TN HIS Lincoln day speech President
Coolidge talked Of lot of things
besides the oil scandal. In discussing
the agricultural situation he said that
because Of improved methods Of tillage
and inventions in farm machinery, the
production of farms had outrun the
power of distribution and consump-
ton; that the prices of the great food
staples was not on parity with manu-
featured products, and that the farm
er was not receiving his fair share.
The President did not discuss specific
methods to relieve the situation, but
expressed satisfaction at the way the
banks were moving to supply money
for agriculture He reiterated his OPP
position to the soldiers bonus and said
the passage of a bonus bill would post
pone tax reduction indefinitely and
jeopardize the welfare of the entire
country. "A few months of good times
would be worth more to the service
men themselves than anything they
could receive in the way of bonus"
he said.

RICHARD MUST
STOP PRACTICE
SAYS N. Y. BODY
It's Up to Him to Stop
Activities, He Asks
for Probe
By HENRY L. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-Madison
Square Garden will be closcn and
Tex Rickard will forfeit his license
as boxing promoter if he does not
find some way to stop scalping In
letter to Rickard, written before
the o O'Rourkc Expose in Alba
ny, George Brewer, new chairman
cf the commission, said that promo
ters were to be held responsible for
the distribution of their tickets.
The committee takes the stand
that the scalpers can be stopped and
that it is going to see that they
arc stopped.
The letter was written to Rick
ard after he complained last week
about activities of the spectators
outside the garden.
Rickard disclaims responsibility
for tickets that ;,rc not sold az
his box office. He maintains po-
Ice should act against the "specs "
who hold forth in the doorways Of
side streets near the garden.
Grand Jury May Probe
The commission believes that y
promoter who admits he cannot
stop the Illegal sale of tickets con-
fesses his inability to be q promo
ter and is not qualified for lie
enSe.
The charge made ,by Tom
Q 'Rourke that $135,0O0 worth ot
tickets for the Dempscy-Firpo fight
were turned over to spectators may
result in grand jury investiga-
ton. If it is not made the sub
iect for a grand jury, it is almost
certain to be considered as a part
of the campaign started some time
ago by the district attorneys s of
flee against thc";er ticket spec'-
lation.
Rickard repeated today he hoped
there would be plenty of invrsti-
cation, as it was only through such
courses that he would be able to
show that he was not responsible.
He said many of the &l5 and $50
seats, which O 'Rourke charged were
turned back after the fight. had
been offered for $5 and many of
them had been sold at that price.

TROOPS WAGE WAR
ON WOMAN BANDITS
Called Out in Central China When
Feminine Brigands Become
Serious Menace.
KIDNAP RICH YOUNG MEN
Political Turmoil Increases Hard.
ships of People.

By Radio to The Star and Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Copyright, 1924.
PEKING, June THE women of
China are showing their ability TO
enter fields of activity heretofore held
not exclusively, but at least monopo-
liZed, by men. Picked troops, ac-
cording to police reports, have been
dispatched to a district near Chu
Hsien, Honan Province, in Central
China, to disperse and suppress
female bandits who have become a
serious menace to peace and order
in that locality.
Heretofore there have been a few
notorious woman bandit leaders in
China, usually the widows of bandit
chieftains who had been killed. Now
this section have taken up this not
dishonored profession in earnest.
Treat Victims Cruelty.
They are reported to be mainly
thirty years of age. They dress in
mems clothing and are even more
cruel and heartless in their treatment
of their victim than men.
Armed with pistols and clubs, they
raided a suburb of Chu Hsien recently
and carried off a number of young
men from rich families for ransome.
Some Of these young men were
forced, under penalty of death. to
marry their female captors and be-
come bandit leaders.
The hardships of earning a bare
1tn-f IL. I<1o
alton is the cause of the growth of
this sort of banditry. A declaratio
just passed by the National Bankers
Association, in conference in Peking,
states that "the political turmoil pre-
vailing both at Peking and in the
provinces has resulted in increased
hardships for the people and fearful
abundance of bandits and outlaws.
rhe principal cause of such a sit
uation is the fact that an overwhelm-
ing amount of national revenue is
disposed of every year for military
purposes and hence the financial state
of affairs of the country is thrown
into disorder and tumult.
Commerce Is DisOrgnnixed.
Commerce and industry have been
disorganiZed and at many places de-
stroyed. and unemployment and star
walton have become common. Thus
the mass of the people are helplessly
driven to brigandage
The report comes from Kaifeng,
capital of Nonan Province, that per-
sons have been stabbed to death
few miles outside this interior me-
tropolis for the sake of silver dol
lar, so cents American money. The
Kaifeng police, in reports to the pro-
vincial governor, say the number of
vagabonds and unemployed is in
creasing steadily and is the cause of
many serious crimes. Most of the
people earn from two to four Amer
lean dollars month. To the others,
including the women. the picturesque
career of bandits is enticing.
