TUNNEY HEAVIER
BY SIX POUNDS
Heavyweight Champion Scales
at Exactly 1872 Today

Spectator. N. T.. Aug. 80 Up
Gene Tunney is fully six pounds
over his best fighting weight-and
glad of 1t.
A little over three weeks from to-
day the heavyweight champion must
meet the challenge of Jack Dempsey,
seeking to snatch back the crown
which Tunney won in the ring at
Philadelphia last fall. Only that
extra weight, Tunney believes, will
permit him to drive at top speed

weight ranks, found Gene scaling
only 1856 pounds.
The added weight, all on the up

key. 1t is the intention of this Of
fetal to have the diary printed after
his death. The Senator is so well
informed on contemporary affairs
that publication of the diary is anx-
iously awaited, but if the diarist ad-
heres to his original plan the mem
oirs will not be published for many
years, as he enjoys excellent health

While there is agitation in some
quarters for tax relief it is doubt
| full If any revenue measure can pass
at this session. 1t seems that the
tendency is to spend money for So
called pork barrel" or patronage ap-
preparation measurers. The fact that
a surplus is reported in the Treasury
gives the legislators an excuse to in
dulge in spending orgy.
The action of the Senate in con-
Quoting an inquiry in the recent
Pennsylvania elections by bringing
the ballot boxes to Washington will
involve tremendous amount of de-
tail work. 1t will require consider
able time to count and check these
ballots and this procedure will be
costly.
One of the most disturbing bits of
legislation was the extension of the
maternity law. A filibuster resulted
ir the Senate mainly due to the un-
fortunate methods pursued by organ
izations interested in the bill A
number of Senators complained of the
high-handed tactics used by the
women lobbyists who even attempted
to order Senators from their homes

the Senate floor. In other words
Etkase agitators had enthusiasm but
not good judgment.
The furry over the poisoned alco-
hol has subsidized. The Treasury De-
partment is proceeding slowly with
the denaturing of alcohol. Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon has advised
the Congress that the poisoning is
imposed by law, and that the respon-
sibility is with the legislative branch
of the government.
The leaders in Congress find them
selves in a position similar to a tru-
ant officer in an effort to keep legis-
lators in attendance at the daily ses-
sions. A number of members have
announced plans to spend Fortnight
in semi-tropical regions but usually
have changed their plans on the ap-
peal of their party leaders. The bal
ance of power depends upon the &C.
tual attendance when votes are taken
and not upon the percentage as given
on paper. 1t is not the man who
talks loudest or longest on the floor
that is responsible for enactment Of
legislation.

cannot and should not serve in view
of his conviction of crime.
The Lennon case took a dramatic,
even sensational turn, when Senator
Victor Lawson of Willmar introduced
a resolution, in which he declares
that the presence of Lennon in the
senate, with prison sentence hang
ing over his head, is disgrace to
that body, and calls upon the Mime
apolis senator to withdraw and re-
frain from participation in the pro-
ceedings of the senate until the judg
ment of conviction is set aside or
reversed" Mr.. Lawson has for thir-
ty years been prominent advocate
of prohibition and is leader of the
Farmer-Labor party. His resolution
was not put to a vote, but was re-
ferred to the elections committee.
The legislature has already passed
one bill-to appropriate money for
the members salaries and other leg
islative expense. 1t remains to be
seen how well these salaries are
earned.
Expressions by leading members of
both house and senate indicate that
Highway Commissioner Babcock's re-
quest for an Increase in the gasoline
tax from two to three cents per gal
Ion and a raise in the license tax on
motor vehicles will not be complied
with by the legislature. Neither is
there much likelihood that the legis-
lature will authorize a $20,000,000
bond issue for speeding up Babcock's
paving program.
The venerable Frank A. Day Of
Fairmont has introduced bill in the
senate providing for compulsory liza

PLUMB WINS AGAIN

The wrestling match staged in
Askov Saturday evening under au-
spices of the American Legion and in
which 1. M. Plumb of Bruno, and Con
Laastuen of Minneapolis, were the
principal contestants was won by
Plumb in 21 minutes. Laastuen SUI
stained an injury to his foot when he
rolled off the mat and struck seat
very forcibly. There had been no fall
up to this time but as Laastuen was
unable to continue Referee Carl F..
Jorgensen declared Plumb the win
ner. The match for the short period
that it had advanced was hummer,
both men displaying skill and science
and it was very even. Laastuen was
the aggressor most of the time and
had clamped a hard head scissors
on his opponent but Plumb wiggled
out of it after several minutes of
arrest.
In the preliminaries, both of which
matches were for only one fall Aage
Lunde downed Emery Nedegaard in
10 minutes and Tillman Larsen pin
ned Svend Christensen's shoulders to
the mat after minutes and 20 Sc
conds of wrestling.
The unfortunate ending of the main
bout which of course neither of the
contestants were to blame for, did not
hitch well with many of the fans and
that coupled with the non-appearance
of Laastuen at scheduled match in
December-for which he was also
blameless- likely be drawback
to wrestling in Askov for some time.

On WASHINGTON Letter
By " pDaley
foat tc'ToSsl ASSOCIATIONS SPECIAL

Washington, January 19.-Just at a
time when everyone believed that in
ternational affairs would hold the
Congressional spotlight the farm re-
lief issue has been thrown into Con-
-gress again. 1t is generally recog-
nized that the agricultural situation
is not sufficiently acute to require
special legislation at this session
Yet, the interest is sufficient in the
agrarian problems and in the election
scandals that political controversy
over these matters lessons the read
ing public's interest in Pan-American
war scares.
While the Secretary of State is
busily engaged in revealing the al
legged sinister influences fermentine
revolutions in Nicaragua, the naval
and military establishments busting
about with the air of preparedness, the
social life of the nations capital goes
on without any perceptible change
The Department of State, usually Sc
date and serene, is as active as a bird
dog in the woods. The House OF
Representatives, as whole, is not
greatly concerned over the Latin
American differences. The Senate
however, temporarily puts aside its
searching inquiry into the morals and
finar cial qualifications of it's members
to talk of diplomacy and international
frictions which generate war.
Predictions are freely made that
Congress will shortly find itself in a
legislative jam. Colonel Frank l.
Smith of Illinois, designated as sue
cessor to the late Senator Mckinley
is due here this week. 1t is gener-
ally agreed that the Senate will not
seat him in their august tribunal. 1t
is obvious that the situation will be
threshed out on the Senate floor for
several days. The argument will de-
lay consideration of important meas
ures now awaiting attention, such as
the postal rate bill, alien property
legislation and certain appropriation
bills. =
The aviation question is expected to
be up again in the consideration OF
the naval appropriation bill, and the
newspaper reading public and the Sc
lect readers of the Congressional Rec
ord may expect some interesting
views on the relative effectiveness OF
flying machines and naval vessels in
future wars. The radio bill, which
has been in conference for weeks
may be reported within few days
but action depends wholly upon the
political outlook. 1t is reported that
several Senators will offer amend
ments giving them a chance to talk
Of the activities of the power inter
ests' lobby in Washington. If hall
of the rumors that are circulating
undercover are brought to the floor
of the Senate or House, the country
will have number of sensations to
digest. 1t is a difficult matter tt
sift facts from fanciful tales in pc.
litica1 circles.

terested in the hobbies of successful
