SKETCH OF THIS
MAN RICHARD
BOXING PROMOTER

New YORK, June " Boxing
greatest Snowman" That is the title
which George Lewis ("TeX") Rick
ard, promoter of the coming Demp-
sey- Carpenter bout. has earned in
the staging of several bouts drawing
the largest gate receipts in the his
tory of the sport.
Thrown in contact with the boxing
game by accident, Richard. an ac-
count of whose career reads like fic-
ton, accomplished nearly everything
kept going along successfully. de-
spite conditions that sometimes made
the word quit" seems attractive.
Richard was born in Kansas City.
No, Jan. 2, 1871. His father, mill
wright, moved to the Panhandle of
Texas when the embryo promoter was
a small boy. At the age of II years,
thrown on his own resources, with a
widowed mother two brothers and
three sistrs to support, TEX" turned
to the calling of cow-punching uni
versal in Texas.
Then started the travels which
have made this man a Citizen of the
world" He met success in the cat
tie business but in 1894 hit the trail''
for the Klondike. Months of hard
ship brought fair returns but after a
year or two in Dawson, Richard
again moved. This time, he drew
UP in Goldfield. New, at the time when
the mining craze 1engulfed that Sec
ton.
But Goldfield was not satisfied with
the local activity which the minors
brought to that place. The town
boosters" wanted national note and
Richard suggested a championship
boxing match.
The promoter OF big enterprises
with the aid Of virtually no capital
has been characteristic Of this pros
pecter who has tapped the gold mines
of Broadway az well as of the Klon-
dixie and Nevada. From his friends
he secured enough money to offer
Jimmy Britt and Terry McGovern a
$4,000 guarantee for a championship
bout in Goldf1eld. Coming from an
unknown. at that time, the offer was
hailed by the boxers and their man
ayers as a joke.
Richard kept right on, however,

Another Franco-American Alliance.

IT is evident that the work of establishing and
i maintaining friendly relations between the
United States and her allies is to be left entirely
to the practical minds of statesmen and diplomats
The artists and writers of the various countries are
going to take hand in the new game of interna-
tonalism.
One of the best examples of their efforts is the
School for American Musicians which is to be
opened for summer session in the Palace OF
Fontainebleau. The French and American musi-
cians who watched with interest the work done by
Walter Damrosch when he co-operated with French
teachers to establish school for bandmasters OF
the A. E. F., have decided that there are many
American musicians who would like a few months
Of study under the best French instructors. These
French musicians have already stated that they con-
slider such teaching artistic and fraternal duty.
The French government will sponsor the
school, placing the best teachers from the Paris
Conservatory in charge and making the fee, both
for tuition and housing, low as possible The
American music student will find that he can live in
the Palace of Fontanbleau in the midst of the
most artistic and historical traditions with as little
expense in a commonplace American boarding
house If this summer session is a success it is
planned to extend the work another year include
courses in other arts that will coax American
painters and sculptors we'll musicians to jour-
ney to Fontainbleau for summer session.
Remembering the decided pro-Gcrmanism OF
many American musicians who studied in Germany
before the war, France may some day find such a
school far useful than defensive treaty with
the United States

know the effect OF a ray OF light
passing over a hot stove. The air
in it's motion disturbs II, but 1t is
not a case of gravity. For years
l have held an idea that our so
called Ether of space" was no
more nor less than a solution OF
unreduced atomic matter. The dis
covery of the electron opens this
field to such possibility. The vast
chemical reactions which result in
the formation OF nebula, etc. only
show that this ether has an incon-
slant quality either OF composition
or force.
The sun undoubtedly is very hot.
Also its entire surface must be in
motion. The light We see is not
that of flame, IL is an electric blaze,
this blaze being due to the contin-
ual formation of atoms by the in
tense heat and their rapid reduction
to molecule condition by the electric
bolt. This vaporized and atomic
condition extends far beyond the ac-
tual body of the sun and is more
rapid in its rise than in its fall at
certain levels What would be the
effect on a ray OF light through sucn
disturbed field?
Theories are good subjects when
the field is clear. Mr.. Einstein in
his claims that a ray OF light is
affected by gravity has no defini-
tion for the Ether of space" In
his claim that space is a limited
affair he offers no definition for
solution" space occupation. Both
of these questions must be settled
before Mr.. Einstein's theories have
any consideration for merit.

Out Of the Pad dock.

A GREEING with him or not, no one can but
~ admire Senator Knute Nelson for his posi-
ton the Knox peace resolution. The doughty
Senator from Minnesota always a fighter, always
liable to break away from party solidarity, always
ruled by his conscience, refuses to support this
resolution to merely repeal the declaration of war
against Germany.
Mr.. Nelson regards it as ineffective, as encour-
agement to Germany and wholly selfish. "We in
sist, he says, upon full repsraton for ourselves,
but are wholly oblivious as to whether allies,
by whose side and aid we vanqushed the common
enemy, secure any reparaton at all. We also
by this resolution wholly obvious to the disarma-
ment of GERMANY most vital matter to the future
of the world So long get reparation for our
selves, as long get pound of flesh, we
have no concern for bleeding France"
There hosts of Americans who will fully
sympathize with this position 1t is useless to pre-
tend that the resolution is generally popular fully
indorsed within the rank and file Of the Republican
party. They acquesce in it, but hardly indorse it,
1t is rather yielding to. the inevitable, than a
source of PRIDE only with the understanding that
will be followed by approval of the treaty of Yer
sailles, would there be even this acquescence.
