HARRINGTON AND. ABEL HEADLINERS. AT LEGION SHOW
Monster Fight Card Billed for Redwood Park During
 emi-CentenniaI

Friday. October 2S, the boxing committee of the semi-centennial eel ebration board will put on It's mon ster fight programme at Redwood field, with some of the best scrap to appear as headliners.
 Yesterday Mort Simpson, one of the committeeman in charge of ar rangements for the fight entertain ment, announced that arrangements for the event are going forward rap idly, and that in another week every thing will be in readiness for the big boxing show.
 In the headline bout Dummy Bar rihgton of Birmingham will meet Jake Abel, southern welterweight champion, in 10-round bout. It will be Barrington's first crack at the champion, and the big slugger from Acipco can be counted upon to do his best in the bout.
 Abel Is perhaps the best boxer of the two men, but Barrington's sleep producing punch has hardly an equal among Dixie welterweight scrappers. If Dummy hangs his right onto Abel the bout should be over right then and there, but, Jake's ability to dodge just such sluggers as Dummy has madewshim southern champion.
 Other headliners among Dixie ring men will appear on the card, and the bill is sure to be an interesting one.
 When first announcement of the show came out, it was stated that Bob Martin might appear here. Ar engagements were under way where by Martin was to donate his serv- ices to the cause, but an untimely fracture to his right hand caused Martin to call the affair off.
 The American Legion is behind this boxing show, and the former service men are putting all their drive into the effort to make it tremendous success. Ex-doughboys and gobs will be used on the card as much as possible, as these scrappers are always willing to donate their serv- ices to any affair with which the Anerican legion is connected.

Letters Lost i'm Mail 20
Years Ago Are Returned
New York Lawyers Experience
Proves Pre-Burleson Age
Had Its Troubles

Albert Stetson, patent attorney and
electrical engineer, at 10 Broadway,
told story yesterday that provided
Postmaster Burlcson with precedent
for mail delay.
On December +, 1899, Mr.. Stetson
had Offices on the ninth floor of the
Bennett Building, at 90 Nassau Street.
He had done some work for Louis S.
Lewkowitch and mailed him bill.
LewkoUitch. lawyer, occupied an
Office on the fourth floor Of the same
building.
When no reply came from Lewko-
witch Mr.. Stetson again wrote him on
January 10, 1900. and, failing to re-
ccive an answer the second time, sent
still another letter on January %,
1900. The patent attorney was unable
to account for his clients failure to
answer the letters and upon making
inquiry was informed they never had
been received. The matter was adjust
ed and had been forgotten until yes
terday, when MIR. Stetson's letters were
returned.
49,. three were in good condition.
They had not been sent to the dead
letter Office and apparently we're re-
covered from an old bag or from some
OBSCURE corner in the postotfice where
they had fallen years ago.

From me Tr.buvcs European Bureau
ccpyrisht, 1871. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Jan. 6.-The report that
Csnadian authorities have been con-
ferring with President-elect Harding Is
confirmed here, but 1t ,s denied that
ANYTHING approaching an agreement
for Joint patrol of the Pacific has been
reached. or even considered The con-
ferrees have discussed the question of
. naval alliance only in the broadest
sense. as they have been more espe-
eisllv concerned with the problem Of
Jareuese immigration.
The conversations have been OF an
unofficial nature. and. as previously
bointed out by The Tribune. no posi-
live step is possible before MIR. Har
aims takes office and the imperial con-
ference is held here in May.
It is anticipated that the Australian
md Canadian Premiers will come 70
london az advocates of naval holi-
dav By agreement with America, and it
is likely that they will meet little oppo-
xition at the imperial conference, pro
sided Great Britain and the United
States can come to some arrangement.
There IS feeling here now that It
vas a mistake to launch the campaign
for a naval holiday at this time. 1t
would have been infinitely more ettec-
tive If It had come late in the spring
artcr The new Administration had had
an opportunity to give hint OF us
foreicn policy. A reaction has already
set II. and many of those who con-
CNnned the armament competition as
44iuous to England and the world are
now begging for chance to hedge ana
modify their statements.
Tho whole tendency is away from
nilitarism. whether the situation is
viewed from Great Britain. France
Germany. Italy or Russia. but such q
sien as n five-year naval holiday is con-
sidered too vital 20 DC taken without
much consideration.
In any case, Japan apparently does
ret intend to put the brakes on ne,
shiDouilding yards. This year she will
complete the coHstruction of two giant
hatt.eships which will be the equal OF
.NriSaiu's great battle cruiser Hood.
Janaa's naval policy is not unlike
Gle4- Bri,ain's attitude toward the
J.eseOr Of Nations. II The United

almost certain that the President will
veto the measure. And passage by the
Senate is not assured, despite the lib
eral Democratic support. and the fact
that the Republicans are now practi-
caily unanimous for it.
A filibuster from certain Democratic
Senator'S, notably Hitchcock, of Ne
brasks, and Harrison, of Mississippi,
is assured, and it will not require much
talking to defeat any bill this session.
The bill probably can be forced
through by long sessions and by keep
ing 1T continuously before the Senate
thus sacrificing the appropriation bills
Il would be necessary then to have the
extra session Of Congress make these

elect Harding has urged that, if posi-

Bill to Increase
House Membership
BY 4S Approved
Constitutional Amendment
to Limit Lower Branch of
Congress to 500 Members
in Future Also Proposed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The mem
bership of the House of Representa-
tives would be increased to 4S3 under
a bill which will be reported to-
morrow by Chairman Siegel, of the
Census Committee, to fix the reappor-
tionment for the next ten years under
the 1920 census. The bill would mean
an increase of 4S over the present
membership Of 435. No state would
lose any representation.
At the same time Representative
Siegel will introduce constitutional
amendment to limit the size Of future
Houses to 500 members.
Adoption of the reapportionment
measure would result in an increase
in the total vote of the electoral col
lege to 57s, making 290 necessary
for the election OF President and
Vice-President. The present vote is
531, making 266 necessary for choice
California would make the largest
gain of new members, five under the
bill, bringing her total to sixteen.
Michigan, New York. Ohio and Penn
sylvania would gain four each: Illinois
and Texas three; Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and North Carolina two each,
while Alabama, Arkansas. Connecticut,
Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New
Mexico. Oklahoma, Oregon, South Car
olna, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington,
West Virginia and Wisconsin would
gain one each
The basis of representation is fixed
under the committees bill at one mem
Der for each 218.979 inhabitants, as
compared to 211 1878, as at present.
Members of the committee were said
to have been virtually unanimoua in
