Asserts Sentiment Against
Volstead Act Will Be Felt

DRY LAWS STIR UNREST
Finds Congress Is at Lower

Ever Before.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw YoHx HslALb.
CHESTER. Pa. June 21.-Secretary of
War Weeks In an interview here to-
day made some emphatic remarks
about prohibition and Congress and
its faults.
"If were in Congress" he said, II
would vote for modification Of the
yolstead act. permitting light wines
and beer. / see In the times more
liberal Interpretation Of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
THE people eventually will have
their say and sentiment undoubtedly
will manifest itself in the next elec-
ton. I find sentiment is against the
strangling restrictions Of the Volstead
law.
"In my opinion candidates who favor
amendments to the Volstead act are
sure Of election. Regardless Of ethics
the liquor question has resulted In
widespread unrest"
Then. turning his attention to Con-
gress. he said: TN the public mind
opinion Of Congress is at a lower ebt
than 1t ever was. The Congressman IL
a delegate. not a representative Of the
people. They too often 'prss the buck
back to the people. when they should be
the spokesmen Of The people. One reason
for that Is that the people arc too little
organized and not sufficiently informed
on various questions.
II believe that we In this country
to-day. are getting away from repre-
sentative government. It takes train
ing to be a legislator. The represents
tives in Congrcss should cooperate II

II don't care for public opinion,

I would be criticized because criticized

day in Washington that Senator CappeI
wanted him to resign from his Cabinet
position.

Secretary with smile. Il can't agree

John d. Rockefeller Presents
1000, to Natural His
tory Institution.
BAKER DONATES s25O,ooo
DR.. Osborn Announces Also
$272,000 Received From
Estate of Amos F. Emo.

DR.. Henry Fairfield Osborn. presi-
dent of the board of trustees of the
American Museum Of Natural History.
announced at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee Of the board yesterday
afternoon that John D. Rockefeller,
Jr.. and George f. Baker had made
gifts to the museum Of s1,000.00o and
$250.00o. respectively. He announced
at the same time the receipt of $272,-
900 from the estate of the late Amos
F. Emo. which includes the original
gift of $25o,oo0 left by Mr.. Emo and
$4,000 interest during the time the
Emo will has been in litigation.
DR.. Osborn said that the gifts made
by both Mr. Rockefeller and Mr.. Baker
were unrestrtcted and that the money
would be put to whatever uses may be
decided upon by the museum apthorities.
The donation made by Mr.. Rockefeller
was the largest single gift ever received
by the museum. and followed an ex-
haustive study OF the educational possi-
bilities and facilities of the institution
in connection with the public schools.
The work Of the museum has. inter-
ested Mr.. Baker for many years. He
recently gave 100000 for the building
of Morgan Hall, memorial to the late
j. P. Morgan. a close friend of Mr..
Baker for many years. DR.. Osborn did
not give any idea how the income from
the gifts, or the principal. may be used,
but 1t Is not unlikely that the income
from the Rockefeller gift may be used
to extend the educational work of the
museum. The money could also be used
in connection with the expeditions that
the museum sends out from time to time.
One of the most important of recent
years is now working in the Mongol'an
desert.
The museum issued the following
statement regarding the Rockefeller
gift:
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., wrote Presi-
dent Osborn that he had long felt that
the American Museum of Natural His
tory was an important factor in the
educational and scientific life OF New
York city. and that It gave him pleas
ure to contribute $1.000.000 toward the
permanent endowment, the income OF
which was to be made available for
any Of the current needs of the museum.
Mr.. Rockefeller stated that he realized
the unwisdom of seeking to forecast the
requirements Of the distant future and
was wholly conscious OF the dangers at
tendant upon the establishment of an
endowment fund In perpetuity. and,
therefore, 1t would be agreeable to him
II In the judgment of the trustees 1t was
wise to have the whole or any portion
of the gift devoted to the corporate pur-
poses NJ the museum"

signing was in good faith. II we
didn't so believe, we would have

However, for the sake Of argu-

he didn't care to go through with
the match. and the New York
State Athletic Commission sus-
pended him, as it has suspended
Johnny Kilbane and Johnny VIII

