Hoover Hires LenrOOt
AS Counsel in Battle
For rs COP ID eIegates

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, june A.
The quadrenniel side show that Al.
ways accompanies a Republican ma
tionaI convention-the settlement Of
differences between the hly-wfitea
and the black-and-tans OF the south.
ern States got under way here to-
day with the meeting Of the Repub-
lican National Committee.
Seyenty.three votes in the COM
vention are involved in this years
contests. representing fractional
quarrels in eight states and one ter
r;tory.
The candidacy OF Herbert Hoover
is involved in virtually every con-
test. and the Hoover managers were
alert and watchful as the session
got under way.
LenrOot Hoover Counsel
So militantly alert were the
Hoover people, in fact, that they
established an innovation for con-
test hearings by employing former
Senator Irvine L. Lenroot, of Wis
consin, to act as general counsel
for all Hoover contesting delegates,
irrespective of what State they rep
resented or whether they were the
contestees or the contestants.
Veterans of these quadrennial
shows could not recall an individual
candidate ever employing a general
counsel before in such a manner.
Lenroot had several legal assistants
and there were other prominent
Hoover leaders scattered about the
hearing room, including former Cow
ernor James p. Goodrich, OF Indi-
ana. and Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, Assistant Attorney General.
Crowd On Hand
The room was thronged with
Southern Republicans long before
the session got under way at
1890 a. nj.
The first business was to certify
the election of new members of the
national committee-Mrs. Viola J.
Cameron of Nebraska, Claude, Nc
Kinsey of Minnesota, Daniel r.
Pomeroy eof New Jersey, and Ewing
Emise of Indiana. There was no
opposition to any of them.
All States were found to have
their delegate certificates in order
and uncontested, save the following:
Florida, out of 10 contested:
Georgia. 3 out of Is; Kentucky. 2
out of %; Louisiana, entire delega-
ton of IL: Mississippi, entire delega-
ton of II; South Carolina. 4 out OF
II: Tennessee. out of 10; Texas.
entire delegation of 26: District Of
Columbia and Porto Rico. 2 each.
After setting time limit on argu-
ment and presentation of cases, the
committee ordered the Florida con-
testants to proceed.
The Florida contest involved nine
delegates. one. set headed by Ma
tional Committeeman George w.
Bean and uninstructed; the other by
OK. Senator L.. Y Sherman Of I'LL
nois. now resident of Florida, who
is pledged to Hoover. Beans dele
gates were understood to be xavor-
able to either Lowden or Dawes.
Thus the first contest was Hoover
against the field.

BILL IN SENATE

WASHINGTON March jFg-The
Jones DILL for Mississippi river flood
control was attacked by Senator
HaweS, democrat, Missouri, in the
senate today. He declared that only
three experts OF large number at

The Jones bill provides for a super

persons, two of whom would be civil
engineers, two from the army corps,
and have a civilian executive.
Senator Hawes also opposes division

the federal government to bear the
entire expense.
To Secretary Hoover, the senator
attributed an assertion that it was
the duty of congress TO provide
funds for the flood prevention pro-
gram

written by the army" under orders
of the chief of engineers General
Jadwin, and one repudiated by 95

peared before the house flood control

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, March l3.-The heavy
weight elimination tournament con-
ducted by Tex Rickard for the pur-
pose Of finding a logical challenger
for the champion of the world, to-
day has resulted in the elimination
Of all the contestants.
Johnny Risco of Cleveland, chuh-
by ex-baker's boy and stumbling
block of the unlimited division, out
pointed Jack Sharkcy of Boston IN
Madison Square Garden last night
but the manner of his victory was
such that everyone concerned is at
a loss to name an opponent for Gene
Tunncy, in June.
Risko, boring in throughout the -
round fight, won the judges de-
cision in a bout which might have
been awarded to either man or call
ed draw without injustice.
There were no knockdowns in last
night s affair, nor was either Shar-
key or Risko in distress at any
tune.
The Cleveland heavyweight won
the verdict by his aggressiveness,
despite Sharkey s cleaner hitting
and occasional heavier punching.
Johnny was so excited by his vie
tory that he scarcely could talk.
Sharkey was dOwncast.

Tom Ream s firemen came near

which has marked the play of the
Telephone company boys in the FL
Centro indoor baseball league in the
tussle at Wilson Field last night
but the firemen ran out of chemi-
Gals in the third inning and the
phone servers dished out some
wrong numbers. At least it was a
wrong number for the Firemen. it
being to ! with the Telephone
squad enjoying the majority. The
teams exhibited some alright base
ball in the first three innings of the
game, going into the fourth dead
locked at two all. The Telephones
then began getting the breaks to
romp home in front.
The Rinky Dinks put up a gar-
liant fight against the Shell Oil
team and but for some clever field
ing on the part of Austin, who
started two double plays at times
when the oilers were in trouble, the
game might have been ended in q
different manner. AS it was, the
oil men were on the long end of a
10 to 4 score.
