fusion Mr.. Burke shouted at Mr.. Blan-
tom you're dirty dog
Both representatives. later asked to
have their remarks eXpunged from the
record and order was restored.

walk out, if you want to, but there
are 100000 idle men ready to take
your jobs and you won't have any

work"
Mr.. Burke, formerly an active men,
Der of the conductors brotherhood,
took exception, especially to figures
quoted by Mr.. Blanton as representing
the monthly wages of railroad work
ers, and In this connection charged
the Texas member with making false
statements. He also denied Mr.. Ban
tons charges that the strike would be
one against the government.
Mr.. Burke contended Mr.. BlantOn
was misleading the country, and was
prompted by hatred and prejudice
to attack railroad men "who have q
grievance and feel they have not had
justice"

Plymouth in 1920. In relatively recent years they
have come to be known the Pilgrims, but to
many of us the name does not convey any idea
by which this small group is distinguished, when
the larger term Puritan" is used To most men
"Pilgrm" and Puritan" are interchangeable
words
These impressions are largely erroneous and es-
pecally so in confusing the purpose and the ulti-
mate achievements of Pilgrim and Puritan The
Puritan the driving force which politically
commercially, and morally created New England.
The Pilgrim on the other hand, had such drv-
ing power; but he made an unequaed contribu-
ton to the progress of the world, in which the
Puritan had only collateral part.
The nucleus of what finally became the famous
Plymouth church was a little group of farmers
and laborers brought together at Scrooby in the
north of England, through the personal magnetism
and capacity Of William Brewster They were a
part, and a very radical part, of the Puritan re-
volt of the time. They claimed to be a church.
but they had neither pastor nor organization. The
first article of their creed opposition to the
established church, and while they were served
from time to time by the Puritan clergy Of that
church. they were clear from the beginning that
they must separate from it wholly. This was about
1906.
William Bradford united with this unOrganzed
group at about this. time, and John Robinson a
little later. They. all spiritual rebels. Their
revolt was against;the Puritans quite as much as
against the Episcopalans BY their standards
the Puritans were of the two the greater sinners
because, having seen the truth. they patered and
shuffied they stayed In the church.
Contrary to lOng-establlshed and still persistent
belief, the members of the Scrooby congregation
were never prosecuted by either church or state.
The Pilgrims went first to Amsterdam, but they
didn't like it. The city tolerated all sorts of
religious dissent. Therefore, while there was work
to be had in Amsterdam, they finally settled in
Leyden-chiefy because that city had within It no
other religious malcontents; they had the field
of dissent all to themselves.
The group never hourished They were mostly
farmers and laborers Leyden was an Industrial
city. It's Industries strongly controlled by
guilds and it was necessary to become Dutch citi-
Zens to get really lucrative employment. The life
was hard. The young people began to murmur
Some began to break away. Some even became
Dutch citizens
The original emigrants were now approaching
middle fe and time pressing They were
determined to remain English, but soon realized
that they could not do If they stayed In Hol-
land. They then decided that while they would

JEFFRIES FOR REFEREE
Bob Edgren and Tex Rickard Favor Former Champion As Third Man in Ring on July 2.

Atlantic City, June 1S.-Robert Ed gren, stakeholder and final arbiter of all disputes between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter, and Tex Rickard favor the selection of James J. Jeffries, former champion as ref cree of the championship contest.
 Edgren made this announcement after a conference with Manager Kearns on the referee situation over which a controversy is raging be- cause of the desire of New Jersey boxing commission to appoint a New Jersey referee.
 If the referee finally is left to me for selection I shall recommend the choice of Jeffries," Edgren said. He has an unimpeachable reputation for honesty, knows the game and has worldwide reputation as former champion.
 When the Carpentier-Dempsey match was first made, I was the choice of the principals as referee. But I am willing to step aside in fla vor of Jeffries or anyone else if the situation can be odjusted.'
 There will be another meeting of the commission Monday at which time the referee question probably will be settled.
 Wm. (Pooch) Donovan, the Veter- an of Harvard athletic teams eX- pressed the opinion today that hard work for the next two weeks would place Dempsey on edge for the de- fense of. his title. He declared, how ever, that the champion would re- quire the services of some high class sparring partners to reach the top of his form.
 Battling Ghee, the Memphis, Tenn, 1855 pound negro, who waited for eight days for an opportunity to take a few punches at Dempsey probab ply is sadder but wiser today. Ghee faced the champion for the first time yes terday and was on the floor three times during their two rounds. Ghee hurried to a dentist to find out what could he done to save two leelh which Dempsey knocked loose

