BANTAM TITLE IS DECLARED VACANT
Charley (Phil) Rosenberg De- cisiYely Beats Bushy Graham

New York, Feb. 5 R-The ban tamweight championship of the world was vacant today, the second of the lighter f1stic classes to lose it's crown-bearer within a year through inability to make weight.
 But despite his abdication from the bantam throne, Charley Phil Rosenberg proved last night that he still is one of the greatest present day little men when he battered Bushy Graham, curley- headed title aspirant for Is gruelling rounds in Madison Square Garden.
 Rosenberg vacated his title in &C., cordance with the articles of agree ment for the match when he scaled 122 1-2 pounds. four and half over the class limit, at weighing in time yesterday. He then announced his intention of campaigning in the future among the featherwefghts, another class that lost it's champion when Louis Kid Kaplan gave up his crown last June because of difficulty in pairing down to the 126 limit.
 Graham, scaling 1171a could have gained the championship by victory in the scheduled title defense last night. But the dancing master Of Utica, almost frail beside his rugged opponent, was whipped and battered throughout. His dazzling speed and bouncing style carried him through the first four rounds with a shade the better of the going. Graham's flashy attack in that period baffled Rosenberg as the nimble challenger swooped about the ring, whipping swinging hooks to the head from all angles.
 From that point on, as Rosenberg solved the puzzling attack and found the range with his own heavy artil- lery, Graham took merciless pounding. The cleverness seeped from Graham's dancing legs and he sought to close with his heavier op- ponent, only to meet whitening fire at close range that closed his left eye completely, opened a streaming cut in the lid above, and left his face q mass of puffy welts.
 Gamely struggling back into that fire, Bnshy sought at times to flash again his weaving. bobbing attack. but the bound was gone from his style, the tired assaults only served 10 carry him into mailing hooks at the head. Although he failed to go down for a count at any time, Bushy wobbled to his corner, badly battered in the closing rounds.
 Rosenberg, gaining in strength as the fight went on, proved he had lost none of his cleverness and punching power in over a years absence from major competition. After winning the championship from Eddie Cannon balD Martin on decision in March, 1925, Rosenberg staged his last title defense here against Eddie Shea of Chicago, five months later.
 Shortly after his knockout victory in that match, Rosenberg found him. self in weight difficulties. He was indefinitely suspended by the New York boxing commission over a year ago for failure to meet Graham, picked as the logical contender. The solons reinstated him when he agreed to meet Graham and vacate his title in the event of failure to make the class weight limit.

plan that seems feasible to him. The district attorney expresses the hope that a way may be found to relieve him of his censorship duties, either by an act of legislature giving of ficial standing to the play jury or by city ordinance giving the license commissioner power to revoke a theater license on recommendation of an officially appointed citizens committee.
 "A vigorous prosecution of those responsible for the production of objectionable plays will be taken" Mir. Banton asserts. Plays accused of obscenity will be taken directly to the grand jury, eliminating "dilatory tactics which tend to advertise the play"
 There will be not more than a weeks delay between the indictment and trial" he said "I can assure the public of that" No attention will be paid to anonymous com plaints, he explained.
 Mr. Banton says he will act un- der the section of the penal law which makes 1t a misdemeanor to produce anything tending to cor rupt the morals of youth or others. ]" The penalty provided is s1,O00 fine CT three years in prison.

Henry Ford Expresses His Views
 on Capital Punishment

Detroit, Feb. R-Capital pun lshment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity IS as cure for poverty, in the opin- ion of Henry Ford. MT. Ford made this statement yesterday in ex- pressing unqualified opposition to capital punishment.
 Several capital punishment pro- posals now are before the Michi- gan state legislature.
 "The same people - ministers and editors who listened to the war propaganda of tinanciers ten years ago. teaching the doctrine Of killing. are now roofing for capi- tai punishment" MT. Ford said.
 It is wrong to kill a man - everybody agrees to that. It does no good to the man, it does no good to society Capital punishment is an fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is as a cure for poverty
 If the finances of the country
 
 be plenty of work for these boys who are committing crime. and it is my opinion that every one of them would work if there was work to do.
 But we kill or want to kill the criminal because it is the easiest way of disposing of the problem. We are taking hold Of both problems by the wrong han dle. wouldn't mind giving a man T licking, but I wouldn't want to kill him, and don't see how any, one can vote for capital punish ment unless he himself is willing 10 be the eXecutioner. l think there re mighty few citizens who would bc willing to take that job. Then why ask the state, through any citizen, to do the killing.
 'I understand that Warden T.awes of Sing Sing prison, who once was an advocate of capital punishment, has had enough of it. He is now talking against it.
 I am sure capital punlShment is not deterrent for crime. Any man who has reached the point where he will kill another does not care whether he himself gets killed. It was only ten years ago we were teaching millions of peo- pie to kill.
 If conditions in the industrial world bring man to the point where he is willing to kill to get money, you don't cure those con- ditions by killing the men.
 The thing 10 do is get at the root of the problem, and that takes IS right to the door of the finan- ciers who are chargeable for the thousands of idle men and who are at the same time deliberately trying to harden the hearts of the people in their attitude toward hu- man life
