BRANDEIS GROUP ANNOUNCES
DETAILS OF ORGANIZA-
TON.

IlON.
New York q. G. B.)-Mr. Jacob
De Haas, secretary of the Palestine
Development Council, made the fol-
lowing statement last week on the
scheme of organization adopted by
the minority Zionists who organized
for independent economic activities in
Palestine:
1. The Palestine Development Coun-
Gil has been organized as non-profit
membership corporation under the
laws of the State of New York. The
membership is to be composed of the
original incorporators and members
at large to be named by them, in all
not in excess of 81, and one repre-
sentative from each of the Palestine
Development Leagues which fulflls
the minimum requirement. There will
be no difference in the powers of the
original members, the members at
large, or the representatives of the
Leagues. The Council will elect a
Board of nine Trustees from among
it's members.
Both the 81 members and the nine
Trustees will serve at first in three
groups, -one-third for two, three and
four years respectively, and at the
annual meetings, all the members will
elect their successors for period of
three years.
The business of the Trustees will
be to determine priorities in the ini-
tiation Of Palestinian work, to cause
the creation of corporations to carry
on such work for Palestinian develop
ment, as holders of the common stock
of such corporation to elect the ma
jority of the directors of such cor
porations and in a general way to
supervise their work, to hold in trust
and administer all special trusts,
whether in money or in the shares of
such corporations, given for Palestin-
ian purposes, and to apply any profits
that may accrue to the common stock
for the benefit of the Jewish people
in Palestine.
2. There has been further establish
ed a committee to be known as the
Central Committee of Palestine De-
velopment Leagues" which will hold
office until the first annual meeting
of the Representatives of the Leagues.
The Central Committee will undertake
the raising of funds and securing of
stock subscriptions for the corpora
tions created by the P. D. c., and in
general institute and assist in the
establishment of local Palestine De-
velopment Leagues.
3. The Central Committee Of P. D.
L. will in all respects be administered
separately from the P. D. C. but will
report to it from month to month.
4. Each Palestine Development
League that has membership of
not less than 25 persons, who shall
during the preceding year have sub
scribed for not less than $4,000 Of the
stock of any Of the corporations es-
tablished by the P. D. c., or con-
tributed such sum to it, shall be en-
titled to elect one member of the P.
D. c..
5. The purpose of the Palestine De-
velopment Council will be to under
take specific social economic enter
prises which will facilitate the early
settlement in Palestine of prepon-
derating body of self-supporting
Jews. The sole purpose of the Coun-
Gil will be social economic, not po-
litical It's aim will be to assist in

From New York
NO ANSWER TO INVITE
BY LOUIS II. JAFTT

Reports emanating from New YORK
are to the effect that Benny Leonard Is
planning to visit Philadelphia on the
evening of August "a. which is the same
thing for next Wednesday night. The
champion idea for his trip here is for
the purpose Of being among those there
at the Phillies Ball Park show, II,
the last bout Of which Lew Tender and
Sailor Friedman are to meet.
Several days ago Herman Taylor,
who, with Bobby Gunnis, Is putting on
the bouts, wired Leonard and Billy Glib
son, his manager, invitations to come
here for the show as guests Of the pro-
moters. AS yet no answer has been re-
ceived, but 1t is learned from New
York source that the champion. his
plaster ca sted bum hand and everything
will be at the ringside.
If IL is true that Leonard will b,

a chance to see three leading contender

wing from the ring to tbT large crow,

rumor also says that Leonard will hav,
with him X-ray pictures, statements
ETC., to prove that there has been n,
buncombe. con, bunk or anything lik
that about the metacarpel stuff.
From his vantage ut the ringside-
that is, IL Leonard gets there. he vii

Messing Tender or Friedman In action;
Besides this pair, Benny also VIII
get a glance at Johnny Dundee, whom
the champ has met time and again so
cially, and also within the ring. Dundee
and Leonard have boxed on eight dill
ferent and distinct occasions, and In
New York, last week Johnny said that
his present ambition was to box the
champion just once more-but this
time at weight. 135 pounds, eight hours
before the battle.
Leonard will see both Tender and
Friedman In the best Of condition. Lew
is keeping in the same good shape in
which he was for the bout that was to
have been put on between Leonard and
himself. Friedman has been working
out in Philadelphia for a week.
1t Is coincidence that Tender and
Friedman are doing their gymnasium
and sparring in the same place. Both are
putting In hard licks at Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien's, but at different times.
Tendler has not been arriving at the
gym until about an hour after the sailor
finishes his stunts.

