Bankers Fine
Generosity

HYOTHING more pleasing than
~ generosity, when it comes
IN from the heart. When 1t
breaks out at a meeting of bankers,
supposed, by the ignorant, to be
cold, the thing is the more beauti-
full.
Behold Mr.. Lamont, of j. Pier
pont Morgan & Co., urging upon
bankers to forgive the debts of the
Allies, amounting now to ten
thousand million dollars.
There was an idea that such for
giving should be done by Congress
and the ordinary little people, but
that seems a MISTAKE.
While the war was on Mr.. La
mont's firm, Morgan G. Co., made
tens of millions out of the war
In fact, that war did the firm a
great deal of good, at a rather
critical moment.
Many of the millions that Eu-
rope owes the United States passed
through the hands of Morgan & Co..
buying goods here, and Morgan &
Co. didn't lose anything on the
transaction! The money lent to
Europe was supplied by little people
that bought Liberty Bonds and sold
them at a loss. If the debts are
now forgiven those same little peo-
pie will have to be taxed over
again or buy more bonds, to be sold
at loss, in order to make up the
ten thousand millions.
You can't help admiring the gen
erous impulse expressed by Mr.. La
mont. Nor can you help wonder
ing what he would say if some
demagogue leading a crowd of little
people asked them seriously to con-
slider the advisability of returning
to Europe the profits that Morgan
G. Co. took out of the war, "be-
cause we want to show kindness
to our dear Allies and brothers.

DEMPSEY TIRED
 OF GAY PARIS
 AND HOMESICK

PARIS, May 9.-After a converse tion over the long distance telephone between Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, and his man. ager, Jack Kearns, Dempsey decided to remain over one more day in Paris. Kearns told the champion that the terms for the return match with Georges Carpenter had not yet been definitely settled, but were progress ing. Dempsey said he was tired of Europe. He said he was homesick for the United States; that the sights of Paris had no attraction for him. He insisted that if anything was to be done about the match his business manager would have to act quickly in order to keep him in Europe, for other wise, he would take the Aquitania for New York, which is scheduled to sail from England on May 13.

WASHINGTON, May 9. - Jacob Schurman, the American Minister at Picking, today in an official dispatch to the State Department described as a complete rout, the defeat of the forces of General Chang by the army under Wu Fei Pu. He said that the victory of the latter was complete and overwhelming, the enemy retiring from the field in wild disorder and panic. Chang has apparently given up the battle, and conceded the vic tory to his opponent. Up to yesterday twenty-one trains packed with retreat ing troops had passed through Tien- tsin, and were still moving in the wrong direction if they were contem- plating battle.

pathy towards Alaska and Alaskans, and the needs of the country. The extent of furture, appropriations for road work will depend on the ben efits conferred by the work now be- ing done. More work should be ac- complished this year than before for the same amount of money. The preliminary surveys and estimates have all been attended to- Much money spent the past two years in shipping in equipment, such as trac- tors, etc., will this year be ap- piled to actual construction as the commission now has plenty of val uable and useful apparatus. The pres ent appropriation for roads in Alaska in the Army bill as it passed the House, was $425,O00. It is not prob able that it will be reduced in the Senate
 The officials of the Road Commits sion are also Engineers in River and Harbor Work, Col. J. c. Steese, being Chief Engineer and Major Gotwals, Asst. Engineer. There has been of late some activity in this branch of the work in Alaska, and great promise for more. The en- gineers have reported favorably on several necessary projects for as sisting navigation. These reports have been approved by the war de- partment, and bills are now pending in Congress providing for the nec- essary surveys preliminary to ac- tual decisions and appropriations. These projects include the dredging of h Wrangell Narrows, and the mak- ip4 of a harbor at Wrangell, the Na- iokwim Portage, and work on t ss olavana River. The only con- a te on of a similar kind now in ,f oy is the work being done to-
 he s,completion of Nome liar D nee Ndez-Fairbanks road should DeN. 5t for auto traffic by July 15, this being the date when the sum- n&t sufficiently clears of snow. This year the Road Commission may at tempt to clear the summit earlier by using TINT to open up the snow where it has drifted and hardened, so that the warm June sun can get in it's work.
 Major Gotwals anticipates that he will be allowed but one more year i in Alaska on Road Commission work. He looks forward with re- gret to leaving the country and los ing the chance for continuing by personal intercourse the many warm friendships he has made in the north. The army bosses however have ap- parently determined to make him a future general for he must go two years to the Army Service School at Leavenworth, Kansas, and study.

FOURTH NEGRO
 IS STRUNG UP
 FOR ASSAULT

LEAGUE, Texas, May 9.-Shad- rack Greene, a negro whose dead body was found hanging to a tree north of here early this morning, was one of tht negroes implicated in the murder and criminal assault committed on Eula Hawley, sev- enteen year old white girl at Kirvin. The first reprisal for the attack on the girl was the burning of three negroes who had been taken from the jail last Saturday by a mob of five hundred at Kirvin. One of the burned negroes, named Snap Cur ry, confessed that he had been ac- cessory to the crime, and stated that Greene was also one of the party. Officers Investigating the affair sta ted today that fifth negro had also been urged to leave town in order to avoid trouble, as his death by violence will surely be, effected should the enraged populace learn his identity.

 Three knockdowns helped toward KeEey's great margin. The first came in the fourth round from a. terrific right to the jaw and the other two were grouped in the 10th, Ke1ley's right twice finding Mor1ey's chin and each time sending the local boy to the canvas.

Dempsey Thinking
 Of Business Career

Los Angeles, Jan. 13-Forced to remain out of the ring because he has no available opponents, Jack Demp- sey has practically given up ring plans for the future and is consider ing business career, according to Senator "Bill'' Lyons, one of tie heavyweight champions closest friends, in a statement here
 Dempsey is doing well in vaude- viHe," said Lyons, '.and from reports I have received is making pretty fair money. Jack is eager for an oppon- ent to loom into view, but there seems to be no prospect of this in the i'm mediate future, so he has practically given up hope of an early fight"
 Dempsey is planning to buy a home for his mother in Southern California. according to Lyons, but it is unsettled whether he will enter business in Los Angeles or New York if he decides to cut loose from the fighting game for awhile.

within the foul lane shall be thrown up by the referee at the Is foot foul line instead of the spot where the ball is held. In an effort to give the spectators behind the baskets a bet ter view of the game Ralph Morgan of Pennsylvania asked for backboards with the upper two feet composed of transparent glass. Objections were made by Cornell and Princeton repre- sentatiYes that this would give Penn the advantage so the matter was left to the rules committee when stand : ardizati6n would be dealt with.
 Other suggestions acted upon were that urn nDires take a more active part as an official and cooperate with the referee to a greater e-zs ent; that off cialS wear a white uniform and that running with the ball be more se- verely penalized. The rule on time out reverts to last years agreement The referee can now declare time-out at any time. when heretofore he could do so only when the team requiring such action held the ball
