CRITICIzES HARRIS BILL.
Mexican Newspaper Says Labor
Smuggling Will Continue.

SmuggIing VIII Continue.
MEXICO CITY, December 10 R.-
The newspaper Ell Universal yesterday
said that the Harris bill for limiting
Mexican emigration to the United
States, even if made into law, would
not prevent the inflow of Mexicans.
The newspaper thought that it would
be as impossible to prevent smuggling
laborers over the boundary line as it
has been to enforce the dry law. The
article added that Mexican laborers had
contributed to the prosperity of the
United States and hence the Harris bill
was an unjust measure.

BLUE LAW" BILL
HELD UNCHR|ST|AN
Landlord Measure for Dis
trict Usurps Personal Rights,
Rev. H. M. Lawson Says.

Terming the proposed blue law"
bill introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives as "unchristian," Rev. II.
NJ. Lawson, former pastor of the
Maryland Avenue Baptist Church and
now editor of Baptist magazine, said
| that such law would usurp the per.
sonal rights given to the citizens OF
| the United States, at meeting or the
w shington Citizens Committee OPP
posed to Blue Laws, held last night
at the Carlton Hotel.
The Constitution of the United
States divides the church and the
state as two distinct institutions, the
pastor stated, and he added that the
hackers of the blue laws" are ming
ling religion and state in order to &C.
complish their purpose. Foundation
for their argument, he said. originated
through a decision handed down by
the Supreme Court in 1892. in which
the church and the state were Joined.
However, this does not follow the pur-
pose of the law of the land. and there
fore should not he carried out.
e, reason for pointing to this fact
was that he named the pulpit as the
main hacker of this idea. In order to
gain larger church attendance the
ministers have effected this means of
promotion, he stated. According to
Rev. Mr.. Lawson. the churches will
be the losers IL such law is passed.
and the children will be chased from
the churches, as they have been in
Colorado and Tennessee"
Organization of the citizens of
Washington to combat the laws was
stressed by DIR. Joseph A. Themper.
president of the National Association
Opposed to Blue Laws. Opponents of
the laws are probably in the large
majority in this city. he said, but in
order that Congress will not pass the
bill a united front" must be had
here. He mged that every citizen
sign protest and join actively in the
movement to ask the rejection by
Congress of the Landlord bill.
Others who spoke at the meeting
were Judge L. II. Keenan, of West
Virginia, who assured his support in
the fight against tho measure, and
Phillip W. Austin, who alleged the bill
is intolerant.
A resolution was adopted request |
ing the District Commissioners to re.
woke the order closing night clubs |
and other entertainment after IL |
o'clock on Saturday nights, and an
amendment was added TO the effect |
that IL the Commissioners should deem |
it advisable to reject the request that |
it be held for a public hearing.

John Risko
to Oppose
Big Italian
Cleveland Baker Boy
Tackles Roberto Roberti
at Brooklyn Tonight.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff COrrespondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-Rubbery
Johnny Risko, who has whipped
Paolino Uzcudun, Jack Sharkey and
George Godfrey, will risk his heavy
weight prestige in a ten-round bout
tonight at Ebbets field, Brooklyn,
against Roberto Roberti, the Italian
giant.
Little more than a novice a year
ago, Roberti has developed into
dangerous contender and is in
position to catapult himself to the
top of the title claimants.
No man has beaten Risko since
Tom Heeney won a close decision
at Detroit last fall. Since that de-
feat Risko has defeated Sharkey
and Godfrey, two of the outstand-
ing contenders. Risko is the only
prominent heavyweight who has
fought both Tunney and Heeney,
the champion and challenger in
the last title bout. Risko fought
Tunney in the last bout before Gene
won the title.
In Tunney's own words RiSko can
throw more gloves from more di-
rections than any other fighter in
the ring" Risko rushed Tunney of
his feet in the first round OF their
bout, and Tunney only won the de-
cision after changing his style by
stepping inside Riskos punches in
stead of backing away.
