Princeton Is Favored Over
Ithacans and Yale in Big
Race at Derby.
BY DANIEL.

This will be by far the biggest day
in the history of Intercollegiate row.
ing. In three regattas-to be rowed
on the Housatonic at Derby, on the
Harlem and the Severn at Annapolis
every one of the nine Eastern institu-
tions which support the water sport
will be represented. In addition there
will be prelude to the Derby regatta
"a little competition on New Haven
harbor, into which graduates of Yale
and Princeton and a New York Ath
letic Club eight will be drawn. Turn
back the pages of dusty rowing tones,
examine more recent annals. and you
will find no day the like Of this.
There Is intense interest in the big
regatta at Derby, which will bring out
the varsity and freshman crews of Cor
nell for the first time this year against
those of Princeton and Yale. In addi-
ton, there will be a race between the
150 pound cights Of Harvard and Yale
and still another feature, j. contest be-
tween the champion class crews of the
Ellis and the Crimson Contrary to ex-
pectat1on there Will be no race for junior
varsities. as neither Princeton nor Cor
nell brought crew Of that class.
Yale. already beaten by Pennsylvania
and Columbia. Is not regarded as a con-
tender in the varsity race. 1t may be
that the Ellis will spring surprise, but
we doubt 1t very much. They have been
scrambled time and again and besides
they haven't the stroke and general
style to cope with the Tigers or the Ith-
acans over a two mile course. Yale will
do very we'll. indeed, If it finishes a
close third.
Tiger Varsity Looks Good.
Princeton's varsity goes into the race
the favorite. The Orange crew made a
splendid showing last Saturday on Lake
Carnegie when 1t beat off a determined
and powerful Columbia eight and won
by margin Of five feet. Still. 1t must
be remembered that the Housatonic Is
not Lake Carnegie.
Princeton's sculling stroke is admira-
bly, suited for its home course, with it's
dead water and shallow bottom. On the

found that their sculling style did not

Miss Leitch went off her game. for the
morning round was nip and tuck from
the start and at the finish of the first
eighteen holes Miss Leitch was one down.
The cards of both women for this round
showed the same figures-41 out and
43 In.
Thus the gallery was at fever pitch
when the afternoon play began over the
Princes course here. Miss Leitch COM
planned frequently OF the spectators
moving and talking at critical periods In
the game.
After halving the first ho,s of the
afternoon play, Miss Leitch sliced

Miss Leitchs position now seemed
hopeless. On the ninth she missed

The experts were amazed at the col
lapse of the champion. She stopped
twice while putting on the tenth green

NO MONTREAL OFFER
BY w. o. McGEEHAN.

With a monocle screwed into one
eye and his conventional yegg cap
pushed back on his head Jack Demp-
sey, heavyweight champion of the
world. stepped off the gangplank of
the Aquitania yesterday accompanied
by his manager, Jack Kearns; his
social secretary. Teddy Hayes; his
sparring partner, Joe Benjamin, and
Ave dogs. The champion and entour-
age embarked Immediately in automo-
biles for the Hotel Ansonia, where the
menagerie will occupy a floor.
Dempsey admitted that he had signed
for one match but the match is of in
terest only to the champion himself
and to one other party. In short. Mr..
Dempsey announces his impending
marriage to Miss Edith Rockwell Of
Denver Col. The engagement an
nouncement was made through the So
cial secretary, confirmed by the man
ager and authorized by the champion
himself
Through his manager Dempsey says
that he will be delighted to box Harry
Wills in Montreal, but not on Dominion
Day. 1t seems that he is contracted to
give tone to the Western stage for a
number of weeks. and after that he is
due to appear in moving pictures.
Drama First. Then Ring.
This sounds like change of mind
Before Dempsey departed for Europe to
mingle with the crowned and uncrowned
heads he was signing like another Alex
ander for gentlemen to knock for goal
He declared that he would rather fight
than eat, and decidedly that he would
rather box than act. He even went so
far as to say that he boxed better than
he acted and on the whole displayed a
feverish impatience to hear what the
melodrama writer calls the tap of the
gong.
He seemed even a trifie annoyed, or
rather his manager did, over the fact
that match practically went down the
bay to meet him. But then this may be
one of the maneuvers Of matchmaking.
Kearns may be holding out the the
atr,cal offers as an inducement for
Rickard to raise the ante for the
Montreal bout.
Evidently The roast beef of old Eng
land, the escargots OF France and what
ever they are eating In Germany now
agreed with the heavyweight champion.
He weighs an even 200 pounds. which
is about five pounds better than he
weighed when he went away. He looks
fit.
How long would 1t take you to get
ready for bout with Wills?" he was
asked.
"Oh, couple of days. / guess re-
piled Dempsey. and his looks seem to
bear out this confidence in his condition.
Jack Kearns, the manager, who had
been experimenting with both French
and German perfumes, odorized his way
into the conversation at this point.

