STATE BOXING
REFORMS DUE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10. U.P)-
A general house cleaning in box
ing and wrestling in California,
and abolishment of what he claims
to be "star chamber" sessions of
the California Athletic commits
sion, was promised today by Will
liam Hornblower, San Francisco
assemblyman.
Hornblower was a sponsor of the
act passed at the recent election
to place control of the commission
in the hands of the Legislature.
There will be no more star
chamber sessions of the commits
sion" Hornblower declared en-
phatically. From now on, they
will open hearings, just like the
fish and game commission does,
and those with grievances can
voice them.
"There will be no more of this
curtailing of promotion licenses
either. If a promoter can post a
bond sufficient to guarantee his
bills, he can have permit" he
continued.
Meetings will be held at desig-
mated times, in rotation, at San
Francisco, Sacramento and Los
Angeles. There will be none of
this calling of meetings at Del
Monte or some other place, when
ever the commissioners feel like it.
Another thing that will be done
is to discard the present zone sys-
tenn of control in the state. When
meeting is called the group will
act in body and no one man
will be czar over his allotted dis
trict."

DEATH CLAIMS
SENATOR JONES
By JAMES S. SHEEHY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-An active
career that spanned "a consecu-
tive years in the lower and upper
houses of congress ended with the
death of United States Senator
Wesley Livesay Jones of Washing
ton at Mount Baker sanitarium
here today.
The SO year old senator, who was
chairman of the powerful appro-
priations committee and ranking
member of other important COM
mittees, died about 2 a. m, in the
presence of his immediate family.
His heart was greatly overtaxed
during the last session of congress.
He intended to take complete rest
but shortly after returning from
Washington, D. c., few months
ago, plunged into what turned out
to be his last campaign and his
only unsuccessful one.
He was defeated for reelection,
Nov. 8, by Homer t. Bone, Demo-
crat.
He travelled 1000 miles in small
car over the state with Marquis
T. Albertson, one of his secretaries,
during the recent campaign. He
made two radio speeches the night
before the election. He was SO weary
that his voice was scarcely audible
at times.
81 must carry on for the party"
he told his friends who urged him to
give up the campaign in the in
terests of his health.
Physicians were hopeful that
complete rest might restore him,
but his strength failed rapidly. His
heart had previously been impaired
by successive operations for chro-
mic ailment few years ago.

state of armed neutrality exists,
frightened by occasional skirmish-
es. Members of the office force
are busily watching results to find
out whether or not the black widow
has at last met her match.

ATTACK ROLPH
PARDON PLAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. UP)
Representatives of the Congre-
gational Women of Northern Cal
ifornia today joined delegates of
the Southern California Fedora
tion of Women's clubs in attack
ing Gov. James Rolph, Jr., for his
proposed pardoning of Wright act
violators.
They expressed the hope that
the 1888 Legislature would enact
legislation supplanting the re-
pealed state dry law, and protest
cd the governors pardon plan.
SACRAMENTO Nov. 10. U.P)-
Many violators of the Jones law
which makes possession of still
or possession of distilled liquor a
felony, may be included in Cover
nor Rolph's pardon program for
Wright act offenders, he indicated
today.
The governor said he was max
ing a survey to determine the
number of persons imprisoned in
this state for liquor law violations
adding that each case would be
given individual attention.
"Habitual violators of the Wright
act probably would violate the
law under any circumstances, and
that class of offenders will receive
small consideration" the governor
stated.
"This same policy will also pre-
vail in the cases of those convict
ed under terms of the Jones act.
1--WE will ascertain under what
circumstances every violator o1
either act was convicted, and will
be guided in our conclusions by
whether the violator was the oper-
ator of large still for commercial
Use or if he made little liquor fol
family USE"

vised by Chief Glassford that the police
department was unable to handle the
general situation here.

arrived at police headquarters just 2
minutes after he had left his office to
testify in a Police Court case. They