"ALIAS" MAN WANTED
HERE ARRESTED BY
OKLAHOMA SHERIFF

J. K. Inman, alias W. o. Parker,
wanted here for alleged passing of
bogus checks, has been arrested by
the sheriff at Chickashaw, Okla
Sheriff Tony Ortiz forwarded cir
culars describing Inman to hun
dreds of cities following charges
made against him here by several
persons upon whom he is said to
have passed bad checks.
Inman drifted into Albuquerque
In a fine automobile and proceeded
to purchase saddle from Hauser'
to whom he gave check for $l2O.
During his short visit here last
February. he left several other
smaller checks which proved to be
Of no particular good to the reclpi-
ents.
News Of other officials through
out the southwest wanting to slip
hand cuffs on Inman began drift
ing into the sheriffs office. Sher-
if Ortiz received a tip that Inman
and his partner were in the coun-
try near Chloride, N. M. Thu
sheriff and deputy, Charles Bang
hart, made a quick trip there, and
learned that the postoffice had JUS:
been robbed and that Inman and
his partner had disappeared again.
Although Inman is under arrest,
It is doubtful If he will be returned
here for trial, as Oklahoma author
tiles appear to have several serious
charges against him upon which he
will probably be tried.

SANTA ROSA HAS
VIRGIL DECKER
CASE PARALLEL
Negro Found Dead Along
Railroad Tracks Had Ap-
parentIy Been Placed
There After Assault.

Santa Rosa, N. M. June 10
With the discovery of the body Of
Aaron Jennings, a negro of Talas,
Texas. the Virgil Decker case has
been re-enacted near here, ac-
cording to the belief Of citizens of
Santa Rosa,
The body Of Jennings was found
mile and a half east of Santa
Rosa. The head and left hand had
been completely severed from the
body by a train which had ap-
parently passed early in the morn
ing.
According to the report to the
coroner's jury, 1t appeared that
the negro had not been killed by
the train, but that the body had
been placed on the track after the
killing in order to make 1t appear
that death had boen accidental.
The lack Of blood where the body
was found and the fact that the
investigation showed that the
negro had been struck in three or
four places on the head with
seemingly the same instrument,
substantiated the belief that the
killing was deliberate.

have closed there will be no special
exercises for the children.
Contrast the indifference Of two
day with the patriotic zeal of AL
buquerque citizens three years ago.
On June IA, 1918, when the fourth
phase Of the great German often
sive on the west coast was under
way. flag day had particular
significance. The flag was then
flying on European soil at the head
of conquering armies.
The day was given over to flag
raisings, patriotic exercises anu
special flag observances on every
hand four years ago in Albuquer-
que. According to the Morning
Journal files there were two flag
raisings among the Santa Fe en-
ployes, one at the station attended
by coo persons and another at the
shops. There were flag salutes,
and Red Cross appeals.
The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie was holding its annual state
.encampment on that day with Girl
Scouts and Red Cross organizations
demonstrating their war activities
as a part of the encampment pro-
gram. The Elks' lodge held a big
flag day program at the lodge
room with special music and elo-
Iquent addresses in tribute to the
flag. The names of the Elks in
the service were read with pride,
The papers devoted lengthy edi-
torials to the history and meaning
of the American flag. Instructions
were given for the correct hand

shown in pictures and everywhere
the sight brought heavy applause.
It's still the same old flag. Hang

GALVESTON WILL
BE- CLEANED UP,
MAYORDECLARES
New Municipal Head of
Island City Announces a
Crusade Against Bootleg
ging, Gambling and Vice,
tBy The Associated Press)

