NEW YORK, Feb. "a P9-Keen as

by comparison with the assurance
Of his opponent, Jack Sharkey, in
the much discussed 15-round heavy
weight elimination test at Madison
Square Garden next Thursday.
Sharkey's spirit of confidence an1

defeat of Harry Wills last fall. A
similar frame OF mind now con-

Looks like I'm to be the lucky

Jack volunteered TO-DAY by way of
saluting Tex Rickard and gather

"McTigue won't last the Is rounds

HOLD
FIERY DEBATE
ON SLUSH FUND

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a P-Fiery
tilts between the senate's election in
vestigator, Reed, of Missouri, and one
of it's youthful members, Robinson. Of
Indiana, accompanied debate today on
the proposal to extend the life of the
campaign funds committee, The In
diana republican accused the Missouri
democrat of edsiring to. play politics
with the committee with an eye single
to the pathway to the White House in
1928, adding that with the committee
functioning he would need no cam
paign fund and get plenty of publicity
as he moved along.
The Missourian countered with q
declaration that Robinson had in
dulged in "cowardly insinuations" and
had given utterance to statements
which were absolutely and unquali-
fiedly false"
Robinson asserted that in investigat-
ing the Indiana political situation last
fall three weeks before election Reed
had ridden into indianapolis sitting
which had degenerated into a garbage
wagon"
Reed replied that if there was any
garbage in the wagon it had been sup
piled by republicans prominent in con-
Quoting Robinson's campaign for cleo
tion to the senate and the he would
dump the garbage into the front yard
of the senator from Indiana, who will
recognize familiar odor."
Frequent references to- the Mis-
sourian by the Indianian as venerable"
son, of Arkansas, into the debate with
an inquiry as to just what the "juve-
nile Indiana senator. meant to con-
vey.
why call him juvenile?" broke in
Bruce a Maryland democrat. why
not call him ca1low and puerile?"
moment later in characterizing a
statement by his antagonist as "un-
qualifiedly untrue" Reed added that
in replying Robinson need not have
any regard for the fact that / am
venerable"
Before the debate ended, Robinson
brought in the now celebrated letter
President Wilson wrote about Reed in
1922 in an effort to read him out of the
democratic party, and the Missourian
replied that it contained only the
charges of sick man."
Reed at one juncture told the In
dianian that ifahe insisted on making
"veiled insinuations" he would bring
to the floor "the loathsome ku klux
l1lan," the political activities of which
held most of the attention of the cam
paign funds committee during the In
diana, ADMINISTRATION.
Crowds that filled the galleries
leaned forward expectantly as the sem
ators fired back and forth at each
other Reed frequently walked in to
the political dividing aisle to point a
finger, at Robinson and the Indiana
senator emphasized his statements with
fist pounding into palm but remained
at his place far over on the republican
side.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, repub-
Iican leader, broke in at the tensest
moment in an effort to pour oil on the
troubled waters, explaining that Sem
ator Reed had visited Indianapolis at
his request to permit him to reply to
charges that he was a l<lansman.
While admonishing his younger col
league to forget the heat of campaigns,
he did extol Robinson's record as a
soldier and legislator. AT the same
time he paid tribute to Reed, whom he
called a friend of 80 years standing
and who, he added, had always treated
him with. the, UTMOST. fairness.
