FIGHT VERDICT
BROUGHT BEFORE
NEW YORK BOARD

NEW YORK, June 10. U.P)-
Max Schmeling today was recog-
nized by the New York state ath-
letic commission as worlds heavy
weight boxing champion.
NEW YORK, June 10. Up)-The
New York State athletic commission
met today to consider the fiasco
which resulted from the waving of
its regulation concerning fouls in the
Schmeiing Sharkey championship
bout.
Ostensibly the board is meeting to
consider Max Schmeling' s foul vie
tory and to rule on awarding him
the title, but the principal business
is expected to be an attempt to force
re-match under Madison Square
Garden promotion in September.
William Muldoon, sponsor of the
recent elimination series, has gone
on record as favoring another meet
ing between Sharkey and Schmeling.
James A. Farley, chairman of the
board, intimated that he considered
Schmeling entitled to the champion
ship. General John j. Phelan, third
member of the commission, support
ed Farley's view.
Jack Sharkey attended the meet
ing to request that the commission
refuse Schmeling the championship
unless Max agrees to an early return
bout. Sharkey based his plea on
the contention that New York rules
call for a majority decision by the
three officials on fouls. In the
Sharkey -Schmeling bout, both Refe-
rec Crowley and Judge Matthison
said they did not see the foul blow,
and the decision was given on the
Judgment of Judge Barnes.

PROOF OF DEATH

United Press Staff Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 90. W.H
Still doubling that the body of
man, found bound with bailing
wire and floating on the Sangamon
river near here is that of Dominic
Tarro, alleged bootlegger of Benld,
federal authorities have adopted Il
policy of watchful waiting confident
from past experiences that Tarro
will show up eventually.
Tarro, indicted as the alleged
agent for "big business in the dis
tribution of yeast and corn syrup
among Benld bootleggers, was ar
rested on charge of conspiracy to
violate the national prohibition law
in January. He is claimed to have
handled the distribution of products
Of two companies and his books were
expected to aid the government in
the trial of the two concerns and
nearly two score individuals, all in
dicted on charges of conspiring to
violate the dry law.
Soon after his arrest, Tarro was
freed on bonds aggregating $30,500
and disappeared. Last, month de-
composed body was found floating
in the river. An inquest was held
and a coroner's jury decided the
body was that of Dominic Tarro
after friends and relatives identi-
fled it as such. The relatives say
he was Kidnapped by enemies and
thrown into the river alive.
The government refusal to ac-
cept the Identification was disclosed
when it refused to agree to a motion
TO set aside a court order forfeiting
Tarro's bond of $30,500.

trial of Otto Sanhuber, charged with
the murder of Fred Oesterreich here
eight years ago, asked 100000
damages from Earl Wakeman, at
torney for Sanhuber, in suit on

and two John Does with slander
during the murder trial, because
they had referred to him as the

Oesterreich, widow of the slain
man.
klumb alleged that Wakeman, in
defending Sanhuber, attempted to

WORKERS URGE
FILIPINO BARRIER

Boston, Immediate and favorable
action by congress on a bill that
would bar Filipinos was called for
by the A. F. of L. convention.
A bill to this effect, introduced by
Congressman Welch, of California, is
pending in congress, and has been
approved by the two last conven-
tions. The resolution was signed by
a score of Pacific coast delegates.
"The Filipino" the resolution
stated, "is racially unassimilable and
will, therefore, add to the race prob
lem that is vexing this country. There
has already developed a condition of
social concern eliminating in tragical
race riots due to desires of Filipinos
to transgress upon the sanctity of our
women in their forced efforts to
assimilate."
Ship owners, in their desire to sell
transportation, are using every kind
of propaganda to lure Filipinos to
this country, the resolution states.
Unscrupulous employers are de-
stroying living standards with this
cheap labor, that is also affecting the
health of West coast citizens.

T Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.
We live and learn.

We live and learn.
Now comes John w. Barton, who
is vice president of bank in Mime
apolis, saying to bankers conven-
| tion in Cleveland that our standards
of living are too high.
All along we had thought they were
not high enough.
But Mr. Barton is vice president of
bank and he ought to know.
Yes, he ought to know better!
To be sure, nobody has ever yet
settled the question of how much a
bank vice president ought to know
Some bank vice presidents are very
important persons; some are little
more than glorified clerks and mes
sengers.
When bank lets vice president
loose on the country it ought to send
him certificate of intelligence and
capacity
Vice President Barton says our
standards of living are too high
That is meaningless, until we find
out what he means by "our" and Gus"
and eve"
If he means the standards of living
Of bank vice presidents, we can leave
it to the other vice presidents to tell
him where he gets off
Lots of them could stand a raise
and still not get overly fat.
Some get altogether too much by
any standards.
John w. Barton doesn't say whose
standards are too high Surely he
can't mean the standard of living-"en
joyed" by the more than 10000 men,
women and children in North Caro-
lima who have pellagra because they
can't get enough to eat.
Surely John W. Barton can't mean
that the 5,000,000-or whatever num-
Der there are-of unemployed are
living too high!
Surely this bank vice president
can't mean that the members of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union who have been striking in
New York against intolerable condi-
tions are living too high.
Surely he can't mean that the en-
ployes of the Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany, many of whom get less than
SO week, are living too high.
Surely he can't mean that the boot
and shoe workers of Massachusetts
are living too high-when they have
a job at all.
And he can't mean that the women
who run the machinery that makes
Owl cigars in Newark N j., are
living too high. Why, not long ago
they had to strike because they
couldn't stand the pressure any
longer.
Surely John w. Barton can't mean
the great army of men and women
who never earn over $50 a week are
living too high.
Well, who can he possibly mean?
Mr. Barton says we are trying to
hold our standards up in the face of
pressure from Europe, where stand
ards are lower. Quite true; we are.
He thinks that is wrong.
Well, all right.
Where would Mr.. Barton start re-
ducing or lowering standards ?"
If he starts with himself-and
stops there-he can go as far as he
likes.
If he thinks he can speak for any
body else, particularly for the wage
earners, none of whom is paid
enough, he is talking through his hat
and he can go chase himself around
the block
