election from the State Of Pennsyl-

If President Roosevelt finds it pos
sible to open the Century Of Progress
World Fair at Chicago May ~, thus
keeping . promise to the late Mayor
Tony Cermak, he plans on the same
occasion to ofdciate there at another
dedication. The Great Lakes to the
Gulf waterway, which bisects Illinois,
Is about ready to be unveiled. The In
augural ceremony was not planned to
take place until mid-June. but the
President has expressed his willing
ness to set the waterway formally y
motion If the function can be made
to synchronize with the World Fair
curtain-raiser. Secretary Dern and the
Army engineers, who built the canal,
are working to that end.

work it out. The President had q net
work Of $50 stations, including both
great national chains. There are said
to be about 100000 radio sets in use
in the United States. Allowing for
1000 900 out Of action or out of range
for one reason or anoher, probably
10000 sets were tuned In last Sun
day evening. As it Is calculated that
an average Of not fewer than or 3
persons per set listen to program, radios
statistic1ans reckon that at least 49,
000, 900 pairs Of ears were cooked In the
direction Of the White house on the
occasion In question. Short waves car
ried Mr.. Roosevelt's address across the
Atlantic, but as 1t arrived there be-
tween 3 and am, owing to diher-
many Britishers. Frenchmen, Italians
or Germans stayed up to hear him.
Spring tourists, convention attend
ants and other tax-paying patriots who
visit Washington at this season are
disappointed to discover that hand
shaking bees are taboo at the White
House. President Roosevelt has de-
cided that he has more important
things to do Just now than grasp the
paws Of well-wishing citizens from
the provinces. To gain the executive
presence nowadays, one must have
definite and important reason. People
who turn up with letters of introduc-
ton from members Of Congress find
that even these, with rare exceptions,
are no passports to the presidential
Office.

Bank Reform.

Alter weeks OF delay, during which
efforts have been made to reconcile the
differences between Senator Glass and
other congressional leaders In banking
legislation and the Secretary Of the
Treasury, the bank reform bill Is at last
today brought into the open, with the
belief that President Roosevelt win sup
port It. The new measure, which will
be introduced by the Virginia Senator,
Is OF far-reaching effect. Its purpose
Is to limit the kind Of business which
may be done by banks Of deposit to .
banking business and to divorce these
banks from the security and other in
vestment business. A further purpose
Is to prevent the use Of great banking
reserves for speculation In the stock
market. And back Of the entire pro-
posal Is the desire to re-establish and
confirm the confidence Of the people
In their banks, and to make bank fail
ures Is few and far between as IS
humanity possible.
The draft Of the new bill carries .
provision for the insurance Of bank de-
posits, which has been modified to meet,
at least In part, objections Of the ad-
ministration to insurance Of bank de-
posts. For example, full insurance Is
given to deposits up to $4,000, IS per
cent insurance to deposits between
$4,000 and 0,o0o, and SO per cent IN
surance TO deposits from $4,000 up.
Furthermore, the insurance feature Is
not to be made operative until July /,
1894. The reason given for this Is to
allow time during which an examination
may be made Of the thousands Of banks
which are expected to participate in IT..
This proposed delay, however. will meet
some opposition on Capitol Hill, where
the argument Is made that this il the
time, Of all others, when immediate
confidence in the banks Is necessary to
bring the banks back to the fullest use
Of these institutions.
There has been strong opposition to
the Glass bill. particularly among some
Of the New York bankers. The bill, g
It now stands, has been amended % as
to prevent, after two years, private
banks from carrying On both Q deposit
business and security business. This
proposal Is in line with the provision
Of the bill divorcing other banking In
stitutions from their so-called anil
iates" after q two-year period. The
Glass bill carries, too, . provision per-
hitting branch banking by national
banks In States which permit 1t. The
branch banking feature Of the bill has
been used in the past as . buckler be-
hind which the opponents Of other pro-
visions Of the measure have fought.
Unless the strong arm Of the admin
istration is placed firmly behind this
bank reform bill, the prospects Of its
passage at the present special session
Of Congress do not appear particularly
bright. The opposition Is expected
again to marshal its forces when the
measure comes up for consideration.
It has first to be acted upon by the
Senate committee. President Roosevelt
IN his inaugural address, and in his
messages to the Congress. has declared
the need Of permanent bank reform
legislation and promised It.

