STOP SQUABBLES,
KILBANE ADVISES
Says Referee Disputes
Are Hurting The
Game
BY JOHNNY KILBANE
Fcatherweight Champion.

For the benefit of boxing, these
squabbles about who will referee a
fight ought to be stopped.
Each time title go has been ar
ranged in the last year or two, there
has been a fight over the referee,
and it got so serious a. the time
Dempsey fought Billy Miske in Ben
ton Harbor that the fight was near
ly called off.
1t would be just as easy for the
managers of fighters to decide def
nitely on a referee for a fight at
the time they sign articles as to de
lay. Then. if they found they
couldn't agree, and and wanted to
cancel the show, the fans wouldn't
be up against proposition of hav-
ing to pay good money to see a sub
stitute show.
i don't think Jack Kearns will
consent to any referee other than
Jimmie Dougherty, the "Baron of
Leipervillc." He fought for Dough
erty at Benton Harbor and didn't
win his argument until the night be-
fore the fight. Kearns was sincere
at that time in his statement that I'M
less Dougherty was the third man
in the ring the champ wouldn't fight.
And | believe he's sincere now when
he says he doesn't want Harry Ertie,
the Jersey City marshal who is the
choice of the Jersey Boxing Commits
sion.
Dougherty knows the game. He
has followed the ring game all his
life, and was interested in it even
in the early days when he was a pro-
Ifessional baseball player He later
managed stable of fighters which
included Jack Blackburn, Eddie Len
ney and other we'll known boys. He
has promoted many fights and has
refereed many others. He knows the
game from all angles.
Ertle, Brown, Edgren, Jefferies
| and the others who have been men.

Leslie Battles Vienna
IL Innings To 3-3 Tie

LESLIE, June 22.-Leslie is play
ing some first class ball this sea-
son, as evidenced by the fast game
staged Tuesday afternoon at Vienna
between the Leslie team and the vi
emma nine. The score stood 3-3 at
the end of IL innings, and looked
as if it might run on interminably
in a tie.
Batteries for Leslie were Bradley
and Bass, who commenced the game,
Bradley later being superseded by
Sumerford, who played such splen-
did ball all throughout the last years
ball season, and won for himself the
title of "the baby third baseman."
Sumerford took the pitchers box at
the beginning of the 4th inning, CIV
ing Leslie two hits near the close
of the game which added more lau-
rels to the spectacular playing of
the team.
A game will be played Thursday
afternoon at Leslie between the
Brentwood and Leslie teams, the game
to be called at a o'clock. Walter
johnson, who trained the team last
year, will also manage the players
this year, and he is whipping them
into fine shape by his experienced
meothds.
Batteries for Leslie Thursday will
be Colverhouse and Bass, and spec
tacular game is anticipated, for the
Leslie team knows the proves of
the Bronwood boys on the diamond.

America Startles
Arms Conference
y With Naval PLa1,
PRESIDENT DREETHES
INSPIRING OPTIMISM
INTO ARMS FARLEY
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
Gseased Wire Service to The Journal.)
downright, 1929 -

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. IA
President Harding has left to Sec
rotary Hughes the task of stating
Americas aims in the armament
conference. The secretary, in ac-
cepting the Craftsmanship of the
conference, swept the delegates COM
pletely off their feet by publicly pro-
claiming that America is willing to
scrap thirty battleships built Or
building, and asked that Japan and
England reduce their navies accord
ingly.
His statement that America ask
ed for naval holiday Of at least
ten years called the great opening
audience to. it's feet. Let prepare
tions for offensive warfare stop
here and now" he declared amid
new applause. Il
Although they had expected no
such proposal at this einle, both
British and Japanese delegates to-
night were prepared to meet the
radical Hughes proposals in princi-
pie. 1t is realized there must. be
some form of agreement as to Far
Eastern problems before the Hughes
plan for disarmament can be adopt
ed, so while the conference unex-
pectedly got away to u flying start,
the public should not be misled into
anticipating too quick result is.
The president in his address
opening the conference today
dwelt only upon the ideals which in
spired the call to the nations now
gathered here in solemn conclave,
declaring that the conclusions Of this
body of delegates would have a sig
nal influence on all human progress
on the fortunes of the world.
Although the atmosphere of Wash
ington has been redolent of pessim-
ism and intrigue the past seven days,
although the delegates to the confer
ence could not agree upon a spokes-
man to reply to President Harding
and consequently there was no re-
ply-the president himself breathed
an inspiring optimism which, as al
ready stated in these dispatches,
makes him the hope and possibly
the, final factor in such success as
may be achieved. e
ST welcome you not alone in good
will and high purpose" the president
said, "but with high faith"
- The president met the wave of pes
sinism which has beaten even upon
the doors of the White House and
there is no doubt that~the simplici-
ty of his brief address and the ear
nest manner in which he uttered it
had a marked impression upon his
hearers.