He will return sometime In 1929. he
declares. to box with Georges Carpen-
tier. He has been offered f75.000 for
this bout, he declares and is certain
that he can make good use OF the
money as he will be a married man by
that time.
Kearns admitted that Dempsey had
planned to give return match to Bill
Brennan at Indiana City. but the poor
showing of Brennan with Tracy knocked
that right on the head and now Demp-
sey will devote the entire summer to
elevating the drama. silent and spoken.
He would like to have cracked William

but now that money Is gone.
Could II be possible that William Is
getting careful with his chin and made
the bout with Tracy look as bad MS
possible in order to step out of the
match with Dempsey? 1t Is late In life
for William to become considerate of
his chin. but one never can tell

Montreal Wins Favor.

Honest we didn't hear thing about
the proposal for a bout In Montreal.
II sounds fine. Montreal would be just
the spot for a bout of that sort and
Dempsey will certainly fight Wills there
providing the purse Is right, of course.
But 1t cannot be until September at
the earliest. Jack has theatrical and
other engagements. the nature of which
oblige me to call upon the social Sec
retary to explain"
At this point Teddy Hayes, the social
secretary, bowed formally and said:
"Mr. Dempsey announces his engage
ment to Miss Edith Rockwell Of
Denver"
So that's that 1t may be bitter
blow TO candidates for the title of Mrs.
Heavyweight Champion but they might
as well face it. 1t seems that while
he was abroad Dempsey was proposed
to at different times by French. German
and English girls. In self defense he
wishes the news of the engagement
given as much publicity as possible in
order that he will no longer be chased
by proposals of marriage. The date for
the wedding has not yet been set.
Sometime before Christmas" Dempsey
says
There was a select and selected gath
ering at the pier to meet the champion.
Among those present were Chevalier
Dan McKettrick. Jimmy Johnston, the
Boy Bandit; Wild John O'Reilly. Bull
Montana. Abe Attell and Midget Smith.

mysterious disappearance of a watch
and wallet but 1t is not believed that

Considerable interest was mani
tested Thursday afternoon when the
new ferry boat Daphne" arrived ana
docked at the Bay Sea Food Com
nanv's pier, head of Washington
street.
The vessel, formerly of Mobile,
which operated between that city ana
the Eastern Shore resorts, has just
come off the ways at Pascagoula,
Miss, where she was practically re-
built. and the stop was made here
as a compliment to Bay st. Louis,
while on its way to Pennington,
which point it reached Thursday
night. The vessel is owned by the
Russ Packet Company, an organlza-
ton recently created, the charter OF
which was duly published in the col
umns of The Sea Coast Echo, with K.
S. Boardman, r. S. Russ, A. B. Russ
and others financially interested as
the original incorporators. with cap
ital stock of $20,000.00.
In charge of the Daphne" while
here on her trip to the city-by-the-
Pearl were Captain o. S. Boardman
and Chief Engineer Joseph Board
man. In addition to the crew, there
were as guests of honor Miss Marga-
ret Boardman, Miss Gertrude Weston
and Messrs. Albert Russ and A. u.
Russ. The Echo appreciates couf-
tesies.
The Daphne" Is equipped with q
100 h. p. engine, of standard make.
She has capacity of $50 passengers
and from 18 to 20 automobiles with
safety and comfort. There is a spaei-
Gus salon and retiring rooms. Meals
will be served on board to passengers,
an innovation and comfort that will
eagerly be taken advantage of.
Daily trips to and fro will be made
between the two points, leaving the
Chef at s a. m. and Pearlington at
l 80 p. m.
This is a connecting link in the
great Spanish Trail Highway.
The incorporators of the Russ
Packet Company, all residents of
Hancock county, are to be congratu-
lated on their enterprise, and The
Echo felicitates and extends them it's
best wishes. With such men and cap
ital at the head of this enterprise it
cannot but prove success. In fact,
this quick and dependable ferry SER
vice fills a long-felt want.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE BIRD
OF SUPERVISORS ON GOOD ROADS.
State of Mississippi, County of Han
cock

State of Mississippi, County of Han
cock.
Bay st. Louis, Miss, Oct. Is, 1922.
To the Voters of Hancock County
Do you know what you will be ex-
pected to vote on at the coming No
vember elections in Hancock county?
Besides voting for the Democratic
party nominees, you will be expected
to vote on the following questions:
1. Do you want to abolish the
office of County Treasurer?
2. Do you wish the revenue agent
placed on a salary or do you want him
20 remain on the commission basis?
3. Do you want to abolish the
mortmain provision in the Constitu-
ton?
4. Lastly and most important, do
you want to place with the Highway
Commission the authority to look af-
Ter certain roads in the State?
The United States Government
gives to the. different States of the
Union annually many millions of dol
lars for public roads. To this, how
ever, there is specific provision at
tached, that the money for each State
must be handled by the State High
way Commission, with absolute con-
troll
In Mississippi, where millions of
dollars have already been appropri-
ated by the United States Govern
ment the money cannot be used; in
fact, it cannot be had-for the pres
ent at least.
This is due to the fact that a pro
vision in the State Constitution to
the effect that the Boards of Super
visors shall have control of the build
ing and maintenance of all public
roads in the different counties of the
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1922-10-14

