ROWELL'S DEFENSE
iPubIiCiSt Tells National So
ciaI Workers Conference
of Influence of Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Social
functions and sightseeing dominated to-
days program of the National Confer
ence of Social Work.
The principal social feature, the presi-
dents reception, will be held tonight
Chester H. Rowell, publicist. address,
ed the conference last night on The In
fluence of the Press on Social Rela-
tionS"
Social relations are pretty much all
our relations, and the press is what
makes them possible" said Rowell. 1T
is the press that unifies us. lie who
knows the news is wise, at least to the
extent of the mental equipment which
nature allotted to him lie who does
not know the news is incompetent for
public responsibility"
Defends Crime News.
In speaking Of the criticism that the
press increases crime by printing too
much news about it, Rowell said: For
the most part l am convinced that the
publication OF crime news neither in
CreaSeS nor decreases crime. 1t accom-
plishes no purpose except the only pur-
pose the newspaper has in printing it,
which is to print the news"
Americas accepted prosperity as re-
ported by President Hoover's committee
on economics was declared to be
myth" by Mrs. Daisy Worthington
Worcester. University of California lee
turer and San Diego high school prin-
cipal, who spoke before the conference
yesterday.
Mrs. Worcester, an authority on eco
nomicS, told the conference that this
myth If believed will lead to inevitable
catastrophe" Americas prosperity she
declared, is prosperity for only "a per
cent of the American people, and> this
percentage Gowns all the wealth of this
country
America has piled up wealth equal to
t400 600, 900 600 and an annual income OF
$89, 900 000, ,000," Mrs. Worcester continu-
ed Yet in the time this wealth has been
accumulating, public charities have in
creased their expenditures 1872 per cent.
The Nations vast income Of $4,000
600 1000. If equally distributed would
give each man, woman and child $745
a year. Instead, We find that 43 per cent
of the total income goes to capital, 10
per cent to salaries and 38 per cent to
wages"
Two Seek Presidency.
Competition is keen between two can
didateS for president of the 1890 con-
gress. These are c. M. Bookman of Gin

CPORTs


Promoter Bob Connor's boxing ex-
hibition went off in good fashion
Monday night with the exception Of
the Cline Brooks fight. 1t was a
fizzle. Absolutely a fizzIe. The boys
just would not fight. and merely
played around for the time they
we're in the ring then stepped out.
Cline claimed he broke n bone
in his hand in the first round,
and IL was his right hand too.
It's the right, that carries that
awful wallop. He slapped the
cowboy a time or two, but nothing
more than a mother would slap a
young son after he had done some
little something. And Brooks
popped Cline a time or two. but
that was about all. Brooks got
the decision but II Cline had
fought like he is capable of fight
ing. he would have COPIED Il I'm a
walk.
It's hard on a ma TO try 10 stage
q card and the boxers fail to per-
form. Bob Conner is a fair shoot
er and puts OH some nice bouts.
The other fights on Mondays card
were good ones.
The Best fight that has been
staged i'm the Valley in many
moons was the 10-round exhibit
ton between Carlos Garcia and
Sabine Apara. Some or these
promoters should try and get those
boys In the ring again and gentle
men. there won't be any trouble
getting a crowd. rt has been ru-
mored that Apara Is willing 10
take Garcia on for another. and
add five extra rounds to the form
er schedule.
II looks as though the Houston
team in the Texas league is going to
slip down to the bottom Of the first
division. At one time they were
tied with the Waco aggregation for
the lead. but they were never unable
10 dethrone the Cubs. The Sports
are continuing their awful assault
and may become a serious menace
to Pratt's boys.
Someone asked the other day
Why didn't Brownsville schedule
= game with Laredo for next fall.
They explained that Laredo was in
In the same district and II was
their understanding that each
team In district eight must play
the rest.
II Is true that every team must
play the rest. and Laredo Is in the
same conference. but Laredo has
forfeited their games 50 that means
that Brownsville has a game won
even before they start. The Laredo
coach said he didn't have enough
material at Laredo for any sort OF n
football team and he wouldn't try 10
fulfill his schedule.
