MILLER NEW RULER
Of RING FEATHERS.
Southpaw 0utpoints Paul to
Gain N. B. A. Throne on
Third Attempt.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,


- HICAGO, January 14.-Freddie
Miller, slender southpaw from
Cincinnatis Rhineland today
at last had caught up with the
will-o'-the-wisp featherweight cham
pionship.
On his third try for the title-at
least as far as the National Boxing As
sociation is concerned-he collected
himself after bad start to take the
crown from Tommy Paul of Buffalo, N
Y, by decision victory in 10 rounds
at the Chicago Stadium. Friday the
18th may have had something to do
with it, but Miller's skillful campaign,
once he was started, would have taken
care of the situation on any day of
the week
IT was Paul's first battle in defense
l of the title he won in an N B. A.
tournament at Detroit last year, and
for three roundc he appeared thorough
ly capable of hanging on to it. Walk
ing away from Millers southpaw shots,
he fired away with straight right to
chin and jaw that earned him a sub
stantial margin. He reached the peak
of his effort in the third when the
right sent Miller flying into the ropes,
well shaken.
In the fourth, however, Miller
shifted to boxing. His jabbing right
kept Paul busy, and a swinging left
to head and body produced punish
ment to slow the champion down. A
small cut on his nose suffered in the
fifth annoyed Paul, and Miller's right
reopened it in every round thereafter
The decision of the two judges and
Referee Tommy Thomas was close but
unanimous, and satisfied disappoint-
ing crowd of about 5000 spectators.

In the old days, when Coffroth

Frisco, he brought together some
of the greatest fighters in history,
and he provided bouts that went
down as epicS. He reigned in day
when California practically had a

days what Tex Rickard was to the

Coffroth gained his nickname
with the aid of the weather man,

He was a shrewd promoter and a
daring one. A guarantee with him

Gold Clause In Contracts
To Be Repudiated

NEW YORK, May q Q.NS).-
The gold clause in contracts and
bond indentures will not hold
water.
That is tho consensus of opin-
ion Of the leading corporation
lawyers in Wall Street.
The clause calls for payment in
gold in present weight and fine
ness" of the dollar as Of the date
of drawing the contract. It is a
part of practically every bond in
denture-corporation as well as
Government.
In addition many mortgages, as
well as other business contracts
contain it. PromiSSory notes as
a rule do not, although one New
York bank tried it last year and
was discouraged" by the Federal
Reserve.
Abandon Practice
Only a small percentage Of the
mortgages on farm and urban
property have the clause. About
10 years ago the bigger mortgage
companies broke away from the
practice, so that it is mostly the
older mortgages that contain it.
There is considerable confusion
over the clause, heightened by the
demands of some foreign holders
of American bonds demanding
payment Of their May / interest
in gold. This is being refused.
Between rs and 100 billion dol
lars Of debt will be affected by
any decision as to the legality Of
the gold clause. The Federal,
State and municipal governments
have a SO billion debt, practically
all of which was contracted un:
der a gold clause.
Rails Owe ii Billions
The railroads owe $1,000, ,0OO,-
900, nearly all borrowed on gold
clause contracts. The same holds
true for the $1,000, 100000 debt
of industrial corporations, and a
large part of the $4,000, 900, 900
Of financial corporations. In ad.
dition, there are the dollar bonds
Of foreign governments.

SENATE BATTLE
OVER TAX BILL
UNDER WAY
Insurgent Demand for High
LeVies Against Rich Is
Due for Hard Fight

The Administrations budget
balancing tax bill. which the in
surgentS hope to use as a vehicle
to make the rich pay for numer-
Gus relief activities, started a
clamorous journey through the
Senate today with hearings start
ing before it's Finance Committee.
The bill, as it passed the House,
continued the 1-cent-a-gallon Fed
eral gasoline tax for another year,
shifted the 3 per cent electrical
power tax from the consumer to
the producer, and authorized the
President to reduce postal rates
to garner increased revenues.
The gas tax was estimated to
bring in $15,O00,0O Ga year, and
the electric tax another $780,
OO0, 900. Postal authorities said
the reduced postal rates might
bring in $50,000,00 more revenue
year.
Surtaxes Stressed
These provisions were accept
able to the insurgents as well as
Democratic leaders. But the in
Surgents demanded adoption Of
an amendment, levying a new
graduated scale of Federal sur.
taxes on incomes in excess Of
100000 a year.
They proposed scale starting
with so per cent surtax at $780,
900 and rising to a maximum Of
IS per cent on incomes in excess
of $1,000,000 a year.
The income tax row threatened
to overshadow all other provisions
of the bill. The inSurgent drive
revolved around an amendment
prepared by Senator Nye (RO Of
North Dakota.
It literally would carry out the
often voiced demand of Senator
Long CD Of Louisiana for a
decentralization of wealth
through Federal taxation.

. ON ITALY FOR
TRADE>TRUCE
Finance Minister Jung Here
Today for Farley; May
Seek Debt Concession

With the arrival Of italian
Finance Minister Guido Jung,
President Roosevelt and his ex-
perts today hoped to convert
Italy to the American program
for world economic recovery.
Efforts will be made first to
induce Premier Mussolini to sup
port the American plan for an
immediate international tariff
truce to last until the end Of
the World Economic Conference.
American officials believe if the
United States can win Italy's sup
port for an immediate truce, it
may be possible to induce Great
Britain, France, and Germany to
fall in line. So far, the latter
three nations have been reluctant
to agree to the truce in advance
of the conference.
Gold Basis, Hope
If Italy also balkS, efforts will
be made to obtain a pledge of
Italian support when the confer
ence convenes.
Italy's support also will be
sought for an international pro
gram to bring. about business re-
covery through drastic reduction
Of trade barriers, stabiliZation of
currencies at a relatively equal
value, and restoration Of an inter
national monetary standard based
principally on gold.
Officials here feel confident
of Italy's support for drastic re-
duction and supervision of arma-
ments and any consultative pact
to which the United States be-
comes a signatory.
Readjustment of Italy's $4,000
600, 900 debt to this country is ex.
pected to be brought up by Minis
ter Jung, but officials do not
anticipate the debt question will
prove an obstacle to trade negO-
tiations with Italy.
That nation paid it's $1,245, ,437
December debt inStallment with
out a Whimper. The June IS
installment due from Italy
amounts to $13,545,438, approx
mately $4,000, 900 more than the
December payment. For this rea-
son, Italy is expected to request
a readjuStment.
