SUPPLIES SOLD
To HOSPITAL BY
BOARD MEMBER
Charges Made in Connection
With the Insane Asylum
Are Without Foundation,
Committee Reports.

tsptNIht tufFttIfthNNutt W hht
Santa Fe, Jan. 1.-THE special
committee appointed by Governor
Meacem to investigate conditions
at the asylum for the insane, at
East Las Vegas, has today filed its
report with the governor.
The report finds that the pa
tients in the institution are well
treated and cared for, but that the
appropriation made by the leglsla-
ture is not adequate for the proper
maintenance. This shortage of
maintenance funds has made it nee
essary for the board to borrow
money from the fund providing for
building purposes, and the loan
must be repaid to the building
fund. Funds which the institution
are on deposit in banks and draw
ing interest at per cent, which III
terest is used for maintenance.
The report finds no foundation
for the charges of the medical SUI
perintendent against the board, eX-
cept that one member is interested
in companies which have sold sup
plies to the institution. The asylum
has not suffered in any way from
this practice, with the exception Oh
one tractor which the board pur--
chased. This transaction is moi
satisfactorily explained, the report
shows,
Recommendations are made for
improvement of conditions, as to
some details. About thirty patients
are now being treated although not
belonging properly in the asylum.
However, to turn them out would
be to release so many objects of
charity on the public, and 1t is
recommended that the patients pc
kept for the present.

FORD CRITICISM
IS UNNARRANTE
WEEKS DECLARES
Gave Press an Interview
After Telling War Secre-
tary He Had No State
ment to Make, Is Claim.

Washington, Jan. 17.---Secretary
| Weeks, in a formal statement to-
day described az "unwarranted
criticism" the assertions of Henry
Ford that action on the proposal
OF the Detroit manufacturer for
purchase and lease Of the Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, nitrate and pow
er project had been unnecessarily
delayed by the war department.
Secretary Weeks statement said.
''Yes, / have noticed the COM
ments made by Mr., Ford relating
to his offer for the Muscle Shoals
plant. The facts are that after
Mr.. Ford left my office he sent
his secretary to me to say he did
not wish to make any statement
to the press, and asked that l make
whatever statement seemed neces-
sary, relating to our interview
This I did. The statement, in ef-
fect, was that / proposed to trans
nit Mr.. Ford's offer to congress.
tho only action / could take, as
even Mr.. Ford knows l cannot sell
real estate without authority of
congress and that nothing could
come of his offer, involving an ap-
preparation as it does, without ac-
tion of congress.
apparently by the time Mr.
Ford reached his hotel he had for
gotten the message he had sent
me and. IL I am correctly quoted,
INDUCED in unjust and unwarrant-
ed criticism. l regret Mr.. Ford
by this action, seems to have put
himself in the class of those who
go to the press with that kind of
sentiment rather than saying it to
the individual concerned"

NEW RULES DEAL.
4 BLOW To RING
BATTLES, CLAIM
Governor Of Michigan Has
Removed the "PunGh"
From Activities of the
Roped Arena, Say Sports.

Detroit Mich, Jan. 17.-Promul-
cation by Governor Alex j. Groes-
beck of more stringent rules gov
erning boxing bouts in Michigan is
seen by followers of the sport here
to mean the end of prize fighting,
as such. in this state for some time
at least. The governors regulation
means that only about thirty clubs
will be eligible to conduct exhibit
tions and these must be boxing
bouts from which every element of
prize fighting has been eliminated.
About half the licenses are held
by American Legion posts in vari-
Gus parts of the state and ma
iority of the remainder in the
hands of fraternal and like organi-
cations. Few are possessed by ath-
letic clubs and the r, regulations pro-
vide that these athletic clubs will
not be permitted to hold frequent
bouts for profit.
The regulations place control of
all bouts in the hands of Thomas
w. Bigger of Marshall, state box
ing commissioner. Terms of all
other members of the commission
have exisred and there will be no
new appointments, the governor
announced. AS Bigger Is directly
under the control Of Governor
Groesbeck the latter in reality will
have the final word in all matters
pertaining to the fistic game.
AS sport followers in Michigan

activities of the roped arena.
Popularity of Canadian fights
has been growing among Detroiters
recently and the latest pronounce
ment of Michigan s 'chief executive
is expected to cause an added num-
ber to turn to border towns for
fistic entertainment. Under the
Ontario system of conducting bouts
decisions are permitted. TWO judges
being named for this purpose, with
the referee holding the deciding
vote in case of q deadlock.
Ontario fights in majority of
instances are described by sports
men as faster than the Michigan
variety as the participants are
obliged under the rules to give
their best in every round or face

in this respect are being rigidly en-

tBy The Associated Press,)

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE first
step to bring about farmer repre-
sentation on the federal reserve
board was taken late today by the
senate in the passage of the Kel-
logg-Smith compromise bill in
creasing the boards appointive
membership from five to six and
providing that the agricultural in
terests shall have a spokesman
among them.
The vote was 6S to 9. Seven of
those who opposed the propositions
were republicans and two demo-
Gratis. They were:
Pomerene, Ohio and Williams
Mississippi, democrats; Brandegee,
Connecticut; Calder, New York;
Edge, New Jersey; Keyes. New
Hampshire, Mclean, Connecticut;
Moses, New Hampshire and Wads-
worth, New York, republicans.
BY the bill, which constitutes
an amendment to the federal re-
serve act, the limited designation

Of the specific provision for the
naming of two bankers to the
board, the statute. if agreed to by
the house, will direct the president,

Vides that hereafter no federal re-
serve bank may enter into con-
tract for banking homes if their

vision as to farmer representation
withdrew his amendment and
called upon his democratic col
leagues to support the substitute,
which he declared to be adequate.
While the senate was moving slow
ly toward a vote, word was re-
ccived that Mr.. Harding would OBJ
serve the intent OF the legislation
and would name the farmer mem
ber. He had previously indicated
disapproval Of the original pro-
posal and the compromise measure
