 from Bullets

the midwest, too, and charity be- gins at home. But if the New York Milk Fund gives up it's right to devote the profits of the match to New York babies, then the req sons it had for signing up the bat tiers in the first place have disap- peared.
 It is all very complicated, with the outlaWing of the fight in New York, but there. seems to be a rather simple solution of the whole pro5lem.
 Chicago could stage the Schmel- ing -Stribling fight in June and the profits, if any, could go. towards buying milk for Chicago babies. The winner could fight Primo Car nera, if that still is considered ne- cessary, or Jack Sharkey if it isn't, in New York in the fall. The New York babies could drink milk from the profits of this one. Every one would have fight and there would be milk for all the babies.
 There is one great bar, how ever, to such logical reasoning. As far as New York is concerned, the commission has ruled that Schmel- ing will fight Sharkey there, or no one. And when the Commission says Sharkey it doesn't mean Car nera. As a commission it is not even funny that way.

The boys are beginning to won der if the old days of the fight game are coming back, the days of the runaround, when all you needed was a pen, camera, and a half-dozen quarts of champagne to sign up a heavyweight cham pionship fight.
 Remember how Jack Dempsey and his predecessors before the days of the late Tex Rickard drop ped in here and there to agree to defend their titles, moved on and promptly forgot all about it?
 At one time Jack had contracts to fight Harry Wills for three diff ferent promoters in various sec tions of the country and at the some time he had the Tom Gibbons bout first in his mind
 Rickard changed all that. When he dragged out the papers he meant it. They agreed to fight, the mon- ey was posted in banks, and they fought. Careless penmanship went out of style.
 The influx of foreign fighters and the desire of most of the American managers to horn in on their popularity brought back the custom Of carrying fountain pens on coat lapels. Arthur Buelow wrote Max Schmeling into such entanglements that the lawyers still have years of work ahead
 Now the heavyweights are entan- gled in a round robin of contracts that are gradually taking on the appearance Of the documents that guaranteed Harry Wills title shot in so many places.
 Schmeling will defend the heavy weight crown against Young Strib- ling so the contracts say and the winner will give Primo Camera his title chance some time next fall. The papers might just as well be torn up, however, if some place toi stage the matches isn't found rath- CT soon.
 Chicago or Cleveland probably will get the first one but there is still much conferring and compro- missing to be done. The New York Milk Fund promoters, raising a fund for metropolitan babies, can't seem to get past the Chicago req soning that babies drink milk inl

Bound Over To Superior Court On
 Forgery Charge
Bonds of Sz,0O0 Asked-Sister of Accused Ast0nish- ed When She Found Her Signature Affixed to Promiss0ry Note

of $500. Caparaso insisted that some responsible person be asked to endorse it. The name of the accused's sister, Mrs Fibre. was sufficient for Caparaso and he ac- cepted the note and turned over $500 to Rolli.
 Mrs Fibre on the witness stand today declared that she was "dum- founded" when she was informde that she had placed her signature on a note, which her brother had failed to make good. She denied that he signed her name to the document, which was presented to her this morning for inspection.
 Rollis defense was considered a very peculiar one. He admitted arranging for a loan of $500. but as the entire transaction took place in bank, he was unaware of Ca paraso's interest. He was also my stified about the appearance of his sisters signature on the note.
 After examining the check with Rolli's signature on it's and the note, Judge T. V. Meyer found probable cause and ordered the young man held for higher court.

MORE SECRETS OF BISHOP CANNON
 ARE REVEALED
Very Plainly Shown That the Republican Leaders Were Involved in Anti- Smith Campaign
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES. United Press Stan Correspondent.

DL lhoMfho L. olohL9s United Press Stan Correspondent. Washington, Aug 2S.-UP)-A tight Tipped woman who once de- fled senate investigators was to be questioned to-day about a series of mysterious bank accounts trans- contributions to the Anti-Smith presidential campaign in the south in 1928.
 The questioning is intended to determine if Bishop James Can non Jr violated the corrupt prac- tices act in failing to report such contributions as revealed In yes terdays testimony before the Nye seante committee.
 The witness called to-day was Miss Ada l.. Burroughs. very fa- miliar with the bishops financial transactions. She was his secre- tary and treasurer of the anti Smith democrats.
 The youthful Chairman Senator Wye thinks she could reveal much, If she would. It was indicated she again would defy the commit tee as she did last spring and re- fuse to testify.
 Just what this action would bring upon her Is not known. Nye has threatened to institute contempt proceedings if she remains silent about the $4s,300 anti-Smith funds which were not reported as the law requires.
 This amount was part of the $65,000 contribution of Edwin c. Jameson, New York insurance man, capitalist. and angel of the democratic anti-Smith campaign.
 Another unreported contribution was revealed by the committee yesterday, a sum of $10.000 giv- en by former Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen, repn, N. J.
 Jameson listened with wonder yesterday as funds he had contri- buted were traced by a committee expert from one of Cannon's eight bank accounts to another. He told the committee he gave Cannon no money for anything except political purposes.
 Naively. the short, be-spectacled millionaire told how President Hoover's wesetrn campaign man. ager, the late James w. Good, sec retary of war in the Hoover cabi- net until his death, had told him about an Independent organiza- ton, which was to be a part of the campaign.
 This independent organization" Jameson suggested to the commit tee, was the anti-Smith democrats. He denied, in spite of such in- cidents, that the republican organ ization was directly involved in the democratic anti-Smith cam paign.
 Senator Wagner. dem, N. Y.. close friend of Alfred E. Smith, said it was very plainly shown tah republican leaders had been directly involved in the anti-Smith campaign.

titled to go ahead. Should there be collision under such circum- stances. the right of way rule might be invoked to determine blame.
 Rotary circles are now pretty we'll understood in Connecticut. While it is true that they slow down traffic to some extent, tenn porarily, yet the fact that in most cases where circle is used, a light or other method of division of traffic would have to be installed If the circle were not there, makes the saving of time for the operat- or a very certain result. This slowing down of traffic at a dan gerous point, together with the fact that the circle makes the car travel to the right of the center of the highway and does not allow improper turns at the discretion ot the operator, makes for safety. There have been comparatively few accidents at rotary circles. Those which have occurred have invariably been due to reckless driving on the part of some oper- ator."
 The above bulletin. prepared by MT Stockel, was read to-day by station announcer from WTIC in the interests of highway safety.

has a tendency to slow down ap- preaching traffic from every direc- tion. A car must be travelling at a moderate rate of speed to nego- tiate circle. However, this mod eration of speed usually does away with the necessity for stopping.
 When a car must be brought to a stop at rotary circle, it is because of the application of the right of way rule. This rule is ef- fective in connection with rotary traffic, and car approaching from the right to enter the circle would, providing two cars are ar irving at the intersection at ap- proximately the same time. be en-
