TIGER FLOWERS IS
 9TH BLACK CHAMP
Comparatively Few COI0red Men
 Rise to Top in Ring

New York, May h OP-The climb 10 the middleweight throne of Tiger Flowers, Georgia negro scrapper, who recently relieved Harry Greb of the crown, makes the sixth negro champion in prize ring history.
 George Dixon is the first negro champion prize ring history dis plays Twas back in the years Of 1890, 1891 and 1892 that Dixon ruled the hantamweight division.
 In 1892 Dixon stepped out to gain new laurels and was successful enough to become featherweight champion of the world holding his throne from 1892 until 1897, when Solly Smith knocked him of.
 Dixon then, is stamped as the only negro fighter to hold two cham pionships,
 Came then one memorable Joe Woicott, q person Of considerable color, who ruled tlle we,tcrWcight division from 1901 until 1904. Vol colt won the title in 1901 from Matty Matthews and lost it in 1904 to the Dixie Kid, The second gen. tleman of color to win the welter crown.
 Next We come upon Joe Cans, something of terror to ancient lightweight champions and aspir- ants Cans ruled as lightweight king of the universe from 1902, when he whipped Frankie Erne, until 1908, when he connected him- self with more grief than the law allows and Battling Nelson as well.
 John Arthur Johnson, more fa- miliarly known as Jack Johnson, was the next negro champion and the only negro heavyweight cham pion of the world. Johnson won his title in 1908. Jim Jcffrics had re- tired. Jeff turned the title over to Marvin Hart. Tommy Burns took it from Hart,
 Then Johnson took out after Burns. Burns finally agreed to the scrap and the Shreveport steve. uOIt tdpLuIFu lIle DIE Lllle, nOIQlng fl from 1908 until 1915, when the Kansas OK, Jess Willard. toppled him off at Havana.
 Now we have Mistah Tigah Flowers, the Georgia mauler, rul- ing the middleweight division, talk ing the title away from Greb after the Pittsburgh scrapper won 1t from Johnny Wilson in 1923 and kept ii up until his second session with Flowers.
 Flowers is the first negro cham pion 10 enter the middleweight di- vision, making all divisions of pugilism having al some time or other been ruled by negro, ex- cept in the tiyweight class.

VITAL FEATURE
OF THE HAUGEN
BILL APPROVED
lRr nisnatch Ap Wire !

WASHINGTON, May 14.--Cne Of the
vital sections of the Haugen farm re-
lief bill, that embodying a plan for
stabilizing prices of six basic agri-
cultural commodities, was approved
today by the house.
Efforts were maze hy a score of
members to amend the provision but
it was adopted as written by the com,
mittee. Aft4r the last amendment hac
Leen- rejected the other outstanding
section of the measure, that providing
for the levying Of an ecH alizatipn fee,
was read and the house adjourned
over the week end. Amendments to
this section will pe in order when con.
sideration of tho bill is resumed on
Tuesday.
Sharp debate was precipitated bV
the price stabiiizaticn sect on, which
provides for the disposition Of the sur
plus of the six pasic commodities. Dis
cussion of the stabilization features
occupied all of today's session, with
Representatives Tincher Kansas, and
Aswell, Louisiana, each the author of
a bill that can be offered later as
substitutes for the IIaugen measure,
contributing to the flow of charges
and counter charges.
Aswell assailed the Haugen group
for assuming" they could obtain
southern votes with money" He re-
ferred to the s75,OOO,OOO to be prcvid-
ed in the Hau2hen b:ll for advances
to cotton growers.
Tincher said a member of congress,
whom he did not name, had asked hin.
to support the Haughen measure, with
the understanding that at the next
term of congress in Dec amber, they
both would work to repeal the appro-
priation for cotton and to levy on it
tax of SIS n bale.
The house voted down, I to 94, an
amendment by Representative Con
nally, democrat, Texas, to apply to
cotton the price ma;ntenanae plan
which would be provided for other
basic crops.
"All YOU do in this BILL he said,
"is to step up to cotton and say, Good
morning, I hope you have a pleasant
time"

REGENTS PLAN
TO EST ABLISH
U. OF A.. RULES
nv Dispatch A. p. wire {

PHOENIX, May 14.--The hearing be-
ing conducted. by the University OF
Arizona board of regents in connec-
tion with charges against the univer-
sity administration will result in a
defining of the organization of the
university and what kind of an or
ganization it will operate under in
the future. This statement was given
the Associated Press this afternoon
by Cleve w. Van Dykerof Miami, sec
retary of the board.
"The former regime had a faculty
constitution in which the administra-
tive functions were vested" says the
statement. During the past few
years this particular administration
had come into conflict to some ex.
tent with the administration set up
by the state through the board OF
regents and the administrators ap-
pointed by the board.
"This created an opportunity for
friction on administrative problems.
The boards course is not yet deter
mined, but enough has been said and
done already to predict definite ac"
ton which will, we hope, iron out the
situation so that all conflict will be
removed from the administrative ma
chinery. Undoubtedly such friction
has occurred as the result of differ
ent interpretations being made by
different bodies.
"Some members of the faculty felt
that their powers were being en-
croached upon by the administrative
authority set IN by the regents and
have resisted what they felt was an
encroachment upon their rights. Both
sides to the present controversy con-
cede that a revision of the admins
trative rules not only is wise but
also is essential to a solution OF the
problem. But just how sweeping
those changes will be must be deter
mined later by the board after 1T mas
familiarized itself with the details OF
the various' administrative methods.
"The system used now is carry
over from the old administration and
came into conflict with the reorgan-
ization undertaken by the present
board three years ago. This admin
istrative conflict naturally resulted
in personal differences arising from
different authorities and the differ
ence became acrimonious and per-
sonal in aspect.
"The board has come to realiza-
tiop, however, that it is essential to
make such changes as will be con-
ducive to harmony and settle with
differences, The board has heard only

CLOUD CLEARING

ON JOB MONDAY
Miners and Printers Yet
Having Trouble, Say Lat

BALDWIN OFFERS AID
Recommends Three Million
Pound Dole to Aid Coal
Industry.
(By Dispatch A. 2. Wire)

LONDON, May 14.-Heavy clouds
which lowered over Great Britain's
Industrial world last night, cleared
today and the present prospect is that
next Monday most of the industries
which were compelled to suspend
operations because of the general
strike, viii be working again, with
the possible exception of the mines
Likewise, there is greater hopeful
ness than ever that satisfactory So
luton of the mining difficulty will
be reached before long. The OUT
standing event of the day was the
announcement of the government s
decision that, since a mutual agree
ment between the miners and mine
owners was impossible if they were
permitted to come together of their
own accord, it must act on its own
responsibility if any solution was to
be found.
Premier Baldwin therefore reduced
the recommendations of the royal coal
commission and submitted them 20
the parties with an understanding to
help the industry to the extent Of
100000 pounds, and to pass, if. pos
sible in the present session of parlla-
ment, the necessary legislation to put
the recommendations into effect. =
The general situation also improved
rapidly. An agreement was reached
between railway managers and the
railroad mems union for reinstate-
ment of the men, although the unions
had to make certain broad conces-
sions Arrangements also were made
for the resumption of work on the
tramways, the underground tubes and
the omnibuses.
Here. doubtless, there will be con-
siderable difficult details to settle
about the disposition Of volunteer
workers who aided the government
and who have, Premier Baldwils s
pledge that they will mot suffer for
their loyalty.
The only important industry still in
an unsettled state is that of the
printers.
In the meantime the government is
continuing it's emergency regulation
in full force until there is general
return to work in all industries.
