Washington Letter
By c.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-Bits of Washington gossip
picked up at random:
No matter how much spicy gossip and conjecture
Alice Roosevelt Longworth may stir up in Washington
by her refusal to yield to rules Of precedence, she
long has followed the policy Of never giving inter-
views"
All Of which recalls a story from an erstwhile re-
porter Of ne days when Roosevelt was President.
He long had cherished the ambition to obtain an
interview with Princess Alice" One day he persuad-
cd a friend Of the Roosevelt family to present him as
the son Of a well-known United States senator. The
better part Of an afternoon was spent in extracting
material for an excellent news story.
On the eve Of the reporters departure Alice in
nocently commended on his flair for newspaper work.
His little farce broke down completely. Rather shame
facedly he confessed his identity. Alice was surprised
and then amused.
Needless to say the story was never printed.

BUY a BOND?
There are two or three young women who cover"
the executive offices az the white house as faithfully
as any Washington newspaper correspondent. They
are representatives of bonding houses, waiting for the
list o. nominations that the President sends to the
senate.
All postmasters. collectors of customs and internal
revenue are required TO post a bond as insurance that
they will discharge their duties faithfully. The act
ul appointment depends on confirmation by the
senate, but most of those named are certain 10 be
confirmed However. before his name is placed on
the payroll the treasury department must have his
prescribed bond on file.
The bonding companies want TO know as quickly
as possible the names and addresses Of all persons
nominated for postmaster Of collector. The quickest
way is to have some one on duty waiting for them
at the white house.
SERGEANT u
The older residents Of washington. particularly. hail
the appearance of John Philip Sousa on the air. They
still remember him in the days when as a marine
sergeant he marched Up Pennsylvania avenue leading
the marines band.
II has been a long time since he turned the marine
band baton over to Fancuilli. who straightaway got
himself court martialed for refusing to play a Sousa
marchc when ordered to do 50 by a marine lieutenant.
This row prompted congress to make the leader Of the
band a commissioned officer.
Sousa was born in Washington. the son of a
Portuguese father. who was himself a member Of the
marine band.
President Hoover's fondness for angling has caused
a real estate boom in a hitherto comparatively I'M
known section near Washington.
A current magazine carries a half page advertise
ment Of an estate directly adjoining President Hoo
ver's summer play ground" The owner halls his
property as "an ideal playground for a man Of means
and a lover Of nature"
Aside from that its present low price and other
factors should greatly enhance its value within a few
years"

so days. Il don't mind holding a stock for the long

LaTOUCHE MINES KEEP CAMP BUSY; LADYSMITH OPEN Recent ReOpening of old Prober- ty Has Stimulated Activity
 Anhcorage Times

There is a lot of activity at La Touche- this winter, according to M. L. Exert, Anchorage man, who returned to the busy copper community. The reopenirTg of the Ladysmith property recent ly has added considerably to the operations in that part of Alas ka, with about 100 men employ ed between the two properties and the promise. of steady em- ployment throughout the re- mainder ofhthe year. The Lady- smith mine has been closed for a considerable time, the Beatson mine having been the only pro- ducing. property. on the island during the recent years,
 The two properties are suffi- ciently close to each other so that both can be served from one camp, which greatly simplifies details of operation and incl dental!y makes business better for the two Anchorage young men who have the hotel conces- sion. there. :. |" M. M. :"

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
BANNERS INTERESTED IN
 THE TARIFF LAWS

MT. VlctOr EltenQanl or LIle Skinner-Eddy Corporation has returned from New York to see the inauguration. His principle interest in Washington affairs these days centers in the new tariff bill. The salmon packers of Alaska are asking for a sub stantial duty on salmon to off, set the large importation of Rus sian salmon that are coming to , the United States. He says that there are enough salmon in Si- berian streams to furnish aFpack equal to that of Alaska.

 The Congress is in session to- day trying to clean up some o1 the more important bills on the Calendar. They are now engag- ed in acrimonious debate in the House over the So-called na- tional origins bill. This is a measure that will go into effect July 1st of this year but the Pres ident must issue a proclamation to that effect on or before, April 1st. The measure before the House is for the purpose of ex- tending the time for national origins act to go into force. Ev- en if it passes the House it is likely to be killed in the Senate in the closing hours of the ses- sion. The national origins act bases the immigration to this country on the census of the 1 year 1790, and permits present entrance to the United States in proportion to the nationals who were resident here soon af- ter the Revolutionary War. This of course, gives England, Ire land, Scotland and Wales very large quota and reduces the quo ta for some other nations to a negligible number. It also eff fects the German and Scandina- vian quotas materially. The fol- lowing changes in the immigra- tion quota will come about when the new law goes into effect.

