Regulating Boxing.
The National Association Seeks to
Standardize Conditions.

To THE NEW York HERALD: read
with great interest IS. A. KS" letter In
your paper. 1t must be clear to every
one that many of the problems coming
before State boxing commissions are
national in their scope and can only be
adjusted and settled definitely and au-
thoritatively by national body.
1t gives me great pleasure to inform
IS. A. K" and others interested that
the National Boxing Association was
formed eighteen months ago for the pur-
pose Of standardizing boxing rules and
supervising and regulating boxing con-
ditions in all the States where the sport
Is legalized. This association was
formed under direct instructions from
the Governors of the respective States
and now includes every State but two its
membership extending also to Canada,
Australia. England and France, with
an application for membership now be-
fore me from the Cuban National Box
Ing Commission. This association, backed
as 1t is by men having the-be inter-
ests of the game at heart, Is working
quietly and effectively to secure ma
tional recognition and legislation Of box
ing, as well as to obtain uniformity Of
rules and regulations and worldwide
cooperation of all governing bodies.
AS an example Of the purpose and
power of the association may mention
one of it's principal regulations. namely.
that a penalty or suspension imposed
on boxer, manager or promoter by
any state commission Is automatically
recognized and enforced In all other
States and countries holding member
ship. Middleweight Champion Johnny
Wilson was suspended for one year by the
Ohio commission; the National Boxing
Association upheld Wilson's suspension,
and he can box in only two States which
are not in the association. though 1t is
extremely doubtful IL either OF these
states would permit him to work while
he is still under the national ban. I
mention this as a prominent example Of
over q hundred similar cases.
The particular rule ''S. A. X" refers
to, which compes champions to defend
their titles. Is not new nor is 1t orig
inal with New York State. The rule
was adopted more than a year ago by
the National Boxing Association and
will become effective just as soon as
complete cooperation OF every State and
country Is assured. 1t Is obvious that
until such cooperation is effected any
decision of the National Boxing Asso-
citation or of the non-member States
will be Intellectual and tend only 10
confuse the mind Of tho public as to
the championship titles.
Within the last week President Wal
ter II. Liginger has appointed national
toxing championship committee COM
posed OF the chairmen Of the seven State
commissions. to take definite action on
this very question. TEX ORouRKE,
Secretary National Boxing Association.

cIo's Portrait of a Knight in Ar
NOR" now on exhibition in the mu-
scum, IT. appears that sixteenth CEN
tury warriors were no more infallible
in respect Of their attire than are
the subjects of contemporary London
portraiture.
The knight in the picture is wear
ing armor of several different periods,
according to the Metropolitan's expert.
The forearm is covered with a piece
of armor dating from 1460-70. the
collar is Of the style prevailing in
1520-30, and a knee piece is of
1520-40. Another curiosity of the
knights suit of armor is that while
most of it is Italian the collar is
German, as is the sword.
We have read of the effect badly
designed coat or waistcoat has had
on the critic of the Tailor and Cutter
when looking at contemporary
English portrait, but he has never
charged that the clothes in canvas
by SARGENT or LAvERY or ORPEN were
made in two countries and dated
over period Of at least sixty years.
After the revelations thus sketched
we fear that the knight will be
shown up as man who went about
Europe patronizing second hand ar
NOR stores. Or maybe it will be dis
closed that he simply could not resist
the lure of bargain sales Of odd
breastplates and cuisses.

TO FILL TWO PLACES
ON RESERVE BOARD
President Harding Soon to
Make Appointments.

WASHINGTON. July 2s. President
Harding Is preparing to make soon two
appointments to the Federal Reserve
Board TO nil the expiring term Of w. p.
G. Harding. governor Of the board. and
to I'LL a new place authorized by Con-
gress and urged by agricultural inter-
ests as post for a dirt farmer.
In the consideration for the latter
place three men were said to be prom
inent-Milo Campbell of Michigan. Pres
ident Howard OF the American Farm
Bureau and w. p Houston, a Missouri
farmer. Any of the three was said to
be acceptable to the agricultural con-
tingent in Congress. The President was
said to have high personal regard for
Mr.. Houston. who was considered for
Secretary 'of Agriculture. 1t was said,
when the Presidents Cabinet was being
formed.
The reappointment of Governor Har-
ding was said to be still undecided.

Mountainous Texas.
An Excursion Into Neglected Lore
of Magnificent State.
Erom me Dallas Morni,,n Mann.

From the Dallas Morning Nous.
THE New York HERALD recently
wrote an editorial in which It averred,
was the highest mountain east of the
Rockies. THE New YORK HERALD
writer of course believed what he said.
A great many people in his part of tho
country feel that way about 1t. They
haven't any prejudice about It, and they
aren't set upon ignoring the United
States that isn't east of east
Mount Mitchell Is in North Carolina
and Is a good. substantial mountain,
but that isn't particularly to the credit
of the people of North Carolina. Mount
Mitchell was there before they were, and
the North Carolinians that were born
there can't even claim that they exer-
cised either choice or judgment In their
arrival within the borders of the State.
Furthermore, Mount Mitchell isn't the
highest mountain east of the Rockies.
Richard II. Edmonds writes THE New
YORK HERALD:
II is the highest mountain east of the
Mississippi. but not the highest east of
the Rockies, for Texas claims preem-
nence In that respect with Baidy Peak,
which attains the very respectable alti-
tude of s.3s2 feet, showing an elevation
81 1871 feet higher than Mount Mitchell.
While II is manifest that Texas owes
this vindication of its altitudinosity to
Mr.. Edmonds. who Is editor of the
Manufacturers Record at Baltimore. 1t
is to be hoped that It will not be un-
gracious to mention El Captain. which
is rather steep hill near El Paso. with
stature of 5000 feet. Both Mount
Mitchell and Baidy Peak have to look
UP to El Captain.
But then neither THE NEW YORK
HERALD nor Mr.. Edmonds is to be
blamed for not remembering that. Most
Texans don't know It, either. Texas is
SO large we haven't had time TO explore
1t thoroughly as yet.

