BUCK PASSED BACK
Boxing Promoters Say They
Will Welcome Test
of Issue.

City officials who this morning
boldly declared they would enforce
the city boxing ordinance fee and
taxation provisions against the
American Legion at the Armory or
stop the scheduled bouts tonight
sheathed their claws this afternoon.
The Legion will not be molestad
tonight, but after the new boxing
ordinance, now pending in council,
is passed the city will attempt to
collect the $40 license and 5 per
cent gate receipt tax just as it does
from ordinary. promoters, Council
man Robert E. Springsteen, present
boxing commission chairman, said.
Earlier in the day the Office of
City Controller Sterling r. Holt had
announced that it would attempt
to collect the fee and tax tonight,
and that if the Legion did not take
out a permit the bout would be
stopped.
Meanwhile, Holt laid the matter
before the board of safety, upon the
theory that it was charged with en-
forcing laws.
Buck Passed Back
Board President Fred w. Connen
pushed the buck right along to the
boxing commission, which he said
has complete authority"
CYOriy1 octapY1 ryIan had haawa YaS
to believe earlier in the week that
the other agencies would collect or
stop the bouts, said:
They have passed the buck back
to me. The legal department adj
vised me some time ago that there
are flaws in the present ordinance.
There is no use trying to- make a
test case under the present regula-
tons. We are going to test the mat
ter In the courts as soon as the
new ordinance is in force"
Welcome Test Case
Meanwhile the Legion officials an
nounced they would not take out A
permit, on the ground the ordinance
is invalid. The Legion will welcome
a test case, it was indicated. Pro-
ceeds of the bouts which the Legion
has sponsored two seasons have
wiped out an $1,000 indebtedness
and started a fund for entertain
ment of national Legion conven-
ton here in few years.
An ordinance creating a new COM
mission to replace the council COM
mtitee was introduced Monday night
by Springsteen. The new measure
will provide a commission of four,
three being citizens and the fourth
the president of the safety board.
License fee Of $40 and per cent
tax on gross receipts also is pro-
vided in the revised law.
The new ordinance provides that
the commission members shall not
be city officials and shall receive no
salary.
Mayor Slack suggested an amend
ment providing that the safety
board approve the regulations
adopted by the commission.
Otis E. Bartholomew, former
council president, today informed
Mayor Slack that the Convention
City Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
is contemplating boxing matches in
competition with the Legion.
Bartholomew said the Veterans are
interested in seeing that IAN impair

EMPORIA, Kansas, Oct. 2.-Wil-
liam Allen White, Emporia editor,
today charged the cocktail holsters
Of Tammany Hall" with preparing
the speeches of Senator Joseph T.
Robinson, Democratic candidate for
vice president.
Whites statement was in keeping
with his promise to have something
interesting to say"
Senator Robinson was quoted by
White as saying that White had &C
cused Governor Alfred E. Smith Of
being in sympathy with immortality
and vice.
II do not believe White said,
that Senator Robinson would issue
deliberate, malicious and obvious
lie. He is a square man. But I do
believe that the cocktail holsters of
Tammany Hall, who are preparing
his speeches for him, have placed
him in a most embarrassing posi-
ton, have never said what he
charged me with"
Mind is Poisoned"
White had reference to portions OF
Senator Robinson's speech delivered
at Wichita last night.
Let Senator Robinson produce a
single nti-Tammany vote of young
r. Al Smith on the saloon.
'Tammany stood for the liquor
interests when Smith was in the as
Sembly and SO poisoned his mind
that honest as he was and is, cou-
rageouS and smart, he thought those
votes were right, and considering his
political background and his politi-
cal salvation they were right.
"I have no criticism and never
had, of Smith as man, but as a
voice of Tammany, as a Tammany
leader in the Legislature and as a
Tammany candidate for President
his Tammany record stands as an
evidence of the Tammany faint in
his mind. Joe Robinson knows
this"
White thanked Robinson for re-
ferring to magazine articles, writ
ten by White, in which Governor
Smith was praised. and then ex-
pressed his admiration for Smith as
man.
81 have the highest regard and
shall always testify as to his
(Smith's) good qualities. And if
for his sins of consorting with Tam

