New York, Jan. 5.-Near- sighted
American promoters and greedy
boxers are doing their best to bite
the hand that's feeding them.
Champions are demanding sums
nearly the size of the presidents

champions used to get.
Promoters are giving them their
prices and soaking the public for it.
The public is getting tired Of be-
ing soaked. as Tex Richard, pre-
mier New York promoter. recently
learned.
II Richard didn't lose money on
the Dempsey Brennan fight at IS
to $25 a head, he came very close
to it.
While these factors are killing
the game in America, constructive
measures are being taken in Eu-
rope to prolong its life.

MRS SARAH COTTON SMITH
WANTS MODERN METHODS
ASSOCIATED Preszl

Clearwater, Sept. 13.-Revival in
some quarters of agitation for a coun-
ty poor farm for PineIlas county, has
brought forth vigorous protest from
Mrs. Sarah Cotton Smith, county pro-
bationi officer. She takes the occasion
cf her monthly report for August to
assert that no such public charge is
needed and that the establishment of
a poor farm would prove inviting 70
persons in other parts of the country
who might take advantage of Pinel-
las county's benevolence to spend their
declining days in a congenial climate.
"There may come time in the de-
velopment of Pinellas county when a
poor farm win be a necessity" she
says, "but for the present such an
institution would only be a standing
invitation to the aged dependents in
colder climates to come here to spend
their last days"
Reviewing the welfare work now
carried on IN the county, Mrs. Smith
adds: "The strength of a nation lies
largely in its homes, and poverty
alone is never a reason for breaking
'up a home. Child welfare workers
are agreed that ever a poor home is a
better place to rear a child than the
bestfof Institutions, and many states
have laws forbidding caring for chill
dren in poor houses. We have eight
names on0our relief list each of whom
have one or more children, and it
would be nothing short of crime to
compel any one Of these people to
break home ties and enter an institu-
ton BE it ever so humble, there's
no place like home, especially to the
aged. and it would be most cruel-and
much more expensive-to compel our
nine aged people to exchange their
HURDLE fresides for poor farm"

ASSOCIATED Press1

San Francisco, Sept. 13.-A state
nlent expressing the conviction that
perjury was committed by one of the
chief witnesses for the prosecution. at
the grand jury investigation last night
of the death of Miss Rappe, for whose
alleged murder Roscoe Arbuckle is
under arrest. was issued today by Dis
trict Attorney Brady.
Mr.. Brady also charged he believed
undue influence and pressure of a
sinister character had been brought
to bear" upon certain witnesses.
Whether any arrests would be made
in connection with his charge of per-
jury. he said, would depend upon fur
ther developments.
The grand jury adjourned after 1
o'clock this morning without conclud-
ing its examination of the testimony.
The investigation will be resumed
at date convenient to Mr.. Brady.
Arbuckle was brought into the
grand jury room at 1 o'clock this
morning, but remained only three
minutes when he was led back to his
cell.
Mr.. Brady charged that Miss ley
Provost, also known as Miss ley
PyvrOn, had changed her testimony
before that grand jury from that she
had given previously to the police and
officials, that Miss Rappe had told her
Arbuckle had caused her injuries.
Earlier last night it was reported
that Miss Pyvron refused to sign a
statement that Miss Rappe had told
her this and later it was said she de-
MED she ever made such an assertion
concerning Miss Rappe, Brady said.
Brady also charged that Miss Alice
Blake, another prosecution witness,
was missing.
Brady's statement came shortly
after the grand jury had concluded a
five-hour consideration of the case and
adjourned without voting an indict-
ment.