JAPAN PREPARED
To LIMIT HER NAVY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-(By the
Associated, Press.)-Japan's delega-
ton to the armament limitation con-
ference is prepared to reach. an
agreement on naval limitation indie
pendently of the question of naval
bases in the Pacific or settlement of
Far Eastern political problems also
to be discussed in Washington, Adj
miral Baron Kato, heading the Japa-
nese group, said tonight, simplifying
his early expression that the Amer
lean proposals were 'far reaching"
but probably formed a suitable basis
for conference discussion of y the
strictly naval phase of the agenda.
The American plan has been turn
ed over to his naval experts here by
Baron Kato. Pending their study
and report, he said, he could, not
say definitely how his delegation
would view the specific proposals it
contained. With that report in hand,
however, ,the baron saidlhe expect
ed soon to be prepared to make a
definite answer.
The Japanese leader was pressed
for a statement as to- whether &C
tual agreement to limit naval arma-
ment might not be linked UP with
Far Eastern settlements SO that the
one would hinge on the other in
reaching final conclusions. He reit-
Grated that he was prepared to deal
with each question separately and
had no preference as to the order of
consideration.

AND JAPAN
LIKELY To ACCEPT
HUGHES PROPOSAL
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN


WASHINGTON. Nov. little
most important thing in politics is
the drawing of a definite line.
The temptation of the politician
is to indulge in generalities, a spe-
cific program is always necessary
when step in advance is to be
taken.
President Hardings speech laid
the foundation for the statement of
Secretary Hughes, which followed
The president was positive in COM
hitting the United States to a policy
'less of armament and none of
war;"
Secretary, Hughes worked up to
his climax, using words increasingly
definite and emphatic until he an
nounced the program proposed by
the United States, namely:
The discontinuance Of all battle
ship construction for ten years.
Voice of the People
The scrapping of more than mil
lion and half tons of navel vessels.
of which the United States would
contribute $4,000 tons, the British
583,000> tons and the Japanese $780,
900 tons. The United States will
lead in the number of tons scrapped,
although we do not have the largest
navy.
Here is a program for other ma
tons to accept or reject.
If they accept the conference will
mark tremendous step forward to-
ward universal peace.
If the naVieS Of the world are I'M
i. 41J,r nv ri
the world has ten years of rest from
the unbearable expense of prepar
edness, it will never turn BACK.
No one person can claim a large
shore of credit for the movement,
because coercion was found in the
mingled voices of the multitudes in
all lands. Governments do not
speak for themselves; they merely
give expression to the heart throbsS
of the oVerburdened masses and
these masses are not likely to tol
crate any return to conditions that
have compelled this conference.
Sentiment of America
The president and Secretary
Hughes have sensed the sentiment
of America. Their words will be
by a unanimity that few,
amy, pTSN1OuO uIISL cL1SCS A~N~
Their words are winged
with hope;. they will stir response
so loud, so long and so irresistible
as to fix our nations position at the
head of the peace forces of the
world.
While no one in this country can
speak so confidently of sentiments
in other lands, it is not improbable
that surging humanity-who are
like at heart everywhere-win speak
words of command to any govern
ment that falters, but it is not like
Iy that any government will falter.
If I were, to venture prediction,
it would be that Great Britain will
accept Immediately, and that Japan
will follow AT once, thus making

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.--Sixty thou
sand garment workers were called
out on strike this morning in pro
test against the piece work system
and an increase from forty-one to
forty-nine hours a week which was
to be put into effect today by their
employers. Indications were that the
struggle might be prolonged.
The International Ladies Garment

shops were involved.

the union workers failed to aid the
employers in their efforts to increase

charged the employers with violat-

the question of working conditions to
a bipartisan commission which was
to have reported November 1. The

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.--To

Saturday from Quantico, Va, to
guard the mails, Secretary DENLY
send the following message:
There is no compromise in
this battle with bandits. If two
marines, guarding a mail car, for
example, are suddenly covered by
a robber, neither must hold up
hts hands, but both must begin
shooting at once. One may be
killed, but the other will get the
robber and save the mail. When
our men go as guards over the
mail, that mail must be delivered
or there must be a marine dead
at the post of. duty.
"You must be brave as you al
ways are. You must be con-
stantly alert and you must, when
on guard duty, keep your. weap-
pms in hand and, if attacked, shoot,
and shoot to kill" s.
