SOME TALK ABOUT
AN EXTRA SESSION
STATE LEGISLATURE
NOTHING DEFINITE YET
1t is Certain Special Session is
Wanted to Straighten Out
Tangle Following Clerical
Error Which Invalidates the
Taxing Feature of the Mu-
nicipal Finance Act.
NOTHING DEFINITE YET
(By Max Abernethy)

Raleigh, May 4.-City officials re-
ported to have framed request for
an extra session of the General As
sembly had not placed their petition
in the gubernatorial hands today.
Governor Morrison knows nothing
about the expected movement to
have him call the legislators together
know that the session is wanted to
straighten out the clerical error
which invalidated the taxing feat
ures of the States municipal finance
act provided the municipalities find
that they are unable to get along.
Because of the error many cities and
towns are finding it difficult to fin
ance themselves and it is the opinion
of certain officials that special sess-
ion alone can straighten out the
tangle.
Improvement bonds and bonds
authorized by the regular session
this year to take care of deficits in
municipalities have been temporarily
held up, bond buyers refusing to pur-
chase the issues until the record was
amended. The act as it stands now
is technically invalid, the attorney
general rules, bat it is the opinion the
bond buyers will not press this point
and that within a short time all
bonds offered will be taken.
Governor Morrison alone can call
the legislators into extra session.
The necessity for such action does
not appear to him although he has
conferred with Attorney General
Manning and is familiar with the sit
uation. If he has a change of heart
or mind the municipalities petition
will have to be mighty convincing.
The governor inclines to the belief
that an extra session should not be
called, but he makes it plain that
political expediency shall not inter
fere with the call should it appear TO
him that one was imperative.

in so far as strength was concerned
But in the application of this strength
Princeton was far the more effective
The Tiger shell began to go ahead and
the boat propelled by blue tipped sweeps
fell behind.
After passing the mile a length In
front, Princeton increased its advantage
to open water. but this was only for a
short space. Then came their mad dash
down the fairway toward the goal and
Princeton's glorious triumph.
Among Princeton's heroes of the VIC
tory the shining light was Heinie Leh
the greatest stroke who ever set the
pace for Tiger eight Leh was driv-
ing. relentless machine. But at no stage
of the race did he have to pull his men
along as he had to pull them at one OF
two places in the Navy contest. He had
with him seven other men who already
had tasted the sweets of triumph-al-
together an experienced crew which
won in an experienced way.
Leh Was Shining Light.
Larson. the California stroke. 1873
pounds stretched over six feet one inch
Of wiry body. was another wonder. He,
too. was an irnperturable driver. Kemp,
1874 pound giant in the waist of the
either boat-was another powerful
factor in the fine showing of the
visitors.
1t was a race truly contested. with
nary a mishap to mar 1t. Nobody
caught even the suspicion of q crab.
There was never hitch.
AS preliminary to the big race four
club crews of Princeton, Tower,
Cloister. Terrace and Charter, had II
out in a three-quarter mile race They
finished in the order in which they were
named. Tower took the lead at the
start and won by about half length.
The California crew now will move on
to Poughkeepsie, where II will row In

old Yale stroke. who coaches the coast

his men had made him all the more san
guine about the result on the Hudson.

Question Of Forfcits.

T.. Moruke of stamford. Conn. writes
asking for Information on an interesting
question:
"Win you kindly settle the following
question through the columns Of your
paper:
"a bets that when the forfeit is
posted and one OF the participants OF a
boxing match is overweight at the time
of Weighing in. the boxer who Is within
the weight limit can claim the forfeit.
but he has to go through with the match
IL he takes the money. r states that he
can take the forfeit. but does not have to
go through with the match unless he
cares TO personally"
There lie no general rule covering the
point at issue. The Walker law of this
State does not recognize wagers. al
though forfets for weight and appear
ance arc not prohibited. In England a
side stake Is stlll feature Of matches
and I'm championship match some time
ago. the title holder was over weight.
He lost the side bet and title and he
and tho new champion then fought at
catchweights. The bout was won by
the new title holder.
IT is the procedure In all matches
where weight forfeit is put M and
one man Is over weight. for tho boxer
who takes the forfeit of his prospective
opponent TO go through with the match.
II stands 60 reason that the man over
weight could not be asked 10 forfeit
his money unless the bout was fought.
There have boon many cases where
n boxer has refused utterly TO go on
with an opponent over weight and IN
such case no forfeit could be claimed.
\ boxer who puts up a weight forfeit
does so in the expectation that he will
be able TO make the stipulated poundage
and IL he fails the opposing boxer has
the option of calling off the match or
taking the forfeit and going on with the
contest.
There may have been cases of a boxer

Champion.
ny CHARLES f. MATHIsON.

In a majority of the bouts in which
Benny Leonard has taken part since he
wrested the lightweight title from Fred
die Welsh the title holders well
brushed hair has not been disarranged
by his opponents.
But tomorrow night at Harrison
Field the champion will meet an adj
versary whose past performances seem
to indicate that his blows will do more
than obliterate the part in the capillary
substance on the summit of the title
holders Uranium
Rocky Kansas Of Buffalo who Is to
have his first chance at the lightW eight
crown. has made deep impression on
patrons of pugilism by decisive victories
recently over the best lightweights who
are contenders for the honors OF the
class. He twice drubbed Richie Mitchell,
gave Willie Jackson a trouncing and has
twice had Gene belmont, one of the rug
gedest men in the ring, close to a knock
out
In fact. Kansas is the sturdiest and
most combative lightweight developed
I'm many years. and it may be taken foI
granted that If the Buffalo boy drops
Leonard to the canvas as Mitchell did In
Madison Square Garden the title Is apt
to change hands

that his head seems set in his shoulders.
He lacks the dazzling speed of the
champion but the challenger never takes
a step backward and when he begins to
shoot his heavy fists at an adversary
the latter must break ground or get
hurt.
Leonard is unquestionably the clever
est boxer who has held the title since
the DAYS Of Cans. and II the bout goes
the limit IL is certainty that he will
retain his championship and that he
will receive the popular verdict.
II Is also true that Leonard is the
hardest and most scientific hitter the
Buffalonian has ever faced. and IL 1t Is
possible for Kansas to be stopped
Leonard will do 1t.

hard punch, landing flush on Kansas

Last Friday morning Jan. 7th., 1921, at 8:30 o'clock, Mrs. Maggie Dees died at the family home near Tip of brights disease.
 The deceased has been a consistent member of the Meth odist church 30 years. She with her family moved from Coffeyville, Miss. to McCrory, Ark, in 1916. She leaves a husband, one son, two daught- CTS and a host of friends to mourn her loss.
 Dear husband and children, it is sad to be left to sigh for the sound of a voice that is silent forever, to long for the touch of a mothers hand that is still, yet while we grieve, there is a sweet face in our hearts for we know that our Heavenly Father doeth all things for the best and will comfort and help us to bear our burdens if we look to Him for strength. Cast your cares upon Him who is an ever present helper in time of need. This world is sad and lonely without mother, but heaven is brighter and more precious to you since she is there to beckon you on.-Con- tributed.
