LOhdy COAldAAS new. The troubles he suggests have always existed and were known of by all save those whom would not know. MODIFIED PROPOSAL
 IS EXPECTED SOON
 Washington. November 2s.-Gov- ernment officials in touch with the negotiations of Henry Ford for pur- chase and lease of the Muscle Shoals nitrate and waterpower projects said today they expected to receive soon from MT. Ford a modified proposal. probably a complete substitution for that now under discussion.
 The expected offer would be an outgrowth of the recent conference here between Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Major General Reach, chief of army engineers, and MT. Ford and his advisors. That conference was understood to be nonproductive in the way of progress on the offer be- fore the conferees.
 Differences as to the present pro- posal exist between the government s representatives and MT. Ford, which apparently cannot be removed. It was said authoritatively today that if the proposal was submitted to Con- gress in it's present form that body undoubtedly would not accept 1t.
 Rejection Feared
 Belief that Congress would reject the offer was said to be justified on the ground of economy and it's re- peated refusal to appropriate more money for. the completion of the Muscle Shoals project. If the Ford project was accepted by Congress, army officials estimate about ESQ., 000,000 would have to be made avail able for the completion of the Will son dam. Army estimates recently revised by the engineers placed the figures at between s42.000,000 and S55, ,000 900.
 MT. Ford has offered s2s.ooo.o 1000 for this work, and it was understood firmly declined in conference with Mr Hoover to increase that allow ance. Thus the negotiations have been at least temporarily abandoned until MT. Ford, in company with Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, makes a new survey of the project.
 When MT. Ford has made the in spection and received the advice of MT. Edison concerning the natural possibilities of development at Mus

when an examination of Miftimores viscera was made. The state allowed the girl full rein and only once in- terrupted her sensational story, which covered a period of nearly 10 years, graphically recited in two hours, during which the audience awaited every word from the witness. With crystal always before her, the red-haired, gingham -clad former postmistress recounted wierd story. When she said that her Aunt Sa- rah" had taught her to read and write before she was born, the state entered an objection, but immedi- ate1y withdrew it.

Bill Is Introduced
To Put Wrestling
Under Commission

A LBANY. March 30.-Professional
wrestling will y placed under
the same restrictions as boxing If
bill introduced in the Legislature
to-day becomes law.
This measure, which would rut
the mat game under a commission
similar to the State Boxing Com
mission, is sponsored by Senator
William Simpson, Republican, of
Brooklyn. In the introduction of
the bill is seen decision of leaders
to abandon the scheme of putting
all professional sports under
single commission.
Much opposition to the supreme
commission idea has devcloped
within the last week. 1t is believed
here now that Governor Miller will
let the present boxing and racing
commissions continue in office ur-
disturbed and that no attempt will
be made to restrict professional
baseball by the creation of a spe-
cial commission.

Feustel Gets i
License From {
Jockey Club
Cloud of Suspicion Lifted
From Trainer Of Mars O.
War; BedweH Disciplined

The stewards of the Jockey Club yes
terday afternoon granted a trainers
license to Louis Feustel, at the same
time taking stern measures of disci-
pline against II. q. Guy Bedwell.
trainer for ]. 4. L. Ross, the multi
millionaire horseman of Canada.
About a month ago the stewards
tabled the application of Feustel for
a renewal cf his license. These solons,
law unto themselves, made no ex-
planation at the time as to the reason
for their action. It was believed by
those close to the inside of turf poll
tics that the Jockey Club was holding
3 club over the trainer of Man o. War
to make him peach" on a fellow train
er. The trainer in question is pre-
sumed to be Guy Bedwell. The incl
dent in question is supposed TO have
developed at Windsor, Ont. previ-
Gus to the match race between Man
o War and Sir Barton last fall.
The Jockey Club disciplined Bedwell
by refusing to accept his appointment
as the authorized agent Of J. K. L.
Ross. Bedwell did not apply to the
Jockey Club for a license. He evident
ly intended to race IN Maryland, Ken
tucky and Canada, rather than around
New York. As authorized agent of
Mr.. Ross, he would have had no
trouble getting Maryland, Kentucky
and Canadian licenses.
Now Bedwell viii find himself
ostracized, as none OF these assoeia-
tions would dare TO fly in the face OF
the Jockey Club. It was the only way
the turf solops could strike at Bed
well, as he did not ask them for
license this year
Yesterdays meeting was attended By
August Belmont, E K. Sturgis. j. f.
Cowdin, Joseph E. Widener, and r. r.
Wilson. The stewards awarded race
meetings to the United Hunts Club
on May 21 and September /. A great
many licenses were granted to train
ers and jockeys on the recommenda-
tion of the license committee. Former
Jockey ". Ward, who was set down in
1913 for improper department, was re-
instated.

Pete Herman Stops
Spencer i'm Twelve
Rounds at Pioneer
Former Bantam Champion
Has West Slider Out When
Referee Ends She Battle

Pete Herman, of New Orleans, for
mer bantamweight champion of the
world, stopped Willie Spencer, of the
West Side, in the twelfth round of a
scheduled fifteen-round bout last night
at the Pioneer Sporting Club. Herman
took things easy in the early rounds,
and it was evident from the start that
he could have gone out at will and
finished the West Slider. The ex-cham-
plon weighed 120 and Spencer 1l5M
pounds.
After loafng for two rounds Herman
stepped out in the third and foored
Spencer for a count of nine with right
hook to the jaw. Spencer came back
quickly and showered Herman with
lefts and rights. The New Yorker con-
tinued to press the battle in the fourth,
when he made his best showing,
Herman had Spencer dizzy from a
bombardment of lefts and rights in the
sixth, and from then until the eleventh
session toyed with the West Side boy.
In the eleventh Pete went in to finish
the fray He drove Willie around the
ring and finally foored him with a
right to the jaw for count Of nine.
Spencer staggered to his feet, but was
knocked down again. The bell sounded
at the>toll of seven.
just after the twelfth opened Spen-
Ger slipped and fell in Herman's corner.
When he came up Herman hooked a
right to the jaw and Spencer sprawled.
He staggered to his feet, but Referee
Jack O'Sullivan stopped the fight.
Jimmy Carroll, the West Side light
weight. defeated John Lundy, Of
Brooklyn, in the ten-round semi-fnal.
Carroll tore Lundy to ribbons with
iefts and foored him in the seventh
with right to the jaw. Sam Vogel, a
lightweight. and John Victor fought
a six-round draw. Joe Clifford got
the referees recision over Al Toiano
in another six-rounder. Willie Cappe
