OF the federal government in establish
ing supervision over the nations in
dustries, utilities, morals and general
welfare
In both houses of congress there
are vigorous groups opposed to what
is referred to as paternalistic legisla-
ton, but they are in the minority as
has been the case in nearly every
congress for the past decade. There
was a time when the purposes of the
central government were confined to
the preservation of order, the enforce
ment of the laws and the protection
Of the people. But in late years the
federal government has gone far
afield from those principles. 1t would

bill OF COMPLAINT
FILED TODAY TO STOP
CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT

JERSEY CITY, N. J., June %
Rev. Harry B. Wyatt, representing the
Clergymen's Community club of Jer-
sey City today laid before Prosecutor
Pierce Garvan a bill of complaint to
stop the Dempsey-Carpentier bout Sat
urday.
A letter accompanying the bill
charged the principals and promoters
with 'conspiring to pervert the boxing
or sparring law and also to violate
the crimes act prohibiting prize
fights"
H. c. ellison, of counsel for the
clergymen, said affidavits had been
submitted and witnesses were pre-
pared to appear before the grand jury
or to testify in whatever action the
prosecutor may take.
Three Jersey courts declined yester-
day to stop the contest, which Rick
ard calls boxing bout and the re-
formers term a prize fight.
One vice-chancellor told the reform
er he could not enjoin a crime from
taking place and limited that what the
reformers wanted was an Indictment
So counsel for the bureau announced
that they would appear this morning
before Prosecutor Garvan and ask him
to tell the grand jury that Rickard,
Dempsey Carpenter and others were
planning criminally to fracture the
state boxing law and that they should
be indicted as conspirators.
The grand jury, however, is not to
meet before Friday. Meanwhile other
bureau representatives were expected
to appeal to the supreme court in
Trenton to stop the combat by an in
junction or any other legal paper tina t
would serve the purpose.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY
SLOWED UP BY BOXES
NOT UP TO STANDARD

Thirty per cent of the mail boxes on
the rural routes of the Richmond post
office are not up to standard. according
to Postmaster Charles Beck
That's one reason why deliveries
on the rural routes cannot be made as
fast as they should be-" said the post
master. Patrons calls US over the
telephone to find out why the carrier
is 20 minutes late. Defective boxes
consume his time, retard his speed,
and affect every patron on the route -
About $500 boxes receive mail On
the Richmond rural routes. Of these
500 are not up to standard in one par
ticular or another. Some are not of a
pattern approved by the post Office
department.
Others are nailed to fence posts and
the postal regulations. A large number
are insecurely nailed to the posts. In
front of many are deep chuck holes
IN dry weather and mud holes in wet
weather.
All these conditions slow up the
delivery of mail, say the post office
authorities.
Must Follow Rules.
Unless the defects are remedied at
cnce.. federal authorities are expected
to step in and suggest non-delivery
until changes are made When some
roads used by rural carriers became
impossible few years ago, the de-
partment ordered suspension of deliv-
cries until repairs were made. Similar
action may follow if mail boxes are not
made to conform to the regulations.
Let carrier get stalled in a mud
hole in front of box and consume Is
minutes to extricate his car. Every
patron on the route receives - mail
that much later as a result of the
neglect of the one patron to provide a
good approach to his box" said the
postmaster.
Boxes that are not of the regulation
type, or are on wobbly poles, or fast
ened to fence posts, take up the time
of the carrier and delay a prompt
transmission of letters and packages -