Galveston, Texas, June 10
Press, public and pulpit have come
to the support of Mayor Charles A.
Keenan,, recently elected by the
administration party, who has an
nounced his determination 10
"clean up" this island city. In the
municipal elections early in May,
Mayor keenan, was said to have re-
ceived the support of the wide
open town" elements.
Mayor Keenan's announcement
came at a meeting of the board of
city commissioners at which the
name Of Chief of Police Sedgwick
came up for decision as to his re-
appointment. The mayor ann
ounced a crusade against boot
Logging" gambling and vice.
Second Only To Monte Carlo.
Galveston island has become sec
ond only to Monte Carlo in refer
ence to gambling FOR huge stakes,
the mayor told the board of COM
missioners citing alleged games at
suburban roadhouses in which up
wards of 100000 was known to
have constituted the stakes. Mayor
keenan, detailed a report made by
Captain Joe Brooks, formerly in
command of Texas Rangers here,
made following a raid upon one of
the "huge games" Captain Brooks
men entered and surprised the
gamblers, according to the report,
who were commanded to put up
their hands. One man, holding
$4,000 in bills of large denomina-
ton, dropped his money on the
table in the excitement. This to-
gether with about $1,000 more
which was in the center of the
table, was seized by the rangers,
who arrested all those present.
The men caught in the raid,
numbering ten or a dozen had in
their possession, according to
rangers, more than $450,000 in
currency and certified checks.
Several of these men were said to
be "big gamblers from the oil
fields" while others were from
Beaumont, Houston and Dallas.
A. P. Norman, commissioner Of
fire and police, who supports Chief
Sedgwick for appointment, de-
clared that the record of the de-
partment speaks for itself. He said
the Galveston force, contending
with all the difficulties attached
to the policing OF a seaport town
is highly efficient.
Ministers Back Mayor.
Elm respect to vice" Commits
Hioner Norman declared, at Is we'll
to remember that Galveston is
seaport. The vice district here has
been abolished and. as a conse-
squence, women of questionable
character reside everywhere
throughout the city. We must
curb vice as much as we can; as
much as we are doing, but 1t Is a
human impossibility to stamp it
out entirely"
Nearly every minister in Gal
weston has, since the announcement
of the newly elected mayor, come
to his support in public statements
and sermons. They charge that
painted women" by the hundreds
are allowed to gather in Galveston
from towns all over the state; that
"bootleggers" ply their traffic al
most at will, in some cases deliver
ing Illicit liquor great deal like
the iceman delivers ice, and that
drivers of taxi cabs have become
q menace to the morals of young
girls and women residents here.

New York, June 1S.-Gen. jose
NJ. Gomez, former president of
Cuba, died at the Hotel Plaza at
1:45 today.
General Gomez, second president
of the liberal party and popular
army commander, led life of many
vicissitudes. From battlefields to
quiet government and from this
place to prison, was his lot. The
troubles of his island country were
his own.
Jose Miguel" as his country
called him, was one of the most
active of Cubans in the political
and military life Of the republie.
He was extremely popular as rev.
dictionary leader, general and
finally as chief executive. He was
born in 1855.
The funeral will be Wednesday
forenoon in st. Patricks cathedral

main in the cathedral until Thurs
day, when it will be taken to Ha-

( rain was the last championship
contest fought in America with
bare knuckles. This fight, one of
the most bitter in the history of
the American ring, was preceded
about a year by Sullivan's thirty

The introduction of gloves
changed the game. 1t suited Cor

was the victor over Sullivan in
twenty-one rounds at New Orleans,
Corbett's next important battle in
which he successfully defended
his title came when he stopped
Charley Mitchell in three rounds
at Jacksonville, Fla.
Then RUBY" Fitzsimmons
doomed up. "Fitz" met Corbett at
Carson City, New, on March II,
1897, and Corbett's supremacy was
at an end. The heyday OF Fitz-
simmons, too, was comparatively
short. He met James J. Jeffries in
a Coney Island ring on June 8,
1899, and new champion was
enthroned who was to meet the
greatest men of his day and retire
indicated until coaxed out of re-
tirement.
Jeffries beat Fitzslmmons in
eleven rounds. On November 3,
1899, Jeff" won a referees deci-
sion over Tom Sharkey at Coney
Island in twenty-five rounds. In
1902, the big Californian needed
Fftzslmmons' demands for a re-
turn match and again stopped the
lanky Cornishman, this time in
eight rounds at San Francisco.
1t was another battle of cham
pions when Jeffries met Corbett
at San Francisco a year later.
Again Jeffries was invincible,
knocking out Gentleman Jim" in
ten rounds. After stopping Jack
Munroe in two rounds at San

tired handing the title to Marvin
Hart after the latter had defeated
Jack Root in twelve rounds at

history down to the present era.