 Ump SIugs Player

Mexico City, Oct 23--(U.P.) = Members of a United States barn storming baseball team, composed mostly of big leaguers, nursed bruises and scratches to-day and were thankful to the police and gendarmes who rescued them from a free-for-all fight yesterday.

 Special Policeman Wilfred Ba~ ker, who endeavored to stop the disorder single handed, was kicked in the stomach and lost his club, but chung to two of the fighters until reserves arrived. All avail able police were rushed to the field and as many of the partici- pants as could be rounded up were herded into a truck and taken to headquarters, followed by an in- furiated crowd which milled about town hall for several hours.

Boxing has been complicated lately by strange names and strange people.

Where are the Frank Morans Fred Full tons, Bill Brennans and Tommy Gibbonses of yesteryear?
 Not only do we have to contend with Impelletiere, but along comes a person with such handle as Irving Ashkenazy to trouble our dreams. He is not only a boxer but he writes what he calls poetry. Not only does he write what he calls poetry but he sells the stuff though Irving admits that he gets more money for his uppercuts than for his odes. ..

Camera planned to remain in Rome a few days before going to Paris, but because of the boos and misses from many of his country men when he failed to knock out his staggering, blood-smeared op- ponent, he may depart sooner.
 Camera won the decision over. the veteran Basque in a 15-round bout in the historic Piazza di Siena before 65,000 fans, including Pre- mier Benito Mussolini, James Roosevelt, son of the United States president; Achille Starrace, gen eral secretary of the fascist party, and other notables. C.
 Not So Good
 But the fans were not satisfied with the unveiling of Italy's first heavyweight champion in his first defense of the crown which he wrested from Jack Sharkey~ by knockout last June. Round after round the 260-pound Camera bat tered his 211-pound opponent about the ring, with blood oozing from gashes above both Paolino's eyes, from a cut cheek, from Q split lip and from his nose.
 "Basta! basta!" (enough) shout ed the. fans as the 6 foot z inch Carnera continued to land wagon tongue blows upon the gory hu- man punching bag, who retreated from corner to corner, bounced on the ropes, but never went down: The lion n-hearted Uzcudun flashed his gold-toothed smile through bloody lips at the end. He was badly beaten but his record of never having been knocked down or counted out was still intact.
 What few cheers rose when the decision was announced were all for the wood-schopper.
 Paolino landed only six or seven solid blows during the bout. Car nera, acting under instructions from one of his seconds, Max Schmeling, former heavyweight champion, kept his long left arm continually jabbing at his shorter opponent, preventing him from coming close.
 Easy Count
 The referee and judges Signor Mazzia of Italy and Senor Casa : novas of Spain credited Primo with 35 points out of possible 46. in- dicating he had won 12 rounds with the other three about even.
 Gate receipts totaled about $117,- 500 of which Paolino receives ID per cent. Most of the proceeds will be used for various forms of fascist relief. Camera receives nothing but expenses. However, Premier Musso- lini will reward him with Q con- membership in the Order of the Grown of Italy. Near the end of the bout it was announced that Camera had frac. tured his right hand in the ninth round when he struck Paolino 1T the elbow. Thi announcement placated the crowd somewhat. La. ter. Cameras manager, Louis So- reef, said the hand had only been badly bruised.
 Several persons were slightly in- jured when small stand collapsed before the bout. Premier Mussolini leaped from his seat at the crash, received an immediate report on what had happened, and smilingly motioned for the crowd to sit down. He was given an ovation.
