SPRESENTED
FOR HOUSE BOUTS
Two Pairs Offered for All
"0fficiaI Matches" Held
in Future.

Speaker LongWorth today was Of
fered at his desk in the House two
pairs of boxing gloves to be kept III
the Speakers office and used at all
official bouts between members under
the new proposed House regulation
on flstic encounters.
The presentation was made by
Representative George A. Welsh, Re-
publican, of Philadelphia. who had
received them for his personal pro-
lection from the members of the
Twenty fourth Ward Republican
Club. of which he is president. AL
though Mr.. Welsh won considerable
local fame as an expert boxer. his
friends wrote that they realized he
was in a dangerous position here and
were considerably worried regarding
his safety and so they sent the
gloves that he might be more ade-
quately protected. They said that
of defense in the manly art were
more necessary in Congress today
than any other requirement.
Mrs. Kahn Approves.
When Mr.. Welsh received the
gloves. he showed them to Mrs. Flor
ence Kahn, the Congreswoman from
California, who yesterday protested t.
Speaker Longworth that for the pro-
lection of members, especially women,
in the House chamber, an official ref
cree should be appointed to be present
at all sessions.
Mrs. Kahn tried on the new gloves
and. expressed her belief that they
would be adequate protection for her If
the House leaders would agree that all
members engaging in fights would be
compelled to wear these gloves or else
be prohibited from fisticuffs. AS the
gloves are unusually light Mrs. Kahn
felt that her personal safety would be
sufficiently protected with this proviso.
Mr.. Welsh then walked over to the
Democratic side Of the House and with
the gloves in his hand. told Represent
ative Blanton that he now challenged
him to bout. Apparently taken aback
and not quite appreciating the humor
of the incident Mr.. Blanton shook his
head and declined.
Smell Wants Bodyguard.

HaNGCHOW BELIEVED FALLEN.
Troops of Defense Army Retreating
Toward Shanghai.

SHANGHAI, February II Pl.-
Hangchow, regarded as the gateway
TO Shanghai, was believed tonight to
have fallen into the hands OF the
Cantonese invaders. The troops OF
Marshal Sun Chuan-fang, ruler of
the Province of kiangtu, of which
SHANGHAI is the chief city. were re-
ported evacuating Hangchow after
their defeat by the Cantonese.
Fighting was taking place In the
outskirts of Hangchow, city of $780,
600 population, as early as last night,
said a foreigner who arrived here by
train. The soldiers of Sun were fall
ing back then, demoralized, before
the Cantonese onslaught
For some time Marshal Sun has
been paying Gen. Chang Tsnng-
chang. Shantung commander. $500. 900
a month on the condition that the lat
ter would aid the Shanghai defender
when called upon.
Issued Call for Help.
Two days ago Marshal Sun issued
a call for help, and several trains have
been standing by at Marking, capital
of this (Kiangsu) province, ready to
bring Shantung troops southwark.
Gen. Chang Tsung -chang's failure
to move in this direction was regarded
as an indication that he intends TO
wait until Marshal Suns retreat be-
comes a collapse and then he will be
able to take Shanghai for himself.
Marshal Sun drove Gen. Chang from
Shanghai in 1925.
Meanwhile it was learned that the
transport Chaumont, now en- route to
China from Honolulu with 200 Ma
rines from San Diego aboard, has been
ordered to proceed directly to Shang-
hal. They are due here February "a.
This will make the number of Ameri-
can troops aboard ships here total

At present there are 81 war craft

There are six British craft, the
Hawkins, flagship of Vice Admiral
Tyrwhitt; the Carlisle. Nindictive, En-
terprise, Wyvern and Scarab. Japan
has FIVE, France four and Italy one
The Nationalists assert that their
forces entered Hangchow after the
defending army of Marshal Sun split
in three parts and retreated in Sepa
rate directions
When the southerners started their
offensive some time ago with Shang
hal as their objective. their supporters
here declared that If Hangchow fell
into their hands the largest portion OF
fheir task was over. Control of that
city. they explained, would enable the
Nationaiists TO transport by water
supplies and artillery that heretofore
have been lugged on human backs
over tortuous mountain roads and
trails.
