tion with a view toward clearing up

wrestling draws better than boxing, and
as the n B. A. is essentionally an or
0anization designed to uphold ana los
fer the best interests OF professional
snorts, wrestling comes under its juris-
diction. A..
Stanley M. Isaacs, president OF the

"As YOU no doubt are aware. wrestling
is in a chaotic condition throughout
the land. There are wrestling cham
pions of every kind and description fos-
tered in every locality.
Prehn Knows the Game.
"I have appointed Paul Prehn of this
committee, not only because of his abil-
ity and experience - Prehn was the
middleweight champion of the A. E. F.
and wrestling instructor at the Univer-
sity of Illinois for number Of years
but also because he will be free agent
lnhindered by other duties or activt-
ties in the athletic world"
The purpose Of the committee is six
fold:
l. To determine how many States au-
thorize and permit the sport and to
what extent Is the sport regulated by
law.
2. To draw up set Of rules of the
game which will be standard for all
members Of the N. B. A.

SENATE D. K. SEEN
ON CENSUS BILL
Amendment to Prevent Re-
apportionment Action by
President Beaten.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Supporters of the census and reap
portionment bill held the upper hand
on an important vote in the Senate
yesterday, indicating favorable action
on the measure early next week.
BY a vote Of as to SO. the Senate
rejected an amendment by Senator
Black. Democrat. of Alabama, designed
to prevent the President from declaring
2 reapportionment of the House OF
Representatives in the event Congress
failed to do so after the census Of 1880
opposition to the bill had considered
this amendment their most effective
move.
Administration leaders were set back
by a combination of Republican indie
pendents and Democrats, however, on
a vote to put all census employees under
civil service regulations. This provision,
approved 43 to 36, is expected to be
opposed by Republican leaders in the
dispute.
George Amendment Beaten.
An amendment by Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia, limiting the
provisions of the measure to the census
of 1880 and the ensuing reapportion-
ment, was rejected by only one vote, AZ
notice that they would ask for sep
arate vote on their proposals after the
bill is ready for passage.
The measure would authorize the
director of the census to make COM
pilation of population in 1880 and
every 10 years thereafter without
further legislation. Upon the basis of
the figures thus obtained, the Presl-
dent would be required to send to Con-
gress the number of Representatives
each State would be entitled to in the
House. If Congress subsequently failed
to pass eapportionment legislation
the allotment announced by the Presi-
dent would become effective.
Controversial Issue Faced.
The civil service regulations proposal
offered by Senator Wagner. Democrat,
of New York, was opposed by Senator
johnson, Republican. Of California. in
charge of the measure, on the ground
that it would cause confusion and
delay.
The Senate is facing its most con-
troversial issue in an amendment by
lucky, to exclude aliens from persons
to be counted in making an apportion-
ment Of House members. This proposal
will be debated Monday, with indica-
lions that 1t will stir up considerable
difference of opinion.
A third amendment adopted yester-
day was that proposed by Senator
Walsh. Democrat. of Montana, provid-
ing that the reapportionment an
nounced by the President would be ef-
fective only so long as Congress failed
to act. Under the terms of the bill as
reported, the Presidents figures would
have held until another decennial
census had been taken.

area, which they believe will prove that
there were no large animals afterward

hooks were of stone and she'll Con-
siderable artistic talent was displayed
in their pottery. Krieger was able to
recover only fragments bearing realistic
animal figures.
It was in their religion, Krieger saws,
that these Indians probably displayed
their greatest intellectual advancement.
There we're gods symbolic of all the
aspects of nature. Curious representa-
tons of these gods are found nodded

The quality of their cotton hardly has
been exceeded today.
Apparently the island supported a
large population. There were large vii
lagos where now are found only hand

at the mouths of fresh-water streams.
Much Of this civilization, Krieger be-
lieves, grew up independently. There
is no evidence that there was any trade
with the highly cultured Indian COM
munities in Mexico and Central Amer
lea. The path of these people can be
traced from the mouth Of the Orinoco
but they introduced new arts after
reaching Santo Domingo. None of the
race is left today although strong traces
of Indian blood can be found in the
interior
An example of the persistence of a
culture was afforded when Krieger
found people of the Negro city of
Samara singing American hymns. In

nifty was composed of descendants OF
colored people from Baltimore and

more than century ago. When the
Haitians overran the neighboring re-
public they wished to make it a per-

complexion Of the population. So they
induced American freedmen to settle