NEW RING DIVISIONS
SUGGESTED BY PREHN

BY the Associated Press.
So insistent is the demand of fans
for championship matches that Paul
Prehn, president of the National Box
ing Association, has launched a move
ment to establish junior title holders in
eight divisions of the boxing industry.
Boxing has grown rapidly" said
Prehn, but the increase in attractions
has not kept pace with this growth. 1t
Is vitally necessary that more cham
pionships be created, not only from o
promoters and fans standpoint, but as
magnets to attract more ring talent"
Under Prehn's plan, which he will
submit at the annual National Boxing
Association meeting here In September,
the weights and classes in the eight d.
visions would be:
Junior nyweight. los pounds; senior NY
weight. liz pounds.
Junior bantamweisht. lis pounds; senior
bantamweight. 118 pounds.
Junior featherweight. l22 pounds; senior
Junior iisbtweight. $50 pounds; senior
lightweight. l35 pounds.
Junior welterweiEht, 14o pounds; senior
welterweiRht. lat pounds.
|. Junior middleweiRht, l54 pounds; senior
middieweight. l60 pounds.
Junior Hee-heavyweight. 16e pounds'
senior light-heavyweight, IT'S pounds.
JUNIOR heavyweight. 1888 to 100 pounds;
senior heavyweight, all over.

PAULINE WILL WIN,

Figures Spaniard's Greater

BY TOMMY LoUGHRAN.

Light Heavyweight Champion Of the World9
r think Pauline will defeat Max
Schmeling in their 15-round fight
at the Yankee Stadium in New
i York tomorrow night.
hold to this despite the fact that
the German is a favorite In the betting.
and that most of the experts are shout
ing his praise.
It isn't necessary to 60 far for my
reasons.
In the first place Pauline is much
come not through q vastly greater num-
Der of fights than Schmeling's, but
through facing much better opponents.
His rivals have been, among others.
George Godfrey, Johnny Risko, Tom
Heeney, Harry Wills, Knute Hansen
and Jack Delaney. Max has met only
one fairly good man, Johnny Risko, and
Risko wasn't as tough when he faced
Schmeling as when he took on Paul
limo.
Tougher Than German.
Again, the Spaniard is q lot tougher.
He has never been foored for the count,
while Make has been toppled FIVE
times-and by fellows who we're not
awful tough, and is q lot harder to
nit than most people think.
For third reason might point out
that Schmeling has only one effective
hand. He has great right--a sharp
shooting right with lots OF dynamite.
If it lands properly 1t will knock al
most anyone out, but can't figure any
fellow to be great fighter If he hasn't
good left. The left is the nnainstay
OF boxing. No man can call himself D
champion unless he has one.
Pa1I1ino fS M h0xQr He inst knNvNc
crowding in. He has no jab, but he has
an effective left hook and q hard right
to back 1t up. At 'inflghting he is
likely to prove the better man, for
Schmeling has shown no great ability
at this.
Schmeling is faster on his feet and
in hitting. He Is the harder puncher,
and there Is no reason to believe he
isn't game. However, don't forget that
he was trailing almost until the mo-
ment he landed that right Of his, and
Pauline viii keep crowding him just
as much as Risko did.
There is an element of chance in
landing knockout punch. Max will
have Is rounds to try, but all through
the Is rounds Pauline will be In close.
hammering away at body and chin. Un-
less Max has improved a lot at that
style Of fighting 1t is likely to prove his
DOWNFALL.
It may be that the Basque wood
chopper has been softened by the pun
ishment he has absorbed since coming
to America. II he has, then Schmeling
has great chance to win. However.

II SchmeIing Fails.

II Herr Schmeling should turn out
to be German Joe Beckett you can look
for a decided bear movement in Cauli-
flowers Common which may turn out
to be the biggest break in the cauli-
flower market The future of the in
dnstry seems to depend on Schmeline
connecting with Senior Uzcuduns chin.
Otherwise there is going to be con-
siderable difficulty in arranging for a
Battle Of the Century" for the coming
year. If this bout is a fiop, as the
boys say, there is not going to be any
great enthusiasm for a bout between
Uzcudun and Sharkey, or Cukoschay, to
decide the heavyweight championship.
That would be almost as uninspiring as
that terrible battle of what of 1t at
Miami Beach last Winter.
1t strikes me that all of the 600
millionaires Of Madison Square Gar
den win be hoping for a decided
appear to milk the COW with the
caulifiower horn, otherwise you may
sing Of the millionaires all forlorn.
The industry needs new faces, and
think that the customers are a
little weary of the face of Pauline
Uzcudun, not that 1t Is not q funny
face. as faces 60, but the game needs
novelties or something. Yes, that's
1t. The game needs something which
does not promise to materialize at
the current writing.
On the prospects one might be In
clined 10 pick Schmeling. A victory by
the German would be for the good Of
the game" as the boys say, and some-
how things seem to operate for the
good Of the game, particularly the
ing hits himself on the chin as he did
In the bout with Gypsy Daniels It will
