obliged to grip for his life.
A little lower down, holding on With
one hand, he took his torch from his
pocket and examined the surface Of
the cliff. Nothing apparently had
been disturbed, nor was there any sign
of any heavy body having been dashed
through the underground. Soon he
went on again. and working a little
to the left, stood for a moment upon
a green, turf-covered crag, a tiny pla-
teau covered with the refuse of sea-
gulls and a few stunted trees, from
among which a startled hawk rose
with a wild cry. He waited here un-
til the moon shone once more and he
could see the little strip of shingle be-
meath. Nowhere could he find any
trace of the thing he sought.
Finally. drenched to the skin and
utterly exhausted, he commenced once
more the upward climb. He was an
hour reaching the end OF the rope.
Then he blew the whistre and the rest
was easy. Nevertheless, when the
paling came into sight and he felt
Roberts arms under his shoulders, he
reeled over toward the seat and lay
there, his clothes caked in red mud,
the knees Of his knickerbockers cut,
blood on his hands and forehead,
breathless. Robert forced brandy
down his throat, however, and In a
moment or two he was himself again.

HUGHES RESENTS
SHOOTS LETTER
THREATENING CUBA
Senator, However, Says Ameri-
can People Will Support Him
When MiSSsive Is Read.

3D. WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
smoot has admitted his share in the
attempt to force Cuban sugar plant
ers to curtail their crops, and makes
no concealment of the fact that he
wrote a letter to Gen. Crowder on
the subject.
Senator Smoot said he would read
his letter 60 the Senate when the
subject was taken up and added he
thought the American people would
support him In his effort to adjust
tariff differences with Cuba.
At the State Department 1t was
stated that while officials knew in a
general way what was going on they
did not approve of the letter written
by Senator Smoot.
The view was expressed that the
Smoot proposal backed up by a threat
10 increase the present duty of $1.60
per hundred pounds, as provided In
the Emergency Tariff Law, to $3.50
was unfair to Cuba. AS explained by
men familiar with the Cuban situa-
ton, sugar cane produces u crop in
Cuba every year for a period of any
where from four TO twenty years.
The only way the growers could re-
duce their product to the extent pro-
posed by Senator Smoot, therefore
would be TO leave a large part of II
standing In fields. This would be q
serious economic waste and probably
Injurious to the sugar land.
Representative Garner (Rep., Tex.),
a member of tho Committee on Ways
and Means, said:
"I venture the prediction that II the
Republicans adopt American vaiua-
ton, the dissatisfaction arising from
such "a law will be so great that q
Free Trade Party will grow up in this
country and control It's Legislation

GREB AND WILSON
REMAIN SUSPENDED
Commissioner Indicates How
They Can Obtain Their
Reinstatement.
nv CHARLES f. MATHIsON.

The fact that Harry Greb and Johnny
Wilson no longer are middleweights ana
are unable to make the 16O pound limit
of the class was established py she re-
fusal of both to meet Dave Rosenberg In
a title match. Wilson now scales nearly
$50 pounds and Greb finds 1t impossible
to train down to 100 pounds and hght
with vigor. AS Rosenberg mas dlsap
peared and cannot be found by even NJ
manager Greb and Wilson are spared
the necessity of matching with him.
Both Greb and Wilson, however. are
under suspension and Chairman Muldoon
has announced to them the only means
by which they can be reinststed. Greb
has made a match with Bob Martin and
the Garden management expected TO
stage It next Friday night. only In the
event that Wilson and Greb make
match for the light heavyweight cham
pionship held by Greb VIII the Grep-
Martin contest be permitted TO take
place. When Greb and Wilson received
Chairman Muldoon's conditions FOR rein
statement each said they needed rev
bouts in advance to prepare for the title
combat. and Muldoon told them first to
make the match. after which they could
engage in two conditioning bouts each
with other boxers.
Greb and Wilson will have to regain
their standing as boxers in this State.
He also notified the Garden management
that they must postpone or cancel the
Greb-Martin affair.
Muldoon Ia not enthusiastic over Sikh
ard says he will have to defeat Nor
folk decisively in order TO make any
headway in this State.

Junior lightweight champion Is at Hot

II cannot understand" said Chairman
Muldoon, ''why Dempsey's weight should
be misrepresented. ] see frequent state
ments to the effect that he weighs 1S4
or 1856. I weighed Dempsey while he
was training for the Willard fight and
he never was in finer condition In his
life. The day put him on fhe scales
he wore sleeveless shirt. light trousers
and thin soled low shoes. His total
weight was 199M pounds, and subtract
ing the weight of his clothes left his
actual' poundage 1914 pounds 1t was
claimed that he entered the ring at 1873
pounds, which is not sustained by the
facts. His height the day ] measured
him was feet Dempsey. In poor con-
dition when he fought Brennan, was be-
low 100 pounds. but when he defeated
Carpenter he weighed $50 pounds and
the Frenchman scaled 169% pounds.
Dempsey" added the chairman, "in
the matter of clean living and COM
mondable conduct is the most creditable
heavyweight champion in the history OF
pugilisrn."