From what would II suspend
him? What privileges has he at

Praying Soccerites
Lose But Single
Game

The praying athlete is quite
successful. Centre College
started it with that famous
"praying-crying" football team.
The stunt went big and Centre
won until the climax was
reached last fall when Harvard
was beaten.
Now comes the claim that
Lafayette has a praying team,
too. It's not a football team,
but a soccer team. The prayers
must have been answered. for
Lafayette lost but one game.
Maybe they forgot to say
their prayers the night before.
The Washington times., 1922-09-07

About the only privilege Demp-
sey has is that he is permitted to
live in New York, and that natu-
rally costs him money.
He isn't allowed to make any
matches in New York, with the
exception of the match with Wills,
a decidedly hazy affair as matters
now stand. Therefore he cannot
make any money fighting.
When he was showing at the
Hippodrome in New York, he was
continually harassed by the en-
forcement of petty rules that were
probably never intended to apply
to exhibitions.
When he gave an exhibition at
Buffalo the commission insisted
that it be a regular decision against
Jim Darcy, his sparring partner, 4
ruling that struck US as nonsensical
under the circumstances.

BIC BOUT MAY
Be SQUELCHED
BY CONDITIONS
MuIdoon's Rules and Jack
Kearns' Demands May Con-
test Matter Of Doubt.
BY DAVIS J. WALSH.

NEW YORK. Sept. What
with Jack Kearns. the New York
State Athletic Commission and a
squad of political yes" men Of
whom the instance of self preserva-
ton developed to a commendable
degree, It Is not surprising that
the Dempsey-Wills enterprise con-
tinues to avoid a rush Of promoters
to the head.
Kearns, it is said, demands the
payment of $250.000 from the pro-
moter the moment he signs for
the bout. His diea is to get some
thing out of the tangle in case
executive approval Is withdrawn
and the bout stopped.
Now for Muldoon and the COM
mission. One of the provisions laid
down by the chairman is that the
promoter must deposit s250.000
with the commission as evidence Of
good faith. In short, Kearns and
Muldoon are asking the promoter
to go 100000 ION the nut" before
he sells a ticket.
At the same time. Muldoon makes
mand that no less than 10000 seats
be placed on sale at 81, that would
bankrupt anoyne attempting to fl
nance the proposition.
The more one looks at the ad-
verse side of 1t, the more one
realizes that the bout may never
be held at all. Everyone Is in
cliped to regard the affair with
the tender solicitude one displays in
approaching a rattle snake. Every
one with the possible exception of
Wills and his manager, who have
nothing, therefore stand to lose
nothing.
When It comes to a pinch, New
York will have none OF the bout.
regardless Of all the loose talk that
has gone before.
IL II is held at all, New Jersey
will get the doubtful distinction of
playing host and Richard will be
the promoter. No other State will
care to take a chance on the thing
and no other promoter will have the
financial encouragement to swing
the proposition as 1t should be
swung.
There Is no guarantee that
Kearns and Dempsey can be lured
into the enterprise unless the II.
nancial bait is enticing and with
the present downward trend Of
boxing prices, the chnaces are very
good that even Rickard can afford
to make II worth the champions
highly valuable time.

He Has No License.

TYNDER the rules of the New

~ sion, Dempsey wouldn't even
be permitted to do business with
his manager as he sees fit if he
wanted a boxing license in that
State.
These rules prohibit a manager
from taking more than third Of a
boxers earnings. 1t is a matter of
common knowledge, for Dempsey
has said it often enough from the
speaking stage, that Kearns and
the champion do business on a
fifty-fifty basis.
This has been the basis of their
dealings since Kearns took the
management of Dempsey years
ago. 1t is said Kearns pays practi.
cally all the running expenses OF
the partnership out of his end, so
his cut isn't as big as it sounds
when he gets through.
None the less, this arrangement
would not be permitted under the
New York rules, and for that
reason Kearns has never filed his
contract here and holds no man.

Dempsey is not a child. He is a
prettv shrewd handler of his money
and his personal affairs. He is
twenty-six years old, in his right
mind, and It seems foolish for a
boxing commission to attempt to
tell him how to run his business in
that respect.
