BIG SPORTING CLUB
HAS WEIGHTY PLANS
Work Resumed on New House,
Which Will Be Opened
Soon.
by CHARLES +. MATHIsoN.

Work on the house of the Internal
tional Sporting Club, at Forty-ninth
street and Lexington avenue, which was
interrupted as result of the scarcity Of
steel and other building materials. will
be resumed shortly and the LOO men,
bers of the noted organization will. ac-
cording to William A. Gavin, managing
director OF the club. take possession of
the structure next fall. The foundation
work Is we'll under way. and 1t Is Planned
to begin work on the superstructure In
a few weeks.
1t was the original intention of the
members to have the house completed
this fall. but the impossibility OF getting
material forced a change in the plans
Now that steel is available and other
materials have fallen as to price, the
work of construction will rapidly pro-
coed.
In the meantime, the club will obtain
a temporary building in whichs to hold
it's boxing and other entertainments. 1t
is highly probable that the Twenty
second Regiment Arnory. which Will
hold 10000 persons, will be the head
quarters of the club until such time as
the new house is completed.
It would be possible to stage important
boxing bouts at popular prices in an arena
so large as that of the Twenty-second
Armory, and Mr.. Gavin is now busy
planning spectacular contests for the
members. The first event Will probably
be staged about the middle of next
month, and the chief bout will bring to-
gether a pair of the most noted boxers
in America.
Mr. Gavin Is anxious to ascertain the
sentiment Of the American public as to
the Justice of drawing the color line,
and In order to get an expression OF
opinion on the subject will shortly in
augurate an inquiry in all parts OF the
country with view to learning the
attitude Of the public at large. II the
replies are favorable the International
Sporting Club will unquestionably stage
bouts between blacks and whites in all
classes.

Father of Clara Smith Says She
 Will Surrender
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

FL PASO, Tex, Dec 20.-J. L. Smith, father of Clara Smith Hamon, sought in connection with the death of Jake l.. Hamon, millionaire Okla homa oil man, tonight denied knowl- edge of his daughters whereabouts.
 Asked concerning the report his daughter was in Chihuahua, Mexico, Smith said she might be there, but in any event he expected her to surrender to the Oklahoma authorities within two weeks. His son, James Smith, who left Fl Paso a few days since, the father believed, was with his sister. He added that when he got into communi- cation with his daughter he would ad- wise her to surrender, but not to do so in Fl Paso, and said he had wired Buck Garrett, sheriff at Ardmore, Okla. to come here and he would tell him all he knew about the case.
 Smith said when the full truth about tho killing of Hamon was made public it would prove even more sensational than the stories already published, much of which, he said, were false. He professed the utmost confidence that his daughter would be cleared of all guilt in the matter.
 A message received by the Associ ated Press from Chihuahua late to- night said that the Smith woman had not been found there, but that the au- thorities were seeking her.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Restric- tions of exportation of coin. bullion and currency to soviet Russia, on deal ings or exchange transactions in Rus sian rubles mad on credit or exchange with soviet Russia were removed today by the treasury and federal reserve board, acting with the approval of the state department.
 The treasury and the federal re serve board in announcing the removal of the restrictions. said the action was taken to give force and effect to the decision of the state department as announced several months ago to remove barriers in the way of trad and communication with soviet Russia
 Removal of the final restrictions on trade with soviet Russia, treasury of ficials explained, in no way means government sanction of commercial relations with that country, but mere lv gives fun effect to the state depart ment's announcement of July ', that trade would be permitted at the traders risk.
 Mint and assay offices will continue to refuse accept soviet gold; treasury officials declared as the government may only acquire the lawful moneys of a recognized foreign government Little is expected to be accomplished in the way of opening up trade with Russia through the removal of the if nancial restrictions treasury officials added, because in the absence of of ficiaI relations between the two gov ernments, all business transacted would be at the risk of the contracting parties.

Harding and Best Minds" Confer On
 Domestic Problems

MARION, Ohio, Dec 20.-President- elect Harding's conferences on the poli- cies Of his administration ranged far and wide today among the nations for eign and domestic problems and gave him the benefit of advice from upwards of a dozen of the best minds" he has invited into consultation.
 Two of those with whom he had talked about domestic questions have been persistently mentioned for cabinet positions and their coming stimulated speculation about the possibility of their appointment to the next presi- dents official family They were Chas. G. Dawes, Chicago banker, and Henry Wallace of Des Moines Iowa, an editor of farmer publications. With the form CT, MT. Harding talked of financial con- ditions and of tax reforms and with the latter discussed farmer relief.
 Senator John K Shields of Tennessee, a democrat member of the foreign re- lations committee and an irreconcilable opponent of the Versailles treaty, con- ferred with the president-e elect about the plans for an association of nations and gave his approval of the general principles proposed by MT Harding for an international court The league question also was discussed by the president elect with Samuel McCuney | at Columbia who said he was confident l the foreign policies of the new admin l istration were being laid on a sound | foundation
 l The question of Mr. Harding's early
 resignation from the senate was the subject of a conference between him and Senator elect Frank B. Willis,
 whom Governor Cox had agreed to ap- point to the vacancy. It was said af-
 terward that no decision was reached,
 and the friends of the president elect took his delay to mean that he prob ably would not retire until the new republican governor of Ohio takes office early in January.
 Fl Among other callers during the day
 were Governor William C. Sproul o1 Fl Pennsylvania, W. w Atterbury, vice.
 president of the Pennsylvania railroad
 and Michael Gallagher of Cleveland, an
 official of the Hanna interests, all oi
 whom talked about financial and rail-
 way conditions. MT. Atterbury was 1T
 charge of the American railways 1T France during the war and has beer regarded as one of the worlds leadinG experts on transportation. He said h. l viewed American railway conditions l hopefully and felt that Mir. Harding had a competent understanding of tn problem.
 Representative c. B. Slemp, republi can national committeeman from Vir | ginia, also saw the president-el elect, bu | said he came merely to make a delayei
 report on the conduct of the campaigl in the south.
 | After his talk with Mir. Harding, Sen ator Shields said he did not gather tha a very concrete plan had been formu lated for a peace league but was con fident Mir. Harding had chosen wisel | in working toward a qualification of in | ternationaI law and a world cour : rather than toward any sort of militar
 alliance.

