CHICAGO, September 23.-The an
swer to Ernie Schaaf's stirring knock
out victory march through the Amer
lean heavyweight ranks may be heard
at the Chicago Stadium tonight when
he stacks his new reputation against
Gerald Ambrose ("Tuffy') Griffith in
. 10-round battle
/, Because of the Boston heavyweight's
great sweep since last Spring and Grit
fith's budding hopes to stop him, the
battle had the complexion OF one of
the best fight naturals of the year.
Chicago was so excited about the
match that $4,000 were expected to
pay $40, 900 to watch it.
Because of his seven straight knock
out victories, Schaaf ruled a slight
favorite. He outweighed Griffith by
10 pounds as an added advantage
although he faced a far shiftier target
than his recent victims.

 The inquiry at this point was held up for several minutes until a baby in the court room, which started to cry, was quieted.
 Mrs. Ceilings, half smiling at the brief respite while the infant was quieted, resumed her story:
 My husband asked the men what they wanted him to do. You go down into the cabin with your family the man said. My husband said, I cannot go this way to Con- necticut.' He referred to the fact that he was not dressed. I have got to dress" he said. I also got dressed. My husband took Betsy from her bed and took the bad down.

 Mrs Ceilings stressed the point that neither she nor her husband thought the pirates" would do them any harm. She continued:
 "I didn't think they'd do us any physical harm. I think that's the way my husband, Ben, thought also. The older man gave him per- mission to run the boat. He said that he could not run it with those bathing suits hanging up in front, and suggested they be taken down. The old man said, 'No.'
 The boat started to go. They didn't want any lights on it. They made him take the mooring light down. Everything was going along quietly and we started out of Prices Bend. After we were al- most out, near the stake-boat and away from the barges, we saw the lights of another boat"

state conventions. Varied comment came from members of congress who discussed action of the American Legion.
 President Hoover declined to comment.
 The legion's action was con- demned in a statement issued by the Anti-Saloon League. The vote "did not reflect the sentiment of the country and probably not of the legion itself," the statement said.
 Henry H. Curran. president of the Association Against the Prohi- bition Amendment, said the legion lis a splendid cross-section of the American people," Referring to the legion's vote of more than two to one, Curran said:
 For over a~year I have believed and have publicly contended that the sentiment of the people of our country is over two to one against any further continuance of the dis astrous experiment of national pro- hibition."
 Senator Frazier, republican, N. D., a prohibitionist, said he would favor referendum if the people desired it.
 Senator Hull, democrat, Tenn, said:
 .'I am concerned only to aid in preventing the merits of the pro- hibition question, either in whole or in part, from being made a partisan question in 1892"
 Senator Walsh. democrat, Mont, an able constitutional authority. said congress could constitutionally repeal the Volstead act or modify the definition of intoxicating liquor so as to permit three or four per cent beer. But he added that it would be nullification for congress to authorize intoxicating liquor" as long as the 18th Amendment is retained.