FOR GLORY NOT COIN
Georges Carpenter Wants American Public to Know He Is After Cham pionship Rather Than Dollars.

Manhasset, N. Y, June 1S.-The story that Georges Carpenter lost his fortune during the war and consented to fight Dempsey as a means of re- plenishing his bank account has been branded here as idle talk
 One of the challenger's most inti- mate friends said today that Car pentier has been much annoyed over this deport and wants the American public to know that he is fighting Dempsey for glory.
 While hia share of the purse will be large in the gross, it will dwindle in the payment of taxes and division with manager, trainers and other members of the party and will be comparatively small" his friend said.
 Few persons in America know that Carpenter has money enough to permit his retirement from the ring right now and keep him and his fam fly in luxury for life.
 His beautiful villa at Dieppe is one of the show places in the coun- try He has a large number of ser wants there and at his parents home which also is a place of beauty and luxury. He keeps half a dozen auto mobiles and has valuable property in different parts of France from which he realizes a comfortable income.
 "Georges wants to be heavyweight champion of the world"
 Carpenter was much refreshed to- day after his enforced idleness of yesterday when he was compelled to cut the training program short be- cause of rain.

,IEFFRIES FAILED
 IN COMEBACK ROLE
Californian Met His Master in
 Jack Johnson

In the long list of decisive ring bat ties through which the mantle worn by Sullivan has passed down the years to the bronZed shoulders of Jack Dempsey, there is no page to com pare with that recounting the clash between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeff ries in a sun-scorched arena at Reno on July 4, 1910.
 Tex Rickard reared a great wood en saucer out on the plains of Ne vada to accommodate the thousands who gathered from all over the coun- try to see the tilt. He hung up purse of $1O1.OOO, an unprecedented prize in those days.
 Jefries had not fought in more than five years. In the days of his reign in the ring, none had been his master and he had retired voluntar- fly with no defeats recorded against him. He was 35 years old, an age often reckoned as dotage in the realm of sport. The attempt on his part to restore the championship to the white race was an effort to which he had been induced by a constant clam or for those who despaired of John son ever being beaten by the crop of white hopes then seeking matches with him.
 Crowd Sees Battle.
 It was. a great throng that assem- bled for the battle. - Fringed around the great arena packed were rows of birds nests,'' built to shelter the sweet sisterhood from the Reno di- vorce colony. To them the fight was a charming break in the monotony of serving time Jeffries trained down to 225 pounds to meet the sleek op- ponent three years his junior and then in magnificent physical trim. There was vigorous fighting at the start, with Jeffries crouched into seri- ous mien and his opponent erect, grinning and talking as usual
 Kidding Jeff.
 Tn the fifth round Jeffries sent a stray left that rocked Johnson and momentarily wiped away his smile. But the worried look on the black face passed big white teeth again gleamed and through them came the Don't Rush, Mistah Jeff, doncha heah what a'hm tellin' your"

 Age and five years of freedom from the rigors of training told on Jeff r1eS ana the power or ms DloWS gre" less strong as the battle went on. In the 18th round-the last one-John- son sent him to the ropes with a saw age uppercut. Against the dropping head of the weary white man the black fighter then pounded away with one uppercut after another.
 The challenger had tried and failed and he fell taking punishment. His manager hopped into the ring to stop the slaughter whereupon Rickard held up Johnson's hand in signal of victory.