The Ocean Oil Nuisance.

Representative APPLEBY's measure
for Kidding our seashores and tidal
waters of the oil nuisance is bearing
fruit. In accordance with its provi-
sions Secretary HUGHES is preparing
10 invite maritime nations to a con-
ference on the subject.
Undoubtedly>the invitation will be
promptly accepted. Great Britain,
France, Holland and other countries
with coastal waters frequented by
oil burning steamers have suffered
from the pollution just as we here
in the United States have suffered
from it. Possibly the coast in the
vicinity of New York has suffered
more than many Of the foreign shore
lines, but all have been to a greater
or less degree afflicted. In Europe
as here oil waste has befouled
bathing beaches. injured waterfront
property. threatened fisheries with
destruction and killed migratory
water fowl.
Beyond the three mile limit
neither the United States nor any
other nation has Jurisdiction to con-
troll the matter. Masters Of vessels
nave been and still are at liberty
to dump their waste oil overheard
and to allow 1t to diffuse itself over
square miles of surface water and
so float inward to the shore line.
The only way to abate the evil is by
international agreement, and the
hppleby joint resolution. introduced
in the House on March 30, passed
by the Senate on June 21 and re-
Gently signed by the President, pro-
vides for the calling of an interna-
tional conference.
Meantime a committee represent
ing the Shipping Board and the De-
rartments of State, War, Navy, In
terror, Commerce and Agriculture
has been at work on the problem,
Necessarily some time must elapse,
even with all possible expedition on
the part Of the various Governments
addressed, before the conference can
assemble. In that interval the Wash
ington departmental committee will
nave formulated definite proposals
for international consideration.
So far as pollution of tidal waters
over which we have immediate juris.
diction is concerned we are still
awaiting the enactment of the meas
ure covering that subject which Mr.
APPLEBY introduced in the House
four months ago. When that or some
other law is in force oil pollution
CT beaches and coastal waters within
the three. mile limit win entail pen.
alties OF SUFFICIENT severity. But VIC
should not entertain extravagan,
hopes of immediate relief. Durin,
the present summer, at least, the bes,
we may count upon is the voluntary
cooperation of those having control
OF the offending shipping.

No Settlement of Dishonor.

1t was the United States Railroad
Labor Board itself which gave no
t:ce, when the striking shop unions
walked out, that the old men that
stuck to their posts and the new
men that came in to fill the vacan-
eies would become the recognized
shopcraft organizations entitled to
every right, privilege and benefit the
striking unions and striking men had
enjoyed.
The railroads confirmed this an
nouncement of the board. They
pledged themselves that should there
lie a settlement of the strike every
competent old man that stayed and
every competent new man that Joined
the force would be kept on his job.
And the railroads pledged them
selves that when these men retained
their jobs, after possible strike
settlement, they should retain all
the benefits going with the jobs, par
t,cularly their seniority rights. This
latter fact was iterated and reiter-
ated in all the newspapers and bla-
zoned over the land. There is no
shadow of doubt in the mind of any
man, whatever his interests or what
ever his station, what this pledge
said and what it meant.
For the United States Railroad
Labor Board or the railway manage
ments or anybody else to bring
about settlement of the shop unions
strike on a basis that would cost
ally of the competent men now at
work their jobs, cost any Of them
their seniority rights or cost any Of
them any other benefits belonging
to them could be nothing more and
nothing less than betrayal Of the
men who, relying on the pledges of
the board and the pledges of the rail-
way managers, stood by the board,
stood by the roads and stood by
the public. The United States Rail-
road Labor Board, in negotiating
such settlement, would have broken
faith with the loyal workers and
with the public. The railroads, in
agreeing to and accepting such terms
of settlement, would have committed
a moral wrong as abhorrent as the
legal wrong.
If, after all the pledges that have
been given and after all that has
happened in getting tens of thou
eands of men to leave other employ
ment and go to work for the rail-
roads under those pledges, the men
now on the jobs should be thrown
out or should be deprived of any
CT their rights, privileges or benefits
guaranteed to them by those pledges,
,;hen, after settlement of such dis
Eenor, there would be no reason why
union men or non-union men, why
the man who stuck to his job or the
man who quit his job. why railroad
worker or the general public should
have a shred of faith left in the
United States Railroad Labor Board
or should again trust the railroads
in anything at any time.
Let there be no strike settlement
OF dishonor!

around found a hole in the ground
which was covered with leaves
through which same calves had
broken. Upon examination, they
found it to be narrow entrance
to a cave Equipped with lights,
they went down into the hole. !,
AS they progressed they found
the entrance sloped off and the
cave became larger, there. being
large rooms, although in some
places the connecting passages
were quite narrow.
The boys remained IN the cave
several hours and found evidence
that other human beings had
known of the caves existence.
They found several. boards and
some bones, believed to be those
of a human being. They also
found bar of white sand.
Vanhoy and his friend did not
bring any of the sand to the sur
face, but it is believed that what
they took to be sand is saltpetre.
One of the large bones was
brought out and will be submitted
to doctors for classification.
The discoverers estimated that
they penetrated the mountain for
a mile in their exploration of the
cave. AS soon as possible, Mr.
Hoyt and others will make more
careful examination.
