
their speeches all tagged out.
Reed, starting on an attack on the
league of nations, several hours in
length, gave standing order to a
page to be kept supplied with black
coffee. Some of the "old ladies" of
the senate didn't like for Jim to turn
the old senate chamber into a coffee
parlor by having it served to him at
his desk, but Reed, who glories in
the shattering of precedent, didn't
give whoop, and told them so.

In his testimony before the COM
mittee, today, Sims made the dis.
closure that in June, 1917, he urged
Secretary Daniels to strip complete
ly the American Atlantic Coast of
seagOing protection; and he urged
transfer to British waters of the
ships then on this side of the At
lantic. Secretary Daniels the tes-
timOny of the admiral showed. re-
fused to entertain the suggestion.
Replying to Sims demand, Dam
iels cabled him that "the future
position of the United States must
in no way be jeOpardized by distinte
grafton of our main fighting fleet
which was set forth in a cablegram
from the secretary to the admiral,

SHORTAGE IF FUNDS
 LEADS ID CUTTING
 IF HIGHWAY FORCES

Shortage of funds has necessitated the cutting down of forces in the state highway department, Thomns Maddock, state engineer, announced yesterday. MT. Maddock said that eight draftsmen had been released, due to the lack of funds to carry on," and that the policy of the mainheadquart- CTS office was being adopted wherever state work was in progress through out Arizona.
 Tn line with this economical plan two camps on the Superior Miami road have been consolidated with a. view of reducing the overhead ex- pense The camp at the head of Queen creek and the camp a mile north of Superior have joined forces. while the work has been somewhat curtailed due to the shortage of funds. F. G Twitchell, the engineer in charge of the construction of the highway, was in Phoenix yesterday for conference with Mir. Maddock.
 That splendid progress is being made on the tunnel work of the road was the statement made by MT. Maddock who said that the present idea was to carry the heading through on grade and to use this as a small pilot tunnel ! in order that construction forces might make use of the tunnel in carrying on their work. At the present time to reach their work above the tunnel the road builders have to crawl on lad ders and up the hillside at a height of 150 feet over a cliff.
 The forces have placed concrete on the main arch of the bridge across Queen creek between Superior and the old prison camp. The launches of the arch were poured yesterday and the central portion of the arch will be poured today with the remaining sec tions to be completed within the next | five or six days. The completion o1 | the main arches. MT Maddock said would obviate the possibility of any | damage from flood loss.
 | The contractors on the road from | Barnardino to the New Mexico line
 which is a part of the Douglas-R -RodeC l highway, are at work on the grades
 according to the state engineer
 The highway department, he stated | had received the approval of the sec retary of agriculture of the plans ana specifications of the Phoenix Clendah road and the Ray Superior road ha' also been approved. The district en gineer has passed favorablv upon tn,

O'Neill ResentS Imputation That
 He Went to Sleep

Ira O'Neill, well known negro boxer of Phoenix, resents the imputation that he suffered a Knockout at the hands of Happy Woods at Stafford on the night of November 20.
 I'm a better man that Woods and can beat him easily" Ira declared last evening. T lost the fight at Saf- ford, not because he is a better man. but because l broke my right hand in the second round.
 My seconds positively did not throw up the sponge. The fight was stopped at the end of the sixth round by the promoters when they saw that I was unable to do more than protect myself fought Woods from the second to the sixth rounds with only my left hand, and still he was unable to beat me"
 Ira exhibited his right hand in splints as proof fthe injury The knuckle of the right thumb had been shattered when he caught Woods on the elbow in the second round, yet he fought gamely on, using only his left hand to punch with.

~cAvE MAN sTUFF' IN NEW YORK

New York-In a smart hotel lobby she stood as correctly tailored as FiftI avenue can do it and from a silver leash a Pomerantan ranged about her on guard. It was a prototype of those naughty pictures one sees in Vanity Fair Now and then she looked at a diamond encrusted wrist watch and tapped an impatient toe against the marble floor. I think a number of others stood about waiting to see what she would say to him when he arrived. He came. A powerful hulk of man, with small, beady eyes, wide hat and loose fitting clothes.
 You are later" she said impatiently.

OTTAWA SPORTSMEN OFFER BIG SUM FUR
 CHAMPIONSHIP TILT
LRepubIlean A. p. Leased wIrol


 NEW YORK. Dec. 2-An offer of a site for the holding of the Dempsey -Carpentier heavyweight championship fight fin Canada was received today by Promoter Tex Rickard.
 The proposition. from a syndicate of wealthy Ottawa sportsmen, suggested holding the contest at Hull. just across the river from Ottawa. during June. It was stated that s25O.0O0 was avail able as a guaranty and Rickard was re- quested to discuss the matter with a representative of the Canadian syndi- cate.
 Rickard said that he would arrange for a conference in the near future, but that no definite plans had been made for staging the battle at any par ticular place Under the contract the bout can bc held anywhere in the United States. Canada, Mexico or in Cub providing the principals are given suf'hRent notice of the site to arrange Tor 0oper training quarters.
 It was again intimated today by the chief promoter that in case it was found inadvisable to hold the contest fin or near New York City, the match would fin all probability be staged in London, where Carpentier Is a great drawing card
 When 1t was pointed out to Rickard that the existing contract did not cover a ring encounter fin Europe. he stated that both Manager Kearns and Cham pion Dempsey had agreed to sign a new contract including such a change Should the emergency arise. 1t is quite likely that instead of Dempsey receiv- ing $300,000 and Carpenter $200000 the boxers will agree to battle for a percentage of the gate receipts, which are estimated as likely to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars with the fight staged in London.