wrecked the Democratic party SO

ing Governor Smith, Joe Robinson.
will be better and nobler man.
Admires All as Man
81 have printed Smiths record on
the saloon, page by page, paragraph
by paragraph, carefully protecting
Governor Smith personally from any
faint upon his character, declaring
always my faith in him as a man.
''What I said was that his record
was a Tammany record, that he
voted in the legislature invariably
with the pug-uglies of Tammany
whenever the saloon and its interests
or associates were touched"
The Elnporia editor, continuing
his attack on Tammy, said that or
ganization is like the Ku-Klux Klar
in robbing a man of his individuality
and deadening his conscience"
The records showing the long
string of Tammany votes which
young AL Smith cast in the assembly
prove that no Klansmen was ever
more suhservient to the crack of the
kleagles whip than Al Smith in the
assembly for the saloon and it's in.

Cleaning Up Chicago Courts

The relations between crime and the courts is being
subjected to q rigid examination in Chicago as a result
Of the recent complaint lodged by the Chicago cririe
commission against three judges If the criminal court.
Complaints against the conduct Of courts, which have
heretofore been only talked, are now beirg brought Of
ficislly into the open for critical scrutiny.
"Paltering with criminals is the charge lodged
against the three judges by the crime commission.
which asked the removal Of the trio from the handling
Of criminal cases and their transfer 10 the civil bench.
According TO the evidence submitted the three Judges
granted felony waivers 10 the number or 364 in the last
quarter or 1927. as compared with 19s granted BY the
nine other judges Of the criminal court. The first
quarter OF 1928 shows 364 waivers granted and EOS By
the nine other judges.
The crime commission charges that the large scale
leniency was inspired by political considerations, and
representatives Of the commission stated the commig-
sion's decision to publicly indict the three judges was
not made hastily but was thoroughly discussed and
"authoriEed BY about twenty Of the leading men Of
the city"
The effort Of Chicago to divorce the courts from
politics and crime j. being watched with great interes:
in all parts Of the nation. The crime commission an
psrently has struck al the root Of the criminal record
Of the city, and a cleanup Of the courts will have 4

UPLIFTING THE SOUTH

AN%NN"h
An unnamed correspondent, probably a colored gen
tleman. sends The Bulletin some Illuminating infor-
nation from Washington. II seems that certain per-
sons Of the north and west are much concerned about
the slow degree Of civilization with which the south
is cursed" and are planning an extensive upIft move
ment by training negro citizens in northern universities
and sending them as missionaries to degenerate the
white man Of the south" IL IL mot agreed says
the anonymous correspondent, whether the low de-
gree Of civilization in the south is because Of deren-
GRAFTON or because a higher degree OF culture than
that obtaining in the seventeenth century was never
acquired by southern people" The southern white
man seems to have come down to the level Of the ne
gro, and 1T therefore seems that the only way or re-
generating the white man Of the south is through his
negro brother and associate"
Whether the letter is designed as campaign props-
ganda for Herbert Hoover is not clear, hut the fol-
lowing paragraph at least suggests that purpose:
eve OF the north and west, are doing our best 70
help this good cause along by educating the southern
darkey in our colleges and sending him back for mis-
sionary duty. Our statesmen are also doing their best
with that end in view. Hoover. for instance, has pulled
down the bars Of segregation in his department OF the
government, thereby allowing greater contact between
whites and blacks and giving the negro the better op-
portunity to absorb the white mans civilization OF the
fortunate white neighbor Of the south"
OF course. the whole thing is So ridiculous that no.
body will pay any attention to the "uphft' suggestions
contained in this remarkable communication, and IL
is mentioned here solely because il is about the worst
possible expression Of prejudice against the south tina.