POIND[XTER ANTI MEASURE
 HELD IN SENATE
[RepubIlcan A. ?. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-anti- strike legislation which has gone a part of the way through congress got momen- tary consideration again today in the senate
 Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, whose bill designed to discourage strikes in interstate con- merce, was passed by the senate last week without a word of debate and in an almost empty chamber, but was held from going to the house by a motion by Senator La Toilette, Wis consin, to reconsider. gave notice that he would ask shortly for the removal of the parliamentary barrier. Senator Poindexter said that he intended to give the Wisconsin senator a full op- portunity to bring the reconsideration motion up for debate, but if that was not done he would ask the senate to table it and let the bill proceed.
 Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Ar kansas, protested in behalf of the motion to reconsider, although Sen ator La Toilette, who was in the chamber. did not join in the debate.
 This bill, passed the senate under a rule designed to facilitate legisla- tion to which there is no objection and no opposition" Senator Robinson said. q am not disposed to criticise sen ators who failed to object to it's con- sideration and remove the unanimous consent agreement under which the senate was operating, but it is a mea- sure upon which there is a sharp divi- sion of opinion and to which there is most substantial opposition. It does not make this bill any friends to try and close off debate upon it.

 "So far as am concerned, there is no desire to shut off debate and I an consequently in favor of letting the
 motion to reconsider come up for dis cussion
 Vice President Marshall ruled that the bill. although technically passed l by the senate, still could be brought up for debate. The senate adjourned | before further action could be taken

Frisco Gangster Found Guilty of
 Criminal Assault
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlre1

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 20.-Edmond (Spud) Murphy, pugilist and associate of criminal gang whose activities re- suited in the murder of three peace of ficers at Santa Rosa on December 3 and the lynching of the slayer and two accomplies five nights later, was found guilty here today of feloniously attack ing Jessie Montgomery, II years old, last Thanksgiving morning.
 The jury deliberated 20 minutes. Un- der the indeterminate sentence law Murphy faces a prison term of from one to fifty years. District Attorney Mathew Brady personally took charge of the prosecutions case.
 A dramatic incident during the ad dress to the jury by Assistant District Attorney StanisIaus Riley resulted in Murphy, wife of the defendant, from the courtroom. Attorney Riley had outlined the alleged crime and ended by pointing a finger at Murphy and ex- claiming:
 And Murphy must share the respon sibility for this crime" 1 Mrs. Murphy, rising from her seat beside her husband, cried:
 My husband is innocentr The court order excluding her fol- l lowed, but she refused to obey, saying, 'T am going to stick by my husband until the end"
 Court officers induced her to leave | the room.
 Murphy was the first of five men to be tried on indictments charging crim- inal offenses against young women in this city Four others, Edward Kru- vosky, Allen Mcdonnell, Thomas Brady and William Carey, are to go to trial in quick succession, District Attorney Mathew Brady has announced.
 The speed with which the trial was conducted in the court of Judge Louis r. Ward was due largely to a united public sentiment and demands by civic organizations that every means be ex- erted by the authorities to rid the city of its criminal elements. Demands also were made that the trials of the other accused men be held without delay. So strong was this sentiment against the defendants that, with the exception of Murphy, they were unable to obtain counsel until Judge Ward appointed at torneys to undertake their defense.
 Judge Ward set December 23 fol passing sentence. Murphy took tho verdict calmly.

PREPARATION MEETING
 ADJOURNS ID JAN. ID

BRUSSELS. Dec. 20.-The allied delegates to the second financial con ference to discuss German separations have decided to adjourn the present session next Thursday and reconvene the conference in Brussels probably on January 10. The delegates found at the inter-alli session today that the reports on the points raised by the Germans had only been half fln- ished and a definite reply to the Ger man requests for concessions prop ably will be given only at the January session after the reports of the dele gates have been approved by their governments and the allies views harmonized.
 The delegates continue to predict that real results will be obtained al- though they are now going at a slower rate in this direction than had been expected. The question of the cash balances to be paid by Germany on the liquidation of her account has made it necessary to summon other experts. The reports of the French experts on the upper Siles ion question also have been delawed and the con- ference therefore decided today to take time to go into all questions thoroughly so that they may be set tied once for all.

Farmer Relief Measure Goes
 To President
TRenubIfcan A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Legis- latiVe enactment of the joint reso- lution directing revival of the war finance corporation as measure of relief for farmers against faL- ing prices was completed today when the senate, without record vote. concurred in house amend- ments eliminating the section sug- gesting that the federal reserve board extend liberal credits to farmers.
 The resolution now goes to the president.
 Some senators and representa- tives believed the president still would veto the measure, while others were inclined to the belief that with the elimination of advice to the federal reserve board, ap- proval would be given the measure.
 Leaders who were responsible for the final enactment of the resolu- ton, however, expressed confidence of their ability to override veto, both in the senate and house. They were assured, they said, of votes from Southern members in such a contingency.
