The second mail brought the total to 2,000, many tinted and in feminine hand, iavit- ing him to dinner and applying for job as social secretary. There were three offering marriage Oth- CTS begged for money, some offered tips on the racing, and financial in- vestments. Jack opened most of the letters himself, laughing heartily, but refused to let others see them. Private stuff" he said.
 The champion passed the whole afternoon writing letters home. He wrote his mother that he had seen the king.
 Speaking of the sights at Epsom Wednesday, Jack said:
 ''lt was one of the biggest days of my whole life. When a young ster I used to dream Of some day. seeing the king. Imagine how rood I felt yesterday when ! saw Nie whole royal family"
 Jack attended a dinner last night at the Piccadilly restaurant given by Major Wilson, famous boxing promoter. Georges Carpentier. who is to fight Ted Lewis here neYt month, also was q guest. It was the first meeting of Dempsey and Carpenter since they fought in the Jersey ring. The champion hears that Paris wants to see the conquer or of their idol and he expects to go there Saturday. Jack says he wants to go by the air route, much to Trainer Teddy Hays horror.

Matthew Hale Urges Modi- ffcation to Safeguard Interests of Smaller Ports.

Washington April Modifica- ion of the administration merchant marine bill so that it would spocifi- oally safeguard the interests of the smaller ports and shipping com panies was advocated at yesterdays session of the joint congressional hearings on the measure by Mat thew Hale of Greenyille, s. c. pres ident of the South Atlantic States Association.
 Insisting upon the adoption or an amendment which would require the perpetuation for five years, by eith- CT the shipping board or private companies, of trade routes recently established from South Atlantic and gulf ports, Mr Hale declared un- less such a provision was added to 1be bill business men of the south and shippers in the middle west who export their products through southorn ports in preference to a flew c0ngested" North Atlantic norts. would swing away from "con- IditionaI" support of the adminlstra- tion programme to a position oi reflective opposition"
 Another witness before the Sen ate commerce and House merchant marine committees yesterday was Theodore Brent, manager of tho Mississippi i-Warrior Barge Line whf urged Congress to clear up the con flict in authority" between the In terstato Commerce Commission ant fhe shipping board over inland waterway transportation. Mir. Bren' said companies operating barge ant boat lines on interior water routes would rather be under the jurisdlc ton of the shipping board than sup feet to Interstate Commerce Commls sion control
 "Dont leave us in the dark al to where we stand" the witnes declared, adding that danger o joint supervision was that in obey ing the regulations of one line is ap parent to disregard the orders of tn other body.
 Mir. Brent suggested the addition of classifying" amendments to tn subsidy bill to do away with tn clash between the two regulator bodies over proportional rates of in land water lines.

 MILLION FOR
 FIGHTING FLOOD
Congress Pushes Measure and Harding Signs It--- Fund Is Available Imme- diately.

Washington, April 22.--The sun iof $1,000,000 was made available by the federal government yesterday for control of flood waters of the Mississippi river, now at the highest stages in years. A measure making provision for the sum was rushed through the Senate and House with | in an hour after the proposal, made Inv southern members, had been ap- proyed by Secretary Weeks and Di- Ircctor Dawes of the budget. The measure was then signed by presi- dent Harding.
 The money made available is a part of nearly $7,000,0 ,000 which the pending army appropriation bill carries to be used by the Mississippi River Commission for flood control purposes.
 The measure was adopted prompt ly in the House and there was just about a minute of debate on it in the Senate. Senator Ransdell, Dem ocrat, Louisiana, one ef it's sponsors, told the Senate it would avert q great disaster and save more than was expended"
 In presenting the resolution Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions committee explained that near iy $7,000,000 was carried in the pending army bill to be handled by the Mississippi River Commission, This fund would not be available nn- til after July l, but MT. Madden declared an emergency existed and that without immediate help there was danger of tremendous loss of life and property damage.
 Secretary Weeks, in a letter to Congress urging the immediate con sideration of the relief resolution said the flood stage was extreme and that the water was higner at places than ever known before. thai along stretches of 20 miles it was above the levees.
 The loss of life. should the levees be unable to stand the strain much longer and break, would be meal culable and would result in a great national disaster Secretary Weeks said.
 No Drain on Treasury.
 Chairman Madden said the resolu- tion made no drain upon the fed eral treasury, as it merely author ized the use at this time of part of the appropriation soon to be avail able, and would be deducted later from the bills total. Good head way has been made, he declared, in constructing levees so as to prevent frequent flood disasters. Without the work already accomplished, the waters now, he said, would be rag ing through the valley causing great loss of life.