Regardless of the outcome OF the
court action which is being under
taken by the State Revenue Agent IN
an effort to prevent the people OF
Mississippi from having an opporta-
nitv to vote at this election on the
proposition to make the ONCE salarleo
rather than compensated on Zee
basis, Stokes Robertson and his back
er. Governor Lee Russell, doubtless
realize that at best the change can be
postponed for but short time.
twenty-five years ago, in virtually
every State the majority, and IN
some cases all the county officials
were on the fee basis. Men who
could command the suffrages of their
fellows for two terms in some office,
usually that of sheriff or tax collector
for the two terms, were able to retire
with a competence.
This Of course did not relieve the
taxpayers. The specious plea that
the absence of salaries cut into the
taXIng strain upon the owner or real
or personal property was obviously
answered by the fact that, though his
direct taxation was lessened, he was
IN fact paying a larger tax direct to
the otnclal instead of to the State or
county.
The sheriff who today, in Arizona,
for instance, draws salary of $2,750
per year, is getting that from the en-
Glre tax puDllc. Before statehood,
some of them in the larger counties,
drew $4,000 per year. Tax coilec-
tors in Missouri today draw about
$4,000 on the average, the pay being
based on population. In the days of
the fee system in some of the more
populous counties, the taxpayers
handed over directly to the collector
as high as $4,000 year.
The theory of the fee system has
come to be condemned as uneconomic.
The theory of government is that the
public official is hired by the State to
perform certain duties precisely as is
a teller in a bank or an overseer on
a plantation. For that service he
should receive a fixed compensation.
as they do, and receive it DIRECT
FROM HIS EMPLOYER. For him to
collect fees from those who do busl-
ness with him as the agent of the
State or the county is precisely
analogous to the overseer of the plan
tation who receives a commission
from the merchant from whom he
buys goods for his employer, or the
factory to which he assigns the pro-
duct.
Ore does not need to have direct
reference to any official or Office, to
say that the existence of the fee sys-
TEN is calculated to procure in many
cases for customers of the State prl-
vate arrangements or rebates or con-
cessions. 1t makes of administration
a private or quasi-private negotia-
tion between the agent of govern
ment and the individual. 1t creates
a middle man, the most expensive
proposition known to modern cIvlll-
cation, between the State and the cit
izen.
The active movement which is
spreading over the State to obtain
the approval of a majority of the
voters of Mississippi to the adoption
of the initiated statute seeking to
place the office of state revenue agent
on salary basis of $4,000 the year,
in lieu of the present 20 per cent col

State. Thus, the proviso in the Con-
stitution prevents the turning over
of this money from the government
to be used in each county.
1t will then be necessary to VOTE
FOR the amendment to the Const1tu-
ton in order to change the organic
law, and allow the State Highway
Commission to spend these millions
of dollars in the counties of the State.
Hancock county has decided to
build brick highway from Bay st.
Louis to Napoleon, connecting US
with the highway to New Orleans,
and also in addition to build gravel
highway from Pearl River Line to
Bay St. Louis. The State Highway.
Commission, if the amendment is
passed, has already agreed to pay
one-half of the cost of the Brick
Highway, and one-quarter the cost of
the Gravel Highway, and has agreed
TO maintain them forever in the fu
ture at NO COST TO HNACOCK
COUNTY, these two roads.
Have you stopped to consider what
this would mean to Hancock county?
If you want these things to come
to pass, vote for the amendment,
giving these powers to the State
Highway Commissions. Mississippi
is one of the few States, if not the
only State in the Union that has been
unable to take what the government
has been trying to give them. Go
vote, and help pass this amendment,
and if it goes through, you will be
assured two of the best roads in the
State. Don't shirk your duty. Go
and vote.

Mrs. E. B. Mitchell, the heroine
of last week, who bested negro in
truder at her home, was presented
with beautiful new Colts automatic

This token was a public recognition
of the splendid courage of Mrs.
Mitchell and not only as an evidence
of the high esteem in which she is
held as citizen and the example she
has set as a defender of home and
honor, but as manifestation of good
will and endorsement of her act. 1t
was very gracious and thoughtful
and gallant as well-for the citizens
to have banded themselves together
and making this presentation possi-
Bile. Mrs. Mitchell is grateful of the
appreciation and elsewhere in the
